A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min
Chapter 301: Smoke coming out of the ancestral grave?
Shen Zhixiu and Zhao Ji did not stay for long. After exchanging a few words, they went to the outer courtyard.
Although Gu Jinlan lowered his head, his peripheral vision kept watching Shen Zhixiu's back until he walked away and could no longer be seen clearly.
Su Yihui sneered in her heart. She had to let Su Qingyu taste what she had tasted.
Throughout the morning, the Su family's inner courtyard was full of guests. Su Xiangling was busier than her sisters because she was now very popular in the capital, so many people wanted to make friends with her.
It seemed like Su Yihui and Gu Jinlan got along particularly well, and the two of them were always sticking together.
Soon it was time to celebrate the birthday, and the younger generation of the Su family came forward to kowtow and present gifts.
When Su Qingyu presented the gift, Shen Zhixiu couldn't help but twitch his lips. Bringing funeral objects that hadn't been buried to celebrate his birthday, his wife was really... frugal.
However, no one paid attention to what Su Qingyu gave during the birthday celebration today, because halfway through the celebration, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to deliver a gift.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that His Royal Highness was honoring the Su family and Su Xiangling. What he gave was not important; what was important was that His Royal Highness valued the Su family.
For the Su family, this was a double blessing. For a time, Su Xiangling was in the limelight. Some guests even whispered that if the Su family was lucky, they would have a queen and rise to prominence in the near future.
Su Shunci muttered quietly, "Is there smoke coming out of the Su family's ancestral tomb? Didn't my third cousin say that the mountain over there is on fire?"
After the birthday greetings, there was a banquet. Today the palace had invited a troupe of actors, so after dinner, everyone could go and listen to the performance.
Su Yihui pulled Gu Jinlan aside and said, "Cousin, what's wrong with you? Why were you so absent-minded just now?"
Gu Jinlan's eyes flickered. Could it be that she was noticed to be unusual? She grabbed the corner of her clothes awkwardly, a little flustered.
In fact, Su Yihui didn't pay any attention to her at all. She said this just to lead to the next words.
"What's wrong with you?" He pretended to be enlightened, "You are like this after Mr. Shen San left. You were staring at him before. Could it be that you are?"
Gu Jinlan's face immediately turned red, "Third cousin, stop talking, I didn't."
Su Yihui looked around and pulled Gu Jinlan to the tree behind the wing room. There were not many people there.
"Why are you shy? If you really like it, you have to fight for it yourself."
Gu Jinlan twisted her hands together subconsciously, "Fight for it myself? How dare I do that? My cousin seems to be difficult to get along with. If she knew I had this in mind, she would tear me apart, right?"
Su Yihui sneered and advised confidently: "Why would she tear you apart? Does she still want to be a jealous woman? As long as you can get close to Elder Shen, she will have no say in this matter."
Gu Jinlan was still confused, "What does cousin mean by 'getting involved'?"
"Don't you understand this?" Su Yihui whispered a few words into Gu Jinlan's ear.
The corners of Gu Jinlan's eyes curved upward, and a light unconsciously appeared in his eyes.
"Is that okay?"
Su Yihui showed a triumphant smile, "Why not? There are many marriages in Beijing that were arranged this way."
"Even if I'm married, I'll have to rely on this method to find a good marriage."
Gu Jinlan pursed her lips tightly, thinking that Su Yihui's idea was good, but she was a little scared. Thinking of that old man Shen, she admired him but also felt a little timid. A man like that was out of her reach. Now someone told her that she had a chance to get close to him, how could she not be tempted.
Even though she knew she would fall off a cliff, she still wanted to give it a try.
Thinking of this, Gu Jinlan felt a little flustered, but he still made up his mind to fight for a good future for himself.

The Su family was in a festive mood, but the courtyards of the concubines were not included. The concubines could not go out to meet guests, or even go out for a walk as usual.
When Su Yihui entered, Aunt Xue was doing needlework. Seeing her coming, she looked up and asked, "Why are you here at this time?"
Aunt Xue didn't know about Su Yihui's miscarriage, and Su Yihui didn't plan to tell her. Even if she did, Aunt Xue couldn't help, and could only worry in vain.
"There are many guests at my grandmother's place, so I came to see my aunt and no one noticed. How is my aunt these days? Is that little bitch still bullying you?"
When talking about the new concubine in the mansion, Aunt Xue's face changed. But she was afraid that her daughter would worry, so she comforted her: "Don't worry about me, they dare not do anything to me."
It's just that she's a new favorite, so she's a little tricky. When she was favored, she didn't take people seriously.
Su Yihui knew that her aunt was probably trying to comfort her. But she herself was in trouble in the Zhao family, and there was not much she could do for her aunt. Yesterday, she returned to the mansion to entertain guests and gave gifts to her second aunt, hoping that they could take care of her aunt.
"When my brother is released from the Ministry of Justice, I will have hope for my future. Now that my father has only this one son, the title will naturally belong to my brother."
After thinking for a while, Su Yihui said, "Auntie, you have to keep an eye on those two vixens and don't let them get pregnant."
Aunt Xue's mouth twitched, wanting to say that Su Yuankai was not in the Ministry of Justice, but she didn't dare to say it in the end.
He only said, "Whether your elder brother can inherit the title depends on the eldest lady's opinion."
Su Yihui looked displeased, "As a married daughter, how can she care about the inheritance of the title by her brothers?"
She has been waiting for this day for a long time, and she will not be able to sleep or eat unless she takes revenge on Su Qingyu.
Because of Su Qingyu, Zhao Ji only used a sedan chair to bring her into the mansion. It was also because of Su Qingyu that Zhao Ji had been lukewarm towards her after marriage.
She didn't know what was going on at first, but after spending a large sum of money to bribe the people around Zhao Ji, she realized that Zhao Ji was trying to please Su Qingyu.
And the last time regarding the transfer order for Second Uncle, it was Su Qingyu who hinted to Zhao Ji behind his back.
If Su Qingyu hadn't done those little tricks behind her back, she wouldn't have been bullied by the aunt in the backyard, and she wouldn't have been left without anyone to rely on in her natal family.
Why did she live such a life, while Su Qingyu was able to thrive in the inner house of the Shen family? On the day of her miscarriage, she hated her aunt who harmed her, and Zhao Ji who did nothing, but she hated Su Qingyu the most.
She insisted on returning home today just to give Su Qingyu a fatal blow.
Thinking of this, Su Yihui gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. From today onwards, her good days will be over."
When Gu Jinlan becomes a concubine in the Shen family, she doesn't believe that she won't be upset and angry. By then, she will become a jealous woman like her. Shen Zhixiu will naturally become the next Zhao Ji. A cat that has eaten fish can no longer eat vegetarian food.
Su Yihui's words and the ferocious smile on her face frightened Aunt Xue.
"What did you do? What did you do to your big sister?"
Aunt Xue asked hysterically, and pulled Su Yihui roughly and awkwardly, as if Su Yihui was not her daughter, but Su Qingyu was.
