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

Chapter 206 Can’t sit still anymore
Qin Yuan smiled and glanced at him, then said softly, "That girl is too smart. When she grows up, she will probably be even smarter than Hongye. Doctor Liu is not right. It was Xiaohong who sent me a message, so I started to pay attention. I have my own considerations for her, so don't get involved."

The charming look in her side made Lord Gu's soul float away. He immediately smiled and said, "You have the final say in hiring people. I just couldn't bear to mention her in front of you because of her little look."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Although they were obviously handsome men and beautiful women, Gu Shiliu found it too disgusting to look at.

I had no choice but to lower my head.

I sighed in my heart: A master like this will sooner or later be caught by the Madam, and caught tightly.

No matter how many precious books General Jin gave, it was useless.

Really.

Qin Yuan flipped out the letters from Qin Siyuan and Lin Ziqi, and said casually, "If Madam Zhao really went out in broad daylight, who killed the old woman? If the old woman died in broad daylight, how could no one see it? Did someone lie? If the Marquis doesn't investigate it carefully, when the mansion is opened and he has to go to the camp, who knows what other tasks will be assigned to him, who will have time to investigate these? This matter will become an unsolved case. It concerns the origin of the two children, and Zhao's matter cannot be sloppy."

That’s right, Qin Yuan was planning to find something for Gu Jinghui to do.

In her previous life, she followed Lin Ziqi and started as a small magistrate in a poor county. As the chief official of a county, she had to take care of everything.

When people came to file complaints, Lin Ziqi sometimes had to go to the scene of the crime and make a careful assessment.

If there is a suspicious or important case, several important officials in a county will gather together to discuss it.

Qin Yuan naturally often analyzed the case with Lin Ziqi.

She always felt that something was wrong with Zhao's affairs.

Gu Jinghui felt a chill run down his spine after hearing what he said, and he broke out in a cold sweat even in the hot summer.

Gu Shiliu's face was full of admiration.

They were so busy these days that some lines were neglected because of the ceiling.

From Zihe to the old woman, every word the lady said hit the nail on the head, pointing out the areas where they had neglected.

But it is precisely these oversights that may hide the truth.

Gu Jinghui said, “The woman who ran back with Sixth Brother’s car must have hidden something. I said her words were unreliable. One ran away, one died, and the rest is up to her.”

Gu Shiliu said: "That old woman is very stubborn."

Qin Yuan asked, "Did she escape from the mansion first, and then hide under Sixth Master's car and come back?"

Gu Shiliu said: "Yes."

Gu Jinghui remained silent.

Qin Yuan slowly unfolded Qin Siyuan's letter, glanced at it for a few times, and then said, "That woman ran out at night because she felt it was safer outside the mansion than inside. She followed the Sixth Master's car back. It would be safer to hide back. This is strange. Did that woman meet someone outside?"

Gu Shiliu's eyes lit up and he said, "There has been a group of martial artists guarding the gate of the mansion since it was sealed. They don't look like spies from other mansions. Shiba secretly checked and found that they are very alert and dare not follow too closely. Could it be related to this woman?"

Lord Gu said: "It's not impossible."

Qin Yuan said, "When things become unusual, there are usually other reasons. The old woman came back either because she thought that the mansion had not discovered smallpox so quickly and that she could do something, or because it was too dangerous outside the mansion and it was safer inside. Who is so afraid of the Marquis's mansion?"

Gu Shiliu said, "Yes, she insisted that she knew nothing. We can't kill her. Maybe she can still survive."

If this guess is correct.

What was so frightening outside the mansion that she would rather come back?

Qin Yuan opened Lin Ziqi's letter again, glanced at it, and said calmly: "There is another possibility, that is, this woman came back again with a great mission and wanted to do something, but she was caught unexpectedly."

When a person does something, others may speculate on countless reasons and motives.

Gu Shiliu was speechless.

What ma'am just said is not impossible.

Gu Jinghui couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and said, "Sixteen, let's go to the study to discuss this first." Gu Sixteen asked, "Which study?"

"Outer courtyard."

Gu Shiliu: “…”

Didn't we just move back?

Why do you want to go back again?
Gu Jinghui had finally managed to come back, so he naturally wouldn’t go back so easily. He said to Qin Yuan, “Aren’t you tired just now? Why don’t you take a nap first? If you need anything, just ask someone to find me in the outer courtyard. Otherwise, tell Sixteen. Wait for me for dinner tonight.”

Qin Yuan nodded.

Gu Jinghui then stood up and hurried away with Gu Shiliu.

Hongye and Cuiming hurried in to serve.

Hongye asked curiously, "What happened to the Marquis? He is a completely different person than he was this morning."

Qin Yuan said casually: "He was free this morning, and now he has to get down to business."

Cui Ming was speechless.

Hongye saw her reading a letter and asked, "Miss, do you want to reply?"

Qin Yuan said: "Not necessarily."

Hongye had already opened the lid of the inkstone that Lord Gu had ground last time and said, "There's still some ink left."

Qin Yuan glanced at her and said with a smile, "If the Marquis doesn't say anything to you for three days, I think you are not being honest."

Cui Ming said, "It's because the Marquis said a few nice words to her that she got cocky again. When she saw the Marquis a while ago, she acted like a mouse seeing a cat."

Hongye said with a straight face, "I just wanted to avoid wasting this good ink. It would be a waste if this ink is not used up. Even the Marquis spent so much time grinding it."

As he said this, he couldn't help laughing.

Qin Yuan said, "You are so naughty. If the Marquis gets angry one day, I'll see what you will do."

Hongye said, "The Marquis is not such a stingy person. From what I see, the Marquis just looks a little stern. Sometimes he has a stern face and exudes murderous intent, which makes people scared, but he has never done anything out of line. Besides, didn't the Marquis say that he doesn't hit women?"

Cui Ming said: "But he can have people hit women. It would be embarrassing to be slapped by an old woman."

Hongye stamped her feet and said, "Can't you just hope that I get better?"

Qin Yuan coughed.

The two stopped talking.

Qin Yuan picked up a pen, opened a piece of letter paper, wrote a few words casually, and put it aside.

In the letter, Qin Siyuan talked about his studies in the Imperial College over the past few days, which shows that he really treated her as his teacher.

The letter mentioned that he and Qin Heng were taking care of the six masters' two children in the Imperial College, and Qin Heng put a lot of thought into it, which was very different from before. But Lin Ziqi was getting more and more weird.

Qin Yuan wrote back, asking him to teach Qin Heng more about the ways of the world and not to worry too much about his studies, but to focus on next year's imperial examination.

In her previous life, she had guided Qin Heng in his studies and knew that this younger brother not only lacked the talent for studying, but also was unable to make up for his shortcomings with hard work.

It was just because his father was the chief priest of Qin that he had to study hard.

His father didn't have high expectations for Qin Heng's academic performance.

Studying in the Imperial College can help you understand the truth, on the one hand; on the other hand, it can prevent you from doing nothing and messing around like a lackey or a cockfighter; furthermore, it can help you make some friends.

As for Lin Ziqi, she didn't even mention him.

Lin Ziqi was certainly unwilling, but Qin Siyuan had done nothing wrong, so he became defensive again.

Even if Lin Ziqi had some ideas, he couldn't carry them out.
