Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

"Alas, Jiang is also useless. After giving birth to a girl, she became motionless. Her body will fall over if the wind blows. How can she give birth to a legitimate son for the fifth child? It really makes me worry."

"Madam, even if the Fifth Lady wants to have a baby now, she is too old. After all, it is not as easy for her to give birth as a young girl. Besides, didn't the Fifth Master just have a bastard son? When he grows up a little, you can take him in to raise and register him under your name, isn't it the same? I see that the Fifth Master also likes the bastard son very much. No matter who the biological child is, he is the Fifth Master's biological son, madam, don't you think?" Nanny An said carefully beside her.

The old marquis's wife followed Nanny An's advice and also wanted to have a child like this.

The baby is round and plump, which means he is blessed. The old marquis' wife put down her teacup and stared at Nanny An beside her again and again.

Nanny An smiled awkwardly and said, "You really can't hide anything, old lady. I think if you let this out, the Fifth Lady will probably be anxious. By then, old lady, will you be far from holding the Fifth Master's legitimate child? I saw that the Fifth Lady didn't seem to care much about the Fifth Master recently. She even rarely went to the clinic. She wanted the Fifth Master to have no descendants. I was also worried about the Fifth Master, so I thought of this. The Fifth Lady relied on your favor and made the concubines in the Fifth Master's yard drink bowl after bowl of contraceptive soup. Over the years, the Fifth Master has only two daughters and one son. Seeing that Yu Ge'er's eldest son is about to be born, the Fifth Master, as an uncle, still doesn't have his own legitimate son."

The old marquis' wife, who had just calmed down, smashed a teacup again because of Nanny An's words.

This time, Nanny An did not let the maid come in to clean up, but did it herself.

He bent his head to pick up the teacups, and he was happy to do it because he was in a good mood.

New Years later, Nanny An's granddaughter was sent to the Fifth Master's backyard.

No, Nanny An didn't want to let her granddaughter enter the prince's backyard, or the backyard of other young masters, but she couldn't reach her hand over.

After all, there are several ladies watching over there, and the only one with hope is the third young master Chu Wei.

It’s not like she didn’t try, her granddaughter was thrown out the next day.

She had no choice but to find another way for her granddaughter. This time, she chose the Fifth Master's backyard. Jiang was a mistress without a legitimate son, so naturally it would be much better.

Jiang suffered a setback in the previous incident and returned to her own courtyard. She didn't know that her husband was being targeted by a servant.

Su Xinqing, along with Banyue and Shanlan, ran out of Qingzhu Garden, shouted loudly two or three times, and then walked back slowly.

As for the front yard, he didn't even go there, but just asked Shan Lan to report the situation to the front yard.

When Su Xinqing woke up the next day, she saw the house was full of things.

Silks, satins, jewelry, head ornaments, ginseng, deer antlers and other supplements, large and small, of different years, are all separated into half-moon areas.

"This is?"

"My lady, these are the apology gifts sent by the old marquis's wife, the first lady and several other ladies!" Ban Yue's eyes lit up when she talked about this. "When I opened the door this morning, they were already waiting outside. They said they were here to apologize to you and calm your nerves, so I took the initiative to accept them. Just now when I went to the front yard, I found out that the third young master came back a little late last night. This morning, he asked Zhengyi to send one or two taels of silver to each courtyard to buy these things. Zhengyi said that the third young master didn't need these things, so he sent them to our Fufeng Pavilion."

After hearing Banyue's words, Su Xinqing felt for the first time that someone was holding an umbrella in front of her.

However, he still asked Banyue to publicize yesterday's events at his own expense on behalf of the Marquis' Mansion.

At the same time, her image as a penniless concubine's daughter became deeply rooted in the capital.

Not only does she not have any valuable dowry, even if she does have something worthless, her husband's family will still be coveting it.

For a while, everyone talked about the fact that the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was stingy and poor, and that it was only for show but actually had more expenses than income.

Even in the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion, girls who married out would be greeted.

Around the New Year, the entrance to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was even busier. Even beggars would walk around in circles when passing by.

Some kind-hearted people would drop a few copper coins when passing by the door of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, as a blessing for their own family.

During the festivals before the New Year, Yuan saw that each and every gift sent over was either banknotes, silver, or gold. In short, it was for the benefit of the Zhenbei Marquisate.

This saves the trouble of having to send holiday gifts to the people from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and then pawn them at a pawn shop to exchange for silver. Now it can be done in one step.

His hands were clenched into fists, his nails dug deep into his palms, and his body was shaking slightly with anger.

The air around her seemed to freeze. Everyone felt the powerful anger emanating from her and dared not speak.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but the anger in his heart surged like a tide. He slammed his fist on the table and roared, "How dare they humiliate our Zhenbei Marquis Mansion like this!"

But just as he finished speaking, he heard his daughter crying outside the door.

My daughter went out early in the morning to attend the snow-viewing banquet at Duke Jiang's mansion. When she came back so soon, I knew something had happened.

The fierceness in his eyes was like two sharp swords, piercing straight at the maids and nannies beside him.

As for what happened in Wangzhu Courtyard and other courtyards, Su Xinqing only listened to Banyue's general description.

After all, it is the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhenbei. I can't be familiar with every corner like before, and I can't find the right position even if I eavesdrop.

After hearing that Chu Mingzhu and Chu Zhuqiao were humiliated by the girl from the Jiang family at the snow-viewing banquet because of money, Su Xinqing couldn't help but laugh.

That's really not the case. Su Xinqing's original purpose was to get angry. The whole family was rich, so why were they taking advantage of her, the poorest one?

Is it because she is a pushover and Chu Wei is too rich?

Su Xinqing didn't expect Chu Wei to be rich, but even though Chu Wei is rich, he can't take care of his own affairs.

If they wanted Chu Wei's money, they could just go to Chu Wei directly and take it based on their own abilities. Why would they make things difficult for him, the unfavored wife?

We have been married for more than half a year, and the number of times we have seen each other can be counted on one hand.

However, what she didn't know was that in the eyes of everyone, this already meant that Chu Wei had taken a fancy to her.

What happened on the first day was followed by finding every courtyard early the next morning, and sending Zhengyi to greet each of them one by one.

Because of what happened in the fourth room, the reunion dinner that was supposed to be held in the evening on New Year's Eve was canceled by the old marquis' wife, and everyone ate in their own courtyards.

So it was done in such a hasty manner.

However, just when Su Xinqing was happy to celebrate the New Year in her own yard, she was notified to go to Wangzhu Courtyard with Yuan and other people from the main house.

"Okay, young lady, it's just a meal. If you really want to eat the pot, I'll heat it up for you when you come back." Shan Lan found it funny to see his master's lifeless face.

When she and Shan Wu were transferred here to serve their master, they were still in Cao's camp but their hearts were with Han.

Now, I know completely that my master and the third young master are still a good match.

Their master has a first-class appearance, a kind face and an even kinder heart. He treats his servants well and seems harmless, but he can cause others to suffer great losses.

Sometimes she and Shan Wu discussed for a long time, but she still didn't know how her master could be so smart and always be able to successfully grasp the opponent's weak spot.
