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

Su Qingyu heard the old lady ask and smiled calmly, "If it is Third Aunt who is the housekeeper, I am willing to support the family shop to open again."

"To put it bluntly, I believe in Aunt San's character, so I am willing to cooperate with her."

"But if it's Second Aunt's housekeeper, forget it. I don't want to get into trouble."

"And Yuan Yi, if he inherits the title, I can talk to the Third Master and ask him to take time to personally teach Yuan Yi."

"Grandma wondered, if Yuan Yi was in high school, whose face would he have?"

"Others would say that he is a descendant of the Su family. But no one would mention that Su Yuanyi is not the grandson of the old lady of the Su family."

Seeing that the old lady was somewhat moved, Su Qingyu continued, "Grandma knows the character of Third Uncle and Third Aunt best. If Grandma treats them well, they will repay you very much."

"It's okay if grandma doesn't agree. At worst, uncle will be disappointed and move out of the family. Grandma will take care of uncle and his family and live a poor life."

After Su Qingyu finished speaking, she stopped talking and let the old lady figure it out on her own.

She stood up and poured herself a cup of warm tea. She talked for a long time and her mouth was dry.

Seeing that the corners of the old lady's lips were dry, he considerately poured her a cup as well.

The old lady held the teacup and lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking. What Su Qingyu said was undoubtedly the best for the Su family. But Su Chengxun was not her biological child after all, and she was also afraid that they would be in power and treat her badly in the future.

Besides, the Su family had inherited the title for three hundred years, and she was unwilling to accept it falling into Su Yuanyi's hands. She had no blood relationship with the third branch.

As the old saying goes, there is a mountain between your belly and your body.

But Su Qingyu's words lingered in her mind. It was indeed the best choice for her and the Su family. It seemed that this was the only way to get the honor and dignity she wanted.

"Then will your father and your second uncle and second aunt be suppressed by your third uncle?"

Su Qingyu said calmly: "As long as they don't cause any trouble, who would suppress them?"

"But if I find out that someone continues to harm their family, I won't let them off easily, even without Third Aunt taking action."

"After Third Aunt becomes the housekeeper, I hope Grandma will give her enough respect. Naturally, we will also give Grandma honor and respect."

"Grandma, you can treat this as a deal. If you can accept it, then agree to it. If you can't do it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

When Su Qingyu said this, her eyes swept towards the old lady with a hint of threat.

When her brother returned to his ancestral home, she hoped that the Su family would be harmonious and prosperous. If her elders were willing to live out their days in peace and not cause trouble, the Su family would still accommodate them.

If you can't, don't blame her for being ruthless.

The old lady's expression was stiff, and after a long time, the corner of her mouth twitched.

"Then... let's do as you say."

Su Qingyu nodded, very satisfied with the result.

Then, she sent servants to the outer courtyard to wait for the masters to come back and call them to Songhe Hall. She also invited the second and third wives to come back.

Not long after, Hai and He came in first, followed by Su Chengyan.

Before Su Chengye and Su Chengxun returned home, everyone was already gossiping.

He was curious about why the old lady had mobilized so many people. She glanced back and forth between the old lady and Su Qingyu's faces, but could not see any clues.

But he was surprised to find that the old lady's attitude towards Hai had changed and became much gentler than before.

Su Qingyu sat calmly drinking tea and talking to Hai about Su Zhilan's marriage.

Almost a quarter of an hour later, Su Chengye and Su Chengxun finally returned home and hurried to Songhe Hall.

After everyone was seated, the old lady glanced at Su Qingyu, then said, "I called you here today to discuss a few things."

"The second son's wife has not been feeling well lately, so let's hand over the household chores to the third son's wife."

Before everyone could come to their senses, the old lady said again: "Big brother, second brother, from now on, when it comes to things outside, you should listen to the third brother."

He looked at the old lady suspiciously. The old lady always looked down on the third child's family. What was wrong with her today? Or did the eldest daughter say something?

But what was even more surprising was yet to come. The old lady instructed Su Chengye, "Draft a memorial tonight. The title of Marquis of Pingning...will be inherited by Su Yuanyi."

After the old lady finished speaking, everyone was so surprised that their mouths widened, except Su Qingyu who continued to drink tea calmly.

The one who couldn't wait was He. "Mother, do we still need to discuss such a big thing? There's no need to decide on the successor so early. We will have children in the future."

These days, even though the Su family had to sell off their property to make ends meet, He still gave Su Chengyan two concubines and kept him taking pregnancy-pregnancy medicine, all in the hope of having another male heir to inherit the Su family's title.

Su Chengye was also stunned, "Mother, Aunt Zeng is pregnant with a boy. The fortune teller said that she will be rich and powerful in the future."

The implication is that this title should be reserved for Aunt Zeng's child.

The old lady thought to herself that even if Aunt Zeng's child was destined to be born to the emperor, she would not be able to enjoy it. By the time the child grew up, the grass on her grave would be three feet high.

I feel more and more that Su Qingyu is right. Whoever can give her honor and dignity is the most suitable candidate.

When she sees the old man a hundred years later, she can still say that she has lived up to his instructions.

The old lady said to Su Chengye: "The child has not been born yet, but the Su family cannot be without an heir. I have been watching from the sidelines these days. Yuan Yi is a good child. He is outstanding in learning, and he is pure and filial."

He looked at the old lady inexplicably, and even thought that she was possessed by someone. This was really strange, the first time she heard her praise Su Yuanyi.

He moved the corners of her lips and couldn't help asking, "The daughter-in-law can still take care of the affairs of the inner house. The third brother's wife is not familiar with these things, so I'm afraid it's not a good idea for her to take over rashly."

The old lady looked at Hai lovingly, and then said to He, "It has been almost a year since your third brother's wife returned to Beijing. I think she is not bad in terms of her ability as a housekeeper and her filial piety to me."

"You are all the same in my heart. Since you are not in good health, let her bear more of the responsibility."

Then he asked Hai in a gentle voice, "I was a little strict with you in the past, but it was for your own good. You don't hold a grudge against me, right?"

Hai said hurriedly: "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare."

But I was very nervous, not knowing what my mother-in-law was making a fuss about.

He and Su Chengxun looked at each other, unable to figure out the reason.

Hai remembered that Su Qingyu had just talked to the old lady alone for a long time, and guessed that it was probably because of what she said.

Su Qingyu sat on the side, trying not to smile. Her grandmother was really good at pretending. If it were her, she really couldn't pretend like that.

She didn't mind her grandmother pretending. It would be great if she could pretend for the rest of her life so that they, the younger generations, would have less to worry about.

Otherwise, given my brother's future position in the court, it would be difficult to deal with the accusation of being unfilial.

Afterwards, the old lady forced He to hand over the housekeeper power and ordered Su Chengye to draft a memorial.

Seeing that the old lady insisted, He said unwillingly, "Since the third sister-in-law wants to take charge, then let her take over. From now on, the food, clothing and expenses of this family will all depend on the third sister-in-law."

In fact, the Su family's household expenses are not profitable now. He Shi didn't want to give up because she was unwilling to give up power. Now that Hai Shi took over, she also had some thoughts of watching the fun. Without a way to make money, whoever is in charge of the household will have a headache.

Hai wanted to refuse, but Su Qingyu secretly gave her a look, so Hai didn't say anything. She believed that Su Qingyu would not harm her, and there must be a reason for her to do so.

After the story was told, Su Qingyu left Songhe Hall with everyone else.

After everyone else left, she followed Su Chengxun and Hai to the study in Qingyin Garden.
