Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

"But... wuwu... mother, if they like my eldest sister, they should just marry her. Why are they playing tricks on me?"

Su Xinwan couldn't understand. Logically speaking, since the other party liked her elder sister, shouldn't he be nicer to her?

Thinking back to noon, He Yuanming's eyes were always following his elder sister, and Su Xinwan couldn't stop crying.

I thought I was marrying the son of a wealthy family, but I didn't expect that I was so unlucky in the end.

"Okay, okay, Wan'er, don't cry anymore..."

After an incense stick of time, Su Xinwan's mood completely improved, and the hatred at the corners of her mouth was just covered up by the thick night.

Zhenbeihou Mansion

Su Xinqing experienced a thrilling day and was almost sent to jail.

Although I was very happy and comfortable at my aunt and uncle's house in the afternoon, the presence of three people who were not good at talking still somewhat spoiled the mood.

Fortunately, Chu Wei and his cousin soon went about their own business.

When she lay in bed at night, she remembered why Meng Xiang, whom she met at noon, looked somewhat familiar.

After a moment, she found it. It was a very small portrait in the interlayer of the makeup box her mother left for her. She discovered it by chance.

He has a cool and handsome face, deep and bright eyes, and holds a folding fan in his hand. He is about twenty years old, in the prime of his youth.

A jade hairpin fixed it. There was a small mole between his eyebrows, which added a unique charm to his originally cold face.

He was wearing a white robe with a black belt around his waist and no extra decoration.

But he gives people a feeling of being noble and unattainable, especially the mole between his eyebrows. His eyes and eyebrows are almost 90% similar to the current Prime Minister Meng.

Although no one gave her an answer, Su Xinqing could now understand the strange look in the other person's eyes. Looking back, it was as if they were looking at herself, but also as if they were looking at others through herself.

After all, the other party also helped her at that time, and Su Xinqing just thought it was a normal exploration.

I want to see what kind of wife the dreaded Northern Pacification Chief married and how he is still alive and well.

It's not like she hasn't encountered this before. When she was at the height of her fame and as the younger sister of Concubine Su, she was looked at from head to toe.

Su Xinqing put the painting back into the dressing box and stopped studying it. The memories of the previous generation were gone.

However, the next day, this small painting arrived at the front yard of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

After Chu Wei looked at it carefully, he asked Shan Lan to put it back to its original place.

For a long time afterwards, Su Xinqing rarely went out.

First, there are more and more disaster victims in the capital, and there are occasional robberies of money and property, and some people even lose their lives.

The prefect of Jingzhao was reprimanded and demoted to Gongcao Canjun.

Lord Wei from the Capital Military Department was directly dismissed from his post and replaced by someone from the Zhang Guogong family.

Su Xinqing just listened to these things, she didn't care much about them. She only knew that many disaster victims flocked to her farm outside the capital.

Although the manager was forced by the situation to take in hundreds of people, thousands of people have now arrived.

The manager was at a loss and could only ask for help from the boss, who was naturally Su Xinqing.

You know, there are still several thousand stones of grain on the farm.

"Shanlan, are you familiar with any escort agency?" It would be useless to send more servants there. It would be a waste of manpower and they might not be able to protect their property, although she didn't mind feeding the victims.

However, we must know that human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. If one of the victims had bad intentions, not only the lives of other victims in the village, but also the lives of the manager and the mother and son of the Cao family might be in danger.

"Madam Third Young Master, why bother to go far away? The Third Young Master has an escort agency under his name. As far as I know, the escort chief Liu should be in the capital recently. The situation outside is not good now, and there are fewer people going out on the ships. Without the escort chief Liu and the brothers in the escort agency, they are all empty. Madam Third Young Master sent them to look at the farm, which is a good opportunity for them to try out their skills." Shan Lan looked at his wife with burning eyes.

Su Xinqing did not see the excitement in Shanlan's eyes, but was thinking about the feasibility of what Shanlan said.

After dinner, Su Xinqing came to Chu Wei's yard again.

Unfortunately, the person hasn't come back yet.

"Shanqing, does the Third Young Master come back so late every day? Does he have dinner in the mansion? Or in the government office?" Su Xinqing had been waiting for more than half an hour, and her waist was aching from sitting so much. There was still no sign of him coming back, so she might as well find some topics to ask, otherwise she would seem like a conscienceless wife.

He destroyed the bridge after crossing it, and threw the people over the wall after using them. If it weren't for Manager Shen, her food probably wouldn't have been returned so smoothly.

"Reporting to the Third Young Master's wife, the Third Young Master comes back after having dinner outside every day. It seems that he comes back relatively late these two days, and he didn't come back until the hour of Hai the night before yesterday." Shan Qing bowed his head and answered.

Su Xinqing looked at the other person in surprise and repeated, "Hai Hour?"

"Yes, Madam San Shao, the capital has not been peaceful recently. The military department of the capital has borrowed personnel, and the third young master has also been temporarily seconded there. They caught some disaster victims who were causing trouble. Some needed to be repatriated to their hometowns, and some seemed to be sent to the quarry outside the city. There were too many people, so they were said to be put in prison. The third young master wrote a letter to send them to some places that needed a lot of labor. Those who were willing to go, the government office was responsible for sending them there. Those who were unwilling to go would be exiled next year."

"Is that so? Oh, then I'd better come back early tomorrow. What time will the Third Young Master leave home tomorrow morning?" After hearing so many things from the other party, Su Xinqing looked at the sky and gave up today.

"Three quarters past the hour of Mao!" Shanqing answered decisively.

Su Xinqing: "..."

Three quarters past the hour of Mao? Su Xinqing, now I can understand that most men nowadays are chauvinistic.

Anyway, she was required to go home at 11:00 p.m. and go out at 1:35 a.m., and she couldn't last a day.

On the other hand, it might have been possible in the past, but now she has adapted to the work and rest schedule of this era and the leisurely days. She really can't do it like she did in her previous life, working like a slave.

Reincarnate again!

Chu Wei's salary belongs to the family. He gets up early and works late every day to find a good future for his children and wife. His wife stays at home to socialize, serve her parents-in-law, and have children.

If a boy is born, his education is still the father's responsibility, and only girls will be raised in the backyard.

It sounds quite reasonable.

It is better than my previous life, when children were born and raised by women, and when parents-in-law were sick, the daughter-in-law still had to take care of them. Most importantly, women still had to go out to work.

Although she earns less money, she is still discriminated against by her in-laws. So, what does the woman get from this marriage?

Domestic violence leading to death cannot get reasonable justice. It is just a family conflict and is easily covered up in one sentence.

This has directly led to many girls choosing not to marry or have children in order to ensure safety.

Now that I think about it carefully, if the man I married wasn't someone like He Yuanming who had bad intentions, it would actually be a good deal. Well, it's not so bad.

However, this was only limited to women from wealthy and powerful families. The tenants and ordinary people living at the bottom of society still suffered terribly.

It was like these disaster victims, many families with daughters began selling their sons and daughters.

The imperial court’s disaster relief did not arrive in time!

On the second day, Su Xinqing still didn't wait for Chu Wei, but heard incredible news.
