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

Chapter 500 Speak Well
Lord Gu said, "Please tell me about it, so that my mother and I can discuss it."

Seeing her son like this, Mrs. Gu stopped the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Qin Yuan explained in detail what he was worried about.

Madam Gu sighed, "My father-in-law is really good at educating his daughter. It's rare for a young girl like you to have such foresight. Tomorrow I will invite the elders to discuss it together. Since the Marquis's Mansion has contributed money and effort, it is natural that we should seek more benefits for our descendants."

Gu Jinghui said, “Mother, why are you so anxious? Yuan’er hasn’t come up with the rules yet.”

Madam Gu glared at him and said, "What do you know? This is a big matter. There are so many people in the clan and they have so many thoughts. How can it be settled in one or two times? Yuan'er is busy with the affairs of the mansion. I will deal with these old guys outside."

Perhaps she had an idea, as Mrs. Gu looked much more energetic.

Gu Jinghui saw it all and felt even more grateful to Qin Yuan.

Then he said, "Okay, son, I won't say much. Mother and Yuan'er can do whatever they want. I just want to find a way to squeeze money out of the Yelu family. When I think that the foundation of our Gu family was built with the money from the wild donkey, I am so happy that I can eat a few more bowls of rice."

Madam Gu curled her lips and said, "You can eat as much as you want from me."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Mother may say she dislikes it, but in her heart she is already very happy."

Madam Gu smiled and said, "Since you are here, mother has to give him face, otherwise she would have beaten him long ago. He only knows how to eat, and others think he became a marquis by eating."

Madam Rong and others came in to serve again. Seeing that Old Madam Gu was much more excited, Madam Rong felt relieved.

When the meal was served, with her son and daughter-in-law by her side, Mrs. Gu ate half a bowl of rice more than she did during the day.

When Rong Mama sent them out, she whispered, "Madam, please come and chat with the old lady more often to relieve her boredom. I see that the old lady has gotten much better."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "It was because the nanny had coaxed the old lady into doing it, so I came and picked up a ready-made one."

Rong Mama smiled and said, "Madam, you are such a sweet talker. Our old lady is so lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law like you."

Lord Gu took Qin Yuan's hand and said with a smile: "I am also a lucky person."

Rong Mama nodded and smacked her lips: "That's right, nothing can be accomplished without you, my good Lord."

After returning to Wutong Garden, the couple sat down in front of the window again.

Qin Yuan picked up the embroidery frame and embroidered a few stitches. Lord Gu leaned his head aside to watch and said, "Why do I feel like my mother and Rong Mama both dislike me because of you?"

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Mother and Rong Mama are the most fair. If they say this, it must be because you did something wrong. You should go to the side and reflect on it."

Lord Gu was shocked: "Oh my, I told you you're fat and you're out of breath."

Qin Yuan asked curiously: "Then what do you want?"

Lord Gu was stunned for a moment, and said sourly: "What else can I do? You have won over everyone in the mansion one by one, and everyone speaks well of you. What else can I do? I am happy for you and proud of you."

"It would be best if you really think so," Qin Yuan was too lazy to pretend anymore, so she put down the embroidery frame and tapped his head, saying, "I thought Sister-in-law Cheng would come to look for me today, but she didn't, so I asked you how you take care of the house. Yesterday, Doctor Li checked Old Lady Qi's eyes and said that the house was a mess." "What's going on now?" Gu Jinghui straightened up and asked curiously, "Gu Jingcheng is so busy at the Wucheng Military Department, and there is only an old concubine at home, who else can make trouble?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jinghui realized it.

Hesitantly asked, "... Is it Brother Cheng and Sister Yu?"

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "They are on a hunger strike because you promised them to go to the Imperial College and then you wanted to invite Mr. Songshan. Mr. Songshan suggested that they learn martial arts. They are making a scene at home, saying that my sister-in-law and her family adopted them just to please the Marquis's mansion and didn't treat them sincerely at all. They are making a scene and they won't eat no matter who comforts them."

Gu Jinghui’s face darkened.

"Why are you getting more and more outrageous?"

If this continues to cause unrest in Gu Jingcheng's family, how will they be accommodated in the future?

Qin Yuan said, "Mrs. Qi asked Doctor Li to pass on a message saying that they were instigated by the fake Mrs. Yang and that they were in cahoots with Yelu Guzha. Also, what did they find out from the interrogation of those Yelu clan members?"

"They were all stubborn. No matter how hard we beat them, they refused to confess. One of them even bit his tongue to commit suicide."

After saying that, Lord Gu glanced at Qin Yuan, a little worried that she would find it bloody. Unexpectedly, Qin Yuan frowned and said, "These Yelu people are fine. That woman can only trick out a few words. My husband, don't you think that Zhao's identity is very unusual? What is Pang Hai's origin? There is no way to find out. In my opinion, the Yelu people value these two children too much."

Gu Jinghui groaned: "You mean..."

Although he was suspicious, he did not dare and was unwilling to make such speculations.

But once Qin Yuan revealed it, there was no way to avoid it anymore.

Qin Yuan said calmly, "You released them next door before, hoping to lure out the Zhao family. Now you've not only caught a few people from the Yelu family, but also Yelu Guzha and his brave generals."

And Zhao hasn't shown up yet.

Gu Jinghui couldn’t sit still any longer, and immediately stood up and said, “I’ll go and interrogate Yelu Xianyong again. He is considered a hero in the Yelu clan, and he has an upright character…”

Before he finished speaking, Qin Yuan sneered and said, "Then you have to ask him carefully why he broke into the ancestral temple that night and pretended to be a hunter to break into my ceremony the next day."

Gu Jinghui smiled and said, “Yes, that’s exactly what I thought of. I wanted to humiliate him. He did something like this and was caught by you because of his carelessness. He felt so aggrieved that he refused to even drink a sip of water.”

"Does he want to kill himself with thirst or starvation?"

Gu Jinghui said, “This man’s character… I have to say, he is a little too strong. Yelu Guzha’s uncle was impressed by his bravery and betrothed his daughter to him. But the girl thought he was too ugly and was depressed all day long. Not long after, she died. He was ridiculed for this, but later he was taken in by Yelu Guzha. He said that he would do something great in his life to let the world know that although he is ugly, he is a man who can stand tall and proud.”

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "He is really unlucky. He lost to you on the battlefield, and fell into my trap yesterday. It's no wonder. Anyone would feel aggrieved."

Gu Jinghui said, “Mr. Songshan just taught me how to control people. You scholars are just cunning. I will try it on him today.”

Qin Yuan blinked and leaned closer to ask, "What did he say?"

Gu Jinghui couldn’t bear it anymore. He covered her eyes that could make people drown with one hand, supported her slender waist with the other hand, and scolded in a low voice: “Don’t act like a spoiled child. Speak properly.”
