My Sister Insisted on Swapping Marriages, and I Became a Marchioness Instead Chapter 463: All Debts

This was Marquis Gu chasing here.

Hong Ye couldn’t help but suppress a laugh and glanced at Cui Ming.

Cui Ming also couldn’t help but suppress a smile.

While Qin Yuan blushed and gave a helpless glance at Gu Shiliu.

These two master and servant really are cautious.

She intended to bring only Shi Ba, but unexpectedly Sixteen also ca along. Not only did he co, but he also inford Marquis Gu.

As soon as those words were said, Marquis Gu had already arrived close by.

This astonished Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Lin.

They had never seen anyone display Qinggong, and Marquis Gu, dressed in a dark green Qilin Robe, the breeze whipping his robes and loose hair, appeared remarkably handso and extraordinary, and had an uncommon origin.

Mrs. Lin’s mouth was agape.

"Ding, Ding, Dingbei Marquis."

Yet, Marquis Gu didn’t spare even half a glance for her, his eyes solely fixated on his young wife who had risen to greet him.

"Why has the Marquis co?" Qin Yuan moved lightly, a smile gracing her face.

Marquis Gu cleared his throat and said with a smile, "I ca over to take a look as soon as I heard about it after leaving the governnt office."

Qin Yuan chidingly said, "Even after leaving the office, you don’t know to rest more, rushing over for what? I’m rely dealing with so matters at my sister’s house with Mother, not staying long."

Lin Ziqi, stunned, felt his headache dissipate and pushed past Gu Shiba, stepping forward to salute, "Marquis Gu’s arrival truly brings brilliance."

Marquis Gu cast him a casual glance and said indifferently, "You look unwell, perhaps you’re sick?"

Lin Ziqi smiled wryly and said, "Indeed, I’ve been sick for days, otherwise I’d surely go to the Marquis Mansion to help my wife."

Marquis Gu said, "If you’re unwell, just rest. My mansion has many people; these matters don’t require you. I heard your Advanced Scholar exams are coming up, you should focus on recovering well."

These words were blunt and rather impolite.

Yet, no one dared to argue.

Regardless of Lin Ziqi’s feelings, Marquis Gu proceeded to greet Mrs. Cui.

Finally, it was Mrs. Lin’s turn.

By now, Mrs. Lin had co to her senses and smiled, "I really didn’t expect a noble to co, no wonder the magpies were singing this morning."

Hong Ye couldn’t help but purse her lips, whispering to Cui Ming, "The magpies sang, but her niece miscarried today."

Cui Ming quickly pinched her.

Hong Ye finally restrained herself a bit.

With the arrival of Marquis Gu, after exchanging greetings, everyone offered mutual courtesies before sitting down again.

Gu Shiba then said, "Is Lin Junren going back to rest in his room?"

Lin Ziqi waved his hand and said, "Seeing the Marquis, my headache feels much better. It seems the Marquis’s nobility dispelled my headache."

Gu Shiba then stepped aside.

Qin Yuan smiled as she looked at Marquis Gu, "If that’s the case, it’s good for you to be here. It’ll be more convenient to establish the docunt and sign after stamping."

Mrs. Lin said, "There’s no hurry. We’ve rarely had a noble guest, we should entertain him well. Hopefully, the Marquis and his wife won’t mind the narrowness of the house or the lack of good things."

Gu Jinghui squeezed Qin Yuan’s hand and then released it, sighing, "I wouldn’t dare trouble the old lady. I have business in the Marquis Mansion after lunch and cannot stay long. I ca to see if there’s anything I can help with."

He was here to assist his mother-in-law and wife, so staying for a al at the Lin Family seed inappropriate.

Moreover, he really didn’t wish to see his young wife and Lin Junren together.

Not saying a word wouldn’t do.

Sitting beside them wouldn’t do either.

Mrs. Lin still wanted to extend the invitation.

Mrs. Cui then said, "Yuan’er, you’re always skilled with pen and ink, why not help write a docunt so we can quickly resolve this matter and not delay my good son-in-law’s business?"

Qin Yuan chuckled lightly, "There’s no rush. He’s always respectful to his parents, though he isn’t sweet-tongued, he says whatever cos to mind."

Mrs. Cui nodded, "The Marquis’s character is often praised at ho by the adults, I know it well."

Bai He had already ground the ink and brought paper and pen.

Qin Yuan drafted the docunt, and Bai He handed it around for everyone to sign and stamp.

Mrs. Cui accepted it contentedly.

At this mont, a sorrowful cry of a woman echoed from the neighboring room.

Lin Ziqi lowered his head, not daring to show any expression of pity.

Soon, the nanny walked out, followed by a young maid carrying an empty bowl.

"Madam, the red flower soup has been given."

Mrs. Cui said, "Go back and keep watch, lest she secretly gags and throws it up. Such won have minds so calculating, it’s hard to guard against them."

The nanny said, "That’s what I was intending."

Mrs. Cui added, "Wan’er doesn’t have any experienced attendants nearby here, you should stay and take care of her. Bai He is here too, you mother and daughter can reunite here."

The nanny was thrilled, thanked again and again, and went back into the neighboring room.

Qin Yuan then got up and said, "Mother, my husband and I will take our leave now. If there’s anything you need us for in the future, just send soone with a ssage."

Mrs. Cui nodded and said, "Good, good child, thank you for your trouble this ti. I’ll rember your kindness."

Gu Jinghui saluted Mrs. Cui and said, "Mother-in-law, feel free to visit our ho when you have ti. My mother enjoys chatting with you. Also, Little Brother-in-law enjoys horse riding; once things settle down, let him visit. Mr. Songshan ntioned several tis wanting to test him thoroughly. If he catches Mr. Songshan’s eye, he can often join Si Yuan in the future, which will be beneficial for him."

Mrs. Cui was pleased and laughed heartily, "Good. Brother Heng has been restless lately, should avoid so troubles, once the mansion is free, we can let him disturb you."

After so casual conversation and laughter, Gu Jinghui then bid farewell to Lin Ziqi and Mrs. Lin.

The distinction between closeness and distance was very clear.

This gesture further gave face to Mrs. Cui.

"Sister, brother-in-law, this is all because of my unworthy self, troubling you with my matters. Whenever you’re free, I hope you’ll visit for a little gathering."

At this mont, Qin Wan also erged, supported by Yanhong’s hand, standing under the porch to bid farewell.

Gu Jinghui lowered his eyes without looking at her, leaving Qin Yuan to offer so comforting words.

Watching the pair, hand in hand, depart.

Lin Ziqi and Qin Wan stood in silence for a while.

Their hearts filled with indescribable complexity and obscurity.

Mrs. Cui said, "I’ve been here being botherso for half a day, it’s ti to leave. Mother-in-law, there might be many things you’ll need to help my son-in-law with in the future, I hope for your understanding for Wan’er’s sake."

At this mont, Mrs. Lin could only agree, repeating words of reassurance.

Lin Ziqi suppressed the tumultuous thoughts within and escorted Mrs. Cui and others out with a forced smile.

Before leaving, Mrs. Cui glanced at Qin Wan and said, "Take good care of your child, fulfill your duties, don’t disgrace the Qin Family. If only you had a fraction of your sister’s capabilities, I wouldn’t be losing sleep every night."

Children are debts.

If not owed in a past life, they wouldn’t et in this life.

Too weary of seeing Qin Wan’s forlorn deanor, Mrs. Cui also climbed into the carriage and left.

Lin Ziqi and Qin Wan had no desire for conversation, each returning to their rooms for rest.

Only Mrs. Lin went to see her niece.
