Chapter 29 We have to find a way to make her change
Upon hearing this, Lord Gu immediately laughed and said, “Madam, what a joke you are telling. Yuan’er is a gentle person, how could she have a dispute with Seventh Sister and Sixth Sister-in-law?”

After hearing this, Rong Mama couldn’t help laughing and said quickly: “My Lord, you will understand after listening to the little girl. I am not here to complain.”

Lord Gu finally felt relieved. He put the food box on the table and opened it. It was a bowl of lotus seed soup. It seemed that what Rong Mama sent was fake. He needed to listen to what Qin Yuan said to find the truth.

He turned around, raised his chin to the little maid, narrowed his narrow eyes, and said, “Go on.”

Because the little maid had a good memory, she showed her face in front of her master today. After hearing the Marquis’s instructions, she became extra careful and not only repeated them word by word, but also imitated everyone’s tone.

After hearing this, Lord Gu’s expression disappeared, and he was in a very good mood and praised: “There is such a clever little girl in the upper room.”

Aunt Rong smiled and said, “If the Marquis is interested, just ask the old lady to come. There are still many unfilled positions in Wutong Garden. This girl has a good memory and is smart. She will definitely be useful in the future.”

The little maid blinked and looked at Lord Gu expectantly.

Gu Jinghui evaded the question: “I have never asked for a maid to serve me. I need to let Madam take a look. If she likes me, let her ask for me to stay by her side.”

Aunt Rong was quite surprised.

Gu Jinghui explained: “Madam makes the decisions about matters in the inner house, so it’s not easy for me to interfere.”

Don’t use the suspect, but don’t use it.

Qin Yuan has never made any mistakes in managing Wutong Garden, so it’s not easy for him to get involved.

Aunt Rong said, “Then the Marquis can ask Madam when he has time.”

Gu Jinghui asked: “Who is this little girl to Madam?”

“She is the daughter of the old Sun family, and was chosen from the manor.”

Gu Jinghui nodded, “Old Sun, I know, he is the most honest person, but he can raise such a smart child.”

He then asked the little maid, “What’s your name? How old are you? Have you ever been to school? Can you read?”

The little maid replied immediately and crisply: “My Lord, my name is Xiaohong. I am eight years old and have never been to school. Grandpa taught me to recognize about a hundred characters.”

It is enough for me to know so many words.

Gu Jinghui gave two instructions: “From now on, when Madam goes to the upper room, you should be smart, understand?”

“understood.”

Gu Jinghui glanced at Gu Shiliu.

Gu Shiliu quickly took out a piece of silver and handed it to the little maid, saying, “This is a reward from the Marquis.”

The little maidservant didn’t take it. She looked at Rong Mama first. When she saw Rong Mama nod, she accepted it. Then she kowtowed to Gu Jinghui neatly and said, “Thank you, my Lord, for the reward.”

“This is a good gift,” Gu Jinghui praised the little girl again, and then said to Rong Madam, “I understand what you mean, mother. Yuan’er is still young, so I’ll have to trouble you to take care of her and protect her in the future.”

Aunt Rong looked relieved.

Lord Gu’s words made it worth her trip.

Lord Gu added, “I will be going to the camp outside the city more often in the future, so I will have to trouble you to take care of the family affairs. You don’t need to do anything else, just keep an eye on her. If the servants in the mansion are disobedient, they will be more careful with you under your mother’s control.”

Madam Rong agreed to everything and took Xiaohong to kowtow to Qin Yuan. Unfortunately, Qin Yuan went to Songtao Pavilion to discuss matters with the Sixth Madam, so the matter was dropped.

Lord Gu put away his cheerful expression and asked Gu Shiliu with a dark face, “You said before that you found out that those rumors were spread from the mansion?”

Gu Shiliu nodded.

Gu Jinghui said angrily, “I said everything was fine in Saibei, how come the rumors spread like this after I came back? Madam Zhao also said that the customs in Saibei are open and there are few taboos between men and women, while the people in the capital are too particular, so this is the case. Now it seems that someone did this on purpose. Check it out, check it out and see who is spreading the rumors.”

If Qin Yuan hadn’t reminded him, he wouldn’t have known that his fence had already loosened.

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

Gu Jinghui glanced over with sharp eyes, “Is there anything else you haven’t said?”

“Master, have you forgotten? Didn’t you ask me to ask what Madam Zhao and Madam talked about on the wedding day?” Gu Jinghui paced around the room with his hands behind his back, and said, “I remember this, but I was always delayed by other things, so I didn’t ask you again.”

Gu Shiliu repeated what he had heard.

Gu Jinghui’s face became increasingly gloomy.

“No wonder, no wonder…”

Gu Jinghui murmured to himself, and finally sighed, saying: “But I have to do it for Cheng Ge’er and Yu Jie’er…”

Look at the Buddha’s face without looking at the monk’s face.

His deceased benefactor and his two children who were as close to him as father and sons, forced him to let Madam Zhao have whatever she wanted.

Since it involved his master’s household affairs, Gu Shiliu did not dare to say much. He could only stand there quietly and wait for the Marquis’s instructions.

After a long while, Gu Jinghui finally spoke with difficulty: “You must keep your mouth shut about what happened the night before yesterday. Do not let your wife hear about it, or else she will harbor resentment.”

Gu Shiliu is smart.

If the Marquis hadn’t reminded him, he wouldn’t have dared to tell anyone. After the Marquis reminded him again, he didn’t even dare to talk in his sleep at night.

Too……

The old lady was very angry when she heard this.

Forget about the lady.

Gu Shiliu also felt embarrassed for the Marquis.

“What should we do if Madam Zhao sends someone to look for the Marquis again?”

Gu Jinghui was stunned and asked in disbelief: “Can she order someone to look for her?”

Gu Shiliu said: “The bones are broken and the tendons are still pulled. If Cheng Ge’er and Yu Jie’er want to see the Marquis, will the Marquis go or not?”

The two children are so young, and their mother is always by their side. If the Marquis went there, how could he not meet Madam Zhao?

Gu Jinghui frowned in disgust.

“How can women’s affairs be more difficult than fighting a war?”

Gu Shiliu said, “My mother said that women’s affairs should be handled by women. Men don’t understand. It’s better to leave this matter to Madam.”

“Absolutely not.”

Gu Jinghui shook his head.

“When I get to the camp, I’ll discuss it with some military advisors.”

He doesn’t understand, but he can ask.

The generals around him had been married for many years and were very knowledgeable about the art of controlling their wives. Some of them had seven or eight concubines and their families were harmonious and harmonious.

Now is the opportunity for them to give full play to their strengths.

Gu Shiliu just felt it was unreliable.

Gu Jinghui had already put the matter aside and said, “Sixteen, you also heard how Madam defended me in front of others.”

Gu Shiliu nodded: “Madam is on the side of the Marquis, and won’t allow anyone else to say anything.”

“Yes, she seems to not care where I go, but actually she cares a lot about me,” Gu Jinghui couldn’t help but share with Gu Shiliu: “You haven’t started a family yet, you’ll understand when you do.”

Gu Shiliu: “…”

Gu Jinghui added, “Mother is still too soft-hearted towards Seventh Sister. What will happen to her in the future if she is like this? How can her parents-in-law and husband bear it? We have to think of a way to make her change her bad habits.”
