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

Chapter 14 I'm going to see my mother-in-law again

Compared with Lin's mother in the previous life, Old Madam Gu is the best mother-in-law.

Qin Yuan smiled intimately and said, "Yuan'er spent the last half day sorting out her dowry. She wanted to take over Wutong Garden in the afternoon, but the Marquis was not here, and Yuan'er had nothing to do, so she came to talk to her mother."

She was good-looking and had a soft voice, and the word "mother" made Old Madam Gu soften her heart.

Old Madam Gu gave birth to four sons in a row, so she was quite fond of her little one, otherwise she would not have doted on the Seventh Miss born to Madam Wen.

Qiuju smiled, knowing that the new marquis' wife had caught the old lady's eye.

As expected, Madam Gu pulled her to sit beside her and said, "Then I will chat with you. You just arrived at the Marquis' Mansion and you are completely in the dark. You don't even know which way the door opens."

In her previous life, Qin Yuan rose from the wife of a minor official to the wife of a prime minister. She had seen everything. She was humorous and well-versed in human relations. In a short while, she made Old Madam Gu smile and felt that she had a similar temperament to her.

If it weren't for the age and seniority difference, it is very likely that Madam Gu and Qin Yuan would become close friends on the spot.

After a while, Aunt Rong came in.

Madam Gu asked, "Where were you just now, old man? I was just saying I wanted to show Yuan'er the fans I collected, where did you put them?"

Rong Mama responded, and after a while she came back and said, "Old Madam, go and see if they are those. There are too many things, and I am a little confused."

Qin Yuan knew in her heart that Aunt Rong had something to say to Old Madam Gu.

Old Madam Gu asked someone to call back the maid who had taken the dog out for a walk, and asked Qin Yuan to wait and take a good look at the lion dog.

Qin Yuan agreed.

Only then did Old Madam Gu follow Aunt Rong to the side room.

When Old Madam Gu came back, there was a bit more pity in her eyes when she looked at Qin Yuan.

"Yuan'er, when you return home tomorrow, have you decided what to wear?"

Qin Yuan noticed all the changes in Madam Gu, and knew that her mother-in-law wanted to compensate the Marquis for ignoring her. She smiled and said, "Just wear the shirt I made at my mother's house when you go back. There's no need to be too ostentatious."

Madam Gu was even more sympathetic and asked, "How can that be possible?"

Qin Yuan asked helplessly, "Do I have to dress very formally? Yuan'er is young and might act inappropriately. Mother, please help me make the decision. Yuan'er will listen to you and will never bring shame to the Marquis' Mansion."

Madam Gu looked Qin Yuan up and down with a smile, clapped her hands and said, "You are a blessed child. In the past, I got a set of gowns and shawls, but because I was old and had nowhere to wear them, I kept them. It turned out that they were prepared just for you."

Rong Mama came in with a tray with a few fans on it. She said, "I have always felt it was a pity, but I didn't expect it was prepared for Madam. It turns out that this is fate. Madam has fair skin, which is just right for her."

Old Madam Gu laughed heartily.

Qiu Ju also joined in the fun: "This is the destined relationship between the old lady and the lady, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

Madam Gu said happily, "Go get it out quickly and let Yuan'er try it on."

Qin Yuan's face turned red, making her look even more obedient.

The clothes were brought and Qin Yuan was pushed to change clothes.

Aunt Rong whispered, "Madam is really liked by the old lady."

If it's just to compensate my wife, adding a little more gift when returning home would be enough.

Madam Gu nodded and said, "Yuan'er is a well-behaved child. Every word she says touches my heart. She is a concubine's daughter in her natal family, and her marriage was forced. She was ignored by the Marquis when she entered the mansion. If I don't love her a little, who else will love her?" Aunt Rong sighed, "The Marquis is wise and brave on the battlefield, but he is very confused about these matters in the inner house."

After a while, Qin Yuan changed into new clothes and came out.

The vermilion gauze shirt was embroidered with intricate patterns in gold thread, which set off Qin Yuan's jade-white and clear face, making it look bright and charming. The stone-blue shawl added a touch of richness and elegance to this delicate and bright face, making Qin Yuan's beauty so dazzling that she stood out from the crowd.

Old Madam Gu couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"Why is this daughter-in-law so beautiful? Is Brother Hui blind?"

Qin Yuan was also a connoisseur of valuables. This set of clothes was too precious and it was probably impossible to find it even if one had money. He also didn't know how Madam Gu got it.

"Too expensive," Qin Yuan said with a red face, "This gauze shirt is as light as a feather. Wearing it will make you feel cool even in the hot summer, giving you a feeling of having cool skin and no sweat. The embroidery pattern is also embroidered by a master of Suzhou embroidery. It is not only beautiful, but also forms a picture with every move of the person. Such a set should be kept as a family heirloom. How can I bear to wear it back home?"

When she heard Qin Yuan tasting the food, Madam Gu's face became brighter and brighter.

Good things should be tasted with people who know the subject.

If an ignorant person only knows that something looks good or is expensive, but does not know what makes it good or expensive.

That's not the same as winking at a blind man.

Madam Gu felt that Qin Yuan was to her liking, and said quickly, "Such a good thing cannot be kept in a box without seeing the light of day. A woman only has a few good days in her life, and if she doesn't have good clothes for those good days, it will always be a pity. Yuan'er, you can wear this when you go back home."

Qin Yuan had no choice but to accept it.

Madam Gu talked to her about the fan for a while, and she felt that she had found a soulmate, so she said to her, "Wutong Garden is where you live, so you should take charge of it as soon as possible. The Dingbei Marquis Mansion has been passed down for several generations, and most of the people in the mansion are from other families, with complicated connections. If you are weak, they will bully the master. Let Rong Mama accompany you to take over Wutong Garden later, and by the way, teach those servants a lesson, and don't let any cats and dogs into the courtyard to make them bark."

Qin Yuan's eyes turned red, and she couldn't help but hug Madam Gu and act coquettishly, saying, "Mother, you are so good to Yuan'er. Yuan'er feels that you are Yuan'er's biological mother."

She said this from the bottom of her heart.

Aunt Chen died early, her stepmother Cui only wanted to suppress her, and her mother-in-law in her previous life was only interested in torturing her.

Qin Yuan didn't expect that she could be loved by a female elder.

How happy she would be if Old Madam Gu was her biological mother.

Madam Gu's body stiffened for a moment, then she stroked her head gently and said lovingly, "Am I not your mother, silly child?"

Qin Yuan burst into laughter and said, "Yes, you are my mother."

Seeing the beauty with tears in her eyes, Madam Gu wanted to protect her even more.

On the way back to Wutong Garden with Qin Yuan, Aunt Rong got a lot of information from Hongye and Cuiming. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Fortunately, the lady had a good temper. If she had a bad temper, who knows what would have happened.

I don’t know what the Marquis is thinking.

The Sixth Master is younger than the Marquis, and his children are studying in the outer dormitory of the Imperial Academy Primary School. The Marquis is almost thirty years old. When will he have a legitimate son?

Madam Rong was determined to help Qin Yuan secure the fence of Wutong Garden.

Madam Zhao can send a maid to break into the lady's yard and shout to ask the Marquis to leave. Wutong Garden needs to be cleaned up.
