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

Hearing the Third Lady's question, Ding Chan said respectfully, "More than an hour ago, the princess suddenly returned home. After returning home, she went to the warehouse of the eldest house. She said that there were things of the eldest young master in it, and she wanted to take them with her as a souvenir."

"But the big warehouse contains all the remaining assets of the entire big house. If it is the eldest young master's private property, it should be in the private warehouse of Hanshui Courtyard. Madam Xiang did not allow the princess to go in, saying that the princess could go in, but she had to ask the old lady first."

"The princess probably looked down on our lady, and her words were very unpleasant to the ear."

Su Qingyu asked in a deep voice: "What did she say?"

Ding Chan pursed her lips, obviously a little embarrassed to speak. But seeing that the Third Madam's face was a little cold, she didn't dare to hide it.

"The princess accused our wife of being a foxy woman. She didn't know how she had bewitched the master and became a wife despite her humble status. She also said...she also said that our wife didn't let her enter the storehouse because she was after the master's money."

Afraid that Su Qingyu would misunderstand, Ding Chan quickly explained, "Madam San is very perceptive. Our Madam is definitely not that kind of person."

"After the eldest master left, she put everything in the storehouse back in order and re-did the accounts. She always said that the money would be left for the young masters and young ladies, and she also prepared the dowry for the third young lady."

Ding Chan is a servant of the Shen family. His father used to be the steward of the eldest master.

She was ordered by the master to serve Madam Xiang. At first, she was reluctant to go, thinking that there was no future in following such a master. Moreover, she was stubborn and looked down on concubines who climbed into the bed and climbed into the rich and powerful.

But after following Madam Xiang for a while, she began to admire her from the bottom of her heart. Not only was she a good housekeeper, she also had principles and sense of propriety in her work, and she was clear about rewards and punishments for her servants. As for money, she was not selfish at all.

Now the Fifth Young Master is being raised by her, and she treats him as her own son.

So when Ding Chan saw Li Chaoyun making trouble today, she went to Prince Ning's mansion to report the news without saying a word.

When Su Qingyu heard that they needed to go into the warehouse to get something, she immediately remembered that Shen Zhao was selling off his family property.

Now the only person the Li family can rely on is the crown prince, so they will have to spend all their money to help the crown prince ascend to the throne. Did Li Chaoyun really return home today just to take back some of Shen Zhao's old things? Or did he have other plans?

Thinking of this, she was somewhat thankful that Shen Zhiheng left a will before his death. It was better for the first house to be handed over to Xiangdong than to be controlled by Li Chaoyun.

After the carriage entered the Shen family, Su Qingyu sat in the sedan chair and went to the main house's courtyard.

In the main hall, Xiangdong sat in the main seat, drinking tea slowly.

No matter what Li Chaoyun said, she remained unmoved. As long as she didn't give the order, no one dared to let Li Chaoyun into the warehouse.

She just had to wait until the old lady and the third lady came back. Even if the old lady said to give all the property of the first house to Li Chaoyun, she had no objection. This was the money of the Shen family, so naturally the Shen family had the final say.

But she couldn't give in because the people in charge were not in the house.

"Aunt Xiang, who gave you the right to stop me? Do you, a little concubine, want to be the head of the Shen family's main house?"

Li Chaoyun shouted angrily in a deep voice, looking at Xiangdong with disdain.

What Madam Xiang? Is she worthy of being called Madam?

Li Chaoyun now only regrets that she did not keep the first wife's property after Shen Zhao and others died. At that time, she did not think too much, she just wanted to leave the Shen family. Firstly, she did not want to observe mourning, and secondly, she wanted to hang out with Chen Ping.

However, they did not expect that later on, when the Li family encountered a disaster, they changed from supporting the prince as before to spending all their family wealth to support the prince.

The prince built a place in Yuntai Mountain that was specifically for making firearms. Although he had not yet obtained the blueprints from the Military Equipment Bureau, the necessary raw materials had already begun to be transported into the mountains.

