My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 103 Preemptive Strike
Lord Gu sighed secretly.

At this moment, he just wanted to carry his wife back to Wutong Garden and have a good sleep with Meimei in his arms. Why was Gu Jingjun so tactless as to bump into him?

Lord Gu frowned and wanted to scold Gu Jingjun.

Qin Yuan whispered awkwardly in his ear: "Husband, you can't just ignore Sixth Master when he's like this, why don't you just let me go."

In just a short while, Master Gu Liu cried even louder, as if he wanted to come over and pull Master Gu Hou to make trouble.

There's no point in reasoning with a drunk person.

There is no point in arguing with someone who is drunk and pretending to be crazy.

It was really unbearable to watch Mr. Gu Liu crying, but it was hard to ignore it.

Gu Jinghui thought to himself that he was not afraid of that bastard Lao Liu, nor was he afraid that his mother would beat him up for ignoring Lao Liu in the future. He just compromised because he didn't want to scare his young wife.

"Ok."

Gu Jinghui put Qin Yuan down, and then he scolded Gu Jingjun, “Why are you like this? You look so ugly. What’s bothering you? Tell mother and me, and we will ignore you. You made such a scene in front of your third sister-in-law. When you sober up tomorrow, you will have no face to see anyone.”

"Third brother, third brother, you just don't love me anymore."

Master Gu Liu had been weak when he was young and was raised by his brothers. Now that he was drunk, he was so shameless that even the servant who was supporting him was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to look up.

“You are just a jerk,” Gu Jinghui muttered, “I really want to give you a good beating. Remember this today and we’ll settle the score together later.”

"Third brother, please take care of me, please take care of me. I'm suffering so much. It's been a long time since you had a good conversation with me. Do you think I'm incompetent and useless?"

Before he knew it, Gu Jinghui had already been hugged tightly by Master Gu Liu.

"……you……"

Gu Jinghui said angrily, “Just wait here. I’ll send your sister-in-law back first, and then I’ll listen to what’s bothering you.”

Qin Yuan pulled Gu Jinghui's sleeve.

"how?"

Gu Jinghui turned around, his expression softened.

Qin Yuan whispered, "Sixth brother, if you are like this, I'm afraid you really have something on your mind that you can't get out of your mouth. Why don't you ask someone to help you go to Wutong Garden and ask him. This is already very close to Wutong Garden."

"Can……"

Gu Jinghui was reluctant, but then he changed his mind and thought, if he let that bastard Lao Liu wait here, who knows what kind of trouble he would cause.

"Okay, come with me to Wutong Garden. I want to hear about your troubles today."

Pulling Master Gu Liu away with disdain, Gu Jinghui said in a cold voice: "Let's go, be nice and behave yourself. If you act crazy and say nonsense in front of your sister-in-law, be careful or I'll beat you up."

Only then did Gu Liuye drool, and he helped the boy to stand up crookedly, and smiled with his eyes slanted: "Third brother, my good third brother, I will listen to you."

That gentle and graceful appearance was finally maintained, but with a bit of dandy and scoundrel look.

But it’s not ugly either.

Qin Yuan thought that all the sons of the Gu family were good-looking. It was no wonder that Aunt Zheng was so upset with Sixth Master Gu's appearance and wanted to commit suicide because of him.

I wonder if Mr. Gu Liu is worried about his facial injury and is stuck in the house with nowhere to go, or if he is worried about not having the money to redeem the Pipa girl?
I couldn't help but look at Master Gu Liu twice more.

Gu Jinghui grabbed her hand and said, "Ignore him, let's go and let him follow behind."

Qin Yuan chuckled and nodded.

Gu Jinghui then held Qin Yuan's hand and walked slowly in front. The servant supported Gu Jingjun and followed slowly behind.

Looking at the long shadows on the ground, so lingering and beautiful, Gu Jingjun couldn't help but shed tears.

It's embarrassing, but he really has a hard life.

Cui Ming and Hong Ye were waiting in the corridor with their eyes wide open. They had both learned their lesson and dared not talk anymore. However, they could not stay in the house and so they went outside to talk to a group of maids and old women.

Not long after, there was movement from the old women guarding the yard.

"It should be the Marquis and his wife who have returned."

The two of them stood on tiptoe, regretting that their sight could not penetrate the dim light of the evening. As they watched, the tall marquis finally appeared in their sight, holding a lamp in one hand and supporting the young lady with the other.

The Marquis is tall and handsome, while the young lady is petite and pretty, leaning against him.

Hongye whispered, "They are so loving."

Cui Ming didn't say anything, and suddenly asked: "Why, what's going on..."

Hongye also saw it and said hesitantly: "...Sixth Master...?"

The two of them went to meet him in confusion. Gu Jinghui said, “Take my wife back. Sixth Master and I will go sit in the hall. Come on…”

He paused and said impatiently, "Bring the tea."

Hongye quickly agreed, told the maid to prepare tea, took the sheep-horn lantern from Gu Jinghui, hung it in the corridor, and then returned to the main room.

Qin Yuan was talking to Cui Ming, and when she saw her come in, she asked, "Is Sixth Master okay?"

Hongye said, "It's OK, I'm just a little drunk. The Marquis and the Sixth Master are sitting in the hall. The maid has gone to make tea, so I came over to ask if you want some hangover soup."

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's prepare it."

Hongye went outside to call the maid to light the fire, so the cook wouldn't have to be bothered, as she could cook the soup herself.

Cui Ming asked: "How did Sixth Master get into this situation?"

Hongye is going to be disappointed again.

Although Hongye didn't mention it again, but when she saw him and the other person walking out hand in hand, her eyes were curved with smile.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence. Later, you go guard the door and tell the maids to stay away. The Marquis wants to have a private conversation with the Sixth Master. Don't let anyone overhear. Let Hongye come in and help me wash up."

Cui Ming nodded.

Hongye brought the wine-removing soup in. Gu Jingjun was crying to his good third brother: "... She was a shrewd and cunning girl in her mother's family. I was blind at the time and fell in love with her. I thought that if I married her, she would be able to manage the household and serve mother well... She couldn't even read a few words... There were many things I couldn't tell my mother and third brother. You just despised me for taking so many concubines. I also wanted to expand the Gu family. Mother always cried secretly at that time... I was young at that time... Third brother, just look at my face. She scratched me like this. I didn't dare to go out at all... I just wanted to redeem a Pipa girl, but she made a fuss... How can I live with her without them... Who can understand my difficulties..."

When Lord Gu saw Hongye bringing in the wine soup, he asked, "Did Madam ask you to bring this?"

Hongye hurriedly said, "My Lord, Madam said she was worried that Sixth Master might feel uncomfortable, so she asked me to make some hangover soup. It doesn't taste very good, so Sixth Master, just drink it."

Gu Jinghui glanced at the attentive Hong Ye and said, “Just put it down. You don’t need to come back to collect the bowl. Go back and tell Madam that the Sixth Master told me late and I have to go to the palace early tomorrow. Tell her to go to bed first and don’t have to wait for me.”

Lord Gu is taking the initiative.

Otherwise, when Gu Jingjun goes out later, he will see that the lights in the main room are off and start to wonder.

Mr. Gu Liu and Lin Ziqi are both gossipy.

Have to guard against it.
