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

Chapter 408 For the sake of my cousin
Qin Yuan, who was listening outside the door, asked hurriedly, "Why did the Yelu clan assassinate the Marquis? Was the Marquis injured?"

Even through the door, he could tell that his wife was very anxious. Gu Jinghui's heart moved and he deliberately kept silent.

Sure enough, Qin Yuan didn't care about being shy. She pushed the door open and went straight to the bathtub to check.

Lord Gu, who had succeeded, felt a little embarrassed, but he tried hard not to let her see it.

Qin Yuan asked anxiously: "...You, are you injured?"

Lord Gu leaned his head back on the bathtub, shook his head lazily, and said with his red lips slightly opened: "No."

"Really? Why didn't you say it just now?" Qin Yuan's eyes were involuntarily attracted by Lord Gu's broad chest and strong arms, and she slowly looked under the dark brown water...

Lord Gu laughed dryly twice and said hoarsely, "I was so absorbed in the potion that I didn't pay any attention to you, and you just rushed in."

As he spoke, he slowly sank into the water, leaving only his head exposed. He looked at Qin Yuan with innocent eyes, his face flushed, as if he was embarrassed by being stared at.

Qin Yuan's face suddenly turned hot and he felt uncomfortable.

Lord Gu gently coaxed him, "It's too humid in here. I can hear you talking to me outside. Be good and get out quickly. Don't get your hair wet."

Qin Yuan didn't even know how he got out.

Lord Gu gave a sneaky laugh, then quickly stopped.

……

Qin Wan has been treating Lin Ziqi with neither eyes nor nose these days, and is not as considerate as before.

Mother Lin whispered to Madam Yu in private: "What does she mean by this? Did she have other ideas because she saw that your cousin had a headache?"

Madam Yu asked, "How could that be? Didn't you give up the marriage with Marquis Dingbei and decide to marry your cousin?"

"Do you think she wants to live peacefully with your cousin now?"

Mother Lin curled her lips, and her already deep nasolabial lines became even deeper, making her look even more mean.

Madam Yu's eyes rolled around.

"Aunt, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not."

"You said it. What's the point of hiding things between us aunt and niece? You are not an outsider."

Madam Yu said, "My cousin is weak and has headaches from time to time. We should let my cousin's wife take care of him during this period. After all, she is the one who is responsible for finding a doctor. When my cousin passes the imperial examination, will she still think it's important?"

The implication is that Lin's mother should give Qin Wan less trouble these days.

Mother Lin said with a gloomy face: "You are right. We can't push this little whore too hard. Loosen up and tighten up at times. This is the way to set rules. The most important thing right now is your cousin's imperial examination. We can talk about other things later."

Madam Yu smiled and said, "Yes, aunt always considers cousin, which is really a blessing for cousin. No matter how filial cousin is, it is his due."

Mother Lin said with a smile: "That's right. It's not that easy to raise him from the ashes. If my son can pass the imperial examination, my blessing will come later."

He looked at Madam Yu with a smile and added, "You too."

Madam Yu put her hands together and said, "Amitabha, I pray to the Buddha every day to help my cousin pass the high school entrance examination as soon as possible. If my cousin can pass the high school entrance examination, I will be willing to be a vegetarian for the rest of my life."

Mother Lin said happily: "Oh, dear, if Ziqi can get into high school, it will also be due to your sincerity."

The aunt and niece were talking happily. Yanhong overheard them from the side and felt unfair for Qin Wan. She walked into the inner room angrily and said, "We paid so much for the dowry but it's not as much as her two random lies."

Qin Wan asked: "What happened again?" Yanhong told her everything.

Qin Wan said, "I am the only outsider in this family. Even the farts of Yu smell good. I am too lazy to even have such a bad temper."

Yanhong said nothing.

After a while, Qin Wan asked, "Should I take my medicine, Master?"

Yanhong called the little maid through the window and asked, "Is the medicine for the son-in-law ready?"

The little maid said, "It has been fried a long time ago and has been simmering all the time."

Yanhong asked: "Miss, are you going to deliver the medicine now?"

Qin Wan nodded.

Yanhong ordered, "Go and bring the medicine, along with the preserves I bought last time."

The little maid went out for a while, then came back and said, "The medicine was poured out by my cousin."

Yanhong was furious and said, "How can this be so? She thought she was good at borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, but after not seeing her for a while, she went to ask for favors from her son-in-law. How shameless."

The little maid trembled and dared not speak.

Qin Wan sneered.

Yanhong twisted the little maidservant with all her strength, making her cry out in pain.

"I was wrong. I will take good care of the medicine next time. I will never dare to do it again. Please forgive me, Sister Yanhong."

The Lin family is not big, and everyone knew about Qin Wan beating the maid soon.

Mother Lin rushed out and stood outside, shouting, "What are you doing? Ziqi is still sick and needs to rest, and you are beating a little maid here."

Qin Wan came out and responded, "My daughter-in-law is teaching her a lesson. She asked her to boil medicine for my husband, but she didn't know where the medicine went. What should I do if my husband is delayed from taking the medicine? She is so careless and only knows how to eat for free. It's better to sell her."

The little maid was so scared that she started howling inside.

"Please don't sell me. I would rather die here than be sold. Please."

Yanhong scolded him sharply: "What's the use of you? You can't even take care of the medicine. Where did you boil the medicine that cost several taels of silver per bottle? You can't even afford the compensation if you sell it."

Mother Lin's face turned red and white for a long time before she said, "I saw that Xiaolian was fine, so I asked her to take it to Ziqi. I thought it was a big deal, not worthy of you beating and scolding the servants here. We are also a family of scholars, how can you treat the servants so harshly? What will it look like if others hear us?"

Madam Yu hurried out of Lin Ziqi's study, holding the medicine bowl in her hand, and said, "Cousin, it's all my fault. I saw the medicine simmering on the stove, and I was afraid that it would lose its effect after a while, so I gave it to my cousin without asking you. Don't blame that little maid."

Qin Wan smiled and said, "I see. Then let her go for the sake of my cousin."

He turned around and shouted to the door: "Stop fighting."

The sobbing and crying subsided.

Qin Wan said with a half-smile, "The capital is different from my hometown. People who know about it say that you are helping your cousin's wife, and those who don't know say that you are behaving inappropriately. Ziqi also said that he would choose a good marriage for you after you graduate from high school. Even if you don't understand, he should understand."

Madam Yu looked pale, and she leaned on Lin's mother precariously, sniffing her nose and saying, "My cousin's wife taught me a lesson. I will be more careful in the future."

Mother Lin said angrily, "You are the one who is always fussy. You can always find fault with anyone. Xiaolian and Ziqi are cousins. They grew up together when they were little, so they are naturally closer. I just brought him a bowl of medicine."

Madam Yu cried, "Aunt, dear aunt, please don't quarrel with my sister-in-law because of me. My sister-in-law is doing this because she cares about my cousin. If aunt makes a fuss now, how can my cousin rest in peace and recuperate if he hears it?"
