After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Gu Jin told Mrs. Huo what happened in Jiang's house. She spoke in a cheerful tone and described the events vividly, which made Mrs. Huo and Mrs. Su laugh.

"I didn't expect you to be such a little rascal." Huo pointed at Gu Jin, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

In fact, she had already prepared to clean up the mess for Gu Jin. She once secretly told Gu Jin that if he was bullied severely, he should overturn the table and run back, and she would come forward to solve it.

Unexpectedly, she not only resolved the crisis, but also extorted 10,000 taels of silver from the other party.

Su couldn't help but bend her lips and praise: "Jin'er is really smart, but she asked for less money."

She said that it would cost at least one hundred or eighty thousand yuan, and ten thousand taels of silver was not enough.

Mrs. Huo glared at her. How could you teach a child like that?

Gu Jin nodded obediently, "Then I'll order more next time."

Huo: “…” Actually, there is no need to learn so fast.

Ma felt uncomfortable watching this, and couldn't bear to see Gu Jin's smug look, "Mother, it seems that Jin'er got the upper hand this time, but the Jiang Mansion is the Empress Dowager's family home. If the Empress Dowager is unhappy, how can Concubine Wan live well in the palace?

And Mr. Jiang is the Minister of Personnel, who is in charge of the assessment of all officials. If he secretly makes things difficult for us, wouldn’t he lose more than he deserves?"

"If you ask me, Jin'er is still too impulsive. Why would she gamble the future of the whole mansion just for a moment of pleasure?"

Xie Miaorong also echoed, "Mother is right. Since Madam Jiang and Miss Jiang have both apologized to my third brother and sister-in-law, if my third brother and sister-in-law does a favor, it will not only show magnanimity, but also avoid hostility between our two families."

Gu Jin was terrified when he heard this, and said in panic, "Oh my God, have I caused such a big disaster?"

Xie Miaorong looked at Gu Jin coldly. She looked down on her from the bottom of her heart. She only cared about petty gains and had no sense of the overall situation. Why did her third brother choose such a wife!

"That's good to know. In the future..."

Before Xie Miaorong could finish, she heard Gu Jin say softly, "I became the target of public criticism, and no one was willing to stand up and speak for me.

I was young and this was my first time encountering such a thing, so I was terribly scared.”

After Gu Jin finished speaking, he looked at Mrs. Huo with tears in his eyes, "Grandma, I will go to the Jiang Mansion and tell Madam Jiang that I don't want the silver anymore."

Ma's face changed and she said hurriedly, "Mother, please listen to my explanation.

I didn’t know the truth at the time, so I didn’t dare to speak out.”

"Second Aunt, do you also think that I would be the kind of evil person who would kill people at will?" Gu Jin looked at Ma pitifully, like an innocent puppy.

But Ma could clearly see the fox tail shaking behind her.

Damn little vixen!

"Jin'er, how can I not believe you..."

Gu Jin had already turned around and leaned his head on Su's shoulder, saying aggrievedly, "Mother, I was almost arrested as a murderer. Jin'er was so scared."

Ma: "..."

Xie Miaorong: “…”

If you are afraid that you can extort another 10,000 taels of silver from someone, please stop pretending.

"Don't be afraid, Jin'er. If anything happens in the future, your mother will accompany you and will never let you be bullied." Su felt distressed and gently stroked Gu Jin's back to comfort her, "Tomorrow your mother will take you out shopping. We will spend more money to buy some things, just as if it were a loss to avoid disaster."

Gu Rou was so jealous that her teeth were about to gnaw. How could Gu Jin feel wronged? Moreover, she had already received 10,000 taels. Wouldn't it be a waste of the mansion's money to buy her more things?

Mrs. Huo's eyes were as sharp as torches, and she looked at Mrs. Ma meaningfully.

In the past, the second daughter-in-law was well-mannered and kind to others. She specifically asked Ma to take better care of Gu Jin. She said she was happy about it, but she didn't expect that he was actually hypocritical.

"This is the fault of the Jiang family. Even if the incident were to be reported to the palace, His Majesty and the Queen Mother would not be able to find fault with our family.

