Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

What Su Xinqing didn't know was that while she was observing others, she was also being secretly observed by others.

Especially in the eyes of the aunts, she is also a hot commodity, after all, she is the cousin of the top scholar who became famous in the past few years.

Recently, he returned to the Imperial College and caught the eye of Prime Minister Meng.

Whichever one came out was a noble person who was praised by others. However, due to the third young master who was beside Su Xinqing, no one dared to go up and make trouble.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Yuan quickly stood up and sent them away.

Su Xinqing looked at the two figures in front of her and couldn't help but ask Ban Yue beside her: "The way back to the front yard, isn't it closer to go through the corner gate just now?"

"Yes, miss." Banyue lowered her head, looked at the road under her feet, and did not dare to say any more words.

When Su Xinqing saw Banyue's appearance and understood her concerns, she could only walk slowly.

Looking at the figure getting farther and farther away, Su Xinqing finally felt much more comfortable.

The footsteps behind him quickened, but when they arrived at their own yard, they saw people already standing inside.

Its figure is tall and straight, like a green bamboo, and it looks particularly elegant under the moonlight.

The moonlight fell on him like a veil, as if covering him with a layer of silver light, making him exude a cold and lonely aura.

The figure was elongated in the moonlight, projected on the ground, forming a long shadow. He raised his head slightly, staring at the bright moon in the night sky, with a hint of sadness and confusion in his eyes.

He stood alone in the yard, accompanied by the moonlight and loneliness.

For some reason, Su Xinqing felt a little like a fellow wanderer when she saw Chu Wei like this.

After a moment, she shook off the unrealistic thoughts. She still had her uncle and aunt.

"My dear, it's late at night. We still need to pay respects to the Marquis and his wife tomorrow. You should go to bed early." Based on the principle of not moving unless the enemy moves, Su Xinqing could only patiently move forward.

Thanks to Aunt Zhang's teachings, the ancestor worship ceremonies on New Year's Day for wealthy families basically start at midnight in the early morning. But now, even if you go to bed immediately, you won't have two hours of rest.

It is the first year in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and Su Xinqing still needs to adapt to the local customs.

The Earl of Yong'an's Mansion doesn't need her, but in the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion, she is a target that can be used to stab Chu Wei.

You need to be extremely alert.

So, after an incense stick of time, even though Su Xinqing was lying on the bed, she couldn't fall asleep.

There is a familiar stranger around me.

The other party's excuse for staying in the backyard was: "It's convenient, and closer to the ancestral hall!"

I glanced at the man's cold white complexion. Although he had taken off his dark clothes and changed into green pajamas, I couldn't tell what was going on with this inhuman face.

"Go to sleep!" Chu Wei's sudden and cold voice came out from his two cold and thin lips.

Su Xinqing turned her head when she heard the voice and met Chu Wei's gaze.

She felt a little nervous. After all, they were not familiar with each other and it was somewhat awkward for them to be in the same room.

"Okay." Su Xinqing responded, then closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, she heard even breathing sounds coming from beside her. It turned out that Chu Wei had fallen asleep.

She turned around carefully and looked at Chu Wei's sleeping face. His facial features were clearly defined, and he looked majestic even in his sleep.

Su Xinqing couldn't help but feel curious. What kind of person was this man?

She was lost in thought and didn't know when she fell asleep. When she was woken up by Banyue and Shanlan, there was no one around her.

Su Xinqing, who was about to get up, looked down at her hands under Banyue's surprised and shocked gaze.

A blue men's pajamas.

He hastily threw it away, throwing the clothes directly onto the ground, but he could still clearly see the wrinkles on the pajamas.

"Madam Third Young Master, I'll help you wash up quickly, otherwise you will be late. The Third Young Master is waiting for you in the side room. Let's go together." Shan Lan smiled and picked up the clothes of the Young Master on the ground and put them in the closet.

Open the door and let the maid outside bring in water for washing.

By the time Chu Wei and Su Xinqing arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall, there were already many people standing there.

Yuan was talking to a lady of similar age. Su Xinqing went up to greet her, but she didn't hear the other party asking her to stand up, so she found a place to stand in the wind.

Chu Wei went in early.

This is the sick part of feudal ethics. Since women are not required to join in the ancestor worship, they are forced to get up early and come.

Facing the faint light, Su Xinqing saw that the ancestral hall was crowded with people.

However, soon, Su Xinqing felt that she was being stared at, and without looking carefully, she saw the culprit.

If it wasn't Chu Wei, then who else could it be? She was somewhat puzzled. Today and yesterday were both strange.

However, Su Xinqing was not given much time, as some people inside had already started singing along to the ancestor worship lyrics.

Correspondingly, the woman standing outside also stopped talking.

Inside the ancestral hall, there are tablets and incense tables for ancestors.

The table was filled with various offerings, such as fruits, cakes, pork, mutton, etc.

The atmosphere of the entire ancestor worship ceremony was solemn and dignified, and almost all the male members of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion were present.

They lit incense and worshipped their ancestors. They bowed three times devoutly and chanted something, praying for their ancestors to bless the family with peace and prosperity.

During the entire process, only Yuan and the women around her went in and out of the ancestral hall. The rest of the wives and girls stood outside and listened to the noise inside.

It was already dawn when Su Xinqing returned to her yard.

As for how Su Xinqing returned to the yard, she was naturally supported by the maid beside her.

Now she understood why Yuan did not let Chun Mingzhu come on such an important day.

It's not ancestor worship at all. It's still good for men, but for the girls who were brought up by them, they will really faint anytime and anywhere to show you.

Su Xinqing was not the only one in this miserable state. Shen Ruyan's face was extremely pale. Su Xinqing could clearly see from behind that Shen Ruyan's legs were shaking.

In the next two days, Su Xinqing was even less willing to go out. After all, the biggest thing was over.

However, what she didn't expect was that she would have to go back to her parents' home after the New Year.

"Can't I not go back? Can't we just send someone to deliver the New Year gifts like we did before the New Year? Why make another trip? Besides, the Li family doesn't want to see me that much." Su Xinqing had just recovered, her face full of rejection and unwillingness.

The most important thing is that not wanting to see me is already the best outcome.

If Li killed herself with a cup of poisoned wine, she would have no way to reason with him.

"Madam Third Young Master, Wangzhuyuan said that there was a letter from the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion, asking Madam Third Young Master to go back." Shan Lan answered truthfully.

After hearing this news, Su Xinqing was even more afraid to go back. Wasn't this a trap set for her that she would fall into if she went back?

She acted as if she was the only smart person.
