Marquis Gu did not ride a horse; instead, he got into Qin Yuan's carriage. Hong Ye and Cui Ming, with understanding, went to the smaller carriage in the back, squeezing in with the nanny.
Once the carriage exited the alley, Marquis Gu asked, "Why did you come to the Lin Mansion today?"
Qin Yuan sighed, "Is it not because my brother-in-law is unfaithful, saying a cousin came from the countryside seeking refuge, when in fact they were already having an affair, and she is pregnant."
A peculiar smile appeared on Marquis Gu's face.
"I'm not saying this, but some scholars are just too sentimental."
Qin Yuan glanced at him and said, "Indeed, my brother-in-law cannot help being overly tender towards beauty."
She glanced at him again, with a puzzled expression, and said, "Could this be a common weakness among men? Favoring those women who appear delicate?"
