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

Chapter 482 He still dares to come
"Yelü Guzha?"

Lord Gu's voice was filled with surprise, anger, and confusion.

Obviously it was too unexpected.

Hongye whispered, "How dare Yelu Guzha come here?"

Cui Ming said, "Maybe they are here to ask for someone. This shows that the person captured today is very important to the Yelu family's hostage."

The two of them were whispering here.

Lord Gu in the room was also muttering: "He actually dared to come."

Qin Yuan said: "I guess he came here for Yelu Xianyong."

This man is loyal to Yelu Guzha and is brave and good at fighting. If it weren't for a coincidence today, he would have been hard to fool.

Gu Baozhu shook her head and said with a smile, "Then we'll have to ask for a lot."

Madam Gu glared at her.

"Eat well. This is adult business. Children should stay out of it."

Although she was not punished, she was disciplined more strictly.

Gu Baozhu pursed her lips and took a big mouthful of food with a wronged look.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "If my husband is willing to return it to him, he must ask for more benefits."

Lord Gu smiled and said, "Now that I have the upper hand, how can I easily agree to him? I must find out his background thoroughly."

Hearing this, Gu Baozhu looked at Lord Gu in agreement and nodded heavily.

Madam Gu glared at her but didn't scold her again.

Qin Yuan saw it and couldn't help but curl her lips.

Master Gu Liu frowned and said, "Mother and Third Sister-in-law, be careful when you go out to socialize in the future. The Yelu family has been harassing us several times without any care, and they won't let us go if we don't get the upper hand."

Gu Baozhu nodded heavily and then stuffed another big mouthful of rice into her mouth.

Lord Gu said, "Sixth brother is right. Women should be careful when traveling in the future. He is a barbarian who does not follow rules or morality. If he does something wrong, he will regret it."

Madam Gu said, "Don't worry, I have walked across more bridges than you have walked on any roads, I will be careful."

Lord Gu then turned outside and said to Gu Shiliu, "Let him wait first."

Gu Shiliu smiled and said, "Okay."

My Lord, you're going to take your time to have your meal before meeting anyone.

After getting the Marquis's order, Gu Shiliu walked out slowly, looking like a completely different person from his previous anxious and impatient appearance.

Before he had taken a few steps, Lord Gu called out to him.

“Sixteen, come over later and tell the old lady and the lady everything you saw at the ancestral temple.”

Gu Shiliu agreed and quickly quickened his pace to get the things.

inside the house.

Madam Gu asked, "What happened in the family temple?"

Gu Liuye looked at the children who were eating at the small table with some hesitation, and said, "Mother, let's talk after we finish eating."

Gu Baozhu rarely did not interrupt. The table of people quickly finished their meal, and the maids and servants all came in to serve.

After washing his hands, rinsing his mouth, and drinking new tea, Qin Yuan moved to the living room, where he told the story of finding a skull in the ancestral temple.

Madam Gu was shocked and said, "There is such a thing?"

"Kang'er, please explain it to grandma as soon as possible," Master Gu Liu hurriedly ordered.

Kang Ge'er then told the story of how he and his cousin from the Xu family had initially been playing around, how they had competed to see who was braver, and how they had sneaked into the broken yard to play, and how they had slipped and fallen into a dry well and found a skull.

Kangger and Fuger are not very old, but they both attended primary school in the Imperial College, so they speak fluently and in detail but not disorganized.

Madam Gu frowned upon hearing this and asked in panic, "Is there some murder case hidden in here?"

Qin Yuan said seriously, "I am also worried about this, so I asked the monks to chant scriptures and perform rituals to calm them down, and asked Gu Shiliu to mobilize troops from the main camp and have them wait until we leave before conducting a thorough search. I am not afraid of anything else, but I am afraid that someone will turn the family temple into a place where filth and dirt are hidden. It will not only tarnish the foundation of our ancestors, but also hide disasters."

Madam Gu held Qin Yuan's hand tightly and sighed, "My son, thank goodness for you. The clan temples are managed by clan members in turn. The richer the clan and the higher the official position, the more money they pay. In addition to the share paid by the clan's public treasury, the rest of the money for the incense and monks' expenses in the family temples is provided by each branch according to the old rules. The Marquis' Mansion has the highest reputation in the clan, so we can have a say in all matters of the clan. But after the old Marquis passed away, the Marquis' Mansion only paid money and no longer managed things. If someone uses the family temple to cause trouble, no one can escape responsibility."

All in all, the Marquis' Mansion also has to bear the crime of failing to take good care of the clan members.

This can be a big or small matter, depending on the emperor's mood.

Some were sent to exile for this, while others were simply passed over without any mention.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence. If the children hadn't been naughty, this incident wouldn't have happened."

Madam Gu said, "Thanks to your careful thinking, you have kept everyone under control and nothing has been revealed. If anything had happened, it would have been bad. Many people in the clan are very poor. They keep their coffins in the ancestral temple and make a living by farming next to it. That is the sacrificial land bought by our ancestors, and the supplies from the land are also used to worship our ancestors. It is the turn of the family to manage it. If the clan members farm this land, they don't need to pay rent, but only pay a share of the output. I am just worried that these people will collude with the monks to do something that is against the will of heaven and earth."

Qin Yuan comforted her, "The matter has not been concluded yet, mother, don't worry too much. This time, we will take advantage of the investigation to find out everything clearly, and then ask the elders of the clan to discuss it together. Even if there is nothing, it is good to be prepared. It is not a big deal for the mansion to spend a little more money."

"Okay," Mrs. Gu was satisfied.

Her daughter-in-law does not care too much about money, knows what is important and what is not, is smart and has a long-term vision. What else can she be dissatisfied with?

The only one who is dissatisfied is the son in front of him.

Old Madam Gu glared at the ignorant third child covertly.

Lord Gu was confused and said hurriedly, "Sixteen, what else did you find? Come in and tell me."

Gu Shiliu had already rushed back and was waiting outside for a while. Hearing this, he responded and walked in.

Madam Gu asked immediately, "Sixteen, what else did you find in the family temple?"

Gu Shiliu glanced at the young masters and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Madam Gu then ordered Aunt Rong to take them downstairs.

Gu Shiliu then said, "I followed Madam's instructions and arrested several monks and the firework Taoist priest who wandered around the Zen room at night. I interrogated them individually, but I haven't found anything yet."

The implication is that these people are very stubborn.

Qin Yuan continued to wait for what was to come.

Gu Shiliu took out an ornament that looked like a curled gold leaf from his bosom, placed it in his palm, and said, "After Admiral Jin brought his men here, I led them to dig out all the dirt in the dry well. We only found some rotten fabrics and a few broken bones. We also found this..."

Old Madam Gu stared at the gold ornaments in Gu Shiliu's hand, her body trembling slightly, and her voice was as vague as fallen leaves in the wind.

"...You...what is that you are holding? Bring it closer so I can see it."

Gu Jinghui also looked intently, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
