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

Chapter 457 Don’t understand the rules
"Give justice to Second Aunt?"

Hongye couldn't help but exclaim.

Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then told the maid to follow her back to Wutong Garden to change clothes, talking as they walked.

Gu Shiliu asked hurriedly, "Madam, do you want us to follow you?"

Qin Yuan glanced at the old woman, who was hesitant and unable to say anything, so she said, "Just let Eighteen follow me."

He then instructed Hongye: "You and Cuiming should go with him, and prepare the invitation from the mansion in case it is needed."

Gu Shiliu quickly ordered Manager Qian to send someone to drive the car, and asked Butler Han to send strong servants and guards to accompany him. He then hurriedly sent a message to Lord Gu.

Qin Yuan changed into her going-out clothes and put on new makeup before getting in the carriage and heading east for the city.

This woman is Lily's mother, and she knows a lot about the Lin family. She told the story of how Lin's mother controlled Qin Wan, and then said, "Second Aunt used to be like a phoenix at home, and she never suffered any grievances. But in the Lin family, everything she did was criticized. That cousin is not a good girl either. When she came, she was dressed worse than a maid. She used sweet words to coax Second Aunt to give her things and spend money on her, but when she started to talk, she turned out to be an ungrateful person."

Qin Yuan said nothing.

She knew very well what the Lin family was like.

But all this was Qin Wan's own request.

Cui Ming said quietly, "Didn't they say that Mr. Lin has a bright future and will surely become a great man in the future..."

The old woman snorted and said, "It's not that I'm taking advantage of my age. I've been in the Jijiu Mansion for so many years, and I can tell what kind of student can pass the imperial examination. Master Lin quarrels with women at home all day long over these things, so what can we do? Our young master has been appreciated by the emperor, but he still concentrates on studying all day long. He is really oblivious to what's happening outside. The master said that he will definitely pass this time. We rarely hear the master praise Master Lin now. A few days ago, the second aunt came home and quarreled over Master Lin. Later, the lady was so angry that she cried. If the second aunt hadn't been pregnant and fainted, I don't know how this would end."

Hongye exclaimed, "The second young lady is pregnant?"

The old woman said, "Yes."

Then, as if he remembered something, he raised his head in panic and said to Qin Yuan: "...slave..."

Qin Yuan glanced at her indifferently.

The old woman quickly changed the subject and said, "Madam ordered me to invite the eldest aunt to Mr. Lin's house because she thought that the eldest aunt is now in charge of the household affairs of the Marquis's Mansion and is the elder sister of the second aunt. She would be able to go there to gain courage."

Qin Yuan nodded.

Everyone was silent.

The old woman secretly regretted in her heart, wondering what she should have said. She would have told the eldest aunt that the second aunt was pregnant, and that even a servant like her had heard about the marquis's inhumane behavior.

After a while, they arrived at the alley in the east of the city where Lin's residence was located.

Qin Yuan ordered: "Set up all the ceremonial objects."

This is an attempt to use force to suppress others.

Hongye poked her head out with great interest and ordered loudly, "Hurry up and set up the ceremonial guards of the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion. Don't let anyone look down on it."

Suddenly, there was loud drumming and music, and the place became lively.

There were many people blocking the entrance of the alley, but now they all dispersed, leaving a wide passage.

Gu Shiba ordered his strong servants to drive the crowd away. The guards rode on horses and lined up in two rows first, followed by Qin Yuan's main car, and then several small cars with green tents, with strong women sitting in them.

The people watching the fun all hid under the eaves on both sides and just stared.

As the fragrant carriage passed by, the phoenix bells rang softly and a rich fragrance was emitted.

This kind of scene is not something you can usually see. At the moment, they no longer cared about the excitement of the Lin family, and they all guessed who was the noble person sitting in the car.

Gu Shiba turned his horse around and galloped back to Qin Yuan's carriage, saying, "Madam, there is already a carriage from the Jijiu Mansion ahead, and the space is too small. I'm afraid we can't move, so we can only get off here."

Qin Yuan said, "Okay."

The carriage stopped, and then all the maids and strong women in the small carriages got out and quickly gathered around the main carriage to isolate themselves from the prying eyes of others.

Hongye and Cuiming then got off the car, and then helped Qin Yuan out. The old women and strong women gathered together and walked into the alley.

Everyone could only catch a glimpse of the figures and quietly sighed that the rules of Dingbei Marquis Mansion were very strict. They wanted to follow behind to watch the fun, but were afraid of being driven away, so they could only follow from a distance.

Before Qin Yuan reached the door, the people from the Lin family had already received the news and hurried out to greet her.

Lin Ziqi was the first to speak. Before Qin Yuan could speak, Hongye said, "Please pay your respects, Mr. Lin."

Qin Yuan put on heavy makeup today, dressed gorgeously, with a dignified face and an air of nobility.

Lin Ziqi also knew that Qin Yuan came with ill intentions, so he immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

Cui and Lin's mother followed behind him.

Qin Yuan said: "How can a mother bow to her daughter?"

As he said this, he greeted Cui.

Cui took a few steps forward, took her hand, patted it, and said with relief: "Daughter, I'm glad you're here."

Cui's hands were a little cold and trembling slightly.

It was obvious that he was very angry.

Qin Yuan glanced at Lin's mother who was waiting to greet her, and snorted, "Mother, why don't my sister and the cousin from the Lin family come out?"

Cui said, "Your sister is ill. I will let her lie down."

Qin Yuan followed up the conversation and asked, "What happened? I finally came here, why did she suddenly get sick?"

Cui said angrily, "It's all because of the good upbringing of the Lin family. My daughter married into the family, but the mother-in-law has the final say on how to spend her dowry. Not to mention, she also brought a cousin from her parents' home. I don't know how many relatives she brought with her, saying that she came to seek refuge and only wanted a meal so that she could find a husband in the future. In fact, she was secretly having an affair with the son-in-law and kept your sister in the dark. If she hadn't had a miscarriage today, this matter would not have been exposed."

"Where is that person? What does he look like? How could he be able to seduce my brother-in-law's soul?"

Qin Yuan taunted.

They were standing in the alley and talking about this. Lin Ziqi's face was gloomy and he laughed dryly, "Let's ask Madam Hou and mother-in-law to come into the yard and talk."

Qin Yuan did not respond, but just coughed lightly through the curtain.

Hongye immediately said, "Madam Dingbei is here, why don't you guys quickly pay your respects?"

Cui Ming said, "Mr. Lin's mother should also pay respects to our wife when she sees her. After all, Mr. Lin has not yet entered the officialdom... etiquette cannot be abolished."

Lin Ziqi's face flushed, and there was indescribable anger in his eyes.

Mother Lin said angrily, "We are all in-laws. We will meet each other every day. Why do you have to do this?"

Hongye spat, "There are three poor relatives in the court, and they still can't break the rules. Is it that Mrs. Lin feels more noble than others? You must know that when Mr. Lin passes the imperial examination and becomes an official, you must be a high-ranking official. Only then can you see our wife without going through the formalities. Since you don't know, I will dare to tell you, so that you won't be laughed at when you socialize outside in the future. People who don't know will think that Mr. Lin doesn't know the rules."
