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

Chapter 357: Sister-in-law, please keep your word

Qin Yuan went into the inner room and took a look. Behind the bed curtain, Madam Gu Liu, who was as thin as a feather, was covered with a bright red quilt, which made her skinny face look as yellow as gold paper. Her lips were white with a hint of black, and her eyes were tightly closed. Only after a long while could one see her chest rising and falling slightly.

Obviously, he will not live long.

Gu Baozhu rushed in and almost screamed out in fear from what she saw.

Qin Yuan sighed, it was indeed possible to postpone it for only a few days.

Although I had expected it, it was still painful to see.

After leaving the inner room, Qin Yuan ordered someone to quickly invite Master Gu Liu, and began to plan how to handle the funeral. He also thought about asking the prosecutor to come and confirm it as soon as possible.

Master Gu Liu hurried over, his face showing no sadness, he just said: "This is her fate, the petition has been submitted to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, the prosecutor should come to inspect it in the next two days, Third sister-in-law does not need to worry about this matter, it will be handled by Cao Guanjia."

The director of the courtyard remained silent, but pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Qin Yuan had no intention of hiding it. Since he was going to report it to the authorities, he could not hide it. So he asked, "Should we call our nephews back so that they can take care of him by his bedside?"

The implication is that children should spend more time with their mothers to avoid any regrets.

Gu Liuye sighed, "It's all up to Third Sister-in-law. I can't think of these things now."

Qin Yuan nodded in agreement.

Mr. Gu Liu usually doesn't care about anything, so naturally he doesn't know how to do anything now. All he can do is to do his job of filing a complaint.

Qin Yuan immediately ordered someone to go to the Imperial College to ask for leave for his two nephews, asking them to go home and take care of the Sixth Madam. He then asked Gu Baozhu to tell Aunt Rong so that the old lady could be mentally prepared.

All other funeral matters must also be prepared to avoid confusion at that time. Fortunately, there are old precedents for these, so we can just follow them.

Qin Yuan made up his mind, and the Dean had already written a prescription: "For the time being, let's try it out. This is the only way I can do since I am not very knowledgeable."

Qin Yuan said, "Your Excellency cannot be blamed for this. We followed the doctor's orders and took good care of her. We didn't dare to let Seventh Sister spend too much time with Sixth Sister-in-law because she was young and we were afraid she would say something wrong. But Sixth Sister-in-law's mother-in-law came and made a scene. She almost died on the spot. This is really a misfortune for our family. Please forgive me, Your Excellency."

"Who doesn't have difficult sutras to recite?" After listening to the gossip for a while, the director of the courtyard tactfully prepared to leave. Before leaving, he asked, "That day, the sixth lady fainted from anger. How did you save her? What medicine did she take before that?"

Qin Yuan responded randomly, but she also knew that the Dean had noticed Doctor Li, so she said, "There was a banquet in the mansion that day, and Sixth Sister-in-law was in a mess. Later, Sixth Brother was the one who took care of her. I don't know who was invited, but no matter who it was, she still came to see you in the end. Sixth Sister-in-law also believed in you. When the mansion was sealed, Sixth Sister-in-law didn't want others to treat her, and she kept waiting until the mansion was opened and you were invited. It's a pity that she couldn't survive in the end."

The director was skeptical, and seeing that Qin Yuan was busy, he didn't ask any more questions.

Qin Yuan ordered someone to send the Dean away, and in front of Sixth Master Gu, she called Madam Zhao over and asked, "Have you thought it through? The Dean said that Sixth Brother's wife can be delayed as long as possible. Sixth Master has ordered someone to deliver the petition, and the young masters will also be brought back from the Imperial College to serve Sixth Madam. I'm afraid we have to prepare for the funeral. If you have any concerns, you might as well tell us. If we can arrange it for you, we will do it for you."

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhao burst into tears. Master Gu Liu sat at the head of the table and said nothing.

Qin Yuan sighed, "Even now, the Xu family is still holding on to Xu Zhen's matter. They are sacrificing pawns to save the king. Just think about it. If the Sixth Master is cursed in the future, what good will the young masters get? The Sixth Master is young, and he will never stay away from marrying for the Sixth Madam. If there are no more dowries left from the Sixth Madam, what do you think? You helped take care of these children, how can you bear it? Do you want the young lady to have a bad reputation when she grows up? She is a daughter who lost her mother, how can she withstand these rumors?"

When a person dies, it is like a light going out. Nothing is left and it is the living who bear the brunt of everything.

Nanny Zhao stared blankly and said, "But if the Sixth Master sued the Xu family, the Sixth Madam's reputation would be ruined. Who would lend money at high interest and move the husband's money to her parents' home, only to be cheated out of it by her parents' home in the end?"

The implication was that since they were going to be penniless anyway, they might as well keep a good reputation so that the Xu family might remember it and treat the children better in the future.

Qin Yuan didn't know whether Nanny Zhao had any selfish motives in this, but as long as Nanny Zhao was willing to speak up, it would be easy.

Qin Yuan said calmly, "What's so difficult about this? Madam Six knows nothing about these things. It's all the subordinates who are doing evil and colluding with each other. As long as the Gu family doesn't pursue it, the government won't force the Gu family to hand over their own servants for punishment. I can promise you now. As long as you can help Master Six win the lawsuit, no matter what you did with Madam Six, I will never take your life and abandon you."

Nanny Zhao lowered her head. Qin Yuan could not see her expression, but could only see her disheveled hair. When she raised her head again, her expression had relaxed a little, and she was no longer as steadfast as before.

Qin Yuan felt relieved when she saw this.

Madam Zhao gritted her teeth and said sternly, "Does Madam's words count? What do the Marquis and Sixth Master think?"

Master Gu Liu hurriedly said, "What Third Sister-in-law said counts. Third Brother has handed over all matters in the mansion to Third Sister-in-law to handle. Third Brother said this matter is my family affair and asked me to handle it myself. I will listen to Third Sister-in-law's arrangements for all matters in the backyard."

Aunt Zhao snorted coldly, disdainfully mocking, "That's right, Sixth Master has always been a careless person. He wouldn't even help if a bottle of oil fell over, so how could he care about these things? It's a pity for our young lady. She has worked so hard for Sixth Master and the Xu family, and in the end, she has ended up like this."

At the end, Madam Zhao's sobbing became louder and louder, and she finally fell to the ground crying. After twitching for a while, she suddenly straightened up and said, "I will obey Madam. I hope Madam will keep her word."

Qin Yuan said, "Don't worry. If not for Sixth Brother, I will also make this matter right for the sake of my nephews and nieces."

With tears in her eyes, Madam Zhao kowtowed to Qin Yuan several times and stepped back.

Master Gu Liu stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I will have to trouble you with everything in the future."

This means that all matters related to the funeral will be handed over to her.

Qin Yuan sighed, "Mom is old and Baozhu is still young, so I should be the one taking care of her. Sixth brother, don't take it to heart. Just live a good life in the future and take good care of the child, and you will be worthy of your sixth brother and his wife."

Mr. Gu Liu nodded in agreement.

Qin Yuan brought Hongye back to Wutong Garden. Hongye couldn't help but sigh. Although she didn't like Madam Gu Liu, no one wanted her life.

Hongye asked, "Miss, can Miss Seven keep her words to herself?"
