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

Chapter 311 Banquet (Part )

Seeing her say that, Cui Shi couldn't leave anymore, so she smiled and said, "This is my first time attending a banquet at the Marquis' Mansion, and I don't know many people here. The old lady and the mistress are the hosts, and they are too busy to entertain the guests. We just happened to meet and chat here."

Dai said immediately, "I am from the ninth branch of the Gu family. My husband works in the Military Department, so I don't have much chance to visit the Marquis' Mansion on weekdays. Today, I saw many unfamiliar faces. If it weren't for the Marquis's understanding, we wouldn't have the chance to be neighbors with the Marquis' Mansion."

One sentence explained the whole story clearly. Qin Jijiu was not of high rank, and Cui had a lot in common with her. After a few words of small talk, the two of them got along even better.

Qin Yuan knew that Dai was concerned about the matter of twins, so she mentioned it briefly.

Dai smiled and said, "My master has no children, so having a child would make things more lively. To be frank, we live next to the Marquis' Mansion, so we are closer to the Marquis' Mansion than other clansmen. This is a blessing that no one can envy. As for the child... we will naturally respect the Marquis' Mansion in everything."

It was obvious that Dai had already found out everything and was here to show his loyalty.

Qin Yuan naturally would not disappoint Dai's kindness, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, we are all relatives, and now for these two children, we are even closer. Although their biological mother has some problems, the Marquis still remembers the kindness of the two children's biological father. Now this arrangement is also because he thinks that Brother Cheng and Sister-in-law are stable people."

Gu Jinghui did not agree with her proposal, but she had never given up the idea of ​​using the twins to get Zhao out, so she made many hints in her words to let Dai know the attitude of the Marquis' Mansion towards the two children.

Dai's expression relaxed, and she said with a smile, "My Lord is really grateful. My master often praises my Lord for his ability to command troops and love his soldiers like his own children, which is why he was able to achieve such great success. I only heard about it before, but now that I see how my Lord treats his two children, I understand his broad mind and character. No wonder my master praises him so much."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "My Lord also felt that Brother Cheng and Sister-in-law were honest and prudent, so he entrusted the two children to them."

Dai's face was full of joy, and she said happily: "Oh, oh, I really don't know what to say. When I get home, I will tell the master and make him happy too."

After they chatted for a while, Hongmian came over and pulled Hongye aside to whisper something. Hongye came over and said, "Madam, the Sixth Madam wants you to come over and talk to her."

Qin Yuan glanced at Hong Ye: "..."

Well, what could Sixth Madam want to find her for at this time?

Qin Yuan turned to Cui and Dai and said, "Mother, Sister Cheng, I have something to do here. After you finish admiring the flowers, go to the pavilion. There are tea and snacks there. You can rest your feet. If you want to talk to someone, go to the middle of the garden. The old lady is sitting there."

Dai said hurriedly, "Madam, just go and do your work. Madam Qin has me by her side, so she won't feel wronged."

Cui also said, "I am having a great time chatting with your sister-in-law Cheng, just go and do your own thing."

Cui originally wanted to talk about Qin Wan's matter, but now was obviously not the right time, so she gave up the idea.

Qin Yuan walked away with Hongye and Hongmian before asking, "What happened?"

Hongye looked at Hongmian and said, "Tell me in detail."

Hongmian then spoke.

"Mrs. Xu went to Sixth Madam's place and was stopped by Nanny Zhao. I don't know what she said, which disturbed Sixth Madam. She said that Sixth Madam was so angry that she vomited blood. Both Nanny Zhao and Mrs. Xu were crying."

Qin Yuan’s eyes went dark.

Hongye was very angry and said angrily, "How big of a deal is this that it has to be such a big deal today. The old lady said to hold a banquet to drive away the bad luck, but she had to make such a fuss that she vomited blood. It's like she can't wait even a day. Madam Zhao is so old, and she's still so unreliable."

Qin Yuan said in a very light voice, "What could possibly make Madam Zhao uneasy?"

Hongmian came closer and whispered mysteriously, "It's all about the money. Madam Zhao has been almost driven crazy by those housekeepers who have joined the family these days. I heard that the pepper was bought by the Xu family. Madam Zhao may want to ask the Xu family to return the money."

Qin Yuan didn't say anything. Hong Ye suppressed her anger and asked curiously, "The Xu family should just return the money after selling the pepper. There are losses and gains in business. The housekeepers can't afford to lose. Isn't it enough to return the money to them after the Xu family sells the pepper? Why did they make Sixth Madam vomit blood?"

Hongmian is a family-born child and knows more.

"Madame Zhao goes out whenever she has the chance, and every time she comes back she is covered in dirt. It's obvious that she is not treated well by the Xu family, otherwise she wouldn't be so anxious to grab Madam Xu and make a scene."

Qin Yuan asked: "What is the Xu family planning?"

Hongye said: "You will know only when you go there."

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Hongmian, quickly go find someone to invite Doctor Li from Renhe Hall. Have them come in through the corner gate and go directly to the Sixth Madam's courtyard. Don't let anyone else see them."

Hongmian nodded.

Qin Yuan added: "When you go, hurry back to find me."

Hongmian nodded even more vigorously.

Qin Yuan took Hongye to the Sixth Madam's courtyard in a hurry. On the way, Hongye couldn't help asking, "Could it be that the Xu family doesn't trust Aunt Zhao and is unwilling to sell the pepper at a loss?"

Qin Yuan said: "It's hard to say."

Hongye asked: "Is there any other reason?"

Qin Yuan said: "Think about it, why did the Xu family want to suppress the matter of Xu Zhen and not break up with the Marquis' Mansion?"

"Isn't it because of the things we gave to the Marquis? The Sixth Madam has made a lot of money over the years, and the Xu family has benefited a lot."

"Then do you think the Xu family is unwilling to give up the Sixth Madam, or unwilling to give up the Marquis' Mansion?"

Hongye was a little confused and couldn't answer.

Qin Yuan sighed: "We'll know when we go and take a look later."

After a while, Hongmian also caught up. They rushed to the Sixth Madam's yard and heard mournful crying before they even entered the door.

After walking a few steps inside, I saw Aunt Zhao sitting on the hall porch, slapping her legs and crying without any image, and yelling: "You are really heartless. How much money did the Sixth Madam give you? Do you only care about money and not people? You have lost your conscience. Is this how you treat my sister-in-law? Are you worthy of your parents-in-law in the afterlife?"

Madam Xu was blocked in the hall, her hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn and wrinkled, her face looked angry and a little ferocious, and the maids and old women she brought with her were also trapped by the people in Madam Six's courtyard and could not leave.

"What's going on here?"

Qin Yuan frowned, with some guesses in mind.

Before Madam Xu could say anything, Nanny Zhao had already climbed up from the ground, rushed over, and said, "Madam, please save Sixth Madam quickly. Sixth Madam was so angry that she vomited blood just now. If Sixth Madam dies, I will not live either."

Qin Yuan hurriedly said, "Get up and talk properly first. I have already sent someone to get a doctor on the way."

Aunt Zhao opened her eyes wide and shouted, "Please ask Doctor Li from Renhe Hall to come. The doctor's prescription is useless."
