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

Feicui was a little surprised when she heard Su Qingyu say that she wanted to relocate the people to Pinghu Residence.

Pinghuju is next to the waterside pavilion and can be said to be the best courtyard of the Shen family. However, because it is close to the water and a little damp, it has always been empty. It is only used for weekday banquets or summer fun.

In Feicui's opinion, Jiang Chenyue was not worthy of such a good courtyard. Even if Osmanthus Villa was not suitable, the Shen family still had several other courtyards that were vacant.

"Madam, are you really going to let her live in Pinghu Residence? Who is she? Is she worthy of living in such a nice courtyard?"

Su Qingyu nodded and said, "Just do as I say."

Few people in the mansion knew that when Shen Zhao was in a bad mood, he liked to drink at night. After drinking, he would go to the waterside pavilion and stare blankly, and would not allow anyone to follow him.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Feicui nodded and did as she instructed.

Before dinner time, Jiang Chenyue settled down in Pinghu.

This Miss Jiang was quiet and gentle, not noisy or noisy. She looked like she would be satisfied as long as she could stay in the Shen family.

Jiang Chenyue was a little surprised when she entered Pinghu Residence. She thought that Mrs. Shen San would place her in a remote and dilapidated courtyard, but she didn't expect that this courtyard was not only facing the lake, but also very elegant.

When Shen Zhixiu came back at night and heard about this, he wanted to persuade Su Qingyu to send the person away. Even if the mansion wanted to set up a dance and music troupe, they could just find someone outside, there was no need to use her.

Su Qingyu told Shen Zhixiu not to worry about it. Since the person had been sent to the inner house of the Shen family, she would naturally take care of it. She would definitely send him away, but someone would stand up for her.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Shen Zhixiu said nothing more, only asking Su Qingyu not to put herself in a difficult position for an outsider.

The next day, the news that the Third Lady of the Shen family was going to prepare a dance and music troupe and would make use of Miss Jiang from the palace spread quickly among the aristocratic families in the capital.

Some people said that Mrs. Shen was jealous and deliberately brought people to the main courtyard. Others said that Mr. Shen was chaste and not moved by beauty. Some people even sneered and said that this was not chastity at all, but fear of his wife.

When the words reached Shen Zhixiu and Su Qingyu, they both pretended not to hear. After all, no one dared to say it in front of them, and they all whispered behind their backs.

For several days, Su Qingyu hadn't seen Jiang Chenyue, and no one else in the Shen family had been to Pinghu Residence. This person seemed to have been forgotten. Except for having enough food and clothes, the rest was no different from being in prison.

Jiang Chenyue was able to keep his composure in the first two days, but later he began to pace back and forth in the hall, obviously a little panicked.

In the past few days, Su Qingyu had been sending people to keep an eye on Shen Zhao's movements. Until that day, when she heard that Shen Zhao had messed up a task assigned by the crown prince, she called Feicui and whispered a few instructions to him.

Feicui nodded repeatedly and went down to do her work.

In the afternoon, Jiang Chenyue had lunch alone and basked in the sun by the window as usual. She was served by two maids and two old women. Although they were called servants, they were actually no different from just looking at her.

She was allowed to walk around outside, but she was not allowed to contact people, let alone meet the master of the house. Jiang Chenyue went out twice, and found it boring, so she stopped walking around.

At this moment, two maids were gossiping outside. The one who spoke first was called Lan'er. "I heard that the Third Master wanted to visit Miss Jiang, but was rejected by Madam?"

Another girl named Zi'er also whispered in agreement, "That's what they say, who knows. But I think the Third Master might come tonight. I saw a figure wandering at the door yesterday, I wonder if it was the Third Master."

Lan Er sighed again, "This girl is not good at competing for favors. If she plays the piano and dances in the yard at night, won't the Third Master come in?"

Zi Er smiled and said, "If I dress more seductively like what's said in the storybook, will Third Master still be able to control himself?"

The two spoke in low voices, as if they had deliberately lowered their voices. However, Jiang Chenyue had practiced martial arts since childhood and had sharp ears and eyes, so he could hear clearly.

She had no doubt that the two people said it on purpose, because normal people could not hear their voices at all.

Her heart was beating hard. If it was true what the girl said, that Lord Shen was wandering outside last night, then it meant that he still wanted to take her in. But because of the strict control of his wife at home, he was unwilling to give in.

Jiang Chenyue got up and went into the house, looking through the closet. There weren't many clothes in it, all of which were sent by Mrs. Shen San after she arrived at Pinghu Residence.

She had to admit that the Third Lady Shen had not treated her badly in terms of food, clothing and daily expenses. These clothes were all made of the finest materials and were new in appearance. The daily food was even more exquisite, and even bird's nest supplements were delivered twice a day.

Jiang Chenyue guessed in her heart that Mrs. Shen San was probably aware that she would be taken into Mr. Shen San's room sooner or later, so she did not dare to blame her.

Leaving her alone for the past two days should be a warning to her so that she will be more obedient in the future.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chenyue calmed down. No matter what, what the two maids said made sense.

She spent the whole afternoon quietly sewing in the room, taking apart the clothes, selecting the fabric, and making a dress suitable for her to dance.

He then found the piano that was placed in the side room of the courtyard and adjusted the tone.

There were two minor incidents at the mansion tonight that attracted no one's attention.

First, the maid who brought food to Jiang Chenyue twisted her foot near the incense burner in the house.

Later, the servant who was delivering wine to Shen Zhao's study suddenly had to go to the bathroom urgently and put the wine on a stone bench beside him.

Su Qingyu did not leave the West Courtyard all night. As usual, she met with the steward, looked at the account books, and had dinner with Shen Zhixiu.

The night was getting darker and darker. Jiang Chenyue sat in the yard, plucking the strings of a zither with both hands, and the melodious sound of the zither flowed softly.

As for the two maids and two old women who served her, they did not come out to stop her. Jiang Chenyue guessed that these people might also hope that she would be favored and their status would also rise.

Shen Zhao, who was sitting by the waterside pavilion, stared at the water with a tense expression.

There was a wine jug at hand. He picked it up, took a sip, and sighed again.

Suddenly, a sound of piano music came to his ears, which was the tune of "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix". The melodious sound of the piano made Shen Zhao's tense mind relax a little.

As he listened, he suddenly stood up and walked towards the place where the piano music was coming from.

His original intention was to see who was playing the piano.

In fact, he guessed that it should be Jiang Chenyue. He had seen Jiang Chenyue once in the palace, and she was indeed a stunning beauty.

But I didn't expect that she was so good at playing the piano.

The gate of Pinghu Residence was opened with a creaking sound.

Even with the sound of the piano next to his ears, Jiang Chenyue still accurately caught the sound of the door opening.

She stood up and danced in the yard, as if she didn't notice anyone outside.

She was born a dancer, and when she spun and jumped, she looked like a fairy descending to earth.

Today's dance costume was a one-piece dress that she had carefully sewn. The top was red, and you could see a large area of ​​white skin below her neck. The bottom of the skirt was made of color, and the black brocade belt around the waist outlined the lines of her entire waist.

Charming and smart.

Shen Zhao walked in unconsciously, and sat down at the piano table as if possessed by a ghost. The sound of the piano rang out again.

Because there was only one lantern lighting the yard, and Jiang Chenyue was concentrating on dancing, she only took a quick glance and did not see the man's face clearly.

She preconceived that it was Shen Zhixiu, and danced even more vigorously.

The last move was something she had thought of long ago.

With one leap, she landed in the arms of the man behind the piano table.
