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

Chapter 403: Drive the Idiot Away
After returning home, Lord Gu went straight to Wutong Garden and asked as soon as he entered the door, "Where is the Madam?"

The maidservant in the corridor hurriedly said, "Madam is in the study."

Lord Gu lowered his footsteps and slowly walked into the inner room.

A strange maid came up from inside, and Furong, with a smile on her face, asked, "My Lord, would you like some tea?"

Lord Gu said casually, "Bring it up."

He relaxed and leaned back in the armchair, sighing in his heart, it seemed that his wife was really busy. Even Mozhu and Hongmian were both of great use, and there was a new person serving in the room.

I was planning to talk to my young wife about what I saw and heard in the six ministries today when we have dinner together later.

The maid holding the teacup stepped on something and suddenly jumped forward. The teacup with boiling water flew towards the daydreaming Lord Gu.

"what!"

Qin Yuan was thinking about the rhyme of the middle few lines of the new poem when he suddenly heard a sharp cry, which seemed to come from the inner room. He quickly put down the brush in his hand, stood up and asked, "What happened?"

The maid who was guarding outside said, "The Marquis just returned to the inner room, and Zhenzhu was on duty. The sound seemed to be coming from Zhenzhu."

Qin Yuan hurried to the inner room.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw the floor was a mess.

Broken porcelain pieces, discolored tea leaves, a puddle of steaming water...

Pearl was struggling to get up from the ground, looking extremely miserable.

Gu Jinghui sat far away and scolded with a cold face: "You are so clumsy. It's a good thing that I am here. If my wife was splashed with water like you, wouldn't her face be ruined? Whose maid uses boiling water to pour tea? From now on, don't serve me and my wife anymore."

"What's going on here?"

Qin Yuan asked hurriedly.

Gu Jinghui quickly suppressed his anger and said, “I was sitting here quietly just now, and this idiot came over to serve me tea. I don’t know what happened, but the teacup flew towards me. Fortunately, I was able to dodge quickly. If such boiling water had been poured on me, wouldn’t it have caused a lot of blisters?”

As he spoke, he glared at Pearl who had just climbed up, and said, "I don't know how you got selected. You are so clumsy. Don't serve in front of the master anymore. If I get hurt, how many lives do you have to pay for it?"

Zhenzhu originally wanted to show her face in front of the Marquis when no one was around, but she was too anxious and ruined the plan. Then she heard that she was no longer allowed to enter the house to serve, so she cried anxiously: "Marquis, Madam, it's all Zhenzhu's fault, please..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Yuan said, "Okay, go down first. If you get burned, quickly find some medicine to apply to avoid scars."

Pearl wanted to beg for mercy, but the maidservant beside her covered her mouth and dragged her out.

Then a maid came in from outside to clean.

Lord Gu then stood up, took a few steps, and said to Qin Yuan with a wronged look on his face: "You also want to use such a clumsy person. You scared me just now."

"You are not afraid of a huge army, but you are frightened by a little maid."

Qin Yuan glanced at Gu Jinghui unhappily.

Gu Jinghui said, "Do you know what I'm afraid of? I'm afraid it will splash on your body and face, how scary it will be." He gritted his teeth and said, "Such an idiot can enter the inner room to work. I despise her for sweeping the yard. The servants outside the second gate are more skillful than her. Don't use this person in the future. Find out who recommended her and give her a good scolding. These servants are becoming less and less attentive in their work."

Qin Yuan comforted him, "Okay, okay, I get it. I won't use this person anymore. Let her do some rough work outside."

Gu Jinghui was now a little happier and embraced Qin Yuan in his arms. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Yuan pushed him and said, "You haven't changed your clothes yet."

"Isn't this because you're not here?"

Lord Gu let go of his hand in dismay, saying, "I was bored when you didn't wait for me in the room. You rushed home as soon as you finished your work. What did you do today? When I came back, I heard that you were in the study, reading?" Qin Yuan bent down to find clothes for him, and smiled when she heard him, "You ask questions one after another, which one should I answer first?"

Lord Gu smiled, came up to her and said, "Just talk to me. It doesn't matter if I answer or not."

Qin Yuan took out her home clothes and handed them to him.

"Let's change this first. Do you want to loosen your hair?"

Lord Gu said, "No need. I still have to go to the camp after lunch. I haven't been there for so long, and I'm a little worried. Besides, I need to select some soldiers to help with the imperial inspection."

Qin Yuan asked: "Have you finished running all six divisions today?"

Lord Gu walked behind the screen and said as he changed his clothes, "I'm done running. Only the Minister of Personnel is not here. I left a message for their Deputy Minister. I also asked for people from other departments. It's a bit strange."

"Why is it weird?"

"They kept telling me to take care of my health, and their eyes looked very strange."

Qin Yuan thought about it and understood, and said with a smile: "This...it's not you who caused it."

Lord Gu said, "You know it again, but you don't tell me, keeping me in suspense."

Qin Yuan just smiled.

Lord Gu came out from behind the screen, hugged Qin Yuan by the waist, threw her onto the Luohan bed, took off her embroidered shoes and tickled her soles, "See if you will tell the truth or not, I will punish you severely."

“…Haha…don’t…haha…”

Qin Yuan laughed so hard that she almost died, and then she collapsed on the Luohan bed. Lord Gu felt itchy at the sight, and leaned over to try to steal a kiss, but Qin Yuan quickly dodged. The two of them were having a great time, when someone who wasn't paying attention kicked Qin Yuan's jade foot and hit him in the face.

Lord Gu was stunned.

Qin Yuan quickly moved away, finally stopped laughing, and panted, "You can't blame me for this, it's all your fault."

"I didn't say anything."

"Go wash your face first. I'll ask someone to set the table."

Qin Yuan gently raised her fingers to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Just as she was about to stand up, Gu Jinghui came closer again. Qin Yuan said disdainfully, “You haven’t washed your face yet, what are you doing here?”

"I don't dislike you, but you dislike me."

Lord Gu was puzzled.

Qin Yuan said, "Go wash your face quickly, otherwise don't come over to talk."

Lord Gu snorted, but still got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

At this time, Hongye and the others came back. Qin Yuan called out from inside the room, and Hongye came in and asked, "Why did Zhenzhu come to me and ask me to beg the young lady to keep her to serve you? But what did she do wrong?"

Qin Yuan said, "The Marquis doesn't want to use her anymore. Look for other places that need people and send her there. Don't let her do personal service."

Hongye agreed.

Qin Yuan added: "Send a letter to Miss Dong later."

Hongye asked, "It's still a while before the fifteenth, why are you sending it now? The mooncakes in the mansion haven't been made yet."

Qin Yuan said, "That's not it. Today, the 16th came over and said that the poetry contest alarmed the owner of Shuhai Pavilion, and he sent people to compete. I wanted to invite some women to write firefly poems and publish a collection of women's poems about fireflies. Miss Dong founded a poetry club in Jinling, and she was able to gather many talented women."
