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

Su Qingyu's words shocked everyone present.

Wasn't it Lord Shen who took a concubine? How did it become Prince Zhao?

Su Yihui frowned and glared at Su Qingyu, "What nonsense are you talking about? What does this have to do with the prince?"

"I just thought a little more about my elder sister, and you resent me and slander me?"

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have gotten involved in these things. What does it have to do with me?"

Su Yihui looked aggrieved, and it was obvious that Su Qingyu was just holding a grudge and wanting revenge on her.

Su Qingyu was neither anxious nor annoyed, and still had a smile on her face.

"Don't be impatient, Third Sister. Let's get things straight first."

She turned to look at Shen Zhixiu, "Third Master, who rescued this cousin of the Gu family?"

Shen Zhixiu replied in a calm tone: "The one who saved him was Prince Zhao. He is still bathing and changing clothes. He should be coming out soon."

"Impossible, how could it be that the prince saved her?" Su Yihui asked back, but she felt that it was easy to reveal the clues. She continued, "I mean, didn't the little maid say that Lord Shen saved her?"

Su Qingyu looked at Su Yihui with a puzzled expression, "She didn't say that it was Lord Shen who saved the person. She only said that Lord Shen asked her to call for help. She didn't know who saved the person. She only saw that Lord Shen's clothes were wet."

"Third sister, I'm so confused. How come you're so sure that it was Third Master who saved the person? Did you see it when the accident happened?"

Su Yihui immediately turned her face away guiltily, "What are you talking about, big sister? How could I possibly see that?"

Su Qingyu sneered in her heart. She felt strange when Su Yihui and Gu Jinlan kept praising Shen Zhixiu. When they were paying their respects, she saw the two of them acting sneaky. So she sent someone to keep an eye on them. After the birthday banquet, Su Yihui went to see Aunt Xue, while Gu Jinlan went to the waterside pavilion.

She saw all these things clearly.

Even if Zhao Ji didn't jump at that time, Feicui would not let Shen Zhixiu jump.

Su Yihui thought she had done everything perfectly, but she didn't know that she had become more cautious after her rebirth and would investigate every clue thoroughly.

Madam Su and Madam Gu San didn't care about these things at this time, and went to see Gu Jinlan first. Then the doctor came and said that the patient was not seriously ill, and asked to boil a soup to drive away the cold.

Seeing that Zhao Ji had not come out for a long time, Shen Zhixiu went in to check on him, only to find that Zhao Ji had fallen asleep on the couch.

The old lady and others moved to the hall at the side.

At this time, only Old Madam Su, the third and fourth wives of the Gu family, the second wife of the Shen family, Su Qingyu and Su Yihui were left in the hall.

As for the other guests, they were taken by servants to listen to operas and appreciate flowers.

Su Qingyu sat leisurely drinking tea, occasionally glancing at Su Yihui's already broken face.

After a long while, Madam Gu San said, "Since it was Prince Zhao who saved the person, then..."

The family background of the Duke of Wei is not worse than that of the Shen family, and this Prince Zhao is the heir to the Duke of Wei. Although he is a little old, it is still acceptable.

Moreover, under the current circumstances, it would be inappropriate for them to continue holding on to Lord Shen.

Su Yihui interrupted Mrs. Gu San before she finished speaking.

"Third cousin, the prince is saving people, how can you let my cousin come into the mansion as a concubine just because of this? This is too unfair to my cousin."

Su Qingyu put down the teacup and spoke, "Then Third Sister, do you not care about your cousin's reputation and integrity? You said before that you would never let your cousin's reputation be damaged and that you would take her as your concubine."

As expected, if you don't get hit by a stick, you will never feel pain. When Su Yihui talked about her just now, she was not righteous. Why did she change her face now?

Su Qingyu didn't say this, but Mrs. Gu San said, "What you just said about your elder sister, were they all lies?"

After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't know how my daughter fell into the water. Maybe someone is plotting against her behind her back. I have to ask carefully."

As she said this, Mrs. Gu stared at Su Yihui with a threatening look in her eyes.

Since Su Yihui knew about her daughter's fall into the water, she had something to do with it. If she stood in the way of her daughter's wealth and fame, she would fight to the death with her.

Su Yihui saw the deep meaning in Mrs. Gu's eyes, pursed her lips, and cursed Gu Jinlan for being useless. Such a simple matter, but such a big mistake happened.

But she really didn't want Gu Jinlan to come into the mansion. The concubines at home were already annoying enough for her. If she had another cousin, wouldn't she be even more upset?

While I was thinking about countermeasures, Zhao Ji and Shen Zhixiu walked in.

Madam Gu San cast her gaze directly at Zhao Ji, "Prince Zhao, you saved our daughter and helped her with chest compression. What do you want to do about this?"

Zhao Ji was confused for a moment, "What does the lady mean?"

Madam Gu San said, "My daughter has lost her reputation because of you. Do you have to be responsible for her?"

Shen Zhixiu whispered in Zhao Ji's ear: "She wants her daughter to be your concubine."

Zhao Ji looked at Shen Zhixiu and asked, "Is there such a good thing?"

Shen Zhixiu smiled helplessly. It was true that honey to one person is poison to another. He would never get involved with this concubine, but for Zhao Ji, it really had no effect.

Then Zhao Ji said to Mrs. Gu San: "I saved the person. If the Gu family feels that it has affected their daughter's reputation, then I can only take Miss Gu as my concubine."

Mrs. Gu San didn't expect him to agree so readily, and she was immediately delighted. She looked at Zhao Ji just like she looked at her son-in-law. It's just that the son-in-law and his mother-in-law are not much different in age.

Madam Su frowned, slightly dissatisfied. She still preferred that Gu Jinlan be Shen Zhixiu's concubine, because Shen Zhixiu was powerful and Su Qingyu was difficult to control. But since things had come to this, she couldn't say anything more.

Su Yihui stepped forward and said to Zhao Ji: "My Lord, taking a concubine is a big deal, please think twice."

Zhao Ji said nonchalantly, "It's no big deal. It's just a matter of having more rooms and more pairs of chopsticks. Let alone one, even if there are ten, this prince can afford it."

Su Yihui was so angry that her face turned blue, but she didn't dare to get angry. After marrying into the Zhao family, she realized that Zhao Ji was a man of passion and ruthlessness. He seemed to be good to all the concubines, and he was also good to her, the main wife. But in fact, no one could control him.

Su Qingyu shook her head secretly. The Gu family had really fallen. She thought being a concubine in the Duke of Wei's mansion was a glorious and respectable thing. In Zhao Ji's backyard, concubines were not as good as the respected maids in the mansion. Even Su Yihui, the main wife, could not get any benefits from Zhao Ji, let alone Gu Jinlan.

This matter had been going on for quite some time, and ended up like this. Except for Su Yihui, everyone else was satisfied with the result.

The old lady was thinking about the guests in the inner courtyard, so she said, "We will discuss the specific details of entering the mansion tomorrow. Let's go first, so as not to make a fool of ourselves by the guests."

He also instructed Nanny Yuan, "Send someone to watch over my cousin. When she feels better, take her back in a sedan chair. This wing is for changing clothes. It's not as comfortable as the guest house where she lives now."

Nanny Yuan said yes, and the old lady stood up and prepared to go back. Seeing this, everyone also got ready.

But suddenly, a woman's delicate and stern voice was heard outside.

"Let's go to grandma and ask her to judge the matter. I'll see if she won't break your legs."
