My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 142 Compensation for a Legitimate Daughter

It took Accountant Sun a while to come to his senses. Butler Cao was saying that he had no tact and had offended the maid from Wutong Garden.

To be honest, Accountant Sun also felt a little regretful.

But it doesn't help.

"No, that's not the case."

The more he feared that Qin Yuan would deal with him after taking power, the more unwilling Sun the accountant was to believe that Qin Yuan was capable of doing the job.

Butler Cao rolled his eyes, snorted twice, ignored him, and slowly sipped from the small teapot.

After a while, the person who went to the Xu residence to report the news came back and said in frustration: "Master Xu made a scene after hearing this and insisted that the Marquis' residence accompany their legitimate daughter."

Really outrageous.

Shouldn't we be anxious to find someone together at this time?

Steward Cao said, "What are you talking about here? Go and ask Madam Hou for help."

Xu Fu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why, did we tell them to follow us to look for someone right away?"

Everyone dispersed.

The servant went in and out, and Hongye took the reward money for me and hurried back slowly, saying, "Sister, the Xu family is very bad, what should we do if you come knocking on our door?"

Hongye ran into the main room and opened the curtain. She saw Xu Fu grinding ink at the table and said quickly, "Sister, come here, come here."

Hongye touched Hongmian's big head in protest and said, "Why is he so smart? It's up to you."

The rest became firm again.

Qin Yuan was a little surprised, so he sat behind the table and asked, "What's the matter?"

Hongmian: “Hehehe.”

But what they talked about was still what they had said before.

Xu Fu thought about it and said, "That's bad."

"Thank you, Madam, for the reward." The servant paused and asked, "Should I report to the Marquis and the Eighth Master? If so, what should we do if the Xu family comes to make trouble?"

Xu Fu couldn't help but frown and said, "It was said earlier that Gu Shiyi was looking for a source of goods here. If they can wait, they can buy it earlier. When they first paid, it was 70 taels of silver per catty. Now the market price has not dropped to 78 taels of silver per catty. I'm afraid it will be even lower in the past."

The servant's clothes were torn, but he looked quite disheveled.

"I have to pay more if I buy less?"

There was no maid inside to call Hongye. Hongye went out for a while and came back to say, "Big sister, the person who went to Qin Yuan to report the news is back."

Hongye has always known the Xu family's plan, and whispered to the housekeepers, "They are only worried about the contribution. Madam is worried about finding the goods, and she is afraid that they will be upset for nothing. But before the contribution is made, they will regret it."

Hongye nodded: "You remember it."

Mother Cai immediately said, "Miss Hongye, your contribution is for advancement."

The housekeepers smiled and said, "Madam, we have an important matter."

As soon as the servant who reported the news retreated, he hurriedly said, "Madam, I went to Qin Yuan to report the news, and Steward Cao kept saying that Sister Xu was lost in our mansion, so we must return me a legitimate sister."

Hongye was shocked.

No one was pushed out, and he said, "After that, I heard that Madam wanted to buy pepper, and you all contributed your share. But you thought that because of the Qi Wang Mansion, the price of pepper outside the capital is very low now, and there is a market even if there is no price, so you have no place to buy it, and you are thinking about that pepper..."

Hongye on the side also shut up and ground the ink heavily.

Hong Mian nodded and said, "Yes, it is said that pepper in the capital is not abundant, and the less you buy, the less you earn, so..."

As the ink became less and less, a refreshing floral scent wafted out of the room, mixed with the scent of ink, which smelled very bad.

Qin Yuan returned to Wutong Garden. The housekeepers had not left yet. Cui Ming had written down everything they said. Seeing her return, she hurriedly said, "Madam, they still have some matters to report back to you."

Xu Fu smiled and said, "It's up to you."

"how?"

Hongye went in and out to lead people. Xu Fu slightly adjusted her hair and went to the hall.

Xu Fu raised his eyes, saw your expression, and said something, throwing the ink block and letting you go.

Xu Fu winked at Hongye and said, "The sun is blinding. If there is anything, they should disperse."

Accountant Sun stood aside with his hands folded, sneering, "If the Sixth Madam were to handle this matter, she would never do it this way."

Hongye waved and called Hongmian over, asking, "He should go and ask around to see what Madam Gu Ba has done?"

The mothers in charge all said that they thought so. They smiled and had flickering eyes, as if they wanted to go in but were afraid of offending Lu Zhu.

Seeing her opponent like this, Mother Li quickly expressed her opinion and said, "Miss Cuiming, yours is also going in."

"Butler Cao also said... he also said that the Dingbei Marquisate was bullying others by taking advantage of its power, and that they must return a legitimate eldest sister to the Xu family. Then the Xu family drove me out, saying that the whole family had to come outside the mansion to find out what was going on."

Xu Fu said, "Bad, you already know it, let him get up, and let Hongye give him the reward money later."

The corners of Xu Fu's lips curled slightly.

Xu Fu said: "Let me wait in the hall."

Hongye added, "If you buy less, you have to pay extra. Have you ever heard of this?"

I've only heard that if you buy a small amount, you pay more, so why do you have to pay more?

Xu Fu concentrated and calmed down, and finished practicing calligraphy.

Hongye smiled and said, "Those are big things, they don't have to worry about them. Now the smallpox in the mansion is a small matter, but you must not delay. If you have figured it out, just come in with the receipt."

Mother Lu rolled her eyes and immediately said, "Miss Hongye, yours will also be used."

Since Lord Gu is using it, it is no longer yours.

Madam Gu Ba was wary and would inevitably try to find ways to bring people together.

Hong Mian smiled proudly and said, "Sister Hongye, when you asked Madam just now, you hadn't asked about it. It is said that Madam Zhao, who is beside Madam Gu Ba, spread the word that Madam Gu Ba's family bought some pepper by chance and are willing to help you make a fortune. However, the quantity is small, so it's first come first served. If you buy less, you have to pay extra."

The faces of the mothers in charge suddenly brightened.

Soon the mothers in charge began to waver.

"Yes, when Butler Cao heard that Miss Xu had met him, he immediately got angry and said that Miss Xu was invited to the Marquis' Mansion to accompany the Eighth Madam and the First Sister, and to look for a marriage partner. Now that the marriage has been settled, it means that the person has been met."

Xu Fu said, "They should first arrange today's task, and then look for Cui Ming and Hong Ye to join the group."

Qin Yuan was a little impatient and said, "If you don't have anything else to do, go back and do everything I said before. Now is a time of trouble, so don't be careless."

That type of floral ink was your pet peeve, and you found it outside Lord Gu's study.

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the main room.

That smallpox incident allowed you to quickly take control of the household expenses. If anything went wrong, the household expenses would probably be returned to Madam Gu.

Hongye chattered for a while, and finally said, "Mrs. Gu Ba is really not idle at all. Even now, she is taking care of the eldest sister wholeheartedly, and she is also thinking about winning over those housekeepers."
