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

Chapter 491 Uninvited Guest

"Madam also knows about this?"

Butler Han's usually dignified face showed an expression of surprise, which looked very strange.

"Isn't it?" Butler Cao leaned in and whispered, "I just heard Madam hint to the chief official of Prince Qi's mansion that the Yelu family had no money to buy pepper. Doesn't that mean she knows what happened last night?"

Butler Han clapped his hands and laughed, "Great! Madam and our Marquis are a perfect match. I was privately worried that Madam was a delicate and weak young lady from a civil official's family, and that she was very strict with the rules, and that she and the Marquis would not get along. I didn't expect that they are such a perfect match."

Butler Cao nodded and sighed, "I really want everyone in the world to know that the two of them are a perfect match."

Steward Han patted Steward Cao on the shoulder and said, "I know you, old man, have been holding your breath for more than ten years. Don't worry! Our Marquis has the elegance of his ancestors. You see, he didn't get dazzled by the emperor's reward when he came back from the northern frontier. He just cleaned up the wild donkeys. Those brats were so happy last night. If I were twenty years younger, I would have done it with them. Beat them when they say they want to, burn them when they say they want to, rob them when they say they want to, and put out the fire when they say they want to. Even if the wild donkeys know, what can they do?"

Housekeeper Cao said, "Madam will personally examine the accountants this afternoon. Do you want to go?"

"Of course I want to go."

The two of them had agreed to go and see how the Madam selected and tested the accountants. The doorman came over in a hurry and said, "The two housekeepers are here. Princess Fuyun wants to see the Madam."

Butler Han glanced at Butler Cao.

A thought flashed through the minds of both of them. The Seventh Princess was really anxious. She came to visit right after the funeral was held in the Marquis' Mansion.

Butler Cao said, "Why don't you hurry up and report to the Madam?"

The concierge said, "Princess Fuyun did not use the princess's ceremonial guards, and she has never handed in a letter before."

Butler Cao thought for a moment and said, "You deal with it first. I'll go ask the lady."

The doorman went to the front door to deal with it, and Butler Cao ran quickly to the second door.

When they arrived at the meeting courtyard, Qin Yuan was discussing various matters related to the Mid-Autumn Festival with the housekeepers. Seeing him coming, Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Housekeeper Cao is so anxious, but who else is coming to visit?"

Steward Cao said, "Princess Fuyun has arrived without her guard of honor. She wants to see Madam."

Qin Yuan was surprised and said, "The sun is rising from the west."

I'm afraid everyone in the mansion knows Princess Fuyun's feelings for Marquis Gu, except Marquis Gu himself.

Every time I see her, she is either full of resentment or full of anger.

Although I helped her out last time and showed some goodwill, I was not so close to her as to visit her without a wedding invitation or ceremonial guard.

Butler Cao watched Qin Yuan's heart and waited for her instructions.

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to the door and personally welcome her to the flower hall in the outer courtyard to sit for a while. You send someone to inform Sixth Master so that he won't run into her."

Butler Cao immediately went to clear the area.

Hongye said, "Fortunately, the chief official of Prince Qi's mansion left not long ago, and Miss hasn't changed into her formal attire for meeting guests yet, otherwise it would be too much trouble."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "In the future, we should prepare a few sets of clothes and headgear for meeting guests, so that we don't have to run back and forth."

Hong Mian immediately said, "As Madam ordered, I will move the box here tomorrow and have someone watch over it."

Qin Yuan said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you. Hongye usually takes care of my clothes and jewelry, but I'm afraid she's too busy. You can help her a little."

Hongmian happily agreed and said to Hongye, "I'll trouble Sister Hongye to give me more guidance in the future."

Hongye nodded: "It just so happens that Madam will need to add a lot of jewelry and clothes in the future, and I can't do it all by myself. With your help, you can go in and out and make a book, so that it won't be messy." Hongmian said: "Don't worry, Sister Hongye, I will do my best."

Qin Yuan adjusted her hair in front of the dressing table, then hurriedly took her maids to the front door to welcome Princess Fuyun.

Princess Fuyun had already gotten off the carriage and entered the mansion. She was surrounded by a group of maids and nannies standing at the porch. Seeing Qin Yuan coming to greet her in person, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Madam, for welcoming me in person."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "I am honored that the princess has come to my humble home. How can I not come to greet you?"

Princess Fuyun's dress today was much more simple than usual. She smiled before she spoke, appearing even more kind and amiable.

While Qin Yuan was secretly guessing her purpose, she greeted her and led her to the flower hall.

Princess Fuyun sighed, "I come and go in a hurry every time, and I have never taken a close look at the scenery of the Marquis' Mansion."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "If the princess has nothing to do today, I can be your guide."

Princess Fuyun waved her hands hurriedly and said with a smile, "Let's wait until the next banquet. I came to bother you without sending an invitation in advance, which is already rude. Fortunately, Madam doesn't mind, so how dare I push it further?"

Seeing her humble attitude, Qin Yuan couldn't say anything else, so she just smiled and said, "It's not that serious."

Princess Fuyun said seriously, "The Princess's Mansion doesn't have as many people as the Marquis' Mansion. The chief official in charge of the mansion is already overwhelmed. Madam is in charge of the affairs inside and outside the Marquis' Mansion, so she must be very busy. You can't be a bad guest when you are a guest, and make the host want to kick you out."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Princess Fuyun is really funny. How can she be called a bad guest? There are indeed a lot of things to do in the mansion, but the housekeepers are very capable and experienced. With their help, I can relax a lot."

Seeing that Qin Yuan was not at all self-conceited, Princess Fu Yun felt ashamed in her heart.

"In the past, I was arrogant and ignorant of the sufferings of the world. I have offended Madam a lot. I hope Madam will forgive me."

Princess Fuyun's words completely confused Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "What happened in the past is in the past. I guess the princess just listened to other people's slander and misunderstood me. The princess is thinking about the favor of the marquis, so it's inevitable that she has too high expectations of me. This is also human nature."

Princess Fuyun said, "Brother said you are intelligent and generous, and it is true. I was blinded by my own blindness and was disrespectful to you before. But I will not be like this in the future."

She addressed me by my last name in every sentence, and her desire to get close to me was obvious.

Qin Yuan quickly waved her hand and said, "Your Highness Prince Qi, thank you for your compliment."

The two of them sat in the flower hall and chatted for half a day, talking about topics like flowers and plants, and finally got to the point.

Princess Fuyun asked, "I wonder if Madam can find a way to bring that Young Master Nantang to meet me?"

Qin Yuan: “…”

What's so good about this Young Master Nantang? Why did Qin Wan ask Princess Fuyun again?

Seeing Qin Yuan's hesitation, Princess Fu Yun hurriedly asked, "But this Nan Tang Master has a strange temper, so strangers are not allowed to approach him?"

Hongye couldn't help but squint her eyes.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "I'm not familiar with him, so I don't know what his temperament is like, but I heard from my cousin that Master Nantang likes to be alone..."

Princess Fuyun looked disappointed.

Qin Yuan asked, "I wonder why the princess wants to see that Nantang master?"

Princess Fuyun blushed, and after a long while she said, "I, I also read the poems of Master Nantang, and I was yearning for him. Other people's poems are also good, but Master Nantang's poems are more elegant and graceful, which shows that he must be a famous scholar with extraordinary elegance."
