A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min
Chapter 30: Elevating your wife?
Su Chengye was also in a mess at this time. This incident happened so suddenly that he hadn't thought about it carefully.
Seeing the old lady asking, she said, "Since you know everything, then take Ruoyun as your concubine. The reason why we kept it a secret before is because her identity is somewhat special."
"As for those things... I gave them to her to relieve her boredom."
"The corruption of ink needs to be investigated in detail. It may also be a random attack by a servant."
After talking, it was clear that he wanted to keep Gu Ruoyun.
Su Qingyu suddenly said: "As a daughter, I have no right to interfere with my father's concubinage. But all those things must be taken back."
Su Chengye frowned and looked at Su Qingyu, "What are you talking about? There is no reason to bring back something that was given to my father."
Su Qingyu snorted and said, "Father, have you forgotten that the money you spent to buy these things was all earned from my mother's dowry industry."
"This money can support the people of the Su family and buy a dowry for my concubine. This is also my mother's responsibility as the wife of the Marquis."
"But... I can't spend it on a shameless mistress. Everything found in Shaohua Hall today will go directly into the public treasury. Why would she, a cousin living in the Su family, take the money from my Su family?"
Su Qingyu looked at Aunt Xue again, "Auntie, what do you think? The third sister's dowry hasn't been paid yet, but she wants to take advantage of outsiders. It doesn't make sense."
"Will these good things become my cousin's dowry? I won't be willing to do so."
Cheng Ruijin saw that the topic had fallen on her head, and the grievances she had been feeling came to her mind. She stood up and glared at Su Qingyu, "Who do you say is an outsider? I..."
Before the words left his mouth, he was interrupted by Gu Ruoyun, "Rujin, step aside, you have no place to speak here."
Su Qingyu smiled sweetly. She knew that Gu Ruoyun did not dare to admit that Cheng Rujin was a bloodline of the Su family, and she did not even dare to admit that Su Yuanche was her son.
Gu Ruoyun came to the Su family less than five years ago, Cheng Rujin was fifteen years old, and Su Yuanche was five years old. If the bloodline of these siblings was really confirmed, then she, Gu Ruoyun, would be a slut who had an affair behind her husband's back, and it would be unacceptable in heaven. .
Seeing this, Aunt Xue quickly agreed and said, "What the eldest lady said makes sense. Madam has worked hard for this family. If she knew that the Marquis did such a thing, she might be sad."
"Let's just say that our sisters are not dedicated to serving the Marquis. If you get involved with someone like her, the entire Su family will be laughed at if word spreads."
As Aunt Xue spoke, she winked at Aunt Lian. Aunt Lian didn't want to say anything, but when she thought of her wife who was still raising a fetus, she felt aggrieved.
He opened his mouth and said, "The person you are most sorry for, Mr. Marquis, is the madam for doing this."
Seeing that he had aroused public anger, Su Chengye was in trouble for a while. Before coming, he promised Gu Ruoyun to help her keep these belongings, but now he couldn't help it.
Gu Ruoyun looked at Su Chengye with a pair of phoenix eyes. Others could not understand the deep meaning in his eyes, but Su Chengye could see it clearly.
As soon as his mind changed, he had an idea.
He coughed twice and said, "I'll just listen to you. All these things should go into the public account. However, Ruoyun has suffered a lot of grievances with me these years. I want to treat her as an equal wife."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned for a moment, including the old lady.
In aristocratic families, there is no such thing as a equal wife. A equal wife is the beginning of disrupting the dignity of concubines. The head of the family began to pamper his concubines and destroy his wives, and the family was not far from decline.
The old lady reached out and patted the table, "No, there is no such rule."
Su Chengye refused to give in. "Mother, Ruoyun is already very wronged by being a co-wife. If we don't publicize it, others won't stare at our backyard and talk about it."
After saying that, he patted Gu Ruoyun's hand again to express comfort.
Aunt Xue looked at Su Qingyu, hoping that the eldest lady could say a few more words to drive Gu Ruoyun out.
Su Qingyu continued to drink tea with her head down. She didn't care how Su Chengye wanted to promote Gu Ruoyun. Anyway, the higher you lift it, the harder the Su family will fall.
And she could also tell that her father probably had some leverage in Gu Ruoyun's hands.
Su Chengye was very determined on the issue of equalizing his wife, so the old lady looked at Su Qingyu.
"Qingyu, what do you say? Logically speaking, you should ask your mother about this matter."
Su Qingyu raised her head and said: "Grandma, this is a matter in my father's room. How can I get in the way? As for my mother, don't ask. Her health is important. Don't dirty her with these nasty and dirty things." ears."
A disgusting and dirty sentence made Su Chengye and Gu Ruoyun's expressions fall again. Being laughed at by the elders and younger ones in the family, Su Chengye felt resentful in his chest and had nowhere to vent.
In the end, the old lady was no match for Su Chengye, and finally agreed to let Gu Ruoyun be his equal wife.
Su Qingyu had a calm look on her face. What if she became a common wife for a despicable person who wouldn't live long? By the time the mother returns home after giving birth, the grass on the graves of the mother and daughter may have grown up.
If you give her something sweet now, she will die faster.
Aunt Xue was resentful, while Aunt Lian was worried about affecting Lin's mood.
Not long after, another servant from Shaohuatang came in to report that several pieces of furniture had been burned and all the deeds of sale of the servants from Shaohuatang had been burned.
There were no other losses, and no servants were injured.
Before Gu Ruoyun could react, Su Qingyu took the lead and said, "Don't worry, cousin, I will send someone to the Yamen to reissue the deed of betrayal."
Gu Ruoyun frowned and wanted to say not to bother her, but then remembered that re-applying the deed of betrayal required a seal from the government, which she had no right to do, so she could only suppress her uneasiness and thank Su Qingyu.
When Gu Ruoyun saw that Su Qingyu had no objection to the egalitarianism of his wife, he thought that it was just the child who was being forced by the outside.
"Master Marquis, Shaohua Hall has been burned down now, and it may take some time to repair it. Since my wife is raising her baby in Zhuangzi, and Ziwei Garden is empty, why don't I go and stay for a while first."
Su Qingyu almost laughed out loud after hearing Gu Ruoyun's words. Now she dared to blatantly covet the position of mistress?
"Cousin, I have to give up the vacant place to you? The post has been vacant for many years. Do I want to send you to the palace?"
Her words made Su Chengye's face darken. "What are you talking about? Can you say such things casually?"
"I just want to say that people should clearly understand their own position and don't think about what is not theirs."
The old lady said nothing while twirling the small leaf beads in her hand, squinting her eyes slightly, showing no emotion or anger on her face.
Only after Su Qingyu said this, she said: "Ruoyun can take the children to live with me first. The yard has been repaired for five or seven days."
"As for elevating your wife, you don't need to publicize it to the outside world. Just have a meal at home."
Gu Ruoyun knew that the old lady did not agree with this matter in her heart, so she could only say yes obediently, not daring to show any resentment. If you want to gain a foothold in this family, you must get the support of the old lady.
The cold wind was raging in the late winter night. When she left the main room of Songhe Hall, Su Qingyu gathered her fox fur cloak unconsciously.
After leaving the courtyard gate and walking in the direction of Bishui Pavilion, there were sudden rapid footsteps beside him.
"Su Qingyu, did you do this? Did you do it on purpose?"
Cheng Rujin chased after her angrily and grabbed Su Qingyu's sleeve.
