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

Chapter 72 I didn't expect someone to come again

Madam Gu Liu was shocked.

"Who is coming, Lord?"

The little girl was so panicked that she couldn't explain clearly.

Madam Gu Liu had no choice but to help her maid go out to see, only to see Marquis Gu standing in the yard with his hands behind his back, his posture upright, his face gloomy, his sharp eyebrows and eyes filled with murderous intent, as if he would stab her at any time.

Behind the Marquis were two servants, leading two old women who were tied up with ropes.

"This……"

Mrs. Gu Liu's heart skipped a beat.

She recognized that these two were the ones guarding Gu Baozhu's yard.

It seems that Lord Gu is very unhappy about Gu Baozhu making a scene in Wutong Garden.

Are you here to ask questions?

still is……

Madam Gu Liu wanted to ask someone to invite Master Gu Liu to come.

Although Master Gu Liu is useless, it is always good to have him in front to block the Marquis's anger.

Madam Zhao muttered in a trembling voice, "My Lord... it's so scary today."

They seldom see this gentleman.

When Madam Gu Liu married into the mansion, Marquis Gu had already gone to the battlefield to replace the old Marquis Gu. He had not returned home for several years and his letters to his family were sparse, with most of them containing only a few words.

I only heard Master Gu Liu talk a few times, saying that his third brother took good care of him when he was in the mansion.

At that time, there had been several funerals in the family one after another.

Old Madam Gu was worried that there would be no successor to the Marquis's Mansion, so she urged her daughter to have children as soon as possible. She rarely mentioned her surviving son and seemed to have no hope of him coming back alive.

Speaking of which, this mother and son are quite strange.

If others didn't care about the legitimate or illegitimate children, they would at least leave an heir first. But the old lady didn't mention it, and Lord Gu himself was not in a hurry.

Madam Gu Liu had thought about this countless times and was afraid that this mansion would have to be left to her son in the future.

I just don't know whether this title will be passed on to Mr. Gu Liu, or her son will be adopted under the name of Mr. Gu Hou.

I didn't expect that Lord Gu would come back alive and well without any injury.

Madam Gu Liu will never forget the moment she first met Marquis Gu.

The seven-foot-tall man, dressed in military uniform, looked dusty, with a full beard, sharp eyebrows, and cold eyes. He looked at her as if she were a dead person.

With just one glance, she immediately hid all the unspeakable thoughts deep in her heart.

Although Lord Gu has been very kind to his family over the past six months, she still remembers that cold look.

Now, Madam Gu Liu faced Gu Jinghui's gaze with a tingling scalp, her heart beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her chest, and she had to use a lot of effort to stop her body from shaking.

"Third brother, what is this?"

Madam Gu Liu heard her own voice, which sounded dry.

Gu Jinghui didn't mince words and said, "All these maids failed to protect Gu Baozhu. She is such a grown-up girl, but she still barged into the courtyard of her brother and sister-in-law. As her sister-in-law, you should pay more attention to Baozhu and keep a good eye on her. If something happens to her, how will you meet Madam Wen?"

That cold tone made her feel uneasy.

Madam Gu Liu was stunned for a moment before she stammered, "These old women are always lazy without checking anything. The Marquis is right. I will discipline them well and take good care of Baozhu in the future."

Gu Jinghui asked: "How do you plan to deal with them?"

Madam Gu Liu was stunned again.

Gu Jinghui raised his eyebrows and stared at her sharply, waiting for an answer.

Madam Gu Liu shuddered and immediately said, "First, beat them with twenty boards and punish them to guard the second gate. What do you think, Lord Marquis?"

Gu Jinghui did not comment and asked again: "What about the pearl?"

“Baozhu?” Madam Gu Liu looked at Gu Jinghui in confusion.

Aunt Zhao quickly poked her in the back.

Madam Gu Liu reacted immediately and said, “I’ll go and watch her spinning and embroidering.” Gu Jinghui said, “On the Qiqiao Festival, Gu Baozhu will participate in the embroidery talent competition at the Qiqiao Convention. If she embarrasses the Marquis’s Mansion, she will just stay in the mansion and embroider from now on. If there’s any problem…”

Mrs. Gu Liu wanted to cry.

In her entire life, Gu Baozhu had never embroidered a duck that looked innocent, a butterfly that looked like a bug, or a flower that looked like a different species...

Gu Jinghui paused, glanced at her, then turned to the servant and said, "Go and bring Master Liu to me."

The servant left in a flash.

Madam Gu Liu: “…”

How does this involve Master Gu Liu again?
Gu Jinghui stopped talking, just put his hands behind his back, stepped on his boots, and paced back and forth on the steps.

Listening to the clattering sound of boots, Mrs. Gu Liu felt a headache.

"Third brother, what do you want to see me for?"

Master Gu Liu was being pushed around by the servant, his face full of resentment.

Gu Jinghui ignored him and said to Madam Gu Liu, "You are a woman. If you do something wrong, I can't punish you, but I can punish your husband. If Baozhu's temper still can't be corrected, Sixth Brother will take the punishment for you."

Gu Liuye, who thought that his third brother had changed his mind and came to give him money, said: "..."

Madam Gu Liu: “…”

Gu Jinghui glanced at the two stunned people, snorted, turned around and left.

"Third brother, third brother..."

Gu Jingjun stamped his feet in anger, but he couldn't stop Lord Gu.

He frowned and turned to complain to Madam Gu Liu: "What did you do to provoke my third brother?"

Madam Gu Liu had been at odds with him for the past two days and had not spoken to him at first, but now she did not care and said, "Your sister should have been locked up in the courtyard, but today she took Madam Zhao's two children to Wutong Garden, and not only was she chased back by your third brother, but he also arrested the gatekeeper and interrogated her."

"Oh," Master Gu Liu sneered, "You have done all the good things, but you want me to take the blame. If Third Brother really knows something, I want to see what you will do."

Madam Gu Liu said innocently, "Mrs. Zhao wanted to go back home, so she went to the upper room to make a scene. The two children didn't want to go back, so they went to look for Baozhu. How can this be blamed on me?"

Master Gu Liu glanced at her coldly and whispered, "Do you really think that everyone else is a fool?"

Madam Gu Liu was not in the mood to listen to his ridicule, so she threw out a sentence and said, "Who made me not as lucky as my third sister-in-law, with my third brother protecting me? I still have to punish these old women. Are you going to stand here and watch, or go back and coax your concubine Zheng?"

Mr. Gu Liu glared at her and turned away.

Madam Gu Liu was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger, so she severely punished these old women and sent them to guard the second gate.

There are not many people coming in and out of the second gate on weekdays. Not only is guarding the second gate boring, but the pay is also low.

For a while, the old women complained bitterly.

Fengxuan Pavilion.

After being comforted by Old Madam Gu for half a day and then sent back by Qiu Ju, Madam Zhao finally felt a little bit better.

She sat by the window and called out, "White Bird."

No one responded.

Only then did she remember that Bai Que had left.

The Qians took Bai Que away and said a lot of unpleasant things to her. She went to the upper room and cried for half a day, clamoring to take the child back to her hometown. But Lord Gu did not persuade her, and only Madam Gu comforted her throughout the whole process.

It seems that she has to come up with other ideas as soon as possible.

"What do you want, Madam Zhao?"

A person who shouldn't be here took over the conversation and came in through the curtain.

Madam Zhao frowned, "Zihe? Why is it you?"

Zi He said woodenly, "I have cancelled my leave and am back to serve you."

Madam Zhao looked at Zihe guiltily. She and Bai Que had pushed Zihe away at the beginning, but she didn't expect that she would come back now.
