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

Chapter 164 Mother Wants to Hold Her Grandson

Qin Yuan said: "I am just guessing, but if it is true, it will be troublesome."

If there is anything wrong with Imperial Physician Liu, it will be difficult to eradicate the smallpox in the mansion.

Moreover, who instructed him to do so?

Gu Jinghui immediately said, “Yuan’er said that there is something wrong with this Imperial Doctor Liu, so there must be something wrong with him. I will order people to pay more attention to him.”

He had previously left a group of people outside the mansion to take orders at any time. All they had to do was pass on the message if they wanted to do anything.

What's more, there are still useful guards left in the mansion.

Before, we rarely went out because of the prevention of smallpox.

It's not difficult to keep an eye on Doctor Liu. Just let them take turns to watch over him.

Qin Yuan added: "I want to send a message to Doctor Li of Renhe Hall. If he can help, then everything will be fine."

Gu Jinghui pondered and said, “Is he…is he willing?”

Smallpox is nothing else.

Otherwise, he would not have valued Doctor Liu so much. If this incident had not happened, after opening the government office, he would have regarded Doctor Liu as his brother for life and death.

Qin Yuan said: "How can we know if we don't try? Besides, there must be brave men under a big reward. Doctor Li is a man of superb medical skills and a kind heart."

Gu Jinghui thought for a moment and said, “Well, as long as he is willing to risk his life to come, no matter what the outcome, I will give him 1,200 silver coins.”

Hongye looked at Lord Gu in surprise.

I have to say that Lord Gu is very efficient and generous in his actions.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "With my husband's words, I feel more confident."

She took out the written letter, opened it, filled in a few words, and after drying it, she handed it to Gu Jinghui and said, "My husband, ask someone to deliver this letter to Renhe Hall. Our mansion is sealed and people can only enter but not leave. If he wants to come, no one else can say anything."

Gu Jinghui said: "Okay, Madam, just listen to the good news."

Qin Yuan and Gu Jinghui had dinner together. After the meal, news came from Doctor Li that he needed to prepare some medicine and would come when it was ready.

Gu Jinghui was overjoyed when he heard this and said, “That’s great. With him here, Imperial Doctor Liu will have to be more restrained no matter what he means.”

Gu Shiba brought people to guard outside and do things for him.

Gu Shiliu had nothing to do, so he stayed beside him. Lord Gu ordered him to take people to keep an eye on Doctor Liu.

Gu Jinghui asked again: "Madam, is there anything else you want to arrange?"

Qin Yuan said, "I heard from Xiaohong that Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er were very nervous in the upper room. Doctor Liu had repeatedly asked to check the pulse of mother and them, saying that women and children are weak and need to be on guard all the time. I have seldom been to the upper room these days. They are both young, and they know that this smallpox outbreak is related to Madam Zhao, so they can't help but think too much. They also asked Xiaohong if they would be thrown away and left to die if they got smallpox. It's no use what mother said. You decide how to comfort them."

Speaking of the two children, Gu Jinghui's smile disappeared.

These days, he has come to his senses. If he had not listened to Qin Yuan when dealing with this matter, and had concealed the matter as usual for the sake of the two children, he didn't know what would have become of the Marquis' Mansion and the capital.

The people he left outside were still looking for Xu Zhen and Zhao, and were also paying attention to the smallpox situation in the capital.

Until now, no one has been found.

Fortunately, there seemed to be no news of smallpox in the capital.

While feeling thankful, he also didn't want to see the two children. After the incident was reported to the authorities, the identities of the two children became awkward.

Although Pang Hai's origins remain a mystery and Zhao's behavior is cruel, he is indeed grateful to Pang Hai for saving his life and he truly hopes that the two children can live a good life.

But how could he tell these two children?

Gu Jinghui sighed and said, “Yuan’er, I know they have offended you a lot. It’s not easy for you to still think about them in every way. But I… I really don’t know how to tell them.”

He doesn't like lying.

After such a commotion, Cheng Ge'er would definitely not be able to enter the Imperial College through the help of the King of Qi. Even if he got help from the King of Qi, he would inevitably be brought up by others in the future.

What's more, it is difficult to say what the King of Qi has in mind for the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion.

"They've been through a lot these days. First they found out their biological father was someone else, then they found out their biological father's identity was a mystery, and then their mother did something that angered everyone. At such a young age, it's inevitable that they're a little flustered, but I can't fulfill my previous promise to them, ah..."

Gu Jinghui's rebellious face was tinged with sorrow. The woman surnamed Zhao was really crazy. She did whatever she wanted, jumping up and down, and didn't even consider the child.

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "If the Marquis is talking about letting Cheng go to the Imperial College, then that's fine. I've already told Cheng that with what he's learning now, even if he enters the Imperial College's elementary school, I'm afraid he won't be able to learn anything. He still needs to hire a teacher to teach him, and then I'll slowly tell them when the time is right. They don't understand their situation now, but they will understand it naturally in the future. But we have to make it clear what needs to be said, and we can't hide it from them, lest they hear some nonsense and have wild thoughts."

Gu Jinghui nodded.

Qin Yuan added: "The Marquis is grateful for their father's kindness and wants to protect them until they grow up. This is not difficult. You promised their father, so you should do it in the future. However, their father's identity is questionable, and their mother did such a thing. It may be difficult for them to become an official. But the future is unknown. Cheng Ge'er should study and understand reason first. He will be useful in the future. There is nothing he can't do to make a living."

Gu Jinghui was convinced and said, “As Yuan’er said, we should do our best and leave the rest to fate. I will take care of these two children. They will grow up well and have a good future.”

Qin Yuan said: "Then you should go to the upper room and talk to them, so as not to worry about getting sick and disturbing your mother."

Gu Jinghui took Qin Yuan’s hand and said softly, “How about you come with me?”

Qin Yuan shook her head and said, "Forget it. I'm afraid they don't want to see me right now. Without me, they will feel more comfortable and will be more likely to listen to what you say."

To resolve Lord Gu's knot does not mean that she has to take responsibility for the affairs of these two children.

Gu Jinghui sighed.

He stood up and said, "Then I'll take you back to Wutong Garden first."

Qin Yuan followed him out the door, and Gu Jinghui held her hand again and said, “Walk slowly, we just had dinner.”

Master Gu Liu, who was in a daze outside, looked at them enviously and said, "Third brother and sister-in-law have already eaten? Are they going to Wutong Garden?"

Gu Jinghui coughed lightly and said, "I'll have dinner with your sister-in-law. You're also like this. Don't I usually have dinner with you? I'll go to the upper room to talk to Cheng Ge'er and send your sister-in-law back."

Master Gu Liu: “…”

He didn't say anything. What happened to him?

However, he was still very happy that his third brother still lived in the outer courtyard to accompany him.

Gu Jinghui held Qin Yuan's hand and walked slowly.

Everyone who was not on duty in the mansion hid in the house. Not many people were walking around. The chirping of night insects became louder, and the evening breeze blew gently, which was very comfortable.

Gu Jinghui said softly: “Yuan’er, mother has always wanted to have a grandson. How about we consummate the marriage after we open the mansion?”
