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

Chapter 226 No problem
Gu Jinghui said: “That’s right, women like to gossip, and if they talk too much, they can’t keep secrets, so it’s inevitable that something will leak out.”

Speaking of this, Lord Gu's heart moved.

"Have him do some research to find out which families have close ties with the Zhao family and what topics do they talk about in their daily interactions?"

This is going to investigate the Zhao family thoroughly.

Gu Shiliu asked, "What do you suspect, Lord?"

Gu Jinghui said, "Now I feel that there are more and more suspicious things about Zhao. The two maids she brought with her are also a bit strange. This smallpox has hindered our efforts and the prosecutors have been unable to make a good judgment. If we had not immediately sealed off the mansion, the capital would have been ravaged by smallpox and blamed on us. Who would have cared to investigate the whereabouts of a woman like her?"

Gu Shiliu nodded in agreement.

Gu Jinghui continued, “Madam, you firmly believe that Zhao intends to make a comeback. We came here from the northern frontier with real swords and guns. How can Zhao be so scheming and cruel? Is this what an ordinary woman with love in her heart would do?”

Gu Shiliu said, "Yes, that old woman in the dungeon refused to confess no matter how hard she was interrogated. This is something that an ordinary woman cannot bear."

Gu Jinghui sighed and said, “What Madam said today reminded me. It’s a pity that even though she is so smart, she still has her eyes blinded by one thing. Whatever, it’s because her heart is filled with me.”

Lord Gu frowned again and said in distress: "She thinks Princess Fuyun has feelings for me, and then she thinks Zhao Shi has set up such a vicious plan for me... Oh, how is this possible."

Gu Shiliu: “…”

Isn't Princess Fuyun interested in the Marquis?

As a princess, how could she eat vegetarian food for the sake of someone who has nothing to do with her? ! ! ! !

Gu Shiliu looked suspiciously at Lord Gu, who was immersed in the sigh of his young wife loving him too much, and was quite disapproving.

Wutong Court.

Qin Yuan drove Lord Gu out again, and Hongye and Cuiming moved back.

The three of them were concentrating on counting the accounts under the lamp.

It was late at night. Qin Yuan stretched and said, "In two days, the complete count will be completed. I will copy it out, record the number of books and pens, and then hand it over to the Marquis."

Hongye asked: "Why should we give it to the Marquis?"

Qin Yuan said: "I guess the Marquis wants to take a look before making a decision."

Cui Ming said nothing and continued to work on the abacus.

Hongye said: "But the Marquis is not good at the affairs of the rear house, he..."

Qin Yuan sighed and said, "It doesn't matter, we'll talk about it then."

Hongye wanted to say something, but Cuiming said, "Since Miss has made up her mind, we should just follow it. Since the Marquis has said so, it is not reasonable for Miss to go beyond the Marquis's authority. But no matter what we do, we can't escape this account book."

Hongye thought about it and said, "That's right."

Everything has been written down and sorted out; nothing can escape.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Hongye and Cuiming both rested in the bedroom. Hongye tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and whispered to Qin Yuan: "Miss, do you think Xiaohong can do what we ask her to do?"

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "What are you worried about?"

Hongye said, "I'm not worried. If Xiaohong lets them go, I don't know what trouble those two little ones will cause."

Qin Yuan snorted and said, "It doesn't matter. Only if you watch more carefully can you see what's going on."

Cui Ming also interrupted, "Miss, do you suspect there is something else going on here?"

Qin Yuan said: "Maybe I am overthinking. I am not a god who can predict the future. I just feel that there is something hidden in it but I can't see it clearly. It's like a basin of water with mud and sand added, which makes it turbid. It's better to let them calm down and they will naturally be able to see clearly."

Cui Ming thought for a moment and said, "Miss, what you said makes sense. Now there are deaths and disappearances in the mansion, and there is smallpox. It's too chaotic. Why don't we let it go for now? Let's relax on the outside and tighten up on the inside, so that those who want to stir up trouble will have a chance."

Hongye explained: "I'm just worried that Xiaohong is too young and can't help. No matter how smart she is, she is still a child."

Qin Yuan turned over and said, "Let's do this first. If we suddenly add more people, won't it make people suspicious? We don't know if some people are suitable for us." At this point, she suddenly remembered someone and smiled, "Oh, I forgot, there is still one person who can be used."

Hongye asked hurriedly, "Who is it?"

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "I won't tell you. Go to sleep quickly."

Hongye: "..."

Cui Ming chuckled after a while, "I know that too."

Hongye: "..."

The next day, Qin Yuan had breakfast in Wutong Garden, and then sat under a silk umbrella in the yard to start her work.

She was busy following Doctor Li in the past few days, so all these were left to Hongye and Cuiming to handle.

After the steward and the stewardesses had finished reporting their affairs, Qin Yuan said, "Send someone to check each courtyard to see if there are any dog ​​holes or the like. If you find any, make a record and report it quickly."

"Yes."

Qin Yuan asked again: "When will the patient who recovered a few days ago come back for his shift?"

A steward handed the booklet over.

Qin Yuan took a look and said, "I know."

After everyone left, Qin Yuan asked Hongye to go to the upper room to find Rong Mama.

Hongye asked, "What do you want to say?"

Qin Yuan said, "Just tell Madam Rong what you told Xiaohong yesterday. Aren't you worried that Xiaohong is too young to take care of her? Madam Rong can take Zihe back."

She looked at the booklet and found that Zihe had recovered, but was still weak and was still recuperating.

Hongye suddenly realized, and then asked: "Miss, don't you want Zihe to come to Wutong Garden?"

Qin Yuan said: "That's all later."

What this means is to do the current things first and then talk about other things later.

Hongye said, "That's fine. She is recovering slowly now. She doesn't have to do anything when she returns to the upper room. She used to serve them in Fengxuan Pavilion, so it's reasonable."

Qin Yuan said: "Well, she is smart and calm. She should be able to see something when she is with Xiao Hong."

Hongye hurried to Rong Mama's place, and came back after a while, saying, "It's done. Rong Mama said that the old lady also has this plan, and has asked Zihe for her opinion. The old lady also suspects that someone is behind this."

Qin Yuan sighed: "Old ginger is still spicy."

Hongye asked: "Should we tell the Marquis?"

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't you like to ask Sixteen questions? What can you hide from him?"

Hongye was a little embarrassed and said, "I will never say anything that I shouldn't say."

Qin Yuan said, "Okay, hurry up and settle the accounts. I'm still waiting for you to bring Hongmian to Sun's account office. The Marquis also said that he hopes to take care of the accounts of the outer courtyard. This will depend on a capable person like you to take care of it."

Hongye: "..."

You two really are from the same family.

After Gu Jinghui learned about Qin Yuan's arrangement, he smiled and said, "Yuan'er and I are really in sync and think alike."

The guards had just checked the dog holes in each courtyard and reported back.

　No matter how hard I try, I am still late in updating, wuwuwuwu...
