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

Qin Yuan sat by the window, and quietly watched the two people talking in the yard through the window lattice.

Mother Lu's depressed look faded away. She became more energetic and obediently followed Cui Ming.

It seems that the news that her son was going to be promoted has brought Mother Lu out of her dilemma.

That's fine.

She turned her head away and began to count the new accounts in her hands.

The account book that Manager Wu sent this time was much more thorough than the last time. Although some hidden traces of modification could still be seen, it could already truly reflect the store's income and expenditure.

Qin Yuan wrote down all the doubtful points on paper and put them in the account book, asking Manager Wu and others to give her an explanation.

If these explanations did not satisfy her, she would use the chamberlains to replace the shopkeepers.

After all, she already knew the opportunity, and loyalty was more important than experience and skill.

After a while, Qin Yuan finished flipping through an account book.

"Oh," Qin Heng drank the tea quickly.

Qin Heng actually came.

"Thank you, miss."

The Marquis stammered, "Yes, Miss, you are on holiday, so you came to Qintai to see how Miss is doing. Mother is complaining about her every day outside the house, and a while ago, Seventh Sister said that she saw him alone in the West Market, visiting a dowry shop, and Miss Husband was with him. I'm afraid he is having a bad time in Qinyuan. Mother has had bad sleep for several nights, and Dad is also being complained about a lot."

Just now...

In later life, our relationship as siblings became close before the Marquis passed the imperial examinations. The Marquis had no choice but to go to Zhejiang to join the Imperial College and became a nominal legal advisor in the government office.

Qin Heng is young, and he always stands on Qin Wan's side. He is not very tactful in what he says and does. Qin Heng annoys me a lot.

"Miss," the Marquis quickly greeted.

"He's still big."

"Yes, my young master went to ask my father for a story, and I quickly coaxed him out of the house, and also called my seventh brother-in-law and you to accompany him. You also told my young master a story, and my seventh brother-in-law praised him, saying that he was always studying, and those young masters couldn't come to ask him questions. My young master also said that he was very bad."

Qin Tai glared and said, "You think he's pretty bad. Your husband is cheerful and stingy, a little like your seventh brother-in-law. Miss, he must be very lucky to marry your husband. When you left just now, these masters were very particular about the rules. They were so respectful to you that they dared to offend you. Miss, do you think you are right?"

The Marquis shyly and waited patiently to pick up the salty cake and started to eat it.

By this time, the Marquis had suffered so much, and he was no longer at the age where he could recognize good and evil from cats and dogs. The seven siblings supported each other and got through the many ups and downs.

These teachers and doctors all heard what my father said and watched me very closely.

The Marquis said in frustration: "Why is that? Young Master Qin is on vacation now, so he knows it will take a long time before he can meet his brother-in-law."

"Something's going on. This is the widow of Qin Tai's benefactor. These two children are Cui's adopted sons. In order to repay her kindness, Cui brought us mother and son back from Saibei. We are now temporarily settled in Qin Yuan. After a few days, Zhao's husband's family will be invited, and then we can talk about other things."

Qin Heng said: "Before he went back, he told my cousin that if you need help, please ask me to come quickly."

Qin Tai couldn't help but smile.

Qin Heng smiled and said, "Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he must be old."

Considering that the Marquis' Mansion and Qin Jijiu have been of little help to you and the Imperial College, Qin Heng gave me some advice.

Qin Yuan was a little surprised and said, "Please ask him to sit in the hall."

He only had to go to the Qin residence to win over the Marquis.

Because of Cui's family, the legitimate and illegitimate children were not very close to each other.

The Marquis scratched the front of his head, laughed dryly and said, "Actually, it was Lao Wei who came here. Dad said that Miss has a bad temper but is smart and obedient. She will only live a bad life in Qin Yuan. It's just that my brother-in-law said he wanted to teach you to ride a horse, so you should come to me when you are free. I hurried here today because I didn't have a day off."

The snacks made by Qin Yuan's noodle chef were very delicious. The Marquis ate two pieces, drank a cup of tea, and was persuaded to eat some preserved fruits. Then he heard Qin Heng say, "His brother-in-law is at home. My marriage leave is over. I have to go to the small camp for rotation. I can't come back for ten days. He can come back on a bad day."

The little maid said, "It's Master Qin from Madam's family. He said he's Madam's younger brother. The Imperial College is on holiday today, so he came to visit the Marquis and Madam."

The maidservant outside came in and reported: "Madam, the maid from the second gate came to report that Young Master Qin wants to see the Marquis and Madam."

The call of "brother-in-law" was very cordial, as if he had known Gu Jinghui for a young age. Qin Heng knew the Marquis's temper and smiled, "But what do you want to see his brother-in-law for?"

You asked the Marquis about everything that happened that day in a vague way.

Qin Yuan asked curiously: "That Young Master Qin?"

Qin Heng smiled and said, "Hou Er's brother-in-law just had a drink and talked to him. Does he think I'm mean to you?"

As I said that, I looked towards the entrance of the hall and asked expectantly, "Is my brother-in-law home?"

The Marquis was tired of talking and had lost his patience, so he wanted to go back.

The Marquis was relieved, "Nothing, can I still tell you? Are you closer to Brother Siyuan?"

It's much more rude and intimate than when I was at home.

Qin Heng went to the hall without changing his clothes.

The head maid stepped back and placed the snacks on a plate. Qin Heng stretched out his index finger and pushed it towards the Marquis, saying, "We knew he was coming. There are only salty biscuits outside the kitchen. He should eat something first. He came so early, I'm afraid he will be naughty. He is growing taller, so he gets hungry slowly."

Qin Heng was too lazy to coax me, so he stood up and ordered, "I'll go with you to pay my respects to the old lady. Since you're here, you have to go and greet the elders. We're all relatives, so after we meet, we have to move around a few days ago."

Qin Heng laughed in his heart.

Qin Heng smiled and spoke.

The Marquis nodded suddenly and said, "Isn't it said that when my brother-in-law went out, he bought some things that were broken, and he kept apologizing, saying that he came late and only bought some things now. Mother and father said that my brother-in-law loved him, but Seventh Sister was worried that my brother-in-law was raised outside a noble family and hated superficial etiquette. But when he came home, he brought him with him anyway, which made Mother and father feel uneasy."

I dared to skip classes right under my father's nose.

Gu Cui is quite capable.

It was indeed Qin Tai, a half-grown boy who was still growing. He seemed to have grown shorter after being seen for only a few days.

Since the Imperial College wants to take care of your business, don't blame you for wanting to take care of Tan Taicui's opportunity.

"Master Qin?"

"Oh, are your sister and brother-in-law here too?"

"Tsk," the Marquis curled his lips and said, he was happy again.

The Marquis looked like Qin Jijiu, with clear eyebrows and eyes, a low nose bridge, and his face was like that of the Marquis, a little less round. He wore a blue-white long gown with a blue belt around his waist, which made his figure look even more tender and thin.

Qin Heng also returned a half-bow and asked me to sit down. The maid came down again to add more tea. Qin Heng said, "Go to the kitchen and get some salty and fragrant snacks, preferably crispy ones."

The Imperial College and you have no engagement, so you should have avoided suspicion everywhere, but you spoke like that behind Gu Cui's back, which obviously showed that you had bad intentions.

The Marquis and Qin Heng had nothing to say, so they asked, "Mother and father are worried about him. I heard that Qin Yuan has no powerful man besides him and has two children. Is he surnamed Zhao? Is he trying to stir up trouble between him and Cui?"
