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

Chapter 161 An unexpected encounter

Xie Miaorong was humiliated in front of the Huo family and left angrily.

She didn't expect that her grandmother would be so ruthless and send her mother away without saying a word.

Fortunately, except for Mrs. Huo, everyone in the mansion was very respectful to her, and many families from outside also came to pay their respects and curry favor with her, which made her feel a little better.

When Prince Heng becomes the crown prince, she will be the Crown Princess, and then she can bring her mother back!

After several days, Xie Miaorong found that Gu Jin had never come to say hello to her. After asking around, she found out that Gu Jin left home early every day to run her business.

Xie Miaorong got up early that day and waited in the garden. As expected, she saw Gu Jin coming over with Ruyi Ebony and Amber, talking and laughing.

"Gu Jin!" Xie Miaorong shouted coldly with a haughty tone.

Gu Jin was stunned for a moment, then walked forward with a smile, "What a coincidence, Sister Miaorong is here to appreciate the flowers?"

"Unfortunately! I was waiting for you!"

Xie Miaorong looked Gu Jin up and down critically, and then she scolded him, "Look at yourself, do you look like a lady from a noble family? You are always in the spotlight, and you are embarrassing my third brother!"

"Xie Ran told you?" Gu Jinmo asked with a nonchalant smile.

"Does he need to tell me this? Look at which daughter-in-law is like you!

You are shameless, but the Yongchang Marquisate still has some dignity. I can't just watch you ruin the reputation of the Marquisate!" Xie Miaorong said condescendingly.

Gu Jin smiled and said, "Sister Miaorong, if you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish? How do you know that my husband doesn't like me like this?"

When Xie Miaorong was about to speak, Gu Jin smiled faintly and said, "Sister Miaorong, how can outsiders understand the fun between other couples? In the future, don't act on your own like this or you'll be laughed at."

Gu Jin almost said that she was meddling in other people's business.

"As for the reputation Sister Miaorong mentioned... I am always accompanied by a driver and maid when I go out, and I won't fall into a man's arms by accident, so how can I ruin the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion?"

Ruyi and Hupo pursed their lips secretly in the back. Seeing that Gu Jin dared to ridicule her, Xie Miaorong immediately got angry, "What if I order you not to leave the house to run business again?"

Gu Jin became more interested and asked with a smile, "Then may I ask what identity Sister Miaorong has in ordering me?"

"I can command you no matter who I am!"

Gu Jin laughed out loud, "Sister Miaorong, why are you becoming more and more naive? You are the daughter of the second house, and I am the daughter-in-law of the first house. Even if you are the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion, you have no control over me.

If I were to use the title of Princess Heng..."

Gu Jin's smile deepened, and he whispered in Xie Miaorong's ear, "Do you think Prince Heng relies more on the Marquis' Mansion, or does the Marquis' Mansion rely more on Prince Heng?"

Xie Miaorong's pupils shrank.

The Yongchang Marquis's family has made great contributions for generations, so even if Concubine Wan does not enter the palace, the glory of the Marquis's mansion will not be diminished in the slightest.

However, if Prince Heng wants to ascend the throne, he must rely on the assistance of various forces, among which the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion is indispensable.

Xie Miaorong originally thought that now that she had become the Princess of Heng, the mansion would pamper her and rely on her. But after hearing what Gu Jin said today, she suddenly realized that even if she became the Princess of Heng, the Yongchang Marquisate was inherited by the eldest branch, and she and the Prince of Heng could not even get the help of the mansion, so there was no time for her to act like a spoiled brat.

Seeing that Xie Miaorong had behaved himself, Gu Jin left with Ruyi and the others.

Amber followed behind Gu Jin and looked back at Xie Miaorong. After thinking for a while, she whispered to Gu Jin, "Madam, I once saw something unexpected in the palace."

"What's the matter?" Gu Jin asked casually.

Amber bit her lip and lowered her voice, "I once saw Prince Heng secretly hugging a guard..."
