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

Su Qingyu didn't want to get off the car here, so she told Feicui, "Take my third cousin to the side hall of the west courtyard to serve tea. I'll go back and change my clothes and then come over."

A quarter of an hour later, Su Qingyu changed her clothes and went to the side hall in the west courtyard.

When I went in, Lin Wuchen was sitting calmly drinking tea.

"My third cousin just mentioned Su Yuankai. What happened to Su Yuankai?"

Lin Wuchen motioned for her to sit down and said, "Su Yuankai ran away."

Su Qingyu was startled, a little surprised, "ran away?"

"To be precise, he was rescued by someone." Lin Wuchen finished speaking, and lowered his head to take a sip of tea. "This top-grade purple bamboo shoot tastes really good. Make some for me later."

Su Qingyu nodded, turned around and told Zhenzhu to prepare the tea.

"Has the person been found? Was he taken away by Su Yihui?"

Lin Wuchen's gentle eyes showed a layer of surprise, "How did you know?"

Su Qingyu also imitated what he had just done and drank a sip of tea pretending to be calm.

"Guess."

Based on her understanding of Lin Wuchen, if someone went missing, Lin Wuchen's first reaction would definitely not be to come to her place and calmly drink tea, but to dig deep into the ground to look for that person.

If one can talk so calmly about someone running away, it must mean that the problem has been solved and the person has been found.

As for the person who is capable and willing to rescue Su Yuankai, it is only Su Yihui.

When Lin Wuchen heard her say that it was just a guess, he shrugged and said in a long tone: "As the saying goes, a person is corrupted by the company of others. How come you have so many tricks after marrying Shen Zhixiu?"

Su Qingyu put down the teacup and rolled her eyes at him, "You made me say that, as if I were stupid."

Lin Wuchen said hurriedly: "Not stupid, how could my cousin be stupid. Then what do you think of Su Yuankai?"

"Where is he? He can't be in the Duke of Weiguo's mansion, right?" Su Qingyu asked.

Lin Wuchen nodded.

"The person was placed in the back house next to the small door on the west side of the Duke of Wei's mansion. If we force him out, it might alert the Zhao family."

"How about I do it tonight?"

"Anyway, even if the Zhao family is alarmed, Shen Zhixiu will clean up the mess for me."

Su Qingyu raised her hand to stop Lin Wuchen from speaking, "Don't worry about him. Send your people to keep an eye on him nearby. If he doesn't leave the Zhao family, ignore him for now."

She didn't want the Su family's scandal to be known to everyone. Moreover, it involved Aunt Xue and Li Yunzhou's background.

Lin Wuchen agreed, stood up and went out to tell people to do their job.

Su Qingyu sent Feicui back to the Su family to confirm whether Aunt Xue had told anyone about her brother. Her green fingers tapped the armrests of the chair. It seemed that after she was done with Ah Ci's affairs, she would need to control Aunt Xue.

Half an hour later, Feicui came back to report that she had confirmed that Aunt Xue had not told anyone about the incident.

Early the next morning, Shen Zhixiu went to court, while Su Qingyu got up, put on makeup and combed her hair, preparing to go to Yushu Hutong to accompany Su Shunci.

Shen Yue also went with her, holding a gift from the old lady to Su Shunci.

When they arrived at Yushu Hutong, Su Shunci and Bai Sulian were already dressed.

Su Shunci was wearing a honey pink long Su satin dress and a gold filigree hairpin. When she saw Su Qingyu and Shen Yue coming, she held up her skirt and went out to greet them, letting them in.

Not long after the two arrived, Lin Wuchen also came, holding an exquisite red lacquered wooden box in his hand.

"This headgear is for you, put it on."

Lin Wuchen stuffed the box in his hand into Su Shunci's hand.

Su Shunci didn't understand what was going on. When she opened the box, she gasped in surprise, "Third cousin, this... this is too expensive. I can't take it."

