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

The old lady in the room was half leaning against the bed. After more than a month of not seeing her, her temples had turned mostly gray. Su Qingyu knew some of the inside story of the Su family. In the past month or so, they had sold two farms outside the city and a shop in the capital. Otherwise, it would not be enough to maintain the expenses of the Su family.

Looking at Second Aunt He, who was sitting at the end of the old lady's bed, Su Qingyu almost couldn't recognize her. Her cheeks were sunken, and her eye sockets were dark and slightly swollen. She looked at Hai with squinted eyes while speaking, and she was a little more mean than before.

On the other hand, Hai had a ruddy complexion and a nicely plump figure. Although she was bullied by her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law, she was relaxed and indifferent because she had a harmonious relationship with her husband and children who were filial and sensible.

Because of the Song family's marriage, his face was filled with joy.

In the eyes of the old lady and Mrs. He, wouldn't this make them unhappy?

Su Chengxun is not the old lady’s biological son. The old lady loves the second wife’s family the most.

If the Su family is not having a good time now, then everyone is having a bad time, and they don't think it's a big deal as they are all sharing the hardship.

But now the eldest and second houses are living a miserable life, with their offspring encountering accidents one after another, while the third house is thriving.

I heard that Su Chengxun did a good job and was highly regarded by several senior censors in the Censorate. At the end of the year, the Ministry of Personnel conducted an evaluation, and with Shen Zhixiu's connections, his promotion next year was almost certain.

The third young master, Su Yuanyi, has been studying hard recently, preparing to take part in the autumn examination next year. That child looks like a good student, and he might be on the list.

That's fine, even Su Zhilan could get such a good marriage as the Song family. Why did all the good things happen to the third room?

He was unbalanced, and the old lady was also uncomfortable.

So I wanted to use this as an excuse to teach Hai a lesson, fearing that she was living a comfortable life and making others feel uncomfortable.

Su Qingyu walked in at the right time and said, "Grandma, let Uncle and Aunt discuss Fifth Sister's marriage with the Song family."

"If you need help, Third Master and I are here. Grandmother is old, so it's important for her to take care of herself."

"And Second Aunt, if you're not feeling well, please don't go out too much. If I hear you humiliating us sisters again, don't blame me for being rude."

"Speaking of shamelessness, Su Xiangling hooked up with the Crown Prince before she entered the palace, and she even got pregnant. This is something that everyone in the palace knows."

"Second Aunt is so particular about rules, why don't you break your daughter's legs and set an example for us?"

Since the intention was to clean up the Su family's inner quarters, Su Qingyu showed no mercy.

Because her brother's affairs had not yet been settled, she had let many things go.

Now that my brother wants to return to his ancestral home, and the few corrupt officials in the Su family have been cleared out, it is a good time to tidy up the inner house and rebuild the Su family's status.

He was furious when she heard Su Qingyu's words. She turned around and was about to scold her for not distinguishing between superiors and inferiors, but when she met Su Qingyu's cold eyes, the words on her lips got stuck in her throat.

Having been the head of the Shen family for almost a year, and with the influence of Shen Zhixiu, even if Su Qingyu didn't deliberately look cold, she still felt oppressive.

She bowed to the old lady and said, "Greetings, Grandmother, and both aunts."

After standing up, he said to the old lady, "Grandma, our Su family has not split up. We all prosper together and suffer together."

"No matter who arranges the marriage for the fifth sister, it is a good thing for the Su family. If grandma continues to make a fuss, it will be a disgrace to the Su family in the end."

"And Second Aunt, you have to make plans for Sixth Sister. Although she is only four years old, she will get married sooner or later. It won't be a bad thing for her if her elder sister marries well."

He knew that Su Qingyu was right, but she couldn't swallow it.

He snorted and said, "Young Miss now knows that if one prospers, all prosper, and if one suffers, all suffer. But which of these embarrassing things about the Su family was not exposed by Young Miss?"

"Even your second brother's exile is related to you."

