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

Chapter 359 I Understood

By the time Gu Jinghui arrived, everyone had already started talking about other things.

"Mom, my sixth brother's wife isn't feeling well right now. I think we should hold a family recognition party sooner rather than later."

Qin Yuan's words were exactly what Gu Jinghui wanted.

He said from outside the window: "Madam is right. It is better to get this done quickly."

Master Gu Liu lowered his head, followed him, and immediately said, "Yes, I'm afraid Xu won't survive for a few more days. The director of the courtyard said that we should delay it as long as possible."

He was determined to sue the Xu family. Xu had not lived long to begin with, and now she would not live long.

After hearing what her two sons said, Madam Gu didn't care about anything else and hurriedly said to Qin Yuan, "Yuan'er, mother has handed all the matters over to you. There is no need to hold a big celebration for the recognition of relatives. The two children are not under the third son's family, nor are they in the ninth room. If it was in the past, it would be fine, but under the current situation, we can only make do with it."

As they were talking, Lord Gu and Lord Gu Liu walked in after opening the curtain.

Gu Baozhu raised her handsome eyebrows slightly and asked anxiously, "Third brother, Sixth brother, have we sued the Xu family?"

Lord Gu just looked at Qin Yuan and said, "In my opinion, it would be better if our two families had a feast together to recognize each other as relatives. It would be better if they went there earlier. It would just be a different courtyard to live in. It would be no different from usual. Brother Cheng and Sister-in-law Cheng both like children and will treat them well."

Qin Yuan was a little hesitant and said, "Is it too... When others talk about it in the future... Sister Cheng also asked if we should ask the Ninth House and the elders of the clan to be witnesses?"

Lord Gu shook his head, "No need. If we want to invite them to a banquet, don't we have to invite them a few days in advance? Besides, the two children are just fostered next door, and they are not to be recorded in the family tree. Why invite the clan members to come and participate? If we want to invite more people to make it more lively, why not invite a few generals who are familiar with Pang Hai to be witnesses."

Master Gu Liu interrupted, "When Third Brother brought them into the mansion, he didn't open a ancestral hall to record it in the family tree. Now there's no need to do that. Just let colleagues come and be witnesses."

After that, he snorted and continued, "In my opinion, even this is unnecessary. Third brother thinks that he values ​​you, but others may think that he underestimates you."

Mr. Gu Liu was in a bad mood and his words were not very pleasant, without any regard for his third brother's face.

Lord Gu frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can people think that holding a family recognition banquet is an underestimation?"

Master Gu Liu walked a few steps, sat next to Gu Baozhu, and said sarcastically, "If you don't hold a banquet, your subordinates will still regard them as the Marquis's adopted sons; if you hold a banquet, won't it be no longer the case? Even though they are children, they can understand it. Who knows, they will blame you for announcing to the world that you want to get rid of them in the future."

Upon hearing this, Gu Baozhu immediately agreed: "Sixth brother is right. When third brother brought the people back, the people in the mansion couldn't figure out their identities. They spread rumors that they might be third brother's children and concubines. Otherwise, Zhao Shi wouldn't be so powerful."

Those rumors can't be blamed solely on her.

Even if she was wrong, there was a reason for it.

Lord Gu was silent, his face gloomy. He glanced at Qin Yuan and said after a while, "I was wrong before. When I recognized these two children in Saibei, they were still in mourning. I didn't pay attention to them and only told a few familiar people around me. That's why many things happened. Now that they are out of mourning, it's a good time to deal with it."

Gu Liuye showed a mocking expression and sneered, "Yes, do it quickly. It will be better for everyone if we declare who owns it as soon as possible."

Gu Baozhu was smart enough not to respond.

Qin Yuan continued, "My Lord is right. Inviting some brothers to have a drink can be regarded as clearing the name of the two children and giving them an explanation."

Madam Gu nodded, "That's it, let's hold the family recognition banquet tomorrow. If it's recorded in the family tree in the future, we can hold a grand banquet later. The missing ones will be made up tomorrow."

The final word. Gu Baozhu asked again: "Did Sixth Brother really sue the Xu family?"

Master Gu Liu said, "Yes."

Gu Baozhu slammed the table so hard that the tea in the cup spilled out, and shouted, "That's the way it should be, or I'll be so angry that I'll die."

Qin Yuan felt amused and angry at the same time, but she didn't know what to say to her, so she just silently waved the round fan in her hand. Lord Gu, who was sitting next to her, had a cold expression on his face, and he just raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at her.

Master Gu Liu also looked at Gu Baozhu with disdain. Because she was defending him, he swallowed the words of criticism that were about to come out of his mouth and responded, "Isn't it true? You don't want to make money to save face. Do you think the Xu family is so easy to step on? I didn't let them spit out the previous advantage because of Xu and the children. But they are not satisfied. If that's the case, let's just be shameless."

With the last sentence, Mr. Gu Liu's handsome and gentle face was filled with hostility, and his voice was frighteningly cold.

Madam Gu sighed, "You guys can do whatever you want. Sixth brother, don't act on impulse. Discuss with your third brother. When Kang'er and Fu'er come back, let them move in with me. It's a sin to lose their mother at such a young age."

Master Gu Liu calmed down and said, "Mother, I will remember this."

Madam Gu also instructed: "When you teach the Xu family a lesson, don't go too far, even if it's not for the sake of the children. Sixth son, you will have to marry in the future, so don't ruin your reputation. If you can't marry a good woman to be the housekeeper, it will ruin the fortune of your children and grandchildren. Don't be reckless."

Hearing this, Master Gu Liu burst into tears: "Mother, I can't think about so much right now. Xu is dead, and I have to observe mourning for her. I will talk about remarrying after the mourning period is over."

The tears that fell quickly soaked the front of the clothes embroidered with cloud patterns.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Looking at her haggard and depressed little son, Madam Gu said weakly, "All is up to you, all is up to you, stop crying."

The few of them had their meal with heavy hearts. After leaving the upper room, Gu Jinghui asked Master Gu Liu, "How long do you plan to stay?"

Master Gu Liu did not even raise his head, but with his hands behind his back, he slowly spoke: "Three years."

"?"

Gu Jinghui and Qin Yuan were both shocked.

Gu Jinghui pressed on: “Don’t you dislike the Xu family? Why do you need another three years? One year is considered abiding by the rules.”

Ordinary families would remarry within a year. If one waited for a year before remarrying, he would be considered a good husband. If one waited for three years, everyone would say that the couple loved each other deeply.

It would be fine if Sixth Brother and the Xu couple were really in love, but it is not the case.

Once the mourning period is announced, it means that you will have to stay away from women for three years.

If it were me, ten years would be fine.

Sixth brother?

Is he okay?
"I have figured it out. If I marry again, I must find a good woman. Otherwise, it is better not to marry. The children will observe mourning for Xu for three years, and I will study with them. When they take the imperial examinations in the future, I will devote myself to writing poetry and painting, and never hang out with those scholars again."

After hearing these words, Gu Jinghui and Qin Yuan both widened their eyes in shock.

After a while, Gu Jinghui said, “Sixth brother, a gentleman’s word is as good as his bond. Think about it carefully before you speak. If you are determined to do so, Third Brother will not stop you.”
