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

Chapter 254 Stepmother and Stepfather
"Is the Marquis going to send you away? I haven't heard of it." Qin Yuan frowned and said softly, "Cheng'er, tell me, why does the Marquis want to send you out of the mansion?"

This was true. Lord Gu did not tell her how to place the two children.

Everyone looked at Cheng Ge'er.

Cheng Ge'er lowered his head, his face flushed, and his chest heaving violently.

It seems impossible to say it.

Yu Jie'er's sobbing became louder and louder.

Madam Gu couldn't help but frown.

Qin Yuan then held Sister Yu on her lap, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and coaxed her softly, "Sister Yu, tell me."

Sister Yu was choking with sobs and unable to speak.

Cheng Ge'er stood up suddenly and said stiffly, "That's what I said."

"My foster father said that because of my mother, it is not good for us to live in the mansion. He asked us if we have any relatives to rely on. If not, he would find a family to foster us."

Qin Yuan didn't expect Lord Gu to be so direct.

With a plop, Cheng Ge'er knelt down and said, "Stepmother, Yu Jie'er and I are still young. We didn't know better and said some unpleasant things. We hope that you can forgive us. Please intercede for us in front of your stepfather and let us stay. We will behave ourselves in the future and never do it again."

As he spoke, he pulled Yu Jie'er down and said, "Sister, kneel down with me and beg our stepmother. If she agrees, we can stay in the mansion."

Both children knelt on the ground, looking at Qin Yuan eagerly.

Everyone present looked a little unhappy.

This is simply saying that Qin Yuan cannot tolerate these two children, so Lord Gu wants to send them away.

Hongye rolled his eyes.

Qin Yuan remained silent.

Master Gu Liu spoke up, "My third brother is right. Everyone in this mansion knows what your mother did. That kid named Qi stopped you and didn't fight back, but was beaten up like that. You still said that he was looking down on you and refused to apologize. It's better for my third brother and his wife to come and apologize in person, otherwise we don't know what others will say about our mansion behind our backs. If you ask me, you haven't seen the real dog looking down on people yet."

After a pause, he continued unhappily, "Your mother was well fed and well cared for in the mansion. Not only did she leave for no apparent reason, but she also did such evil things, causing my wife and children to become ill. Thanks to my sister-in-law's support, no one died in the mansion. I don't bother with you, not because I am well-mannered and broad-minded, but because your father saved my third brother's life. But considering what your mother did, your father has repaid my third brother's kindness."

The two children lowered their heads but still knelt stubbornly.

Madam Gu frowned and said, "Alright, alright, you shouldn't say these things in front of the children. It makes them so sad. Whatever your third brother plans to do, he has his own reasons. You and your sister-in-law can't make the decision for him. He has always been stubborn. No one can refute his decision, not even me."

Yu Jie'er burst into tears.

Cheng Ge'er also choked up and asked, "Grandma doesn't love us anymore?"

"Why wouldn't I love you?" Old Madam Gu sighed, "After sending you away, your adoptive father is still your adoptive father, and your grandmother is still your grandmother. We just can't see each other often. I still love you in my heart. Good children, get up quickly, and don't make things difficult for your adoptive mother. Today is a good day for your sixth uncle, and everyone should be happy, okay?"

Old Madam Gu was troubled and felt very regretful that she should not have asked the two children to join in the fun.

Rong Ma came to help them and said, "The old lady originally thought that since you were leaving soon, it would be good for you to get closer to everyone. How did it become like this? No wonder Sixth Master is unhappy. Good boy, stop it. What will happen if the Marquis sees it when he returns?"

As they were making a fuss, they heard Lord Gu's voice: "What are you doing?"

His voice was cold, as if he was suppressing his anger.

Qin Yuan looked up at Lord Gu, and sure enough, his expression was cold, and his narrow, sharp eyes flashed with cold light. She then kept silent.

Lord Gu said again, "You are making a scene in the hall, while Sixth Brother's concubine and children are standing outside watching. What a scene!"

Gu Liuye felt a little aggrieved, so he complained: "Third brother, mother read my poetry collection and said that I have started to learn to do serious things and hold a family banquet for fun. Look at what they are doing, they are deliberately making things difficult for me."

Lord Gu frowned and glanced at him.

Master Gu Liu shut up in grievance.

Lord Gu greeted Old Madam Gu, then asked Cheng Ge'er, who was kneeling on the ground, "Why are you kneeling in front of your stepmother?"

Brother Cheng stiffened his neck.

"If our stepmother doesn't agree, we won't get up. Our stepfather loved us a lot before, but now he thinks we are doing something wrong no matter what we do."

The implication of this statement is quite interesting.

It seems like an accusation that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather.

Lord Gu's cheek twitched, and he said coldly: "This is my decision, and it has nothing to do with your stepmother. I have told you everything I should say. Sending you out of the house is also for your own good. Your food, expenses, and marriage prospects will all be considered by your stepfather. Get up quickly, and don't let others laugh at you."

Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er knelt down and hugged Lord Gu's calves, crying and making a fuss. In the end, Qiu Ju and Zi He pulled them away. The scene was quite ugly for a while.

After Lord Gu comforted Madam Gu, he sat down beside Qin Yuan dejectedly and said, "It's all because of me that I spoiled them. Their mother didn't teach them well. How can I face Pang Hai in the underworld?"

Before Qin Yuan could say anything to comfort him, Master Gu Liu said, "Third brother, shouldn't it be Zhao who said this? You are busy with military affairs, how often can you see them? These two children were raised by Zhao herself, and they became like this. It's not you who is sorry for Pang Hai, it's Zhao."

Qin Yuan gently placed her hand on Lord Gu's knee, tilted her head and smiled, "Sixth brother is right. Now that it has come to this, it is useless to say anything more. It is better to settle them down and find someone to enlighten them."

Lord Gu looked better and whispered, "I am not only sad about this. Sixteen went to test the old woman in the dungeon, but I didn't expect that she could trick him into revealing a lot of information. I will tell you in detail when I get back."

Qin Yuan thought to herself, no wonder Lord Gu looked so unhappy and his attitude towards the twins became even colder.

In all likelihood, this old lady Yang is the nanny who served Zhao.

And Cheng Ge'er has always known about it.

With all this commotion today, who can tell how much truth and how much falsehood are contained in it?

"Madam, Sixth Master's concubines and children are still standing outside and don't dare to come in. Should we start the feast?"

Aunt Rong gave a timely reminder.

"Okay, they've been standing outside for so long, come in quickly."

Several concubines and children of Master Gu Liu came in one after another, greeted each other, and then sat down next to Master Liu.

Qin Yuan had never seen them when serving tea, and she had only heard of them after being in the mansion for so long.

I took a closer look today.

In Madam Gu Liu's courtyard lived two concubines who had been taken in earlier years. Concubine Huang had a daughter, and the other one was originally Madam Gu Liu's maid, but now she had no children and was not favored.

The ones in front of me all live alone, and those who have children keep them with them.
