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

Chapter 59 It won't be easy
Qin Jijiu was bewildered and said, "Why did that Qin want to exterminate the entire Cui family? What is this about?"

Gu Jinghui waited eagerly at the gate of the Imperial College and stopped his father-in-law, expecting the most knowledgeable person in Daxing Dynasty to tell him, but he didn't expect that his father-in-law didn't know it.

Facing Qin Jijiu’s troubled look, Gu Jinghui quickly added, “Yuan’er said it. It’s a story from a book. It’s very famous and many people know it.”

Qin Jijiu: "..."

The daughter asked, what are you looking for her father for?

Come to think of it, how many books has Gu Jinghui read?
Yuan'er has been a condescending person since she was young, and would never tell an obscure story to embarrass Lord Gu.

"Oh, oh, that," Qin Jijiu responded and said with a smile, "My dear son-in-law, is that why you are here to ask me this? This is a long story. Qin Heng is thinking about you every day. Come on, come back with me and have some wine, and we will talk slowly."

Gu Jinghui immediately said, “Okay, father-in-law. Wait for me for a moment, I’ll be back soon.”

After Qin Jijiu nodded, Gu Jinghui took the servant to the nearby shops to buy wine, food, fruits and vegetables.

It would be awkward for a son-in-law to come to visit with nothing in his hands.

Qin Jijiu stood beside the carriage, stroking his beard, and said to the driver with a smile: "The eldest son-in-law is quite polite."

Lord Gu held a higher official position and came from a higher family background than him, but he was still extremely respectful to him.

This made Qin Jijiu feel very honored.

Especially since he was standing in front of the busy gate of the Imperial College and being watched by everyone, Qin Jijiu enjoyed it very much.

The driver smiled and said, "Congratulations, sir. The Marquis respects you and loves our young lady."

Qin Jijiu nodded.

The eldest daughter is beautiful and sensible, how could she not win the Marquis's heart.

It’s not like what my younger daughter said, the Marquis only has that woman named Zhao in his heart.

This caused Cui to toss and turn for two more nights, and he didn't dare go to his concubines.

"The eldest lady has a gentle personality and strong opinions. She will be able to live a good life no matter who she marries. I have never worried about her."

As he spoke, he waved to Lin Ziqi who was standing and looking over here: "Ziqi, come here."

Lin Ziqi walked over quickly, bowed, and asked, "Father-in-law, why are you standing here? What's the matter?"

"Your brother-in-law just stopped me here to ask questions. I invited him to my house. You should go too. Bring Qin Heng along. He said his eldest brother-in-law came on a BMW and asked him to take a leave to go home for dinner."

Lin Ziqi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go find Qin Heng right away."

Qin Heng knew that his elder brother-in-law was going to have dinner at home, so he immediately followed Lin Ziqi out of the Imperial College. When he reached the door, he saw Qin Jijiu talking enthusiastically with Gu Jinghui, and the servant next to him was leading the black white-hoofed thousand-mile horse that had haunted him.

"Brother-in-law, you are here."

Qin Heng immediately pounced over, staring at the horse and describing it carefully.

Lin Ziqi and Gu Jinghui greeted each other, and they had nothing to say.

Qin Jijiu smiled and said, "Let's go, let's talk about it when we get home."

Qin Jijiu and Lin Ziqi got on the carriage, while Gu Jinghui rode a horse. Qin Heng asked with envy, “Brother-in-law, can you let me ride a horse, too?”

Although he was a little timid in front of the handsome Gu Jinghui, this horse was really greedy for him.

Gu Jinghui understood, reached out and pulled Qin Heng, and with a scream, Qin Heng sat on the horse's back.

Qin Heng blushed and said, "Brother-in-law is so amazing."

Qin Jijiu poked his head out with a smile and said, "My Lord, please don't spoil him. He is still a child and doesn't know the seriousness of the matter."

Gu Jinghui shook his head. “It’s okay. My younger sister can ride horses and likes to play polo. What man doesn’t love horses?” Qin Heng felt that his elder brother-in-law understood him even more.

Riding on Gu Jinghui's steed once would be enough for him to brag about for half a year.

Lin Ziqi, who had never ridden a horse and didn't like riding a horse, said: "..."

Qin Jijiu talked to Lord Gu through the window from time to time, and Qin Heng chattered non-stop about his views on the thousand-mile horse. Lin Ziqi sat quietly in the car, and only occasionally spoke to Qin Jijiu.

And so we arrived at the Qin Mansion.

Lin Ziqi felt that this journey was much longer than usual.

When Cui learned that the marquis's son-in-law had arrived, she quickly ordered people to serve the latest fruits, and also asked the maid to bring some sour plums, lemons and other summer drinks bought from outside.

If Lin Ziqi had come alone, he would never have been treated like this.

After finishing the preparations, Cui stopped him and said with a smile, "Wan'er has only been here for a short time, and you are here too, why don't you have dinner together before leaving?"

Lin Ziqi asked: "Why is Wan'er here?"

Cui laughed dryly and said, "She came to me to ask for some tricks, so I kept her to talk for a while. She wanted to go back, but you guys happened to come, so we just had dinner together before going back."

Lin Ziqi could only nod.

He also understood that Qin Wan despised the Lin family for being poor and that their food and drink were not as good as those of the Qin family. His mother was used to being frugal and couldn't stand Qin Wan spending money on food and drink, so she always tried to stop her. Qin Wan was often angry about this. Today, she must have taken advantage of his study at the Imperial College to come to the Qin family for a feast.

The mother-in-law was helping Qin Wan to cover up the truth.

But what could he say.

The gifts that Gu Jinghui bought were dazzling, with everything, even a bouquet of flowers for the incense room.

Cui smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits, and said, "Son-in-law is here, what else do you want to bring?"

Gu Jinghui said, “I came to your house on short notice and bought some cooked food and fruits from a street shop so that mother-in-law would not have to worry about me. Please don’t blame me for being so abrupt.”

Qin Jijiu laughed and said, "My Lord, you are so careful. It's okay. It's okay. Ziqi is a frequent visitor to my house. You should come often in the future. Don't be so polite."

Lin Ziqi: “…”

Cui smiled and left. When she reached the backyard, she said to Qin Wan, "The Marquis and Mr. Lin came together and bought a lot of things. They were very polite. It seems that they care about Qin Yuan very much."

Qin Wan chuckled and said, "How is that possible? He is just putting on a show. If he really cares, why doesn't he bring Qin Yuan with him?"

Lord Gu is a son of a noble family and is always well-mannered.

In her previous life, she and Lord Gu went out to banquets together and they looked fine on the surface. But who would have known that behind closed doors, the two of them couldn't even say a word to each other.

"Last time, Ziqi and I were shopping for my cousin in the West Market. We ran into her standing alone. When we asked her why the Marquis didn't come with her, she avoided the topic."

"Mother, the woman surnamed Zhao and her brother and sister-in-law in the Marquis' Mansion are very difficult to deal with. They are like snakes and rats in the same nest. Even if Qin Yuan has three heads and six arms, he can't deal with them."

Mrs. Cui glanced at her dubiously.

Whatever, she's already married, there's no point in talking about this anymore.

"What's going on with Mr. Lin's cousin? Why hasn't she been mentioned before? Why is she coming as soon as you get married?" Cui felt something was wrong.

"My mother-in-law used to take care of Ziqi's studies and couldn't take care of her. Now she has nothing to do and wants to find someone to keep her company. My cousin grew up with my mother-in-law, but I haven't seen her since the Lin family came to the capital."

"Then why are you here again? Doesn't your cousin have a marriage?" The more Cui listened, the more she felt something was wrong.
