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

Chapter 90: Nothing Can Be Done
Seeing that she was absent-minded, Hongye did not say much. When she had some time, she whispered to Cuiming, "Could it be that the young lady is thinking about the Marquis?"

Cui Ming was also very busy today and was upset by the things in the sewing room. Hearing this, she said, "You know about it again. Hurry up and help the young lady with the accounts."

"That's right..." Hongye couldn't help but frowned, and her voice became louder: "These shopkeepers are so slippery. Last time, the young lady caught them in the act, and I thought they had behaved themselves. I didn't expect them to do anything. It's just like the old saying, you won't give up until you get rid of it. It will be too late to regret it when you are replaced."

Qin Yuan came to his senses after hearing her words and said, "I saw that there were some honest people, and some were still hoping for the best."

"That's right, just like that Lu Mama," Cui Ming said with disdain, "Yesterday, although she was scared, she still pulled me aside to say that her family's situation was special, hoping that the young lady was just scaring her and that there would be some turnaround for the sake of her family's dignity. Today, when she heard that the young lady wanted to find someone to replace her, she showed her desperate spirit again. Fortunately, I told her what the young lady suggested, and she temporarily calmed down and followed me to do things, and didn't do anything else. People feel pity and hate when they see it. If I had known this would happen, I would not have done it in the first place."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "You did a great job today. These days, you can take her and the new woman to work together. It's good for them not to get along with each other, so that you can sort out the accounts of the needlework room. You must know that if you know one thing, you know everything. Then you will have a foundation for managing other things."

Cui Ming nodded and took note of it.

Hongye looked at him with envy and asked, "When will the tea room start?"

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Wait a few days. I'm busy. If I push you too hard, even a rabbit will bite you."

The Marquis' Mansion has been here for so many years, can't they wait for these few days? They have to put the trousseau shop and stock up on pepper first. If Mother Lu hadn't stepped forward herself, she wouldn't have done it.

It would be enough if I could intimidate these mothers who are in charge.

When Madam Gu Liu learned that Cui Ming had suppressed Madam Lu and selected a new madam to be Madam Lu's assistant, and that the two of them were in charge of the sewing room together, she was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. She asked Madam Zhao, "Why is she so honest?"

Logically, shouldn’t Mother Lu make a big fuss?
If Mother Lu hadn't been a troublemaker and a leader, she wouldn't have had to wait so many years before she was able to take charge of the sewing room.

Aunt Zhao was also confused and said, "Based on her temper, she will probably make a big fuss. Could it be that she wants to wait and see?"

Madam Gu Liu looked strange. "I worked with the old lady in charge of things back then, and it took me a year to dare to deal with these housekeepers. The new sister-in-law is so good, she made such a big fuss right after she came in."

The way she behaves doesn't seem at all like a concubine's daughter from a minor official's family.

Is it because the old lady is backing her up?

Mrs. Gu Liu is a thoughtful person to begin with, so she can't help but think too much.

Madam Zhao smiled and tried to comfort her, saying, "Madam, have you forgotten that she has the Marquis behind her to protect her, so it's inevitable that she can't stand being angry. Madam Lu is a person who can't stand things and wants to save face, so it's estimated that she will explode soon after she can't stand it. If she is eager to do good and offends the other housekeepers, what is Madam worried about?"

Madam Gu Liu nodded, then shook her head and said, "How can I not worry? She wants to buy pepper, and the price of pepper in the market has gone up. Those shopkeepers haven't found a suitable source of pepper yet. I'm really worried that she won't buy it, but I'm also worried that she will buy it."

What if her dream was true?

Madam Gu Liu was a little unsure.

No matter how she teased this young sister-in-law, it was of no use.

And up to now, Qin Yuan has never suffered any loss.

She herself was arranged by the Marquis.

Gu Baozhu had a willful temper, and it took a lot of effort just to coax her into spinning the needle.

After waiting for so long, what did you embroider?!
Not as good as her little daughter who just learned embroidery. Mrs. Gu Liu was in charge of the household, and she had to deal with her children, Mr. Gu Liu, and coax Gu Baozhu. She was so tired that she didn't want to talk.

Why is it so bad every day?

She didn't dare to cause trouble again. If the Marquis was just saying that out of anger that day, it would be fine. But if he really did something to Sixth Master Gu, who knows how Sixth Master Gu would make trouble for her and ask her to spend money again.

Mrs. Gu Liu didn't expect that even though she didn't bother Qin Yuan anymore, Qin Yuan would come looking for her.

The next morning, Qin Yuan met her in the upper room and asked her, "Sixth sister-in-law, last time you said you would help me find Huo Jiao, but did you find it?"

Madam Gu Liu laughed dryly and said, "I did ask, but..."

"Just what?" Old Madam Gu came out with Qiuju in her arms and immediately interrupted.

"Mother is here."

Mrs. Gu Liu hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Qin Yuan also bowed, stepped forward to support her, and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm asking about my sixth brother's wife's pepper. Didn't she also give a share? She also said she would help me ask. The owner of my dowry shop has never done any big business. They heard that many people have been asking about the price of pepper recently, so they raised the price by five taels of silver per catty. This thing is rarely used, and I don't know who is buying it. The price has gone up, so I thought I could ask my sixth brother's wife what I can find out."

Madam Gu raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked Qin Yuan, "Is your dream so accurate?"

Rong Mama came in with Xiao Hong and the two children and continued, "Madam's dream is too accurate. It is a lucky dream. Madam is blessed."

Madam Gu Liu, who was standing nearby, turned pale. This was exactly what she was afraid of.

If Qin Yuan's auspicious dream comes true, wouldn't she be even more loved by Old Madam Gu and the Marquis? I'm afraid she won't be able to stay in the Marquis's mansion anymore.

This is how to do?
Even though Madam Gu Liu came quickly and was smart and resourceful, there was nothing she could do.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "It's still unknown whether this dream is accurate or not, but the price of pepper has been raised now. If I buy more, won't it be even higher? If those wealthy businessmen really found pepper overseas and shipped it back as Manager Leng said, it would be a big loss."

Upon hearing this, Madam Gu immediately nodded and said, "You are right. This is the principle when doing things. You can't just see the good and ignore the bad. You need to think more about everything so that you don't make mistakes."

He is so steady at such a young age.

The more Mrs. Gu looked at her daughter-in-law, the more she liked her.

Madam Gu Liu then said, "Just as Third Sister-in-law said, the shopkeeper here also asked for this price. I don't know why, but the price of pepper has been raised recently. I wanted to find a good product at a low price for Third Sister-in-law, but..."

Qin Yuan sighed and said, "Should we wait and see? If the price is higher, it will be hard to say whether the housekeepers are willing to buy it. I can't make the decision on my own. When I collected the money, I gave an approximate price of fifty taels of silver per catty."

Mrs. Gu Liu's heart was moved.

She didn't know what she was thinking, so she said, "If you want to take it slow, then take it slow. I'll send people to ask around. If there's any news, I'll tell Third Sister-in-law right away. I don't know what Gu Shiqi is going to say."
