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

Chapter 221 It's Better to Be Wrong
Gu Jinghui didn't say anything, and it was obvious that he was a little uncomfortable with the twins' actions.

Gu Liuye said, "Third brother, I have to go to Xu's place to look after the child. Think about whether what I said makes sense."

After saying this, Mr. Gu Liu took the servant away.

Leaving Lord Gu alone in a daze.

When Qin Yuan returned to Wutong Garden, she asked Hongye to find Xiaohong and find out how the twins sneaked out of the upper room and why.

Seeing that she looked serious, Hongye left without asking any further questions.

Cui Ming asked, "Miss, do you think something is not right?"

Qin Yuan said, "Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er have been getting more and more obedient in the upper room these days. I thought they understood their situation. It was really suspicious that they suddenly made such a fuss today. I previously asked the housekeeper to send someone to stop them at the second gate, but it was just a precaution."

She also wanted to know whether the twins really wanted to see what the princess looked like, or if they had other ideas.

Cui Ming was shocked and said, "They are not even six years old."

Qin Yuan said: "The Marquis thinks that Zhao is a harmless weak woman who has a fatherless child, so he has a lot of pity for her."

But they all saw what kind of person Zhao was.

Cui Ming remained silent.

Qin Yuan added: "The Marquis' Mansion is in such a state now, I would rather be wrong than let it go."

Cui Ming said, "We should be careful indeed. These days, everyone is thinking about opening the government office soon, so it's inevitable that they are a little lax. But Zhao and Miss Xu haven't been found yet, and the prosecutor hasn't closed the case yet. We don't know what will happen next."

Qin Yuan nodded, "You are absolutely right. We still need to be very strict in our courtyard. Wear bibs when going in and out, and wash your hands and burn incense. Send someone to tell Doctor Li not to relax in the last few days and to check the patient's pulse frequently."

Cui Ming quickly said, "Yes."

When Lord Gu entered Wutong Garden for lunch, he was stopped by a maid and asked to burn some incense and wash his hands before being allowed in. He also saw that everyone coming in and out of the courtyard was wearing a bib, so he was a little surprised and asked, "What's going on?"

It wasn't like this in the past two days, why is it so strict again today?

Qin Yuan said: "I am just taking precautions. We haven't opened the palace yet, so you should not let your guard down."

Lord Gu frowned, glanced at Qin Yuan, and asked directly: "Yuan'er, do you think there is something wrong between Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er?"

Qin Yuan did not answer but asked: "You asked Sixteen to go, but what did you find?"

Lord Gu said, "No, he saw Xiaohong and Hongye talking and came back to tell me."

Xiaohong and Hongye were talking together, apparently asking about the twins.

He had already asked Gu Shiliu to find out the truth, but Qin Yuan was still worried.

Qin Yuan met his eyes openly and said, "Hongye hasn't come back yet. Let's talk about it when she comes back."

Lord Gu's heart sank.

Qin Yuan's various reactions probably showed that she was wary of the twins, a boy and a girl.

Since my wife came into the mansion, she has been shrewd and experienced in dealing with people. Now...

As they were talking, Hongye came back from the upper room and shouted as soon as she came in: "Good fellow, Miss..."

Meeting the gazes of Lord Gu and Qin Yuan, Hong Ye paused: "... Lord, Lord Gu..." Lord Gu's face turned pale, and he said, "Speak now, what's wrong?"

Hongye's eyes shifted slightly, waiting for Qin Yuan's instructions.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Now, what did you ask?"

Hongye restrained her expression and said, "Xiaohong didn't notice them slipping out at all, and the old woman guarding the gate didn't notice them either. Xiaohong said they might have gone out through the dog hole. The old lady has a dog, and the dog likes to go through the dog hole, so she left a hole specifically for the dog to go in and out. The dog was very delicate, so she didn't want to dirty its fur, so she made the dog hole a little big."

Qin Yuan asked, "Hasn't Xiao Hong always been with them?"

"Xiaohong said that Cheng Ge'er was a little upset about learning calligraphy, so he went to grumble with Yu Jie'er. She didn't expect that the two of them would run out of the dog hole in just a short while."

"Xiao Hong and I even went to the dog hole and saw signs of crawling in and out."

After Hongye finished speaking, she glanced at Lord Gu's expression and said, "Madame Rong just felt that it was a lot quieter than usual, so she asked where the two little ones were. The people in the upper room didn't pay much attention, thinking that since the house was sealed and the yard was under close surveillance, and with Xiaohong accompanying them, they might be studying or playing somewhere. Who would have thought that they would actually sneak out of the yard."

Qin Yuan lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lord Gu's face didn't look very good either.

Hongye stood there blankly, her legs inexplicably stiff.

Finally, Qin Yuan said, "Urge the maids and ask them how the food is. The Marquis is here, so hurry up and serve the food."

Hongye nodded and went out immediately.

Qin Yuan then said, "My Lord, you heard it too. These two children have been able to come and go freely in the upper room, and even Xiao Hong didn't know."

If this incident hadn't been exposed, everyone would still be kept in the dark.

Gu Jinghui asked: "Madam, what do you want to say?"

Qin Yuan frowned and said, "I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it. Maybe I was frightened by Cheng Ge'er's appearance today. The boy was beaten quite badly. My brother Qin Heng also likes to fight, but he has never been like this before."

Gu Jinghui said, “Brother Cheng is tall and big…his father is like that, good at hand-to-hand combat. Could it be that you are feeling uneasy because of what Old Six said?”

Hongye led the people to serve the dishes and said, "Cui Ming just sent some dishes to Doctor Li."

Qin Yuan heard this and said with a smile: "That's good, I actually forgot about it today."

Hongye said: "Cui Ming is always careful and careful, checking for deficiencies and filling in the gaps."

When the food was ready, Qin Yuan said, "You don't have to wait here anymore. Let's go eat outside."

Hongye retreated.

Qin Yuancai said, "My husband, I am indeed a little uneasy. Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er behaved very well a few days ago, fearing that they would be disliked because of Zhao's matter. Today, they made such a big fuss just to see the princess. It really makes me think about it. Besides, Cheng Ge'er's appearance... is too scary."

Lord Gu couldn't say anything.

When they rushed over, the boy was lying on the ground covered in blood after being beaten. Cheng Ge'er had a murderous look on his face, which was really scary.

It would be fine if Cheng Ge'er was eleven or twelve years old, but now he is only six years old.

Qin Yuan poured a bowl of fish soup and gently placed it in front of him, then said, "My Lord, I can't say much in front of my sixth brother, but I agree with what he said. I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable for the two of them to stay in the mansion. Over time, they will inevitably accumulate resentment because of these things. It's better to think of a way to settle them down."

Lord Gu sighed.
