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

Chapter 536 What to do?
Cui sighed in her heart.

At this time, Chi'er was still competing with Qin Yuan, but now she could only compete with Madam Yu from her brother-in-law's family.

As for her obsession with the idea of ​​a husband being honored and a wife being wealthy, even if that really happened, that would be a matter for the future.

But seeing that Qin Wan finally became happy again, Cui Shi really didn't want to spoil her mood, so she just said, "Don't talk nonsense. Mother has never treated her harshly. The doctor comes to our house every year to check her pulse. How could she not have a child? Even though she supports you, you shouldn't say that. If your father hears it, he will definitely scold you again."

Qin Wan whispered, "I don't know if Qin Yuan can have children, but Lord Gu can't, and everyone in the capital knows it. Mother, don't you know it yet?"

Cui was startled and her hand trembled, and the bone she was holding fell into the plate with a dull sound.

"Aren't they all rumors?"

"Oh," Qin Wan curled her lips and revealed a meaningful smile: "We all thought it was a rumor before, but after Ziqi got to know Xu Tang, we found out..."

She lowered her voice and whispered, "This was spread by the director of the hospital who treated Lord Gu. How could it be false? The emperor knows everything, otherwise he would have used Lord Gu as a knife to punish the three dukes and nine ministers. Why did he change his mind now?"

Cui's expression became increasingly ugly.

Qin Wan was getting happier as she spoke: "Your Majesty is worried that the direct bloodline of the Gu family will be extinct. Sixth Master Gu is weak, and the child will be with him. In the future, the Dingbei Marquisate will only be an empty title... Fortunately, the war is over, and the Dingbei Marquisate is no longer needed. Your Majesty also wants to fulfill the righteousness of the monarch and his subjects, so as to avoid being criticized by future generations. Otherwise, how could Master Gu have such an easy life."

When Lin Ziqi told her this, she was skeptical, but she believed it as soon as she heard it.

Otherwise, why didn’t Lord Gu and Zhao have any children in his previous life?

The root of the problem must be Lord Gu.

Qin Wan felt less upset when she thought that she had a child while Qin Yuan still had no children in her life.

All the loneliness, depression and indignation from my previous life were also relieved.

Cui's face was gloomy. She said, "Yuan'er didn't even come back to tell us about something like this. Do you still regard us as your parents? Your father even said that these were all rumors."

Qin Wan rolled her eyes and said, "Maybe she was also kept in the dark. Otherwise, Madam Gu praised her so highly, and Marquis Gu boasted about his beloved wife everywhere. In fact, they were all acting to deceive her because she was young and ignorant. Think about it, mother. No matter how pretty and capable the eldest sister is, she is just a concubine's daughter of the Jijiu family. Marrying into the hereditary Marquis's mansion is already marrying up. Whose mother-in-law and husband would treat her so well? In my opinion, there must be something fishy when something is abnormal."

Cui sighed, "Every day, your children are a debt. Why is your marriage so troublesome?"

How old is Qin Yuan now?

Is this how I'm going to live my whole life?
The child hasn't come back to say anything.

Did she feel that the Jijiu Mansion was unable to support her? Or was there something else going on?

Cui couldn't eat anymore, but Qin Wan's appetite increased greatly, and she even took a food box with her before leaving.

Seeing her behavior, Cui felt even more upset.

In the evening, Qin Jijiu was lying on the bed in a daze, planning to meet Duke Zhou, but was pulled aside by Cui to talk to him, rambling on and on.

Qin Jijiu sighed, "You have been married for so many years, what are you hiding? Just tell me."

Cui said: "I heard Wan'er say..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Jijiu turned over anxiously and said with suppressed anger: "If you want to plead for my good son-in-law again, then don't say anything."

Cui was very angry. She stretched out her long nails, pinched the soft flesh on Qin Jijiu's waist and twisted it hard.

"Ah~!" Qin Jijiu shouted.

The mansion was not big to begin with, with the houses built next to each other. The shout frightened Qin Heng so much that he shivered.

"What's so good about having a wife?"

Qin Heng shook his head.

This situation is because my mom and dad are fighting again.

After getting married and having children, he lives such a troublesome life. Oh, why is this person so pessimistic?

In the dark night, Qin Jijiu turned over and sat up, clenching his fists with his teeth bared. He wanted to hit Cui, but he didn't dare. He took a long breath and said, "What's wrong with you, woman? What can't you say nicely?"

Cui also sat up and said unhappily, "With that tone of yours, do you mean to speak properly?"

She felt so depressed that she was looking for an opportunity to vent her anger. She simply got up and lit the lamp. After the two of them had a big quarrel, Cui said, "Your second son-in-law is now close to the poor football player in the Xu family. He has heard some terrible news."

"You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Let him study hard and stop trying to get ahead all day long. Don't hang out with those bad people. I don't want to hear a word he says. He keeps making trouble every day. Doesn't he know that he will have to take the exam next year? Look at Siyuan. He doesn't care about anything else outside the window and only focuses on reading the books of sages."

Qin Jijiu was very angry.

Recently, their family has been in turmoil because of their second daughter's family.

Cui sneered, "This concerns your eldest son-in-law. Your eldest daughter's life depends on it. Why don't you listen?"

Qin Jijiu was speechless.

After a long while, she said softly, "Then just tell me, what is it that keeps you awake at night? Your husband will help you to relieve your stress. After that, we can go to bed early. We still have to go to court tomorrow."

Seeing that it was getting late, Cui did not dare to make a fuss anymore and repeated what Qin Wan had said to Qin Jijiu.

Qin Jijiu pondered for a while, raised his eyebrows and asked: "What are your plans for this matter?"

Cui was annoyed: "What should I do? Your good daughter has suffered a great injustice, but she didn't come home to tell her. Do you think her parents are incompetent and can't support her?"

Qin Jijiu sneered and said, "What support do we have? Lin Ziqi is just a scholar, we can't support him, and we have to rely on the power of the eldest son-in-law."

Cui said dejectedly: "Is that it?"

Qin Jijiu said, "Don't make it public yet. Yuan'er has her own ideas, but she is still young, so it is inevitable that she will think of things unexpectedly. Choose a day to go to her house and talk to her, and then see if Madam Gu is like Wan'er said, and she coaxed Yuan'er because she felt guilty."

Cui could only nod and agree.

The two of them turned off the lights and went to bed, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep.

Cui sighed, "Yuan'er is pretty and knows how to behave. She is much more sophisticated than Wan'er. I thought she would be a little embarrassed and bullied after marrying into the Marquis's Mansion. After she has a son or a daughter, she will slowly gain a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion and her future life will not be too bad. Who knew it would be like this."

Qin Jijiu opened his eyes wide in the dark night and said nothing.

Cui asked again: "If the eldest son-in-law is really inhumane, should we persuade Yuan'er to divorce? Heng'er is getting older and older, and he can't concentrate on studying. Lin Ziqi is unreliable, and he has a grudge against us."

The implication is that the only person who can be relied upon at the moment is Lord Gu. If Qin Yuan divorces, it is unknown what the situation will be like when finding another son-in-law.
