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

Chapter 88 Not a fuel-efficient lamp
Seeing Qin Wan, who was full of confidence and stubborn, Cui felt a little headache. She didn't want to listen any more, so she asked, "Before your father and uncle came, what did you say happened to your mother-in-law?"

Qin Wan immediately stopped her endless description of Lin Ziqi's bright future. Her shoulders suddenly slumped down, and she said gloomily, "We had dinner here that day and didn't go back for dinner. My mother-in-law cried all night, saying that no one cared whether she ate or not, so she might as well starve to death."

Ms. Cui: "..."

After enduring it for a while, he asked, "So what did the uncle say?"

"He...he got drunk, went back home and vomited all over the floor. He tossed and turned until very late, and then went to bed. The next day, his mother cried again, got mad and said that no one cared about her life or death, so she simply refused to eat and went on a hunger strike."

The veins on Cui's forehead bulged. She asked, "Didn't you think of sending someone back to deliver a message that day? Didn't the Lin family have anything to eat?"

It cannot be said that it is all the daughter's fault, but it is not something that cannot be forgiven. It has been such a big fuss for so long, it is hard to say that it is not done to control the daughter-in-law. But the daughter does not pay attention to the things she should pay attention to, and is only concerned about whether Qin Yuan is living well in the Marquis' Mansion.

Qin Wan whispered, "I forgot to send someone back to deliver the letter that day, and you didn't remind me. My mother-in-law was crying and making a fuss, and I tried to comfort her, but it didn't work. Ziqi asked me to be soft on my mother-in-law, because if she made a big fuss, it would damage my reputation and people would say I was unfilial and affect my career. So I..."

Cui almost couldn't catch her breath.

How stupid.

I'm afraid Lin Ziqi's mother is most concerned about his career.

Qin Wan continued, "Mother-in-law said that she would be in charge of all the food and expenses from now on, and we would need her permission to go out. Ziqi said that mother-in-law would not make things difficult for us, but just wanted to be respected. I thought it was not a big deal, so I kept silent. This time when Ziqi and I came, his mother did not say anything."

What she didn't dare say was that the money for the meals was all given to Lin's mother by her.

When Cui heard this, she shouted in a low voice: "Their whole family depends on your dowry to survive, you..."

Qin Wan, however, said confidently, "My husband is a man, I have to give face to my husband and mother-in-law. Besides, I spend a lot now, and in the future..."

Cui had a severe headache and said angrily, "Don't say anything. I have a headache. Look at your father. The Qin family was a big family before, but it declined later. However, it is still many times better off than Lin Ziqi's family. He is good-looking and well-educated. I am a branch of the Cui family, but your father never treated me like this."

Qin Wan twisted her body.

"How can they be the same? At best, Dad will retire as a priest, but Ziqi will become a prime minister in the future."

Ms. Cui: "..."

Fortunately, Qin Heng came back and said with a smile: "My cousin has gone to the Marquis's Mansion to find my elder sister. I hope my elder sister won't nag me anymore."

Cui pulled him over and asked, "Is your elder sister's life really good in the Marquis' Mansion?"

"That's great," Qin Heng nodded, and said, "The Marquis's Mansion is large and rich. When my elder sister took me to meet the old lady, I was worried that I would embarrass her. My elder sister gets along very well with the old lady Gu. She even calls the old lady "mother". I think the old lady has a very kind temperament, and my elder sister also said that she is very generous and magnanimous."

Cui smiled and nodded.

Since my son saw it with his own eyes, it can't be fake.

Old Madam Gu was indeed generous and magnanimous. Not to mention the grand return gift, Qin Heng's meeting gift was also so generous. It can be seen that Dingbei Marquis' Mansion is extremely satisfied with Qin Yuan.

Qin Wan rolled her eyes and asked, "The woman surnamed Zhao that the Marquis brought back, and the two children..."

