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

Chapter 239 Just Because I'm a Family Member

Gu Jinghui said nothing and glanced at Gu Shiliu.

This is what Gu Shiliu explained to Gu Jingjun. Gu Shiliu patiently said, “Sixth Master writes poems and paints, and only associates with scholars. He doesn’t know what those gamblers are like when they are crazy about gambling. Many of them want to make a comeback and end up going bankrupt, selling their children, and some even lose their wives. When they don’t have money, there are moneylenders willing to lend them money, but the interest rate is several times higher than outside, and some are even rolling in the ground…”

Gu Jingjun was frightened.

He had always been weak and had been brought up under protection. When he went to a brothel, he only drank wine with the romantic scholars and would never dare to do anything else.

Because he looked gentle and considerate and had a good family background, he was very popular with women. Countless women threw themselves at him, and several of the concubines in the mansion were attracted by him in this way.

Mr. Gu Liu gained a reputation as a playboy and a dandy.

In fact, this playboy was quite a dandy man. He neither went on a horse or gambled nor went to visit prostitutes. He just liked to hang out with other scholars and do some elegant things like boating, visiting prostitutes, etc.

After a long while, Gu Jingjun finally asked in a trembling voice: "They, they actually do this kind of business that will destroy your family lineage?"

Gu Shiliu said: "This high-interest loan is almost the same as usury. If you get caught, it will be fatal. I am worried..."

"Just say it directly," Gu Jinghui said.

“Yes, Sixteen, you say,” Gu Jingjun said angrily, “I want to see how lawless the Xu family can be.”

The Xu family is truly ruffians and a poor family, it's absolutely true.

The more Gu Jingjun thought about it, the more he hated it.

"I am worried that the Xu family not only lends money in the casino, but also lends money at high interest rates outside. I am afraid that it has something to do with the Sixth Madam."

After Gu Shiliu finished speaking, he lowered his head and hands, waiting for his master to speak.

"Xu!"

Mr. Gu Liu slammed the table in anger.

His tender white palms were hurt by the thick nanmu table, but he didn't care. He just looked at his third brother eagerly, waiting for an idea.

Gu Jinghui pondered for a while and said, "If that's the case, it will be troublesome."

"Ah?" Mr. Gu Liu waited for a long time and got nothing but this, and he cried out in disappointment.

Gu Jinghui glanced at his sixth brother and said with some disdain: “You stay at home all day and can’t control your sixth brother’s wife. You really are…”

Gu Jingjun stammered, “Third brother, how could I know she was so bold? She took some money and used it to support her parents’ family. Mother didn’t care about her. She just thought it was better to have less trouble than more. The mansion didn’t lack money, so she didn’t care about that. I was unhappy, so I made trouble with her and asked her for money to spend. But I really didn’t expect her to do such a thing. As a woman, what does she need so much money for? The mansion has never lacked her. It’s not like the Xu family is starving. Why would she do such a conscienceless thing?”

Gu Jinghui knew that what he said was true.

How could someone who doesn't even understand the difference between usury and loan sharking think that his partner would be so bold as to do such things?

But this is not a reason not to scold him.

Because Lord Gu has always wanted to scold him.

Gu Jingjun was vomiting a lot and wanted to cause trouble for Madam Gu Liu, but he was frozen by the cold eyes of his third brother.

"Sixth brother's wife, you need to take good care of yourself. Let's find a way to end this matter among ourselves and don't mention it in front of others."

"……All right……"

Although he was unwilling, Mr. Gu Liu had no choice but to swallow it.

He returned to his room angrily. As soon as he entered the door, he went straight to the inner room, threw himself on the bed, and sighed, "From now on, I can only study hard. I was looked down upon by the third brother, and now because of Xu, I am even more useless in his eyes." The servant didn't know what happened, so he comforted him, "Sixth Master, the old lady and the Marquis both love you. The Marquis looks cold, but everyone in the mansion knows that the Marquis values ​​his family the most. The Marquis killed countless people on the battlefield. Who wouldn't be afraid of him, but you and the Seventh Miss dared to challenge him."

Gu Liuye remained silent. After a while, he turned over and asked, "Third brother, is it only because I am a member of the Gu family that you care about me?"

The servant didn't know how to respond to this.

But Master Gu Liu did not seem to be asking the servant, and he continued, "What are you thinking about? I was born into the Gu family. My third brother is not Qin Siyuan. Hey, I am afraid that if my third brother meets a military commander that suits his heart, he will regret not meeting him earlier and would like to swear brotherhood in Taoyuan and recognize him as a brother of a different surname. He might think that being close to him is much more useful than being close to his own brother."

Boy: "..."

After listening to Sixth Master Gu mumbling for a long time, the dazed servant said, "I don't understand what Sixth Master is saying. Sixth Master and Marquis grew up together. Who can compare to this blood relationship?"

Master Gu Liu was stunned. He thought about it carefully for a while, then sat up and said, "Yes, you are really smart. In my third brother's eyes, the only one who can compare to me is my third sister-in-law. Third brother and I are brothers, so we can't cause trouble at this time."

Then he sighed again: "If Xu had a share of what my third sister-in-law has, why would I be so upset?"

He complained deeply in his heart, but couldn't say it out loud.

This marriage was chosen by his own mother, who was attracted by the fact that the Xu family had many sons and thought that Xu would be easy to give birth to.

His third brother took his anger out on him, and he could do nothing about it.

After all, the Xu family is his in-laws' family, and Xu is his legal wife with whom he has children.

But he also knew that if his third brother told him, he would be able to help him sort it out and avoid any future trouble.

After complaining, Mr. Gu Liu took out the album, looked at it carefully, and put everything else behind him. He just hoped that one day, his third brother would see his abilities.

The crazy Mr. Gu Liu didn't know that his third brother also had a lot of troubles, otherwise he wouldn't have taken his anger out on him.

"Is Doctor Liu dead?"

Gu Shiliu said: "Almost."

Gu Jinghui nodded and said indifferently: "You know everything you need to know, right?"

"His explanation was quite clear. He just wanted to have a good death. He said he hoped to die as an imperial physician. The emperor might be willing to reward his family."

It also has a good reputation for being righteous, and it will also make it easier for the descendants of the Liu family to work in the Imperial Medical Service.

Gu Jinghui said in a cold voice, "Then ask him why Doctor Li could cure smallpox but couldn't cure him? If he can figure it out, I will agree with him."

Gu Shiliu also knew that before opening the palace, the Marquis' Mansion had to submit a memorial to the imperial court.

If Imperial Physician Liu had not died, the Marquis's Mansion would have to ask for credit for him. If they could not find a suitable reason, I'm afraid the Marquis would really not allow Imperial Physician Liu to rest in peace.

"Doctor Li is willing to take out his ancestral prescription just to protect the Marquisate from criticism. I am already feeling uneasy that I cannot claim credit for Doctor Li. How can I let Doctor Li suffer criticism for him?"

Gu Jinghui thought clearly that this memorial was not easy to write, otherwise Qin Yuan would not have delayed taking it out for so long.
