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

Thinking back to what had happened in the past few days, Qin Yuan sighed.

Cui Ming quickly stopped and asked, "But did you pull my hair?"

"No," Qin Yuan said, "I just thought of a story."

"What story?" Cui Ming asked with a smile, "It's been a long time since I heard Miss tell a story."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "In ancient times, there was a king who doted on his minister. The minister handed a peach that he had bitten into to the king. The king said that the minister was very loyal and offered it to him whenever he ate a delicious peach."

Cui Ming exclaimed in surprise: "It is rare to see a king who favors his subjects like this."

Qin Yuan said: "That's right. Later, the king favored someone else and became disgusted with this minister. When he remembered this incident, he accused him of deceiving the king."

Cui Ming asked nervously, "What happened next?"

"The king killed him for treason."

Cui Ming was silent for a moment, then asked, "What are you worried about, Miss?"

Hongye asked, "Where is the suitcase?"

Qin Yuan came carrying a broken food box, and didn't seem to be struggling.

Gu Shiba said, "Madam, you are too modest. Shopkeeper Re sent a letter to the mansion yesterday, asking if the camphor and sandalwood pills that Madam prepared can be sold in Ranxiangju."

"A man's love doesn't last forever, whether it's for a woman or another man," Qin Yuan said, "some people still have feelings for each other after their love disappears, while others just turn against each other and are ruthless. You can't tell until the end."

Cui Ming understood a little bit in her heart that Qin Yuan was probably thinking about Lord Gu, so she said, "I think it has been the norm since ancient times for a woman to regard her husband as her God. Even an old lady like the old lady has also gone through old age. The Dingbei Marquis's Mansion is a respectable family. It's not that there are no concubines competing for favor, but they would do something like favoring a concubine over the wife."

Could it be that Lord Gu was worried that you had forgotten breakfast again, so he asked Gu Shiba to remind you?

Hongye stepped back, smiling, and said, "Madam, Sui Qiang has some spare clothes. I asked Eighteen to come get them."

Hongye smiled and said, "I obey your command."

The Marquis glanced at you and knew that you called her Madam for Gu Shiba to hear. He smiled and said, "How dare Shiba tell you? You have to find him to tell him."

Qin Yuan said it once, and she would bring it up again. She immediately changed the subject and said, "I will go and urge the kitchen to prepare the food boxes."

Gu Shiba stepped back, greeted the Marquis and asked how he was.

You were suspicious in your heart, but your hands stopped.

Gu Shiba was not shy and raised his voice, "Cui Ming wanted Madam to choose it herself, but you are saying something bad."

"I went to bed at seven o'clock."

Gu Shiba hurriedly took the food box, put Xiangfei's bamboo suitcase under his arm, and followed you.

Gu Shiba seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Seeing that Hongye had ruined her clothes, the Marquis said, "Give some of the incense you shared to Sui Qiang."

Hongye said, "Let him go with you. They are all outside the main room. You can get them to him. Besides, he will definitely find it outside for such a small matter. It's the same for you to find Hongmian."

Sui Qiang glanced at the two of us and smiled, "Cui Ming has had breakfast and I'm afraid she doesn't have anything else to do, let's go."

Sui Qiang was lighting the incense pills he had prepared in the house, intending to give some to Madam Gu Ba, when he heard Hong Ye and Gu Shiba coming to the corridor chattering, which was a bit strange.

Gu Shiba interrupted and asked, "What kind of fragrance did Madam choose?"

Qin Yuan knew that Cui Ming was smart, so she smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Gu Shiba in the room couldn't help laughing.

Sui Qiang walked to the kitchen and saw Hong Ye wandering around the door. He then quietly repeated the Marquis' words and said, "We have said everything we need to say. The eldest sister is cautious and prudent. In the past, we always mentioned that matter after the eldest sister to avoid upsetting the master. We are also spoiled and arrogant."

Think about how Lord Gu showed off in front of me the past two days: "He is getting married, he understands." "You are the only one in the madam's heart. She always puts you behind." "You are still the only one in the madam's heart."

Sui Qiang glared at you and said, “You’d better come and help.”

Gu Shiba said: "It's you too. That little thing is very important to you."

The Marquis asked, "What time did Cui Ming go to bed yesterday?"

"You were just looking at Xiang Fangzi and fiddling with it yourself."

Along the way, Qin Yuan was still taciturn, while Hongye and Gu Shiba talked a lot. As they talked, Gu Shiba talked about what he saw and heard when he went to Jizhou to look for the Pang family, and Sui Qiang just listened casually.

The Marquis carefully matched the inner clothes and accessories, asked Hongye to pack them, and then called Gu Shiba back to question him.

The Marquis laughed and said, "It's bad if no one appreciates it."

Hongye just looked at the Marquis and smiled, and didn't say anything.

"Match, match, match. Cui Ming has told you everything next time. Remember, I will use my helper."

"Oh?"

Before he could finish his words, Gu Shiba came over and said with a smile, "Cui Ming's change of clothes has arrived. I asked you to come and get them."

The two of them went to the main room, and Qin Yuan stayed behind to pack the food boxes.

Hongye smiled and said, "That's nothing bad. He just said that Madam holds Cuiming in her heart and respects and loves her. How could she agree to it?"

Gu Eighteen: “…”

There's some similarity.

Gu Shiba scratched his head and said, "I have heard Cui Ming complain before, so it should be OK."

Gu Shiba said, "I'll let you carry the lunch box later."

Gu Shiba said, "I'm afraid Sui Qiang will ask Madam about that matter today. Aunt Rong said that your fragrance is very bad, and you gave some to the old sisters. You used it and wanted more. It happened that the Marquis's Mansion was sealed, and Shopkeeper Re had already thought about it before he knew about it."

The Marquis raised his eyebrows.

Hongye nodded, thought for a while and said: "You guessed why my elder sister is like this. Zhao is a bad apple, which makes my elder sister feel uncomfortable. It is inevitable that my elder sister will think less about it. Cuiming is also a..."

The Marquis nodded and asked again.

The Marquis said, "It is a soothing scent. The smell is very subtle. It can soothe the mind during the day and help you sleep at night."

"Okay, let him go."

The Marquis's face immediately turned red, and he spat, "What respect and love? He is just being mean."

"Did you sleep well?"

Hongye asked, "Is this lady worthy?"

"The Eighth Madam is not a ready-made example. Instead, the concubines who are favored now have given birth to sons and daughters. They knew how hard life was when they fell out of favor in the past, such as Aunt Zheng."

Cui Ming combed her hair in silence, put a hairpin in it, and looked at her for a moment before saying, "Young lady has always been cautious in doing things. This minister took advantage of his favor and became arrogant, which led to this disaster."

"That fragrance is not strange at all."

Sui Qiang smiled, stood up and said: "He and Hongye are not slow, that matter needs to be slow. It's fate for a man and a woman, if they can come, they will come naturally."

We had dinner together yesterday, and you shouldn't ask about Lord Gu's other affairs.

Hongye said with a smile, "Cui Ming wanted Madam to personally prepare clothes for me. Eighteen knew what to say, so she asked me to tell her. I said Madam put Sui Qiang aside and respected him, so how could she agree to it?"
