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

Chapter 54 This is wrong
How one deals with subordinates can reflect one's tolerance and ability.

Gu Jinghui was somewhat curious about what choice his little wife would make.

Should we take it seriously and let it go lightly, or should we punish severely, or should we keep quiet and keep confusion in mind?

Qin Yuan said, "I have already said it before. If she has any relationship with the Sixth Madam, it has nothing to do with me. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. As long as she follows the right path, I have no intention of investigating it."

"But she bullied me today, so I have to take stock of it, otherwise people will think I don't know how to count."

Cui Ming asked: "Miss, do you want to investigate Madam Lu's account strictly and make an example of her?"

Qin Yuan said: "Yes and no."

Hongye was a little confused: "What does this mean?"

Qin Yuan said: "My original intention was not to control these mothers."

Cui Ming understood: "Miss is trying to feed the family."

"Yes, I want to help her, so I can't be soft-hearted, but I can't make too many enemies either. No matter if she jumped out because she was not careful or was instigated by someone, if I let her go, wouldn't it let others know that I am easy to mess with? But I can't be too harsh on her."

"Instigated by someone?" Hongye asked, "Could it be the Sixth Madam?"

Qin Yuan said: "Whoever has all the clever tricks and wants to stir up trouble is the one."

Ever since she married into the Marquis's Mansion, Sixth Madam Gu has never been at peace.

If she had not been calm and prepared, she would have become agitated and irritated, and developed a rift with Gu Jinghui.

Now, Madam Gu Liu keeps showing weakness and goodwill, hinting that she should give birth to a child as soon as possible to secure her position as the Marquis's wife. It can be said that she is trying her best.

Cui Ming sighed, "The Marquis' Mansion is really a den of dragons and tigers. It is much more complicated than the Qin family."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Jinghui in the side room clenched his hands into fists.

If we compare simplicity, isn't it even simpler that the Lin family only has a widowed mother?

Then he heard Qin Yuan say with a smile: "The Qinghe Cui family is an aristocratic family, and my father is the chief priest. Naturally, they must strictly observe the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and not let illegitimate sons and daughters cause trouble, and they dare not favor the concubine. Mother has spent a lot of thought on this."

"My mother took care of all my father's official contacts and relatives' seeking refuge. The Qin family is poor and my father's salary is not high. If it weren't for my mother's planning, I'm afraid it would have been very difficult."

Hongye said, "I thought the young lady would complain when she mentioned Madam."

Qin Yuan said: "As a concubine's daughter, it is difficult to survive, so I am naturally dissatisfied with the deliberate suppression of my stepmother. But as the mistress, I can understand the difficulties of my stepmother. This is just because of our different status."

The more he listened to Qin Yuan talk, the more Gu Jinghui felt that he had married a treasure.

Although the maid Hongye is quick-witted and always impolite and annoying, she is not wrong.

His young wife is a sensible person, different from others.

Qin Yuan continued, "Mr. Dongpo once said: Life is like an inn, and I am also a traveler. How can everything be good? Mother is good to me, which is better than countless others. Women in the world have to serve their mother-in-law most of the time after they marry into their husband's family. There are many women who are tortured to death by their mother-in-law. Mother never lets me set rules, and because of the Marquis, she is always afraid that I will be wronged. What else can I be dissatisfied with?"

Gu Jinghui breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but chuckle.

Cui Ming chuckled and said, "The young lady is not marrying the marquis, but the old lady."

Qin Yuan also smiled happily.

Cui Ming was only half right. She was not marrying the Marquis, but the Marquis's Mansion.

There were voices outside the yard again, along with a few exclamations.

Hongye asked in surprise: "What happened?" Qin Yuan said: "I'm afraid the Sixth Madam is here."

Gu Jinghui listened carefully and found that it was indeed Madam Gu Liu's voice.

Hongye said, "I'll go out and take a look. I wonder if the young lady guessed right this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain snapped and the man ran out of the house and onto the corridor.

Inside the house, Cui Ming asked, "Miss, could it be that the Sixth Madam is here for the people from Fengxuan Pavilion?"

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "I felt sorry for the girl standing in the sun, so I wanted to remind the Marquis. I thought it would be better to ask him to say it in person to stop the girl from thinking about it and avoid other troubles. But I was afraid that the Marquis would feel uncomfortable, so I didn't say anything. Who would have thought that this big Buddha would come here."

Gu Jinghui’s eyes were heavy.

After a while, Hongye came back, followed by Madam Gu Liu and several housekeepers. The corridor immediately became lively.

Mrs. Gu Liu hadn't come in yet, but she was already outside the window, smiling and asking, "Third sister-in-law, are you free?"

Qin Yuan came out to greet him and said, "Sixth brother's wife is here. You must have some good news to come to me."

Madam Gu Liu said, "Sister-in-law San is indeed very good at predicting things."

Cui Ming and Hong Ye couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Qin Yuan also laughed.

Mrs. Gu Liu had no idea what the master and servant were laughing at, so she started laughing too.

Hongye led the way in front, and everyone entered the hall. Cuiming hurriedly arranged for someone to pour tea.

Several housekeepers stood aside with smiles on their faces, acting much more respectful.

Madam Gu Liu did not wait for everyone to take their seats and said, "I just got the news and came here immediately. The owner of my dowry shop heard that someone wanted to sell a large amount of pepper. I wonder if Third Sister-in-law is interested?"

Qin Yuan asked Madam Gu Liu to sit down, and then said, "Of course I am interested. I have also asked people to inquire around, and the Marquis has also sent Seventeen to inquire about the price. There will be a reply in the next few days. When the time comes, I will compare the prices from three different stores. If they are similar, I will buy it."

Madam Gu Liu smiled and said, "Of course, I also contributed to this, so how can I not compare prices from different stores? That's right."

Qin Yuan thanked him, and the two chatted for a while. Madam Gu Liu said, "So, Third Brother is also helping Third Sister-in-law to find out. Third Brother never asked about these things before. I thought Third Brother didn't know about the affairs of the society."

Qin Yuan smiled.

When Gu Jinghui talked about pepper in the upper room, he didn't seem like someone who was not familiar with general affairs.

She considered and said, "Maybe the Marquis saw that I had received a lot of money and kept the accounts, and he was afraid that I would not be able to accomplish anything and bring down his prestige, so he thought of ways to help me."

Everything was said, yet it seemed like nothing was said.

Madam Gu Liu sighed and said, "Third brother loves third sister-in-law. My sixth master only cares about his own happiness outside and is unwilling to take care of the family affairs. Everything inside and outside the house is piled on me. Don't be afraid of third sister-in-law laughing at me. Since I gave birth to a child, my energy is not as good as before. I don't have three heads and six arms, so how can I be so busy. For us women, the most important thing is our children. When we have children, our husbands are put behind."

Between the lines, he was talking about having children again.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Sixth brother and sister-in-law, those who are capable should do more work."

Seeing that she had nothing else to say, Madam Gu Liu continued, "I also brought a few housekeepers with me. They heard that Sixth Sister-in-law was going to start a pepper business, and they all wanted to get in on the fun. I think their daily jobs are hard, and they get up early and come home late. We'll bring them along when we get rich, and they'll remember Third Sister-in-law's kindness in the future."

Qin Yuan said sternly, "Sixth brother's wife is wrong."