Inside is a complete set of gold-inlaid gemstone carved headpieces. The patterns carved out of the gemstones are exquisite and delicate, and each line is just right. It is obvious that it was made by a master.

Su Qingyu also took a look and thought that the third cousin was indeed the young master of the Lin family. The materials and labor costs for this set of headgear would cost at least 18,000 taels. The third cousin gave it to her without blinking an eye.

Seeing Su Shunci push the box back, Lin Wuchen stuffed it back in unhappily.

"It's given to you, so just wear it. For an occasion like this, you should dress up high so that others won't look down on you."

Lin Wuchen sighed inwardly, why is this girl so worrying?

Su Qingyu stepped forward, closed the jewelry box, and said, "Since this headdress is for Fourth Sister, I will accept it on her behalf. Thank you for your expense, cousin. But this headdress can only be kept as a dowry, and cannot be worn today."

Lin Wuchen was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Seeing how confidently my cousin spoke, is there any rule here?

Su Qingyu explained, "Cousin, for a family like the Loyalty Marquis's, there are rules for the ceremony. One of the rules is that the elders of the Song family have to comb Fourth Sister's hair again and put on the head ornaments and jewelry given by the Song family."

"Today, Fourth Sister can only wear a decent set. Otherwise, if the one prepared by the Song family is worse than what Fourth Sister wears, it will be embarrassing for everyone."

Lin Wuchen suddenly realized that he had almost done something bad with good intentions.

He hurriedly said, "Then Fourth Cousin, please keep this headgear and save it as a dowry in the future."

Su Shunci blushed, turned around with the box and handed it to the maid.

Afraid that Su Qingyu and Lin Wuchen would talk about dowry again, she went to the side and started chatting with Shen Yue.

Su Qingyu shook her head. She was still a little girl after all. No matter how smart she was in public, she would still feel embarrassed when talking about getting married.

After a few people chatted for a while, they heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from outside.

A little maid ran in happily, "Miss, Miss, someone from the Song family is here to pick up the relatives."

Bai Sulian stood up immediately, straightened her clothes and headdress, and looked at Su Qingyu nervously, "Miss, is it okay for me to look like this?"

After thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't I not go? Will it embarrass Ah Ci if I go?"

Su Qingyu knew that she was feeling inferior, so she held her shoulders and comforted her, "Aunt Lian, it's good for you to be like this. You are Ah Ci's biological mother, how can you not go?"

"Don't worry Aunt Lian, the Song family likes Ah Ci, and Wan Wan and Ah Ci get along well, so they made this decision. These false reputations are not important."

"Auntie Lian, just treat others with sincerity. I'll take care of the rest."

Bai Sulian took two deep breaths and said, "I'll remember it."

In addition to Song Wanwan, the ones who came to pick up the godparents included the eldest son of the Song family, Song Hongyuan, the son of the Marquis of Loyalty.

The fact that Song Hongyuan was able to come and pick someone up shows how much importance the Song family attaches to this matter.

After exchanging some greetings, everyone got on the carriage and headed to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty.

The recognition ceremony had an auspicious time, so when Su Qingyu and the others arrived, they were led to the inner courtyard to talk to the old lady. Lin Wuchen, accompanied by the Song brothers, had tea and chatted in the outer courtyard.

Those who came today were all close friends of the Song family. Although there were not many people, any one of them was well-known in the capital.

On Su Qingyu's left was the head of the Wang clan of Langya, the wife of the Minister of Justice Wang Jian. She was also the sister-in-law of the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty Wang, and Song Wanwan's aunt.

At this time, Mrs. Wang was talking to Bai Sulian with a friendly attitude, without any airs of a lady of the Wang family.

With the friendly attitude of everyone in the Song family, Bai Sulian's nervous mood was relieved.

Everyone was chatting happily when another little maid came in and quietly walked over to Old Madam Song.

"Madam, the Marquis of Pingning is here, but he didn't bring an invitation. The concierge couldn't make up his mind, so he sent someone in to ask."
