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

Chapter 572 Use your brain

Qin Yuan hurriedly said, "Tell him to come in and answer."

Gu Baozhu, stroking her belly, quickly picked up her chopsticks and pretended to pick up some food. She listened attentively to the servant's respectful reply through the curtain: "Madam, the Marquis has replied, saying that it is inconvenient for him to be away from home, and that all the affairs of the mansion have been entrusted to you. Madam, just do what is appropriate for you and don't worry."

Qin Yuan took a long while before saying, "Is that all?"

The servant hesitated for a moment and said, "That's all... Usually, the Marquis only replied with a few words."

Qin Yuan also thought about it and realized that it would be inconvenient to contact him outside, and Lord Gu was not a busy person.

But what’s the difference between this and before?!
He took a deep breath and ordered, "Go down and rest."

"Yes," the servant quickly retreated.

Seeing her frown, Gu Baozhu put down her chopsticks, cleared her throat, and asked, "Sister-in-law, since Third Brother said that you are the one who makes the decisions on all matters inside and outside the mansion, what do you think?"

Qin Yuan said slowly, "Mid-Autumn Festival is almost here, and the Marquis is away. These things can't be put off any longer. Mr. Songshan and your sixth brother are going to have a meeting tomorrow, so why don't you come along?"

"Discuss matters? Discuss matters, okay?" Gu Baozhu immediately said with a smile, "Then it's a deal. Third sister-in-law, you've found the right person. You have good taste, even better than my third brother."

She did something big today, but she could only tell Qin Heng and Qin Yuan about it, which was not satisfying at all.

Tomorrow I will tell Mr. Songshan and her sixth brother about it, so that they can know how powerful I am.

Besides, she had long wanted to discuss matters with the adults.

Sixth brother is weak and can participate, so why can't she?

The third brother always complains that she is unstable, but the third sister-in-law understands her.

Qin Yuan chuckled, "Look at you, you're so happy you're scratching your ears and cheeks. If Mr. Songshan sees you, he'll say you're not steady. But now you're a man of both wisdom and courage who can accomplish great things."

"That's right." Gu Baozhu patted her chest and said shamelessly, "Now I understand the profound meaning of not judging a person by appearance, and not measuring the depth of the ocean by a bucket. If Mr. Songshan judges people by appearance, he will lose me, this pearl."

Qin Yuan: “…”

Good guy, he just climbed up after being given a pole.

No stumbling at all.

Qin Yuan said with both anger and amusement, "Go back and change your clothes. I won't keep you, my precious pearl, here, lest people think you're being thrown away. I haven't settled a lot of things yet, so I won't chat with you anymore. After you change your clothes, go talk to me. I can't bear to see you go to Baihe Academy. Besides, your nephews and nieces won't want to leave you, their good aunt."

Gu Baozhu sighed in distress.

"Being too popular has its downsides. When I say I'm going on a long journey, everyone is reluctant to let me go. However, one should have a long-term perspective. When love lasts, it doesn't matter if you're always together."

Qin Yuan: “…”

Hongye came in to clear the dishes and couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "Seventh Miss has also started to show off her literary talent. Although I don't quite understand what I'm saying, I still think it's impressive."

Gu Baozhu stood up and stretched, saying, "You are such a lovely girl. No wonder Third Sister-in-law values ​​you so much. It's also because you grew up by her side and were trained by her. Naturally, you are different from other girls."

Hongye smiled and said, "Seventh Miss, you love me so much that I love my dog. I am not as good as you say. I just followed Madam and learned a few superficial things."

"You're already so powerful after just a few superficial skills. If you could continue to master them for more than ten or twenty years, it would be truly incredible," Gu Baozhu sighed. "It would be so wonderful if I could have you by my side. Third brother couldn't bear to leave me, so he sent Sixteen to the White Crane Academy. It would be so great if you could go with him."

As she spoke, she looked at Qin Yuan. Hongye blushed, her head almost buried in her chest.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "If you stop while you're ahead and keep saying this every day, if the Marquis regrets it one day and finds that he can't leave Sixteen, and then asks you to come back, it will be too late to regret it."

Gu Baozhu quickly covered her mouth with both hands and ran away.

This made the maids laugh non-stop.

On the second day, after Qin Yuan finished his daily affairs, he sent someone to invite Mr. Songshan and Mr. Gu Liu to discuss matters. At this time, the two were busy searching for information with Gu Shiba.

Gu Shiba got the news and hurriedly urged: "Madam, please come over to discuss the matter."

Seeing that the two turned a deaf ear, he continued, "I wonder what message the Marquis sent to Madam yesterday."

Mr. Songshan finally looked up from the pile of papers and said, "Just go, don't rush me. No matter what you bring, the work is piled up here and needs to be done."

Gu Shiba said, "Then let's go over there quickly and see what Madam has to say. Let's finish it sooner so we can come back and do our work sooner."

When the three of them arrived at the outer hall, they saw Gu Baozhu already seated, leisurely drinking tea.

Gu Shiba opened his eyes wide: "Why is Miss Seventh here?"

Gu Liuye was more direct: "Baozhu, we have something important to discuss. Go play somewhere else first."

Mr. Songshan frowned and asked, "Miss Seven, do you have anything to say to the Marquis' wife?"

Gu Baozhu shook her feet proudly, put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "Mr. Songshan, Sixth Brother, Eighteenth, I was invited by Third Sister-in-law."

Gu Eighteen: “…”

Gu Liuye looked at Gu Baozhu suspiciously and asked, "But what trouble have you gotten yourself into again?"

Gu Baozhu is now a person who has done great things. She endured it for a moment before saying, "I did do something great, but I'm afraid it will shock you if I tell you about it."

Mr. Gu Liu looked at her suspiciously.

Qin Yuan walked in and said with a smile, "That's right. Seventh sister did something big yesterday and even got some information out. It scared me. She's really brave and careful."

Mr. Songshan raised his eyebrows, stretched his neck, and said, "Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."

Gu Baozhu chuckled and said, "It's nothing serious. It's all thanks to the teacher and Third Brother's good teachings... Plus, I also used my brain."

At this time, she naturally had to be modest and let her third sister-in-law tell the story.

Qin Yuan couldn't help laughing, and without keeping the secret any longer, he briefly recounted what Gu Baozhu had done. When he mentioned the less exciting parts, Gu Baozhu couldn't help but talk about them.

After listening to this, Mr. Matsuyama stroked his beard and pondered.

Gu Liuye laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Xu Tang was just a traitor. He had such a great reputation outside, but after Seventh Sister's fuss, he was exposed. Now, he failed to harm others and ended up hurting himself. Will this leg be out of action for several months?"

Mr. Matsuyama looked at him and said nothing.

Gu Baozhu couldn't help but cry out, "Oh, my Sixth Brother, I've said so much, and you only care about this? Do you know that the Xu family wanted to use the Sixth Sister-in-law and Xu Zhen's affairs to prove their loyalty to the Prince of Jin, and the Prince of Jin wanted to use this to curry favor with the Crown Prince. Now that that hasn't worked out, they're planning to use the Third Sister-in-law's brother-in-law to harm Mr. Qin."
