Qin Yuan also smiled.
Hongye asked curiously, "What are you two laughing about?"
Cui Ming said, "You'll find out soon enough."
After a while.
The messenger returned to report that the Marquis would be back soon.
Qin Yuan quickly embroidered a few stitches and roughly embroidered a wing.
When Lord Gu returned, he saw his young wife sitting by the window, intently embroidering his inner garment. His eyes and brows immediately lit up with a smile, and he said, "Madam, have you chosen the pattern yet?"
Qin Yuan looked up at the sound.
Lord Gu reached out through the window and took the embroidery frame, praising, "The stitches are fine and the design is beautiful."
"I'm glad my husband likes it." Qin Yuan said softly, "It wasn't for nothing that Cui Ming and I spent several days thinking about it before choosing it."
After hearing this, Lord Gu looked at it again and again, pondering for a long time.
"Such a small design, yet you've managed to embroider a winged Pegasus that's instantly recognizable. Madam, you truly possess a kind and intelligent heart."
He handed back the embroidery hoop, full of anticipation: "Once I've put it on, let's see what General Jin will have to brag about."
This is to go and challenge General Kim.
Qin Yuan embroidered a few more stitches and said, "...Madam Jin told me when she was drunk that at home, she made General Jin kneel, and General Jin dared not stand. Besides, I think Madam Jin...doesn't seem to know much about fine needlework."
Gu Jinghui's smug expression froze on his face.
This makes his arrogant and handsome face look rather silly.
After a long pause, he finally said, "You, you mean, General Jin is lying to me?"
Good heavens!
They actually dared to deceive their superiors.
They're really asking for trouble.
Qin Yuan said quietly, "Perhaps I'm not lying to you, it's just that it wasn't embroidered by Madam Jin."
Lord Gu was stunned for a moment.
If it wasn't embroidered by Madam Jin, then it must have been embroidered by General Jin's concubine.
Lord Gu hurriedly jumped into the room through the window.
“Yuan’er, I have absolutely no intention of taking a concubine, you can believe me. I am not like General Jin.”
Qin Yuan sighed, "I believe you, it's definitely not true now."
They haven't even consummated their marriage yet, and he already wants to take a concubine?
Are we just going to leave it there to look at?
What a joke.
Lord Gu hurriedly replied, "There won't be any more in the future."
Although Qin Yuan repeatedly said she didn't object to him taking a concubine, Lord Gu knew very well that no woman liked her husband taking a concubine.
She could not tolerate her husband's favoritism towards his concubine and his disrespect for his legal wife.
Qin Yuan put down her embroidery hoop.
"Let's not talk about that. Mother had a good cry yesterday. Doctor Li came to see her and prescribed some medicine. I wanted to have lunch with her at noon, but she said that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon and she has a lot to do, so she told me not to rush over. The steward and accountant for the inner courtyard have been changed, so I have to tell Mother. How about we have dinner together tonight?"
Lord Gu nodded and said, "It's a good opportunity to tell Mother about the burning of the Wild Donkey Mansion."
Qin Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Then?"
Lord Gu understood and said, "It's alright to tell Mother, but we shouldn't tell the others."
Qin Yuan agreed.
The two then went up to the upper room hand in hand.
Once outside the courtyard, Lord Gu finally realized what was going on and said, "General Jin is wearing an inner garment embroidered by his concubine, while I am wearing one embroidered by my wife. Haha. What are you comparing me to, General Jin?"
If he wanted Madam Jin to embroider it, General Jin didn't know how much effort it would take.
Furthermore, even if it's embroidered, can it be as beautiful as Yuan'er's?
Lord Gu couldn't wait to put on his inner robe and show it off to General Jin, letting him experience the feelings he had once envied.
Qin Yuan smiled but didn't say anything.
She planned to have Cuiming embroider it later...
However, since she embroidered the head, it's equivalent to her embroidering it, so there's nothing wrong with that.
Anyway, most men won't look at the stitches.
When the two arrived at the main room, Rong Mama immediately said upon seeing them, "The old lady is with the young master and young lady and she is feeling a bit better."
This is an implication that you shouldn't say anything bad.
Qin Yuan nodded and said, "We're here to freeload a meal, and also, we need to let Mother know that the steward and chief accountant in the inner courtyard have changed."
"Who changed it?"
Hearing this from inside the room, Old Madam Gu asked through the curtain.
The maidservant quickly lifted the curtain, and Qin Yuan walked in with a smile: "Mother, the steward and chief accountant of the inner courtyard have been changed."
Overnight, Madam Gu looked as if she had aged ten years.
Qin Yuan sighed inwardly.
I wonder how this old man survived those bygone years.
Madam Gu frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "It seems like she's done something wrong, as you mentioned before."
Qin Yuan said, "That's right. Steward Han and Steward Cao both think highly of Accountant Wan. The Marquis and I personally tested him, and he is quite capable. The head steward of the inner courtyard has been promoted from the original deputy, Steward Qian. Steward Qian and Accountant Wan should have come to pay their respects to the old lady, but thinking that Mother needs to rest, we told them to come another day."
Old Madam Gu raised her eyebrows and asked Rong Mama, "Which family owns the Wan Accounting Office?"
Rong Momo laughed and said, "You forgot, the Wan family manages the money and grain. They only have one youngest son, who is seriously ill and has never been to the battlefield. He works in the mansion."
Qin Yuan said, "Now that I'm feeling better, I'm taking care of my brother's two children."
Madam Gu said, "I wondered who it was, but it turns out to be their family. The child is unwell; let Doctor Li treat him. Doctor Li is quite capable; I heard he's almost cured Old Madam Qi's eyes."
Qin Yuan then said, "Mother, the Marquis has already agreed to have Physician Li treat his illness."
Madam Gu said, "That's good. Hui-ge'er, you must remember those who fought alongside us and shed blood for the Gu family."
Gu Jinghui said, "Mother, I will never forget."
"That's good," said Madam Gu. "Our Gu family shed blood for Daxing. If His Majesty forgets us, how heartbroken he would be. They shed blood for us, and we cannot forget them."
"yes!"
Gu Jinghui answered loudly, "Mother, rest assured, I will not let the blood of our Gu family be shed in vain."
If the emperor forgot, he would make the emperor remember.
If others don't give him justice, he'll find a way to get it back himself.
Madam Gu glanced at Rong Mama, who then led everyone else away and closed the door. Only then did Madam Gu ask, "Was it you who burned down the hostage residence yesterday?"
Lord Gu grinned: "So Mother already knew."
"How could I not know you?"
Madam Gu said, "You must be careful. It's never good to have someone catch you doing something wrong."
"Don't worry," Lord Gu said, beaming. "My son not only burned down the hostage residence, but also emptied it of all its valuables. Yuan'er said that the source of their money is unknown and they would never dare to say it."
Madam Gu looked at Qin Yuan and said affectionately, "I was hoping you would persuade him, but I didn't expect you to help him."
Qin Yuan laughed and said, "Husband and wife should follow each other's lead, and the Yelü clan should also be taught a lesson. I was just about to ask Mother how to spend this money."
"You're already going to spend it?" Lord Gu asked in surprise. "I haven't even calculated the amount yet, and you're already planning how to spend it?"
Madam Gu also somewhat disagreed.