Su Qingyu showed no anger, and shook her head, saying, "Second Aunt, what you said is not right, these are two different things. Prosperity and adversity together do not mean covering up scandals and protecting them indefinitely."

"It's like having a boil on your body. Should you not cut it off, cover it up so that no one can see it, and let it grow?"

"Of course I have to cut out the abscess first, even if people find out and hate me."

Hearing Su Qingyu compare Su Yuanqing to a boil, He was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but was unable to refute.

Su Qingyu was too lazy to pay attention to her. "Could you two aunts please leave first? I have something to say to grandma alone."

Hai immediately stood up, nodded at Su Qingyu, and walked out.

However, He looked at Su Qingyu doubtfully, and under the pressure of Su Qingyu's gaze, she turned around reluctantly.

Even the servants were driven out by Su Qingyu.

When only the grandparents and grandchildren were left in the room, Su Qingyu pulled a chair and sat beside the bed.

The old lady was confused and a little nervous when facing her granddaughter.

Su Qingyu tucked the quilt for the old lady, and then said, "Grandma, the Su family is in such a situation now, grandma, have you thought about how to explain it to the ancestors of the Su family?"

"My grandfather was strong-willed and wanted to revive the Su family. But after my grandfather passed away, it has only been a few years and the Su family is in such a state."

The old lady felt a sense of frustration in her chest, but Su Qingyu's tone was extremely sincere, without any sarcasm or ridicule.

It was as if he was really worried that she would not be able to face the ancestors of the Su family a hundred years later.

She had thought about this question, and she often thought about it when she couldn't sleep at night these days. She even dreamed countless times of the old man accusing her and scolding her for being useless. Maybe it was because her body was not good, so she started to think about her after death.

She looked at Su Qingyu intently and asked, "Can you still plead for my grandmother?"

Contrary to his usual behavior, he didn't lose his temper like before.

Su Qingyu lowered her eyes and smiled, "Of course I can't plead for grandma, but I can restore the Su family to its former glory and let grandma enjoy her old age in peace."

"No matter what, when others see my grandmother, they should respectfully address her as the Old Lady of the Su Family. And then they should say with envy that Old Lady Su is so blessed."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

Su Qingyu said softly: "Among my father's three brothers, my third uncle is the most capable, there is no doubt about that."

Seeing that the old lady looked unhappy, Su Qingyu did not give her a chance to speak.

"Father's position as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is an official position given to him in accordance with the title of nobility. In fact, we all know that he has no real power, and father is just muddling through."

"My second uncle has no hope of a career in politics. Only my third uncle is outstanding in both ability and future."

"Besides, among the younger generation, some are stupid and some are exiled. But my third brother Yuan Yi, if he studies hard for a year and a half, he will have a chance to pass the imperial examination next autumn."

None of what Su Qingyu said was what the old lady wanted to hear. But she still listened patiently and asked Su Qingyu again, "What do you mean by saying this?"

"My granddaughter's idea is to give the inner house to Aunt San. The outer affairs will be handled by Uncle San. As for the title of Marquis... it will be inherited by Yuan Yi."

The old lady refused without thinking: "No, if you say that, all the good things will fall into the hands of the third room."

"Are you the eldest daughter of the first wife or the third daughter? What kind of nonsense did your third uncle and third aunt feed you?"

Su Qingyu was not surprised by her reaction. It would be abnormal for her grandmother to agree.

"So grandma wants Second Aunt to continue to manage the household? Is the family selling off all the properties?"

"Then will the title be given to Aunt Zeng's child? Not to mention that we don't know whether the child is a boy or a girl. By the time he grows up, the Su family's title will probably have been lost."

"There are also things happening outside. Now that Third Uncle is very successful in the court, who else can I give it to if not him?"

The old lady was speechless when asked, and what Su Qingyu said was true.

But he was still unwilling to give in. "Then your Third Aunt is the housekeeper, so she doesn't have to sell the property? Your Third Aunt can't give birth to money."
