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

Chapter 67 You and I Are One

Qin Yuan sighed and said, "But are Madam Zhao's two children here?"

Gu Jinghui carefully examined her expression, but could not tell anything, so he asked, "How did you guess that?"

"When Mr. and Mrs. Qian came, I thought it was them. I didn't expect them to come now. Maybe Mr. and Mrs. Qian said something to provoke Madam Zhao."

As Qin Yuan was talking, she pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Didn't you say that you wanted Mr. and Mrs. Qian to help you clean up your reputation outside, and that you wanted to give a dowry to Madam Zhao?"

Qian Duo was a shrewd man. He originally wanted to sacrifice his reputation and keep Bai Que in the mansion, but after hearing what Lord Gu said, he immediately decided to take Bai Que away.

How could he swallow this anger in vain? When he took Bai Que away, he would have to break off relations with Madam Zhao to show his loyalty.

Gu Jinghui was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, “You are really smart. I didn’t even think of this.”

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty is not concerned about the inner palace, so of course he can't think of it, just like I can't think of what happened on the battlefield. I guess you will have to smooth things over later, and Madam Zhao is making a fuss in order to retreat in order to advance. But I'm a little curious, who brought the two children here?"

The Sixth Lady would never do such a thing.

Gu Jinghui said in a bad tone, "What you can never guess is the pearl."

Qin Yuan looked at him without saying anything, but her beautiful eyes had made her thoughts clear - wasn't Gu Baozhu put in solitary confinement? How did she escape? Was she put in solitary confinement like this?

Gu Jinghui said angrily: “She actually managed to escape. I must punish these bastards.”

Before he finished speaking, Gu Baozhu's voice came from outside the corridor, "Third brother, where are you? Cheng Ge'er, Yu Jie'er and I are anxious to find you."

The sound was loud and a bit impatient, and was accompanied by the crying of two young children.

“You are becoming more and more unruly. You even barge into my and your third sister-in-law’s yard?” Gu Jinghui poked his head out, glared at Gu Baozhu, and said, “How old are you? It’s ok for you to be crazy by yourself, but you also bring Cheng Ge’er and Yu Jie’er with you. I will punish you.”

Gu Baozhu cried, "Oh, I don't have time to explain in detail. Third brother, Miss Zhao went to her mother and cried, saying that she wanted to go back to her hometown."

"Hometown?"

Gu Jinghui frowned and looked at the two sobbing children, feeling annoyed.

Is this what Yuan'er meant by retreating in order to advance?
He clenched his fingers.

Gu Baozhu said, "Yes, Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er had no one to look for, so they found my yard, and that's why I ran away. Third brother, you can't let Madam Zhao go back home. Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er are so young, and they are helpless with Madam Zhao, you can't bear it."

Yu Jieer screamed, "Daddy, Yu Jieer doesn't want to be separated from you. Daddy, Daddy."

Cheng Ge'er's eyes were also tearful and he was very sad.

Gu Jinghui sighed, turned his head back, and complained to Qin Yuan, "What is she doing?"

Qin Yuan understood that she was referring to Madam Zhao.

"Let Baozhu come in and talk. The mothers in charge will be here soon."

Gu Jinghui was stunned for a moment, then he realized that even if Madam Zhao wanted to go back, she couldn’t just leave.

He looked at the calm Qin Yuan and asked, "Yuan'er, based on what you see, what should we do?"

Qin Yuan asked back: "What do you think we should do?"

The one who can make the decision is Gu Jinghui, not her.

If one day, Gu Jinghui regretted it, wouldn't he blame her again?
Although she really wanted to ask Zhao and her son to leave, she did not want to make the decision on behalf of Gu Jinghui.

She's only adding fuel to the fire.

Gu Jinghui said worriedly, "I want them to move out of the mansion, but not too far from the Marquis' Mansion. If anything happens, the Marquis' Mansion can take care of them. Not to mention their daily expenses, I won't sit idly by even if it comes to the future of the two children. But Madam Zhao insisted on taking the two children back to her hometown, so...ah, how can I face my former brothers?" Qin Yuan understood that military generals were different from civil officials.

Civil officials like to form factions and support each other in the court.

Military generals must live and die together with their comrades and form a bond of gratitude and loyalty.

As the saying goes, father and son fight together in battle.

It would be best if there were natural blood ties between father and son and brothers, but if there were no blood ties, they would have to be tied together in other ways.

Many military generals would raise family generals and adopt sons and godsons.

The servants in the Dingbei Marquis's mansion had all followed their ancestors through seas of blood and mountains of corpses for three generations.

Gu Jinghui received the life-saving grace from others, so he should repay the favor and take care of the other person's family. If he fails to do so, he will lose the hearts of all the brothers behind him.

This is exactly why both Old Madam Gu and Marquis Gu find Madam Zhao difficult to deal with.

She smiled and said, "My Lord, haven't you already thought clearly about the arrangements? If I'm wrong and Madam Zhao really wants to go back home, my Lord can't force her to do so, but you can still take good care of them."

Seeing that she had an idea in mind, Gu Jinghui immediately said happily: "Yuan'er, you just showed kindness to Mr. and Mrs. Qian, which was very good. Not only did they not force Bai Que to stay in the mansion, but they also calmed down their resentment. You and I are husband and wife, and you still have to help me with some ideas about Madam Zhao's matter. If for no other reason, I don't want to disappoint the two children and ruin their future."

What she meant was that he couldn't afford to offend Madam Zhao but he could afford to avoid her, but he had watched the two children grow up and loved them sincerely. He also adopted them as his adopted sons and hoped that they would become successful and have a good future. He couldn't let them be delayed by Madam Zhao's actions.

Qin Yuan didn't respond, but just pushed him and said angrily: "Why don't you call them in? Baozhu ran out to make a scene because of them. You should listen to what she has to say and send her back quickly, otherwise mother will be angry if she finds out."

Gu Jinghui couldn't help but smile.

His little wife is also a vengeful person. She still remembers to keep an eye on him and wants to lock Gu Baozhu up.

He had to be careful not to offend her.

"Baozhu, bring them in quickly. Your third sister-in-law is also here."

Gu Jinghui spoke, and Gu Baozhu was extremely reluctant, but she had no choice but to drag the two children in.

Cui Ming brought the three of them into the outer room of the main house. There were not many things in it. The objects placed on the antique shelves were of simple shapes, and there were green bonsai standing next to them. There was a spring outing picture and a couplet hung on the wall. The window faced the lush flowers, plants and trees in the yard. The room was filled with a fragrance that had never been smelled before, which was long and distant.

This was the first time that Gu Baozhu and others entered this room.

I feel inexplicably restrained.

At the top, Qin Yuan and Gu Jinghui sat next to each other.

Qin Yuan had a golden hairpin in her hair and a flower ornament on her forehead, looking gorgeous and elegant; Gu Jinghui wore a blue suit, with his thick black hair tied tightly with a white jade hair crown, looking handsome and unruly, with his narrow, dark eyes looking at them unhappily, and he seemed difficult to get along with.

"Baozhu, you've been messing around all day long."

Yu Jie'er's short legs stopped when she was about to run over.

"Your father is not the same as before. He doesn't want us anymore," her mother told her. She originally refused to believe it, but now, she has to believe it.
