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

Chapter 537: Unspeakable Weirdness

When Cui was about to fall asleep, Qin Jijiu said, "Nine out of ten things in the world are not as you wish."

Cui understood in her heart that Qin Jijiu was reluctant to part with his eldest daughter and son-in-law.

This is to act with your own camera.

……

Qin Yuan waited until night but did not see Lord Gu come back, so she had to go to bed in a bad mood.

When I got up in the morning and saw the bedding beside me was clean, I knew that Lord Gu had not returned home the night before, and I couldn't help feeling a little worried.

When Hongye came in to serve, she saw Qin Yuan sitting on the bed, hugging a bright red quilt in a daze, her black hair falling like a waterfall, and only half of her pretty porcelain-white face showing.

Just like a crabapple tree that has just woken up, the morning dew is about to drip on the half-opened petals.

Who wouldn’t be moved by this?

Hongye instantly forgot all the worries of the night and just stared at his young lady silently.

Qin Yuan, on the other hand, raised her head and asked with a smile, "Why are you standing there like an idiot without saying anything?"

Hongye finally came back to her senses and said, "I saw that the young lady was thinking about something and was afraid of disturbing her."

Qin Yuan stretched lazily, lifted the quilt, and began to get dressed.

Hongye said cautiously, "I don't know what's happened to Sixteen and the Marquis. They haven't been home for a whole day and night."

Qin Yuan chuckled, "Don't think about it. If the enemy comes, we will fight back. If the water comes, we will block it with earth. The Marquis and his men are all back from the battlefield. Why do we, the women in the inner house, need to worry about it?"

Hongye was relieved: "That's right, I was worrying too much."

The whole person suddenly felt light and cheerful.

Qin Yuan curled the corners of her lips. Although she said it in a relaxed manner, she was actually very worried.

But what’s the use of worrying?
As soon as Qin Gang finished washing, Qiu Ju came with two maids, holding food boxes, and said, "Madam, the old lady saw that there were some of the breakfast dishes in the kitchen today that Madam usually likes to eat, so she specially asked the maid to bring them here."

Hongmian went forward and opened the food box, and it was indeed all the food that Qin Yuan liked to eat every time he went to the upper room for meals.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Mother is so nice. She even thought of me during breakfast. I wanted to go to her place to eat something while the Marquis was away, but I didn't expect that I woke up a little late, so she sent someone to bring it to me."

Qiu Ju smiled and said, "The old lady is hoping that you can eat more often in the upper room. She said that the Marquis has a lot of things to do, and now he is in charge of the imperial examination, so he can go back home to rest every day. When things here are done, I am afraid he will have to live in the camp permanently. If you feel bored, you can go to the upper room to eat more and chat."

This was a message for the old lady. Qin Yuan stood up quickly and said after listening: "I know what mother said. The Marquis is busy with important matters, so he is naturally not like an ordinary man. I wish I could eat in the upper room every day, but I am afraid that mother will be annoyed with me."

Qiu Ju quickly laughed and said, "What are you talking about, Madam? When Madam went to the upper room, the old lady and Rong Madam were happier than usual, and the old lady also ate more than usual."

Qin Yuan smiled and asked Cui Ming to take out the silver to reward the little maid, and then asked Qiu Ju: "Do you want the perfume pills from last time?"

Qiu Ju smiled coyly and said, "That would be the best. I have been wanting to speak but could never find the chance."

Last time, Manager Leng came to the upper room to pay his respects to the old lady. He talked about the business of Ranxiangju, saying that the lady's incense pills were in short supply and the price had been raised several times, but there was still a long queue of people coming to buy them every day. He also said that the incense pills that the lady gave to the old lady as a gift were even more difficult to buy outside.

Qiu Ju found it even more difficult to speak.

Seeing Qin Yuan asking on his own initiative, he was naturally overjoyed.

Cui Ming pursed her lips and smiled softly, then took out a pack of incense pills from the inner room and handed it to Qiu Ju, saying, "We don't have many left here. Madam is busier now than before, so we have less. You can use them first." Qiu Ju took it with both hands and said happily, "These are already quite a lot."

After seeing Qiuju off, Cuiming came back and saw that the food had been served. She said, "The old lady is worried that the young lady might think too much, so she asked Qiuju to bring breakfast."

Hongye said, "It can be seen that before the young lady married in, the Marquis often did things like this and didn't come back."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. The dishes cooked by my mother's small kitchen are delicious. Let's think about what to send over for dinner."

The three of them had just started eating when the maid outside said, "Madam, the servant at the second gate has brought a letter from the Jijiu Mansion."

"Post?"

Qin Yuan was surprised and asked, "When did you become so distant?"

Hongye hurriedly said, "Hurry up and send the post in."

The maid hurriedly brought the invitation in. Qin Yuan opened it and saw that it was from Cui who said she wanted to visit at noon to discuss something.

Qin Yuan read it over and over again, but couldn't figure out why the invitation was sent out for no reason.

Hongye asked curiously, "Why send a verbal message? Why did you send a special visiting card? This is too..."

It's really awkward for a mother to send a letter to see her daughter.

Moreover, if it is really formal, you shouldn't visit today and then send the invitation today.

All in all, it feels a bit out of place, with a hint of indescribable weirdness.

Cui Ming asked, "Could it be that Madam wants to pay a visit to the old lady, but it is not convenient for her to directly send a visiting card to the old lady without the help of Miss?"

But what does the Qin family want to see Old Madam Gu for?

If you have important business, why can't you send a visiting card directly to Madam Gu?
Qin Yuan frowned and said, "Let someone reply first and tell them that your daughter will prepare the bed to welcome you."

It was not until he met Cui at noon that Qin Yuan felt relieved.

Cui's face was gloomy and her eyes were full of dark circles. It was obvious that she was worried about something.

Qin Yuan greeted him with a smile and asked, "Mother, would you like to go to Wutong Garden first or visit the old lady first?"

Cui said with a sullen face, "Of course I want to see you, old lady, but there is no need to rush. I have something to tell you."

Qin Yuan understood that what Cui wanted to say was still related to himself, so he took Cui directly into the inner room of the main house and asked her to sit down. After sending everyone away, he personally served tea, and presented Cui with rare fruits and snacks that he had prepared long ago, and asked her to taste them.

Everything Cui saw was extraordinary, and she became more and more uneasy. She wanted to say something but hesitated several times. Finally, she picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly. It took her a long time to squeeze out a word.

"Are you still my daughter?"

Qin Yuan was startled, and hurriedly put down the teacup, kneeling on the ground and said, "Mother, why do you say that? Did your daughter do something wrong?"

Cui was angry but could not say anything. After a long while, she said, "Get up. You are old now and married into the Marquis's mansion. You are independent now. I cannot bear your behavior."

Qin Yuan said hurriedly, "Mother, you are really humiliating me by saying that. Could it be that someone has made up something about me in front of me that has made me so angry? Please allow me to interpret it."

Cui said angrily, "Your sister said something in front of me."

After a pause, he continued, "This is not your sister's intentional arrangement. You are sisters, so she is naturally worried about you. Let me ask you, even though you married into the Marquis's mansion, you are still the daughter of my Qin family. This is related to your life, how could you hide it from your parents? Your father heard about it yesterday and didn't sleep well all night. He got up as soon as the cock crowed today and put on his court clothes to go to court."
