Chapter 43 The Marquis is Angry Again

After Master Gu Liu left, the room fell silent instantly. Qin Yuan coughed twice and said, “Sixth brother is so enthusiastic, but I don’t need him. What a pity.”

Gu Jinghui stood up, his face gloomy, and cold air sizzled all over his body.

Qin Yuan then noticed his abnormality and hurriedly stood up and asked, “Husband, are you going back to rest?”

“Yeah,” Gu Jinghui responded, and without waiting for her, he walked away quickly.

Qin Yuan stood there and stared at his back: “…”

It’s really baffling.

Hongye asked, “Miss, the Marquis was angry just now?”

Cui Ming also frowned worriedly.

Qin Yuan frowned and thought, she didn’t realize that she had done anything wrong, why did Lord Gu suddenly become like this.

“Don’t worry about him. Maybe he’s just not feeling well. He’ll be fine after a while.”

Lord Gu, who had not yet walked far, paused and his face became even gloomier.

“Now the sun has set, let’s walk around in the yard. It’s getting boring staying indoors all the time.”

As soon as Qin Yuan said this, the two maids immediately agreed.

Cui Ming said, “Miss, you haven’t written a poem for a while. I see some beautiful views in the courtyard. Why don’t you recite a few poems while you enjoy them? If you find something you like, you can write a letter back to Miss Dong.”

Qin Yuan was stunned when he heard this.

After she was reborn, she was busy preparing for her wedding. When she arrived at the Marquis’ Mansion, she was busy with trivial matters and even forgot about her good friend from her previous life.

“Okay, let’s go for a walk.”

She hasn’t even had a good look around the yard where she lives.

The Marquis’ Mansion was not as small as the Qin’s Mansion. In fact, the Wutong Garden where she lived was even larger than the backyard of the Qin’s Mansion.

Qin Yuan took the maids around and played.

The laughter reached the ears of Lord Gu, who was sulking on the bamboo couch in the side room, making him even more anxious.

He didn’t want to listen, but he couldn’t help but look for the softest and most charming voice among all the women.

“Recite poetry,” Gu Jinghui chewed the two words between his lips and teeth in an inaudible voice.

The gloom on his face seemed real.

Finally, he couldn’t help but walked out, leaning on the railing and staring at Qin Yuan’s figure from afar, appearing and disappearing among the rockery and green shade.

After watching for a while, he went back to the house and lay down.

Qin Yuan felt a little tired after walking in the yard, so he went back home.

She was standing by the pond just now, looking at the dark green water, the undulating bamboo leaves, and the birds flying lightly across the water. Suddenly, she thought of half a poem. She planned to go back and write it down on the flowery paper first, and then think about the rest of the poem slowly when she had time.

In her previous life, she was immersed in mundane affairs every day, devoting all her energy to planning Lin Ziqi’s future, and rarely had the leisure time to do this.

Lin Ziqi no longer reciting poems and painting with her under the moonlight, and he was either obsessed with fighting for power or intoxicated by the tenderness of others. He was no longer the ideal husband she had seen when they first met.

In the end, both of them became people that the other didn’t like.

Qin Yuan made up her mind to live a comfortable and leisurely life. When she admired flowers, she only had flowers in her eyes, and when she recited poems, she only had poems in her heart. Lord Gu had long been forgotten by her, which made Hongye worry about her and said, “I wonder if Lord Gu is feeling better now.”

Qin Yuan said, “It’s time for dinner. I’ll ask the Marquis what he wants to eat later.”

Cui Ming said, “Mother Cai is repairing the small kitchen with her men. I’m afraid it will be almost finished. Once the plaster is dry, we can use it. We also need to buy some utensils.”

Hongye asked, “Can’t we get these at the mansion?”

Cuiming couldn’t make up her mind either.

Qin Yuan said: “Just ask Mother Cai and you will know.”

As they talked about these trivial matters, they put their poetic inspiration aside. When they returned to the corridor, Mother Cai was already standing downstairs waiting for them.

Qin Yuan hurriedly said, “Mother Cai, please come in and have some tea.”

Madam Cai shook her head and said, “It’s too late, so I won’t bother you anymore. I’ve already had the small kitchen cleaned up, but I’ll have to come back in a few days to check. If you try to light a cigarette and nothing goes wrong, you can use it.”

Qin Yuan smiled and said, “I’m really sorry to bother Mother Cai. This matter is urgent. I’m sure Mother Cai has run around a lot. It’s really not easy in such a hot day.”

This sentence made the breath that Mother Cai had been holding for a long time rush straight to her nose, and she suddenly felt a little sour.

“I am used to doing these things.”

Qin Yuan said: “Hongye, go get a letter and give it to Mama Cai for tea.”

Hongye responded and went to the inner room.

Madam Cai rubbed her hands and said, “Madam, we need to send someone useful to go with me to check if there is anything that needs to be changed. After all, it is troublesome to do it once, so it is better to do a good job.”

Cui Ming said, “I’ll go with you.”

Hongye took out the red envelope, and Mother Cai and Cuiming left again. Qin Yuan went back to the inner room to change clothes, and she stood in the corridor with her head down waiting.

Gu Shiliu walked in from outside the yard and asked curiously, “Hongye, what are you doing here? Are you going to block me again?”

Every time Hongye blocked him, it was because he had something to ask of him.

Hongye smiled and took out a piece of paper from her purse, handed it to Gu Shiliu and said, “Look what this is?”

“what?”

“This is the receipt that Madam gave you. It has Madam’s personal seal on it. Please sign your name on it. When Cuiming comes back, sign your name on Cuiming’s account book. Then it will be done. You can use this to divide the money in the future.”

“Really?”

Gu Shiliu took it with some excitement and praised: “Madam is really thoughtful. She even thought of us.”

He looked at it again and again, then put it carefully into his purse.

Mother Cai followed Cuiming and turned around, asking suddenly: “What are you doing…”

Hongye took out the red envelope and handed it to Mother Cai with a smile, saying, “Mother Cai, take it.”

Mother Cai did not refuse. She took it, squeezed it, and asked with a smile, “Can I have a say in what you just said?”

Her husband worked for the Marquis and the family had saved some money.

After listening to what Hongye and the others said, Madam Cai smiled and said, “Miss Cuiming, can you help me gain face in front of the Madam and give me fifty taels of silver?”

She really wanted to get close to the Marquis’s wife.

It doesn’t matter whether you can make money or not.

Cui Ming was a little hesitant, but when she saw Hong Ye constantly giving her eyes, she finally agreed, “I can only talk to Madam about it, but I can’t guarantee it. Don’t spread the word. I’ll look for you again when it’s done.”

Madam Cai responded with a smile, saying, “I will not go in to bother you, Madam. If Miss Cuiming gets the news, just send a little maid to run the trip.”

“well.”

Several people were whispering in the corridor.

Lord Gu heard everything and shouted from inside the house, “Sixteen, Sixteen, where have you been?”

Gu Shiliu said quickly, “The Marquis is looking for me.”

Hongye pulled him aside and whispered, “Please help me find out what happened to the Marquis. Why did he suddenly become unhappy?”

“what?”

Monk Gu was completely confused.

“Wasn’t the Marquis fine when he came back from the upper room? He even gave me a large reward.”
