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

Chapter 464 Only You
Lord Gu did not ride a horse, but got on Qin Yuan's carriage. Hongye and Cuiming went to the small carriage at the back and squeezed together with the old woman.

When the carriage left the alley, Lord Gu asked, "Why did you come to the Lin residence today?"

Qin Yuan sighed and said, "It's because my brother-in-law is greedy and says that my cousin came from the countryside to seek refuge with him, but in fact, they have been having an affair and she is pregnant."

A strange smile appeared on Lord Gu's face.

"I don't mean to say that some scholars are just too sentimental."

Qin Yuan glanced at him and said, "It is inevitable that my brother-in-law is a little too sympathetic to women."

She glanced at him sideways again, with a puzzled look on her face, and asked, "Is this a common problem among men? Do they all pity those women who look delicate?"

She leaned back and said quietly, "But this cousin is not a good person. When she found out that my sister was pregnant, she wanted to give her medicine. She mistakenly gave it to my brother-in-law, and my sister saw through it. She invited a doctor to see her, but my mother-in-law was biased towards my cousin. She had no choice but to ask my mother and me to judge for justice. Fortunately, I have the Dingbei Marquisate behind me, so I can suppress it a little for the sake of the Marquis."

At first, Lord Gu was smiling while listening to Lin Ziqi's jokes, but he couldn't sit still after hearing the last part. He stretched out his hand and took Qin Yuan into his arms, saying with a smile, "How could this be? I'm not that kind of fool who would leave my good wife at home unloved to mess around with other women. As for whether men all pity those women who look delicate... To be honest, Yuan'er, you look very delicate, but I do more than pity you..."

"Why are you becoming more sweet-talking?"

Qin Yuan smiled and poked Lord Gu's strong and powerful arm.

Lord Gu smiled secretly with pride.

This is not just sweet talk, it is a preventive measure.

He expressed his loyalty first, lest his young wife would think of Madam Zhao and think that he and Mr. Lin were the same kind of people.

"My influence is useful, just use it. This Lin Ziqi is also a fool. It is still unclear whether he can pass the imperial examination. Even if he does, he will only be a minor official. My father-in-law is the leader of the Qingliu, and he has many disciples. In the future, he will have to rely on my father-in-law. It is obvious that we are on good terms, but something like this happened."

Qin Yuan nodded: "It shows that men cannot be spoiled. My sister believes that he has a promising future and may even become the Prime Minister. She is very caring towards him and his mother. My mother has loved her for more than ten years and she has never been treated like this. Otherwise, why would my mother be so angry?"

Gu Jinghui hesitated for a moment and said, “If I were his father-in-law, I wouldn’t want him to be promoted too quickly. Otherwise, he won’t be able to control me in the future.”

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "When you have a daughter in the future, you won't know how to treat your son-in-law."

"Humph, if you dare to marry my daughter, you will be punished!"

Gu Jinghui gnashed his teeth, as if he already had a precious daughter that everyone wanted to marry.

Qin Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.

The carriage sped briskly into the street and drove away surrounded by many strong servants and guards.

The Yelu people who were guarding the entrance of the alley and were about to take action gave up their plan in disappointment.

"It's so infuriating that the great Marquis Dingbei can't live without a woman."

"Tsk, you forgot that Marquis Dingbei is just an empty figure and can only watch."

"Speaking of which, the women of Dingbei Marquis are really pretty, but they are too thin, like little chickens. The women of the Central Plains are fair and tender, but they are weak and cannot stand the tossing and turning."

"Why are you saying all this? Think about how you're going to explain to the young master when you get back!" Yelu Guzha waited for a long time in the hostage house with great expectations, but what he got was still the news of failure.

"Trash, trash."

His long, disheveled hair made him look as miserable as a trapped animal. "All of you are worse than Xu Tang."

"Young Master, it's not us... It's the man named Gu who went there. He has many guards with him. It's useless for us to go there."

"Young Master, we are just trying to avoid her and preserve our strength. When that woman is alone, we will catch her in the trap."

Yelu Xianyong, who was standing nearby, could not help but give the man a heavy kick and shouted, "Don't you know how to outsmart her? It's not like Marquis Dingbei went there at the beginning. If he had protected the woman heavily, would you have been able to wait until she was alone in this lifetime?"

"Everyone can say it, but it's hard to do it. Who wouldn't be afraid of Gu Jinghui? We don't dare to show our true colors and cause trouble for Proton, so we have to be careful."

"Yes, you, Yelu Xianyong, are so powerful, but you should do it yourself."

Several people murmured quietly.

“Alright, stop talking,” Yelu Guzha shouted, “It’s true that you can’t defeat Gu Jinghui. It will be even more troublesome if you reveal your true colors. But what Yelu Xianyong said is also right. You can’t act rashly. You should learn more from the cunning of the Han people. If you can’t defeat them physically, you should outsmart them.”

Several people lowered their heads like shivering lambs.

Yelu Guzha waved his hands in annoyance and said, "All of you go down and receive the whippings."

"Yes, young master!"

After they left, Yelu Guzha said to Yelu Xianyong, "They are all useless. I'm afraid I have to rely on you to take action."

Yelu Xianyong straightened his chin and said loudly: "Young Master, rest assured, I will not disappoint you and will capture that woman and present her to you."

Yelu Guzha shook his head mysteriously: "No, no, I changed my mind. You should find a way to present her to the crown prince, or the prince of Jin."

Yelu Xianyong was stunned, his eyes showing hesitation.

Yelu Guzha's eyes were cold and he said in a deep voice, "Don't you think I'm not acting like a hero?"

Yelu Xianyong lowered his head and said, "I dare not."

Yelu Guzha sneered, "What is there to be afraid of? I can do anything to restore my country. I came to the Central Plains and realized one thing, that is, heroes never have a good ending, and only tyrants and treacherous people can dominate the world. The fact that Daxing was able to establish a dynasty was also due to all the tricks. Take the current emperor of Daxing for example, is his throne legitimate? He talks about benevolence, morality, fatherly love and filial piety every day. If that is true, where should the current queen and prince stand? It's just a cover. In order to revive my Yelu family, I am willing to be looked down upon and ridiculed by the world, even if I end up in pieces, I am willing."

"Young Master," Yelu Xianyong said with tears in his eyes and a choked voice, "Young Master, please don't say anything. Young Master sacrificed himself as a hostage for the sake of our Yelu clan. It was my subordinate who was wrong. I will definitely fulfill my mission. If I make any mistakes, I will bring my head to you."

Yelu Guzha patted his shoulder heavily and sighed, "Who made me the only one who can do things around me?"

The implication is that such a matter should not have been left to him to dirty his hands, and now he can only bear with it for the time being.

Yelu Xianyong cried, "Young Master, please don't say anything. I, Yelu Xianyong, have won your favor, so I am determined to follow you forever. Following you into the capital of Daxing, I am ready to give up my life at any time."
