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

Chapter 567: Quarrel between In-laws and Parents
Gu Shiliu's father's expression changed slightly.

Gu Shiliu's mother smiled and said, "I've wanted to come and pay my respects for a long time, but Shiliu is always busy, so we never got together, so it's been delayed until now. We used to work on the farm and haven't seen much of the world. Ever since Shiliu caught the Marquis's eye, our whole family has benefited from it. Shiliu should do as much as he can for the Marquis. If there's anything that's bothering me, it just so happens that there is one, and it's really worrying."

Huiming ordered the maid to come and pour tea.

The two men hurriedly bowed, held the tea in their hands, and looked at Huiming quietly.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "What's the matter? Feel free to tell me."

Gu Shiliu's mother said, "It's about this child's marriage. Shiliu followed the Marquis to the northern frontier before, and we didn't know if he would be able to come back, so we didn't arrange a marriage for him, thinking that we wouldn't delay the girl. Now he's quite old, and if he can't settle down, it will be difficult for his younger brothers and sisters to get married. A while ago, he fell in love with the girl from the old Li family. I heard that she works for the lady, is smart, and they are both family children. Everyone said they were a good match. But who knew that he took the engagement letter and hung it on the beam above the stove for three days. During these three days, there was no peace in the house. The pots broke, the bowls shattered, and the children in the family fell and hurt their mouths when they walked on flat ground. It seems that this marriage will not be successful, which is really worrying."

Hui Ming couldn't help but pursed his lips and chuckled.

Qin Yuan also laughed.

It's hard for them to come up with this excuse.

She acted as if suddenly realizing something. "So that's why. It's like a sleepy boy finally finding his pillow. Perfect. The Marquis values ​​Sixteen and is concerned about his lifelong prospects. He recently picked out someone he'd met before. She's got a good temper and can get along well with Sixteen. She's also my maid and has good character. Sixteen herself agreed, but she's worried about not having enough money to marry. She even told the Marquis that she'll get married after she's finished her work and gets enough money to buy a wife. It's fair to say these two are destined to be together."

After hearing what Qin Yuan said, the two men breathed a sigh of relief, their faces beaming with joy. They both said, "If the Marquis and his wife are pleased, then of course it's good. This child is truly blessed to have caught the Marquis and his wife's eye. This is a blessing others can't even dream of."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Sixteen is smart and capable, and is the most favored person by the Marquis' side. This girl and I grew up together, and our relationship is deeper than others. I originally wanted to let her go and marry her off to a man from a small family as his wife, but who would have thought that she would fall in love with Sixteen. This is a match made in heaven."

Gu Shiliu's father immediately said, "That's right. I told you long ago not to rush into matchmaking for Shiliu. His mother was so anxious, afraid that all the good ones had been picked. It would be a shame if we didn't rush into it. So it turns out that our eldest son's matchmaking partner is here."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Exactly. Originally, Sixteen should have told you about this. I just saw that you were anxious, so I told you first. But even though this matter has been settled, the marriage still has to be decided by the parents. Besides, if you are engaged, she will be the wife, and if you are engaged, she will be the concubine. I think it would be better to wait until Sixteen finishes his work, and then you can discuss it in detail and then hire a matchmaker to arrange the marriage."

"That's natural, that's natural," they said in unison.

I wanted to take a look at the person, but now I don’t dare to mention it.

Qin Yuan originally had no intention of calling Hongye out for them to see, and leaving Huiming to serve on the side was also to set an example for them.

The two of them sat for a while and then tactfully excused themselves.

After leaving Wutong Garden, Gu Shiliu's father said, "The lady is like a fairy, and the maids around her are also good-looking. If Shiliu marries someone like this, it would be a perfect match that you can't find even with a lantern. Don't think about how to control her anymore, and how to use the eldest son's family to support the second son."

"I'm not a fool. Sixteen also came out of my belly. Am I a stepmother?"

Gu Shiliu's mother was unhappy.

After a while, his anger subsided, and he beamed with joy again, saying, "Even Madam is willing to send that girl out to marry into a good family. This shows how deep her affection is. She won't be like Rong Momo in the future. If our Sixteenth marries her, she'll become the most favored person by the Marquis's wife's side. She'll have influence in both the inner and outer courtyards. Will her younger siblings have any worries about their future? They say a hero needs three helpers, and a fence needs three posts. Even in war, you need your own brothers." Gu Sixteen's father snorted and remained silent.

"It's a pity that we've offended the Li family. The second son will also be implicated." Gu Shiliu's mother sighed again.

"This is not your fault!"

"Is everything caused by me? Why didn't you say anything at the time? If I'm wrong, it's mine, and if I'm right, it's yours?"

"Why didn't I tell you then? I told you that the eldest son's marriage should be decided by his eldest son. But did you listen? You said that you are the mother and the son should obey her. Otherwise, how could these things happen? You almost ruined our son's future and almost made him alienated from us. Over the years, whenever we didn't get your way, you cried and made a fuss. The whole family couldn't live in peace. What can I do to live a peaceful life?"

Gu Shiliu's father was filled with resentment.

Gu Shiliu's mother held it in for a while, but she couldn't hold it in any longer. She put her hands on her hips and shouted angrily, "Are you taking this opportunity to make trouble? Fine! I'll leave Shiliu's marriage to you. From now on, I won't get involved at all. Don't ask me to do this and that all the time. If you have the ability, just take care of it yourself."

……

Hongye was waiting anxiously in the room when she saw Huiming running in with a smile, saying, "I finally met Gu Shiliu's parents."

"Has everyone left?" Hongye asked in surprise.

My heart was finally at ease, but I also felt a little lost and confused.

"Of course. I think they wanted to see you, but the young lady said that she had a deep affection for you and was originally planning to let you go as her official wife. They didn't dare to act rashly. In the end, they decided to wait for Sixteen to come back to discuss it, and found a matchmaker."

Hongye breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It still has to be Miss."

Huiming said, "Sixteenth Son takes after his father, tall and handsome, with well-proportioned eyebrows, eyes, and nose. But his face takes after his mother, which is a bit square. His mother must be the one who makes the decisions in his family, she's quite powerful."

Hongye nodded and said, "Sixteen also said that his mother's words are trustworthy. I wonder how they got back to Hongmian?"

Huiming then learned it again.

Hongye finally felt relieved and said, "It wasn't too bad after all."

Hongmian also got the news.

Her mother followed the food delivery cart into the mansion and said that after three days, Gu Shiliu's family reported that there were mice in the kitchen again, breaking bowls and pots, and even the children were affected. She was afraid that the wandering monk's words would come true and this marriage would not be possible.

The engagement letter was returned, but Gu Shiliu's family was considerate and only said to others that the age difference between the two children was a bit large, and they didn't know if it was a conflict of six or eight, so it would be better not to get married to avoid becoming a resentful couple in the future.
