My Sister Insisted on Swapping Marriages, and I Became a Marchioness Instead

Chapter 666: Chapter 666: How to Repay Virtue

”What’s so peculiar?” Gu Baoshu asked.

Qin Yuan also glanced over.

Qin Heng lowered his voice, with a hint of mystery: ”I discovered that Brother Ximen and another group of people seem to know each other, but they pretend not to.

That group looks like they’re not to be messed with, and the leader is even dressed like a scholar. Isn’t that strange?

Moreover, there’s a large red mole on the left side of the scholar’s face, and when he looks at me, it’s as if, as if... Right, it’s as if I were already dead, it scared the hairs on my back to stand up.”

”Explain in more detail,” Qin Yuan looked serious.

That scholar might just be the village chief of Black Wind Village.

What a... bold move!

”Third sister-in-law asked you to speak, so hurry up. We men should speak and act straightforwardly,” Gu Baoshu gave a heavy slap on Qin Heng’s shoulder.

Qin Heng grimaced for a while but ultimately didn’t cry out.

However, Sixth Master Gu glared at Gu Baoshu: ”What kind of daughter’s behavior is this?”

Gu Baoshu suddenly realized: ”Oh, I forgot, I thought I was still Mr. Qi now.”

Qin Heng rubbed his own shoulder, frowned and said: ”Sis, Sister Baozhu, I’m really impressed. You’ve been Seventh Miss for so many years, and Mr. Qi for only a few days. Won’t people recognize you when you go out later?”

”Absolutely not,” Gu Baoshu turned away, looked at Qin Yuan, and suddenly had fighting spirit again: ”Third sister-in-law is asking you a question, don’t ramble.”

”...I...”

Qin Heng gritted his teeth and slowly recounted what he had seen and heard.

Qin Yuan listened with appreciation: ”Brother Heng, you’ve been quite observant, it seems you’ve improved quite a bit these days.”

Qin Heng scratched the top of his head, somewhat awkwardly.

Such praise from his eldest sister was rare, especially after she married into the Marquis Mansion.

He couldn’t help but smile broadly, with his eyebrows and eyes full of amusement.

In just a few short months after marrying into Dingbei Marquis Mansion, his eldest sister inexplicably gained a lot of sophistication, making people dare not have a bit of disrespect.

Perhaps it’s the saying that his mother often repeats these days, ’Move to adopt the qualities befitting your residence.’

Second sister married into the Lin Family and became more and more petty, while eldest sister became increasingly radiant.

Even Qin Heng, who always stood up for his second sister, felt as if she was poisoned by something from the Lin Family to make such a silly choice, forsaking Dingbei Marquis for Lin Ziqi.

All one can say is that different people have different preferences.

Everyone has their fate.

Qin Heng held back for a while before saying: ”Eldest sister, I have to grow up, right?”

Qin Yuan smiled and nodded, ”You have indeed matured quite a bit.”

After some contemplation, she asked: ”So, these people are together. Why are they all crowding Ranxiang Inn now?”

Gu Baoshu slapped the table and complained: ”Exactly, Qin Heng, didn’t I tell Little Brother Hong to take them all to Book Sea Pavilion? I thought if they started trouble, they’d do it at Book Sea Pavilion, why have they ended up at my Ranxiang Inn instead? Isn’t this like lifting a rock only to smash my own foot? You should go talk to them.”

Only then did everyone realize her little scheme.

Qin Siyuan shook his head with a smile: ”You’re really going all out to mess with Book Sea Pavilion.”

Gu Baoshu looked serious and retorted: ”What else should I do? Book Sea Pavilion bullied my Sixth Brother without even considering whether the people of our Gu Family are easy to bully. Not to mention, they’ve threatened Mr. Songshan and Young Master Nantang, so my Third Brother is holding back his anger to deal with it.

As his sister with no real skills, it’s only right to do what little I can to add a bit of trouble for Book Sea Pavilion.”

Qin Siyuan smiled wryly: ”You have a point.”

Seemingly unwilling to continue arguing with Gu Baoshu.

Gu Baoshu said seriously: ”Mr. Qin, I think you’ve read many books, but you’re not clear about grudges.”

Qin Siyuan asked, puzzled: ”I’m eager to hear more.”

Gu Baoshu said: ”Mr. Songshan said, the words of the Saint: repay grievances with kindness, but how do you repay kindness? Book Sea Pavilion belittled our Gu Family first, then trespassed on us, threatening Mr. Songshan and Young Master Nantang. Since business is based on individual abilities, I guided the situation to add a bit of trouble for them, which isn’t too much.”

Someone once asked the Saint, how should one repay grievances with kindness?

The Saint answered, repay grievances with straightforwardness and repay kindness with kindness.

However, Gu Baoshu was not a Saint.

Just a little lady.

Qin Yuan couldn’t help but laugh: ”Cousin, I think Sister Baozhu’s words are most fitting.”

Qin Siyuan thought for a moment and nodded, ”Indeed, that’s my mistake. Siyuan accepts the lesson.”

Gu Baoshu finally became happy and smugly lifted her feet.

Qin Heng excused Little Brother Hong and the others.

”Little Brother Hong and the others tried their best, they were tangled in eating and drinking all the way, and eventually they did lead them to Book Sea Pavilion. Who knew that so many people came here and persuaded those scholars to all come to Ranxiang Inn.

They said although the Nine-Turn Lotus Lamp of Book Sea Pavilion is surely splendid to look at, given how much effort Book Sea Pavilion has put into setting it up, it would definitely last a few days. But Young Master Nantang and Mr. Songshan wouldn’t stay long, so everyone crowded over here.”

Gu Baoshu couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

”Ultimately, it’s my Third Sister-in-law who’s brilliant.”

Qin Yuan laughed: ”Actually, all the credit goes to Shen Changle, he really organized things thoroughly. Baozhu, you’re not worried they’ll cause trouble at Ranxiang Inn now?”

Gu Baoshu shook her head: ”Not worried, my Third Brother probably already made arrangements, didn’t Brother Heng just say, even the Military Department would be able to suppress them? I guess their group wouldn’t dare to confront head-on when entering the city.”

She squinted her eyes, showing a dangerous look on her face.

Planning to go out later to personally meet those people and see what they’re capable of.

But before that...

Gu Baoshu dragged Qin Heng over: ”Later, you must help me with something.”

”Cough, you startled me, I thought something happened,” Qin Heng pulled himself together, patted his chest grandly: ”If there’s anything you need a brother for, just tell me.”

”... What’s going on? What’s going on? You can’t leave me out of whatever important thing you’re doing...” Xiao Dong ran in, his little face red and sweaty.

Not bothering to speak with the crowd, he urgently complained to Qin Heng: ”You didn’t call me for such an important event like soccer.”

Qin Heng’s face showed a bit of guilt.

Gu Baoshu couldn’t help but laugh and gestured with her hand: ”You’re so short, what can you do? Although they’re not really useful, at least they can form a human presence. If you all played, Black-skinned Brother Xiao Hong and the others would lose face.”

”... Uh...”

Stunned for a moment, Xiao Dong couldn’t help but cry out.

Though it’s the truth, it’s really hurtful.

Xiao Dong blinked rapidly, looking aggrieved: ”Sister Baoshu, since nobody’s really useful, why can Brother Qin Heng play while I can’t? Just because I’m shorter? Actually, Brother Qin Heng isn’t much taller than me, clearly you like Brother Qin Heng more than me.”
