Chapter 66 There is no stopping
Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Yesterday, I heard from Sixth Madam that Bai Que had been standing outside Wutong Garden to bask in the sun. Sixth Madam said that Bai Que had served the old lady before and was quite respectable. I didn't know if this would upset the old lady, so I asked Hongye to ask the Marquis. In short, Hongye knows this best, so why not make it clear in public to avoid misunderstandings."

Qian Da had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Qian Dajia smiled and said, "Madam, please be magnanimous. Then Miss Hongye will explain it to us so that we old servants can understand it."

Hongye couldn't hold it in any longer. She stepped forward and poured out everything in one swift motion. Finally, she said, "I didn't know that the one who came to invite the Marquis was Miss Bai Que, who had served the old lady. I thought it was a maid from Fengxuan Pavilion. I told the Marquis what she said, but she just didn't believe it. She threatened to make me suffer. She said she would report it to the Marquis and make me pay for it. She even tried to break into Wutong Garden. The lady had already set a rule that no maids from other courtyards could be allowed into Wutong Garden without permission. Those who violated the rule would be flogged twenty times."

Everyone feels a little uncomfortable about the money.

Qian Da's face darkened and he raised his eyes and glared at Hong Ye.

Hongye was no longer afraid, and continued, "I asked the two maids to guard the door, thinking that Miss Baique would just stand for a while and then go back, but she stood there all the time, and fainted just when the Sixth Madam came to see Madam. The Sixth Madam asked Madam about it, and Madam knew about it, so she asked me to ask the Marquis if it was serious."

Gu Jinghui picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Is there anything you don't understand right now?"

Then what's not clear?

Qian Da and Qian Dajia are both servants of the mansion, and they know everything about the affairs of the mansion.

It was obvious that the Marquis had somehow grown tired of Miss Zhao's obsession, and that his own daughter was ignorant of the situation and was making a scene at the gate of the courtyard. It would have been fine if she had not met the Sixth Madam, but after meeting the Sixth Madam, she was used as a scapegoat, which embarrassed the Madam and angered the Marquis, so he was driven out.

It's really a fight between gods and devils.

Qian Da glanced at the beautiful lady sitting next to the Marquis with mixed feelings.

He thought to himself that Miss Zhao's beauty was as insignificant as a firefly compared to the marquis's wife in front of him.

My daughter's obsession has to go to waste.

Qian Dajia sighed and wanted to fight for Bai Que, saying: "It turned out that this girl was ignorant and made the Marquis hate her, but she..."

Qian Da interrupted his wife and said, "My Lord, Madam, it's all because of Bai Que's ignorance. I don't have the face to ask you for mercy anymore. Giving birth to children is a debt. I will apologize to you and your wife on my behalf."

After saying that, he pulled Qian and everyone else to kneel on the ground and kowtow to Gu Jinghui and Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan immediately tugged at Gu Jinghui's sleeve.

Lord Gu stood up, walked over to help Qian Da up, and said, "How can I take your head? Stop it."

Qin Yuan also stepped forward and said, "Please sit down and talk slowly. The Marquis didn't actually mean to kick Bai Que out, but it was just spread by others. You two love your daughter so much that you made such a move."

Upon hearing this, Qian Da and Qian Dajia did not dare to sit on the chairs, and hurriedly found a small stool to sit at the bottom.

After everyone had taken their seats again, Qian Dajia asked hurriedly, "What does Madam want?"

Lord Gu also looked at Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "The Marquis is saying that Bai Que got sick from standing outside in the yard in the sun, so it would be better for her to go home and recuperate. Besides, Bai Que is old enough, and the old lady wanted to let her go. You two should find a good family for Bai Que, and then ask the Marquis and the old lady for grace to give her some reward, so that she can be more respectable by then."

Even Lord Gu has to give face to these two. If Bai Que gets married, Old Madam Gu will definitely reward her generously, and she and the Lord Gu will add some extra rewards.

