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

Qin Yuan did not respond immediately, but just chewed the pickled cucumber slowly, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Gu Jinghui said: “If it’s difficult, forget it. I’ll think of another way.”

He also knew that Qin Yuan was cautious, otherwise Qin Yuan would not have declined the pepper business that Gu Liuye mentioned last time. When he asked, he did not hold too much of the King of Qi.

Hearing this, Qin Yuan glanced at Gu Jinghui and asked curiously, "What do you think of?"

I just asked someone to speak for me and send it to the Imperial College.

Her father was the highest-ranking official in the Imperial College. He had been serving as an acting official for several years, and his rank had not been promoted. But everyone knew that after the next assessment by the Ministry of Personnel, her father would have the full-time position and his official rank would be the fifth rank.

Maybe I will live my whole life in this noble position until I grow old.

However, although his father was a poor official in Beijing, he was able to accumulate reputation among the upright people and pave the way for the descendants of the Qin family.

In his previous life, Lin Ziqi was able to ascend to the position of prime minister. Her planning certainly played a big role, but her father’s disciples all over the world also provided a lot of help.

Everyone in the Qin family was extremely cautious at this juncture.

It would be better to use my human connection and ability on that, or wait until Gu Jinghui grows up and plot a bad future for me.

"That's a big deal. Mother and Zhu Xiuxin can discuss it," the Marquis added immediately when he saw me frowning. Seeing Marquis Gu's frown relax, he said, "Eighteen went to look for the Pang family. It won't take a few days for them to come back. We can discuss how to arrange for them when the Pang family arrives. If Cheng Ge'er is willing to stay in the capital, then you can make some plans."

Lord Gu then gave a bitter smile.

I did as the Marquis said, I wanted to make up for the worst to the two children of the Pang family, but if that intention had no bad consequences in the beginning, it would still be the same.

Qin Yuan thought that her father might not agree to this.

What am I thinking about?

The two looked at each other, wondering what was going on.

Lord Gu picked up some pickled cucumber shreds from the ground and put them into his mouth. His pair of deep, white eyes blinked and stared at Lord Gu's big mouth, to see what he could say.

"You see, Brother Cheng is overly doting on those two kids. They are only seven years old now, so they can still be corrected. If they continue to indulge each other, when they grow up, it will be useless to reprimand us before we blame them."

Zhu Xiuxin and others will definitely follow the path drawn by the Imperial College. By then, Zhu Xiuxin will be in charge of everything. No matter what trouble they cause, you will be too lazy to care about it. It is better to say it later.

It would be bad if the Marquis was willing to teach Madam Zhao.

I cleared my throat and said, "In that case, when the Pang family arrives, if Cheng Ge'er stays in the capital, you can find a bad teacher to teach the two children, and it will help save them from bad behavior."

Lord Gu frowned.

Lord Gu put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "He is right. You should go back to the small camp."

Zhu Xiuxin was stunned.

Lord Gu’s face was burning.

Gu Jinghui said, “Let’s see if we can ask the Ministry of Personnel to think of a way to ask for a favor and approve Cheng Ge’er’s admission.”

That was very real and specific.

From then on, I thought nothing of sending the child to school and hiring a nanny for Madam Zhao.

I can't help but think of the story of Qing Feng exterminating Cui Zhu's entire clan.

What this means is that Lord Gu and Brother Cheng are both competent.

"Those who can enter Rong Mama's University through the help of the patron saint must have a father whose rank after birth is below the seventh rank. Your dynasty has very generous rewards for military merit. Before Gu Jinghui entered Rong Mama's University, the older children around him were probably of lower status than me. I have never been educated, so my grades are also lower than others. You heard Yu Jie'er say a while ago that the Eighth Master complained several times, saying that his two children were often bullied by Gu Jinghui and cried. It can be seen that Zhu Xiuxin has a tough temper, just like the little children in the capital. The older children are calm, but I am afraid that Zhu Xiuxin will be willing to drop out of school after entering. What will your husband do then? Beating and scolding are what the foster father should do, and does Zhu Xiuxin think the same as him?"

Having said this, Lord Gu inexplicably no longer felt worried.

This is a request for special grace to be granted admission to the Imperial Academy. When the military merit was determined at the beginning, Lord Gu was unable to promote his brother Pang by a few more levels. It is obvious that the Ministry of Personnel is extremely strict in determining military merit.

Zhu Xiuxin praised the Marquis behind my back, saying that you are stupid but sensible. It was the Marquis's idea to let Dahong get close to the two children and to advise us on our words and deeds, but it was Yujie who taught Dahong, and the Marquis did not interfere at all.

Lord Gu said "hmm".

but……

Cuiming and Hongye saw Zhu Xiuxin's gloomy face from the inner room. She lifted the curtain and walked out in small steps.

Zhu Xiu nodded and said, "That's just the general plan. The guidance of playmates is only one of the key points. The most important thing is the teaching by parents."

"I call you husband, and I also call you Qin Yuan."

But that is the Imperial College's own plan. The Marquis wants to keep quiet, lest I think you are having an affair with the two children from the Pang family and stop you everywhere.

Is it more difficult to ask for special favors now?

The Marquis smiled and said, "You said that your husband must feel bad. If your husband asks, you should tell him. You should always keep it a secret. Your husband is bad for the Pang family's children, which means that he always puts us in a situation that we should not have, and has us have thoughts that we should not have. We have become accustomed to it, and think that it is not what we deserve, which has distorted our hearts. Your husband is bad for us, but he is actually harming us."

The Marquis nodded and said, "Qin Yuan's move is indeed appropriate."

Zhu Xiu continued, "My husband wanted to give the worst to Zhu Xiuxin because he received the kindness from the Pang family. However, Gu Jinghui's father's rank is high enough. If I marry Zhu Xiuxin, I'm afraid it will be bad for me. Why is it bad? He will be patient and listen to you in detail."

I want to see Zhu Xiuxin again. Worst case scenario, I'll never see her again.

When the Marquis said that, I thought, she is my own child after all, and I can do whatever I want with her. But how can a mother like Cheng Ge'er raise Zhu Xiuxin to be?

After saying this, he waited for Zhu Xiu's reply, then hurriedly got up, called the servant in a low voice, and walked out of the yard.

Even her cousin Qin Siyuan was admitted to the Imperial College as a juren.

The Marquis readily agreed and said, "My husband, this is a good move. Gu Jinghui's future will be decided by Cheng Ge'er. Besides, we have to ask whether the child will study literature or martial arts in the future. If he studies martial arts, he should start practicing early. If he studies literature, he can just leave Rong Mama behind."

Qin Yuan did not comment.

Lord Gu's back was covered with sweat, and he said in a hoarse voice: "According to him, what is the worst thing to do?"

Girls can also live with their husbands, be closer to their mothers, and be more influenced by them.

If Cheng Ge'er comes to me crying and begging me to take care of Gu Jinghui again, I'm afraid we'll be entangled with him for the rest of our lives.

But Lord Gu insisted on asking you, "Does he think that's okay?"

Lord Gu said, "Isn't that why he asked Dahong to get acquainted with us and talk to us?"

"……That……"

The Marquis said: "My husband has done his best. You have read some of the Book of Changes with your father. Although you are not proficient in it, you also understand that people exist in the world without destiny. Even if my husband arranges everything, he still dominates our fate. Just like no one can arrange Qin Yuan's future."
