Chapter 468 Prevention
Qin Yuan hesitated: "How about letting my nephews stay with me too?"

Gu Baozhu said, "Mother, sister-in-law, I am still here, why not let them follow me?"

Madam Gu glared at her and said, "You are still a half-grown child. I was just about to warn you not to cause trouble for your sister-in-law. She is the only one who takes care of everything here. If you don't behave yourself and cause trouble, she will be exhausted. She is not much older than you, and it is not easy for her to take care of so many things. You have to help her and can't just follow your own temper and do whatever you want."

Gu Baozhu's face darkened, but she didn't dare to refute, and she couldn't help but sticking out her tongue anxiously.

However, Lord Gu who was walking over saw this and scolded him, "What kind of appearance is this? What does it matter if someone sees it?"

Gu Baozhu had no choice but to stand there with a blank face.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I am also worried about Baozhu. Why don't we, the aunts, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces all stay together? This way, mother will feel relieved."

In the end, Madam Gu kept Madam Rong and got on the car to go back.

Lord Gu wanted to stay here, but Qin Yuan persuaded him: "Mom is alone in the mansion, you should go back and accompany her. Besides, you have to be busy with official business tomorrow. If you leave from here, you will have to get up in the dark. It will be too tiring. I don't want you to suffer so much."

Hearing this, Lord Gu felt very relieved and said, "That's fine. Sister Cheng will stay with you here too. I can still take care of her in the mansion."

Lord Gu left Gu Shiliu, Gu Shiba and most of the guards in the ancestral temple and ordered them to protect them carefully. Then he rode his horse to catch up with Old Madam Gu's carriage and went back to the city together.

Qin Yuan then instructed Hongye: "Take some people to clean up the rooms. Sister Baozhu and I will sleep together at night. Sister Lan will sleep in the inner room with us, and Brother Kang and Brother Fu will sleep in the outer room. Ask Aunt Rong how to arrange it."

Rong Mama smiled and said, "I can take the young masters to sleep in the outer room. This place is different from the mansion. It's good as long as we can sleep. If Madam is a light sleeper, I can take the young lady to sleep."

Qin Yuan hurriedly said, "It's troublesome enough for Rong Ma to take the two brothers to sleep, and I still have Hongye and Cuiming here, so that's enough."

Hongye followed Madam Rong into the house to tidy up the house.

Qin Yuan frowned and thought carefully, then asked Cui Ming to ask people what kind of incense they had in their sachets or purses. She also asked the abbot of the temple for sandalwood and other things, and chose a quiet meditation room to sit down.

After a while, Cui Ming came with a nanmu tray. On the tray was a piece of embroidered satin embroidered with scriptures, and on the embroidered satin were some large and small purses and sachets.

"I heard that the young lady wanted it, so please untie them and put them up. Because today is a special day, not many people will bring incense."

Qin Yuan nodded, reached out his hand to pick and look at them, took out the ones that could be used, mixed them with the sandalwood brought by the little monk, and ground them finely with a wooden mortar and mallet.

Cui Ming asked: "Why do you think of matching fragrance now?"

Qin Yuan didn't answer, but only asked her: "How have you seen Sixteen and Hongye these days?"

Cui Ming smiled and said, "It seems that Hong Ye is planning to scare us one day. She is keeping it a secret. However, we can see the affair between the two of them clearly. They don't know it yet and think they are avoiding suspicion."

Qin Yuan asked again: "Where is Hongmian?"

"It can still be stable."

Qin Yuan nodded: "In terms of intelligence and boldness, Hongmian and Hongye are almost the same, but in terms of cunning and tactics, Hongye is not as good as Hongmian. You can play a supporting role and keep an eye on her for me. If Hongmian lets go of this matter quickly, it will be fine. If not, we can only find a way to transfer them away."

Cui Ming nodded in response. While the two were talking, Qin Yuan's hands were not idle either. She said, "When you take a break at night, have them sprinkle it outside the doors of each room. The fragrance is unique and can stay with you for a long time. It is better to use it as a precaution than nothing." "Miss, you have really thought it through."

Qin Yuan sighed, "The family temple is different from the mansion, so you'd better be careful. You should also be alert at night."

Cui Ming's expression also became serious. She nodded and said, "I will tell them to be careful outside and not to let them off the reins."

Qin Yuan came out again to find Master Gu Liu and said, "Sixth brother, don't work too hard at night. The family temple is not like the mansion. It's best for you to rest in the meditation room and don't walk around casually."

Gu Shiliu also came over and said, "I was just about to tell all the gentlemen and ladies that life outside is different from home. There have been thieves around lately, so you have to be especially careful when going out at night."

Master Gu Liu knew that Gu Shiliu was well-informed now, so he didn't ask any more questions and said immediately, "Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law, I will never leave the meditation room."

Qin Yuan went to find Dai and others to talk to them. Now all the female relatives were very convinced of her and agreed.

Dai said, "We are here to perform a ritual, so we should stay indoors quietly at night. The family temple is far from the city, so we'd better be careful."

The others followed suit.

Only Madam Xu had a hint of disdain, but she still agreed on the surface, saying: "We are here to perform a ritual for the aunt, so we must abide by the rules. Please rest assured, Madam. But Miss Seven is very lively and may not be able to stay. Madam, you still have to keep a close eye on her."

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "Baozhu rested with me and helped me take care of my nephews and nieces very attentively. Now that she is older and more sensible, she will naturally not run around and make her family worry."

Mrs. Xu's face turned pale.

Dai and the others said, "To be honest, the old lady is really willing to teach Miss Baozhu a lesson. She really dotes on her, not like the pampered children of a small family. This is good. Children of our military family should be raised like this so that they can bear the wealth and honor."

Someone said, "We all heard that Baozhu played polo with the Yelu family's gang that day to protect the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion. She almost fell under the horse's hoof but didn't lose the ball. She was even rewarded by the emperor. She really brought honor to our Gu family."

The more Mrs. Xu listened, the more annoyed she became.

He secretly thought that people in this world were all flatterers of the powerful and looked down on the weak. They praised Qin Yuan, a young wife, in their words and deeds, making her embarrassed.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "I'll go back and talk to Baozhu about this later. The aunts and sisters-in-law in the clan all praise her so much. If she doesn't do better in the future, I'll be so sorry to everyone."

After everyone chatted and laughed for a while, Qin Yuanfang walked away.

Madam Xu led the Xu family's children to the front and slowly went to look for Master Gu Liu. Seeing Master Gu Liu standing under a pine tree in the corner of the yard with his head bowed in deep thought, she pushed them and said, "Call me uncle quickly."

"Uncle!"

the children shouted in unison.

Mr. Gu Liu responded with a few words and then asked the servant to take them inside to play.

Madam Xu said, "Brother-in-law, you should also mourn. My mother cried at home because her daughter died early, leaving behind three children. How pitiful! She cried so much that her eyes were almost blind. We should visit each other more often in the future, so that the younger generations will not be unfamiliar with each other."

Before she could finish her words, she could hear Lan Jie'er's heart-wrenching cry.
