Qin Wan snorted coldly, unconvinced.
Seeing her seemingly oblivious attitude of being the only one sober in a world of drunks, Qin Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "I wonder how you knew, little sister?"
Qin Wan was smug and snorted, "That's exactly what I think. With the great victory in the north, there's no more fighting to be done. Lord Gu's career will end here. From now on, the world will be at peace, and the world will belong to civil officials."
Cui was secretly annoyed. It was one thing for her to act crazy at home, but to do it in front of Qin Yuan was another.
Qin Yuan is no longer the same person she used to be.
I wonder what good it would do to offend Qin Yuan.
Cui said with a smile, "Yuan'er, don't pay any attention to her. She hasn't even read many books properly, yet she talks about important matters in court."
At this point, Qin Wan became even more smug.
Not to mention major events in the court, she knows everything about the rise and fall of these people over the next few decades.
Qin Wan glanced at Qin Yuan discreetly, deciding not to say anything for now. Once the deed was done, Qin Yuan would realize how formidable she was.
You Zhen only smiled as he spoke.
"Oh dear, your naughty sister, she's thinking too much... she thinks she's so great, she's looking down on this man," the Marquis said gloatingly, looking at the Marquis. "You could stick to Cui like a leech in the north, but do you think you can stick to Cui like that again? Cui is a woman, she'll definitely hate this kind of thing..."
Lord Gu looked at you, his expression already revealing his anticipation. He snorted and said, "How come you were able to come back at that time? Did you come back because you knew he was saying good things about you behind your back? You even asked the Fourth Princess for leave to come back and be with him."
When Hou Fu saw Hongye hurriedly leave the inner room and then come out again, carrying a tray with women's clothes and accessories, he was immediately thrown into a state of turmoil.
Qin Wan was from a branch of the Cui family in Qinghe. She had both experience and knowledge, and as someone who managed the household affairs, she also knew a thing or two about how to rule.
"You naughty child, go on your way, it's cold there."
The Marquis's family was not surprised at all. They were stunned for a moment before continuing to speak.
The Marquis's residence seems to recall that such an event did not occur in later generations.
The superficial prosperity before our eyes is like fleeting clouds, easily blown away by the wind.
A first-rank imperial consort, the wife of the Grand Secretary... just thinking about it makes me want to laugh.
After exchanging a few words with You Zhen, Lord Gu stood still, bowed to Qin Wan, and asked, "Greetings, Mother-in-law. Has Mother-in-law come to see Yuan'er?"
What else does the Marquis want?
He then turned to the Marquis and said, "His sister speaks harshly, but he really needs to be careful."
Lord Gu glanced at the mansion and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, please sit for a moment. I will change my clothes before we talk."
You Zhen finally felt relieved.
The man from the Hou family stared at the two of them with strange expressions. Qin Wan caught a glimpse of this out of the corner of her eye and immediately shoved him, telling him to watch his step.
You Zhen smiled and nodded, "You heard that Yuan'er was frightened yesterday, so you came to see you with your sister."
You Zhenren pinched you and said, "What nonsense are you spouting all day long?"
You asked willingly, "Sister, are you saying that Gu Jinghui is going to be sent out of the manor? Why are the twins still being cared for in the servants' quarters, and why is the old lady still asking us to come out and receive guests?"
Qin Wan smiled and urged him on.
You turned your neck blankly, looking at You Zhen accusingly.
Although it was a complaint, it was very affectionate.
The Marquis said, "The people sent by Madam Cui to fetch the Pang family have not returned yet. You Zhenrong has been ill and it is getting worse. The old lady was worried that the children's fussing would be good for the patient's recovery, so she arranged for him to stay in the servants' quarters. She also took the opportunity to teach us some etiquette and manners."
That couple is very much in love.
Once they exited the side gate of the Dingbei Marquis's residence, Qin Wan couldn't help but complain, "Good heavens, he really is something else. Doesn't he know what he should and shouldn't say? The Lin family may be complicated, but Ziqi's mother is just like his sister, with a bad temper."
No one's angry yet.
It seems that he only has eyes for the person behind him.
It was shiny and very eye-catching.
Qin Wan rolled her eyes and asked, "Is Lord Gu still in the camp?"
The more the Marquis spoke, the more they stopped talking.
Although Lin Ziqi was also wrong, Qin Wan appreciated You Zhenrong's actions and attitude more.
Judging from how those two interact, there's still nothing I understand.
Every time they tried to say something nice, Zhao Niangzi would seize the opportunity to criticize them. They were truly a shameful couple for posterity.
Qin Wan looked bewildered.
The Marquis said, "Cui is also puzzled. It was the Emperor who suddenly issued an edict ordering me to go. Both thunder and rain are imperial graces."
Lord Marquis: "..."
You Zhen scoffed and said, "If he gets any sicker, they might just let Cui take the baby out of pity."
Qin Wan said a few words, and seeing that you were lost in thought, she thought that Zhao Niangzi had overheard the gossip behind your back and you felt embarrassed, so she said, "You should go back. When Cui Shi comes back, he can tell me that his sister is also thinking of them and is worried that Gu Jinghui will cause trouble. What you said may be unpleasant, and it is right to gossip behind people's backs, but he can be careless in public. It is still necessary to take precautions."
You've long been used to You Zhen's arrogant and leisurely way of enjoying life.
It turns out that Lady Zhao and the Marquis were truly in love; it was all just an act.
You Zhen said, "That makes sense. Qin Yuan is kind and magnanimous in his actions, which is why Cui's subordinates are obedient to him."
Lord Gu was now smiling, his narrow eyes sparkling with starlight.
Only Qin Yuan, with her shallow mind, took it seriously, thinking she had entered a life of luxury.
That man was truly out of his mind.
A woman's voice suddenly came from inside, hot and husky, "Then tell me, what kind of food do I dislike?"
You Zhen: "...Hou..."
The Marquis rushed over and laughed again, "Why did he come back then?"
Qin Wan said, "Why would we let Madam Zhao go?"
Qin Yuan said, "No, I went to accompany the First Princess and the Fourth Princess to Xiaozhao Temple to pray for blessings."
Lord Gu bowed and went inside. Knowing that I was going to the inner courtyard to bathe, the lord told Hongye to quickly find some clean clothes for Cui Shi and have the servant take them.
The Marquis's residence was frozen in shock.
You Zhen frowned and said, "If you fall ill, Qin Yuan can naturally send you away, but it also depends on what your husband's family plans."
Qin Wan smiled and said, "It's clear that the Cui family has won the Emperor's favor."
Qin Wan glared at you a few times, what was your reaction?
It seems like many things haven't changed.
Is it said that Lady Cui prayed for blessings at the Jokhang Temple?
As soon as Cui finished speaking, he took small steps back. I was dressed in military uniform, with my helmet resting on my arm and a dark blue headband tied under my forehead. My sharp eyebrows and pointed jaw made me look both arrogant and handsome, yet also safe.
Now those two bastards are being kept in the main house. They said they were sending Zhao Niangzi out of the mansion, and this is how they're sending her off?
She originally came to make a bad impression, but her son-in-law caught her trying to say something nice.
You Zhen knew what he was thinking again; he was completely lost and disoriented.
You Zhen nodded with a smile.
At that time, Qin Yuan would watch enviously and desperately from the shadows as she watched how glamorous and respectable she was.
The Marquis smiled and took the helmet, saying, "Your sister is just worried about you. You've taken your husband's bad deeds to heart. Why don't you go and greet your mother first, then go wash up and change your clothes before we talk? You've been running around for so long in this cold weather, you must be thirsty."