When the time comes, tell anyone and everything will be covered up.

Qian Dajia immediately said, "Oh, so this is what the Marquis meant. This old servant has really been obsessed with lard and has lost his mind."

Qian Da looked at Lord Gu eagerly, waiting for him to express his opinion.

Gu Jinghui glanced at Qin Yuan with a half-smile and said, “Madam, you are right.”

Qian Da immediately stood up, bowed to Gu Jinghui and Qin Yuan, and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis and Madam, for your help. I will take Bai Que out right away and not cause trouble for you, Lord Marquis and Madam."

Qian Dajia also said cheerfully: "Madam is very generous. If you need me in the future, I and my wife will be happy to help you."

The two were leaving happily.

Gu Jinghui said, “Come back.” Qian Da hurriedly asked, “Does the Marquis have any other instructions?”

Gu Jinghui said, “Someone outside is spreading the rumor that I want to take Madam Zhao as my concubine. This is sheer nonsense, deliberately damaging my reputation and bringing shame to the Marquisate. After Bai Que leaves the house, remember to clear my name. I am keeping Madam Zhao and the child in the house just to repay my kindness, and I have no other intentions. Madam Zhao is in her prime, and if I don’t stay with her anymore, I am willing to buy her a dowry.”

Wow, this sentence shocked Qin Yuan.

She really didn’t expect Gu Jinghui to speak like this. Qian Da was also stunned for a moment, and then said: “When I go back, I will let Bai Que atone for his crime. Anyone who defames the Marquis and the Marquis’ Mansion will be at odds with my family.”

Gu Jinghui nodded and said, “Thank you both, go ahead, I won’t see you off.”

Qian laughed loudly and said, "I just hope that Madam will not blame me for being reckless and trespassing into Wutong Garden. Just give those gatekeepers a light punishment."

Qian Da was still able to remember to plead for the old women at this time. He did not ask for no punishment, but only for light punishment. He was really amazing.

Qin Yuan also smiled and said, "It's okay. I also ask you not to blame me, a girl. She just came into the mansion and hasn't even finished recognizing her face. If she has offended me, please let it go for my sake."

Qian Da and Qian Dajia said quickly: "No, no, it's all a misunderstanding."

Hongye also stepped forward and said a few nice words.

Even if this matter is exposed.

The two are leaving.

Gu Jinghui said again: “Wait.”

Qin Yuan glanced at him, not knowing what he was going to do next.

Qian Da asked, "My Lord, if you have any other instructions, please tell me all of them. Otherwise, I don't know when I can leave this room."

Gu Jinghui smiled and said, “You guys take the brambles away.”

Qian Da glanced at Lord Gu and stamped his feet, saying, "Lord Gu is still the same as when he was little."

After all, he still took the bramble away.

Gu Jinghui held Qin Yuan's hand and complained, "You're here to make a scene so early in the morning. I'm hungry. Let's set the table for dinner."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay."

Gu Jinghui added: “They have been standing here for quite a while, so they must be hungry. We can eat by ourselves without them serving us.”

Qin Yuan also agreed.

Gu Jinghui gave her face in front of the old couple Qian and let her make the decision. She could do whatever he said.

Cui Ming pursed her lips and arranged the breakfast carefully. Fortunately, it was summer and the food was not cold despite the delay.

Gu Jinghui sighed: "I'm really hungry."

Qin Yuan was actually hungry too.

The two of them didn't say anything. They finished their breakfast quietly. After rinsing their mouths, Gu Jinghui said, "Today I..."

Before he could finish his words, there was another commotion outside the yard.

Gu Jinghui frowned and said angrily, “Why is there no peace all day long?”

This time he recognized that it was Gu Baozhu, who was supposed to be in solitary confinement, who came with Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er.

 Thanks to Mo Qinqing for the monthly ticket, (,,ω)ノ“(っω`。)
