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

Chapter 578 Comparing Products

As the saying goes, it's not a problem if you don't know the goods, it's a problem if you compare the goods.

Compared to this, Gu Baozhu has to be thrown away.

Madam Gu couldn't help but sigh and said to Aunt Rong beside her, "This little monkey, it's a waste that Yuan'er prepared clothes for her the day before. No matter how much effort she put into dressing up, she still looks like this."

She looked decent enough sitting there, but as soon as she moved, she lost all her ladylike air.

Why can't Gu Baozhu be both talented in literature and martial arts and be beautiful and intelligent?

Before Rong Mama could say anything, Madam Gu continued, "What's going on with the Third Brother? Can he make it to the banquet today? This is his wife's first time going out as a guest, and she doesn't know how to protect her."

Qin Yuan is already beautiful, and after dressing up so carefully, even a heartless person would be moved by her.

I just can't get enough of my daughter-in-law.

Aunt Rong smiled and said, "The Marquis always keeps his word. If he says he will come back, he will definitely come back. Besides, Madam is kind and virtuous, and with you protecting her, nothing will happen to her."

Madam Gu sighed, "This Yu family is really strange..." Seeing Qin Yuan and Gu Baozhu approaching, she stopped and changed the subject, "Let's go, Baozhu. Your sister-in-law has never been to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Don't run around and don't just have fun by yourself. Protect her more."

Gu Baozhu frowned at being muttered to, "Of course. If it weren't for my sister-in-law, I wouldn't even bother coming. Wouldn't it be better for me to stay at home and spend time with my nephews and nieces?"

Mrs. Gu became even more upset after hearing this.

This child has a mouth and can eat well, but why can't he speak well?

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Mom, let's not stand here anymore. Look, there are a few more carriages coming. They look like the carriages with the emblem of the Marquis of Wuding's Mansion. Let's go in quickly."

The women in the Wuding Marquis's mansion were particularly gossipy. Old Madam Gu was impatient to talk nonsense with them, so she nodded immediately and let Qin Yuan support her as she walked inside.

Of course, she really didn't want to hear Gu Baozhu say anything inappropriate.

Although the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has no useful descendants now, it is still the Duke's Mansion after all.

A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

A few people were led into the garden by the welcoming maid, and several women from the You family came up to greet them. After greeting each other, they would glance at Qin Yuan from time to time.

Qin Yuan had long been accustomed to being stared at even when she didn't dress up, let alone today when she had dressed up carefully.

Old Madam Gu thought to herself with a gloomy face that the You family was becoming more and more disrespectful. She didn't know which branch of the family had such insignificant women who were brought in to help. They looked so ungraceful.

Fortunately, after passing through several flower doors, Miss You and the first and second ladies came to greet the guests. Madam Gu's expression softened a lot, and after a few greetings, she went to the inner hall.

Miss You pulled Gu Baozhu along and walked slowly for a few steps, then fell behind her. She asked in a low voice, "Why are you dressed so elegantly today?"

A pair of eyes swept over Qin Yuan in front of him, and he whispered, "Your third sister-in-law is so dazzling in her outfit. The beads on her head are of great quality. They must have been given to her by your third brother."

What good things could the daughter of a poor chief priest have? Such a nice headdress must have been given by her husband's family. She put on the best one when she came to the Duke's Mansion for the first time.

That said, the daughter of the chief priest was indeed quite alluring. No wonder she attracted attention.

Gu Baozhu said helplessly, "It's my mother. She said I'm old and can't be like before. She wants to restrain me and make me a lady like my third sister-in-law."

This was the excuse they had agreed upon at home. They told others that she was old and needed to be controlled and not allowed to play outside. After a while, they said she went to stay at Madam Gu's parents' home.

"Pfft," Miss You laughed out loud. "Are you stupid? Your third sister-in-law married the Marquis of Dingbei, and everything she wore was fine stuff. It shows that marrying well is the most important thing for a woman. We daughters of noble families are born a little more noble than others, so why should we imitate scholars and act like ladies of noble families? You have the support of the Marquis of Dingbei behind you. With such a powerful backer, and marrying an extremely noble man, who would dare to give you a hard time? You can live a comfortable life."

Gu Baozhu was stunned and looked at Miss You with a puzzled expression.

She had been scolded by her third and sixth brothers before, and she secretly hoped that Youda was wronged. Now there is nothing she doesn't understand.

Isn’t the extremely noble man that You Da mentioned the prince?

The third and sixth brothers were not wrong in accusing You Da. He was just a scheming, short-sighted, and pimp.

Gu Baozhu said, "You don't know, my mother wanted to change her social status and begged my third sister-in-law to marry her. The Jijiu family is a noble family, and they have their own way of dressing, eating, living, and traveling. My mother asked me to learn from her so that I wouldn't be laughed at and called a barbarian in the future. Also, my third sister-in-law is good at making perfumes, and she has taken care of my mother's health. She loves her so much that she gave her many of her best things. Not to mention that my third brother is also a doting parent. My third sister-in-law wears much better clothes and things than this. Today is the first time I'm accompanying my mother on a visit, so I dare not be too ostentatious."

These words made Miss You jealous.

The Zhenguo family used to have plenty of money and food, and they lived a grand life, but they also had many unfilial children and grandchildren.

From generation to generation, no matter how wealthy a family is, it cannot withstand decline.

Although she is the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, she can only save face. What good is there in it? The sisters from several other rooms are all trying to fight for her.

She had originally intended to tease Gu Baozhu into saying something sour, but she hadn't expected to hear this. Miss You said sourly, "Who made your third sister-in-law so lucky? She's so pretty and a good person. No one in your family doesn't like her. She's much more capable than my sisters-in-law."

Gu Baozhu seemed to not understand what was being said and smiled, "My third sister-in-law is so lucky. My mother, third brother, sixth brother and I are all willing to treat her well. Besides her good looks, she has many other advantages."

Miss You couldn't help but sneered: "It's not the time you said before that your third brother brought back a concubine's child from the northern frontier. If it weren't for this, there would be so many noble ladies in the capital and it wouldn't be your third sister-in-law's turn."

Gu Baozhu quickly covered Miss You's mouth: "How dare you say this? This is all a rumor. That person is not my third brother's concubine, but the wife and child of my third brother's savior. This matter is unlucky to talk about. That woman is too scheming. She deceived our whole family..."

The two of them were talking lively. There were many people attending the banquet today, and everyone in front and behind walked slowly, listening attentively.

Miss You exclaimed in surprise, "How could such a thing happen? How dare that Lady Zhao do such a thing?"

The audience thought to themselves, "This Dingbei Marquis has gotten himself into such a romantic affair!"

Seeing Gu Baozhu looking around in shock, everyone hurriedly pretended to appreciate the flowers and the scenery, but in fact they didn't dare to say a single word.

Gu Baozhu said, "She's so brave! My mother and third brother really liked the twins, but now they're afraid of her, so they had no choice but to find a foster father for them from within the same clan..."

Miss You smiled meaningfully and said slowly, "If you had said that before, I wouldn't have believed that your third brother was ruthless towards the Zhao mother and son. But now... I do believe it."

Everyone held their breath, waiting to hear what Gu Baozhu would say.
