My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.
Chapter 56: Digging a Hole in a Hurry
Chapter 56: Digging a Hole in a Hurry
Qin Yuan looked at Madam Gu Liu and asked, "Does this Bai Que have high regards from mother?"
Madam Gu Liu didn't know what to say.
Even if you say he values her, she is just a second-class maid. If you say he doesn't value her, doesn't that mean he doesn't value Madam Zhao?
But a maid who is valued by the old lady did such a foolish thing. Doesn't this show that the old lady doesn't know how to judge people?
Mrs. Gu Liu, who is known for her tactfulness, was actually stumped by a question. She just frowned and looked like she didn't know where to start.
Qin Yuan added: "Why not tell the Marquis about this and see if he thinks it's a big deal. I really don't know."
The mothers in charge signaled to each other with their eyes.
If Qin Yuan wasn't here at this moment, they would have been unable to help but talk about it.
Hongye said, "I will be back soon."
Qin Yuan nodded.
Hongye left the hall and went to the side room.
Madam Gu Liu said with guilt: "It turns out that I was too talkative. Third brother and his wife didn't know about it."
Who would believe this?
People were standing outside Wutong Garden. Although Bai Que wanted to stand there alone, wasn't there anyone who went in to inform Qin Yuan?
It must be Qin Yuan who blocked the message.
Madam Gu Liu was screaming in her heart as she waited for the Marquis's reply.
She brought so many housekeepers here today, and there were witnesses present. If Hongye dared not report truthfully, Qin Yuan would be even more embarrassed in the future.
Qin Yuan wouldn't be so stupid.
Now, that sharp-tongued girl's face will be swollen.
Unexpectedly, half a cup of tea later, Hongye came back briskly and said, "The Marquis said not to bother with her. Not all the people around the old lady are discerning. Bai Que only grows old but not smart. She can't understand what the master says. It's time to let her go."
Madam Gu Liu: “…”
This, this, this.
The mothers in charge looked at Qin Yuan blankly.
This marquis’ wife is really capable.
A few days ago, Madam Zhao from Fengxuan Pavilion was a distinguished guest in this mansion whom no one dared to offend.
Mrs. Gu Liu also had to be coaxed and respected.
Bai Que was by the old lady's side, and was assigned to Madam Zhao. Her parents had already said that servants in the mansion didn't need to come to propose marriage, and their own daughter had to follow Madam Zhao as her master.
Who could not understand this?
Qin Yuan nodded and said, "We will do whatever the Marquis tells us to do. As for my mother, the Marquis will naturally respond to her."
Madam Gu Liu came back to her senses, laughed dryly and said, "I am indeed meddling in other people's affairs. It turned out that the girl was confused and made Third Brother unhappy."
Qin Yuan shook her head: "No, no."
Madam Gu Liu held the handle of the round fan tightly and asked with a smile, "What does Third Sister-in-law mean?"
"She was confused, but she didn't make the Marquis unhappy. The Marquis didn't even know it was her who came."
Mrs. Gu Liu's face froze.
If she hadn't said so much, Bai Que would still be staying in Fengxuan Pavilion.
unwise.
If Bai Que's parents knew about this, wouldn't they hate her? !
Madam Gu Liu said angrily, "Third sister-in-law, I have things to do, so I won't bother you anymore. I'll just wait for you to give me the final word on the pepper."
Qin Yuan nodded and said gratefully, "You asked my sixth sister-in-law to make such a trip in such hot weather. You really care about my affairs. How can you say it's a bother to me?"
Madam Gu Liu didn't want to sit down any longer, so she stood up and said, "We're leaving now."
Qin Yuan accompanied the person all the way to the gate of Wutong Garden before turning back.
Hongye was trying so hard to hold back her laughter that her stomach ached, and said, "Sixth Madam's face looks really ugly."
Cuiming said, "She has so many thoughts. She brought so many housekeepers here, and they all said that they wanted the young lady to help them make money. If the young lady helps them make money, the favor will still belong to the Sixth Madam. If they lose money, the fault will be the young lady's." Hongye said, "You can't call her young lady anymore. You have to call her Madam, otherwise you won't be able to change your ways in front of the Marquis in the future."
