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

Chapter 411 A Woman with Unknown Intentions

Qin Yuan was a little confused and asked, "The concubine of Yelu's hostage?"

Yelu Guzha has always had evil intentions towards the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion, but on the surface he did not interfere. Why did he suddenly order his concubine to visit?

Housekeeper Cao was also confused: "Yes, she sent a message from the gatehouse, saying that she wanted to see Madam for something, but she didn't say what it was, and she was dressed very ostentatiously."

This means that the other party is not here to worship Xu.

That would be more interesting.

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said to Hongye, "Go and ask Sixteen to come."

Hongye hurried out.

Qin Yuan asked someone to bring a small stool for Butler Cao to sit down and wait.

Housekeeper Cao chatted leisurely: "Madam, the concierge said that this woman had a thick, colorful cloth wrapped around her head, her face was obscured so that her features could not be seen clearly, and her voice was hoarse and stiff. Did she come here for those Yelu clan members captured next door?"

Qin Yuan narrowed his eyes and replied, "That's hard to guess. I've been in the capital, but I've never dealt with the Yelu family. If they came for these Yelu family members, they really don't take our mansion seriously. Even if they came to ask for the dog, it's not a good excuse. After all, the Marquis was almost assassinated on the way back. Isn't this equivalent to saying that it's related to them?"

Steward Cao said, "Madam is right. I am a little confused as to why the Yelu clan wanted to capture Master Cheng and Miss Yu."

Qin Yuan sighed, "I'm afraid only the Zhao family can explain this matter clearly."

Gu Shiliu hurried over, bowed, and said, "Madam, the Marquis is aware of this matter and has ordered me to send people to protect you. If you want to see him, we will protect you the whole time. If you don't want to see him, just refuse directly. Dingbei Marquis's Mansion and the Hostage Mansion have never had any contact."

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Butler Cao, go and tell her that she is a concubine of the hostage mansion and I am the wife of Marquis Dingbei. We have never had any contact, so it is not right for me to see her. If there is no reason, I will not see her."

Butler Cao responded and went out to reply.

Qin Yuan asked Gu Shiliu, "Did those Yelu clan members find out anything?"

Gu Shiliu shook his head and said, "You're still stubborn."

Qin Yuan asked again: "What about the people around Cheng Ge'er?"

Gu Shiliu said, "The Marquis said to keep her. It was just a coincidence today. After the Marquis was assassinated, he felt something was wrong, so he climbed out of the back door of Renhe Hall, walked on the roof and went directly to Master Cheng's house. He ran into the Yelu family setting fire and caught them red-handed. I'm afraid she still thinks that she was caught by the Marquis by chance."

Qin Yuan nodded.

Gu Shiliu added, "Eighteen was blocked several times on his way back. The Yelu family wanted to entangle the Marquis, but he was busy with work in the mansion and couldn't take care of the next door, so he took the people away. Fortunately, the Marquis was wise."

Qin Yuan asked curiously, "Don't you have any news?"

Gu Shiliu laughed and said, "Old Lady Qi sent us a message a long time ago, saying that there was some unusual movement, and asked us to pay more attention to it in the next two days. But no one expected that they would attack the Marquis."

Obviously, Mrs. Qi only knows the news from this side.

Gu Shiliu also made preparations, but Lord Gu was faster.

Qin Yuan also laughed.

Gu Shiliu is indeed quite clever and good at talking and handling things, no wonder Hongye has developed a secret crush on him.

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Then let Old Lady Qi continue to recuperate at Master Cheng's house... Is there anything unusual about Young Master Cheng and Miss Yu?"

Gu Shiliu said, "Xiaohong and Zihe didn't deliver the letter. Let's wait a few more days."

Qin Yuan nodded.

Then he chatted with Gu Shiliu about some trivial matters at home.

After waiting for a while, Butler Cao came back and said, "That woman won't leave. She said it's about Miss Seven. If we don't see her again, it might be bad for Miss Seven." "Miss Seven?"

Qin Yuan and Gu Shiliu were both stunned.

Hongye said hurriedly, "I have indeed not seen Miss Seven today."

After being scolded by Old Madam Gu, Gu Baozhu did not go to the front to help for the time being. Moreover, these few days were coming to an end and not many people came to pay their respects, so Qin Yuan did not care much.

Qin Yuan frowned, and Hong Ye said, "I will take people to look for Miss Seven right away."

Gu Shiliu hurriedly stopped Hongye.

"Too slow, I'll go."

Before he finished speaking, he left the house and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Butler Cao asked hurriedly, "Madam, do you want to invite someone in to talk?"

Qin Yuan was also a little anxious, so she said, "Go tell the Marquis first and ask him if he wants to meet her in the front hall. I'll go there right away."

Butler Cao went about his business, and Qin Yuan hurriedly took the maids to the front hall. As soon as they arrived, Gu Shiliu also rushed over.

Gu Shiliu's breath was a little unstable, and he looked anxious: "Miss Seven is out."

Gu Jinghui stamped his feet and said, “Why did she run out again when the house was still busy? She is so ignorant. What trouble did she cause outside again? I must teach her a lesson when she comes back!”

Master Gu Liu sat there silently without saying a word.

Qin Yuan advised: "Now that things have come to this, why not invite the person in to ask for clarification. But do you two brothers want to stay away?"

Lord Gu nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to be careful. I have captured their people, and now Yelu Guzha has sent a concubine to ask for a meeting. I don't know what to do."

Without waiting for orders, Gu Shiliu arranged for the guards to hide nearby.

Seeing that Lord Gu was getting angry, Qin Yuan hurriedly said, "With you here, I have nothing to worry about. Besides, when she mentioned Seventh Sister, maybe she was planning to use Seventh Sister to exchange for someone else, so she would not hurt me."

Only then did Lord Gu calm down.

Gu Liuye suddenly spoke up and said, "It's better to be careful. It's easy to dodge an open attack but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark."

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, you guys just hide behind the screen. If anything happens to her, the Marquis will be able to protect me in time."

Lord Gu was relieved and hid behind the screen as instructed.

Gu Liuye also wanted to hide here: "I have never seen the beauty of the Yelu family. If a painter wants to paint people well, he must look at all kinds of people. If Third Brother finds something wrong later, I will hide under this table and will never get in his way."

Lord Gu had no way to deal with him, so he just gave in.

When everyone was ready, Butler Cao led the people in.

Qin Yuan was sitting at the top. Before he could see the person clearly, a strong fragrance hit his nose and he couldn't help sneezing.

She quickly covered her nose with a handkerchief and looked carefully, only to see a tall woman wearing an exotic dress that exposed her arms and neck, but wearing a large and thick headscarf that covered her entire face.

When the woman came in, she stood straight at the door without going inside. She neither greeted nor spoke.

Qin Yuan stood up and asked, "Are you the concubine of the hostage? What urgent matter do you want to tell me?"

The woman nodded and whispered, "Madam, Miss Seven is playing polo with the hostage of the Yelu family for your cousin. If we don't stop it in time, I'm afraid it will be dangerous."
