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

Chapter 493: The Robbery Plan
“Well, you should remember this sentence too.”

Cui Ming chuckled.

Hongye didn't say anything and turned to go to the small kitchen.

It looks like the meal won’t be served for a while, so we might as well add a couple of dishes that the Marquis likes.

Unexpectedly, the small kitchen had already prepared some vegetables.

Hongye saw it and said, "Yes, you have all prepared yourselves."

The cook smiled and said, "We prepared it when we knew the Marquis was coming back. The Marquis only likes to eat a few dishes and he is not picky about food. We usually reserve some in the kitchen in case of emergency. Now it is used."

Hongye nodded.

"If you do this, everyone will save trouble."

The two chatted for a while, and then they told the dinner to be served.

Hongye and two maids put the food on the table.

Gu Jinghui even took a special look at Hongye.

Hongye was startled and glanced at Qin Yuan quickly. Seeing that Qin Yuan didn't say anything, she slipped out with an excuse and never came back to serve her.

When the food was ready, Qin Yuan asked with a smile, "Why do you scare her all day long?"

Gu Jinghui pretended, “Yuan’er, you are going too far now, accusing me at every turn. When have I ever scared her?”

Qin Yuan snorted, picked up a piece of rouge goose breast with chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "You keep pretending."

Gu Jinghui swallowed a few mouthfuls and laughed, “You saw it too. I just glanced at her and didn’t say a word. She hid outside by herself. Can you blame me for this?”

Qin Yuan said: "You are not allowed to embarrass her."

"Row."

Gu Jinghui started to eat.

Qin Yuan paused and couldn't help asking, "You still haven't told me what happened to Yelu Guzha? Did you find Xu Zhen or Lady Zhao in the hostage house?"

Gu Jinghui said, "Yelu Guzha was so angry that he vomited a large bowl of blood. Today, he went all over the city to find doctors for treatment. He didn't dare to say that I beat him, but only said that he fell from a high place last night. Last night, we were only focused on robbing property, and there were so many concubines and maids in his house that we couldn't see them clearly."

“How many were brought back?”

Qin Yuan asked curiously.

Gu Jinghui lowered his voice, "We emptied it out, leaving nothing behind. The cash alone was nearly 100,000 taels, and the banknotes were even more. We didn't even have time to count the gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques. This guy is very rich, no wonder he was able to bribe officials in the court to speak and act for him."

For the sake of gold, Doctor Liu even gave up his life.

It is true that people and wealth die, and birds die for food.

Qin Yuan said coldly: "He is a defeated hostage, where did he get so much money? I wonder if he dares to report to the authorities."

Gu Jinghui laughed out loud.

"why are you laughing?"

Qin Yuan was puzzled.

Gu Jinghui said, “Sixteen and Eighteen said yesterday that we are more like robbers than robbers. But from your tone, I feel that you are more like a robber than us.”

Qin Yuan also laughed.

Gu Jinghui said, “He did report it to the police, otherwise it would be unacceptable for such a big fire to break out in the hostage house. We were both robbers and reinforcements, carrying water when we went there and money when we came back, and we never went empty-handed. This time, we made a lot of money. Let me tell you, for Gu Shiliu to have lost an eyebrow during this trip, it’s nothing. We earned enough money to marry Hongye.”

Qin Yuan said: "Don't say that in front of Hongye again. She is shy."

Gu Jinghui said: “These are all important military matters, how can I say them in front of her? You underestimate me too much.”

"Then how can you tell me?"

Qin Yuan raised her long and delicate eyebrows.

"You are different," Gu Jinghui said confidently.

"Why is it different?" Lord Gu said, "We are in collusion in this matter. You are my military advisor, so I can't do without you."

Qin Yuan smiled.

Lord Gu also laughed.

He grinned with a mouthful of white teeth, his smile seemed a little silly, but still very pretty.

Qin Yuan thought to herself, Hongye was right, this marriage in this life was really a blessing.

But the greatest luck is that God allows her to start over again and make up for her regrets.

Qin Yuan cleared her throat and didn't look at the man opposite her who was using his handsomeness to disturb her mind for no reason.

"Sixteen has been working with you for so long, he should have saved up a lot of money. Why does he have to rely on this trip to save up enough money to marry him? Where did all the money go?"

I need to ask this question on Hongye's behalf.

If you gamble or...

Let’s forget about this marriage.

Gu Jinghui said, "Of course, his money is all given to his mother. He is not married yet, and he has many sisters and brothers at home, so the wedding expenses will be high in the future. Gu Shiliu said that he has earned a lot since he came back, and he used all his earnings to honor his mother. He doesn't have to spend money on food and clothing in the mansion, and all his earnings are kept in the account for use when he gets married."

Qin Yuan nodded.

He must have earned a lot of money by following Lord Gu on the battlefield, and he used it all to support his family, which shows that he is a good person.

He also knew to save the money for marrying a wife, which is also a good thing.

If she gives Hongye a decent dowry, they can live a good life.

Gu Jinghui asked: "Anything else you want to ask?"

Qin Yuan said seriously, "We have to find out where Yelu Guzha got all this money. If we want to cut off his source of income, we have to dig at the root. Didn't we say before that we would send someone to check what the Yelu family is doing? Do they have any special way to make money?"

It is amazing that a clan that was defeated and forced to leave their homeland could quickly come up with so much money.

Those who are interested will naturally become suspicious.

This is also the reason why Qin Yuan was certain that Yelu Guzha would not dare to speak out.

Gu Jinghui smiled and said, "My wife has the demeanor of a great general. We have the same idea, but the person who went to get the news has not come back yet. But we can't just sit there and wait. Now that he has no money to spend, he will naturally find a way to contact his old subordinates. We will wait for him on the road. Hehe."

Qin Yuan laughed and said, "This is because he is addicted to being a robber."

"That's right. We got the news and ambushed him on the road. He won't even be able to afford porridge in the future."

Gu Jinghui became happier the more he spoke.

Qin Yuan couldn't help laughing either.

"That's the best. He has no money in his hands, and he can't win over the officials in the court. Anyone can step on him. Even if he has great ability, he can only stay at home. Let's see how he can stir up trouble."

Gu Jinghui once again gained a deep understanding of his wife's vengeful nature.

Qin Yuan will not only hold grudges against those who have offended her.

And he showed no mercy to those who had hurt him.

Lord Gu felt a sweet feeling in his heart again, and he wished he could go find Gu Shiliu immediately to show off.

This kid said that Hongye begged the lady to give him the best medicine. Now he understood. This was the evidence that Hongye's heart was full of him.

Been showing off for quite some time.

Even the ostentatious Gu Shiba hated to marry her.

Seeing that Lord Gu was absent-minded again and something was not right, Qin Yuan ignored him and concentrated on eating.

She is in a very good mood at the moment.

As long as Lord Gu cuts off Yelu Guzha's food supply, what waves can a tiny hostage cause in Daxing!
