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

Chapter 580 I can't understand his expression

The word "can't be separated" shows that this maid is really smart.

Cuiming and Hongye also looked at her curiously. They saw that she was in her twenties, with neat features, slightly high cheekbones, a round face, fair skin, and eyes that narrowed slightly when she smiled. Her clothes looked about 70% new, and the style and pattern were a bit old-fashioned. They were not eye-catching but could not be ignored either.

Hongye guessed that Rong Mama looked like this when she was young.

Cui Ming thought to herself that this person had sworn an oath in front of the master, so the descendants of other families naturally could not come and get involved with her. They could only use nice words to curry favor with the old lady. The little maids they met along the way were also very respectful of her. It was obvious that she was a very scheming person and was trusted by Old Lady You. She just didn't know why she arranged such a path for herself.

The head maid respectfully invited the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Gu family into the inner room. Several young wives supported Old Madam You and came out to greet them. After the greetings, they sat down as host and guest.

Madam You laughed and said, "As soon as I heard you were here, I asked Ruhua to invite you to come and talk. You've been holed up in the Marquis' Mansion for so many years, and you've refused to come out no matter how much I invited you. Now that you've got a good wife, are you showing off?"

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Yuan carefully, "Your wife is really pretty. There is no one in our house who can compare to her."

Qin Yuan just shyly didn't look up, letting everyone look at her and praise her.

Madam You, who was standing nearby, laughed and said, "Old Ancestor, have you set your sights on the wife of Marquis Dingbei? It's a pity it's too late. It's your fault that you took a nap and your good daughter-in-law has already gone to someone else's house."

Everyone laughed.

Madam Gu smiled and said, "I'm not exaggerating. I did marry a good daughter-in-law. She's both beautiful and virtuous. But you're being too modest. Among the Duke's family, Zhong Lingmin is very smart and beautiful. Which of their daughters-in-law and granddaughters aren't excellent? I only have this one who's up to par, and you're still thinking about her. But it's all in vain."

"Good boy, come closer and let me see you." Old Madam You was about to give a greeting gift. "Last time, I was caught in the wind and just wanted to lie sideways, so I couldn't see you."

Qin Yuan walked forward, and Old Madam You held her hand and looked her over carefully. She said a lot of nice things before letting her go. She also had someone present a gift for the meeting, and then began to praise her again.

"Your wife's character is a perfect match for the Third Brother. One is a scholar, the other a warrior. They are both talented and beautiful. You will enjoy a happy life in the future."

Madam Gu laughed heartily and said, "Old sister, you don't know, but I'm enjoying my life now. The third son is a simple man with good fortune. He has been fighting in the war and has not married. I originally thought that I would find a daughter from a certain family, but who knew that marriage is destined by heaven. My daughter-in-law is very capable. Now she is in charge of all the affairs in the mansion, and I don't have to worry about anything."

As for the deceased Madam Gu Liu, no one would be so tactless as to mention her at this time.

After hearing this, the ladies of the You family were all envious.

For the power of household finances, the several families in the Duke's Mansion quarreled endlessly, both openly and secretly, and their brains were almost blown out. They were all around forty years old, and for the sake of future benefits, they brought their wives and children to serve diligently every day, but they were not as free as the new daughter-in-law of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

Madam You certainly knew the impact these words would have on her daughters-in-law. She frowned and sighed, "A big tree has many branches. If a family has many children and grandchildren and they don't divide the family, it won't be as comfortable as my sister. I have to endure this old bone of mine to help them, after all, there are so many of them."

The Marquis of Dingbei's mansion is practically wiped out before they're this relaxed. The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion has many descendants; she even has great-grandchildren in school, about the same age as the Marquis of Dingbei's grandson. I heard that Old Madam Gu's legitimate son can't even have children yet, so what's there to be proud of?

Madam Gu's face froze for a moment, and she forced a smile, "That's right. Good things don't come in pairs in this world. With so many children and grandchildren, I have to worry more."

Madam You also said, "Your wife has a deep and broad philtrum and looks like she'll be fertile. Your sixth son is going to marry again, so you'll be busy in the future. If Gu Sanlang hadn't gone to the northern frontier, you would have had many children long ago. Now that he's back and is being valued by the emperor, I think your blessings are still to come."

There was a hint of mockery in the eyes of the ladies of the You family.

Marquis Dingbei was injured in the northern frontier and could not have children, so he married the daughter of the Qingliu family. Isn't it because he relies on his power and influence that others can't afford to offend him?

Giving him the power to manage household expenses is just a way to please people.

What's there to be jealous of?

In the future, the huge Dingbei Marquis Mansion will probably be handed over to the son of the playboy Gu Laoliu for inheritance, and its decline is inevitable.

Qin Yuan sensed a hint of disdain and malice, but pretended not to know.

Why should she take these people seriously? It is others who are the troublesome ones, and she will not clear Lord Gu's name. Not only that, she also wants to make good use of them. It would be best if everyone believed her and sympathized with her.

Madam Gu smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words. The third son was devoted to serving his country and swore not to marry until he defeated the Yelu clan. I thought I would never see him get married in this lifetime, but I didn't expect him to come back and marry such a good daughter-in-law. I'm not exaggerating, they are both very handsome, and their children will be a perfect match."

The You family members with ordinary looks: I hate shallow people who use appearance as an excuse the most. You must know that the most important thing about a person is inner beauty. When beauty fades, love fades. How can you serve someone long-term by relying on your looks?
Madam Gu, like Gu Baozhu, was unable to read other people's expressions and said enthusiastically, "What are we doing now that we are old? It's all for our children and grandchildren. As long as they are willing to make progress, it doesn't matter if we, old bones, work a little harder.

The Duke of Zhenguo's family is wealthy and powerful, so how could they understand my sorrow? Before, the third son stayed in the northern frontier and never came back, and the sixth son was always hanging out with a bunch of scholars. It made me worried. Later, he started studying with a cousin from the family, writing poetry and painting, and finally gained some fame, even having his name listed with the emperor.

I never thought I would see Lao Liu become successful in this life. The other day he told me to study hard and write poetry well, and I even thought I was dreaming, hahahaha..."

The untalented You family: Even the Gu family's Sixth Brother, who only knows how to follow the pale-faced scholar and pretend to be refined, can step on us? The Qin family still has no integrity that should be a clean family, and they are actually promoting the dandy Sixth Brother Gu.

As she listened, Old Madam You, whose mood grew increasingly bad, shifted her butt.

The grandson's wife, standing at the door, immediately said, "Oh, Grandpa, the maids we invited from outside have come several times, saying that the guest house is full. How about we go to the hall and chat with Old Madam Gu? You two elders are so affectionate and have so much to say that it's impossible to finish it in a short time."

"You are such a clever girl, you really know how to talk," Old Madam You quickly took over the conversation, and stood up and said, "Let's go out and meet the guests together, how about that?"
