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

Chapter 551 Calculation
"What you said is so unreasonable. What can I think about? My hands are made of flesh and blood," Gu Shiliu's mother said angrily, glaring at him and arguing, "They all came out of my belly. They are all my children."

Gu Shiliu's father sneered and said, "Forget it. You already have a bunch of children, and you still say these things, as if no one has never had children. It's true that the palms and backs of your hands are made of flesh, but the flesh on the backs of your hands is not so pleasing. I turned a blind eye to it before, but now it's not the same. Our Shiliu has the protection of the Marquis and the Madam, so don't always think about how to find a marriage that is easy to control to supplement the second son. Don't say I didn't warn you, let's be clear in advance."

Hongmian waited for a long while before she saw Gu Shiliu's parents come in. They both looked troubled, and her heart skipped a beat.

There happened to be a few women from the Gu family sitting there chatting about family matters, so I had no choice but to be patient and deal with them.

Gu Shiliu's mother sat down, sighed, twisted her body, and then sighed again.

Everyone felt something was wrong and fell silent.

Gu Shiliu's father didn't say anything, but just knocked the hookah hard on the table a few times.

Gu Shiliu's mother said hesitantly to Hongmian's mother, "Just now a wandering monk came to our door and said that we can't have a wedding now. We asked about an engagement, but the monk said that it's not possible."

Hongmian's mother immediately became angry: "Where did this bald donkey come from? How dare he come to our house and say such depressing words? Didn't you kick him out?"

Gu Shiliu's mother said, "We gave him some silver and donated some silver coins, and asked him what to do. He said that we should let our Shiliu see the couple in person, otherwise there will be resentment in the future and the family will be in turmoil. But Gu Shiliu is such a cursed person that he refused to come home even after someone sent a letter. Gu Shiba also said that the Marquis had told him to do something these days and he couldn't come back."

The marriage is about to fall through.

Hongmian hurriedly called out "mother".

Hongmian's mother suppressed her anger and said, "Didn't we agree on this before? Your Sixteenth will follow Miss Seven to the White Crane Academy after the festival and won't be back for two years. If he's not available, does that mean Hongmian will have to wait for him for two years?"

Gu Shiliu's mother said in embarrassment: "We also want to get married soon so that his younger brothers and sisters can also get married. So we told the monk and asked if there was any way to solve it. The monk said that if we hang the engagement letter of the two people on the beam above the stove, and if there is no mistake after three days, the marriage can be successful. Otherwise, I am afraid that the happy event will turn into a bad one."

Hongmian's hand shook, and half a cup of tea came out.

Hongmian's mother said with a sullen face, "We had our horoscopes matched by a blind man named Zhang on the street before, and they matched perfectly. Now..."

Hongmian saw that it was not a big deal, so she said, "Mom, I have something to tell you."

Her mother looked at her with a look of disappointment, and finally said, "You go ahead."

The mother and daughter murmured for a while, but finally agreed.

The relatives of the Gu and Li families all had strange looks on their faces. The two families had already agreed on the betrothal gifts and dowry before, but it suddenly turned out like this. Anyone would have been tempted to make a big fuss. They didn't expect that Hongmian's parents would actually agree to it.

It is obvious that Hongmian has already lowered her status before she even got married.

Gu Shiliu's mother could not hide her contempt on her face. Although Hongmian's mother was angry, she could not do anything about her eldest daughter, so she left the Gu family with Hongmian with a gloomy face.

"My daughter, you've seen it too. Being his eldest sister-in-law is not easy. His mother is partial to the younger one, and now she's going back on her word. As a mother, my reputation has been trampled on by others, and I still have to put on a forced smile. But how long can mother and the Gu family get along? You have to get along with them for the rest of your life. As the old saying goes, men are afraid of choosing the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. You have to believe it."

Hong Mian said firmly, "Mother, I have my own ideas. When I get married and gain a foothold, I will naturally find a way to deal with the people in their family. Gu Shiliu is the most trusted person around the Marquis. He is good-looking and has a very good heart. My daughter will definitely enjoy happiness in the future if she marries him, and she can also lead her brothers and sisters to live a good life."

Hongmian's mother sighed and said, "Your father works in purchasing, and he makes a decent living. In the future, your brother can find a job and get married. What will he worry about? You still have to calculate like this, I really don't understand." But Hongmian was not someone who could be persuaded by a few words, so she could only do as she pleased.

Hongmian said goodbye to her mother and returned to Wutong Garden with a heavy heart. Without her mother telling her, she knew that the three-day appointment was probably an excuse made by the Gu family.

But now the arrow is on the string and has to be shot.

If I had fallen out on the spot, there would have been no chance at all. Now, at least there is still some hope.

After the vacation, Hongmian wanted to go to the main room to serve Qin Yuan, but was stopped by Cuiming.

Cui Ming said, "It's so late now. You've been out all day and you don't have to rush over to serve me."

Hongmiandui said with a smile: "Sister Cuiming is right. I should wash myself first. I am so tired and tired. I don't want to disgrace the master."

Cui Ming ignored her.

Hongmian turned around with a sullen look on her face.

Several little girls who were close to her were originally talking in the corridor, and when they saw her coming over, they pretended to be busy and did not gather around her as usual.

Hongmian was preoccupied with something and didn't take it too seriously. When she came back from her bath, she discovered something was wrong.

The bedding on her couch was actually wet.

"What's going on?" Hongmian put her hands on her hips, stared, and was ready to fight.

Several people in the same room avoided his sight and said they didn't know.

Hong Mian said angrily, "Since you all don't know, it shows that everyone has a share. If I can't sleep, then no one should sleep."

As he said this, he was about to take the copper basin to pour the water.

Several people rushed to stop them, causing chaos.

Cui Ming walked over and said coldly, "What's going on? Hongmian, why is it you again? You left early today, leaving a lot of things unattended, leaving us busy counting in the warehouse all day, and you came back and were restless. If you don't sleep, others will have to sleep."

Hongmian said aggrievedly, "Sister Cuiming is someone who is useful to the Madam, so she should be able to distinguish right from wrong. My bed was splashed with water for no reason. How could I sleep? They were all in the room, but they knew nothing. I am afraid they did it."

The people in the same room hurriedly shook their heads and said, "It's really unfair. We just got off duty not long ago and were talking together. She just came back from outside and asked what happened. We didn't know, and she said that we couldn't sleep and no one should sleep. Hongmian has just been appreciated by the lady, so why is she so unreasonable?"

Cui Ming looked at Hong Mian coldly and said, "You heard it too. I don't know whether you wet the bed accidentally or you offended someone. If you have no place to sleep, you can make a bed with others first."

Hongmian already had a plan in mind.

After thinking for a while, he said, "In that case, I'll just squeeze in with the others. I wonder if it's convenient for Sister Hongye."
