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

Chapter 248 Really Naughty

Seeing that Lord Gu looked a little dazed again, Qin Yuan knew that he had always had some problems, so she didn't say much and went into the courtyard of the upper house.

Gu Jinghui followed closely.

The gatekeepers looked at each other secretly and found that the Marquis was a little different after getting married.

Everyone burned incense and washed their hands as usual.

Xiao Hong came out with a look of joy on her face, with two little chirps wagging behind her head. "Madam, you haven't been here for a few days. It really feels like a long time since we last met."

Hongye smiled and said, "It seems that you only have eyes for the lady."

Xiao Hong said, "Sister Hongye, please stop making trouble. Xiao Hong and Madam have something important to say."

Her serious look was quite funny, but since Lord Gu was here, everyone had to endure it.

Qin Yuan said, "If you have anything to say, just say it right here. Could it be about Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er? The Marquis is here too, let him listen too."

Gu Jinghui was in a hurry to come to the upper room for breakfast, just for the twins.

Xiaohong has been watching for these few days and I think she has discovered something.

It’s a good opportunity for Lord Gu to listen to it as well.

After everyone walked a few steps forward and got away from the two women, Xiaohong whispered, "My Lord and Madam, Xiaohong has been watching from afar these few days and found that Young Master Cheng and a widow named Yang in the yard have close contact. There is no one at home, so because the old lady is kind, she stayed in the yard to watch over the door at night."

This is a bit strange.

Qin Yuan asked: "Did Mrs. Yang have much contact with you in the past?
Xiao Hong said, "She has always been a loner and seldom interacts with others. I have been here for such a long time, and I have never said a few words to her. On weekdays, she always has unkempt hair and wears haphazard clothes. It was because she took the initiative to take night duty that no one cared about her. I don't know how she suddenly got along with Master Cheng."

Qin Yuan had a vague guess in his mind.

Lord Gu looked unhappy and said, "I'll ask later."

Qin Yuan smiled and didn't say anything.

Xiao Hong bowed and begged for mercy, saying: "Then please don't say it was me who said it, my lord.

Lord Gu smiled and nodded.

Xiaohong was happily leading the way, so Qin Yuan asked, "Where's Zihe? Does she have anything to tell me?"

Xiao Hong said, "Sister Zihe is in the room with the two of them. What I said is what Sister Zihe wanted to say."

Qin Yuan understood.

They both felt that something was wrong with Mrs. Yang. Since Zihe was not available, they asked Xiaohong to deliver the message first.

Xiao Hong continued, "Sister Zihe tried to get close to Old Lady Yang several times, but she always avoided him and kept her head down when she spoke. Sister Hongye said to keep a distance and not let anyone see anything wrong. Sister Zihe couldn't think of a good way to flirt with her. I saw Master Cheng talking to Old Lady Yang several times, but he disappeared as soon as he approached. Master Cheng is not so close to other old ladies."

Qin Yuan asked: "When did they become close?"

Xiao Hong thought for a moment and said, "It was about a while ago, after the mansion was sealed.

Lord Gu's expression became even uglier.

Before entering the house, Qiu Ju came up and pulled the curtain, chuckling, "The old lady is really looking forward to the arrival of the Marquis and the Madam. They have been complaining about not being able to eat these days."

Qin Yuan also smiled and said, "Mom, are you missing us? We are also thinking about your small kitchen."

From a distance, Madam Gu smiled and asked, "Is Yuan'er here?"

"Yes, mother, we are here," Qin Yuan replied with a smile.

The twins came up to greet them. Lord Gu raised his hand lightly and let them stand up.

Qin Yuan looked at them coldly. Neither side was as intimate as before.

Madam Gu pulled Qin Yuan over to chat with her, and Lord Gu sat aside and listened calmly, occasionally smiling, but not talking to the two children. The twins also behaved a lot better, sitting quietly at the bottom, no longer sticking to Lord Gu.

Zihe stood behind and served cautiously.

Qin Yuan saw this and thought to herself that the twins had been somewhat neglected in the upper room these days.

Madam Gu was only concerned with talking about Madam Gu Liu's condition: "This child is too worried. I'm afraid her body won't be able to handle anything in the future. She's already like this at such a young age. I'm afraid..."

Although he didn't finish his words, everyone could hear that he was worried that Madam Gu Liu might not live long.

Qin Yuan said, "Let Doctor Li take a look at Sixth Brother's wife first. When the house is reopened, we can ask the Imperial Hospital to come and take a look. Who knows, maybe they can find the right treatment, but she will be fine when they get there."

Madam Gu said, "I hope so. One of them is missing and the other is sick. I don't know how to explain this to the Xu family."

Gu Jinghui frowned and said, “Mom, we have done nothing wrong, so it doesn’t matter if we talk about it. Xu Zhen was staying at the Marquis’ Mansion and sneaked out without telling the owner. How can it be blamed on the Marquis’ Mansion if he got lost?”

Madam Gu just sighed.

Rong Madam said, "My Lord, I don't know. The old lady is worried that the Xu family will make too much noise. If they make too much noise, the rumors outside will kill people."

Qin Yuan said, "Mother, are you worried about the reputation of the Marquis? Fortunately, the Marquis's Mansion has reported the Xu family's matter to the authorities, and there are prosecutors to question and judge the case, so they won't go too far."

Cheng Ge'er was listening with his ears perked up.

Qin Yuan suddenly smiled at him and asked, "Cheng Ge'er, what do you think?"

"Me, stepmother, Sister Yu and I are still young, what can we understand?"

Cheng Ge'er shook his head hurriedly.

Madam Gu also said, "Yuan'er is just naughty, why scare him? But these words should not be said in front of children. They don't know the seriousness of the matter and imitate others. It will be bad if others hear it."

Because of the princess's visit to the mansion, Old Madam Gu also became wary of the two children.

Qin Yuan said, "Mother is right. After all, they grew up by the side of the Marquis and would not deliberately spread the news. It's just that people outside have complicated minds and they are young and can't avoid being taken advantage of."

Cheng Ge'er lowered his head, wishing he could shrink so that no one could see him.

Madam Gu seemed to be thinking about something.

Gu Jinghui's eyes when he looked at Qin Yuan were also meaningful.

The breakfast was very quiet.

Taking the handkerchief from the little girl, wiping his hands and rinsing his mouth, Lord Gu said, "Mother, I will take them to the room over there to talk."

Madam Gu waved her hand and said, "Go, go, I'll have a good talk with your wife, and you don't have to come over to talk to me after you leave."

A look of disgust.

"The old lady has forgotten her son now that she has a wife. I really feel sorry for the Marquis," Aunt Rong stood up and joked.

Everyone laughed.

Qin Yuan took advantage of the situation to hug Madam Gu tightly and said coquettishly: "Mother is so good to me. If the Marquis is upset and bullies me in private, mother must take charge of the matter for me."

Madam Gu laughed and said, "My son, if he dares to bully you, just tell me and I will beat him so hard that he can't get out of bed."

Qin Yuan smiled at Lord Gu again: "Did Lord Gu hear that?"

Lord Gu gritted his teeth and smiled, then turned around and took the twins to the next room.

Cheng Ge'er asked: "Godfather, have you found my mother?"

Yu Jie'er called out, "Mother, where is mother? Godfather, I miss mother so much."

Lord Gu said with a stern face, "Now that there are no outsiders here, you must answer properly and not lie to me. Is it possible?"
