Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

Fang lowered her head and saw Su Xinqing's confused big eyes. She immediately felt even more sad.

Lian Ai said, "You are just a little girl, why should I tell you this? Seeing you live well, I feel relieved. The lord's family looks rich and noble, but it is actually a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. Just look at your aunt and you will know. She died in this place at such a young age. Although your uncle and aunt are not rich, they can ensure that you grow up safely. When you grow up, they will find a good man for you to marry and you will live a comfortable life. It is still better than here. Are you willing to go back with your aunt?"

Although I know Su Xinqing is doing well here, I still think about what my sister-in-law has been through.

I still asked about it, and my sister-in-law said it very well, it hasn't been long since the person passed away.

"Aunt, I'm really fine. Besides, the eldest master of the Earl's Mansion is my biological father. My nanny said that parents should not be far away when they are still alive. A daughter needs to be filial to her parents."

Su Xinqing has not yet avenged herself, and the people she hates and those who have plotted against her are all here, so she won't go anywhere.

Besides, it’s not so easy for me to leave. First of all, there are the eldest lady and the old lady, both of whom I can’t pass.

Besides, the old lady’s hypocritical character would never allow any rumors that were unfavorable to the Earl of Yong’an to spread.

Even if all the illegitimate children in the mansion died in the inner house, she would keep the news secret in the inner house and would never spread it outside.

When Fang saw the innocent and determined look in the little girl's eyes, she realized that she had been thinking the wrong thing.

Indeed, as Su Xinqing said, no matter what, Su Xinqing is the biological daughter of the Earl's Mansion's master, and they are related by blood.

If Su Xinqing knew what Fang was thinking, she would definitely tell her that she was overthinking.

Su Chong didn't care about her illegitimate daughter.

If there were any bad rumors, these insignificant illegitimate daughters would be executed without mercy, just like executing a servant.

"Aunt knows that you are a filial son," Fang said, and then changed the subject. "Tomorrow your cousin and I will go to your aunt's grave to burn three sticks of incense and tell her that we are here to see her. Then we will leave. Your cousin will have to take part in the autumn examination after the Chinese New Year and review his studies when he returns, so he can't stay with you for a few more days. When your cousin passes the imperial examination, he will definitely come to the capital to protect you."

Su Xinqing suddenly thought of something. The Autumn Examination? The second year after her aunt passed away?

What kind of news exploded in Su Xinqing's mind.

In the previous life, I heard from Su Xinwan's courtyard that Aunt Li's nephew in Jiangnan passed the autumn examination.

After that, he took the imperial examination and the palace examination and became famous in one fell swoop. It seemed that his surname was Song.

At that time, she was still wondering why Aunt Li's surname was Song instead of Li.

However, she did not investigate further at that time, because as her cousin became more famous, Su Xinwan's status gradually became more important than their ordinary concubine's daughter, and she was more favored by Su Chong.

He often follows Su Xinya around and no longer has any interaction with them.

As for Aunt Li, she was a skinny horse from Yangzhou. Her family was in dire straits. All the people in her family died. Aunt Li was noticed because of her good looks and was sold to a place that specialized in breeding skinny horses.

Why, even his relatives and nephew from his mother's side passed the imperial examination and got the third place, and no one raised any question.

Su Xinqing now has a bold guess in her mind.

Then he thought of another thing. There were several times when Su Xinwan came to his place to play and would ask about his aunt.

At that time, Su Xinqing could not hide her excitement, and she answered every question Su Xinwan asked.

You can imagine how stupid I was at that time.

After careful calculation, it was when my aunt and cousin arrived in the previous life.

She is already terminally ill, and the Madam will definitely not let me see her, but I have to ask someone to come out.

First, Aunt Song’s birth contract had expired and she was no longer a concubine.

Second, I was worried about my aunt Fang and her family. They were talking nonsense outside, and my aunt's concubine's daughter died, and she was also seriously ill and would not live long.

Although the eldest lady had no intention of harming anyone, outsiders would not think so when they heard it. The reputation of the Li family and the Su mansion would be damaged and would be implicated.

The most likely scenario is to find Su Xinwan, who is of similar age to him, to come and act as him.

Children, especially sisters from the same family, all look similar, so it is natural that they can hide the truth.

After my cousin graduated from high school, whenever he came to the Earl's Mansion again, the eldest lady would not call him over even though he was not dead.

Su Xinwan will still be allowed to take the blame. This is the formation of a lie, and more lies will be used to cover it up.

This can also explain why Su Xinwan came to see him and asked about his aunt.

After trying to save Guan Qiao, Su Xinqing felt that she had been a complete grudge holder before, didn't she?

Also, I will take Luhe to the yard where my aunt lives to check out the letters she used to send and receive. Just in case, it would be better to collect them early to be at ease.

"Thank you, aunt. My cousin is very talented and will definitely pass the exam. He will take part in the autumn exam tomorrow and will definitely need a lot of time to review his studies. So you and your cousin should go back early. Aunt, can you tell the first lady tomorrow that I want to go see my aunt too? I have been sick since my aunt passed away. I don't even know where her grave is. I also know where to go to pay respect to my aunt around the Qingming Festival and the Zhongyuan Festival every year to show my filial piety as a child."

"Good boy, okay, you should get up early tomorrow morning, and wait for me to ask your stepmother for help, and then we can go together."

Seeing Su Xinqing's filial piety and steadiness, Fang felt a little sorry for her sister-in-law who passed away at such a young age.

Leaving behind, a child this young, in this place where people are eaten without leaving any bones, he doesn't even have the freedom to worship his own aunt. I really feel that the countryside is still better.

Su Xinqing talked to Fang for a while and asked about her uncle and aunt's life in the countryside, as well as her second cousin and younger cousin whom she had never met.

Fang couldn't hide her headache. She raised her daughter like a boy. Her second son was even more naughty. All the children in the surrounding area were afraid of him.

My sister-in-law's daughter is well raised. She is smart and lively, with skin as white as tofu and black and shiny hair. She will definitely be more beautiful than my sister-in-law when she grows up.

Now, I feel that it is better to raise a girl like this in a large mansion. Otherwise, I am really afraid that someone will kidnap her by force.

The two of them didn't chat for long before the wet nurse came with the maids in the yard to bring food over.

Although Fang's eyes were wide open, she had three meat dishes and three vegetable dishes: crystal pork elbow, Jinhua ham, fish soup, honey lotus root, etc.

Su Xinqing was also stunned. She had never had such a sumptuous dinner since her rebirth.

He picked up the chopsticks and started eating without any hesitation. He saw that his aunt was eating very slowly. Then he understood what was going on when he saw the wet nurse and the maid beside her.

Then she asked the nurse to take them down first. Fang then started eating faster.

After dinner, he chatted with Fang for a while before taking the wet nurse back to his own courtyard.
