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

Shen Zhiheng did have concubines around him, but when Chen was around, he trained them to be submissive and useless.

Chen was still alive, and Shen Zhiheng could not remarry. He could only take a concubine to take care of the chores in his courtyard.

Li Chaoyun is now in charge of most of the affairs of the eldest house, but no matter how much he manages, he cannot extend his hand to the father-in-law's yard.

The old lady had thought about this matter years ago and had privately selected two suitable candidates. Both were girls from small families in Beijing, with straightforward personalities and generous manners.

Of course, she hadn't confirmed it completely yet, so she had to ask Shen Zhiheng first. Seeing Shen Cheng like this today, she became a little anxious.

Li Chaoyun raised her eyebrows when she heard this, picked up the teacup and took a sip without saying anything. As long as it didn't involve her interests, she would not take it seriously.

Su Qingyu naturally didn't say anything and just teased Shen Qian on the side.

The old lady looked at Shen Zhiheng, waiting for his reply.

Shen Zhiheng lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly coughed twice and drank some warm water to suppress it.

"Let's just pick Xiangdong. Let her take care of the affairs of my yard from now on."

The old lady was not surprised, because she knew that Shen Zhiheng had been doting on Xiangdong these days.

It is appropriate to say that Xiangdong is in charge of these things. She was originally a first-class maid in Qingyuanju, and later she was in charge of the warehouse. She can check the accounts and manage things, and she works seriously.

But the old lady had one concern, and that was Su Qingyu.

When Su Qingyu first became the housekeeper, Xiangdong used the old man's painting to plot against her, which almost made Su Qingyu lose face. If she hadn't been pregnant, she would have killed her at that time.

She was afraid that Su Qingyu would feel uncomfortable if she praised Xiangdong now.

So the old lady didn't speak for a long time, gently stroking the tourmaline beads in her hand.

Shen Zhiheng couldn't guess what the old lady meant, so he said, "Mother, Xiangdong..."

The old lady raised her hand, interrupted Shen Zhiheng, and looked at Su Qingyu again.

"Third daughter-in-law, you are in charge of the mansion now, what do you think?"

At this moment, Su Qingyu was holding Shen Qian and playing with her fingers. When she heard the old lady ask her about it, Su Qingyu was startled at first.

Then, as if she understood what was going on, she smiled and said, "When Concubine Xiang was in charge of the warehouse, she was very capable. If she is in charge of Big Brother's yard, she is indeed more suitable than others."

"I admire Concubine Xiang's character. She will be in charge of my eldest brother's yard in the future. If she doesn't understand something, she can send someone to ask me."

When the old lady saw that Su Qingyu didn't seem to be speaking perfunctorily, she knew that she no longer took the matter seriously.

"Then it's settled. From now on, let Xiangdong take care of the trivial matters in your yard."

Shen Zhiheng nodded, covering his mouth and nose with a dark blue cotton handkerchief, as if he was trying hard to hold back a cough.

The old lady frowned and looked at him, "Why hasn't your cough healed yet? Please ask Mr. Zhou to take a look at you."

Shen Zhiheng shook his head and said, "No need, mother, don't worry. I know my own body well."

The old lady wanted to say something else, but Shen Zhiheng had already stood up and took Shen Cheng's hand to leave.

After leaving Qingyuan Residence, Shen Cheng looked down at his clothes and said, "From now on, I will wash my face by myself. I won't bother my father."

Today, for some reason, his father insisted on washing his face, and even stained his collar. Fortunately, his third aunt was gentle and helped him clean it up.

Shen Zhiheng lowered his head and looked at Shen Cheng, "At noon, Aunt Xiang made your favorite roasted lamb leg. Do you want to eat it?"

Shen Cheng nodded quickly, showing a shy smile, "Go."

Aunt Xiang was also very kind to him, and his father often took him to visit her during this period.

Shen Zhiheng took Shen Cheng's hand and walked towards Xiangdong's yard.

On the way, she said, "Aunt Xiang treats you well, so you should treat her well too."

"When you grow up, in addition to respecting your grandmother, uncle and aunt, you must also respect Aunt Xiang."

"There are bad guys bullying her, you have to protect her."

……

After Shen Zhiheng left, Li Chaoyun and Yang also got up and left. Because they were going to Zhao's house together, the old lady asked Su Qingyu to stay at Qingyuanju for breakfast.

After breakfast, the servants loaded the things to be taken to the Zhao family into the car, and Su Qingyu and Shen Yue helped the old lady change her clothes for going out.

But before she could go out, a maid from the west courtyard came to report that the Su family had sent someone to invite her because Old Madam Su missed her granddaughter.

Su Qingyu naturally didn't believe it. Would her grandmother miss her? Either she wanted her money, or she wanted her to do things for the Su family.

Old Madam Shen patted Su Qingyu's hand and said, "Concubine Su had an accident yesterday. The Su family should have known about it. Go back and comfort your grandmother."

Su Qingyu could only respond with a "yes", then sent the old lady and Shen Yue to the car, and she left the house and went to the Su family.

It goes without saying that it must be about Su Xiangling.

But Su Xiangling had already been executed, so it was useless to look for her. And she had already pleaded for the Su family in the hall yesterday, which was enough to shut up her grandmother.

The carriage entered the Su family's house, and Su Qingyu got off at the second gate. As soon as she got off, she saw another carriage coming in, and the person getting off was Su Shunci.

Su Shunci wore a red feather satin cape with peony patterns and a red gold hairpin with a flowery face. The stamens were embedded with two rice-sized pearls, which were of excellent quality.

She had also grown a lot taller, and her face had lost its childishness, gaining a bit of the delicate beauty that only a young girl could have.

Su Qingyu looked the girl up and down. When she was reborn, Ah Ci was still like a child. It has only been more than a year, and she can stand on her own outside. Now she is not only the adopted daughter of the Song family, but also the hostess of Huajin Pavilion.

Su Qingyu felt a sense of relief that her daughter had grown up.

Su Shunci stepped forward to pay her respects to her elder sister, and then happily took Su Qingyu's hand, "Big sister, I haven't seen you for a few days."

The two of them did not take the sedan chair, but planned to walk to Songhe Hall so that they could talk on the way.

Su Shunci looked around and saw that the two were surrounded by their confidants, so she asked mysteriously, "I heard that Su Xiangling was executed by slow slicing because she wanted to murder the Crown Prince. Is that true?"
