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

Chapter 51: Murderous Aura

Gu Jinghui snorted coldly from the bottom of his throat and said grimly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Seeing his unfriendly tone, Gu Jingjun shrank his neck and muttered, “It’s spread all over the mansion. Even if others don’t say anything, it’s not like I don’t have eyes.”

"Eyes are useless, it's better to dig them out."

Gu Jinghui's voice became even colder.

Gu Jingjun said, “Third brother, your murderous aura scares even me, so isn’t the delicate Third Sister-in-law afraid? You are only good at brandishing swords and guns, and you don’t know how to be gentle with women, compose poems, or paint. I think you are a good match for that Miss Zhao from the northern frontier. Her two children are very fierce, and they can’t play with my children. Third Sister-in-law might be bullied by them in the future.”

Gu Jinghui's narrow eyes shone with cold light, and there was murderous intent on his stern face.

Gu Jingjun took a few steps back cautiously.

"If you don't know how to speak, don't speak. If you dare to say such nonsense again in the future, don't blame me for destroying you."

Leaving behind words as cold and hard as a knife, Lord Gu walked away.

The fearless Gu Liuye hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Third brother, you really need to give me money, money to save your life."

Lord Gu said coldly, "If you say more good things about me and your third sister-in-law, saying that we are a perfect match, and that we will be together forever, grow old together, and have many children, I will give you money."

Master Gu Liu: “…”

Before he could regret it, Gu Jinghui gave him a cold look and walked away with big strides.

Mr. Gu Liu didn't know that his third brother had already taken this matter to heart, and the accountant in the mansion would soon receive an order not to give him a penny except for the monthly allowance.

Gu Jinghui ran straight back to Wutong Garden with a nameless anger burning in his heart.

The garden was quiet, with only a few maids guarding the corridor.

"Where's Madame?"

"My Lord, the Madam is resting inside. Cuiming and Hongye have been sent out by the Madam to supervise the housekeepers."

Gu Jinghui nodded, not wanting anyone to serve him, and walked into the house with his hands behind his back.

The maids were still hesitating whether to go in and pass on the message.

Lord Gu has already entered the house.

There was no one in the outer room. On the table were calligraphy copies and large characters that he had just copied this morning.

There are some recently washed brushes on the pen mountain.

Gu Jinghui carefully checked and tasted it.

Qin Yuan has a beautiful handwriting, which seems elegant and smooth, but actually contains strength and occasionally sharp strokes, just like her.

His heart slowly calmed down.

Qin Yuan has already married him and is destined to be his wife and have children with him. This is a fact that cannot be changed by a few words from others.

He would be in harmony with her and live in harmony with her, blinding the eyes of those people.

What's more, his wife cares about him and her heart and eyes are full of him.

As long as those things that get in the way are gone, good days are ahead.

Gu Jinghui turned around and was about to leave when he caught a glimpse of a piece of jade-plate flowered paper with something written on it in small calligraphy that looked very elegant.

The daughter of a civil servant is indeed exquisite.

He couldn't help but pull it out and take a look.

The flowered paper is delicately made, with magnolia flowers as the background, and the pink paper surface exudes a faint fragrance.

Gu Jinghui glanced at it and saw the words "忆" (remember) and "思" (think) in just a few lines. His heart started beating like thunder and he could not read any more. There was a noise outside the door and he hurriedly put the flowery paper back where it was.

Then Hongye's voice was heard in the corridor: "Has anyone come to look for the young lady?"

The maids replied, "No, Madam said that if anyone reports the news, we should invite them to sit in the flower hall."

"Very good. This is related to the madam's money-making matter. You should all pay close attention to it."

The maids gathered around Hongye and talked, while Gu Jinghui turned around and walked out, returning to the side room.

"Hongye, it's been so long and she still doesn't know how to call me Madam. She really needs a lesson."

Gu Jinghui picked up the teapot, the tea was cold.

He reached out and picked up the pastry on the table, but it was not his favorite hibiscus cake.

All in all, nothing went right.

When Hongye heard that the Marquis had returned, she hurried into the inner room to serve. Seeing that there was no one in the room, she realized that the Marquis had returned to the side room. She did not say anything more, but took a small stool and stood outside, chatting with the maids.

After a while, Mother Cai came and asked hurriedly, "Is Miss Cuiming here?"

Hongye smiled and said, "Cui Ming went with Mother Lu to settle the accounts in the needlework room."

Mother Cai was surprised and asked, "Why do we need to check the accounts for no reason?"

The accounts are reviewed only once a year.

Could it be that Madam Hou is not confident enough about taking over and wants to sell it again?

Or did you find something wrong?
Hongye said, "Madam had asked the housekeepers to check the accounts with Sixth Madam before. The previous accounts were under Sixth Madam's charge, and the future accounts were under Madam's charge. Madam Lu should have known everything clearly by now. But this morning, Madam Lu said she wanted to buy embroidery thread. Madam asked her how much embroidery thread she needed in previous years, how much she bought this year, and how much was left. She couldn't answer. Madam asked Cuiming to help her check the accounts, so that she wouldn't be confused when closing the accounts at the end of the year."

Not only did Mrs. Cai nod her head after hearing this, but Gu Jinghui who was sitting inside also nodded.

Madam Cai said, "Madam Hou is meticulous and careful in her work."

Hongye said proudly: "Madam has many advantages, you will know it later."

Mother Cai said, "I came here because I want Miss Cuiming to tell Madam Hou something. Miss Cuiming is not here, so I think it will be the same if I ask Miss Hongye."

Hongye asked, "What's the matter? Madam is resting, can you tell me first, Madam Cai?"

Madam Cai whispered, "Last time I asked Miss Cuiming to contribute a share. I don't know how Madam Zhao, who is beside the Sixth Madam, found out about this. Just now, the housekeepers were discussing matters in Songtao Pavilion. She spread the news everywhere and encouraged everyone to contribute. I think it's so strange."

Hongye nodded.

Mother Cai added, "It's impossible to make money in business without losing money. I thought about it when I gave my share. But if everyone else gives, it's fine if I make money, but if I lose money, I don't know what people will say about Madam behind her back. This matter was caused by me, so how can I not worry about Madam?"

Hongye said, "Madame Zhao and Sixth Madam came this morning to pay their tribute, and Madam has made it clear that business can make profits and losses, and we cannot regret it when we lose money. If we withdraw midway, we will return it to you at the current market price, minus the expenses. All of this is written in black and white on the receipt."

Madam Cai was anxious and said, "Everyone is in high spirits now. You can say something, but who will listen to you? If something happens, Madam will lose her prestige among the housekeepers."

Hongye said: "But if we don't agree now, they will bear a grudge against us when we make money later."

Mother Cai sighed.

Inside the house, Gu Jinghui also frowned.

Hongye said, "Madam has thought of it all. Madam Cai, there is no need to be upset. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Madam agreed to take you as a partner because she expected this day. I will tell Madam how you feel about her."

Mrs. Cai's tone became relaxed, and she said, "I never thought that Madam is so successful."

Hongye said: "Madam has been reading books and understanding the truth since she was young. She has learned great principles from the saints in the books, which is different from us."
