Chapter 521: After the Mid-Autumn Festival
Gu Jinghui clenched his right fist, then released it, saying, “It’s always better to be cautious. It’s a good thing that you are in the inner house, otherwise it would be impossible to guard against it.”

Qin Yuan secretly felt ashamed.

If she had not been through this life before, she would not have been able to see through all these twists and turns.

Qin Yuan said: “The Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion is Queen Lin’s faction. We must be more cautious when we go to the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion to socialize in the future.”

Gu Jinghui nodded repeatedly and said, “It seems that there are no trivial matters in the inner house. You should pay more attention to it.”

His mother can only take care of herself, and it’s good enough that his sister doesn’t get into trouble.

Fortunately, my wife is here, otherwise I wouldn’t have noticed these things.

Mr. Matsuyama is right.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, “The interactions between ladies are inevitably related to the disputes in the court. Many things that men cannot talk about directly will be passed on through the backyard. My husband is only concerned with fighting, so naturally he doesn’t know these things.”

The Dingbei Marquis is an hereditary title, and their duty from generation to generation is to protect the northern frontier. They rarely get involved in court disputes, let alone the struggle for succession.

But in the generation of Lord Gu, an accident happened.

Queen Lin went from being a foot-washing maid to a favorite concubine. The former queen and the former crown prince met with misfortunes one after another, and the Yelu clan was driven away again…

The situation became complicated.

Lord Gu also thought of this and said with a smile: “With my wife, I am even more powerful. We are truly a match made in heaven.”

Qin Yuan pursed her lips and smiled gently.

Lord Gu added: “Although we knew that the Crown Prince had ill intentions towards the Marquis’ Mansion, we always thought that he was the crown prince, so we avoided him if we could, and endured him if we could.”

The implication is that he doesn’t want to endure it anymore.

Qin Yuan lowered her eyes, her long and curled eyelashes blocking her thoughts. The small mole on the tip of her straight nose was very conspicuous. Gu Jinghui’s gaze lingered on it, as if he was looking at the mole carefully, and as if he wanted to see through her heart.

After a long while, Qin Yuan slowly said, “My husband has already made up his mind. No matter what he does, I will be with you. We can’t just passively take a beating like this…but…”

“Just what?”

Gu Jinghui, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, breathed another sigh of relief.

“But my father may not necessarily stand by the Marquisate. If the situation comes to that, please don’t blame him for my sake, my husband.”

Lord Gu finally let out the breath in peace.

A heart was beating wildly, thump-thump-thump non-stop.

If he understood correctly, his wife was willing to stand by him and even put her family aside for him.

In other words.

In Qin Yuan’s heart, Gu Jinghui was better than the Qin family.

Lord Gu hugged Qin Yuan into his arms, kissed her hair, and murmured, “With a good daughter-in-law like you, how can I bear to blame the Yue family. Besides, given my father-in-law’s character and temperament, he would never take advantage of someone’s misfortune. This is enough. How can I dare to expect more?”

People say that when disaster strikes, everyone runs away.

What does the relationship between the Dingbei Marquis Mansion and Queen Lin’s family have to do with the Qin family?
Qin Yuan is willing to accompany him, what a deep affection she shows.

His little wife’s heart is really full of him.

He will never meet such a good woman in his life, a woman who is devoted to him wholeheartedly and loves him wholeheartedly.

Lord Gu closed his eyes and listened quietly to his own heartbeat and his little wife’s heartbeat slowly merging into one.

My heart is full of happiness and peace.

The curtain rang slightly, and Mo Zhu hurried in with various silks and satins in his arms, and then hurriedly retreated when he saw the situation. Lord Gu then let go of her hand, but he didn’t say anything, just holding Qin Yuan’s slender hand and playing with it non-stop.

Qin Yuan also let him do as he pleased and asked, “Has the King of Qi ever mentioned that fragrance in front of my husband?”

Lord Gu held Qin Yuan’s little hand in his and shook his head, “No, he came to me yesterday to ask about the details of Mr. Songshan and Mr. Nantang, but I naturally knew nothing about them.”

At this point, Lord Gu sighed and said, “I don’t know what’s going on. Now the officials in the court are trying to find out about Master Nan Nantang.”

Lord Gu felt a little proud, a little complacent, and a little jealous in an inexplicable way.

Qin Yuan smiled embarrassedly.

Changing the subject, he asked again, “Did His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi not use that incense?”

Lord Gu was surprised, “I heard him say this matter was very important before, why wouldn’t he use it?”

Qin Yuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said after a while: “It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Qi plans to come to see me again after the Mid-Autumn Festival. It’s time to send a message to Seventeen to start collecting pepper.”

Lord Gu immediately said, “I’ll ask Sixteen to pass the message.”

Qin Yuan smiled and held his strong forearm, saying, “There is no rush. It won’t be too late to talk about it tomorrow.”

Lord Gu was not willing to agree. At this moment, he really hoped that Qin Yuan could come up with countless things so that he could serve his wife well.

Only after Lord Gu left did Cui Ming and Mo Zhu dare to come in.

Qin Yuan asked: “Is Hongye with Shiliu?”

Cui Ming smiled and said, “It’s embarrassing. How could I know such a thing? But when the Marquis came, Hongye went out, and Sixteen was gone.”

Mozhu looked at Cuiming with admiration.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, “Others say Hongye is good at talking, but I think your mouth is really good.”

Mo Zhu presented the fabric in his arms and asked, “Madam, how about selecting one piece of each of these silks and satins to send to Mr. Lin’s family?”

Qin Yuan reached out her hand and touched it, then nodded and said, “Yes, with a new piece of Liuyun yarn, it will be most suitable for my second sister at this age.”

Cui Ming said with a smile: “Wouldn’t this make Madam Yu jealous to death?”

They had all seen how shortsighted Madam Yu was.

Qin Yuan said: “That’s her business, it has nothing to do with me.”

The three were talking when suddenly a sharp and urgent flute sound was heard outside, breaking the quiet autumn night.

Qin Yuan put down the silk in his hand with a serious expression.

Obviously something happened in the mansion, which caused this to happen.

Cui Ming and Mo Zhu also stopped smiling and spoke no more.

After a while, Lord Gu came back, changed his outer clothes in a hurry, and said, “Yuan’er, I have something to go out for. You go to bed first and don’t have to wait for me.”

After saying that, without waiting for her to reply, he walked out the door and disappeared.

Hongye walked in and said to Qin Yuan, “I don’t know what happened. When Sixteen heard the sound, it was as if his butt was on fire. He flew out with a whoosh.”

Qin Yuan said, “You don’t know, and I, who am sitting in the room, know nothing. Judging from the Marquis’ tone, I’m afraid he won’t be back tonight. If you want to know, ask for information tomorrow morning.”

Cui Ming smiled and said, “The Marquis is still out looking for Sixteen, so I know that Sixteen must be with you. You two should quickly set a date for the wedding, so that we can get through it. It will save trouble for everyone.”

Perhaps because she had been teased so many times, Hongye was no longer embarrassed and said, “We have to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival is over.”

Suddenly, there was a sound of porcelain breaking outside the house.
