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

Chapter 552 I Know You Can't Leave Me

Everyone in the room had an expression of disbelief on their faces.

Although Cuiming knew that Hongmian was testing her on purpose, she still couldn't help but sneer, "Why did you go looking for Hongye? Hongye was tired all day because of you and just took medicine and rested. Besides, I'm not used to living with others. I'm sure the people in your room don't want to share a bed with you. You should find someone else."

Hongmian concealed her uneasiness and forced a smile, saying, "That's the only way."

Cui Ming rolled her eyes at her and walked away leisurely.

Hongmian quietly picked up her clothes and went to another room to find an empty bed to sleep on. Fortunately, it was not too cold at night and it would pass after a while.

Cui Ming returned to the inner room and could not help but complain to Qin Yuan: "I really admire her. She did something wrong to others, but she can act as if nothing happened and even sleep in the same bed with others. She is really capable. To call her an ungrateful person is an understatement."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "There are all kinds of people in this world. After all, Hongye has given her feelings to the wrong person. But it is better to realize it earlier than later. Wouldn't it be even more sad to find out later?"

Cui Ming asked: "Will Miss still use her in the future?"

"She is such a smart and capable person, why not use her? But it is not appropriate for her to stay in Wutong Garden. It would be better to assign her to work somewhere else. Where should she go?" Qin Yuan looked at Cui Ming with a smile.

Cui Ming thought for a moment and said, "Why not let her go to the sewing room? Madam Li and Madam Lu often fight each other, and they need someone like her to stir things up, so that I can save some energy."

Qin Yuan smiled and agreed.

Cui Ming doesn't usually show up and doesn't talk much, but she is much more decisive than Hongye in handling things.

It would be good for Hongmian to learn a lesson after going there.

But considering Hongmian's personality, I'm afraid she won't be able to stay for long before causing trouble.

Qin Yuan sighed.

Cuiming knew what she was thinking, so she comforted her, "Miss, don't worry about no one using you. Now that we have established ourselves in the mansion, the housekeepers and housemaids dare not disobey us. There are also many good maids in the garden, but they are not as outstanding as Hongmian. But we will be fine if we teach them slowly."

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "I'm not worried about tiring you two. At first, I just wanted to train more capable people to avoid chaos in Wutong Garden and make people live in misery."

I didn't expect that with so many things happening in the mansion, the power of the housekeeper fell into his hands so easily.

Cui Ming smiled and said, "This really proves the saying, what's yours is yours."

Qin Yuan smacked his lips and said, "You might as well say that everything is predetermined by heaven and has no power over us. I wonder what others would think of me if they heard this. I guess most people would think that I have suddenly become rich and frivolous."

Cui Ming said, "I'm not trying to flatter the young lady. The young lady has only been in the mansion for a short time, and everyone admires her very much. Even the ladies in the clan all say good things about her when they mention her."

The implication is that the late Sixth Lady herself was inferior to others and could not blame others.

As for the others, there is no need to bother with them.

Qin Yuan said, "When people are in high positions, who would be ignorant to gossip? The more they praise us, the more we must not make any mistakes. As the old saying goes, it is difficult to please everyone. We think we have done a good job, but those who have been offended are resentful. If they don't say anything now, they will only vent when they have the chance. Now everyone is praising me, and it is also because the old lady and the marquis love me. We are in power now, so naturally no one will say anything tactless to our faces. But we must be careful, lest we get carried away and make mistakes. Then we will know what it means to be a phoenix in water and no better than a chicken." Cui Ming was stunned and sighed, "Miss, you are not sixteen years old, you look sixty."

Qin Yuan was also stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Okay, let's go to sleep. Let's not worry about others here. Even Hongye and Hongmian are asleep."

Cui Ming also laughed. After serving the young lady to sleep, she sat outside the door, thinking about her own things.

Lord Gu returned to the mansion under the starlight. Seeing the lights in the main room dim, he knew that Qin Yuan had gone to bed. There was a small, frail figure sitting in the dark in the corridor, who seemed to be his wife's personal maid. He asked, "Are you keeping watch tonight?"

Cui Ming finally came to her senses. Seeing that it was the Marquis, she hurriedly stood up and saluted: "The Marquis is back. Madam has already gone to bed. It was supposed to be Hongye's turn tonight. She cried so hard, so Madam gave her some medicine, lit some incense, and let her sleep. I will take her place on duty."

Lord Gu frowned and said, "Why is Hongye still crying? Isn't the matter over?"

It was rare to see the Marquis care about their affairs, Cui Ming was flattered, and hurriedly explained: "Hongye cried because she trusted the wrong person and caused such a thing, and she felt that she had suffered a lot of injustice."

This grievance obviously came from Gu Shiliu.

Lord Gu sighed, "You women are such a nuisance. You are not as sensible and generous as Madam. I'm afraid Gu Shiliu doesn't even know about this matter right now."

Cui Ming was surprised and asked, "Does Gu Shiliu still not know about this?"

Lord Gu nodded: "If it were possible, why would Gu Shiliu let this matter come to Hongye? If he couldn't even do this, how could I have brought him and Hongye together in the first place? If you are upset that you trusted the wrong person, you should be more careful next time. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes."

Cui Ming lowered her head quickly and said, "I understand."

Lord Gu waved his hand and said, "I'm back now. You don't have to stay here any longer. Go back and rest. When Hongye wakes up, tell her everything. Madam values ​​you two and has taken a lot of care of Hongye. Even for Madam's sake, you shouldn't let her worry like this."

Cui Ming hurriedly responded and stepped back.

After returning to the house, he looked at Hongye who was sleeping soundly and sighed, "It's true that fools have good fortune. The master is so worried about you, so you should be more careful."

Thinking about Lord Gu's intentions towards Qin Yuan, he smiled and said, "Miss is so lucky. Who could have expected that such a good marriage would be sent by the always competitive Second Miss? It also brought us good luck. It shows that man proposes, God disposes. God has his own arrangements. You should relax your mind and accumulate more blessings in the future."

When she thought of this, Cui Ming felt her body and mind lighten. She became sleepy and fell into a hazy sleep.

From that day on, the worrying Cui Ming changed her character and gradually became more open-minded. With Qin Yuan's help, she actually lived more than 30 years longer than her previous life.

When Qin Yuan woke up in the morning, she saw Lord Gu lying beside her with his eyes closed. She couldn't help but chuckle.

"why are you laughing?"

Lord Gu heard the noise, opened his eyes, looked over, and his originally calm face became sharp.

Qin Yuan muttered, "Seeing my husband by my side, I couldn't help but smile. These past few days..."

Before he finished speaking, Lord Gu became proud, his eyes full of affection, and he whispered in my ear with a chuckle, "My dear Yuan'er, I knew you couldn't leave me."
