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

Chapter 143 Not easy to mess with

"Why is it difficult to mess with?"

Qin Yuan raised her eyes and asked Hongye who looked anxious, tapping her small hands lightly on the table, her eyes slightly raised, as if she didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Hongye said, "I heard that the Xu family was originally a military family, but it is not as hereditary as our Marquis's Mansion. The Xu family's titles have been downgraded from generation to generation. By the time of Miss Zhen's generation, there is no title to inherit. The Xu family lives a poor life, and they are particularly good at giving birth to children. There are many formal masters, but not many of them have a good job. They are idle on weekdays. Some of the Xu family members make money by matching people to fight crickets and cocks. The Sixth Master usually avoids them and despises them for being a poor family. It is said that the Sixth Madam secretly subsidized the Xu family a lot, and the old lady turned a blind eye. If such a family comes to make trouble, they will definitely cut a piece of meat from the Marquis' Mansion to be satisfied."

Qin Yuan said calmly: "Oh?"

Hongye added: "Why should Miss deal with the things that Sixth Madam caused? If she fails to deal with them well, it will be a loss for both sides."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "You are right, but the Sixth Madam cannot see guests now. Mother is old, and I am the mistress of the house now, so I have to deal with it."

Hongye couldn't help but complain: "My Lord, what a jerk! Sixth Lord said that the Xu family is not easy to mess with, but he's just saying something and you're going to get ahead..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard the little maid say in the corridor: "Greetings to the Marquis."

Then Gu Jinghui's cold voice came in, "Everyone, leave."

The red leaves are silent.

Qin Yuan looked at Hongye speechlessly.

Why is it that this girl always gets caught when she speaks ill of Lord Gu behind his back?

Before Qin Yuan had time to stand up to greet them, Gu Jinghui had already come in through the curtains. His handsome face was covered with dark clouds, and he asked her, "Yuan'er, if someone from the Xu family really comes to cause trouble, how are you going to deal with it?"

Hongye quickly shrank behind Qin Yuan.

It was obvious that Gu Jinghui had heard the complaint just now.

Qin Yuan smiled and walked over to him, pulling Gu Jinghui's sleeve, and said slowly, "If the Xu family comes to make trouble at this time, it will be troublesome if they get smallpox, husband, what do you think?"

Gu Jinghui was stunned for a moment before asking, “Yuan’er, do you think the Xu family won’t come and cause trouble?”

Qin Yuan said: "Looking at the Xu family's attitude, I'm afraid they will come. But I think, instead of asking me to pass the message in the middle, wouldn't it be better to ask the Xu family to go to the courtyard of Sixth Brother's wife and ask her in person?"

Hongye laughed out loud, then quickly stopped laughing.

Meeting Qin Yuan's cunning gaze, Gu Jinghui's lips curled up, then quickly straightened and said in a deep voice: "Everything is up to you. If the Xu family is difficult to deal with, you don't have to give them too much face. Sixth brother should also take care of things."

The implication is that he wants to use this opportunity to give Mr. Gu Liu a good lesson.

Qin Yuan asked, "My husband, are you planning to let my sixth brother deal with the male guests from the Xu family?"

Lord Gu nodded.

Qin Yuan said: "Yuan'er is afraid that Sixth Brother can't handle it alone."

Lord Gu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

Qin Yuan said, "The Marquis has been in the northern frontier for many years, and there is not much networking in the Marquis' Mansion. Sixth brother usually only associates with scholars who have no achievements. You also despise him for not being able to control Sixth brother's wife. How can he be a match for the Xu family who have been hanging around in the market for many years?"

After hearing this, Lord Gu frowned.

Qin Yuan stopped there and just told the maid to come and make some medicinal tea. She brought it to Gu Jinghui and said softly, "My dear, this is the medicinal tea I prepared according to the prescription. Drinking it regularly can prevent diseases."

Lord Gu looked at Qin Yuan with pleasure.

At this time, she was facing away from the window, and the cute little mole on the tip of her nose was particularly obvious. Lord Gu couldn't help but move his Adam's apple slightly, and moved his fingers slightly, wanting to gently touch the little mole, but in the end he put away his distracted thoughts, silently and comfortably accepted the concern of his little wife, and slowly drank tea. After putting down the teacup, he slowly said: "Yuan'er is right. I have been in Saibei all year round, and I don't know much about family affairs. After returning from Saibei, I don't stay at home much. I just think that Sixth Brother often complains about the hard life because he is not motivated. He is always indulging in love and only wants to marry a concubine. He can't control Sixth Brother's wife, but he didn't think about these."

Qin Yuan was a little surprised.

During the time they were together, she also had a general understanding of his personality.

Lord Gu was born into a wealthy family, but he had lofty ambitions. His family had high expectations of him and doted on him, which inevitably led to his willful character. The deaths of his father and brothers made him famous as a god of war, but also made him cold and tough.

He just wondered why Mr. Gu Liu couldn't do what he could do.

If he is determined enough to push himself, Mr. Gu Liu will definitely be able to do it.

But Mr. Gu Liu is not Mr. Gu Hou.

Qin Yuan raised her eyebrows and smiled softly, saying, "My husband, my sixth brother cannot go to the battlefield, and he has no achievements. You have been away from home in the northern frontier for many years, and mother only hopes that the bloodline of the Gu family can continue."

If anything happens to Lord Gu in the northern frontier, the Gu family will only have Lord Gu Liu left. He is in poor health, so Old Madam Gu naturally doesn't dare to urge or force him. Over time, he has developed this kind of temper.

Gu Jinghui understood her unspoken intention and said with a sigh, “Okay, I will find a way to help Sixth Brother.”

It was getting hot outside, and Master Gu Liu had returned to the house to study hard. He had been familiar with the book in his hands when he was young, but reading it now felt very different.

Master Gu Liu sighed, "The saints said to choose friends carefully. Qin Siyuan and I have only been friends for a short time, but it is better than being friends with others for many years."

The servant said, "Sixth Master, the Marquis invites you to come over and have dinner with him."

"Third brother asked me to have dinner with you?"

Mr. Gu Liu put down the pen in his hand in surprise and smiled happily.

The servant said, "Yes, Master Liu finally saw the light after waiting for so long."

“You should read more books instead of talking nonsense all day long.” Without bothering to say anything to him, Master Gu Liu rushed to the hall. Gu Jinghui was already sitting there waiting for him, with no expression on his stern face.

"Third brother."

Master Gu Liu called out respectfully.

After he sat down, Lord Gu's sharp eyebrows softened rarely, and he pushed the teacup on the table with his fingers and said, "Drink it."

Mr. Gu Liu was puzzled.

"This is the medicinal tea your sister-in-law gave me. She said it was made with a recipe from Renhetang. Drinking it can prevent disease."

Gu Liuye grew up taking medicine, and after his condition gradually improved, he would not take medicine if he could. Seeing that his third brother treated him like this, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll drink it."

He slowly drank the medicinal tea under the gaze of Lord Gu, and said with a bitter face: "Third brother is so lucky, Third sister-in-law is so kind to you, this medicinal tea is not very bad to drink."

Gu Jinghui pushed the candied fruit box next to him and said, "Eat this."

Gu Liuye's eyes immediately turned red, and he whispered, "Third brother still remembers that I loved to eat this when I was a child."

"Why can't you remember this?" Gu Jinghui said, "Eat quickly. After dinner, you can discuss with Butler Cao and Butler Han about how you will respond if the Xu family comes to cause trouble."

Mr. Gu Liu immediately felt that the licorice apricot in his mouth no longer had a fragrant taste.
