Chapter 65: I am not an unreasonable person
Hongye immediately said, "I'll go out and take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man lifted the curtain and rushed out.

Gu Jinghui also listened carefully. He was so focused on talking to Qin Yuan that he didn't notice the noise outside. He didn't know what was going on.

Soon, he understood the reason.

His handsome eyebrows were furrowed, and there was anger on his face.

When Qin Yuan saw his appearance, her long eyebrows slightly frowned, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Hongye suddenly ran in and said hurriedly, "My Lord, Madam, Baique's parents came in carrying a bramble on their backs and are now kneeling in the corridor."

Hearing this, Qin Yuan relaxed her brows and looked at Gu Jinghui and said, “It seems that when they went to beg Mother yesterday, Mother didn’t give in. They are trying to take advantage of their seniority and ask the Marquis to give them some respect.”

Gu Jinghui calmed down his anger and asked her, "Yuan'er, what do you think?"

Qin Yuan said: "They came to Wutong Garden just because they thought that the Marquis would not deny them this respect, and..."

She stretched out her voice, looked at Hongye and said, "I'm afraid my girl is to blame."

Hongye had received her advice last night, and immediately figured out the key point. She said angrily, "It was obviously Bai Que who did something wrong, and the Marquis punished her, why do they blame me? They are simply picking on the weak."

Gu Jinghui looked at her, a trace of amusement flashed in his narrow eyes, and he said unhappily: “You mean to let them blame me, you slave are really…”

Qin Yuan quickly interrupted him and said, "Please help this girl, my Lord."

She tilted her face up, and the tiny hairs on her jade-white face were clearly visible in the morning light. There was a small mole on the tip of her cute nose, which made Gu Jinghui want to reach out and touch it.

He hid his hands behind his back, twisted them again and again, and then said, "Okay, this is all for your sake. This girl of yours is annoying all day long, and it's only you who pampers her. If it were my temper, I would have to give her ten beatings to kill her before she could talk nonsense again."

Hongye: "..."

Lord Gu is really not a good person.

She even spoke well of him in front of the young lady.

Qin Yuan sneered and said, "Hongye, why don't you thank the Marquis? Otherwise, Bai Que's parents will hate you, which will be troublesome."

Hongye finally understood and immediately bowed to Lord Gu, saying, "Thank you, Lord. I will serve you wholeheartedly in the future and will not dare to act rashly."

Gu Jinghui snorted amusedly and said, “You’d better remember this.”

Qin Yuan reminded, "My Lord, Bai Que's father and mother are still outside."

Gu Jinghui looked through the gap in the window lattice and saw Bai Que's father and mother, both wearing coarse cloth clothes and carrying brambles on their backs, kneeling in the corridor, begging the marquis to give them some respect and not to drive Bai Que out.

Gu Jinghui turned around and said to Qin Yuan, "I'm going out to meet someone, I can't just leave like this."

He glanced at the clothes and accessories on the tray, and the meaning was very obvious: he wanted Qin Yuan to help him change his clothes.

Qin Yuan hurriedly said, "Hongye, why don't you quickly bring the Marquis's clothes over here."

Gu Jinghui raised the corners of his lips slightly and opened his hands, letting Qin Yuan do whatever she wanted. He did not say a word, but occasionally pinched Qin Yuan's hands, his expression still extremely serious, as if he was just pinching them casually.

Qin Yuan was speechless and had to let him do what he wanted.

Soon, Lord Gu was dressed up and even had his hair combed by Qin Yuan. He then walked out with his hands behind his back. He coughed and said, "Qian Da, from the Qian family, you all watched me grow up. You come here and kneel at your age. Isn't this making it difficult for me? If you have anything to say, just say it directly. I am not the kind of person who will be unreasonable."

Then he said to the maids beside him, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help your Grandpa Qian and Grandma Qian up and help them into the house."

Lord Gu didn't wait for the two of them to say anything and walked straight into the hall.

Qian Da and Qian Da wanted to refuse to leave, but seeing that the Marquis had already gone to the hall, they had no choice but to get up and follow behind. Qin Yuan and two maids followed behind Marquis Gu, thinking to themselves, it turns out that Bai Que's parents were surnamed Qian, and it was just right that the Qian family was in charge of the treasury.

The treasury is managed by the most trusted person in the mansion. It can be seen that when the old lady assigned Bai Que to Madam Zhao, she was treating the widow of the marquis's benefactor sincerely. Who knew it would turn out like this.

