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

Chapter 219: Fight without bloodshed

If she hadn't known that the two princesses had not been on good terms in their previous lives, she would have thought that they were very loving sisters.

Qin Yuan lowered his head and said nothing.

Gu Jinghui said in a cold voice: "According to the rules, the entire Dingbei Marquis's mansion should welcome the princess to express condolences, which is in accordance with the etiquette of the subjects, but at the moment, the situation is urgent and we have to do this. This marquis brought his wife to welcome her because of the difference between men and women. In order to protect the reputation of the princesses, if my wife is inappropriate, please forgive me."

Princess Fuyun saw that he was unhappy and said quickly, "Third brother, I just said that because I was worried that Madam had not seen the emperor and was confused."

Qin Yuan sneered in his heart, thinking that this was saying that his background was humble.

Gu Jinghui said in a cold and hard voice: “Princess, you must not call me Third Brother. If the Emperor hears about it, I will not be able to bear the consequences.”

Princess Fuyun's little face flushed red, her black and white eyes were filled with tears, and her eye sockets were slightly red.

The Ninth Princess said, "Lord Gu, you saved my Seventh Sister when she was young, and I have always remembered you. I heard that you once served as a companion in the palace, so my Seventh Sister calls you Third Brother to show her affection."

Gu Jinghui immediately said, “This is against etiquette, and I absolutely cannot accept this responsibility.”

Princess Fuyun's nose turned red and she looked at Lord Gu sadly.

But Lord Gu didn't even look at her. He was only concerned with protecting Qin Yuan.

The Ninth Princess had nothing to say.

Qin Yuan naturally wouldn't be annoying at this time, she just sat there quietly as a foil.

For a moment, the pavilion was filled with awkward silence.

After a long while, Princess Fuyun finally said in a trembling voice, "Lord Gu, are you all right these days?"

Gu Jinghui immediately pulled Qin Yuan up, bowed deeply to the two princesses, and said, "I am fine, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The Marquis' Mansion will be open soon, and I will report the smallpox issue to you then."

Princess Fuyun's face became even uglier, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

The Ninth Princess glanced at Princess Fuyun, her eyes and mouth showing sarcasm, and her face showing some regret. She said helplessly, "Lord Gu, please stand up and speak. My Seventh Sister is concerned about your safety, not asking on behalf of my father."

Gu Jinghui pulled Qin Yuan up, and the two of them sat down. Then he said, “Thank you for your concern, princesses. I am doing well recently. Although there have been some setbacks in the smallpox issue in the mansion, thanks to the help of my wife, things are getting better now.”

Princess Fuyun wiped her tears with a handkerchief, lowered her head and stopped talking.

There followed another unspeakable silence.

The two princesses sat for a cup of tea and then said goodbye and left.

Lord Gu and Qin Yuan sent the two of them to the gate of the mansion and then stopped.

The princess's ceremonial procession was all outside the palace gate, which was quite convenient. The two of them boarded the carriage and left with music playing.

Lord Gu and Qin Yuan stood for a while, watching the princess leave, and then returned home.

Just as Butler Han ordered his men to seal the door again, Lord Gu asked, "Yuan'er, did you see anything?"

Qin Yuan: “Hmm?”

Lord Gu did not avoid people, he took her hand and walked inside, saying: "Didn't you say that we should see the emperor's intention before drafting the memorial? I see that the emperor seems to be a little anxious, should we submit the memorial before opening the palace?"

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I see that the emperor is satisfied that smallpox has not spread since the mansion was sealed. I already have an idea of ​​what this memorial will be like, but..."

"Just what?"

Qin Yuan said, "But I see that the two princesses don't like me. Will I be made difficult for you and mother when I enter the palace with you?"

She was naturally happy to have Lord Gu's protection today, but she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

The two princesses are now in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, so it is not easy to get angry.

But when she arrived at the palace, she was in a weak position. Queen Lin was not a good person, and the Queen Mother was definitely not a good person either.

If the two princesses say something bad about her in front of them, I'm afraid...

Qin Yuan's words made Gu Jinghui frown. He said, "From now on, you can only enter the palace with mother. With mother around, they won't be able to make things difficult for you."

Qin Yuan nodded.

Gu Jinghui added: “For my sake, the brothers of these two princesses will also control them and will not dare to embarrass you in public. You must be more careful in private and follow mother closely. Let mother protect you.”

Qin Yuan also nodded in response.

Gu Jinghui put his arm around Qin Yuan’s shoulders and said in distress, “These two princesses are really weird. Yuan’er is good in every way, so why don’t they like you?”

Qin Yuan smiled and said nothing.

Lord Gu was also thinking in his heart that after he opened his government office, he would have a good talk with the Crown Prince and the King of Qi.

The couple walked in silence for a while, and then they saw Cao, the butler, coming up to them with sweat all over his forehead. He said, "My Lord, Madam, the servants just stopped someone at the second gate."

Lord Gu asked angrily, "Who is it?"

Running outside at this time is very unruly and must be severely punished.

Qin Yuan said nothing, seemingly not surprised at all, and just looked at Butler Cao indifferently.

Butler Cao hesitated and said, "...They are the Marquis's adopted son and daughter."

Lord Gu: "..."

He looked at Qin Yuan in surprise and guilt, then asked, "Why are they running out when the princess comes instead of staying in the upper room?"

Steward Cao's forehead was covered with sweat, and he was so anxious that he wiped it with his sleeves.

"I don't know either. Maybe he is just a child and wants to peek at the princess?"

Lord Gu frowned.

Qin Yuan asked: "Where are Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er?"

Housekeeper Cao said, "I have previously ordered that if anyone insists on breaking in, they should be tied up, and they must not break out of the second door and offend the princess. The servants did not dare to go too far, they just stopped them from passing. Miss Yu was fine, but Master Cheng was a bit... fierce..."

Qin Yuan asked helplessly: "What happened?"

Steward Cao said, "The servants dare not tie him up, nor do they dare to embarrass him. Young Master Cheng injured a servant, but he couldn't stop him."

Gu Jinghui: “…”

Gu Jinghui and Qin Yuan hurried towards the second gate.

Master Gu Liu and the servant had already left the room and were taking a breath outside. Seeing them rushing to the second door, he asked, "What happened?"

The servant hurried to inquire, and after a while he came back in high spirits, saying, "Master Cheng and Miss Yu wanted to see the princess, but were stopped at the second gate. Master Cheng went crazy and beat someone up, and the Marquis and his wife rushed over to see what was going on."

Master Gu Liu snorted and said, "Third brother's children are so rude. I don't know how Zhao taught them. Third brother treats them like his own sweethearts and thinks they are good in every way."

The servant said, "I heard that women in Saibei are very strong. If their husbands are gone, they will go to the battlefield to fight. Didn't the Marquis say that if Zhao wants to remarry, he is willing to give her a generous dowry? It is common for widows in Saibei to remarry."

Master Gu Liu sighed and said, "It's also my third brother's bad luck to meet such a woman, but I am grateful to my third brother's benefactor. If it weren't for him, my third brother would never come back to Saibei. I don't know how to teach these two children."

The servant said mysteriously, "Everyone in the mansion knows that it was their mother who caused the smallpox. I'm afraid that even if the Marquis wanted to keep them, he couldn't. Fortunately, the Madam was very resourceful and drove the whole family out without bloodshed."
