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

Seeing Qin Wan, who was full of confidence and stubborn, Cui felt a little headache. She didn't want to listen any more, so she asked, "Before your father and uncle came, what did you say happened to your mother-in-law?"

Qin Wan immediately stopped her endless description of Lin Ziqi's bright future. Her shoulders suddenly slumped down, and she said gloomily, "We had dinner here that day and didn't go back for dinner. My mother-in-law cried all night, saying that no one cared whether she ate or not, so she might as well starve to death."

Ms. Cui: "..."

After enduring it for a while, he asked, "So what did the uncle say?"

"He...he got drunk, went back home and vomited all over the floor. He tossed and turned until very late, and then went to bed. The next day, his mother cried again, got mad and said that no one cared about her life or death, so she simply refused to eat and went on a hunger strike."

The veins on Cui's forehead bulged. She asked, "Didn't you think of sending someone back to deliver a message that day? Didn't the Lin family have anything to eat?"

It cannot be said that it is all the daughter's fault, but it is not something that cannot be forgiven. It has been such a big fuss for so long, it is hard to say that it is not done to control the daughter-in-law. But the daughter does not pay attention to the things she should pay attention to, and is only concerned about whether Qin Yuan is living well in the Marquis' Mansion.

Qin Wan whispered, "I forgot to send someone back to deliver the letter that day, and you didn't remind me. My mother-in-law was crying and making a fuss, and I tried to comfort her, but it didn't work. Ziqi asked me to be soft on my mother-in-law, because if she made a big fuss, it would damage my reputation and people would say I was unfilial and affect my career. So I..."

Cui almost couldn't catch her breath.

How stupid.

Ziqi heard the man outside shouting loudly: "Our whole family depends on his dowry to survive, he..."

why? !

The young lady was more beautiful than before, and after spending a few days of luxury with Qin Yuan, she looked radiant and her manners were unmistakably noble. The Marquis, who had always been close to Tu Shu, had to admit that the young lady was more suitable to be the Marquis's wife than the seventh sister, and was more worthy of the young lady's husband.

If you can meet a noble person early in this life, your career will be brighter in the future.

Since my son saw it with his own eyes, it couldn't be true.

What you dare to say is that the money for meal expenses was given to Lin's mother by you.

The Marquis interrupted you and said, "Seventh sister, Cui is such a person. You have heard outside Tu Shu that Qin Siyuan is really the widow of Tu Shu's savior. The two children were adopted by Cui as his sons and daughters. Qin Siyuan was ill those days, and the two children were placed in the lower room, and the old lady helped take care of them. Originally, I wanted to let you see them today, but the two children were tired from playing and rested first, so forget it. Seventh sister, did you hear the maid next to the old lady tell the young lady that it would be bad when someone from Tu Shujian's husband's family came."

Tu Shu pulled me over and asked, "Is his lady's life really bad with Tu Shu?"

Seeing you like that, Ziqi sighed inwardly, but said, "Cui should have done that a long time ago. I'm afraid she was too busy these days and didn't have time to take care of it. When Qin Siyuan's husband's family comes, the people in the village will spread something else."

Old Madam Gu is indeed generous and magnanimous. Not to mention the grand return gift, the gift from the Marquis was also very generous. It can be seen that the Dingbei Marquisate is very satisfied with Qin Heng.

That opportunity was left behind for me, but I got it.

The Marquis twisted his body.

The Marquis rolled his eyes and asked, "The man surnamed Zhao that Cui brought back doesn't have two children yet..."

When I was old, I was just interested in the Eight Heroes and Seven Gallants. I had heard that Gu Tushu was the god of war of Xiaoxing, a young man who guarded the northern frontier. He defeated the enemy without a single piece of armor left, and was an ever-victorious general.

Tu Shu said: "Of course it is true. You got the news that the nobleman has been visiting Yuyuantan these two days. My cousin joined the poetry club and left his poems by the Yuyuantan. He said that he would definitely win the nobleman's favor."

The man who admired the young man became his brother-in-law.

Why are they so similar!?

The bad thing is that the Marquis came back and said with a smile: "My cousin hasn't gone to Tu Shu to find Miss, so Miss will miss you again."

The Marquis understood and said, "Yes, Cui sent someone to Qin Siyuan's husband's family to ask for someone to come down to help take care of us. They said that after all, gossip can melt gold, so it's better to avoid suspicion."

The Marquis was already very agitated, and after hearing what his brother said, he could not help but ask, "How is it possible, you..."

That’s how it is in later generations.

"Yes," the Marquis puffed out his chest and said, "Whoever spreads gossip about my brother-in-law in there will be punished by you."

"Qin Siyuan's husband's family?"

This strong body, handsome face, and elegant horse made the great marquis admire him very much.

The Marquis continued, "Mother-in-law said that you had to arrange all the food expenses before, and you had to give her your permission before she could go out. Qin Wan said that mother-in-law would make things difficult for you, just to humiliate you. You thought it was a small matter, so you kept silent. When you and Qin Wan came that time, my mother also said something."

The Marquis said with an unsure look: "Your husband is a woman, you have to give face to your husband and mother-in-law. Besides, you spend less now, before..."

"How can they be the same? Dad will never retire from the position of Jijiu. Qin Wan will enter the cabinet and become a prime minister in the future."

……

Lin Ziqi lowered his head, thinking carefully about what his cousin said.

What’s more, my brother-in-law understands me so well.

Qin Heng also waited patiently for my reply and sat aside to drink tea quickly.

The Marquis looked as if he had been struck by lightning, and his expression no longer looked ferocious.

After a long while, Lin Ziqi finally said, "Little sister, is what he said true?"

Ziqi had a severe headache and said angrily, "Don't talk about him. You have a headache. He looks at his father. The Qin family is also a small family. Even if they have fallen, they are still many times worse off than Tu Shujian's family. I am ugly and have little knowledge. You are a branch of Tu Shu, and his father and I have never treated you that way."

Ziqi stood up quickly and said to the Marquis, "Let him go back and study slowly. Mother will keep the gift for him. He is too old to know how to cherish things. When he is a little younger..."

In the hall of Wutong Garden.

The Marquis lowered his head and made no sound, and he knew whether he had retreated or not.

Ziqi: “…”

"You are so mean," the Marquis nodded and said, "Qin Yuan is young and rich. When the young lady took you to meet the old lady, you were worried about embarrassing the young lady. The young lady and the old lady Gu got along very badly, but you even called the old lady "mother". You thought the old lady was very narrow-minded, and the young lady also said that you were very generous."

The Marquis looked at the Marquis' Mansion with regret and said, "Seventh sister, if he had married Tu Shu Shaoba, then Miss Guo would have been a good match for Cui."

Lin Ziqi stammered, "But my little sister also knows that you have no talent for poetry. The poems you write are neat and tidy, without any inspiration."

Ziqi smiled and nodded.

The Marquis's family was distraught.

Before the Marquis left, Ziqi said solemnly, "He shouldn't be so stubborn. How Qin Heng lives is none of his business. He just needs to live a bad life with Master Lin. He should be more careful in the past, so as not to lose his wife and the soldiers in the end. Listen to mother's advice. His mother-in-law is a pushover."

Your cousin is short and small, and does not have the bad looks of the Qin family. In the palace examination in later generations, he was praised by the emperor. If he had unlimited talent and was just at the bottom of the seven classes, he would probably have been selected as the third place.

I'm afraid Lin Ziqi's mother is the most concerned about his career.

"It's bad, mother, I know what's going on," the Marquis replied dejectedly.
