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

Chapter 504 Cutting off his arm
"Did Yelu Xianyong betray his master?"

"No, I don't think so."

"Otherwise, why would Marquis Dingbei drink with him?"

The two people's whispers were soon interrupted by the guard's stern shout.

"Behave yourself! Don't whisper or talk to each other. Otherwise you will be beaten with sticks!"

The two men hurriedly separated, and waited until the guards were not paying attention before communicating with each other using low whistles.

……

In Wutong Garden, Lord Gu and Qin Yuan were lying on the bed chatting.

Qin Yuan asked: "Did Mr. Songshan teach you this move today?"

Lord Gu smiled and said, "Not entirely. Mr. Songshan said that those who love fame will belittle him. Those who love money will lure him and shake his mind, and then they will get the desired result. Literati are really cunning and good at attacking people's hearts."

"You persuaded Yelu Xianyong with just a few words today, which is quite impressive."

In the dark night, Qin Yuan looked at Lord Gu with sparkling eyes, and it was obvious that she thought so from the bottom of her heart.

Lord Gu benefited greatly from it.

"I really like Yelu Xianyong and want to recruit him, but unfortunately, he has already sworn that he will not betray Yelu Guzha. What I said to him today was indeed from my heart, and it was not all false."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Are you going to treat him to a drink tomorrow?"

Lord Gu smiled and said, "Of course."

Qin Yuan asked: "Did Mr. Songshan also teach you this move?"

"No, just do it. Since he is unwilling to betray Yelu Guzha, let Yelu Guzha abandon him."

Lord Gu's expression turned cold and scary: "I want to see how Yelu Guzha can stir up trouble in Daxing without his gold and silver and his left and right arms."

He even wanted to harm his young wife and make her cheat on him.

Really tired of living.

The old grudges have not been settled yet, and new hatreds have been added.

Qin Yuan patted him on the back gently and said, "With his food supplies cut off and no generals available, all he can do is some dirty tricks. We will be careful. If he bumps into us, we will also fight back and teach him a lesson."

These words were very much to Lord Gu's liking.

He said, "I'll ask Lieutenant General Jin to arrange some maids who are skilled in martial arts to protect you. You'll be fine in the mansion, but you'd better be careful outside."

Qin Yuan was surprised and asked, "Will Admiral Jin arrange these things?"

Lord Gu smiled and said, "It was mainly arranged by Madam Jin."

"Mrs. Kim?"

Qin Yuan was even more puzzled.

Lord Gu said, "When Madam Jin was young, she learned sword from the descendant of Gongsun Da Niang. Later, she met Brigadier General Jin, who also knew some martial arts, and the two got married. Later, Brigadier General Jin joined the army to fight for his career, and Madam Jin followed him to the northern frontier. Brigadier General Jin also learned martial arts from Madam Jin. Along the way, Madam Jin suffered a lot and paid a lot of dowry. Otherwise, why would Brigadier General Jin be so afraid of her? Madam Jin has traveled a lot, is knowledgeable, and is very good at training people."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "No wonder Madam Jin seems to be able to influence the Jin family in her words and deeds."

Lord Gu also laughed: "Except for the matter of taking a concubine, Brigadier General Jin listens to Madam Jin in everything else. The concubines of the Jin family may not be afraid of Brigadier General Jin, but they cannot be afraid of Madam Jin. So I asked Baozhu to practice martial arts well. On the one hand, the Gu family will have another successor to martial arts. Secondly, Baozhu has a lively personality. If she makes progress in martial arts... she will not suffer too much in the future." Qin Yuan was silent for a long time.

She had been brought up to be cautious since she was young, and her words and actions had to follow the rules, and she had to hide her edge at all times to protect herself. She had never imagined that raising a daughter in the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion was like this.

Naturally, the Marquis's family would have different ideas about Gu Baozhu's future marriage, so it was not appropriate for her to say too much.

Lord Gu thought she was asleep, so he kissed her gently on the forehead, hugged her tighter, and fell into a deep sleep.

For several days in a row, Lord Gu invited Yelu Xianyong to drink, eat meat, and chat.

Yelu Xianyong was a straightforward man. He was grateful for the treatment given by Marquis Dingbei and he respected him very much. However, he did not realize that his fellow clansmen in prison were becoming increasingly cold towards him, and there was a lot of inquiry and fear in their eyes when they looked at him.

On this day, Yelu Xianyong was drinking and chatting with Lord Gu again.

Lord Gu was not in a very good mood.

Yelu Xianyong asked, "My Lord, what troubles are you in today?"

Lord Gu sighed, "It's all family matters, I'm afraid you won't be patient enough to listen to these trivial matters."

"How?"

Although I didn't call Lord Gu "brother", I felt closer to him in my heart.

Lord Gu poured him a bowl of wine and said, "It's a long story. When I was in the northern frontier, I was saved by a soldier under my command, but he was injured because he blocked the knife for me."

Yelu Xianyong said: "This is a common occurrence on the battlefield. My Lord, you should thank him in the future. I think if he were in danger, my Lord would also help him."

Lord Gu picked up his own wine bowl, clinked it with his, and said, "You still understand me. Cheers."

The two drank it all in one gulp.

Lord Gu said, "But he died in the end. Although the best medicine in the army was used, and the military doctors tried various methods, they still couldn't save his life. I felt guilty and promised him that I would take good care of his wife and children in the future."

When Yelu Xianyong heard this, his eyes twitched. He didn't say anything else, but poured himself another bowl of wine.

Lord Gu continued, "I adopted his two children as my adopted sons and daughters, and after returning to the capital, I settled them in my mansion. I didn't expect that because of my marriage, there would be a rift between the two sides."

Yelu Xianyong's eyes flickered as he asked, "But my sister-in-law can't tolerate them?"

"Well, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. It was the widowed sister-in-law who had other ideas and made trouble with the children. I wanted to find her husband's family to come to Beijing to help take care of them. With the protection of the Marquis' Mansion, the future of the two children will naturally be guaranteed."

Lord Gu told the story of how troubled he was, how angry Zhao was and how she left the mansion overnight, and how smallpox broke out in the mansion. He picked out everything he could to tell.

Yelu Xianyong said, "Now these two children have been fostered in other people's homes, what are you still worried about?"

"I watched these two children grow up with my own eyes. My cousin had no children, so he treated them as his own. He adopted them so that he would have someone to take care of him in his old age. It would be even better if he could bring a child to reincarnate. However, because of the Zhao family's matter, I didn't open a ancestral hall. I wanted to wait until the children were older. If the Zhao family didn't come to claim them, I would register them under their names. They will definitely have a share of the property in the future."

"I didn't expect that these two children listened to gossip from someone and started making a fuss, saying that my cousin's family adopted them just to please the Marquis's Mansion and didn't really treat them well. Now my cousin's family is in turmoil, and I feel really bad."

Yelu Xianyong swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

After a while, Fang said, "My Lord, why do you have to worry about this? As the saying goes, there is always a way when the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge."

At this moment, there were chaotic whistles and the clanging sounds of swords and guns outside.

"Don't let anyone get away."
