Chapter 475 Another Background
He said this.

Several other people also echoed.

Gu Baozhu couldn't get angry either, and said bluntly: "It's because I'm not good at martial arts. No wonder Third Brother said that after I finish dealing with Sixth Sister-in-law, he wants me to learn more martial arts so as not to make a fool of myself. Okay, from now on, I will first see how capable the thieves are. If they have some skills, I won't go up and cause trouble for you."

Qin Yuan couldn't help but smiled.

This kid is really fearless and is still thinking about the next time.

Gu Baozhu complained to Qin Yuan: "Third sister-in-law, that thief ran too fast and we couldn't catch him."

Qin Yuan responded, smiled and stroked her head, saying, "Go back and change your clothes quickly. Kang Ge'er and the others are worried about you, and Lan Jie'er keeps talking about her aunt."

Gu Baozhu left in a hurry.

Gu Shiliu said to Qin Yuan, "Madam, I don't know where this thief came from. I think he is still hiding his strength. He just ran away because he thought we discovered him."

Qin Yuan asked: "Is it because Miss Seven is here that you guys can't perform well?"

Gu Shiliu just smiled and didn't deny it.

Qin Yuan said: "You are right to protect her. If something happens to her, it will be more trouble than gain. If the thief is a thief from outside, he is too bold to dare to come to the Marquis's mansion."

Gu Shiliu asked, "Madam, do you think this man is not a thief?"

Qin Yuan nodded.

Gu Shiba said, "The man jumped into the corridor next to the house where the Xu family lived. Our shift worker saw the noise and blew the whistle to warn the Xu family, and they started shouting."

Qin Yuan said: "Then let's go over and take a look now."

She left Cuiming behind and took Hongye with her, and was escorted by everyone to the meditation room where the Xu family lived.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard Mrs. Xu raise her voice and ask vigilantly, "Who?"

Hongye immediately gave her name: "Madam Xu, this is my Marquis's wife."

Mrs. Xu was relieved and asked through the door and window: "Madam, are you here to visit? Has the man been caught?"

Qin Yuan said: "I heard that you were frightened, so I came here to check on you."

Only then did Mrs. Xu order someone to open the door.

Qin Yuan walked in and saw a room full of Xu family members sitting together. Young and old all had uneasy expressions on their faces. They were relieved only when they learned that the thief had run far away.

Madam Xu pulled Qin Yuan, very enthusiastically, and sighed, "This thief is too bold, who would have thought that he would dare to break into the ancestral temple of the Marquisate. I thought Madam was making a fuss before, but fortunately we all live together, and those who don't like to live with others don't have to live outside. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the thief would have succeeded."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "It's a good thing that no one is out and about. If they happened to see him, they might have been attacked by the thief in secret."

Mrs. Xu nodded fearfully.

Qin Yuan added: "I just came to take a look, you can just rest assured."

Mrs. Xu said embarrassedly: "If you don't come, our family will just sit here until dawn."

Qin Yuan chuckled: "We all sat together holding the children, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they came back. We will all go back to the city tomorrow. On the way, we will send someone to take a letter to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion to talk to them and ask them to arrest the thieves."

Mrs. Xu nodded repeatedly.

Qin Yuan asked more about the thieves, and Madam Xu said, "I was so angry with the little monk today that I couldn't sleep well. I woke up when I heard the whistle, and then I heard a "gulp" outside the wall, and I screamed in fear. The clan..."

After a pause, he said embarrassedly: "...some young people are not well-educated and do thieves. We just shout and scare them away."

Many of the Xu family's sons live in the market, and it is inevitable that they will pick up some bad habits.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Luckily you shouted in time, the man was frightened and jumped out again. He was chased onto our roof and stepped on it, breaking a tile. I'm afraid I'll have to have someone check it out and replace it tomorrow."

Madam Xu also smiled. After a few pleasantries, Qin Yuan stood up and said goodbye.

Mrs. Xu hurriedly sent it out.

He watched them walk around the corridor before going back.

Qin Yuan said, "Tell someone to send a letter to each room, saying that the thief has escaped, and ask everyone to rest and take care of anything else tomorrow morning."

Gu Shiliu agreed.

Gu Shiba said: "The young master of the Xu family fell into a dry well in the daytime and picked up a skull. Madam Xu was scared to death. She was frightened again in the middle of the night. No wonder she was so scared."

Qin Yuan smiled.

"This is indeed a coincidence."

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and Qin Yuan gave a few instructions to Gu Shiliu.

Gu Shiliu smiled and said, "Madam is really tall."

Turning around to leave, Qin Yuan said, "You are fast, go find Cui Ming and ask for some tranquilizing pills to send to the Xu family, so they can calm their nerves and avoid having trouble sleeping."

Gu Shiliu responded and disappeared quickly.

Hongye’s eyes widened.

Qin Yuan said, "Let's go. When we have time, let Sixteen show you his skills."

Hongye's face felt hot.

Fortunately, it was dark and no one could see clearly.

There were only a few guards laughing quietly.

When they returned, Cui Ming came up to them and said, "Sixteen just asked for some scented pills, and Rong Mama also ordered some to coax the young master and young lady to sleep."

Qin Yuan yawned and said, "Go to sleep, go to sleep."

Gu Baozhu sat on the couch, staring with her eyes wide open, her eyebrows puffed up with vigor, and said, "Third sister-in-law, don't worry about your sleep. I'll be watching over you."

"What are you guarding? Go to sleep now. It won't happen again. I promise."

Qin Yuan lay on the bed and fell into a sweet sleep.

"How did Third Sister-in-law know?" Gu Baozhu was puzzled, and then asked angrily: "Why did he fall asleep again?"

When Qin Yuan woke up the next morning, she saw Gu Baozhu sleeping soundly on the bed. She got up quietly, washed and dressed, and asked the maid, only to find out that Gu Baozhu had actually not slept the whole night and only went to bed when the rooster in the temple crowed.

Hongye whispered, "I didn't expect that Miss Seven is quite... quite trustworthy."

Qin Yuan smiled and glanced at her, saying, "The pearl still has many benefits."

Hongye chuckled and asked, "What did Miss tell Sixteen to do yesterday? I saw he was smiling in a wicked way."

Qin Yuan said: "Why don't you ask him and find out?"

Hongye twisted her body and muttered, "How could he tell me what the young lady told him to do?"

Qin Yuan said: "You will know when the time comes. Why are you asking? It won't work if too many people know about it."

Cui Ming glanced at Gu Baozhu who was lying on the bed.

Hongye remained silent.

After finishing breakfast, Qin Yuan ordered Gu Shiba to find the abbot and said that the monks had been busy with the rituals for days and that they should have thanked them one by one after the rituals were completed. However, thieves had come to the family temple last night and the female family members were frightened, so they had to go back early. He asked the monks to wait in the meditation hall and the marquis' wife would thank them one by one at that time.
