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

Su Shunci heard about this incident when she arrived at the shop in the morning. But she didn't hear the whole story, so she didn't know the details. She wanted to ask Song Wanwan about it in the afternoon, but her grandmother sent someone to tell her.

Su Qingyu briefly told her what had happened, and also told her the part that everyone had seen.

Hearing Su Shunci sighing, she added, "I was just busy, and my grandmother sent someone to tell me that she missed me. There were a lot of people watching in the shop, so I had to come back."

"If you ask me, she did it on purpose. She sent someone to the shop to look for me because she knew I couldn't refuse."

This was the first time Su Shunci returned home after being kicked out of the Su family.

If the old lady sent someone to order her to return home today, she really would not come back.

But the person who went there was eloquent, saying that the old lady missed her granddaughter so much that she couldn't eat or sleep well. He hoped that Su Shunci could understand the old lady and come back to the mansion to visit her and talk to her.

Although Su Shunci was driven out of the Su family, she was still the daughter of the Su family and the granddaughter of the old lady. This was a fact that could never be erased. With so many people watching, if she refused or said something merciless, tomorrow the capital would spread rumors that she was disobedient and unfilial, cold-blooded and heartless.

Not only did she have a business, but she was also related to the Song family. Although she didn't care about her reputation, she couldn't really ruin it.

Su Qingyu was afraid that the old lady would make excessive demands, so she told Su Shunci, "Don't pay attention to what grandma says. If it's hard to refuse, push it to me."

Su Shunci said yes and started talking to Su Qingyu about the shop.

"Big sister, I've been checking accounts these days. When I'm done, I'll share the money I earned with you and mother. My third cousin is also checking accounts, and he wants to share the money with you."

The cotton crop from last winter made a lot of money. Even if a portion of it was used for disaster relief, she and Lin Wuchen still made a lot of money.

But the capital for this batch of cotton was provided by Lin Wanyin and Su Qingyu. So Su Shunci decided to give the bulk to her mother and elder sister, and she would only take a small portion of the hard-earned money.

When Su Qingyu heard that Lin Wuchen wanted to give her some money, she smiled and said, "I would be embarrassed to ask for his money."

Then he said, "Let him take us to Fanjinlou someday and make us two sets of headgear."

Su Shunci couldn't help laughing, and briefly explained the accounts to Su Qingyu.

Su Qingyu didn't ask Su Shunci how to divide it, and said directly: "You return the capital to me and mother, and the remaining profit will be divided equally among the three of us."

Su Shunci hurriedly said, "How can that be possible? I just contributed some effort, and I didn't spend much money."

Even the cotton cloth was bought with money given by her elder sister. The money earned this time was not a small amount, how could she take so much?

Su Qingyu knew she would say that, so she didn't argue with her and just made the final decision.

"Just do as I say. What? Now that you've grown up, you don't listen to your big sister anymore?"

How could she not know how hard Ah Ci worked? She deserved all this money. Besides, she hadn't gotten married yet, so it wouldn't hurt to have more money.

Su Qingyu was afraid that she would think too much, so she comforted her, "Just divide it according to what I said, and mother won't have any objections."

Su Shunci felt a warm feeling in her heart. She was so lucky to be loved and cared for by her mother and elder sister.

Today, the servants of the Su family all had solemn expressions, walked silently, and dared not even to talk or laugh.

Early in the morning, the news of the second young lady's death was reported back to the mansion. Talking and playing at this time would offend the master.

On the way, Su Qingyu met the housekeeper Su Zhong, and stopped him and asked, "Uncle Zhong, has the family known about my second sister? How is my grandmother?"

Su Zhong stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings to the eldest and fourth young ladies. The old lady got up early and got the news, so she ate less breakfast than usual. But she looks energetic and is waiting for the two young ladies."

Su Qingyu asked again: "How are Second Uncle and Second Aunt?"

Su Zhong shook his head. "It's not going well at Qixia Courtyard. The Second Madam fainted twice from crying. The Second Master is guarding her now."

In a few days, one son of the second house was exiled and one daughter died. The Su family did not even dare to offer sacrifices, fearing that they would offend the emperor and the prince.

Su Qingyu asked again who was in Songhe Hall now, and Su Zhong said that the Marquis was there.

After Su Zhong left, Su Shunci curled her lips and said, "Grandmother is really... She is gone, but she didn't delay her meal."

