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

Chapter 566

Dai was a smart person. She said, "You're right. My master and I are both old now. The sooner we get pregnant, the better. They have Nanny and Master to look after them, so I feel much more at ease."

When he returned to his own house, he thought about these words over and over again, and finally figured out their meaning. He then asked his old servant to go to the military headquarters to find his master and come back to talk to him.

Gu Jingcheng found some time to come back and asked his wife, "What's the big deal? Can't you tell me after I get off duty?"

Dai ordered the doors and windows to be tightly closed, and sent the maids and servants out to guard the place. Then she said, "I'll be asleep when you're done watching. I've only been able to see you a few times this month. I have something to ask you. What does it mean?"

He then told Qin Yuan what he had said.

Gu Jingcheng said, "From what Madam said, it seems that the recent unrest is related to the two children. If that's the case, why hasn't the Marquis said anything?"

Dai said, "I've seen Madam's attitude towards these two children... Didn't the Marquis also want to use them to lure out Zhao?"

Gu Jingcheng sighed.

It’s better to have a child of your own.

Counting the days, although I took the medicine intermittently, Dai had been taking the medicine on time for some time.

Since there was no one around, Gu Jingcheng said, "He's back now, so there's no need to rush. I haven't been around you for a while, and I'm getting irritated."

As he said this, he was about to hug Dai and be affectionate with her.

Dai pushed him twice and spat, "You old man, you have no shame in doing this in broad daylight."

Gu Jingcheng coaxed her with a shameless face, "You chased everyone out and locked the doors and windows. I'm afraid everyone will think you called me back just for this. If that's the case, why bother with the reputation?"

The two of them had a shameless quarrel. Afterwards, Gu Jingcheng held his old wife and did not get up. After a long pause, he said, "If we can have a boy this time, we will have hope for the rest of our lives. We don't have to worry about the matter of adopting a son. We are just helping the Marquis's Mansion to raise him. We rely on the Marquis's Mansion, and if anything happens, they will help. We are afraid that these two children will cause trouble and we won't be able to avoid it if it happens suddenly. You must be careful and take care of yourself at home."

Dai suddenly realized, "You're right. I'm afraid Madam also means the same thing, but there's no sign of her. She's afraid that if she tells me, I'll reveal my identity and alert her. So..."

She glanced at Gu Jingcheng and didn't need to say anything else.

We need to arrange more people to be on guard in the future.

……

Wutong Court.

After returning from the upper room, Qin Yuan took paper and pen and bent over the desk to write and draw. Huiming and Hongye knew that she wanted some quiet time, so they ground the ink, added some tea, and then left to keep watch in the corridor.

Since the arrangements at the mansion for the Mid-Autumn Festival remained unchanged, many matters had been given instructions in advance, and they were now busy as before.

Hongye whispered to Huiming, "What were the Marquis and Sixth Master doing at the ancestral hall so late last night?"

Huiming thought for a moment and asked, "When were you at the Jijiu Mansion? When did you and your wife go to the ancestral hall?"

Hongye said, "During festivals, or when there are important events that need to be reported to the ancestors."

After a pause, he smiled and said, "Young Master Heng has been there many times."

Qin Heng was indeed forced to kneel in the ancestral hall quite a few times by Qin Jijiu as punishment.

Huiming said, "Perhaps the Marquis and Sixth Master are reporting something important to the ancestors? The Marquis hasn't been home much lately, and has been in a hurry."

After hearing this, Hongye sighed.

Cui Ming's eyes darted around, and she immediately understood. He was thinking about Gu Shiliu again, but he was too embarrassed to bring it up. "I haven't seen Shiliu these past few days. I'm afraid he's been running around doing errands for the Marquis. If he has any free time, he should definitely come to Wutong Courtyard. Don't you think so?"

Hongye said shyly, "Isn't it..."

As they were talking, a maid came over and replied, "Gu Shiliu's parents are at the door, saying they want to pay their respects to the master. The Marquis is not here, and the Sixth Master doesn't care about these things. What should we do? Miss Hongye, please go in and tell the lady if she wants to see you."

Hongye was stunned when she heard this.

Hui Ming couldn't help but burst out laughing and said, "Alright, leave this to me. Just stand there for a moment while I go in and tell my wife."

Hongye's face turned red and she was a little at a loss.

Huiming took two steps inside, then turned back and looked at Hongye and smiled: "Would you like to stand here and greet me, or come with me to greet the madam?"

The old woman had no idea what they were arguing about and said with a smile, "If Madam wanted to see him, I would have told them to come in directly. Why would we bother Miss Hongye to greet her?"

Hongye's face turned even redder.

Huiming laughed even harder.

Hongye thought about it and decided that even though she would be laughed at if she went in, it was still better than standing outside like a fool. So she stamped her feet and said, "If you have the guts, don't let me get the chance to laugh at you."

Hui Ming didn't care: "Just wait and see."

The two of them entered the inner room, teasing each other. Just as they stopped talking, Hui Ming asked, "Gu Shiliu's parents have come to pay their respects to the masters. Since the Marquis is not here, they have come to Wutong Garden. Miss, do you want to see them?"

Qin Yuan put down the brush in her hand, smiled and looked at Hongye who was standing behind Huiming, and asked: "In your opinion, should we see each other or not?"

Hongye said angrily, "You guys just keep making fun of me. I don't know what to do now."

Qin Yuan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Oh? Aren't you the one with the most ideas in the past?"

Hongye said, "I don't know what this means right now. If we meet like this, I'm afraid Gu Shiliu won't even mention me when he gets home. And if we don't meet, what will happen if he brings up a case later?"

What was originally a good thing was made so difficult by Hongmian's interference.

Hongye felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and her eyes turned red.

Seeing this, Qin Yuan stopped teasing her and said seriously, "Since you don't know what to do, then I will make the decision for you. The couple came to pay their respects, probably to report Sixteen's marriage, and also to see the person."

Hongye blushed and said, "Should I stay here? Or should I avoid it?"

Qin Yuan said, "Why don't you go back and change your clothes first, and then come in if I call you."

Hongye now felt more confident and immediately said, "Then I'll go down."

Qin Yuan nodded, and Hui Ming went out to tell the old woman to invite the person in.

Not long after, Gu Shiliu's parents arrived.

Seeing that the two men were dressed neatly and behaved politely, and were not the kind of people who were not presentable, Qin Yuan felt somewhat satisfied. After they paid their respects, he ordered the maid to bring a small stool and asked them to sit down.

The couple declined for a while and then sat sideways.

Qin Yuan said, "It's so thoughtful of you to think of me. Sixteen has been sent out by the Marquis these days to do some work, and I haven't seen him much. He must be exhausted. It's because the Marquis values ​​him so much. Even the Marquis himself is so busy that he doesn't come home for a few days. If you have any problems at home, or any difficulties, just tell me."
