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

Chapter 244 A match made in heaven

Doctor Li's heart sank, knowing that Doctor Liu was dead.

Xiaodong withdrew his curious gaze, went straight to the room where they lived, threw the two bundles on the bed, and shouted, "Master, come and try on these clothes to see if they look good."

Doctor Li was not interested, so he stopped him and asked, "What happened today?"

Xiao Dong smiled and said, "I knew that Master would ask me. It was just that Brother Qi's mother heard something and asked me to go find Gu Shiliu. Maybe Doctor Liu asked the gatekeeper to do something taboo."

"That's it?"

Doctor Li was suspicious.

Xiaodong nodded frantically and said, "Of course that's it. Brother Qi's mother said that I was still a child and shouldn't get involved in adult matters. She just asked me to go look for Gu Shiliu and that was it."

Doctor Li frowned and thought hard.

Seeing that Xiaodong stopped asking questions, he jumped to the bedside and checked the package.

Doctor Li had a lot of clothes and the package was big. When he opened it, he found two sets of clothes, everything from inside to outside, from head to toe.

Xiaodong said, "Sister Cuiming asked us to leave later, saying that there was a smallpox outbreak a while ago and people were in a panic. Now the maids in the sewing room don't have much work to do, so it's a good opportunity to make a few more clothes for us."

Doctor Li asked, "It's just a message, why is the Marquis going to so much trouble?"

Xiaodong respected Lord Gu the most, nothing else, and he stood up straight immediately and said seriously, "Master, Lord Gu has always been clear about gratitude and resentment. It seems a small matter to us, but it is definitely a big deal to the Lord. Imperial Doctor Liu wanted to harm the Lord, and the Lord wanted to kill him. Brother Qi's mother was blind but still cared about the master, and the Lord was willing to spend a lot of money to treat her. It's just a different standpoint and different feelings."

Doctor Li was stunned for a moment and asked, "How did you learn all these, kid? Who taught you?"

Xiao Dong was also stunned. He frowned and thought for a while, then said, "No one taught me. I just followed my master into the Marquis' Mansion and met many people, so I knew it. Am I wrong?"

As he spoke, he clenched his two little hands nervously.

Li Lang didn't know what was going on in his heart, and said slowly: "There's nothing wrong, it's just..."

Just what?

Doctor Li was a little confused.

It seemed that he tried to show Xiaodong something later, but Xiaodong understood it very early.

Whether it is good or bad, it is hard to say. Even though he has spent most of his life adhering to his own ideas, he cannot say that they are definitely right.

After so many years, it seems that there are many things that cannot be solved.

Because he is just a small person who goes with the flow.

But even a big shot like Lord Gu is surrounded by dangers.

Xiaodong said, "That's good. My stance is that of my senior sister and my senior sister's husband. My senior sister's husband is a god of war and a great contributor. My senior sister is so good to us. If anyone wants to harm my senior sister and my senior sister's husband, he is definitely a bad guy."

Doctor Li said unhappily, "How old are you? You've only met a few people. Get out of here. Don't you have good news to tell Brother Qi and his mother? Go and tell them. Let them not sleep tonight."

No one can sleep, so why not sleep together?

Xiaodong exclaimed, "I actually forgot such an important matter. I'm going to go, Master, you have to wait until I come back to try the clothes on the bed."

Before he could finish his words, the man had already jumped out.

Doctor Li originally wanted to scold him and tell him not to be so sincere, but suddenly he remembered that Brother Qi's mother had sharp ears. What if he learned to speak Chinese? Anyway, he would be leaving the house in a few days, so it would not be too late to teach him a lesson then.

Soon, a sharp cry was heard in the yard, and Doctor Li hurried out. "Stop crying, crying too much will hurt your body. This is a happy event, you should be happy."

The blind woman stretched out her hand with blue veins exposed in the direction of Doctor Li, as if she wanted to grab something. She tried her best to stop crying and choked up, "Doctor Li, can I still see with these two eyes?"

Doctor Li gestured to Xiaodong to help the man up, and then said, "The Marquis said that he would cure your eyes no matter how much it costs. It is still possible to save you now, but if you keep crying, you will hurt your liver meridian."

The old woman cried and laughed, "I didn't want to live before, I couldn't stop crying every day, but later I realized it was too late. I was a burden to my poor little son. It's a pity that he is so young and he has to think of ways to take care of me. For him, I have to live well."

After that, he threw away his crutches, knelt in the yard and kowtowed several times, muttering: "Master, I will repay your great kindness by working like a slave."

Brother Qi is still unable to get out of bed and is lying in the room crying and laughing.

Doctor Li pulled Xiaodong back to the house with mixed feelings, and he couldn't help but feel both respect and fear for Lord Gu.

……

Wutong Court.

After Doctor Li and Xiaodong left, the room suddenly became quiet.

There was only the sound of clearing away the cups and dishes.

Hongye and Cuiming also retreated. One called a maid to pour tea, and the other asked someone to fetch water for the master to wash his hands and face.

Gu Jinghui stared at Qin Yuan's snow-white, curved neck with his sharp black eyes for a long while. When he saw that everyone had left, he asked, "Yuan'er, have you finished drafting your memorial?"

Qin Yuan did not even look up, her delicate hands fiddled with the abacus, her voice extremely cold: "Not yet, is the Marquis anxious?"

"Why not?"

Gu Jinghui couldn't help but put his tongue against his lower teeth and chuckled. He then moved closer and stretched out his hand to pinch Qin Yuan's delicate wrist. His fingers gently brushed across her skin, causing the rough calluses to tremble.

Qin Yuan didn't look up.

She didn't want to look at him right now.

Gu Jinghui asked again: “Is it that Yuan’er doesn’t know how to write it?”

Qin Yuan responded from his throat after a long while.

The door curtain was lifted slightly, then immediately retracted.

It was obvious that the maids were frightened and retreated.

Gu Jinghui slowly stroked Qin Yuan's slender fingers and whispered, "Let's say that Imperial Doctor Liu died on the day Doctor Li entered the palace. Because of the prevention of smallpox, he was cremated into ashes."

Qin Yuan couldn't help but tremble.

“Are you scared?” Gu Jinghui raised his eyelids, his thick eyelashes hiding the obscurity in his eyes.

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "He should have thought of this, but... Doctor Liu dared to go into the tiger's den, so he must have been prepared. If he had contracted smallpox and someone else knew about it, how could he cover up the lie?"

Gu Jinghui was very satisfied. He continued to lower his eyes and play with Qin Yuan's fingers. He squeezed his fingers into hers one by one and clasped them tightly. He chuckled and said, "Yuan'er is still my favorite. Your master sat with a stern face all night. Maybe he is a kind-hearted doctor and blamed me for killing too many people. But you are thinking about how to cover up your lies. We are really a match made in heaven."

Qin Yuan rolled her eyes at him and said nothing.

Gu Jinghui said, “Then please take the trouble to write another secret memorial to state clearly that this person was conspiring with Yelu Guzha. I also have a confession signed and sealed by him, which I will present to you later.”
