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

Chapter 84 Considering My Son
Hongye rushed into the inner room, lowered her voice, and chased after Qin Yuan and asked, "Miss, how did you offend the Marquis? I saw that the Marquis had a very ugly expression when he left just now."

Cui Ming also rushed in.

Qin Yuan glanced at the two maids. Hongye looked nervous, while Cuiming was like a frightened bird.

Obviously, Cui Ming started to worry again.

She smiled and said, "The Marquis wants Cheng Ge'er to enter the Imperial College."

Hongye asked: "You refused?"

Cui Ming also looked at Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't open the Imperial College, how could I refuse? The Marquis wants to arrange Cheng'er's future, but he thinks it's not good for him to follow Madam Zhao, but he can't let go."

Can't pick it up, can't put it down.

Just six words.

Gu Jinghui was a decisive general on the battlefield, but he was also very sentimental.

If it were Lin Ziqi, anyone would be willing to give it up for their own future.

Hongye frowned.

Cui Ming asked, "But why does the Marquis look so unhappy?"

Qin Yuan said: "It just hit the nail on the head."

Cui Ming wanted to say something but stopped herself. She just frowned and looked worried. Hong Ye also lost her smile.

Qin Yuan told them to clean up the table, then she went to the inner room to light a stick of incense, and picked up the account book that she had not finished reading last night, seeming to be unaffected at all.

Cui Ming whispered to Hong Ye outside, "I have been worried since last night. The Marquis was so scary just now, but the young lady was as calm as a rock."

Hongye said, "There is no one that the young lady cannot appease. I don't think the Marquis will be angry for long."

Having said that, both of them couldn't help but have a stern look on their faces, without any sign of smile.

After a while, the servant who followed the Marquis came in breathlessly, holding a horse whip in his hand. He asked the maid to call Hongye out and asked quietly in the corridor: "Sister Hongye, where is the clothes that Madam collected for the Marquis?"

Hongye hurried in to get the suitcase she had packed that morning. Without having time to talk to Qin Yuan, she ran out again and handed over the Xiangfei bamboo suitcase she was holding, complaining, "Why didn't you come to get it when you left?"

The servant frowned and smiled, "The Marquis was very anxious, but he didn't mention it before. He only remembered it after he got on the horse, and ordered me to come back to get it. In fact, there are some in the main camp."

Hongye felt half relieved.

The servant said, "The Marquis said that the books he left in the side room should also be taken away, and he also asked me to ask Madam if there are any books for him, so that they can be taken along, otherwise there will be nothing to do in the camp. I won't trouble two masters for one thing, so please ask Sister Hongye to make another trip."

Hongye also felt relieved.

The lady is indeed a lady.

My Lord, are you feeling better again?
She smiled and said, "Okay, wait here, I'll go ask the lady."

The servant was waiting in the corridor with the suitcase in his arms.

Hongye couldn't suppress the smile on her face, she covered her face and screamed softly, rushed into the inner room, and said to Qin Yuan: "Miss, the Marquis got on the horse and remembered to ask someone to come back to get the suitcase."

Qin Yuan raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "Yeah."

Hongye smiled and said, "Miss, the Marquis also asked you to send him some books. He has nothing to do in the camp, so he might as well read to kill time."

Qin Yuan couldn't help but burst out laughing and said, "Okay, I'll go look for it."

Hongye said, "Then I will go to the side room to get the copy of Spring and Autumn Annals that the Marquis requested."

Qin Yuan glanced at Hongye.

This little girl had a gloomy face just now, but now she is smiling so hard that her teeth are showing, and she even has the mind to tease Lord Gu.

Really... Qin Yuan didn't bother to say anything to her and called Cui Ming to look for books together.

Cui Ming looked cheerful and asked, "What book does Madam want to give to the Marquis?"

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "My Lord, aren't you worried about Cheng Ge'er's affairs? Just give him two copies of "The Rules for Being a Good Student" or "The Augmented Collection of Wise Sayings."

Cui Ming couldn't help laughing.

"But the lady didn't bring it."

"Yes, this is not the Qin family's study. I actually forgot about it. Then I'll give this to the Marquis."

Qin Yuan pulled out three volumes of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and said, "Let the Marquis read this to kill time."

Cui Ming's mouth twitched, but she still took it and said, "That's fine."

When they returned to the main room, Hongye was already waiting there with oil paper and cloth bags.

Seeing that Qin Yuan was holding the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Hongye smiled softly and said, "This is good."

She excitedly wrapped the two books in oil paper, then in cloth, and tied the tape carefully before taking them to the waiter waiting in the corridor, saying, "Madam said that the Marquis should read these two books to pass the time."

The servant held it in his hand and said, "Sister Hongye, I'm leaving now. Does Madam have anything to tell the Marquis?"

Hongye was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Wait a minute."

She hurried back to the house and asked, "Miss, the Marquis asked if there was anything you wanted to tell him?"

Qin Yuan pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Yes, I told him to eat and change clothes on time, and not to read too late, so as not to hurt his eyes."

Hongye hurried out again to pass on the message.

The servant then left.

Hongye walked back to the main room, fell down on the embroidered cushion, and said, "It's really tiring."

Qin Yuan said: "I have something else to do later."

Hongye: "..."

Sure enough, the little maid came in again and said, "The housekeepers are here."

Cui Ming cheered up. Today she would do as the young lady said and pick a maid from the sewing room to replace Mama Lu. She would also find a way to comfort Mama Lu and prevent her from getting too panicked and causing trouble.

Qin Yuan put down the account book in his hand, stood up and said, "Let's go."

The mothers in charge had completely shaken off the listless look of the day before. They were all dressed neatly and stood properly.

Hongye nodded secretly, as she was stunned by the young lady's behavior yesterday.

She called the roll as usual, and everyone who answered the roll was full of energy.

Mother Lu stood below, glancing at Cui Ming and Qin Yuan from time to time. The worry and pleading in her eyes were so obvious that they seemed to be turning into reality. Anyone who saw this would sigh and wish she would not have done it in the first place if she had known this would happen.

Qin Yuan asked about the affairs as usual. This time no one dared to be perfunctory. Thanks to Mother Lu's teachings, they had sorted out the account books and old rules clearly and thoroughly early on.

I was afraid that I would be wrongly accused and end up in the same situation as Mother Lu.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Qin Yuan said, "You all go and do your work. Cuiming will take Mother Lu to the sewing room to make the delivery. Hongye will go to the tea room to monitor. If there is anything wrong, you can all come to me."

After saying that, he went into the house.

The rest of the people dispersed and went about their own business.

Mother Lu was hunched over, and all her energy seemed to have been drained out. She asked, "Miss Cuiming, is the Madam unwilling to let me go?"

Cui Ming tried to appease and pressure her, saying, "Mother Lu, why don't you sort out the past first? Madam has just arrived, and she has a lot of things to do as a new official. Mother Lu was caught up in the crossfire. I heard that Mother Lu's son is working for the Marquis, and the Marquis wants to use him. Mother Lu will not hurt her son's reputation for this, right?"
