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

After they exchanged greetings, Prince Qi smiled, ”Third Sister-in-law, this is our second meeting.”

Qin Yuan replied softly, ”I must thank Prince Qi for coming to the rescue last time. I haven’t had the chance to visit your mansion to express my gratitude yet, please do not take offense.”

Prince Qi glanced at Gu Jinghui before saying, ”How could I take offense? It’s I who should apologize for my men’s recklessness last time, which inconvenienced you. Fortunately, Third Brother isn’t blaming me anymore, otherwise, I’d never dare step into the Dingbei Marquis Mansion again.”

Qin Yuan understood Prince Qi and Marquis Gu had already discussed the matter. It seemed Prince Qi’s supposed act of rescue was merely a facade, as she smiled slightly.

After greetings, everyone sat accordingly.

At this point, no one pursued Gu Baoshu’s matter, so she relaxed and positioned herself to listen to the conversation openly.

Gu Baoshu was quite curious about this elegant Prince Qi.

After exchanging pleasantries, Old Madam Gu asked, ”What brings Your Highness here today?”

Prince Qi hesitated, pondering for a moment before saying, ”Madam, frankly speaking, I’ve been searching for a unique incense across all the stores in the Capital City, including Ranxiang Inn’s Manager Leng, whom I’ve visited multiple times.”

The Old Madam recognized it related to Qin Yuan’s incense, smiling, ”What type of unique incense is Your Highness looking for? This old lady, though older, has some knowledge.”

Prince Qi laughed, ”I knew the Old Madam has seen a lot and might know.”

Gu Jinghui said indifferently, ”Even if my mother remembers, so what? Someone needs to be able to create it.”

Prince Qi sighed, ”Third Brother always dampens the spirits.”

As he said this, his gaze seemed to sweep around inadvertently, noticing Qin Yuan sitting normally.

Prince Qi sighed again.

Qiujie came to serve tea, and Prince Qi took a sip, praising, ”The tea here at the Old Madam’s is indeed the best, far better than what I had in Third Brother’s study.”

Old Madam Gu laughed, ”That’s for sure, Hui’er is rough. In the Northern Border, he’s busy fighting wars and can’t afford to be particular. His companions are crude men preferring wine and meat, likely drinking more wine than tea in their lives. Before marrying, his attendants were servants, and everything was managed by Sixteen, how refined could it be?”
