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

Chapter 212: Incompatibility with etiquette
Lord Gu lowered his sharp eyebrows and looked at Qin Yuan in his arms. He raised the corners of his lips and asked softly, "Yuan'er, what else do you have that I, your husband, don't know?"

Xiaodong was a little annoyed. He bit his lower lip lightly and looked at Qin Yuan worriedly.

He felt close to Gu Jinghui, his senior brother-in-law, and couldn't help but talk about how good his senior sister was. Unexpectedly, he let the cat out of the bag.

Qin Yuan looked back at Lord Gu without avoiding the question and said softly, "My dear, we have only been married for a short time, and we will know it in the future."

She didn't want to hide it deliberately, nor did she want to reveal the secret in her heart at an inappropriate time.

Lord Gu smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about studying medicine first. Have you already taken Doctor Li as your teacher?"

Qin Yuan nodded, "That's right. Otherwise, why would Doctor Li be willing to take the risk to come to the mansion to treat smallpox? He regards Xiaodong as his lifeblood. How could he take Xiaodong into danger for just one thousand taels of silver?"

Xiaodong blinked.

Look, the master always pretends to be obsessed with money, but in fact, the senior sister knows it clearly in her heart.

Qin Yuan stretched out her slender index finger and lightly touched Gu Jinghui's violently heaving chest. She chuckled and said, "When Doctor Li and Xiaodong leave, you must give them a generous gift. For the future of the Marquis's Mansion, my master said he would present the ancestral prescription to them, and he wouldn't let me say it was related to him. The master did this because of me."

She has gorgeous facial features, and every frown and smile of hers is picturesque.

Lord Gu was already attracted by her cool red riding clothes, and now seeing her being so coquettish and angry, his heart almost jumped out of his mouth. He didn't care about others at all, and immediately said, "Yuan'er, I'll give you as much as you say, okay?"

Qin Yuan: “…”

She had intended to take the initiative and have a good talk with Lord Gu, but she didn't expect that he would surrender before she could really start.

"Pfft."

There was a light laugh from not far away.

No need to look, it must be red leaves again.

Qin Yuan's face suddenly became hot.

Lord Gu continued to ask, "You have already accepted Doctor Li as your master. Do you want to have a clear path in the mansion? The apprenticeship banquet has not been held yet. So, Xiaodong should call me his master's husband."

Qin Yuan's face turned even redder.

Lord Gu's embrace was so hot that her heartbeat almost didn't seem to be her own.

"Put me down now, why are you holding me?"

Qin Yuan began to talk about other things.

Gu Jinghui didn’t let go.

"Hongye and the others are watching us, put me down quickly."

Gu Jinghui glanced at her and said, "She's my own wife, so what's the big deal about hugging her?"

"It's not in accordance with etiquette."

Gu Jinghui wanted to say something but held back and finally let her go.

Qin Yuan held her forehead with her hand and said delicately, "The sun is giving me a headache. I want to go back and take a rest."

Gu Jinghui quickly supported her waist, allowing her to stand more steadily, and only said softly: "Okay."

Qin Yuan said: "How about you play with Xiaodong for a while?"

Gu Jinghui chuckled and said, "I'd better accompany you to rest. I have a headache too."

Qin Yuan didn't say anything, just stared at him.

Gu Jinghui took her hand and said, "Let's go."

Hongye followed behind him, giggling.

Qin Yuan had no choice but to follow Gu Jinghui.

Xiaodong stopped riding his horse and quickly returned to the courtyard where he and Doctor Li lived.

In the yard, Doctor Liu's groaning could be heard from time to time, and it sounded as if his condition was getting worse. Doctor Li was in the shade, checking the moss he had dug from the lotus pond yesterday.

"Master." Doctor Li lazily raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and asked, "Did you find it?"

"Ah."

Xiaodong responded, squatted down and helped Doctor Li to check.

"This moss grows well. It can clear away heat and detoxify, stop bleeding, and treat carbuncle and swelling. The ancients also used it to detoxify bee and scorpion venom. I'll keep it and use it as a marker."

"Ah."

"Why are you so quiet today? Did you do something bad outside?"

Doctor Li glanced at Xiaodong who was worried.

Xiaodong said, "Master, I seem to have done something wrong. I accidentally let out the fact that my senior sister was studying medicine with you."

Doctor Li stared at Xiaodong and remained speechless for a long time.

Xiao Dong said with a guilty conscience, "It was the Marquis who asked Brother Sixteen to ask me if I wanted to learn horse riding, and I agreed. The Marquis didn't despise me at all for being a little medicine boy. He not only let me ride on the snow, but also took me for a few laps."

Doctor Li frowned in thought.

Xiaodong continued, "Then the Marquis asked Brother Sixteen to invite Senior Sister over, saying that he wanted to teach Senior Sister how to ride a horse. Senior Sister learned to ride a horse very quickly, and the Marquis praised Senior Sister. I said that Senior Sister was smart, and she learned most of the master's family needlework just by watching him needle..."

The voice became lower and lower.

Doctor Li grabbed Xiaodong's ear and scolded him, "You little brat, every time I say you're not careful with your mouth, you don't admit it. Look at it now, right?"

Xiaodong said angrily, "Yes, yes, yes."

Her voice was nasal and her eyes were slightly red, but she was trying hard not to cry out.

Doctor Li sighed, "You're still crying. Isn't it your mouth that's causing trouble? I've told you long ago not to say everything in front of you. I don't know when you'll sell me out."

Xiaodong couldn't help choking up: "It's all my fault. I won't do it again."

Doctor Li ignored him and continued to examine the moss carefully.

Xiaodong tried hard to hold back his sobs and asked, "Master, what should we do now?"

Doctor Li asked angrily, "Did Lord Gu hit your senior sister or scold her?"

Xiaodong quickly shook his head: "No, he is still very good to Senior Sister."

Doctor Li said, "Then it's over, isn't it?"

Xiaodong: “Um, ah?”

Doctor Li was even more annoyed: "Don't you think about why Lord Gu wanted to take a little medicine boy like you on horseback? It was because of your senior sister. Your senior sister treated you well. Maybe she said something to him, so Lord Gu gave you the favor. I'm afraid Lord Gu has already guessed it, and is just waiting for you to talk nonsense."

Xiaodong: “?”

Doctor Li said, "How do you think that god of war came from? It's just you and your senior sister's skills. Humph, I don't care now and I won't pursue it. Just come back and work for me honestly. Later, go to the fake cave and scrape some moss back and separate them to dry in the sun. Got it?"

Xiaodong: “Oh, I see.”

According to Master, my brother-in-law already knew about it, so... it's all right now, right...

The whole day was spent in anxiety.

In the evening, Hongye came with a happy face and invited them to Wutong Garden for a banquet.

"A banquet?"

Xiaodong glanced at Doctor Li.

Doesn’t the Marquis live in Wutong Garden?

Senior sister invited them to a banquet, is Lord Gu there too?

Doctor Li looked at his expression and sneered, "Boy, you are scared now. Let's go. Your brother-in-law is going to take you in."
