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

Chapter 77 The root of the problem is here

After walking a few steps, Qin Yuan paused and asked, "Go and find out who the Marquis went out to drink with today?"

If it was a serious invitation, it would be a bit strange that it was neither too early nor too late.

Cui Ming responded and left.

Qin Yuan stood outside the door and watched the flowers. After waiting for a while, Cui Ming replied, "The Marquis went to the Sang family's tile house to listen to a story, and then he met His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, and they had a few drinks."

Did you go to Sangjiawazi to listen to stories?

Qin Yuan pursed her lips and smiled, knowing why Lord Gu was looking for her.

Her husband, who had some dignity, would never admit that he didn't know in front of her, but would always ask around in private.

But he always hides the beginning and not the end.

Cui Ming saw her pursed her lips and smiled, and asked, "Madam, what are you laughing at?"

"nothing."

Qin Yuan slowly shook his head and said, "Let's go and see what the Marquis has to say."

The two of them walked to the main room, and the maid guarding outside whispered, "Madam, the Marquis said he had a headache when he came back, and he wanted to see you. He has already lain down now."

Qin Yuan's eyelids twitched.

Lord Gu has decided to stay in the main house to rest.

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "You wait outside. I'll go in and take a look. I'll have someone bring the hangover soup over later."

The little maid opened the curtain and Qin Yuan walked in. As soon as she entered the inner room, she smelled a strong smell of alcohol in the room. Cui Ming hurriedly started to burn incense.

Qin Yuan said: "Not busy."

She walked a few steps and saw Lord Gu lying in the red gauze tent without taking off his outer clothes and boots. His jade crown was gone and his black hair was loose like clouds, which made his handsome and white profile look like a sculpture. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "What a good-looking skin."

But this man is a military general who has fought bloody battles and blown sand on the border for many years.

Qin Yuan softened her voice and called him, "My Lord, My Lord?"

The person in the tent did not move.

Qin Yuan walked forward slowly and whispered, "Why don't you take off your outer clothes before going to bed?"

She sat on the bed and reached out to help Gu Jinghui take off his boots. Just as she lifted one foot, she was hugged and dragged into the tent.

Qin Yuan couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

Then she heard Gu Jinghui whispering in her ear: "What are you doing at home today? Are you scolding me secretly?"

Cui Ming covered her mouth and quietly retreated.

There were only the two of them in the room.

Her ears were hit by his hot breath, and from time to time she could smell the strong smell of alcohol.

She snorted and said, "My Lord, you haven't done anything wrong, why should I secretly scold you?"

"Hmph, what you say is true."

Gu Jinghui tightened his grip around her waist, and heat from his chest and arms spread to her body.

Qin Yuan was feeling a little impatient and was thinking about what to say to get out of this situation.

Gu Jinghui then continued, “Why don’t you call me husband again? With a master like you, there is a servant like Hongye. If you ask her to call you Madam, she will pretend to obey you but secretly disobey you. What about you?”

Qin Yuan heard some dissatisfaction and said with a smile: "Where did you get the wine from, husband? Hongye just came into the mansion and is not used to being called. It will be fine after you call her more."

Gu Jinghui asked: "Really?"

As he said this, he lifted Qin Yuan's body up so that she was face to face with him.

Qin Yuan met his obscure eyes, was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "This is just a small matter, would I lie to you?"

Gu Jinghui sighed: “It’s hard to say.”

"?" Qin Yuan looked at his Adam's apple rolling and couldn't help laughing: "Husband, what are you doing? Didn't you come back to catch me after hearing something outside?"

Gu Jinghui let go of his hand, lay flat on his back, and said, “You scholars are always scolding warriors like me in a roundabout way, but you never say it directly, but keep it in your heart. If you can’t help it, you will hint secretly. If I still can’t guess what you are thinking, I am afraid you will secretly scold me for being a fool in your heart.”

Qin Yuan burst out laughing.

She actually heard a hint of resentment.

This is really strange.

Gu Jinghui said unhappily: “Still laughing, is it really that funny?”

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Although my husband is a warrior, he doesn't act like one. Otherwise, why didn't you explain it to me face to face and ask me directly?"

Gu Jinghui: “…”

He closed his eyes and remained silent.

It was obvious that he wanted Qin Yuan to think that he was just talking when he was drunk and never mention it again.

Qin Yuan insisted, "Is your husband angry because of Guan Yu's long night reading of the Spring and Autumn Annals? It's just that my father heard some gossip and was a little worried about me. I told you frankly so that your husband wouldn't know about it in the future. After all, my father couldn't tell you this, so he had to do it this way. You should also be more considerate of him."

"Guan Yunchang kept watch for his sister-in-law and read all night. I, I, I have nothing to do with Miss Zhao."

Gu Jinghui said aggrievedly.

Qin Yuan comforted him softly, saying, "I know."

"What do you know? How do you know?"

Gu Jinghui was a little excited and turned to face Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan lowered her eyes, and her long, curly eyelashes hid the cleverness in her eyes.

She has already given them the medicine, how could they not be clean?

Those seemingly plausible but ambiguous words said by Madam Zhao might make the bride, who was devoted to Gu Jinghui, feel extremely anxious, panic, and do something stupid.

And she never took these words to heart.

Not to mention that it didn't work, even if it did, she would have a way to deal with it.

It all depends on whether it is worth it or not.

The current Lord Gu is still very worthy in her eyes.

"Even my mother almost didn't believe me, why do you believe me?"

Gu Jinghui persistently wanted an answer.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "I think my husband is just ignorant of the affairs of the inner house. He spends all day thinking about fighting and marching, but he is not the kind of person who would flirt with other women. I revealed my father's hidden message just to persuade my husband."

Gu Jinghui asked: "What do you want to advise?"

Qin Yuan said solemnly: "Master Guan has a clear and proper grasp of the rules of doing things, which is praised by future generations. Cao Cao tested him because Cao Cao did not trust him, and he was afraid that Cao Cao himself could not do it, but Master Guan did it, and not only did he do it, but also made others have nowhere to complain. As the saying goes, "In a melon field, a lot of gossip can melt gold." Why don't you follow Master Guan's example? There will be fewer criticisms in the court in the future, and those people in the Censorate are not idle."

The generals respected Guan Yu in the first place. Hearing this, Gu Jinghui was a little distracted. After a while, he said, “Yuan Er is indeed very talented. Your brother is right.”

"Oh?"

Qin Yuan was a little surprised.

That kid Qin Heng actually praised her behind her back?

Gu Jinghui said: “Just yesterday, I was drinking with my father-in-law, brother-in-law, and brother-in-law, and they said that you are talented and have the potential to be a successful candidate.”

Qin Yuan glanced at his expression and saw that he was looking at her intently, so she smiled and said, "It's just some jokes. My father is the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, so I am close to him and have read more books than other girls."

Gu Jinghui sighed and said, “My brother-in-law also told me to just ask you directly if I have anything to ask, you read a lot.”

Qin Yuan understood that Gu Jinghui was upset and had been testing the issue here.
