After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 198 This is a thank you gift to us

Jiang Xiyu's eyes flickered slightly. The jewelry she gave to Hu and Sun was just a little more expensive than ordinary ones.

Qing'er gave the two brocade boxes to Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Sun.

After they took the brocade box, they still looked incredulous and asked, "Is this really a gift from my sister-in-law?"

Qing'er nodded, her face sincere, "Our Madam said these are gifts to thank the two Madams for standing by her side."

Qing'er handed over the brocade box and bowed before leaving.

The two of them couldn't wait to open the box, and when they saw the three pieces of jewelry in the box, their eyes lit up.

"What beautiful jewelry." Mrs. Hu took out a mutton-fat jade bracelet and couldn't let it go.

Sun also liked the jewelry in the box. "I've seen Jiang wear this before. These three pieces of jewelry are probably worth a thousand taels of silver."

Mrs. Hu looked at Mrs. Sun and asked, "Why did she suddenly give us these jewels?"

The jewelry he borrowed from her before were not as valuable as these three items, and she had tried to get them back. Why is he so generous to give the jewelry to her and Sun now?

Sun put the bracelet on her hand and said nonchalantly, "Didn't her maid just say that this is a thank you gift for us?"

The crystal clear jade is much better than her own jewelry.

Mrs. Hu frowned, "Don't you think that the Jiang family has changed a lot now? It's completely different from before."

Jiang Xiyu was weak and vulnerable before, so they followed Zheng and Xu Rong to bully her, borrowing her jewelry and not returning it, cheating her of her dowry, and trying every way to take advantage of her.

She was also submissive, but now Jiang Xiyu not only asked them to return the jewelry, but also gave them gifts of thanks even though they only helped her a little, or even did not help at all.

Sun, who was happy, put down her hands and showed a puzzled expression, "You really have to say, she is a bit strange now."

"Yes, now she will avenge any grudges, but she will also repay any favors. She is no longer a timid person."

"Speaking of which, it's quite good for her to be like this. We can go to Jingyu Garden more often in the future. I don't think there's any harm in being on good terms with Jiang Xiyu."

Mrs. Hu nodded.

What Sun said was right. Jiang Xiyu was a good person. Now that Xu Rui valued her, she was the real mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. Instead of flattering Zheng and Xu Rong, it would be better to make friends with Jiang Xiyu.

Qing'er returned to Jingyu Garden and reported the gift of the brocade box. "The Second and Third Madams are very happy to receive your gift, Madam."

Jiang Xiyu smiled and handed Qing'er a few medicinal recipes she had just written. "Go with Madam Yu and prepare the ingredients."

Qing'er looked at the medicinal recipe Jiang Xiyu had just written, and her eyes suddenly lit up. "Madam, have you developed a new medicinal recipe?"

Jiang Xiyu raised her eyebrows. "I've been delayed for several days because of my illness this time. I can't delay any longer."

Gu Yunling was still waiting for her to open her medicinal food shop. Now that her illness was completely cured, it was natural for her to speed up the process and develop more medicinal foods.

"I will prepare it right away."

Qing'er immediately took the recipe and went to prepare the ingredients with Nanny Yu, and Jiang Xiyu also went to prepare the medicinal herbs.

On Deji's side, just as Jiang Xiyu had thought, he wrote a letter to Xu Rui, detailing everything that happened when Xu Rong returned home today without missing a single word.

On the official road leading to the north.

"Master Hou."

After traveling day and night, Xu Rui suddenly saw his other guard De Yu not far away, waving at him.

"Whoa." Xu Rui reined in the reins and looked at Deyu, "Why are you here? Didn't you enter the Northern Territory?"

De Yu shook his head. "I have been waiting for you here. Without your order, I dare not enter the northern border privately."

Xu Rui felt relieved when he heard that he did not enter the country without permission.

This way, the bandits won't be alerted, and they won't be so alert, making it much easier for them to suppress them.

"Where's the main force?"

Deyu raised his chin in the direction of the main force and said, "It's just two miles ahead. We've rested for a day and a night. Now that you're back, we can enter the northern border at dawn."

Xu Rui nodded silently and walked towards them.

"My Lord, how is the Madam's illness?" Deyu stepped forward and held Xu Rui's horse.

When mentioning Jiang Xiyu, Xu Rui's eyes were filled with tenderness, "When I came back, she seemed to be better. She should be fine after a few days of rest."

The last time he went back to see her, she had gotten much better.

Deyu was relieved after hearing this. "Did the Marquis alarm His Majesty when he returned this time?"

"I went back to the palace to see him, and he already knew I was back in Beijing."

"You..." Deyu was surprised. He didn't expect this result. He looked at Xu Rui worriedly, "Then why would His Majesty let you come back?"

Xu Rui returned to the capital without permission, which was a crime of deceiving the emperor and punishable by death.

Xu Rui briefly told him about his experience of stealing the military token from the Prince of Qin's mansion.

Deyu was shocked and lowered his voice, "So the military token that the Marquis got from the Qin Palace is fake?"

"It's fake." Xu Rui said with certainty, "Your Majesty also knows that the military token is fake."

He sent it to Gu Wei in the palace just because it was fake. If it was real, he would not have given the military order to Gu Wei.

Deyu was stunned. "This King of Qin is really cunning. He deliberately made a fake military token to lure people to steal it."

The key point is that the fake military token was hidden so deeply that Xu Rui couldn't steal it when he went there for the first time.

Xu Rui's eyes were deep as he spoke, "When I was returning, the entire Qin Palace sent out soldiers to search the entire city for thieves, and I also used a trick to break out of the city gate."

Deyu was confused. "Didn't you say that the military token was fake? What does the Qin Palace mean by this?"

It is impossible that the Qin Palace did not know that their military tokens were fake, so why did they mobilize the entire palace and send troops to search the entire city for thieves?

Xu Rui narrowed his eyes and said, "This is a good trick of Gulin Envoy. He wants His Majesty to suspect that I have replaced the real military talisman."

Gulin was stabbed by Jiang Xiyu, but he still had time to plot against him. It seems that Jiang Xiyu's stab was not deep enough.

However, I didn't see him at the Prince Qin's Mansion that night. Maybe he went somewhere to recuperate.

Deyu was shocked again when he heard this. "Will His Majesty doubt you?"

Now Xu Rui is lurking beside Gu Wei and has finally gained Gu Wei's trust. Now that this incident has happened, all his previous efforts have been in vain.

Xu Rui was silent for a long time before saying, "I think they won't doubt me for the time being."

After all, he really did not change the military token, and he had a clear conscience, so he was naturally not afraid of Gulin's suspicion.

But given Gulin's suspicious nature, perhaps this incident has already planted the seeds of suspicion in his heart.

This is also where Gulin is smart. Even if this trick he used cannot make Gulin suspect him immediately, it will at least lay hidden dangers for him in the future.

Deyu was also a little uneasy and whispered, "My Lord, shouldn't we move forward with our plans?"