When they entered the hall, Mr. and Mrs. Qian were still standing there with whips on their backs. They looked unhappy, as if they were very angry and had no place to vent.

Qin Yuan hurriedly asked Hongye and Cuiming to pour tea, and then said, "Please sit down and talk first."

Mr. and Mrs. Qian said nothing and did not move.

Gu Jinghui said, “Madam, please sit down. Why are you still standing?”

Qian Da said coldly: "I dare not. What if I anger the Marquis and his wife and I and they drive me out?"

Gu Jinghui's face darkened.

Seeing this, Mr. Qian immediately said, "Somehow, the daughter that my husband and I raised has offended the Marquis and his wife, and she is going to be kicked out. The face that several generations have accumulated is gone. I still hope that the Marquis will not kick Bai Que out because of what others say. How dare you be so arrogant and sit here to drink tea and talk."

Hongye couldn't help but speak out.

Cui Ming was far away, so she coughed lightly.

Hongye glanced at Qin Yuan, pouted and endured it.

Gu Jinghui said unhappily, “You can stand if you want. This Marquis drove Bai Que out of the house for no other reason. Bai Que did something wrong and made this Marquis and my wife embarrassed. She is not young anymore. My wife also told this Marquis that she would find a family to marry her off. This Marquis told her to go back and wait to get married. What’s wrong with that?”

Qian Dajia smiled and said, "Bai Que has the Marquis in her heart, how could she do something that would embarrass the Marquis? She also followed Madam Zhao's instructions and came to Wutong Garden to invite the Marquis, but she didn't even see him. She fainted under the scorching sun, and when she woke up, she heard that the Marquis would kick her out. Bai Que cried so hard that she wanted to commit suicide. We old couple have no choice but to put down our old faces and plead for forgiveness, begging the Marquis to let Bai Que stay. If she is kicked out, how can she live?"

Qian Dadao said, "The Marquis wants to kick her out, and as a servant, I can't say anything. Who made the master unhappy because of my own blindness? But, Bai Que has always valued the Marquis more than her own life. She has been loyal to the Marquis since she was a child. She wanted to work in the old lady's yard just to fulfill a crazy idea. The Marquis did this, and the child was stubborn. She really couldn't stand it. She refused to eat or drink. It really made her parents feel distressed."

Having said this, Gu Jinghui glanced at Qin Yuan. Qin Yuan understood that Lord Gu didn't know what to say.

Bai Que's parents were indeed smart. Their words implicitly revealed Bai Que's infatuation and also put pressure on the two of them.

If they hadn't committed any serious mistake, the master would have given the old couple some respect and allowed them to stay.

 Thank you all for your support. Qijian has read everyone’s comments carefully.

  Based on everyone's reactions, Qijian revised the introduction of the book, hoping to more accurately reflect Qin Yuan's mentality.

  Qin Yuan had experienced the ups and downs of life in her previous life and knew that life was not perfect. She could manage her life well by her own means.

  Therefore, she values ​​things other than love that can make her live more comfortably. (There is not much conspiracy in this book)

  Of course, she deserves better.

  As for the question that some friends said that the Gu family was stupid, why would Old Madam Gu trust a concubine's daughter-in-law?

  This is because the Dingbei Marquis have been guarding the border for generations. Madam Gu gave birth to four sons, but only the third son is left, and he has yet to marry.

  As Madam Gu got older, she handed over the household affairs to the wife of Gu Liuye, who was too weak to practice martial arts. After all, swords and guns are blind, and no one knows whether Gu Jinghui can come back alive from the battlefield. Madam Gu naturally trusts Madam Gu Liuye.

  There is also the issue of Gu Jinghui being too old. Yes, people in ancient times generally matured precociously. He was a bit old in ancient times. If he were alive today, he would still be in his thirties and would look like a master's degree graduate.

  In addition, Qijian has an old book "Three Questions a Medical Concubine Asks Every Day: Have You Abused the Trash to Coax Your Husband?" (Yunqi Academy), in which the hero Yuan Ming is independent and only opens his heart to the heroine. The heroine is good at power and military tactics, and can single-handedly reverse the gears of fate and break all kinds of conspiracies and tricks. The villain is quite difficult to deal with, and I guess everyone will like it.

  Thank you all for your support, I really appreciate it.
