The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

Su Qing was a little flustered. What could she do at this time? It seemed that she could not help at all. If she knew martial arts, she would rush into the palace immediately. Why should her man sacrifice himself for the brothers to fight for the throne?

While Su Qing was pacing in the house, Ru Hu came back.

"Auntie, I have something to report."

"Come in and talk."

Ru Hu pushed open the door and walked in. "My aunt found out that the Marquis is with Prince Pingnan."

"anything else?"

"I haven't heard anything about Ruyi yet!"

"Okay, go down first and tell me if there is any progress."

"Yes."

"Ask Rumei to come in."

"Auntie, did you ask me to come here for anything?"

"How many secret guards are there in the mansion now?"

"Nine."

"Okay, call them all, including Ruxue."

"Yes."

In less than a cup of tea, eight people, Ruxue, Rumei, Rulei, Ruyu, Ruhu, Lengze, Xiaochen, and Xiaoyu, stood in front of Su Qing.

"Aren't there nine of us? Why are there only eight of you?"

"Replying to Auntie, Ruyi is still trying to find out the news."

"Oh, look at my brain, I forgot about this. Let me ask you, did the Marquis say anything to you before he left? Or did he give you any instructions?"

Xiao Chen took a step forward and said, "My aunt, before the Marquis left, he told us that everything must be arranged by you."

"Okay. Then we have to be extra careful tonight. Xiao Chen, Xiao Yu, Ru Hu, Leng Ze, the four of you will guard the four gates of the outer courtyard respectively. Ru Lei Ru Yu, you will guard outside the hospital, Ru Xue Ru Mei, you will guard the old marquis, the old lady and Jiang Nian. I will go and bring them over here. Everyone gather together. Xiao Chen, the four of you, bring the servants and guards to guard the door. Don't open the door for anyone except the marquis. Do you understand?"

"I understand. May I ask what other arrangements Auntie has made?"

"Does the Marquis have any secret guards around him?"

"My aunt, Rufeng, Xiao Mo, Xiao Bei, Mo Li, and Mo Xuan are all by the Marquis' side."

"That's good. Go ahead, get ready to go down, and be sure to keep an eye on the door. By the way, if Ruyi comes back, tell him to come directly to me."

"Yes."

"Everyone, go down!" Su Qing said as she walked out. She wanted to inform the old marquis and the others, as she was afraid that the servants wouldn't be able to explain clearly. The marquis was not around, so she had to protect her family and not let them get hurt.

When Su Qing arrived at the old lady's yard, she was called to the study by the old marquis.

"Yun Jing hasn't come back yet?"

"Replying to the old marquis, he has not returned."

"Has anyone sent any news?"

"Never."

"I'm afraid something has happened to Yun Jing."

"Don't worry, old Marquis. Nothing will happen to the Marquis. I asked Ruhu and Ruyi to go to the palace to investigate. Ruhu came back and said that the Marquis was with Prince Pingnan. I think he will be fine."

"Any other news?"

"Ruyi hasn't come back yet, and there's no other news for now."

"I'm afraid it won't be peaceful tonight!"

"Don't worry, old Marquis. Please move to Yilan Courtyard with the old Marquis and the old lady. I have ordered people to guard the four gates of the outer courtyard. No one can be allowed in except the Marquis. There are also people guarding outside the main courtyard. We just need to sit and wait for death. If someone breaks in, we will close the door and catch the thief."

"Well, otherwise Yun Jing would have to marry you as his principal wife. I didn't know you had such a plan. Now that you have made all the arrangements, let's go to Yilan Courtyard!"
