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

Chapter 396 Yes Yes Yes
Hearing his sister, who was always causing trouble, defending him behind his back, Gu Jinghui couldn't help but touch his nose, a smile spreading across his lips.

"Then mother, can you tell me who gave Chang such courage?" Gu Baozhu was puzzled.

"Do I need to ask? Of course it's the Crown Prince and the Ninth Princess. They were the ones who brought him into the palace last time."

"...Oh..." Gu Baozhu's voice was obviously much lower. "I can't afford to offend the Crown Prince and the Ninth Princess, but I can't tolerate it either. Who made me lose face in public first, and then said bad things about Third Brother. I think she is here to cause trouble."

Gu Jinghui was about to go in, but Qin Yuan spoke inside the room, so he stopped.

"Don't be angry, mother. Baozhu is indeed hot-tempered. But if you ask me, Baozhu and Madam Chang were both right and wrong at first, but later Madam Chang was 70% wrong. If Baozhu is upset, she can just say it directly, and there is no need to drag the Marquis into it. If she comes to me to reason, how can I ignore Baozhu?"

"What the third sister-in-law said makes sense."

After hearing what his wife said, Lord Gu felt as if he had drunk honey water, and he felt indescribably sweet. He immediately lifted the curtain and went in, staring straight at Qin Yuan, but said to Gu Baozhu: "Baozhu, what your third sister-in-law said is indeed reasonable."

Gu Baozhu shouted happily: "Listen, mother, Third Brother is on my side too, please forgive me. I finally got out, and you want to lock me up again. When will it end? My best years have been wasted. Besides, if I am locked up, there will be no one to play with my nephews and nieces. Where can you find a good aunt for them?"

Qin Yuan blushed under his hot gaze and quickly lowered her head.

Madam Gu gave up.

"You all should spoil her. Look at the trouble she is causing. In a few days, the whole capital will spread the news that the daughter of the Dingbei Marquis's mansion is a shrew. I want to see how she can find a husband."

Gu Baozhu said: "If you spread this about me, I will have people spread the word that Chang Qingling is a slut, and see who is afraid of who."

"Shut up!"

Madam Gu was furious. "You are a girl after all, how come you don't speak or act like a girl at all?"

Gu Baozhu pouted and said nothing.

Gu Jinghui said hurriedly, “I wouldn’t have said it before, but now that I’m back, I definitely won’t let my younger brother and sister get bullied without fighting back. This time, it happened for a reason, so please let it go lightly. As for the rumors, I will send someone to keep an eye on them. If anyone spreads gossip about my sister with malicious intent, I will not let them off easily.”

"Thank you, Third Brother, for speaking for me."

Gu Baozhu hurriedly thanked him.

Gu Jinghui quickly glanced at Qin Yuan and indicated, “And your third sister-in-law.”

"Thank you, Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law, for speaking for me."

Gu Baozhu immediately changed her words and winked at Qin Yuan.

Madam Gu ignored it.

Gu Jinghui continued, “As for Baozhu’s marriage… She is so noisy. If she can’t find a suitable in-law, I think it would be better for her to marry one of my lieutenant generals. They are all military men and will not be scared by Baozhu. Even for my sake, they will not dare to make Baozhu suffer.”

Before Madam Gu could say anything, Gu Baozhu shouted anxiously, "I won't marry a soldier, mother, third brother, I want to marry a scholar, a talented man who can write poetry."

Madam Gu, who didn't want to talk, couldn't help but slap her thigh and sighed, "What a sin! You still want to marry a scholar, but the scholar has to want to marry you. If you continue to be so naughty, I'm afraid that even the soldiers won't dare to marry you. Do you think your sixth brother likes you like this?"

Qin Yuan knew who Gu Baozhu was thinking about, but she couldn't say anything. Gu Baozhu stiffened her neck and said, "Mom, if I can find the one, regardless of the other person's age or family background, will you let me marry him?"

Madam Gu was stunned.

Lord Gu walked over to Qin Yuan and sat down, wondering, "Could it be that my sister has taken a fancy to someone? If I were to say, if you did, you wouldn't do something like Xu Zhen, causing such a scene. Now no one can find the person alive or dead, and it also caused the two families to fall out with each other."

Madam Gu nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Baozhu, don't learn from Xu Zhen. Qin Juren is a good man, everyone knows that, and everyone wants good men, but you have to follow the rules, and you can't do it like her. If you like someone, you should ask someone to find out whether the other person is married, what kind of girl the elders in the family want to choose for him, whether the other person likes you, and the family style should also match."

Gu Baozhu swallowed the name that was on the tip of her tongue.

"Not yet, I... I just want to marry a scholar. In the future, our Gu family will change its status and follow the path of scholars. I can marry a scholar so that we can have a mutual support. I heard that many people will look for a son-in-law under the list when the spring exam results are announced. When I find the right one, we will go and find one."

Madam Gu’s eyes widened.

"Oh, Baozhu actually thinks so much about the family's future. I underestimated you on weekdays. You always talk nonsense."

Gu Baozhu pretended to be happy and said with a smile: "That's right, a man should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence. Sixth brother has published a collection of poems and has become famous, so can't I also make progress?"

Lord Gu said with a smile, "If you want to make progress, you must first change your temper. Whose wife of a Jinshi scholar would hit others when she disagrees with him? In addition, you must also learn needlework and be proficient in household chores. Only by learning from your third sister-in-law can you truly make progress."

Gu Baozhu said worriedly, "I want to learn from my sister-in-law, but she is too busy to take care of me."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "How can it be like what your third brother said? Sister Baozhu can study and learn needlework with a female teacher on weekdays, and then follow me to see how to manage the household every day. If she marries into a mansion like ours, it is usually not her turn to be the head of the household unless she is the eldest son's wife. It is because our mother trusts the younger generation that it is my turn to be the king. On weekdays, as long as your sister can manage her own yard and keep track of the accounts, it will be enough. Your mother-in-law will teach you a lot after you get married. If you marry into a family with a simple population, like my sister married into the Lin family, she said that she would only take care of the daily meals and daily expenses, and her mother-in-law would not let go easily."

Gu Baozhu was shocked when she heard this.

Madam Gu smiled and nodded, "Yuan'er is right."

Rong Mama joked: "You only said that because Madam praised you."

Madam Gu smiled and said, "She is not praising, she is telling the truth."

Qin Yuan also laughed.

"I'm not good at talking and don't know how to praise people. That's how my mother treats me."

Gu Baozhu sighed, "Speaking of which, my third sister-in-law is beautiful and intelligent, and she also has a good mother-in-law like my mother. I may not have such a blessing."

Gu Jinghui said: “This blessing is not something that everyone can have. She also has a good husband like me.”

Gu Baozhu: “!”

Qin Yuan just laughed, and Gu Jinghui asked, “Is that so?”

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes."

Gu Baozhu couldn't help but sigh. Why did she feel that marrying into the Qin family was an increasingly difficult thing?
