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

Chapter 393 A tacit understanding
"Cough cough."

Lord Gu didn't know how to respond.

After coughing, he still had nothing to say.

Even a dumb person could tell that what he did in the past few days had angered her.

Lord Gu said: "Well, I... I can explain..."

The clever Hongmian had already ordered the kitchen to deliver Qin Yuan's dinner.

Lord Gu watched as cups, plates, bowls and dishes were brought out one by one and filled up the small table. There were many kinds of dishes, exquisite and unique, but the portions were very small, only enough for one or two chopsticks.

It was indeed as Qin Yuan had just said, only enough for one person.

If he used it, it wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

The soft flesh on Lord Gu's cheek twitched uncontrollably. Oh my god, now he didn't even have the topic to make a fuss about.

Seeing him like this, Qin Yuan suppressed the smile that was about to appear on his lips and said, "My Lord, I am going to have my meal. Please see..."

"Why call me Marquis? Call me husband."

Lord Gu corrected angrily.

Qin Yuan readily agreed: "Okay, husband, I'll eat first, you..."

Lord Gu said with hatred: "It doesn't matter, I'll just watch you use it."

"How can that be possible? Why don't you go to the outer courtyard to accompany Sixth Master? Sixth Master already has enough food allotment. Besides, if you move to the outer courtyard, the kitchen will get the news and will naturally be equipped."

Lord Gu snorted, crossed his arms over his chest, and widened his eyes.

"Just do your thing. Can't I just stay by your side and talk to you?"

Qin Yuan said softly, "Okay, of course, but wouldn't it be better for you to talk after you've had your meal? Food won't taste good if it's been sitting out for too long, and eating cold food is not good for your internal organs."

Lord Gu refused to listen and waved his hand.

"It's okay, I'm used to it. When we're in battle, soldiers like us sometimes go without food or water for a few meals. Madam, don't worry about it."

Qin Yuan had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks.

Just as he put a piece of pickled goose into his mouth, he heard Lord Gu's stomach rumbling like a drum.

Qin Yuan didn't look at him and just kept chewing happily.

Lord Gu swallowed hard.

Qin Yuan put down the bowl helplessly and asked, "My Lord, are you very hungry?"

Lord Gu waved his hands stubbornly: "Nothing, nothing, just do it. Didn't you say that the food has gone cold after waiting for so long? You've been busy all day, so eat quickly."

Qin Yuan picked up another chicken marrow shoot.

This dish is always well cooked in the small kitchen. It is salty, fresh, crisp, tender and refreshing. It is perfect to be used with porridge.

In the past, Lord Gu would drink several bowls of this. If he was not satisfied after eating, he would order two more baskets of tofu skin and fresh bamboo shoots buns.

Qin Yuan had just taken a sip when Lord Gu's Adam's apple couldn't help but roll up and down, making a loud swallowing sound.

Qin Yuan looked at Lord Gu silently. This time, without waiting for her to speak, Lord Gu stood up with a wooden face.

"I think I should go to the outer courtyard to accompany my sixth brother. I don't know if he can eat without me."

Qin Yuan couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You should have gone a long time ago."

Lord Gu didn't say much, he walked out quickly, turned back, and remembered to say to Qin Yuan, "I'll come to find you later."

Qin Yuan smiled and nodded.

She was breathtakingly beautiful under the light.

Lord Gu sighed in his heart, even people can be controlled so tightly.

What can I do? I have a lovely wife and I can only pamper her.

Lord Gu hurried to the outer courtyard and ordered the servant to go to the main kitchen to fetch food, only to find that his dinner had not been prepared and Lord Gu Liu had already eaten.

Lord Gu was a little upset. Lord Gu Liu said, "The servant thought that Third Brother was eating at Wutong Garden, so he mentioned it when he was taking the food, and the kitchen didn't cook it."

Lord Gu snorted twice.

Maybe he hadn't eaten much in the past few days. Seeing Qin Yuan eating so happily, he felt very hungry.

Master Gu Liu gave his good brother some advice: "There have been many people coming and going in the past few days, and the kitchen has been spending a lot. Food is in short supply. If you don't take your share, the servants will divide it among themselves. Why not give them some money to make a midnight snack and eat a few cakes first."

Lord Gu curled the corner of his mouth, said nothing, turned his face towards the door, and stared eagerly, not knowing what he was looking at.

The servant who was guarding outside called out softly, then came in with a food box, and said with a happy face, "My Lord, Sister Hongmian from the Madam's place has brought some food."

"Oh?"

The corners of Lord Gu's lips were no longer drooping.

Master Gu Liu immediately said, "Open it and take a look."

When the lid of the box was opened, there were some vegetables, and the staple food included porridge, noodles, and a basket of tofu skin buns.

Master Gu Liu praised: "This looks good. If I hadn't eaten it, I would have eaten some more."

Gu Jinghui immediately pulled the food box in front of him and said protectively, “This was made specially for me by your third sister-in-law. Why are you joining in the fun?”

Hearing this, Master Gu Liu glanced at his third brother with resentment and disdain.

It was hard to describe Gu Jinghui's mood at the moment.

A little happy, a little angry, and a little sweet.

He quickly finished the noodles in a few bites, then drank two bowls of porridge with chicken marrow and bamboo shoots before he slowed down.

Gu Liuye had been staring at him, and finally found a chance to ask, "Third brother, is the food from Third Sister-in-law's small kitchen so delicious? You didn't even raise your head."

"You do not understand."

Lord Gu's music is really too high-brow for the masses.

There is nothing to say to this stupid brother.

Master Gu Liu: "Tsk tsk tsk, my good Third Brother, you really make me at a loss for words. I already have several children. So, if you say I don't understand, then I don't understand. I just want to ask, will you stay with me in the outer courtyard tonight?"

"Cough cough cough."

Lord Gu was choked and let out a deafening cough.

"What?" Lin Ziqi choked and tears came out.

Qin Wan had just put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand when she saw Madam Yu approaching Lin Ziqi with a nervous look on her face and patting him on the back. She also complained intimately in a low voice: "Why are you so surprised? If I had known, I wouldn't have said anything. If you choked and hurt yourself, how could I live with it..."

Qin Wan sneered in her heart, what a perfect pair of mandarin ducks.

She had never noticed it before.

Then, Lin's mother also put down her chopsticks. After Lin Ziqi calmed down, she turned around and scolded her, "Look at you, you don't even care about your husband. Lian'er is really considerate."

Qin Wan said nothing, but clasped her hands tightly under the table and finally managed to hold back her anger.

Now she is the only outsider in this family.

Even if we get into an argument, you won't gain any advantage.

Madam Yu replied obediently, "Aunt, please don't say that about my cousin's wife. My cousin and I grew up together, so we naturally have a better understanding of each other."

Lin Ziqi had also stopped coughing, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's nothing, it's nothing. You should not talk when you eat or sleep. I was shocked when I heard you talk about the Marquis's affairs just now, so I coughed. You can eat as usual."

Qin Wan picked up the chopsticks.

Madam Yu glanced at her provocatively, returned to her seat, picked up her bowl and said, "My cousin is right. I will eat well and stop talking nonsense."

Mother Lin nodded. "That's the best. Fortunately, we didn't cook fish today. Otherwise, I would have coughed like this, which would have been terrible."

Qin Wan ignored them and just ate by herself.

I wish you all a happy New Year's Eve, (*￣3)(ε￣*), (′‵)Ｉ L
