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

Chapter 708: Chapter 708: How Was It Fixed?

Prince Qi inquired, ”And then?”

Marquis Gu turned around calmly and said, ”Then, naturally, I will ask the Emperor to make a decision. Although the prince’s crime should be punished like a commoner, King Jin is after all a prince, and I am a minister, I dare not overstep my authority.”

These words were indeed skillfully spoken.

Prince Qi laughed.

Eunuch Huang and Xu Tang felt relieved at once.

Indeed, though heavily beaten by Gu Baoshu, they couldn’t help but grin.

Even Scholar Wu felt a sliver of luck.

Only Lin Ziqi showed no reaction, lying on the ground having fainted for quite some time.

Upon hearing Xu Tang and others’ ploy, Qin Wan was so angry her teeth itched, focusing entirely on having the maids and nanny drag Yu Xiaolian for a beating.

”You vile maid, hasn’t your husband treated you well enough? He went to great lengths to bring you to the capital, protecting you in all matters.

You came with nothing, eating our food, wearing our clothes, yet you commit such a heinous act.”

”Your husband nearly died from your anger. If anything happens to him, don’t think you’ll live either!”

Yu Xiaolian was beaten, running everywhere, crying continuously.

”Madam, spare me, I won’t dare again. Please forgive me this time, I’ll be loyal and serve as your maid.”

Qin Wan snorted coldly.

”Beat her well, this vile skin, would say this all the time, stirring trouble every night. I tolerated her when nothing major happened, who’d have thought she’d have such a sinister heart to do such a vile thing.”

The nanny and maids pulled hair, punched, pinched.

The people around enjoyed the spectacle, and Qin Wan didn’t care.

Qin Yuan couldn’t help but marvel secretly.

Qin Wan really had changed quite a bit since marrying into the Lin Family.

Vice Commander Fu walked out from the crowd, met with Prince Qi and others, then said to Marquis Gu, ”What a coincidence, I led the commandants patrolling here in West Market, happened to encounter this, I’ll handle it.”

Mr. Xu, standing behind him, nodded repeatedly, ”Marquis, rest assured, we at the Five Cities Military Department will handle them soundly without any error.”

Marquis Gu said, ”In that case, I’ll trouble Vice Commander Fu.”

Vice Commander Fu smiled, ”It’s my duty, really, even the Capital Governor Mansion can’t handle it, we’re meant for this.”

Because of his surname, he hated being called Vice Commander Fu most of all.

Marquis Gu, with such great achievements and personality, rightly earned the Emperor’s trust.

In a few words, Vice Commander Fu felt a bit closer to Marquis Gu.

Mr. Xu, standing behind, finally felt relief.

He had just sought help from Sixth Master Gu, yet he seemed uninterested, engrossed in painting Jinling beauties on a plain lamp, maddeningly obsessed.

Despite talking until his mouth went dry, he exchanged for a perfunctory response from the brother-in-law, saying they’d talk when free.

But when would that be?

It’d naturally be after he finished painting.

Mr. Xu, discomforted, dared not show a sour face.

After all, with his sister gone, their bonds diminished with each use.

Now, with Marquis Gu agreeing to hand over the detainee to the Five Cities Military Department, he needn’t worry Xu Tang would end up uselessly crippled.

And as for connections with King Jin, where there’s life, there’s hope.

”Come quickly, settle the people properly without error, or you’ll be held accountable!” Mr. Xu waved, summoning the clerks and soldiers on duty, herding them out of the crowd one by one.

When it came to Lin Ziqi, Mr. Xu considered ingratiating himself, looked to Marquis Gu, ”How should this Scholar Lin be handled?”

Marquis Gu had not yet spoken.

Qin Wan sorrowfully pleaded, ”Brother-in-law, Ziqi was also a victim and is frail, suffering from migraines, he should seek medical attention soon. Even if punished, my father wouldn’t want any harm to come to him.”

Marquis Gu looked to Qin Yuan, ”What does Young Master Nantang think?”

Qin Wan immediately interjected, ”Young Master Nantang holds no real grudge against Ziqi. The real fault lies with that ingrate maid, colluding with outsiders to harm Ziqi and the Qin Family. Just arrest her.”

Qin Yuan’s lips twitched involuntarily.

”Oh well, since Mrs. Lin Qin says so, let’s spare Lin Ziqi for her sake.”

Qin Wan really knows how, even in the previous life, she pointed to her to make decisions unreservedly.

Oh well.

Great fortune to share a journey for a century, they really must have a huge connection.

Bearing with it.

Marquis Gu said, ”So be it then...”

Nearby, Aunt Yu, with disheveled hair, broke free from the maids and nannies’ siege, despairingly shouted, ”Madam, Young Master, Marquis, give a way out for this woman, I too came from a good family, if imprisoned, how can I face serving my husband in the future!”

Qin Yuan glanced at Qin Wan.

Qin Wan’s face showed a cold smile, saying nothing.

Marquis Gu waved his hand, ”Quickly take this noisy woman away.”

Mr. Xu immediately said, ”Why are you still dawdling, does her crying sound nice?”

Aunt Yu was no match, dragged away by soldiers.

While being dragged, she struggled, calling, ”Ziqi waking will surely blame you, mother-in-law won’t spare you, if husband and wife turn discordant, you’ll regret it then.”

The crowd said, ”Such a formidable concubine, with mother-in-law and husband backing her, what a strong backbone.”

”Pity those who could back you are the ones lying on the ground.”

”Haha, Lord Sacrificial Officer truly found himself a son-in-law...”

Even the ever honest Qin Siyuan didn’t wish to mind faint Lin Ziqi, only suggested to Qin Wan, ”Little sister, better return to the Qin Family for the night, I and Brother Heng will notify the Lin Family.”

Qin Wan’s eyes reddened, lowered her pink neck, ”Thanks to Young Master Nantang for speaking for me, and to my big brother for still considering us. But, being married, it inevitably involves me.

Father’s side... I’ll visit to explain in a few days, today it’s still Mid-Autumn...

Please, big brother, help explain a bit, so father won’t worry, nor mother be saddened.”

Constrained by identity, Qin Yuan swallowed words back down.

It was Gu Baoshu who couldn’t hold back, saying, ”Your Qin Family thinks too much, should it be me, I would have knocked that concubine’s teeth out. As for the Lin Family...”

Qin Heng said, ”Auntie Baozhu, you and I are children, how can you care for adults’ business.”

Unmarried ones are children.

Married ones are adults.

Gu Baoshu fell silent.

Qin Wan smiled, ”Brother Heng, please help lift your brother-in-law. I have a carriage, let’s take him to a clinic for a look, wonder if Sai Bianque is free.”

Qin Heng shouted, ”Xiao Dong, Xiao Dong, come help check on my brother-in-law.”

While going to assist.
