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

Chapter 7 Sorry to have kept my wife waiting
Madam Gu Liu stepped forward to discuss the matter with Madam Zhao, and the two started to pull each other.

Madam Zhao kept saying, "The new bride is ignorant, but doesn't the Sixth Madam know? I am the mother of the Marquis' children. If I am kicked out of this house, the Marquis will lose face."

The more they pull, the more they talk.

Qin Yuan lowered her eyes, and her long and curled eyelashes tightly concealed the sneer in her eyes, not revealing a single bit of it.

Right now, Madam Gu Liu is in charge of the household affairs at the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion. Her marriage to Gu Jinghui was arranged by this good sister-in-law. Madam Zhao dressed like this to bring bad luck to her, but Madam Gu Liu didn't notice it at first. Now there is nothing she can do.

Ha ha!

They thought she was a soft persimmon and deliberately humiliated her.

After all, a girl who was only sixteen years old married off her younger sister to marry into the Dingyuan Marquis’s mansion. The maids and chambermaids she brought with her were completely in the dark and knew nothing about Gu Jinghui’s likes and dislikes and taboos. She felt very guilty, but she just let them bully and manipulate her.

This is a beautiful calculation.

Qin Yuan didn't look at the two men again. Instead, he observed the expressions of the women around him and silently took note of their reactions in his heart.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will have some interactions with these people in the future.

By observing their expressions and attitudes, she can understand their closeness and position, which will facilitate her future judgment.

What the mistress of the house fears most is being deaf and blind.

Hongye was angry and annoyed, and was about to explode, but Cuiming glared at her. She came to her senses and just carefully guarded her young lady to prevent her from being bumped into.

Qin Yuan didn't say a word and let the two of them fight. Slowly, the atmosphere became more and more weird.

The ladies were all getting restless.

Madam Zhao was secretly anxious.

Qin Yuan did not cry or make a fuss. If she had cried, it would have been too much, and she would have obviously come to disrupt the Marquis's marriage.

It is even more unacceptable to throw a tantrum.

After all, people also said that she bumped into someone.

At first you could say you didn’t understand, but now that it’s been said right in front of your face, you will understand it eventually.

She didn't want to displease Lord Gu or upset Old Madam Gu because of this.

Madam Gu Liu, who was confronting her, was also anxious.

The new sister-in-law neither swallowed her anger nor quarreled with Madam Zhao, nor did she cry. It seemed that she had handed Madam Zhao over to her and would no longer care about her.

Madam Gu Liu turned to look at Qin Yuan, and saw that she was with her head tilted, leisurely chatting with the lady next to her.

He didn't take them seriously at all.

Madam Gu Liu sighed secretly, "Miscalculated."

I couldn't help but feel a little more wary of this new bride.

Finally, she asked Madam Zhao to leave. Qin Yuan then raised her chin slightly and said softly, "Thank you for your help, Sixth Brother and Sister-in-law."

Facing the other party's clear and penetrating gaze, Madam Gu Liu's face became hot. She quickly apologized, "Third sister-in-law, you are too kind. This is my negligence. I have ruined your good life."

Someone nearby tried to excuse her, "It's all because of that Miss Zhao who doesn't know what's going on. Because her husband saved Lord Gu, it's inevitable..."

Madam Gu Liu quickly interrupted, "The Marquis is a man who remembers favors. He once said that everyone in this mansion should respect them well."

"Oh?" Qin Yuan asked casually, "How old is Madam Zhao's child?"

"A boy and a girl, twins, five years old," Madam Gu Liu started talking. "The old lady said that twins are auspicious and she often calls them to her side. The Marquis adopted them as his adopted sons and daughters and loves them very much. He said that they should be treated as his own children."

After saying that, he looked up at Qin Yuan's expression and said vaguely: "...This is also because the Marquis has no children."

Qin Yuan praised: "The Marquis is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty. The Marquis has led troops for many years, and his comrades have followed him in the battlefield. They must be friends who are willing to die for him."

Qin Yuan changed the topic from Madam Zhao and the twins.

Mrs. Gu Liu, who wanted to see her lose her composure, miscalculated again.

He could only watch as the wives of the commanders became closer to Qin Yuan.

Not long after, Qin Yuan got a lot of information out indirectly. It turned out that the husband of this lady Zhao had blocked a knife for Gu Jinghui on the battlefield. At that time, the twins were less than two years old. Gu Jinghui took good care of the orphans and widows, and adopted the twins as his adopted sons and daughters. He brought them back to the Marquis' Mansion after returning from the expedition.

She twisted her fingers lightly in her sleeves.

It seems that Gu Jinghui is not yet ready to marry this Lady Zhao.

But what Madam Zhao did today was actually planned in her mind.

It seemed as if he was eager to create a rift between her and Gu Jinghui.

Mrs. Gu Liu was happy to see it happen.

Qin Yuan had experienced, seen, and heard many stories about the harem in his previous life.

If the battlefield of the adults is in the court, the battlefield of the ladies is in the backyard.

The bloody storm in the harem was no less fierce and cruel than that in the court.

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and none of them included any intention of settling down peacefully with this Madam Zhao.

The ladies sat there for an hour, and seeing that the banquet outside was almost over, they left one after another.

After everyone had left, Hongye said hesitantly, "Miss, there's something wrong with that Miss Zhao..."

Qin Yuan nodded: "If I'm not wrong, she will do something weird tonight."

"what?"

Hongye said angrily: "This is the young lady's wedding night, what right does she have?"

Cui Ming thought about it and asked, "But what about the twins?"

Qin Yuan nodded: "Which concubine wouldn't use such a trick? The Marquis has raised this pair of children since they were young, and he doesn't have any children of his own, so he naturally keeps them in mind."

"Aunt?" Cui Ming's voice changed. "Miss, are you saying that Miss Zhao wants to be a concubine in the mansion?"

Qin Yuan hummed.

Hongye became even angrier: "I should tear her mouth apart today."

Cui Ming said, "It would be best if the young lady did not quarrel with her today. How could a newly-wed lady quarrel with her? She would rather quarrel and embarrass the young lady in the Marquis' Mansion."

Hongye also figured it out, stamped her feet and started to curse: "This bitch, our young lady is also the daughter of the Jijiu family, who is she to have such thoughts? If she comes again next time, I will tear her mouth and dig her face into pieces."

Qin Yuan frowned and held his forehead: "I was telling you to be careful and not to fall into other people's traps. But you are like exploding coal."

Hongye was a person who would never suffer any loss in both of her lives. After entering the Marquis' Mansion, she was not timid for long and returned to her old ways.

Qin Yuan just gave a few brief instructions and didn't say anything more.

After a stick of incense, chaotic footsteps and laughter were heard outside the window.

Qin Yuan stood up straight, while Cui Ming and Hong Ye stood guard on both sides with extreme caution.

Outside the door, there were voices of men laughing and saying goodbye. Lord Gu's voice was drunken. Then the door was pushed open heavily, and a seven-foot-tall burly man rushed in in three or two steps.

Qin Yuan looked up and met a pair of burning eyes, as if there were flames gathering inside.

She lowered her head in shame.

Lord Gu approached and sat down next to her, his robe sleeves pressed against hers, the red wedding dress piled up in layers, quite affectionate.

Maybe it was because he drank too much, his voice was low and slightly drawn out, like a hook, making people feel itchy.

"I kept you waiting, madam."

Qin Yuan's face couldn't help but turn red.

This good-looking appearance should really be covered up with a beard.

Otherwise, there might be more than one Miss Zhao brought back to the mansion.
