The two discussed for half an hour, but could not think of any good solution until the Prince of Ningyuan came back.

"Meet Madam Gu."

The Prince of Ningyuan bowed to Gu Zhu with a smile.

"Prince, please don't be so polite." When Gu Zhu saw the Prince of Ningyuan, she couldn't stop smiling.

She knew in her heart that with their family background, her daughter was able to marry someone like the Prince of Ningyuan because of her deceased father-in-law, Mr. Gu.

If my father-in-law had not been kind to old Marquis Qin and old Earl Ningyuan, such a marriage would not have been arranged.

The more Gu Zhu looked at the Prince of Ningyuan, the more she liked him. Now that the Prince of Ningyuan was a guard in the palace, he could go home every day.

Although he was only of the fifth rank, he was highly regarded by his superiors and was close to the Fourth Prince and some other princes and grandchildren of the emperor in the palace.

Not to mention the princes and young masters of the high-ranking officials and noble families in the capital.

"Mother, please chat with Madam Gu. I have some official business to attend to, so I'll be going now."

After the Prince of Ningyuan left, Gu Zhu immediately praised him.

"The prince is truly outstanding."

"Mrs. Gu, you are overpraising me."

In the yard, Qin Yao and Gu Rong were talking and laughing. Gu Rong talked about the last time her clothes were snatched by Gu Zhao.

"My eldest sister even scolded Shopkeeper Zhu and said she wanted all the fabrics..."

Qin Yao was naturally very angry when she heard Gu Rong's words.

"Before you said she was an honest girl from the countryside, but I didn't expect she was so short-sighted that she even wanted to snatch a few pieces of cloth. With her condition, she still wants to be my sister-in-law. She is really dreaming..."

Hearing Qin Yao's scolding, Gu Rong felt even happier.

"Maybe my elder sister didn't mean that, Yaoyao, I apologize to you on her behalf, please don't be angry with her..."

At this moment, the Prince of Ningyuan walked in.

When he saw the Prince of Ningyuan, Gu Rong's eyes lit up and he became shy.

"I've met the prince."

When Prince Ningyuan saw Gu Rong, his eyes became much gentler.

"Miss Gu, please don't be polite."

When Qin Yao saw her elder brother, she immediately complained.

"Brother, don't marry that Gu Zhao. She is so uneducated. Only Rongrong can be my sister-in-law."

Qin Yao continued to talk about Gu Zhao's evil deeds.

"You don't know, Gu Zhao tied up the nanny next to her in the mansion and almost beat her to death. That nanny had been with her for more than ten years, and now she was sold out... She is so cruel..."

Upon hearing this, Prince Ningyuan also became angry.

"Why is she so cruel?"

"My Lord, my elder sister grew up in the manor. My mother hired a nanny to teach her. She will definitely be able to teach her well..."

"Rongrong, you are so kind. She is so cruel, but you still speak well of her."

Gu Rong successfully provoked the Ningyuan Earl's son and Qin Yao's dislike for Gu Zhao, and after talking to them for a while, he said goodbye.

Gu Mansion.

Gu Zhao heard the news and knew that Gu Zhu and Gu Rong had left the house. She understood that the mother and daughter had gone to the Ningyuan Marquis's house to discuss countermeasures.

She was very clear about Gu Zhushi and Gu Rong's methods.

Now, she has to pretend to be sick.

"Cough cough cough."

Gu Zhao started coughing.

Cuihua immediately understood what Gu Zhao meant.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Cuihua shouted anxiously and reached out to touch Gu Zhao's head.

"Your forehead is so hot."

"Xiaofang, go and tell the old lady and ask her to send a doctor to see the young lady. She may have a fever."
