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

Chapter 485 Still Needs Patience

"I don't believe that Sister Cheng won't even give you a cup of good tea."

Qin Yuan smiled and joked.

"Well," Doctor Li sat up straight, "You don't know, their adopted son and daughter are quite noisy, and there are not many servants in his family, so they can't handle it. I didn't even see the head of the family when I went there, I just looked at Old Lady Qi."

Qin Yuan immediately became alert and asked, "What are Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er doing?"

"Mrs. Qi said that it was the old woman next to Cheng'er who instigated him. He wanted to take the imperial examination and didn't want to learn martial arts. Cheng'er also said that when he was in the Marquis's Mansion, the Marquis promised to let him enter the Imperial College, but later said that he couldn't go to the Imperial College, but he would still hire the best teacher for them. I didn't expect that when he came to his house, he wanted to change to learning martial arts. He also said..."

Doctor Li glanced at Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Mrs. Qi just wanted to tell me something. What can't she say?"

Doctor Li sighed, "This is the downside of raising someone else's children. Children are ignorant, and if someone instigates them, they will say hurtful things. Cheng Ge'er said that his sister has always studied with the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, but now they don't even have a separate female teacher. It's obvious that they were coaxed to come here for the benefits of the Marquis' Mansion, not because they really wanted to adopt them. The two little ones are now clamoring to go on a hunger strike."

"Hunger strike?"

Qin Yuan was annoyed. She stood up and took two steps, then stopped and said, "Sister-in-law Cheng and I went to the ancestral temple, but she didn't tell me anything. It's obvious that she did this because we were not in the mansion. Didn't the Marquis say that we should stay in the mansion and help take care of her? Is this how you take care of her?"

Doctor Li just laughed.

"That's right, what did your Lord do? You must punish him severely. What should you punish him with?"

He stroked his sparse beard, his eyes wrinkled like chrysanthemums: "Just make him kneel on the washboard in front of the bed."

After saying that, he laughed triumphantly.

It was as if Lord Gu was kneeling right in front of him, begging for mercy.

Qin Yuan sat down and said angrily, "Master, don't joke."

"Okay, okay. Okay."

Doctor Li became serious, picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp. He was indeed a little thirsty.

Qin Yuan poured a second cup.

Doctor Li cleared his throat and said, "Well, what's the matter?"

Qin Yuan seemed to be in a dilemma. After a long while, he made up his mind and said slowly, "Master, you know the situation of my mother's family. My mother is gone. Is there anyone else in her family?"

Doctor Li started coughing violently.

After a long while, he finally stopped coughing and said in a hoarse voice, "Why are you asking these questions instead of just living your life well?"

Qin Yuan stared into his eyes and said, "The old lady's children and grandchildren are all serving her. They cried like this when they mentioned the deceased Fourth Master. My mother was unhappy all day long in the Qin family. I have seen her like this since I was a child, and I feel sad. Besides, the dowry my mother left behind includes the medical books of the Chen family. I also want to find the descendants of the Chen family and pass them on to them so that the family line will not be cut off."

Doctor Li's eyes flickered and he reached for the teacup again.

Qin Yuan tapped her fingers on the table.

"Before, I was too busy to take care of myself, so I had to keep this matter to myself. Now that I have the power to protect myself, I want to fulfill my mother's wish."

In her previous life, she tried her best but could not find anything, and she did not find the descendants of the Chen family either.

In this life, she didn't want to have any regrets. "Master, just tell me."

Doctor Li was uncomfortable: "You are just a bunch of nonsense, girl. You don't even know that your mother is from the Chen family, but I know it. How long have you been married? It's been less than a year, and you're talking about how you can protect yourself."

He quickly glanced around and lowered his voice, "You'd better give birth to a child as soon as possible and truly gain a foothold. You have the skills, so I won't say much about what you can do. I'm afraid I can't think of what you can do. But as your master, I have to remind you a few words: people in this world, whether they are husband and wife, father and son, superiors or friends, monarchs and subjects, all have good times at the beginning, but not all will be good forever."

Qin Yuan felt mixed emotions.

Doctor Li had also told her this in her previous life.

At that time, she put all her heart into Lin Ziqi, and they were a loving and harmonious couple.

Sadly, it started out great but ended badly.

Seeing that Qin Yuan didn't say anything, Doctor Li felt a little discouraged to say this.

No matter who is in the midst of glory, it would be hard to accept being poured with a basin of cold water.

Doctor Li hurriedly made up for it.

"I know you are sincere. But the Marquis is busy with the imperial inspection. I heard that many officials in the court are trying to use his connections. The Crown Prince is sick, the Prince of Qi is the former Crown Prince's half-brother, the Prince of Jin and the Prince of Qishan are both adults, and the Marquis holds military power. I don't know how many eyes are staring at him. You should manage your affairs in the mansion and don't be impatient. When the time comes, we will meet naturally. For now, just be patient."

His reaction was exactly what Qin Yuan expected.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Master, I have taken note of what you said. Master, if you are not sincere to me, how could you say such a thing? If I don't understand, wouldn't your efforts be in vain? But Master, think about it, the Marquis and I are newlyweds. If I want to investigate the affairs of the Chen family or settle the descendants of the Chen family, the Marquis will definitely agree."

Doctor Li picked up the teacup and stirred the tea leaves, but did not drink it. He just stared at the clear yellow-green water in a daze.

Qin Yuan didn't say anything either.

Doctor Li thought for a moment, raised his head and looked at Qin Yuan, and said solemnly: "This is a serious matter, don't worry, wait until I think it through."

After a pause, he continued, "I still say the same thing, you should manage it well. Madam Gu is broad-minded and doesn't make things difficult for others, and the Marquis trusts and loves you. This is your blessing. You should cherish this blessing, and never be arrogant and think that this is your fate. At first, nothing will happen, but people's fortunes can be high or low. When your fortune is high, you will naturally be happy everywhere, but when your fortune is low, you must be careful and patient. It will be hard to bear if you are arrogant."

Qin Yuan nodded.

Doctor Li continued, "I hope to see you live your life in peace and happiness. The Chen family incident happened so long ago, and it involves the secret affairs of the court. You..."

He put down the teacup in his hand before saying anything else.

Xiaodong rushed in covered in dirt like a frightened horse, scaring the two of them.

The voice of the maid guarding the door finally came from behind: "Madam, Xiaodong is here."

"What a panic you are in!"

Doctor Li blew his beard and glared.

Qin Yuan asked curiously: "Xiaodong, did you go to the martial arts training ground to ride a horse? What happened?"

Xiaodong hurriedly pulled Doctor Li's sleeve and said, "It's urgent, I don't have time to say more, Master, please follow me. The Marquis is about to beat that Yelu man to death, and Sixteen said that this is not acceptable. But Sixteen couldn't persuade the Marquis, so I hurried over to find Master."

Doctor Li's butt was heavy and he couldn't move. "...Ah? This, this, if Lord Gu really beat someone to death, I can't save him."
