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

Chapter 68 I Can't Stand It Anymore
Gu Jinghui was talking about Gu Baozhu, but Gu Baozhu looked at Qin Yuan unhappily.

Qin Yuan found it a little funny.

Obviously, Gu Baozhu felt that it was because of her that she was scolded by her third brother, and it seemed that he had been cursing her in his heart these days.

Gu Jinghui then said to the two children standing aside, “Come and meet your stepmother.”

Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er said nothing.

Qin Yuan said: "Forget it, don't embarrass the child, let's talk business."

Gu Jinghui glanced at them with disappointment and asked Gu Baozhu unhappily, "What's going on?"

Gu Baozhu said loudly, "That's exactly what happened. Madam Zhao went to my mother's place and said she wanted to go back to her hometown in Jizhou. My mother said how could she, a widow with two young children, leave like that, and was trying to persuade her. The two of them took advantage of no one to look for me and ran out to look for me. They dared to come to Wutong Garden to find you only after I brought them with me."

Hongye rolled her eyes quietly when she heard that.

Cheng Ge'er begged, "Dad, Mom wants to go back to her hometown. We haven't met the people there yet. Yu Jie'er and I don't want to leave you. Please persuade Mom. She listens to you the most."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jie'er rubbed her eyes and cried again.

Gu Jinghui glanced at Qin Yuan quietly, and seeing that Qin Yuan didn’t say anything, he said, “Good children, stop crying. You can’t bear to leave your adoptive father, and he can’t bear to leave you either. I have asked Sixteen to invite people from your father’s clan. Why is your mother making a fuss about going back?”

Only then did Qin Yuan understand why Sixteen had not been seen for the past two days.

Gu Baozhu was stunned.

The two children were also confused. They had grown up thinking that Gu Jinghui was their biological father. Although others talked about him in private, they would never say it to their faces.

This was the first time that their father was mentioned in a serious manner, and the person mentioned was Gu Jinghui.

It turns out that they are not Lord Gu’s biological children.

Cheng Ge'er lowered his head.

Gu Jinghui added: “You will understand when you grow up. Even if your mother takes care of you, it is better to have your husband’s family around to protect you. Otherwise, the gossip will be unpleasant and people’s words will be scary.”

"I'm planning to send Cheng Ge'er to study at the Imperial College in a few days, and Yu Jie'er should ask the nanny to teach her. When Sixteen invites someone to come up, your mother can do whatever she wants. Why is she making a fuss now?"

Everyone: "..."

Qin Yuan didn't want to talk either.

Gu Jinghui had arranged everything for them, but they didn’t want to follow the path he had drawn. When he found out, he would naturally understand.

It was not her turn to spoil his fun.

But I have to say that Gu Jinghui is really good to these two children.

It’s a pity that this thoughtfulness is destined to change because of Madam Zhao’s thoughts.

Gu Baozhu said after a while: "What does Third Brother mean?"

"I mean you should go back and stay here. This is not something you can control. Didn't mother punish you with three months of confinement? Why did you come out? Don't think I don't know. You spread rumors about your third brother when you went out to party. What did you say about Madam Zhao and her two children living in the mansion? You are also responsible for their inability to live there."

Cheng Ge'er looked at Gu Baozhu suspiciously.

Gu Baozhu muttered, "I already know I was wrong. This is not my fault. Lady Zhao said that to my sixth sister-in-law, and that's what she meant. And you're so nice to Cheng Ge'er and the others, who wouldn't have wild thoughts?"

Gu Jinghui's anger suddenly disappeared by half, and he didn't have the energy to argue with her.

"I think you really need to be taught a lesson. With your mouth, are you going to marry someone without a father, a mother, a brother or a sister-in-law?"

Gu Jinghui said to Qin Yuan, “Yuan’er, tell a few maids to send our Seventh Young Lady back.”

Gu Baozhu stamped her feet and said angrily, "I can leave on my own." Gu Jinghui threatened coldly, "If I find out again, you really won't even be able to come out for the Lantern Festival in the future."

After hearing this, Gu Baozhu no longer cared about Madam Zhao or the two children. She turned around angrily, hit the curtain and ran away.

Gu Jinghui then said to the two children, “Do you want to stay here and play for a while, or have someone take you back to the upper room? When the old lady finds out that you are gone, I’m afraid she will look for you everywhere. If you want to stay here, I will send someone to tell Rong Mama or Qiu Ju.”

He didn't notice it before, but now he feels more and more that these two children are lacking in manners.

He really follows suit.

He learned bad things from Zhao Niangzi and Gu Baozhu.

However, they did not respect Yuan'er, and Yuan'er would not teach them.

You still have to go to school quickly and not stay at home all the time, hanging out with those ignorant wives and women.

Before the two children could say anything, Gu Jinghui said, “Don’t play with your Aunt Baozhu anymore. She’s crazy and will lead you astray. You are different from her.”

He didn't say what the difference was.

Qin Yuan knew that he meant that Gu Baozhu was the only daughter of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, and no matter how bad she was, she could always marry into a similar family.

But they are different, especially Yu Jie'er. If she is raised in the wrong way, it will be difficult for her to get married.

But seeing that the two kids didn't understand what he was saying at all, Qin Yuan felt tired for him.

Yu Jie'er choked up and said, "Daddy, can't you carry Yu Jie'er and go find mom? Tell mom not to go back? Daddy always did this in the past."

As she spoke, she glanced at Qin Yuan who was sitting next to Gu Jinghui with tearful eyes.

Cheng Ge'er also looked at Gu Jinghui expectantly.

The pleading look in his eyes made it hard to refuse.

Gu Jinghui sighed and said, “Adoptive father can’t go. There are differences between men and women. You have grown up, so adoptive father can’t hug you all the time. You don’t understand now, but you will understand in the future. Adoptive father is doing this for your own good. In two years, you and Cheng Ge’er won’t be as close as you are now. When you get married, adoptive father will only be able to see you once every few years. If your mother wants to leave, adoptive father can’t stop her. If she wants to take you away, adoptive father can’t stop her even more.”

"Wow."

Yu Jie'er cried her heart out.

Gu Jinghui looked uncomfortable, but he refused to hug her again.

Qin Yuan: “…”

This is how Lord Gu coaxes children.

But she couldn't say much, so she had to order Hongye to go to the upper room to tell Rong Mama the news, and then call Xiaohong in. Cuiming helped to comfort the child, but the more she comforted the child, the more she cried.

Fortunately, Xiaohong and Qiuju came after a while and coaxed the two children away with a few words.

Hongye then said, "Madame Rong asked me to tell the Marquis and his wife not to worry about the upper room. The old lady will decide whether Lady Zhao stays or goes."

Qin Yuan looked at Gu Jinghui and said, “Since Madam Rong said so, it’s better for us not to go. But you should also tell Madam Rong and mother about your plan.”

Gu Jinghui nodded and said, “Mother knows the seriousness of the matter and will not let Madam Zhao go. She is just trying to save some face.”

Qin Yuan curled his lips, he finally understood.

Gu Jinghui suddenly said, “I remember there is an empty courtyard facing the street in the mansion. When the sixteen people arrive, we will separate the courtyard for them to live in, and build a door facing the street for them to enter and exit. If they want to enter the mansion, they can go in through the corner door. They live so close to each other, and the houses are divided into two families. If they continue to make trouble like this, I can’t stand it anymore.”