After so many years of business, the Li family was quite wealthy, but it was not enough to support the prince in making firearms and raising private soldiers.

The prince pressed for money, and she remembered what Shen Zhao had said before his death: there was a box of banknotes and property deeds in the storeroom of the Shen family's main house. They were not displayed in public, nor were they on the account books.

She thought that while the old lady and the others were at Prince Ning's Mansion, she could find the box and take it away, which would help them get by for a while.

She thought Xiangdong was just a concubine who relied on her charm to get to the top. How capable could she be? How dare she stop her?

But I didn't expect Xiangdong to be so stubborn that he wouldn't give in at all.

She looked down on Xiangdong, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Chaoyun became anxious. He stood up and walked out, "I'll go to the warehouse by myself. I don't know who dares to stop me."

Xiang Dong stood up and stopped Li Chaoyun. "It's useless for Princess to go to the warehouse. Without my order, they dare not let you in."

Li Chaoyun stretched out his hand and pretended to push Xiangdong away, "Who do you think you are? How dare you stop this princess? Get out of here."

But before she could touch Xiangdong, a figure rushed in from outside the door and pushed Li Chaoyun hard.

"You didn't touch my mother."

The nine-year-old Shen Cheng was wearing a dark blue robe, and his height was almost as high as Xiangdong's shoulders.

A pair of eyes looked at Li Chaoyun viciously and stopped Xiangdong behind him.

Li Chaoyun was pushed and staggered, but fortunately Danju supported him in time.

"How can a bastard be so unruly? It's because no one taught him well, and he learns from whoever he follows." Li Chaoyun looked at Shen Cheng with disgust.

She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, while Shen Cheng is the illegitimate son of the Shen family. The difference in their status is obvious.

Xiangdong raised Shen Cheng as her own son. Li Chaoyun said that she could do it, but Shen Cheng could not.

So after hearing what Li Chaoyun said, she immediately retorted, "Princess, he is now the legitimate son of the Shen family."

Li Chaoyun snorted, with a hint of disdain at the corners of his lips.

"Legitimate son? A legitimate son can disrespect his elder sister-in-law? Danju, the fifth young master is committing treason. Give me ten slaps on the hand as punishment."

Li Chaoyun was very good at judging the right measure. A punishment like ten slaps on the hand was not too severe.

At that time, she only needs to say that it is all for the good of the child, and that it is a minor punishment and a severe warning, and even the old lady will not say anything.

And she wanted to let Shen Cheng know that even if this woman became his wife, she could not protect him.

Besides, if he was a bastard, he would be beaten. In Li Chaoyun's opinion, even if Shen Cheng became a legitimate son, he would not be presentable.

She didn't even think highly of Shen Zhao's identity at the time, let alone Shen Cheng.

Danju was a little hesitant. The princess was the daughter-in-law of the Shen family. It would not look good if she hit her brother-in-law.

But the princess had been feeling unwell recently and her temper had been unpredictable, so even she didn't dare to persuade her.

He could only carefully look at Li Chaoyun's expression, and then walked to Shen Cheng.

"Fifth Master, please."

Xiangdong immediately grabbed Shen Cheng and protected him by her side.

"My Lord, I can discipline my own son myself. It is not my Lord's turn to do it."

Li Chaoyun felt a surge of anger in his heart, and he couldn't suppress it no matter what.

Even though she knew in her heart that it was not her turn to discipline her brother-in-law, she still couldn't help but want to do it.

She stretched out her hand to pull Shen Cheng, saying, "If his elder brother was still alive, would he dare to talk to me like this? Aren't you mother and son just bullying me because I'm alone and helpless?"

"Today I will teach him a lesson on behalf of his elder brother."

When Su Qingyu walked in, she saw this scene.

He quickly ordered Feicui to stop the man and started scolding him.

"Stop it, how can a family be in such a mess?"

Then he looked at Li Chaoyun coldly, "What big mistake did the Fifth Young Master make to make the Princess so angry?"

"Is it Madam Xiang who bullies you for losing your husband, or are you bullying the Fifth Young Master for losing his father?"
