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

Chapter 392 I'll Pay for the Meal, Okay?

The Ninth Princess got into the car angrily and cursed, "What's so great about that? You still have to marry a poor boy."

The prince couldn't help laughing: "Mother, this is a good move."

She has been praised for more than ten years, but her marriage has not been successful at all.

The King of Qi and his sister must have been so angry that they were beating their chests and stamping their feet in private.

The Ninth Princess looked up and asked, "Is this to pave the way for my brother's marriage?"

The prince nodded, "Yes, you are very smart."

The three dukes and nine ministers were unwilling to marry their legitimate daughters into the Eastern Palace, so Empress Lin paved the way for him by marrying Princess Fuyun to a young man from a poor family.

No matter what the final result is, he will not be embarrassed.

The alliance between the Prince of Qi and Fu Yun's husband's family is weak.

The Ninth Princess sneered, "We are the beloved children of the Emperor. Why should they compete with us? Fu Yun only has a title, but they think she is the most noble and favored princess. It's really unreasonable. If I want, I can ask the Emperor to give me as many titles as he wants."

My mother is dead and my mother's family is defeated, yet I still think I can turn things around. Ha!

……

Qin Yuan had been busy all day and had just returned to Wutong Garden. Before she could even sit down, Rong Mama came looking for her.

"Madame Rong, please take a seat," Qin Yuan hurriedly ordered the maid to make tea, and then asked someone to bring an embroidered cushion for Madam Rong to sit on.

After sitting down as instructed, Rong Mama laughed dryly and said, "Madam has been tired all day. I shouldn't have come to visit you at this time, but..."

Qin Yuan had guessed the purpose of the visit and asked, "Is it because of the quarrel between Madam Chang and Sister Baozhu?"

Grandma Rong nodded.

"Yes, the old lady was very upset when she found out."

Qin Yuan said, "Seventh sister was a little irritable, but Madam Chang did do something wrong. I was standing by and didn't keep an eye on her. It was my fault. In the end, I had to let Seventh sister's wet nurse coax her back. Did she go to complain to mother? She has such a childish temper that mother is also unhappy."

Rong Madam said, "Madam, you don't know that although the Chang family has a history with the mansion, that was in the past. Over the past ten years, they have not visited each other. The old lady didn't want to have anything to do with the Chang family in the first place, not to mention that Madam Chang left the Chang family and stayed in the capital for unknown reasons. She just didn't want to make things too awkward by paying attention to her. If Madam Chang doesn't come, then she won't have any contact with them."

Since Old Madam Gu didn't blame the two youngsters for making a scene in the mourning hall, then she must be concerned about something else.

But Aunt Rong didn't know how to say it directly.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "That's good. In my opinion, Madam Chang was wrong. Sister Baozhu offended her, but our Marquis did not. But she said that, which really trampled on the reputation of the Marquisate. I will never forgive someone who believes everything she hears. Since mother doesn't like her, you don't have to care about her in the future."

Rong Mama's depressed expression suddenly brightened up, and she asked loudly, "Is what Madam said true? Is Madam Chang really farting?"

After saying this, Rong Mama realized that it was indecent, smiled and patted her face gently, saying: "This old servant forgot about the moment and said some vulgar words, Madam, please don't mind it."

Qin Yuan smiled and pushed the teacup towards Madam Rong, saying, "Madam, have some tea. This is the new maple dew tea. It needs to be brewed several times to be delicious. They brewed it this afternoon. It's rare for Madam to come and sit with me. After you drink it, we can talk slowly."

Rong Mama took a sip as instructed and nodded, saying, "Not bad, good tea, well brewed." Qin Yuan then said softly, "The Marquis is indeed itchy."

Rong Mama couldn't drink her tea anymore.

Qin Yuan continued, "Doctor Li has seen it and said that the Marquis was infected with a cold pathogen in the northern frontier before, and his meridians are blocked. He needs to take good care of himself for a period of time before he can recover."

Madam Rong stared at Qin Yuan, holding her breath, and only breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the last word.

"It's good if it can be cured."

Qin Yuan comforted him, "The Marquis felt unwell before, and he happened to meet the hospital doctor who came to see him, so he asked a few questions. I don't know how it got spread like this, which is really puzzling. Madam, don't worry. Doctor Li is a great doctor, and old lady Qi can almost see. Besides, this is just a minor problem, and it will heal slowly."

How slow this is depends on her mood.

Seeing Qin Yuan was as steady as a rock, Rong Mama was completely relieved and said with a smile: "Amitabha, as long as you two can be fine. Miss Seven went back to the upper room and cursed. The old lady was very nervous after hearing it. She wanted to ask someone to find you but was afraid that others would see and gossip, confirming the rumor. I don't know what kind of bastard spread it outside. It's so vicious. He should be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell and have his tongue pulled out. I will go back and talk to the old lady about it."

As he said this, he stood up in a hurry without even bothering to drink his tea.

Qin Yuan hurriedly got up to see her off, but Gu Jinghui had already lifted the curtain and strode in.

Madam Rong saw with her own eyes that Lord Gu looked calm and walked briskly, not looking like he was in any condition, and she felt more at ease.

Lord Gu asked, "Why is Rong Mama here? What do you want, mother?"

Rong Mama waved her hands quickly, "Nothing. I came here to chat with Madam. She has been staying in the mansion for many years and hasn't been out much. We didn't know that they had come to the capital until the Chang family came to visit. Madam wanted to take Madam out for a walk after the funeral was over. I just came here to sit and talk."

Lord Gu said "Oh", and it was unclear whether he believed it or not.

At this time, Aunt Rong couldn't care less about him. She wished she could rush back to tell the old lady the good news.

After Rong Mama left, Gu Jinghui asked, “Yuan’er, what are we having for dinner?”

It's as if nothing had happened.

Qin Yuan frowned and asked calmly, "Does the Marquis want to eat here? My sixth brother is very sad. I think you should go to the outer courtyard to eat with him. What if my sixth brother is too sad to eat and has no strength to eat during the funeral?"

Gu Jinghui laughed dryly a few times, "How can it be so?"

Qin Yuan was calm: "Good people are always good, so you should spend more time with my sixth brother."

Gu Jinghui had been avoiding her these past few days, not sending any messages back, which made her feel very uneasy. If she hadn't been busy with Xu's funeral, she would have made trouble for him a long time ago.

Now he has come to my door himself. It is true that if there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, then you will end up in hell even though there is no door.

It's not her fault.

Gu Jinghui frowned, his usually stern face full of helplessness, and asked in a wronged and uneasy manner: "Is it not okay for me to just accompany Madam for a meal? Why is Madam so stingy? I... I'll pay for the meal."

Qin Yuan sneered, "Of course, it's just that the small kitchen doesn't have a share for the Marquis, and now there's nothing to do. The Marquis just let Sixteen take the clothes and said he wanted to accompany Sixth Brother, but why did he go back on his word? What will people say if they know about this? After all, the Marquis is a man of his word, isn't he? The Marquis is a man of his word and his actions are fulfilled."
