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

Chapter 381 Know it well
But Qin Yuan didn't expect that Qin Wan was so incompetent. It had only been a short time since she was bullied by Old Lady Lin.

Qin Yuan sighed slightly in his heart. Cui had been worried about Qin Wan's marriage for two lifetimes.

She thought that Qin Wan could at least hold on for a while longer.

Qin Yuan relaxed his waist and leaned softly on the pillow. He looked at Qin Wan and said lazily, "You don't know, my sixth brother's wife has been ill for a while. The director of the Imperial Hospital has long asked us to make preparations. Now they just issued a card and asked them to hurry up and make arrangements according to the previous plan. The Imperial Observatory said that the funeral will be held in three days. There will be no visitors in the next few days. The people who come and go are all relatives and in-laws. We mothers have time to talk, but after the funeral, I'm afraid we won't have time to breathe. What's the matter with that cousin? Has she arrived at the Lin family?"

Qin Wan's face turned pale and she lowered her head in frustration.

In front of Qin Yuan, she couldn't tell him about the disputes in the Lin family, but Cui didn't want to hide it, so she said, "They are here. They said they would come not long after they got married. Later, they heard that there might be a smallpox outbreak in the capital, so they postponed it. Otherwise, they would have come a long time ago. Now, Madam Lin has another helper."

Qin Yuan had experienced Lin Ziqi's cousin in her previous life. She looked weak and fragile, but was actually sarcastic and mean, and got along very well with Lin's mother.

Qin Wan hesitantly explained, "My cousin's marriage in the countryside didn't work out. She looks gloomy and listless all day long. My mother-in-law was worried and told her to come to Beijing to find a good marriage. Maybe she can become Ziqi's arm in the future. So we gave her some money, and we also hope that she will think of us well."

Cui said angrily, "You paid the money, but they only care about your mother-in-law and your brother-in-law, and they may not take your kindness seriously. These are just small matters. From what you said about your cousin, I'm afraid she is not a kind-hearted person. If she stays at home for a long time, I'm afraid she will cause trouble."

Qin Yuan nodded.

Lin Ziqi's cousin was indeed very bold. She had followed them in choosing a son-in-law when they were in office. She was picky and looked down on everyone, and finally climbed into Lin Ziqi's bed.

Qin Wan said: "Mother, I know what's going on."

Cui was very angry, "Okay, okay, okay, you know what's going on, and I'm the one worrying about nothing."

Qin Wan said hurriedly, "Zi Qi is a filial son. He told me to obey my mother-in-law for the time being. When he passes the imperial examination and becomes an official, my mother-in-law will naturally stop being so fussy. Zi Qi is talented and smart, and he will definitely be successful in the future. Now that I have married into the Lin family, I will follow him wherever he goes. When he becomes a high-ranking official, I will be a royal lady. These little things are nothing."

Cui wanted to say something but stopped.

Qin Yuan laughed secretly in his heart.

Qin Wan still has the beautiful dream of becoming the prime minister's wife in the future. Can't she see that everything is different now?

Qin Yuan said, "In the next spring exam, my cousin and my brother-in-law should both pass. I don't know how to choose an official position then. Also, I don't know what my second aunt thinks of my cousin's marriage."

Cui smiled and said, "Your father said so too. They will definitely pass the imperial examination next year. I just don't know how high their rank will be. Recently, I heard your father praise Siyuan for his rapid progress. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely pass the second place."

In his previous life, Qin Siyuan's ranking was at the bottom of the second class, and Lin Ziqi was seventh in the second class. He was indeed right.

Qin Yuan asked: "Is there any news about my cousin's marriage?"

"A while ago, the family of Minister Ding of the Ministry of Revenue wanted to marry into the family. His daughter read that poetry collection and was attracted by Siyuan's talent. Your second aunt wanted to agree as soon as she heard about it, but your father said it would be better to wait until Siyuan passed the imperial examination before discussing it, so she postponed it for now."

Minister Ding of the Ministry of Revenue? He was a high-ranking official, and he took the initiative to ask someone to discuss marriage for him, which showed that he was very optimistic about Qin Siyuan.

This collection of poems is a good bargain.

Qin Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking to herself that she must do a better job in order to create momentum and fame for Qin Siyuan and Gu Liuye.

Qin Yuan waved the plain fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Dad has high expectations for my cousin. I'm sure my cousin will rank higher."

Cui nodded happily.

If Qin Siyuan can have a good future, Qin Heng can also benefit from it.

Speaking of the Spring Examination, Qin Wan's face became much better. She glanced at the two of them secretly, with a hint of "I am the only one sober while everyone else is drunk." Qin Yuan: "..."

The Cui mother and daughter sat for a while, then went to the Sixth Madam's courtyard, talked with Old Madam Gu for a while, and agreed to come back another day before saying goodbye.

Cui and Qin Jijiu were in the same carriage, so Qin Yuan ordered someone to harness the carriage and send Qin Wan and Lin Ziqi back.

Qin Wan did not refuse. She sat in the car in a daze waiting for Lin Ziqi to come out.

In her previous life, she was not liked by Madam Gu, and could not compete with Zhao. Gu Jinghui ignored her and only protected the mother and her two children.

Although Madam Gu Liu was the wife of a concubine's son, she had the rear quarters of the Marquis's mansion firmly in her hands, and with a sweet face but a bitter heart, she had put countless obstacles in her way.

After being reborn, my scalp tingled at the thought of facing both Mrs. Zhao and Madam Gu Liu.

She never wanted to live those dead days, living like a silent shadow again.

She no longer wanted that cold husband who only had eyes for Zhao's mother and son.

So, she chose Lin Ziqi.

But after being reborn, many things were different, which made her feel uneasy.

Qin Yuan was very capable in her previous life, and Lin Ziqi often publicized her reputation as a loving wife and a good manager of the household, but was Qin Yuan a little too capable?

In just a short time, he had taken control of all the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. Not only did he drive out Zhao, he also got rid of the twins, and even killed the troublesome Madam Gu Liu.

Why is Qin Yuan so smooth?
In her previous life, she thought it was a den of wolves and dragons, but Qin Yuan felt like a fish in water.

Qin Wan looked out through the corner of the car window in panic. Lin Ziqi had already walked out of the mansion and was greeting housekeeper Cao. He had a friendly expression and a smile on his lips. There were also several members of the Gu family surrounding him.

In her previous life, she would not have bothered to respond to this question at all. Qin Wan couldn't help but frown.

After finally waiting for Lin Ziqi to get in the car, I saw that his warm expression had gone cold.

It can be seen that Lin Ziqi is not very happy in the Marquis' Mansion.

"Husband, shall we leave now?"

Qin Wan softened her voice.

"Let's go," Lin Ziqi suppressed his impatience and asked, "Did my sister say anything?"

Qin Wan said, "Sister is now in charge of the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion, how could she have time to chat with me?"

Lin Ziqi said, "Don't stay at home all the time. Go out with your sister more often. I heard that your brother-in-law is in charge of the imperial examination now. The three dukes and nine ministers are all trying to make friends with your brother-in-law. You are my wife, and I have to rely on you for all the social skills."

As he said this, he took Qin Wan's hand and stroked it gently.

Qin Wan leaned towards Lin Ziqi and complained in a soft voice: "You also know that my mother-in-law doesn't allow me to go out, and even doesn't let me go back to my parents' home more often, so how can I visit my sister more often?"

Lin Ziqi put his arm around her shoulders and soothed her, "It was not easy for mom to raise me. I remember all your kindness in my heart. Please give way to mom for my sake. I will go back and talk to mom. If she is worried about you going out alone, how about letting your cousin accompany you?"
