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

Su Qingyu understood, there was actually this reason.

She glanced at Mrs. Chen and asked calmly.

"Did you hear this from Butler Chen at home?"

As soon as the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty heard Su Qingyu's words, she knew there was something wrong.

So she cleverly cooperated and said, "Oh? How can the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion gossip about the Third Madam of the Shen Family behind her back? This is too rude."

Others were afraid of the Chen family, but the Loyalty Marquis Mansion was not. Moreover, she and Su Qingyu were also relatives, and the Song and Shen families had a good relationship.

Su Qingyu smiled and explained, "Madam, you misunderstood. Butler Chen came to invite Mr. Zhou to come to the mansion that day to check the pulse of the old lady of the Chen family."

"I think it's because the Shen family is of low status and Mr. Zhou is a free-spirited person who doesn't pursue fame and fortune, so Butler Chen doesn't take him seriously."

Su Qingyu learned a few words from Butler Chen from the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty, and then said frankly, "Perhaps it was because they didn't invite anyone, and Butler Chen was afraid of being blamed, so he spoke a little bit wrongly after returning home."

Everyone present was a shrewd person. They were either the mistress of a duke or earl's mansion, or the wife of an official of the second rank or above.

As soon as I heard this, I knew that the Chen family's housekeeper was bullying others by taking advantage of his power.

After Su Qingyu finished speaking, she smiled and picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip, as if she was casually chatting.

Today is the birthday of the old lady of the Yang family. She can't be hostile to Madam Chen. Besides, Shen Zhixiu and Lord Chen also maintain a superficial teacher-student relationship.

So she was able to use little effort to achieve a great result, responding to Mrs. Chen's slander without making it too outrageous.

But her words still made Mrs. Chen embarrassed. According to Butler Chen, he invited politely, but the Third Lady of the Shen Family and Mr. Zhou did not treat him well.

Mrs. Chen knew that what Su Qingyu said was probably the truth. Butler Chen was used to being domineering outside, which made Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Shen angry, so they didn't give face to the Chen family. He was afraid of being blamed, so he said something a little biased.

But even though she knew that Butler Chen did not tell the truth, Mrs. Chen still blamed Su Qingyu in her heart.

She didn't dare to express her dissatisfaction to Chen Zheng, and she had no right to deal with the capable people around Chen Zheng. The only person she could blame was Su Qingyu.

Old Madam Yang was afraid that they would really get embarrassed, so she smiled and changed the subject.

Su Qingyu naturally wouldn't say anything more, some things should be said to the point. Everyone wanted to save face, and the banquet afterwards was full of laughter and chatter, and Mrs. Chen was also like nothing had happened.

She did compliment Su Qingyu on her youth, fair skin, and good figure. Although it was a bit sarcastic, Su Qingyu just pretended not to hear it. She even smiled and thanked her for the compliment, which made Mrs. Chen speechless.

After the banquet, Su Qingyu took her leave and left the Yang family at an appropriate time. The wife of Marquis Zhongyi, Wang, also left with her.

Wang and Su Qingyu walked side by side to the carriage and suddenly spoke before getting in.

"You don't have to take her words too seriously. She has been taking care of the elders in Huzhou these years, and Elder Chen has been having many mistresses in Beijing."

"So she looks at all the young ladies in Beijing like crazy people. When Minister Yang married his second wife two years ago, she happened to be in Beijing. At that time, she also said a few sarcastic words to the new wife."

"Now that Elder Chen has taken another step up, she is speaking even more recklessly."

Su Qingyu knew that Wang treated her as her own family, which was why she was so open with him.

Then he smiled and said, "She said what she said, I didn't take it to heart..."

Wang interrupted her directly and said, "You don't have to take her words to heart, but you can't be careless with this person."

Su Qingyu was puzzled and didn't understand what Wang meant.

"What do you mean, ma'am?"

Wang looked around and saw that everyone around was their confidant, so she spoke.

"I know this Madam Chen a little bit. Not only is she narrow-minded, but she also bears grudges. She won't blame the housekeeper for what happened today, because the housekeeper is the confidant of Lord Chen. But she will most likely blame you. She will blame you for embarrassing her in public, and you can't guarantee that she will do something to you at any time."

Su Qingyu was a little surprised. In her opinion, today's incident was not a big deal. If it were her, she would definitely interrogate the housekeeper first when she returned. In any case, she would not keep a servant who did not report truthfully and exaggerated. Such arrogance would sooner or later cause trouble for the master's family.

Wang seemed to have seen through Su Qingyu's thoughts and said, "Her status in the Chen family cannot be compared to our status in the family."

Su Qingyu snorted, "Are you picking on the weak? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

Wang curled her lips, "Not to mention you, even I have been pinched by her."

Su Qingyu was shocked. "How is it possible? She dares to touch the Song family?"

The Shen family actually rose to prominence thanks to Shen Zhixiu, while the Song family was a genuine family of high rank and nobles.

Not only is she the late empress's family, but she is also highly regarded by the emperor. She is almost the head of the nobles in the capital.

Wang chuckled, "It happened a few years ago. Lord Chen came to visit our house. The Marquis was in high spirits, so he asked two concubines who were recently sent by others to come up and dance. When Lord Chen was so fascinated by them, he gave them to him."

"But guess what, Mrs. Chen blamed me."

"Later, we met again, and she said insinuatingly that our Marquis had led her master astray."

Su Qingyu couldn't help laughing, "Can't she look for the reason from her husband?"

It was not a big deal for the noble families in Beijing to send concubines and dancers to each other. The fact that Lord Chen could bring the person back meant that he wanted her too.

Unless it was a reward from a noble in the palace, it could be said that it was somewhat unavoidable.

She looked at Wang curiously again, "How did the lady respond to her then?"

Wang smiled and said, "I sent two more the next day, and two more on the third day."

"On the fourth day, Madam Chen came to my house in person to apologize to me."

Su Qingyu smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. She thought that the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty was also a wonderful person. This method was impeccable and hit Mrs. Chen's weak spot.

After saying goodbye to Wang, Su Qingyu saw that it was still early, so she went to Yushu Hutong. Before leaving, she went to the south of the city to buy beef biscuits.

When I went in, Lin Wanyin and Bai Sulian were doing needlework together. I don’t know what happy things they were talking about, but they were both laughing so hard that they couldn’t stop.

When Lin Wanyin saw her coming, she smiled and motioned for her to sit down.

He said, "Your Aunt Lian and I were talking about your fourth cousin coming. I wrote to your aunt and she said your fourth cousin will come to Beijing next month."

"If you and Ah Ci are compatible, your uncle and his family will come to the capital to finalize the marriage."