Qin Heng interrupted her and said, "Second sister, the Marquis is not that kind of person. I heard everything in the Marquis's mansion. That Lady Zhao is really the widow of the Marquis's savior. The two children are adopted by the Marquis as his adopted sons and daughters. Lady Zhao has been ill these days, and the two children are placed in the upper room, with the old lady helping to take care of them. They were supposed to let us see them today, but the two children were tired from playing and rested first, so forget it. Second sister, I heard the maid next to the old lady tell my eldest sister that it would be fine when someone from Lady Zhao's husband's family comes."

"Mrs. Zhao's husband's family?"

Qin Wan looked as if she had been struck by lightning, and her expression became somewhat ferocious.

Qin Heng said puzzledly: "Yes, the Marquis sent people to Zhao Niangzi's husband's family to ask for someone to come up to help take care of them. He said that after all, gossip can melt gold, so it is better to avoid suspicion."

Qin Wan was distraught. It wasn't like this in her previous life.

why? !

Why is it so different!?

Seeing her like this, Cui secretly sighed in her heart, but said, "My Lord should have done this a long time ago. I'm afraid you were too busy these days and didn't take care of it. When the people from Zhao's husband's family come, outsiders will stop spreading any more rumors."

"Yes," Qin Heng puffed out his chest and said, "Whoever spreads gossip about my brother-in-law is making things difficult for me."

At his age, he is just interested in the Three Heroes and Five Gallants. He has heard that Lord Gu is the God of War of Daxing, who has guarded the northern frontier for many years and defeated the enemy without leaving a single piece of armor. He is an undefeated general.

The person I had admired for many years became my brother-in-law.

The strong body, handsome face, and elegant demeanor of the horse made the little Qin Heng admire him deeply.

What's more, his brother-in-law understands him so well.

Qin Heng looked at Qin Wan with regret and said, "Second sister, it would have been great if you had married the Marquis. But, eldest sister is also a good match for the Marquis."

The eldest sister was much more beautiful than before, and after spending a few days of luxury in the Marquis' Mansion, she looked radiant, and there was an indescribable dignity in her demeanor. Qin Heng, who had always been close to Qin Wan, had to admit that the eldest sister was more suitable to be the Marquis's wife than the second sister, and was more worthy of being the eldest brother-in-law.

Qin Wan was already very agitated, and after hearing what her brother said, she couldn't help but ask, "How is it possible, she..."

Cui got up quickly and said to Qin Heng, "Go back and study hard. I'll keep this gift for you. You are too young to cherish good things. Wait until you grow up..."

"Okay, Mom, I understand," Qin Heng replied dejectedly.

After Qin Heng left, Cui said solemnly, "Don't be so stubborn. It's none of your business what Qin Yuan lives like. Just live a good life with Master Lin. Be more careful in the future. Don't lose your wife and the army in the end. Listen to my advice. Your mother-in-law is not an easy person to deal with."

Qin Wan lowered her head and said nothing, and it was unknown whether she heard it or not.

……

In the hall of Wutong Garden.

Qin Siyuan lowered his head, thinking carefully about what his cousin said.

Qin Yuan was not in a hurry to wait for his reply. She sat aside and drank her tea slowly.

After a long while, Qin Siyuan finally said, "Big sister, are you telling the truth?"

Qin Yuan said, "Of course it's true. I got the news that a nobleman was visiting Yuyuantan during those two days. My cousin joined the poetry club and left some beautiful poems by the Yuyuantan. Maybe he would be favored by the nobleman."

Her cousin was tall and had the good looks of a Qin family member. In his previous life, during the palace examination, he was singled out for praise by the emperor. If it weren't for his limited talent and barely ranking at the bottom of the second class, he would probably have been selected as the third place.

If you can establish a good relationship with a noble person early in this life, your future career will be brighter.

Qin Siyuan stammered, "But you know, elder sister, I have no talent for poetry. The poems I write are neat but lack any spirit."

The opportunity was right in front of him, but he couldn't get it.
