Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

"Okay, okay, sit down." Su Xinqing pulled Yuan Mingzhu's sleeve, motioning her to sit down, and continued to ask, "What are you going to do about this? You can't really just follow your mother's arrangements, right?"

It seemed that the previous unpleasantness between the two had disappeared.

Yuan Mingzhu stopped crying and wiped her tears. "Of course I don't want to. I don't want to marry that dandy boy. Third sister-in-law, you must help me think of a solution."

Su Xinqing pondered for a moment, "I'm afraid this matter is not so easy to resolve. However, we can make a long-term plan. First of all, you have to stand firm and make sure you don't want to marry that Mr. He? He Man'er's elder brother?"

Chu Mingzhu nodded: "How can I marry someone who doesn't like me like this?"

"Secondly, we can try to find some other ways to solve this problem. For example, let Mr. He give up voluntarily, or let your mother-in-law change her mind."

Yuan Mingzhu nodded, "Well, I understand. Third sister-in-law, you must help me. If I really marry that young man, I will die."

Su Xinqing sighed inwardly: "What are the attitudes of my mother-in-law and the wife of Marquis Wu'an?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Mingzhu's face turned even paler: "My mother and the wife of Marquis Wu'an have always had a very good relationship. When they have nothing to do, they will worship Buddha and drink tea together..." When she said this, Chu Mingzhu's voice became even lower. Because of this, she thought that this matter was a foregone conclusion.

That's why she didn't tell anyone and went to Fufeng Pavilion.

Su Xinqing: "..."

I was already devastated. It had already reached this point, and yet Chu Mingzhu actually came to find me.

Thinking of this possibility, Su Xinqing no longer cared.

Sure enough, when Chu Mingzhu looked up again, her eyes were already clear.

"Third sister-in-law, I want to see Lord Song again, may I know..." When Chu Mingzhu met Su Xinqing's gaze, she seemed to see a side of herself that no one knew.

Soon he lowered his head, trying to calm himself down, and then he continued to ask, "Third sister-in-law, can I?"

"Well, okay, tomorrow!"

Chu Mingzhu looked up. She didn't expect Su Xinqing to be willing to introduce her.

The guilt in her heart became even stronger. If Su Xinqing wasn't so smart and didn't know her little tricks, she could still take it for granted.

However, the other party has already noticed it and is still willing to help him.

Chu Mingzhu nodded slightly. She couldn't stay any longer and left in a hurry with her maid.

"Miss, what's wrong with Miss Mingzhu? Even if she is going to get married, the other party is the son of a marquis, he should not be so unhappy, right? Miss, Miss Mingzhu is about to get married, and they ask you to take her to see Lord Song. Isn't that too bad?" Banyue asked worriedly.

"No, it's okay, my cousin doesn't mind. Besides, I'm just going to my aunt's house. As for Chu Mingzhu, even if she wants to come with me, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, I'm your sister-in-law!"

The next day, before dawn, Su Xinqing brought Chu Mingzhu to the Song family's house.

Fang went to the mountain to worship Buddha with the wife of a shopkeeper.

The date agreed with the Buddha cannot be changed, and Su Xinqing doesn't care.

So, the small courtyard on the second floor was not very big, and the three girls were sitting in the hall drinking tea.

Originally, Song Hejing wanted to suggest going out for a trip first, but was rejected by Su Xinqing.

Because Chu Mingzhu seemed absent-minded, it would be troublesome if something happened again, so, to be on the safe side, she would rather sit and wait bored.

"Well, my elder brother should be back after court, so you just need to wait for a while, cousin." In a short moment, Song Hejing had gone from sitting properly to preparing to cross one leg.

Seeing that the two did not react, he simply curled up in the armchair.

"Cousin, when my aunt left, she said you were embroidering a purse recently? Do you want me to help you take a look? Are you embroidering it for my second cousin?" Su Xinqing asked proactively.

"Embroider for my second brother? What for him? Isn't it the purse you gave him last year? One for each of the three of us? Mine is still new, you see. My second brother doesn't have any money, so his purse is probably newer than mine."

"Um? Who are you planning to embroider the purse for, cousin? Are you going to use it for yourself?" While speaking, Su Xinqing had already seen the unfinished embroidery on the dressing table in Song Hejing's bedroom.

Song Hejing realized that she was seen, but she said nonchalantly, "I just embroidered it for fun. I saw that my cousin's purse was beautiful, so I imitated her and made one."

Seeing that if I didn't say anything, he looked at Su Xinqing straightly, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth that he couldn't suppress no matter how hard he tried.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to talk, Su Xinqing held her chin with her soft hands and raised her eyebrows slightly, saying, "I heard that my second cousin will bring a handsome colleague home at the end of the year. Well, I don't know what this colleague of my second cousin looks like. My aunt praised him a lot..."

Song Hejing's originally proud little face suddenly turned red.

He stood up and walked out in two or three steps. Before leaving, he did not forget to entertain the guests: "Miss Chu, please sit down first. I'll go to the kitchen to see if lunch is ready."

After saying that, he left as if escaping.

Banyue and Shanlan were speechless when they saw their own girl had driven away the angry man.

However, it was not until the room fell silent again that Su Xinqing regretted her decision.

Song Hejing left and no one talked to him.

Seeing Chu Mingzhu stirring the silk handkerchief and looking up towards the courtyard gate from time to time, Su Xinqing knew that no matter what she said to her, she would not answer seriously.

I don’t understand what Chu Mingzhu is so nervous about.

Is it okay? If not, forget it. After all, she is a noble lady, so she will never be bad.

However, Su Xinqing had no idea at that moment that this was the nervousness that came from facing the person she loved.

However, it was still not the lunch time that Song Hejing had mentioned.

Su Xinqing saw a tall figure in court robes appear in the courtyard of the Song family.

Half an incense stick later, Song Hejin, wearing a moon-white robe, sat in the main hall.

Su Xinqing wanted to leave, but she realized something was wrong.

I can only drink tea to cover up my inner embarrassment.

Su Xinqing had sent all the maids and old women in the hall out. But when she was about to leave the room for the two of them, her cousin called out, "Cousin, Miss Chu is in the same room with me alone. It's bad for Miss Chu's reputation!"

Song Hejin's cold attitude still allowed Su Xinqing to hear his displeasure.

Perhaps out of consideration for Chu Mingzhu's face, he did not say it explicitly, but the words at the beginning were already very obvious.

Su Xinqing turned around and saw Chu Mingzhu, whose eyes were still burning. She couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that she hadn't given up yet.
