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

Chapter 387 Fortunately, the Marquis is ill
Chang Qingling stood up and bowed, smiling softly, "It's okay. There are many people coming and going in the Marquis' Mansion, so it's possible that Madam can't take care of it for a while. I was supposed to sit for a while and then leave, but I didn't expect to get along well with Madam Lin, so I stayed for a while longer."

Lin Ziqi held no official position, but for the sake of the Marquis's Mansion, everyone still respectfully addressed Qin Wan as Madam Lin.

Chang Qingling spoke in this way and was very appropriate. Even if Qin Yuan disliked her, she had to give her some face for Qin Wan's sake.

What's more, Qin Yuan had no reason to treat her badly.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "I see. I didn't expect that you two could get along so well. It can be considered fate."

After both of them sat down, they were about to ask some polite questions such as where they lived and whether they were used to the capital, when Gu Baozhu came over and asked, "The Chang family is a military family. Madam Lin and my sister-in-law are both from the Qin family. They have been well-read since childhood. I wonder what sister Chang and Madam Lin talked about that made them so compatible?"

Her handsome eyebrows were slightly raised, her eyes were wide open, and her eyes were full of curiosity. Anyone could see that Gu Baozhu really wanted to know the answer to this question.

Qin Wan, who was sitting nearby, felt her face getting hot for some reason. She tried to hide it by picking up the teacup and gently stirring the tea leaves.

Chang Qingling was stunned for a moment, and stammered, "It's just some girlish gossip."

Gu Baozhu was a little disappointed, but still asked, "What kind of gossip is that?"

Everyone: "..."

Qin Wan twisted her body uneasily.

I was so excited just now that I inadvertently revealed a lot of things about Qin Yuan and the Marquis' Mansion. Now that I have been questioned several times, I feel that it is inappropriate. If Qin Yuan knows about it in the future, I am afraid there will be some trouble.

Chang Qingling was a little annoyed, but she didn't dare to get angry, so she could only evade the question, "Sister Gu is still young. If I were to gossip with you, it would probably be about the Qiqiao Festival, polo, and the like. We women only talk about those things. Wait until you are older before listening."

She was a married woman, and Qin Wan was also married. Although her words were a bit rude, she could still get away with it.

But Gu Baozhu was not such a thin-skinned person. She still stared with clear eyes and said bluntly: "I don't believe it. Most of our Gu family members are martial artists. Only the sixth brother likes to write poems and paint. There are not many people in the family who can chat happily with the sixth brother."

Qin Yuan couldn't help but cough.

Chang Qingling and Qin Wan's faces looked a little stiff.

Gu Baozhu looked at Qin Yuan obediently and explained quickly: "Third sister-in-law, I, I just want to know what topics a woman from a military family and a man from a scholar family can talk about."

These words gave Qin Yuan a headache.

Chang Qingling's eyes rolled slightly, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled, "Oh, Sister Gu's words are puzzling. Could it be that Sister Gu and Madam have nothing to talk about?"

At the same time, he deliberately looked at the two people in front of him.

Qin Wan glanced over sideways, a smile on her lips.

Gu Baozhu didn't hear the hidden meaning, and hurriedly said, "Sister Chang, how do you know? My third sister-in-law is in charge of the affairs inside and outside the mansion, and she is busy all day. I want to get close to my third sister-in-law, but I can't find a good topic. I don't know what my third sister-in-law is good at, and I'm afraid my third sister-in-law hasn't learned what I know, so I asked Sister Chang and Madam Lin for advice. I hope you can teach me."

Qin Wan felt very complicated after hearing this.

In her previous life, this spoiled sister-in-law had always stood firmly on the side of Madam Gu Liu and Zhao, but she didn't make things difficult for her. She disappeared a few years after she got married.

She also knew that Gu Baozhu was just a spoiled little girl, and she didn't have any bad intentions. But how did Qin Yuan win over Gu Baozhu?

Chang Qingling smiled again and said, "It turns out that I misunderstood Sister Gu. However, Madam has been in the mansion for half a year. How come you are not very familiar with your sister-in-law?"

Qin Yuan was about to speak, but unexpectedly, the always simple-minded Gu Baozhu suddenly got angry and said sternly, "You are such a boring person. It's ok to be careful and keep secrets, but you keep trying to sow discord between me and my third sister-in-law. I tell you, my third sister-in-law and I are very good friends. We are the best in the world. Don't waste your thoughts. Do you think you are a fool who can't hear it or something? You are the smartest person in the world."

Qin Yuan: “…”

It turns out that Gu Baozhu knew that someone was trying to sow discord between them.

Chang Qingling naturally didn't want to accept the reputation of being a troublemaker, so she forced herself to ask back, "You're already number one in the world, so why don't you know what topic to talk to your third sister-in-law about?"

Gu Baozhu put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "What do you know? My third sister-in-law has only been married for a short time. My mother and third brother said that I have great talent in embroidery, so they locked me up for several months to let me concentrate on learning embroidery skills so that I could show off my talents at the Qiqiao Festival. But a few days after I came out, my sixth sister-in-law died again. How could I have time to chat with my third sister-in-law? My third sister-in-law is beautiful and good at managing the household. She is deeply loved by my mother and third brother. Of course I have to get close to such a good sister-in-law. She is the best in the world."

This passage is said without hesitation.

Qin Yuan almost believed it.

Not only Qin Yuan wouldn't believe it, Qin Wan wouldn't believe it either.

It's no secret that Gu Baozhu never touches a needle, but she still shows off her charm at the Qiqiao Festival, which is enough to make people laugh.

Qin Yuan had to come out to smooth things over.

"Madam Chang, Sister Baozhu is childish, please bear with her. She is just very curious and likes to get to the bottom of things. If I have offended you in any way, I will apologize to you on her behalf."

The way she tried to smooth things over was extremely embarrassing.

But we have to fight.

Although Gu Baozhu is a little bad at reading people's expressions, Chang Qingling also has her own problems. Qin Yuan was a little annoyed and stopped calling her Miss Chang.

Chang Qingling of course understood this, and her expression looked rather grim.

Qin Yuan was just about to ask the nanny beside Gu Baozhu to coax her back, but Gu Baozhu got angry at Chang Qingling again and said with a stern face, "I know my third brother was engaged to your eldest sister, but it didn't work out. That was many years ago. Now my third brother has married my third sister-in-law, so you'd better not visit her as much in the future."

Not to mention others, Qin Yuan was shocked by her words.

Which unmarried girl would speak like this?

Gu Baozhu is really bold.

Chang Qingling was not one to be beaten for nothing, she said sharply, "Sister Gu is young and doesn't know the seriousness of her words. I won't bother with you, but Madam Hou must give me an explanation. I'm not the kind of weak woman who allows others to bully me, so don't worry about your nonsense. Today I just came to pay my respects because of the friendship between our two families. If this is how you treat guests, I'm afraid no one will dare to come to visit in the future."

Qin Yuan quickly winked at Dai, and they both tried to persuade Chang Qingling, "Baozhu is young and ignorant. She must have heard some bad words from somewhere. You should be magnanimous and not take it to heart. Stop arguing with her. Let's go somewhere else and have a cup of hot tea."

Chang Qingling did not move, and sneered in front of everyone: "Fortunately, the Marquis is ill, otherwise if Sister Gu said this, others would think that I had some bad intentions towards the Marquis."
