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

Chapter 499 The battle between men

Qin Yuan also laughed.

Hongye asked curiously: "What are you two laughing at?"

Cui Ming said: "You will know in a moment."

after awhile.

The person who had gone to get the news came back and reported that the Marquis would be back soon.

Qin Yuan embroidered a few more stitches and roughly embroidered a pair of wings.

When Lord Gu came back, he saw his wife sitting under the window concentrating on embroidering his undershirt. He immediately smiled and said, "Madam, have you chosen the pattern?"

Qin Yuan looked up when he heard the voice.

Lord Gu reached through the window and took the embroidery frame, praising it, "The stitches are fine and the shape is beautiful."

"As long as my husband likes it." Qin Yuan said softly, "It's worth it that Cui Ming and I spent several days thinking about it before choosing it."

After hearing this, Lord Gu looked at it again and again, pondering for a long time.

"Such a small pattern, but she was able to embroider it so well that one can tell at a glance that it is a Pegasus with wings. Madam is truly a lady of great virtue."

He handed back the embroidery frame, and said with anticipation: "Wait until I put it on, and see what else Admiral Jin can show off."

This is going to challenge Admiral Jin.

Qin Yuan embroidered a few more stitches and said, "...Mrs. Jin told me when she was drunk that she made Brigadier General Jin kneel at home, and Brigadier General Jin didn't dare to stand. Besides, I saw that Mrs. Jin... didn't seem to be able to do fine needlework."

Gu Jinghui's smug look suddenly froze on his face.

It makes this unruly and handsome face look a little silly.

After a long while, he said, "You, you mean, Admiral Jin is lying to me?"

Good guy!
How dare you fool your superiors?

Really tired of living.

Qin Yuan said faintly: "Maybe I didn't lie to you, it's just that it wasn't embroidered by Madam Jin."

Lord Gu was stunned again.

If it wasn't embroidered by Mrs. Jin, then it must have been embroidered by General Jin's concubine.

Lord Gu hurriedly jumped into the house from the window.

"Yuan'er, I have absolutely no intention of taking a concubine. Believe me. I am different from Admiral Jin."

Qin Yuan sighed: "I believe you, there is definitely no such thing now."

They haven't even consummated their marriage yet, and they still want to take a concubine?
Just put it there for fun?
What a joke.

Lord Gu said hurriedly: "There won't be any in the future."

Although Qin Yuan repeatedly said that she did not object to him taking a concubine, Lord Gu knew very well in his heart that no woman would like her husband to take a concubine.

What she could not tolerate even more was that her husband favored his concubine and disrespected his wife.

Qin Yuan put down the embroidery frame.

"Let's not talk about this. Mother cried a lot yesterday. Doctor Li came to see her and prescribed some medicine. I wanted to have lunch with her at noon, but she said that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival and she had a lot of things to do, so I didn't need to rush over. The housekeeper and accountant in the inner courtyard of the mansion have been replaced, so I have to tell her. How about we go over for dinner?"

Lord Gu nodded and said, "It's a good opportunity to tell mother about the burning of the Wild Donkey Mansion."

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Then?"

Lord Gu understood and said, "It's okay to tell mother, but forget about the others."

Qin Yuan agreed.

The two of them went upstairs hand in hand.

After leaving the courtyard, Lord Gu finally came to his senses and said, "Commander Jin is wearing an undershirt embroidered by my concubine, but I am wearing one embroidered by my wife. Haha. What is there to compare between Commander Jin and me?"

If he wanted Mrs. Jin to embroider it, Lieutenant General Jin didn't know how much effort it would take. Besides, even if it was embroidered, would it be as beautiful as Yuan'er's?

Lord Gu couldn't wait to put on his underwear and show it off in front of Brigadier General Jin, so that he could experience the envy he had felt in the past.

Qin Yuan smiled but said nothing.

She planned to let Cuiming embroider it later...

But she embroidered a head, which means it was embroidered by her, there is nothing wrong with it.

Most men don’t know how to read stitches anyway.

The two of them arrived at the upper room. When Rong Mama saw them, she said, "The old lady is feeling better now that she is with the young master and young lady."

This is a hint that if there is any bad news, don't tell it.

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "We came here to have a free meal. Besides, if the housekeeper and the chief accountant of the inner courtyard are replaced, we must also tell mother."

"Who changed?"

Old Madam Gu heard it from inside the room and asked through the curtain.

The little maid hurriedly raised the curtain, and Qin Yuan walked in with a smile: "Mother, the housekeeper and the chief accountant of the inner courtyard have been replaced."

Overnight, Madam Gu seemed to have aged ten years.

Qin Yuan sighed inwardly.

I don’t know how this old man survived those years.

Madam Gu frowned and thought for a while, then said, "It seems like he has committed some crime. You mentioned it before."

Qin Yuan said, "That's right. Steward Han and Steward Cao both think highly of Accountant Wan. The Marquis and I have personally tested him and found him to be quite capable. The former deputy Steward Qian was promoted to the position of Inner Court Steward. We should have asked Steward Qian and Accountant Wan to come and pay their respects to the old lady, but since my mother needs to rest, we asked them to come another day."

Madam Gu raised her eyebrows and asked Aunt Rong, "Whose accountant is Wan?"

Rong Mama smiled and said, "You forgot about the Wan family, which manages the money and grain. They only have one young son, who is very sick and has never been to the battlefield. He works in the mansion."

Qin Yuan said: "Now I am in better health and am raising my brother's two children."

Madam Gu said, "I was wondering who it was, and it turns out to be his family. The child is not feeling well, so let Doctor Li treat him. Doctor Li is a capable person, and I heard that Madam Qi's eyesight is almost cured."

Qin Yuan said, "Mother, the Marquis has already agreed to invite Doctor Li to treat him."

Madam Gu said, "That's good, Brother Hui, you must keep in mind those who fought with us and shed blood for the Gu family."

Gu Jinghui said: "Mother, I will never forget it."

"That's good," said Madam Gu. "Our Gu family shed blood for Daxing. If His Majesty forgets us, it will be so heartbreaking. They shed blood for us, so we can't forget it either."

"Yes!"

Gu Jinghui answered loudly: "Don't worry, mother. I won't let our Gu family's blood be shed in vain."

If the emperor forgot, he would help him remember.

If others don't give him justice, he will find ways to get justice on his own.

Madam Gu glanced at Madam Rong, and Madam Rong took everyone else away and closed the door. Madam Gu then asked, "The hostage house was burned down yesterday. Was it you who did it?"

Lord Gu grinned and said, "So mother already knew."

"How can I not know you?"

Madam Gu said, "You must be careful. It's not good to be caught by someone."

"Don't worry," Lord Gu was beaming with joy, "Not only did my son burn down the hostage house, he also emptied out all the property there. Yuan'er said that the source of their money was unknown, and they would never dare to tell anyone."

Madam Gu looked at Qin Yuan and said affectionately, "I wanted you to persuade him, but I didn't expect you to help him."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "The husband sings and the wife follows. Besides, the Yelu family should also learn a lesson. I was just about to ask mother how she spent the money."

"You're going to spend it now?" Lord Gu asked in surprise, "I haven't even figured out the amount yet, and you've already planned how to spend it?"

Madam Gu also somewhat disapproved.