Su Qingyu smiled faintly, "Our grandmother only cares about herself and not anyone else."

Let alone a granddaughter, even if a dog died, the family would be sad for several days. But their grandmother did not seem to be sad at all, otherwise she would not have called them back home so early in the morning.

Some people may just be born cold-hearted, with a heart that's like it's made of stone, and can't be warmed up no matter what.

The two chatted and walked into Songhe Hall side by side.

When he entered the room, the old lady was leaning on the big kang by the window in the banquet room. Su Chengye was sitting on a brocade stool beside her, peeling a tangerine for the old lady.

Su Qingyu and Su Shunci walked in and bowed to their grandmother and father.

The old lady raised her head and looked at the two of them, frowning slightly.

"You two just lost a sister at home, and you two are wearing such extravagant clothes. Isn't it a little inappropriate?"

"I know you are rich, but there is no need to show off like this."

Su Qingyu had a puzzled look on her face. She glanced at the ginseng soup on the table, the bowl of medicine she had just drunk, the candied fruit on the side, and the tangerine in her father's hand.

In her heart, she sneered. Grandmother didn't think that Su Xiangling had just passed away and it was not good to dress like this. It was that they were dressed so luxuriously that made her feel jealous. The Su family had a hard time in the past six months. Seeing them dressed like this and not taking care of the family, she was not happy.

Su Qingyu explained calmly, "Grandma, you misunderstood. I was supposed to go to the Duke of Wei's mansion today, but Grandma sent someone to call me at the last minute, so I didn't have time to change my clothes."

"It's the first month of the year, so I can't wear plain clothes when I go to the Zhao family."

"And my fourth sister is busy in the shop early in the morning and has to go to the Song family frequently. It's unacceptable that she's dressed so poorly."

"Grandmother, are you going to hold a funeral for my second sister? Do you want me to give you the order?"

The old lady was choked and her expression froze. A funeral? The emperor personally dealt with the person, and the Su family held a funeral. Are they trying to kill themselves?

"I'm not mourning. I'm telling you two to stop caring about yourselves and think about your sisters as well."

Su Qingyu nodded, "Granddaughter will remember this. Don't worry, grandma. I will take good care of my fourth and fifth sisters in the future."

Now, of the sisters in the family, only Su Shunci and Su Zhilan are left alive, so she will naturally take good care of them.

The old lady was so angry that she almost suffocated. Just as she was about to explode, Nanny Yuan walked over to her.

"Are you here to ease the tension between the two young ladies or calm down today?"

The old lady was shocked to realize that she had lost her composure. Su Xiangling was gone, so there was no need for her to get upset over what they wore.

Thinking of this, the old lady took two deep breaths and calmed down her anger.

Then he ordered someone to bring the two men brocade stools and sat them down, and said with a smile: "What you said makes sense. Your status is different now, so you should pay more attention to your clothes."

Su Chengye, who was sitting on the side, also glanced at his two daughters, and thought to himself, is there really something wrong with the Su family's feng shui?

How come both of them are living well after leaving the Su family?

Two days ago, he met Lin Wanyin and Bai Sulian on the street. They were in high spirits, arm in arm, and walked into Fanjinlou. They looked a few years younger than when they were in the Marquis' Mansion.

He followed them in as if possessed by a ghost, and found that the two had bought more than five thousand taels of silver worth of head ornaments and jewelry. But he only had fifty taels of silver on him that day, and he had to be frugal.

The old lady saw that Su Qingyu and her sister were sitting there without saying a word, and had no admiration for their elders.

Then he ordered Madam Yuan, "Go get the freshly made peanut and walnut syrup from the kitchen and give it to the two young ladies."

Then he smiled and said, "Knowing you were coming, I asked someone to prepare it this morning."

Soon, a maid brought in two bowls of peanut and walnut soup.

Su Qingyu and Su Shunci looked at each other, helpless smiles in their eyes.

The two took it and put it down together.

The old lady was puzzled, "Why don't you drink?"

Su Qingyu and Su Shunci spoke almost at the same time.

“I never ate peanuts when I was a kid.”

“I never ate walnuts when I was a kid.”

Su Shunci looked at Su Qingyu in surprise again and asked in a wronged tone.

"Big sister, is grandma trying to intimidate us?"
