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

Chapter 236 Li Daitao is stiff
Nanny Zhao was overjoyed, but she still remembered to describe it to her master, saying, "Sixth Madam initially thought that the smallpox in the mansion was annoying enough, and she didn't want the old lady to worry about her, so she kept it a secret. Who knew it would become so serious. Since she got this disease, Sixth Madam has always had trouble sleeping and would wake up at the slightest noise. She always suspects that someone wants to harm her. I'm afraid that's why Sixth Madam doesn't want to see a doctor."

Rong Madam said, "It's all because of that Zhao. Otherwise, how could Sixth Madam be like this? Don't worry, Sixth Madam, take the medicine and relax and take care of yourself. She will get better."

Aunt Zhao had tears in her eyes and smiled, "Yes, it will be fine."

Rong Mama instructed, "Sixth Master will come to talk to you later. Do you know how to tell Sixth Madam?"

Aunt Zhao nodded.

Aunt Rong sighed and said, "I have to go back and report to the old lady. When the old lady found out, she was very worried and asked me to come and ask about Sixth Madam's condition. Please tell Sixth Madam to relax. The old lady is thinking about her."

Nanny Zhao returned to the main room with a smile. Madam Gu Liu was lying on the couch, still waiting for her with her eyes half closed.

Madam Zhao put down the box in her hand.

Madam Gu Liu asked weakly, "What is this?"

Madam Zhao said, "This is the calming incense that the old lady asked Madam Rong to bring. This is what she used yesterday. I saw that Madam slept much more peacefully after using it. When Madam Rong found out, she quickly prepared a box and asked for it to be sent over."

Madam Gu Liu smiled and said, "Madame Rong is thoughtful."

Madam Zhao said, "That's right. Madam Rong is the most important servant to the old lady. Whoever she is close to is the same as who the old lady is close to."

Madam Gu Liu sighed, "The old lady has always been very kind to me, but unfortunately, Master Liu is incompetent and was not born from the old lady's womb. After all, there is a gap between a concubine's son and his wife."

Madam Zhao wiped the sweat off Madam Gu Liu's face lovingly and said, "If I were to say, Madam is indeed a bit too concerned. Although Master Liu is not very ambitious, he is not the kind of person who would favor his concubine over his wife. Madam is also a reasonable person. Isn't our life here better than in the Xu family? Which of the Xu family's ladies married as well as you and lived as well as you did?"

Madam Gu Liu sighed.

Seeing her dejected expression, Madam Zhao continued, "I saw that Madam's illness was getting worse, so I couldn't help but ask Sixth Master for help. When Sixth Master found out, he was so panicked that he asked Marquis for help. I heard that Marquis was planning to invite the imperial physician to come to the mansion to treat Madam. It can be seen that Sixth Master still has Madam in his heart. As the saying goes, a husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days. Madam has given birth to several children for Sixth Master. For the sake of the children, Sixth Master will treat you well."

"…Did the Sixth Master really go to ask the Marquis for help?"

There was a gleam of light in Madam Gu Liu's eyes.

Madam Zhao said, "That's right. The Sixth Master is thinking about his wife and children. I heard that the Sixth Master has learned well recently. He has been reading and painting all day long. He has not even seen Aunt Zheng once."

Madam Gu Liu said half-doubtfully, "He is fickle and has no perseverance. It is not surprising that Aunt Zheng fell out of favor, but I didn't know that she fell out of favor so quickly. Our Sixth Master is getting more and more irrelevant."

Madam Zhao advised: "Sixth Master is getting better, Madam should say something nice. When a man gets older and becomes more sensible, he will know how to protect his wife and children."

Madam Gu Liu narrowed her eyes and said, "I am tired. I will take a rest first. I just wonder if my third sister-in-law will be angry with me if the Marquis goes to ask the imperial physician."

Madam Zhao said, "At this point, life is the most important thing. Even if Madam San is upset, there is nothing she can do."

Madam Gu Liu fell asleep again.

After listening to Rong Madam's report, Madam Gu sighed and said, "For no reason, it has become like this. I have loved her in vain. There are only two sisters-in-law in the family, and they are still in such a mess. How have I ever treated her badly?"

Madam Rong said, "In the past, it was only the Sixth Master who was at home, and the Sixth Madam had been in charge of the household affairs for a long time. It was inevitable that she would have some other thoughts. Besides, the Madam was young, but she happened to be quite capable." Old Madam Gu sighed.

It is said that one should keep things fair, but it is easier said than done.

Aunt Rong said, "Fortunately, the Sixth Master and the Marquis have always been doing well. The Marquis cares about the Sixth Master, and the Sixth Master respects the Marquis. Only when the two brothers are doing well will the mansion be well."

Madam Gu said with a headache, "Don't be so easy on me. A harmonious family is the root of everything. No matter how good the two of them are, if the inner house is in chaos, they will eventually become estranged. Haven't we seen enough of such things at our age? The children all listen to their mother, so how can the nephews and nieces work together? It is true that the title of Dingbei Marquis is hereditary, but this responsibility requires the joint efforts of the family."

Rong Mama smiled bitterly and said, "In that case, it's better that Sixth Master and Sixth Madam are not good."

Mrs. Gu: "..."

Rong Mama continued, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Isn't the old lady still hoping to change her family and give up military service to pursue literature? In the future, when they serve in the court, it would be better if they can support each other. If they can't, it's not a big deal. It's not like going to the battlefield."

Madam Gu said, "You are the only one who has a lot of reasons, old man. How is the cooperation between your good son-in-law and Yuan'er going?"

Rong Mama said, "Well, if you count the days, it will be on the market soon. Madam, please wait for two days, and then Madam will come to announce the good news."

Madam Gu smiled and sighed, "If these fragrant pills sell well, Yuan'er won't think about getting the pepper anymore. She is from a poor family and she always wants to make money to supplement her dowry. It's really pitiful to see her like that."

Aunt Rong also laughed.

……

After Gu Jingjun, his third brother, and Doctor Li had reached an agreement, they went to talk to Aunt Zhao.

Madam Gu Liu was still sleeping. When she heard that Master Gu Liu was looking for her, one of Zhao Ma's shoes was missing.

"Sixth Master, Sixth Madam is having a really hard time. These days, she can't eat or sleep. She's worried about Zhen Jie'er's whereabouts, the two young masters, and she has to take care of the sick young lady..."

The more Nanny Zhao spoke, the sadder she became. She cried and snotted, and looked haggard and embarrassed.

Master Gu Liu concealed his disdain and frowned through the door, saying, "I have asked Third Brother to find a solution, but Third Brother can't find a suitable person for a while. You also know that our house door cannot be opened yet. Not everyone has the ability of Doctor Li to take on this life-threatening job."

"What should I do?"

Madam Zhao was struck by lightning and said in a daze, "I have already told Madam Six that the imperial physician will be here soon to see her. What should we do?"

Gu Liuye said, "Now we have no choice but to ask Doctor Li to see her."

Zhao Ma Ma said in despair, "I have begged the master countless times, but the master does not want Doctor Li to see me. He always says that he will wait until the gates of the mansion are open before asking the imperial physician to see me."

Master Gu Liu said, "Do you think your master can survive until then?"

Aunt Zhao burst into tears.

Master Gu Liu said, "At this point, we can only use Li to save the dead. If you really want to save Xu, then do as I say. People with ability have tempers. Xu refused to take Doctor Li's medicine, and Doctor Li was unwilling to endure the humiliation of seeing her. My third brother and I didn't know how much effort we put in to coax her. Xu's life is now in your hands..."