Gu Jinghui's words gave Hongye face and she began to side with Gu Jinghui.
Qin Yuan laughed softly.
Hongye is a straightforward person with a quick tongue, but Lord Gu is quite tolerant.
Hongye added: "Her little tricks can't even be hidden from us, let alone the Madam."
Cui Ming said, "She calculated everything so carefully, but she was distracted at times. I am a little worried. I wonder if there is something wrong with the batch of pepper she mentioned."
Qin Yuan said, "We'll see then. It shouldn't happen. Madam Six wants me to buy pepper quickly to avoid any more trouble."
Mrs. Gu Liu indeed thought so.
She hurriedly ordered her personal maid, "Go and check the quality of the pepper and ask for a base price."
Zhao Ma knew that she was anxious to make Qin Yuan suffer, so she said, "Why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to make some money?"
Madam Gu Liu shook her head.
"Although my third sister-in-law is young, she is very cautious in doing things. Perhaps she was trained by her stepmother in her natal family. If Jiao Jiao did something, she would definitely be able to detect it. If I want to gain her trust, I have to show my sincerity."
Nanny Zhao gave up the idea of taking any action.
Although it’s a bit of a pity, what the master said makes sense.
Madam Gu Liu said, "We must find a way to get her to buy the pepper as soon as possible and make it a done deal."
Nanny Zhao suddenly understood.
"Yes, as long as she buys it, she is doomed to lose."
Madam Gu Liu also found out a lot of information. She had been in charge of the Marquis' Mansion for many years and was well-informed. Of course, she knew that what Manager Leng said was true.
Qin Yuan's business is destined to lose money.
She kept hitting a snag and seeing Fengxuan Pavilion losing its power, she became more and more anxious to set a trap for Qin Yuan.
"It can be seen that this auspicious omen is not accurate for everyone's dreams."
Madam Zhao hurried out to deliver the message. At the second gate, she met a few housekeepers who were talking to Madam Cai. She stopped and asked with a smile, "Does everyone want to give a gift?"
"Yes, yes, let's get together and follow Sixth Madam and Aunt Zhao to share in Third Madam's fortune."
Nanny Zhao chuckled and quickly went out the second door.
The housekeepers said to Cai Mama, "You didn't go to Wutong Garden just now. I don't know if the Marquis is really fed up with it, or if you have good taste."
Mother Cai was distracted.
"there?"
The housekeepers raised their chins and looked towards Fengxuan Pavilion.
Mother Cai realized what was going on and asked, "What's wrong?"
They were much closer to her than before.
In the past two days, because Madam Gu Liu always gave her a cold shoulder, the housekeepers deliberately distanced themselves from her and occasionally said some sour words, saying that she took the opportunity of building a small kitchen to cling to the Marquis's thigh and wanted to make a fortune on her own.
Mother Cai felt embarrassed, but there was nothing she could do. Unexpectedly, these people suddenly changed their expressions, blocked her at the second door, and talked to her enthusiastically.
Since you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you, Mother Cai pretended that she had never been estranged from them.
"I don't know what's going on over at Fengxuan Pavilion. Little Bai Que stood under the sun and wanted to see the Marquis, but he got a heat stroke and didn't even see him."
"More than that. Madam Six mentioned it, and Madam Hou said they didn't know it was Bai Que at all. The Marquis even said Bai Que was brainless and wanted to let her go. If Bai Que hadn't wanted Madam Six to seek justice for her, maybe she would have been fine."
"Oh, now Bai Que's parents are going to be dumbfounded. They were dreaming of a sparrow turning into a phoenix before, and I even thought it was true."
Mother Cai asked curiously, "A sparrow turns into a phoenix? Whose aunt does Bai Que want to be?"
Thanks to Mo Qinqing for the monthly ticket, thank you for your support and love, (づ ̄ 3 ̄)づ
