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

After the Guangfulou incident, there really were no rumors about Su Zhilan. It seemed that everyone present was still wary of the Song family and Song Hongshen.

It is still a long way to go before Su Zhilan gets married. The most important thing right now is the marriage of Su Yuanzhou and Shen Yue.

It is said that the Su family is also renovating the old house. Even if Su Yuanzhou just goes back to pay homage to his ancestors, it will be a great honor for the Su family.

Early that morning, Su Qingyu was looking at the dowry list that the third room had given to Shen Yue. Chuntao suddenly came in and reported, "Madam, someone from the Li family came and said they had something to bring to the princess."

"From what I've seen, there are quite a lot of gifts. There are more than a dozen servants carrying the gifts."

Su Qingyu was still thinking about whether to give Shen Yue another 20% of the makeup, but she was afraid that if the third room gave too much, it would be embarrassing for the second room. After thinking about it, she decided to give Shen Yue some banknotes in private so as not to alert others.

After hearing Chuntao's words, she said casually: "The things should be handed over in the outer courtyard. People from the Li family are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard."

Chuntao replied yes and went downstairs to pass on the message.

At this moment, in the outer courtyard of the Shen family, Li Chaoyun's maid Danju was leading people to collect things.

The servants carried the things down from the car and handed the gift list to Danju, who led people to count them.

After all, it was a matter of the princess's room, so it was not good for others to get too close. Just follow the Third Madam's instructions and guard the doors of the inner and outer courtyards.

Seeing that most of the things had been delivered, Changsheng, the servant from the Li family, suddenly ran to Danju, holding his stomach and said, "Miss, my stomach hurts so much, I need to go to the toilet."

Danju didn't even raise his eyelids, just waved his hand casually, and Changsheng ran to the side.

Naturally, this scene did not attract the attention of others.

Soon, the things that the Li family sent to Li Chaoyun were delivered. The leading steward led the Li family's servants out in a line, and Danju also returned to the inner courtyard.

In the main courtyard of the Shen family's main house, the fifth young master Shen Cheng was playing with the katydids in the cage. In the past two months, Shen Cheng's favorite thing was the katydids. After taking classes with the teacher in the mansion every day, he would start playing with the katydids.

At first, Xiangdong was afraid that he would lose his ambition due to playing around, so he kept a tight rein on him. But later, seeing that he did not fall behind in his studies even when playing around, he stopped being so strict.

After all, they were not biological mother and son, and Shen Cheng was not young anymore, so he stayed in the outer courtyard at night. But when he had nothing to do during the day, he stayed in the main courtyard, and he had three meals a day with Xiangdong.

At this moment, Shen Cheng was concentrating on feeding the katydids under the tree, and he didn't even notice An Lu, the servant who served him, coming from outside.

An Lu squatted beside Shen Cheng and whispered, "Master, I just passed by the outer courtyard and found a katydid that was completely emerald green. I didn't dare to catch it without permission, so I quickly came back to report to you."

Common katydids are grass green or dark green, which is not surprising. However, emerald green katydids are rare, and if they are emerald green all over, as An Lu said, it is even rarer.

When Shen Cheng heard this, he immediately became alert, "Where is it? Let's go now."

An Lu smiled apologetically and said, "It's in the abandoned Wanxiang Hall at the easternmost end of the outer courtyard."

I don’t know if it was because he was nervous, but An Lu clenched his hands under his sleeves and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his face.

Shen Cheng knew that the courtyard was where the men from the outer courtyard used to go to listen to operas. After the old man left, it became deserted.

After Shen Cheng stood up, he went to say hello to Xiangdong again, and then followed An Lu to the outer courtyard.

Wanxiang Hall is a remote courtyard in the outer yard and usually not many people come here.

The master and servant arrived outside the yard. An Lu pushed open the half-closed gate and walked in first. He then motioned Shen Cheng to look at his feet, saying that the katydid was in the weeds in the backyard.

Shen Cheng asked casually: "This place is so remote, how come you passed by?"

An Lu helped Shen Cheng to watch the road and said, "I am not just passing by. I saw that the young master couldn't find a suitable katydid, so I thought of going out to look for one."

Shen Cheng smiled and said, "Anlu, you are so amazing. If you catch that katydid later, I will reward you handsomely."

For a moment, An Lu stretched out his hand, wanting to grab Shen Cheng and take him away from Wanxiang Hall.

When An Lu was about to touch Shen Cheng with his hand, he suddenly remembered something and retracted his hand.

The two of them passed through the hall and went to the back. But just as they reached the backyard, a man suddenly jumped out from the side with a stick in his hand and hit Shen Cheng directly on the back of the neck.

Before Shen Cheng could figure out what was going on, he fell to the ground.

An Lu was terrified, and squatted on the ground and reached out to feel Shen Cheng's breath. After making sure that he was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The one who did it was Li's servant Changsheng. To be more precise, he was just a street thug. Chen Ping had spent money to find him, so even if something went wrong, it would have nothing to do with the Li family.

Changsheng took Shen Cheng to an empty room nearby and tied him up casually with a rope. He didn't take Shen Cheng seriously since he was just a kid who hadn't even grown all his hair yet.

Then, Changsheng asked Anlu, "Do you have to go and report the news? Do you know what to say?"

Changsheng was a thug who roamed the streets, and his eyes were fierce when he spoke. An Lu shrank his neck in fear, "I know, just say that the fifth young master was injured, and ask Madam Xiang to come and see."

"Remember, find a way to let her come by herself, don't bring anyone else." Changsheng said viciously again.

An Lu nodded and said, "I understand."

He trotted out of Wanxiang Hall and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Outside the main house owner's yard, An Lu hesitated for a long time before going in.

Ding Chan, the head maid, stopped An Lu and said, "Why are you entering and leaving the Madam's courtyard at will when you are not following the Fifth Young Master?"

An Lu pretended to be out of breath and said anxiously, "Please inform the young lady that I have something urgent to tell the lady. It's about the fifth young master."

Since the matter involved the Fifth Young Master, Ding Chan did not dare to stop him. She went in to report to Xiang Dong and took An Lu to the flower hall next door.

An Lu knelt on the ground as soon as he entered the room, "Madam, please forgive me. I failed to take good care of the Fifth Young Master, causing him to be injured."

When Xiang Dong heard that Shen Cheng was injured, he could no longer sit still and stood up to walk out. "Where is he? Where is he injured?"

An Lu immediately said, "Madam, don't worry. The fifth young master only suffered a superficial injury. He is now throwing a tantrum and won't let me tell anyone else. He said that he is a man and it would be too embarrassing for others to know that he fell."

"I coaxed him for a long time before he agreed to let Madam go to have a look. He also told her not to bring anyone else with him."

Thinking of Shen Cheng's awkward personality at this age, Xiangdong did not doubt An Lu's words.

"Take me there." After instructing An Lu, he said to the maids beside him, "Don't follow me."

Ding Chan was worried, so she stepped forward and said, "Madam, I will go with you. I will stand farther away so that the Fifth Young Master won't see me."