If you just keep it to yourself, it will only lose the integrity of the Yongchang Marquisate, and Concubine Wan will not be able to hold her head up in the palace."

Ma's face tightened when being looked at by Mrs. Huo, and she lowered her head and said hurriedly, "Mother is teaching me that my daughter-in-law is shallow."

Although Mrs. Huo was unhappy, she still saved face for Mrs. Ma in front of the younger generation and stopped talking without saying more.

"Old lady."

Yuci opened the curtain and said, "Madam Xu wants to see you."

Huo subconsciously glanced at Su and said calmly, "Please come in."

Aunt Xu's eyes were red, and as soon as she entered the room, she knelt on the ground and choked up, "Please ask the old lady to make the decision for Miaoyin."

"Miaoyin? What happened to her?"

The expressions of Ma and the others were somewhat unnatural, and Xie Miaorong even turned her face away in disgust, not wanting to look at Aunt Xu any longer.

Mrs. Huo felt nervous when she saw this. Could something have happened to Miaoyin in Jiang’s house?

"what happened!"

"Madam, Miaoyin has always been gentle and dignified, but today, after drinking a glass of wine poured by the Third Young Lady at the Jiang residence, she... defecated in public." Aunt Xu's eyes were filled with tears. "Girls are so thin-skinned. Miaoyin came back crying and insisted on committing suicide. I had a hard time persuading her to stop."

"Second sister's mental endurance is a bit weak. Is it just a false bowel movement that requires her to commit suicide?

I've been called a fool and a idiot for so many years, but I'm still alive and well." Gu Jin sighed and shook his head.

Everyone: “…” Not everyone is as thick-skinned as you!

Aunt Xu glared at Gu Jin fiercely.

Miaoyin would never go to the bathroom for no reason. The only thing wrong before that was the glass of wine that Gu Jinjing gave her!

Mrs. Huo understood what Aunt Xu meant, "Are you saying this matter is related to Jin'er?"

Gu Jin covered his lips in shock, "No way, no way, can you blame me for my second sister's false bowel movement?"

"Miaoyin has never done such a shameful thing before. How come she became like this after drinking the wine you, Third Young Madam, poured for her?" Aunt Xu's eyes were cold.

"My second sister gave me a beautiful sachet, which I liked very much. So I thought of offering her a glass of wine. Is there anything wrong with that?

Besides, the drinks were prepared by the Jiang family, so how can it be my fault? "

"Madam and Miss, you were also with Miaoyin at that time. Did you notice anything?" Aunt Xu winked at Gu Rou.

She really didn't know how Gu Jin did it, but now she could only put the blame on Gu Jin, otherwise Miaoyin would not be able to face people again.

Gu Rou rolled her eyes and recalled seriously, "I didn't pay much attention at the time, but it seems that after the elder sister offered Miaoyin a glass of wine, Miaoyin..."

Aunt Xu looked at Xie Miaorong earnestly again. She had known that Ma had bad intentions. Now that she had a chance to step on the eldest wife, Ma would never miss it.

Ma did think so. After all, the more chaotic the first wife's life was, the more the second wife would benefit.

Ma just winked at Xie Miaorong, and then she heard her coldly say: "I didn't see anything!

Or maybe she herself was not disciplined enough, which led to her doing something so embarrassing.

Which family would let a concubine's daughter be raised in a concubine's courtyard? I think this matter was wrong from the beginning. If the second sister had been raised by her stepmother since she was a child, she might not have made such a joke today!"

Aunt Xu was almost furious.

Gu Jin almost laughed out loud. This Miss Xie was quite interesting. Her main strategy was to attack indiscriminately regardless of friend or foe.

Gu Jin stepped forward slowly and said earnestly, "Grandma, I am willing to prove my innocence, otherwise I will not be able to face my second sister in the mansion in the future. I think it is better to find a doctor to examine my belongings."

"Oh, right." Gu Jin suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Duobao who was standing in the corner, smiling, "And my maidservant needs to be tested as well!"
