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

Chapter 146: What a Beautiful Couple

Qin Yuan glanced at Master Gu Liu.

Gu Liuye blushed and said, "Brother-in-law, don't ask Third Sister-in-law for this matter. I will ask for you."

Qin Yuan looked at Lord Xu's expression again.

She didn't know where Xu Zhen was now, but she knew very well why Xu Zhen went to Yuyuantan. She just didn't know whether the Xu family knew it.

I don’t even know whether the Xu family is willing to know.

The flesh on the right side of Lord Xu's face bulged, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Master Gu Liu for jumping out to take on the job.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Sixth brother and his wife are husband and wife, so it is natural that Sixth brother should go."

After that, he said to Lord Xu, "The Xu family might as well send someone to go with my sixth brother."

Lord Xu was stunned.

Gu Jinghui said, “Yes, Madam is right. The Xu family should also send someone to go with my sixth brother, but I don’t know who to choose.”

After saying this, he stared at Lord Xu closely.

Lord Xu's eyes wandered.

Master Gu Liu said, "Brother-in-law, why don't you come with me?"

Lord Xu waved his hands hurriedly and said, "It's no big deal for a man like me to follow you to the inner courtyard. Even if she is my own sister, I still have to avoid suspicion. Why don't we..."

Lord Xu looked at the women of the Xu family.

All the women lowered their heads.

Lord Xu hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said, "Let Xu Yuan go with you. She likes to play with swords and sticks when she has nothing to do. She is in good health."

Following Lord Xu's line of sight, Qin Yuan saw a little girl with dark skin and double buns in the crowd. She looked about the same age as Xu Zhen, but the clothes she wore were much worse than Xu Zhen's.

The little girl shook her head hurriedly.

"Uncle, why did you ask my sister to go and ask about Xu Zhen?"

A man in blue shorts stood out from the crowd and glared at Lord Xu fiercely.

Lord Xu sighed and said nothing.

The old woman who was making a fuss on the ground spoke up: "Xu Tang, you ungrateful bastard, if it weren't for your uncle raising you all these years, you would have starved to death. If we tell you to go, just go quickly. You and your brother owe us this."

Master Gu Liu frowned in disgust.

Xu Tang also refused to let her go, saying, "If my father hadn't given the title to my uncle, we wouldn't have to eat for free at my uncle's house."

The old woman sat on the ground again, howling.

He cursed and listed the bad deeds the brother and sister had done since they were young.

Qin Yuan: “…”

Xu Tang just looked at the old woman coldly.

Xu Yuan bit his lower lip tightly and shed tears sadly.

Gu Jinghui frowned and said, “Master Xu, please settle down quickly. I advise you not to stay in the Marquis’ Mansion for too long.”

Lord Xu frowned and looked at Xu Tang, who looked back at him nonchalantly. Xu Yuan stood huddled in the crowd, as if she was about to faint at the next moment. Several elderly women around her were still pushing her, as if they wanted to push her out.

Qin Yuan curled her lips and thought to herself, this Xu family is really lively.

Xu Tang suddenly said, "Xu Yuan is not okay. If Xu Yuan goes, I'm afraid I will immediately drive him away. If it's someone else, I'll keep him for a few days to see."

Xu Yuan immediately shrank back again.

Master Gu Liu sighed and said, "Brother-in-law, you should come with me. If you are afraid of contracting smallpox, you should not step into this mansion."

Lord Xu said angrily, "Who told the servants in the Marquis' Mansion to not be able to finish their sentences?" Lord Gu Liu retorted, "You should also let people finish their sentences."

Gu Jinghui said in a cold voice, "Who will Lord Xu choose?"

If you are so afraid of death, why live?
Lord Xu remained silent.

In the end, the old woman chose the eldest daughter-in-law to follow Master Gu Liu, cursing.

The eldest daughter-in-law was trembling all over as if she had the hiccups. She lowered her head and resigned herself to following Master Gu Liu out of the hall.

Hongye muttered quietly, "My God, the Xu family is really amazing."

Qin Yuan said nothing.

Mr. Gu Liu was right, the Xu family was indeed a ruined family.

She had seen people like this many times in her previous life.

When everyone left, the hall became noisy again. Qin Yuan frowned in annoyance, and Gu Jinghui asked: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Qin Yuan shook his head and asked after a while, "Did you send someone to deliver the letter to the Qin Mansion?"

Gu Jinghui said: "Yes, I have asked the servants to deliver the letters."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Now Qin Heng can't come to you to ride a horse again, so he will definitely complain."

Gu Jinghui also laughed.

The two of them were talking quietly, their eyes and brows were gentle, and they looked very harmonious. They were really a perfect couple.

The Xu family wanted to go up and talk, but they were inexplicably timid and could only watch with envy in the end.

After a while, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family returned with Mr. Gu Liu.

Gu Liuye said, "Xu said that Zhenjie heard that I was going to Yuyuantan to form a society, so she wanted to follow me."

Lord Xu said angrily: "This is impossible. How could my sister say that?"

Gu Liuye said, "I asked you to go but you didn't go. There's a wall between us. That's what Xu said. If you don't believe me, just ask your eldest daughter-in-law."

Mr. Gu Liu was very annoyed by the Xu family and his tone was not very good.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family stood alone in a corner. Upon hearing this, she nodded quickly, her voice as soft as a mosquito: "Yes."

Lord Xu's face was as dark as a dark cloud pressing down on his head.

The old woman cried again, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it. Sister Zhen has always been well-behaved. Why would she secretly follow you to Yuyuantan? Could it be that you saw that my sister Zhen is pretty and had some bad thoughts?"

Master Gu Liu: “…”

Gu Jinghui was shocked by these words and was speechless for a long time.

The Xu family members did not take it seriously, but echoed, "Yes, I heard that Master Gu is very romantic, with seven or eight concubines. Maybe he was attracted by Sister Zhen's youth and beauty, so he had evil thoughts."

Master Gu Liu said angrily, "Xu Zhen is not as pretty as me, how can I look at her with my eyes? Which concubine in my courtyard is not better than her?"

The Xu family member asked angrily, "You dare to do it but you don't dare to admit it?"

Gu Liuye was so angry that he was about to explode. He couldn't help but curse, "Xu is such a jinx. I told you long ago not to let her interfere in Xu Zhen's marriage, but she insisted on making trouble. To tell you the truth, your sister Zhen was thinking of ways to marry a Jinshi and become his wife. She heard that I was going to form a society with a few scholars at Yuyuantan that day, so she sneaked out early in the morning, hoping to meet me at Yuyuantan by chance and catch a rich husband, but I don't know where she went wrong."

"You're talking nonsense," Lord Xu stood up tremblingly and stretched out his hand to slap Master Gu Liu in the face, but was stopped by Butler Cao, who coaxed him, "Master Liu is only saying this because you guys are forcing him into a corner."

Lord Xu stamped his feet and said, "My daughter has been ruined by your nonsense. How can she get married in the future?"

Qin Yuan sighed and said, "If the Xu family cared about Sister Zhen's reputation, they shouldn't have come to the Marquis' Mansion and made a scene. If this scene got out, what kind of reputation would Sister Zhen have? She hasn't even found the person yet, and her reputation has been ruined."

Lord Xu snorted and said nothing.

Qin Yuan added, "Just now you kept saying that Sixth Brother had evil intentions towards Xu Zhen. Isn't this also ruining Sister Zhen's reputation? What's more, Sixth Brother was with my cousin yesterday."
