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

Chapter 136 Vicious

Gu Jinghui had been busy all day, first looking for people everywhere, and then dealing with the prosecutor, coroner and constable who came to investigate the case. He was too busy to handle everything, so he had to send someone to ask for leave from the Ninth Princess again.

He exuded a dark and cold aura, and anyone with eyes could tell that he was in a bad mood. But Gu Jingjun, who had disappeared for a day, happened to bump into him at this time.

Gu Shiba couldn't help but worry for Master Gu Liu.

Gu Jinghui asked: "Where did you meet that woman?"

"On Hengjie Avenue, at the intersection not far from the Qin Mansion, I saw her in the car at the time. She was sneaking around and I didn't know who she was hiding from. I asked the driver to stop the car, and she disappeared in a blink of an eye. At the time, I thought I was seeing things."

Gu Jinghui glanced at Gu Shiba, who immediately went out and told everyone to look for someone near Hengjie Avenue.

Gu Jinghui finally had the energy to ask Master Gu Liu, "How can you remember her so clearly, even though she's just a maid?"

"My third brother's adopted son had a fight with my two younger sons. They started crying when they couldn't win, so I had no choice but to take them to ask for an explanation. That woman was very annoying, and I took note of it after so many times."

Gu Jinghui: “…”

It seems that Madam Zhao really did not teach these two children well.

Gu Jinghui sighed.

Master Gu Liu asked: "Third brother, what exactly is going on?"

"What's going on?" Gu Jinghui said coldly, "Why did you run out so early in the morning?"

Gu Liuye happily shared his good mood with his good third brother: "I went to Yuyuantan with my third sister-in-law's cousin and brother-in-law. Mr. Lin started a poetry club. We wrote poems at Diaoyutai and met the Minister of Rites and the Academician."

Gu Jinghui was not interested in poetry or anything else.

However, he was a little concerned about the two people that Mr. Gu Liu was dating, so he listened in silence.

"Third brother, I thought Mr. Lin was very talented, but I didn't expect that Brother Siyuan is even more talented. He writes good poems and is a good person. He also encourages me to study hard and teaches me how to write couplets. Today I wrote a lot of poems in one breath. Compared with the past, it is really a world of difference. What I wrote before was not called poetry, it was just bullshit."

"Moreover, Brother Siyuan is upright and gentlemanly. Mr. Lin told me that my third sister-in-law is very talented... but Brother Siyuan stopped us, saying that it was impolite for us to talk about women outside. The Qin family is indeed different from the people I have met before."

After saying that, Gu Jingjun glanced at Gu Jinghui with envy.

"What brother Siyuan? He is your sister-in-law's cousin. I have to call him brother, and you have to follow me."

Gu Jingjun twisted his body unhappily and said, “Let’s talk about our own things. I called him my dear brother, and he agreed to it.”

Since his third sister-in-law was so young, it was really a disadvantage for him to follow her.

"You should spend more time with Qin Siyuan in the future. People like him can teach you things and help you learn well. That Lin Ziqi is not a good person."

Gu Jingjun glanced at his third brother with complicated eyes.

He also guessed the reason why Third Brother didn't like Lin Ziqi...

Okay, then I’ll listen to Third Brother.

Gu Jinghui continued, “Mother is always thinking about you. You went out to form a poetry club early in the morning. You didn’t care about your two children who had smallpox. Your sister-in-law was busy taking care of the children and couldn’t leave. Mother told her to let her hand over the household chores to your third sister-in-law.”

Mr. Gu Liu was stunned.

"Two children have pox?"

"Well, my two little nieces born to my sister-in-law and Aunt Huang got the smallpox one after another this morning. My sixth sister-in-law has already invited the Smallpox Goddess to clean the house. You can live in the outer courtyard."

Mr. Gu Liu hurriedly thought about whether he had been close to his two daughters in the past two days.

"Okay, then Third Brother, let's live together in the outer courtyard." "Your Third Sister-in-law is too clingy, I can't leave," Gu Jinghui showed a look of disdain and impatience on his face, "You are so old, but you are still so clingy."

"You actually dislike your third sister-in-law?" Mr. Gu Liu cried out in sadness and surprise.

It's really confusing.

“I dislike you,” Gu Jinghui said without any regard for his brother’s feelings.

After Master Gu Liu barely put his broken heart together, Gu Jinghui whispered, “When the nieces have recovered from the acne, go back and talk to your sixth sister-in-law. I’m a little unhappy that she’s always making trouble.”

Gu Liuye was startled, opened his beautiful peach blossom eyes wide, and asked dreamily: "Third brother, but what did she do?"

“Sixth Brother, you should strive to be better in the future,” Gu Jinghui sighed.

He could see clearly that Madam Gu Liu did not take Gu Jingjun seriously by doing this.

Mr. Gu Liu was stunned.

The third brother was moving here and there, making people very confused.

Gu Jinghui simply opened up, “Sixth brother’s wife had a rift with your third sister-in-law over her niece’s marriage, and she went to Madam Zhao and told her all sorts of nonsense. Madam Zhao was originally recovering from her illness, and she probably heard that I sent people to Pang Hai’s house to look for someone, so she sent those two maids to get information everywhere, and the maid guarding the second gate saw it.”

"This woman," Master Gu Liu clenched his fists angrily.

No one told Madam Zhao about this, but Sixth Madam Gu got involved to cause trouble.

Gu Jinghui added, “There is one more thing I am afraid I have let you down. Someone saw those two maids wandering around your courtyard. The two children are strangely ill. Eighteen said it looked like the symptoms were from the northern frontier. They are very severe. I am afraid it is smallpox. No one in the mansion has ever been infected with smallpox, and it has never been heard of in the capital.”

"This... smallpox..." Gu Liuye was so shocked that he couldn't speak: "Third brother, who is Madam Zhao?"

It's cruel to act like this.

Ordinary women really can't do this.

Gu Jinghui said dejectedly: “Only when we catch that woman can we find out what’s going on.”

After a pause, he continued, "This is almost certain. Xiaohong asked Yujie and she said that the maid who took care of her always had a small box and didn't let her touch it, saying that if she opened it, someone would die."

In Wutong Garden, Qin Yuan also got the news.

Hongye said, "The old lady was very frightened. She quickly asked someone to search the box. Inside were some tattered clothes with blood stains and stinking smell. I'm afraid they were used by patients with smallpox. Zihe had pox in the afternoon. The old lady has asked someone to invite the imperial physician to come and check it out."

This is really cruel.

Qin Yuan frowned, totally confused as to why Madam Zhao suddenly behaved like this.

Is it because the Marquis invited the Pang family to come to the capital that he hates the Dingbei Marquis Mansion?

Or must it be that Madam Gu Liu said something to Madam Zhao that irritated her to such an extent that she didn't even care about the child's situation.

Qin Yuan walked to the desk, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, wrote a few lines, handed it to Hongye, and said, "Go find Shen Changle quickly and ask him to go to Ranxiangju to get incense according to this. Then go to Renhetang and tell Doctor Li that someone in Dingbei Marquis's mansion has smallpox. It seems to have come from Saibei. See if he has a way to prevent it from spreading."

It would be troublesome if smallpox spread outside Dingbei Houfu.

Hongye hurried to find Shen Changle.

Qin Yuan paced around the room, thinking carefully about what to do next.

Madam Gu Liu might not be willing to come out to manage affairs at this moment, but this is a great opportunity for her.
