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

Chapter 384 Nonsense
Hongye said, "This was sent by Gu Shiliu, and was painted by the Marquis."

"Oh?"

Cui Ming looked closely.

A fat horse with a pair of fleshy wings. If it weren't for the horse's head and hooves, it would look like a fat old hen.

"……This is……"

Cui Ming was puzzled and looked up at Hongye.

Hongye turned around and held up a cup of honey water, saying, "Miss, I know you are tired and I am afraid you will get angry. Drink this."

Cui Ming took it and drank it all.

Still I couldn't help but ask: "What is this for?"

The tiny Pegasus only took up a small corner of the paper and didn’t look like a painting.

Hongye whispered, "It has nothing to do with you. This is the emblem that the Marquis asked Miss to embroider on her clothes."

Cui Ming was very puzzled.

"…This…Why is this necessary…"

It doesn't look good at all.

Why do you want to embroider this on clothes? If others see it and ask about it, won’t it ruin the lady’s reputation?
And it takes a lot of effort to make both the horse and the wings.

Qin Yuan had already finished washing up and came out to listen, and then said, "My Lord is just in a spur of the moment mood, let's leave it there, I will ask him after the funeral is over."

Cui Ming nodded heavily.

Even the embroiderers in the needlework room would not want to embroider this thing, let alone a young lady. It is simply incomprehensible.

In the next few days, all the members of the Gu family came to pay their respects, and members of the Xu family also came every day, as if they had no intention of making enemies.

Manager Qian also asked Manager Han: "The Xu family's father and son came so attentively, are they going to stop making trouble?"

Butler Han said, "Who knows what they are up to? Maybe they are planning to cause trouble in public after announcing the death. Anyway, we should be prepared. I can see that Master Liu has no intention of dropping the case."

There is no intention to withdraw the case, which means that the Marquis' Mansion will pursue the case regardless of whether the Xu family sues or not.

Manager Qian responded, "I also think we shouldn't let them go. Although we need to let Sixth Madam rest in peace, if we don't investigate, wouldn't it encourage the Xu family's bad habits? When Sixth Master marries a new wife in the future, they might come to make a scene. And there's also the matter of the young master and the young lady."

There are so many ties here.

The Xu family is not really a good family.

Butler Han said nothing.

Lord Xu was so thick-skinned that he didn't feel anything. Madam Xu felt very uneasy in the back house.

Mr. Gu Liu, Qin Yuan and others treated them indifferently, not rude but not enthusiastic either.

They were the host family, so they went about their business when they met. No one else spoke to them, so Mrs. Xu could only sit there and listen to what others were saying. Mrs. Gu Liu's children also avoided her. However, Mr. Xu brought his son with him, and he was thick-skinned, so he felt more at ease.

Because the formal funeral was held the next day, all relatives, old friends, colleagues and distant relatives were going to come to pay their respects, so everyone left early. Lord Xu stayed behind and took advantage of an opportunity to stop Mr. Gu Liu and talk to him in a corner.

"Brother-in-law, I've been pretty good to you."

Gu Liuye took a half step back, his peach blossom eyes widened, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, and asked coldly: "I wonder what my uncle is referring to?"

He wanted to see how the Xu family, who had taken advantage of the Marquis's Mansion and falsely accused him, had the nerve to say such things.

Lord Xu ignored his indifference, smiled, and leaned in and whispered, "If I hadn't mentioned it in public that day, how could my brother-in-law have an official position? The Marquis's Mansion is not short of money, nor is it short of connections. Over the years, if you wanted to, you should have donated an official position for your brother-in-law. After all, your brother-in-law is a bastard. No matter how much the Marquis takes care of you, how devoted can he be?"

Mr. Gu Liu said nothing, just stared at Lord Xu coldly.

Lord Xu added, "My sister has made a lot of money since she married into the Marquis' Mansion, but she has also made many plans for you. I am thinking about you for the sake of my sister and my nephews. Now the Marquis' Mansion is controlled by your third sister-in-law. It is not the time when my sister was in charge of the backyard. You have to take care of such a big family business. As the saying goes, a good man needs three helpers, and a fence needs three stakes. If you are willing, we Xu family will help you."

Master Gu Liu sneered, "Did you take the wrong medicine or drink too much? Doesn't my third brother have any children?"

Lord Xu smiled proudly and said, "Why are you pretending to be so ignorant in front of me? It has been spread all over the world that the Marquis was fighting in the northern frontier and injured his vital organs. I am afraid it will have some problems with his offspring. You also know that swords and guns have no eyes. If you are injured, there is no way even Hua Tuo can do anything. You are the Marquis's closest blood relative. If we want to adopt someone, it will naturally be your son. You already have two legitimate sons, so one of them must be passed on to the next generation."

Mr. Gu Liu was both shocked and angry.

"Stop talking nonsense here. My third brother is in good health. Who spread these rumors?"

Lord Xu sneered and said, "There is no smoke without fire. It's useless for you to try to cover it up."

"Fart! What nonsense!"

The gentle and soft Mr. Gu Liu was furious and trembling with anger.

Lord Xu said, "Who are you trying to hide this from? Has your third sister-in-law got any news so far? If your third brother was a capable person, your third sister-in-law would have made some moves long ago."

Master Gu Liu angrily said, "You shameless fellow, what are you talking about here? If it weren't for the Xu family's kindness, I would have had you kicked out long ago."

Lord Xu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Don't you know anything? No wonder, I see that Qin Jijiu is very satisfied with Lord Gu, so I guess he was kept in the dark. I'll tell you the truth, Lord Gu went to the hospital for treatment, and the news has spread to the palace." He paused and lowered his voice, "You also know that our Xu family has a daughter in the Prince of Jin's mansion. When His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin knew the news, we naturally knew it too."

Mr. Gu Liu listened to his convincing talk and felt suspicious, with his expression changing from time to time.

Seeing this, Lord Xu added more firewood and said, "If you remarry and have another son in the future, he will not be as noble as the original wife's legitimate son. I think the Marquis's Mansion will be either Kang'er or Fu'er. You have never been involved in things, and I am afraid you will not be able to stand up to your third brother and his wife. I am the uncle of the children, can I harm them?"

Master Gu Liu angrily said, "Asshole, is it the Xu family's turn to interfere in the affairs of our Dingbei Marquis Mansion?"

His voice became sharp and piercing.

Lord Xu stepped back a few steps and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. Don't yell either. It would be bad if your third brother heard it. If you don't believe these words now, find someone to ask around and you'll know whether they are true or not. Then you can come find me again. We are relatives, so why should we be unhappy over a little money? Don't you agree?"

"Get out! I told you to get out! If you keep talking nonsense here, don't ask me to call my third brother to deal with you," Master Gu Liu collapsed and shouted.

Master Xu rolled his eyes, turned around and hurried out. When his two sons who were waiting outside saw him coming out, they hurriedly came over and asked, "Dad, has your uncle been persuaded?"

"That idiot is just a fool. He doesn't believe it now. He will know whether what I said is true or not after a while." Lord Xu spat and said, "Look at his crazy look. If he hadn't run fast, he would have come to beat me."
