A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Su Qingyu changed into a pink loose pleated skirt, and her bun was changed into a comfortable cross bun. The whole person was lazily leaning on the Kang by the window, with a soft Suzhou embroidery pillow densely woven with gold thread cushioned behind him.

"Perfunctory? If the Su family dares to perfunctory, I dare to let them drink the northwest wind."

When she mentioned the Su family's ancestral grave before, it was purely to scare them. No matter how angry she was, she would not do anything to her ancestors. Besides, my grandfather’s grave is also buried there.

She can't move a dead person, but it's not easy for a living person.

"Go and ask Wen Zhu to come over. I have something for him to handle."

Not long after, Wenzhu walked in with his head lowered.

"Bless you, ma'am."

Su Qingyu ordered directly: "Look into the matter between the prince and Su Xiangling and find out how Su Xiangling is related to the prince."

"It would be better if we could find out what happened or what was said."

Wen Zhu kept the Third Master's words in mind. What the Madam ordered was as important as what the Third Master ordered.

"Yes, my subordinates will go check it out immediately. If there is any news, they will report it to Madam immediately."

"One more thing. The third master ordered people to guard Yushu Alley, but they were driven back."

Su Qingyu really didn't know about this. She knew that Shen Zhixiu was worried about her mother living alone with her servants.

"My mother is afraid of troublesome you."

Wenzhu nodded and waited for his wife's instructions. He originally wanted to ask the third master, but the third master was discussing something in the study.

Su Qingyu thought for a moment and said, "My cousin has already sent someone from Yunzhou to transfer some people to Beijing. I'll have to trouble your people to keep watch over them quietly in the next few days."

She knew her mother was afraid of troubling them, but she was really worried after something like this happened.

Wen Zhu assured: "Madam, don't worry, the people under Third Master will handle the matter well and they will not be discovered by Madam Waitai."

Su Qingyu couldn't help laughing. She became a lady, and her mother became a grandmother-in-law.

After sending Wenzhu away, Su Qingyu went to greet Mrs. Shen, and then started to look at the account books of the house these days.

On the second day after Su Qingyu went to the other courtyard, Shen Zhao set off to Wuling Chen's house to ask for money.

The old lady felt pity that Li Chaoyun was homesick just after getting married, so she allowed her to return to Shanjun Prince's Mansion to stay with her parents. So these days, the Shen family's inner house is surprisingly peaceful.

Mr. Qian's account books had been settled, and he returned to his hometown with his family. The new accountant was named Wu, and he used to work for Shen Zhixiu. He was very respectful to Su Qingyu and would ask her first about everything, big or small.

Since the last time the housekeepers and ladies took care of the kitchen and purchasing, the housekeepers and servants in the house have become more cautious than before. I was afraid that if I was not careful, I would offend the third lady's taboo. Su Qingyu, the housekeeper, is much more relaxed than before.

Before going to bed, Su Qingyu mentioned Su Chengyan's injury to Shen Zhixiu again.

"Third Master, the Su family won't cause trouble for Li Yunzhou, right?"

Shen Zhixiu shook his head and said: "Probably not. After all, it was the second uncle who made things difficult for me first. Even if this matter comes to Qianyang Palace, he will be the one who is at fault."

Su Qingyu sighed, "That's good. He is helping my mother, so don't get him into trouble."

In the past few months, Shen Zhixiu had told her a lot about Li Yunzhou's childhood. There were two times when she cried. Perhaps because of Shen Zhixiu's influence, she treated him as a junior and felt distressed every time he mentioned him.

Seeing that she was still thinking about this, Shen Zhixiu bowed his head to comfort her, "Don't worry, even if the Su family really does something weird, I will handle it."

Su Qingyu stopped talking after hearing this, and the two hugged each other and fell asleep.

The next morning, Shen Zhixiu went to court in a carriage as usual.

In the Qianyang Palace, Shen Zhixiu's position was second only to Chen Zheng, the chief minister of the cabinet.

There was nothing major going on today. I just talked about the defense of the northern border town in autumn and the harvest in Jiangnan this year.

Seeing that the court meeting was about to end, a sound of "dong-dong-dong" suddenly came from outside.

Not only the civil and military officials were shocked, but even Emperor Xuande changed his expression.

"Who is beating the Dengwen drum?" Emperor Xuande asked in a deep voice.

Hu Lu, the chief eunuch beside him, had already turned around and sent someone to check.

The courtiers also whispered that the Dengwen drum had not sounded for several years.

The Dengwen Drum was established by Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty in order to express public sentiment and supervise all officials.

There are two Dengwen drums in the capital. One is in Dali Temple. People who beat the drums can sue officials or skip the level.

There is another one outside the Huangji Gate, where only officials of high rank are qualified to knock. They can file a complaint with the emperor or directly impeach the cabinet.

As soon as the drum sounds, no one knows who is going to be in trouble.

The expressions of Chen Zheng, Shen Zhixiu, and several senior officials from the Six Departments and Nine Ministers did not change. Standing motionless, a few of them squinted their eyes as if they were about to fall asleep.

The young speakers at Liu Ke Gallery were full of excitement. They liked this kind of new thing the most.

Not long after, a chamberlain came in to report.

"Your Majesty, the one who is beating the drum is Su Chengyan, the commander of the Forbidden Army."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Zhixiu's eyebrows moved slightly. Su Chengyan? What was he doing beating the drum?

There was another person above the main hall whose expression changed greatly, that is Pingning Hou Su Chengye. He had no idea about Su Chengyan coming to beat the drum. I was also extremely suspicious, where was the second brother causing trouble?

Emperor Xuande frowned, "Su Chengyan? From Pingninghou Mansion?"

When he asked this, Su Chengye hurried forward to answer, "Your Majesty, Su Chengyan is my second brother. He was stationed in Qianzhou before, and was recently transferred back to the capital."

As for Su Chengyan's visit to the city gate, he voluntarily concealed it.

"Then let him go to the palace."

Not long after, Su Chengyan went up to Qianyang Hall. His head was wrapped in white gauze and he walked with a limp.

He walked to the middle of the hall, knelt down, raised his voice, and spoke righteously.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report. Yesterday when I was inspecting the city gate, I found someone bringing something disrespectful into the city."

"When I wanted to investigate in detail, I was pushed to the ground by Li Yunzhou, the fourth young master of the Li family. He relied on his status to block the inspection and took the man into the city."

"I knew the matter was of great importance and did not dare to alarm others, so I beat the Dengwen drum."
