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

Chapter 191: Winged Horse

Lord Gu said calmly: "I can't hide anything from you."

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, then straightened again.

After reading the precious book written by Brigadier General Jin, Lord Gu realized that one should use sweet words to please a woman, and also be distant yet close at the same time, playing hard to get.

So, at this moment he was not as passionate as he was in the morning.

Qin Yuan has always known that Lord Gu has some problems, but she doesn't care and continues to ask: "My husband, have you received any news, or do you have any plans?"

"The prosecutor of Jingzhao Yinfu and the guards outside have checked the area around Yuyuantan. No one saw a woman like Xu Zhen in Yuyuantan that day."

Qin Yuan was surprised. "This means that Sister Zhen may not have been to Yuyuantan at all? Then where did she go?"

This is the emperor's feet.

A bright world.

Sister Zhen was murdered as soon as she left the Marquis' Mansion?

She really couldn't believe it.

Before she reached the age of 15, she, Hongye and Cuiming often went to the West Market and the East Market to buy and trade things, but nothing happened.

Lord Gu frowned and said, "Who knows? People leave their names behind, and wild geese leave their voices behind. She didn't leave any news at all, which is a bit complicated. I suspect that she was implicated by the Dingbei Marquis Mansion. But I can't say that. You saw how the Xu family looked that day. If they wait until the mansion is opened, I don't know what kind of trouble they will cause."

Qin Yuan understood.

Lord Gu is worried that something might happen to the Sixth Madam.

Qin Yuan said, "Sixth brother and Sixth sister-in-law have always been at odds. The Xu family came and made a big scene. Sixth brother might be a little dissatisfied with Sixth sister-in-law. Yesterday, I followed Doctor Li to Sixth sister-in-law's yard. Sixth sister-in-law has been worrying a lot these days and has been a little obsessed. But she just can't listen to Doctor Li's words. Doctor Li said that if she keeps doing this, she might develop a stubborn disease."

Gu Jinghui sighed, "It would be great if my sixth brother's wife was like you."

His young wife was the kindest, most open-minded and most intelligent woman he had ever met in the world.

For a moment, Gu Jinghui felt a little proud again.

Qin Yuan said: "The Xu family will naturally not let this go. The Sixth Madam originally planned for her natal family, but now she is caught between her husband's family and her natal family. She is not a good person on both sides, and her child is sick and is locked in the courtyard. It is inevitable that she will be depressed."

Gu Jinghui said, “If you go to comfort Sixth Brother’s wife, I’m afraid she won’t appreciate it. But there’s no reason for mother to take this risk, and I certainly can’t do that. This matter can only be blamed on Sixth Brother. You don’t know his temper. He’s a bit of a wimp. On weekdays, everything is easy to talk to, but when he gets wimpy, he can’t change his mind. If he gets mad, even I have to give him some ground.”

Qin Yuan changed the subject and said, "We'll have to wait and see what the Xu family does. Sixth brother and his wife can only persuade them slowly. You can't force a cow to drink water if it doesn't want to."

Gu Jinghui responded, and the two of them ate slowly for a while. Gu Jinghui asked again: "Is my clothes suitable for you to wear today?"

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "How can it be suitable? Cui Ming rushed a new one for me, and I can wear it this afternoon. What age are you wearing when you asked Sixteen to bring it?"

Gu Jinghui looked regretful.

"I didn't even see what you looked like in my clothes."

Qin Yuan didn't say anything.

Gu Jinghui continued, “About thirteen or fourteen years old. I hadn’t grown much at that time.”

Qin Yuan nodded and understood in his heart that that was the time when the young man Mu Ai was in love with him.

I heard that Marquis Gu had once been engaged to a woman who was his childhood sweetheart, but the marriage did not take place.

I don’t know if it’s that person.

"I saw that these clothes were all embroidered with little lions and your name, so I didn't wear them and put them away."

Gu Jinghui was stunned. He thought for a long time but couldn't remember who made it. After the meal, Qin Yuan showed it to him and said, "This is embroidered with great care. I don't dare to wear it anymore."

Gu Jinghui was stunned again and asked, "Why don't you dare wear it?"

Qin Yuan said: "Such a carefully crafted embroidery must have been done by one of your good sisters. How dare I wear it? If it gets damaged, wouldn't it be a pity if I can't find it when I remember it one day?"

Gu Jinghui stared at Qin Yuan blankly.

The unfathomable look disappeared, and that unruly and handsome face showed a bit of silliness again.

Qin Yuan quickly lowered her head to hide the smile that was creeping up to the corner of her lips.

"I'm not……"

Gu Jinghui stammered to explain, but found that he had no idea where to start.

What is going on?!
Giving a few pieces of clothing as a gift was meant to show closeness, but I didn't expect it would lead to such a mistake.

Gu Shiliu, who was having dinner with Hongye and Cuiming, suddenly sneezed loudly.

“Who will scold me?”

Gu Shiliu frowned and thought hard.

During this period, he worked diligently in the Marquis' Mansion and did not offend anyone.

Gu Jinghui suddenly realized something, and with a smile on his face, he pulled Qin Yuan’s hand and said, “Yuan’er, are you jealous?”

Qin Yuan: “…”

Gu Jinghui said, “How could I have any sisters to embroider clothes for me? You know that Baozhu can’t even lift a needle. I was so young at that time, I hadn’t even figured it out yet, and she hadn’t even been born yet.”

Since she was accused of being jealous, Qin Yuan simply confirmed it: "Who embroidered the little lion and the words on it? Was it your personal maid?"

Gu Jinghui waved his hands frantically, almost leaving an afterimage: “I don’t have a personal maid. After I turned ten, I only had servants around me. All my clothes were taken care of by my mother and the sewing room.”

He carefully looked at the little lion and words on the edge of the lapel, and thought of someone. He smiled and said, "Maybe it was my cousin from a branch of my maternal grandfather's family. She came here to live. She liked to embroider these. It looks like she embroidered them. Later, she was promised to my fourth brother."

As he spoke, his face turned gloomy again.

Qin Yuan quickly changed the subject and asked, "Do you like lions?"

Gu Jinghui shook his head and said, "I prefer horses, the kind with wings."

After saying that, he looked deeply at Qin Yuan and asked expectantly, "Will you embroider it for me?"

Qin Yuan: “…”

Why did she find these words to say?

But looking at Lord Gu who seemed unhappy because of the past events, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for her to say no? Wasn't it a bit cruel?

"I'm not good at embroidery," Qin Yuan hasn't touched needlework for many years, and she doesn't like embroidery.

Lord Gu said shyly, "I heard from Lieutenant General Jin that his wife likes to take care of his clothes. In order to avoid mixing them with other people's clothes, she would embroider small marks on them."

What does this annoying Lieutenant General Jin usually say to Lord Gu?
Qin Yuan really didn't understand why men would talk about these private things with each other, and Lord Gu was like a jealous child, wanting to learn it and embarrass her.

"But I have never seen a winged horse before. I can't embroider it without a pattern. Besides, if I embroider it, it won't be just a small mark."
