Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

"Third sister, you have really become a phoenix by flying up the tree. In front of grandmother and aunt, you spoke with open and indirect sarcasm. People who don't know you would think that your life in our Yong'an Earl's Mansion is very miserable. Third sister, we are all daughters of the Su family. We are of the same blood outside. You speak nonsense outside like this. Do you know that we sisters will also be laughed at? If you can't speak, don't speak. If you don't have money, don't learn to do good deeds. What's more, this is a conspiracy by Jiang Xinrou. You are just trying to hand the handle of eldest sister to Jiang Xinrou. You have also learned the rules from Aunt Zhang for several years. Why don't you think about the Yong'an Earl's Mansion, grandmother and eldest sister, and have to drag us to be laughed at with you!"

Su Xinru was also furious. She stood up and, without even looking at her mother's expression, she started to yell at Su Xinqing.

Only after I finished saying what was weighing on my mind did I breathe a sigh of relief.

What they didn’t notice was that the people who had just looked unhappy now had red faces.

Originally, he was looking at Su Xinqing alone with a knife-like gaze, but now he was looking at both of them, wanting to send them both away directly.

"Ah...what did Seventh Sister say? I didn't say anything nonsense. Besides, the Crown Princess wants to do something for the disaster victims, shouldn't we all support them? Every courtyard of the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion brought things over, how can I be a coward and back down because I don't have money? I will take whatever I can get. The Crown Princess is doing a good deed. I remember Concubine Su also sent things over. Why did it change its meaning in Seventh Sister's mouth today? What do you mean by giving Concubine Su's handle to the Crown Princess? What handle does Concubine Su have? Concubine Su is dignified, virtuous and kind, how can she have any handle? Seventh Sister, you shouldn't have listened to rumors that you shouldn't have believed?"

Su Xinqing looked at the other person in confusion, and then suddenly realized and looked at the other person in shock.

A pair of beautiful eyes were filled with fear, and he took a step back, away from Su Xinru, as if there was something terrible about the other person.

"You...what nonsense are you talking about...I..."

"The third young lady is joking. Ru'er didn't mean that. Ru'er was just kidding you. I haven't seen the third young lady for a while. She's very eloquent. Even the other young ladies in the Su family combined are not as sharp-eyed and sharp-tongued as the third young lady. Mother-in-law, you were wrong about her before. The third young lady in our mansion is the most capable one. She is now well-known throughout the capital." Wei's delicate face was covered with thick makeup, and when she smiled, the powder would fall off at any time.

There hasn't been much change in the Li family over the years, but she herself has wrinkles visible to the naked eye.

I have tried various methods, but still cannot hide my aging appearance.

She was obviously a few years younger than Li, but now when she went out to attend banquets, others even thought she was older than Li. How could Wei Zhilan bear this?

From then on, she would put on thick makeup and wear brightly colored clothes whenever she went out.

So, now when Wei spoke, she thought she was pinching her throat and smiling like a flower.

However, in front of so many young juniors, he seemed out of place and pretentious.

"Aunt San, you think too highly of Xinqing. I am the poorest girl in our Su family. There is a saying that goes, 'When you are poor, you have low aspirations.' Xinqing has no other ambitions but to live a good life in the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion. Fortunately, my mother-in-law is easy to get along with. The monthly allowance of 100 taels of silver has made Xinqing follow the orders of the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion."

"One hundred taels of silver per month? You are not lying, are you?" Wei opened her eyes wide and looked at Su Xinqing in disbelief, as if she wanted to find evidence of her lying from Su Xinqing's face.

"Okay... Third Miss... you go back and take a look..." The old lady sat on the high seat, frowning as she looked at her young daughter-in-law and illegitimate granddaughter.

Just when she was about to ask this unlovable illegitimate granddaughter to go back and see her aunt, the nanny beside her reminded her and changed the tone and said, "Go back to the yard before you got married and take a look!"

Hearing the old lady sending people away, Su Xinqing did not struggle and stood up respectfully to leave.

After leaving the old lady's yard, Su Xinqing did not go back to her previous yard. There were only a few shabby houses, what was there to see? There was not even a decent flower or plant in the yard except for the trees.

Besides, it’s far away, and she wants to eat the old lady’s food during lunch.

It was only in the old lady's yard, even though the old lady had a bad temper, disliked herself and was in a bad mood.

After all, he is a person whose body is half buried in the ground, so he is still reluctant to have anything happen in his own yard. When he is old, he cannot bear to see such fighting and killing.

"Third sister, you made it so hard for us sisters to find you." Su Xintao sneered and walked towards the pavilion where Su Xinqing was sitting.

Su Xinwan, who looked tired, was standing next to them. When the two men saw Su Xinqing, who looked relaxed, their faces turned even colder.

Su Xinqing saw the two of them raised their eyebrows and replied with a smile: "I wonder what you two sisters want to talk to me about? Oh, I haven't congratulated fourth sister yet. I heard that the concubine in the fourth sister's yard is pregnant? Congratulations, congratulations, when the child is one month old, I will definitely have someone send a gift. A bastard is also a son, fourth sister, don't you think? In the future, he will also be filial to his mother. Looking at the fourth sister's husband, he really cares about the fourth sister. Giving birth is so dangerous, the fourth sister's husband directly asked others to do it for the fourth sister."

Su Xinwan: “…” She wished she could go up and tear the other person’s mouth apart.

There was a raging rage burning in his chest, and his delicate little face turned pale and red.

Su Xintao saw that Su Xinwan was very angry. Although she also looked down on the daughter of Jiangnan Shouma, she still took over the conversation: "Fourth brother-in-law is naturally good to fourth sister. It was fourth brother-in-law who sent fourth sister here today. Now he is talking to father in the front yard. What's the matter? Third sister, third brother-in-law? He didn't have time today to come back with you? Does he look down on our Yong'an Marquis Mansion? Or third sister, you are not liked by third brother-in-law?"

"Oh? Fourth brother-in-law? You're here today too? What a coincidence, Concubine Su is back today, hehe... I don't know if Fourth brother-in-law wants to get along with the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion, is it for Fourth sister's sake, or for Concubine Su's sake, hehe..." After saying that, he stopped talking, picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth.

This was a treatment she had never had before she got married, and Shanlan had to beg for it from the small kitchen in the old lady's yard.

You know, since she traveled to this world, she had only eaten pastries from the small kitchen once.

This is the second time that Shanlan has taken advantage of his power to bully others.

I took a light bite of the walnut crisp in my hand, but it wasn’t as delicious as I had imagined, so I put it down quickly.

On the contrary, the top-grade Dongting Biluochun tea in the old lady's courtyard was excellent. Looking at the increasingly darker faces of the two men, Su Xinqing noticed that the tea in her hand tasted even better.

Sure enough, the best defense is offense.
