Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

Chapter 13 Aunt Departs Beijing

Early the next morning.

Su Xinqing got dressed, ate a bun quickly, and sent the wet nurse out.

She took a silver note worth one hundred taels from her aunt's dressing box, hid it inside her clothes, and went out.

The cash my aunt left behind was not much, and the small change was heavy and conspicuous.

After thinking about it, she decided that banknotes would be more convenient. Jewelry and other things would not be of much help to Su Xinqing right now.

It would be more cost-effective to find an opportunity, find a suitable person, and take him out to exchange for money.

In the yard where her aunt lived, Su Xinqing saw her cousin. The packed package was now placed on the bed where her aunt was resting.

"Xin'er, you're here. Come over here quickly. Have you had breakfast?"

"Aunt, good morning cousin, I've eaten."

"Okay, then you play by yourself for a while, I'll be fine after I finish the porridge." Fang said, and then she didn't say anything else, she just wanted to finish eating quickly and leave early.

This way, we can reach the next town before dark and avoid sleeping in the wilderness.

Based on the experience gained along the way, if it weren’t for her son’s constant reminders, it is estimated that Fang might not have been able to reach Kyoto safely alone.

While eating, Song Hejin paid attention to Su Xinqing's little movements. He saw the two of them running to the bed and tossing around casually.

Because they didn't bring anything important with them, just a few old clothes, which didn't matter much.

While Song Hejin was distracted, Su Xinqing put the things into one of the packages under Luhe's cover.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and continued to look around curiously with Luhe, as if he had never been to the guest room.

Not long after the Song mother and son finished their breakfast, they saw Mother Xi, who was beside the eldest lady, coming.

"Madam, Master, the Madam needs to serve the old lady today, so I sent this old servant to take you out. I hope you will forgive me." Madam Xi bowed to Fang with her strong hands.

"It's okay. The Madam is very busy. We should thank her for taking care of us these past two days. How dare we blame her? Mom is joking." Fang looked at her niece who had come to her side.

Then he said to Xi's mother, "I'll have to trouble you to take care of my poor niece in the future. I hope you can say a few good words for my niece in front of the eldest lady."

"Madam, what are you talking about? The third young lady is a young lady in the mansion. It is up to me, a servant, to take care of her." Mother Xi quickly evaded the question. She did not dare to respond. She smiled and continued, "The carriage has been prepared for Madam and Master."

"Okay, thank the Madam for us. Since she has something to do, we won't bother her anymore."

"Madam, what are you talking about?" Xi's mother said in a shrewd manner, making it impossible to say anything bad about her.

Song Hejin had already taken his luggage and stood next to Fang and said, "Mother, let's go."

The boy's unique voice was heard. Seeing such a handsome boy, Xi's mother sighed: "Madam is so lucky to have such an outstanding young man."

"No, we are just country folks who can read a few words. We can't compare with the young masters in Kyoto. We just hope we won't be illiterate like me and his father." Fang said sincerely.

Little did she know that two years later, when Xi's mother saw that the boy had grown up and was someone she could not even look up to, she regretted so much that she let the fat boy run away.

I should have been ruthless enough to choose a good son-in-law at that time, otherwise my daughter could have been the wife of an official and would not have to follow me as a slave.

Fang held Su Xinqing's little hand and didn't let go until they reached the carriage at the door.

He also promised: "Next year when I'm not busy, your uncle and I will come to Kyoto to see you. Wait for your aunt and take good care of yourself." After saying this, he couldn't bear it and decisively got on the carriage and never came out again.

Song Hejin also came up, touched his cousin's head, looked at her deeply, and got on the carriage in a blink of an eye.

Su Xinqing looked at the shadow of the carriage in the distance, and the emptiness in her heart became even stronger. Perhaps it was because of her confusion about the future, or perhaps it was because of her longing for her loved ones.

However, now they have disappeared like the wind.

The kind smile on Xi's mother's face disappeared, and she turned to the tearful little person and said, "Miss, let's go in."

She nodded, still having to face the monsters in this house. However, when entering the house, Su Xinqing still helplessly supported Lu He beside her.

Luhe smiled naively, like a ray of sunshine in the warm winter.

He spent a few days peacefully in his own yard, and calculated that it was almost time for him to start his education in his previous life.

Early in the morning, Su Xinqing was informed by someone in the eldest lady's courtyard to go to Ningxiangju to meet the guests.

Su Xinqing was not interested and followed the person who came.

Behind her, there was a smaller figure, it was Lu He.

Both the master and the servant had their heads hung, looking listless.

Walking on the small path in the yard, the pebbles under my feet were uneven and a little slippery under the morning dew.

Su Xinqing had to support Luhe beside her from time to time.

Mother Xi, who might have really walked ahead and didn't see her, kept saying, "Third Miss, you will go to school with the eldest lady in the future, but be careful not to get up so late. Aunt Zhang and Master Qian won't wait for you. Aunt Zhang is an old maid in the palace, hired by the eldest lady at a high price. Master Qian is also a famous female teacher in the capital. Although you, the third lady, have not yet begun to learn, you can't delay the eldest lady's studies. If you don't understand something, you can wait until the end of the class and ask Master Liu in the mansion.

The eldest lady specially asked the old servant to prepare the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone for you to go to school. She also pitied you because the Virgin Mary had just passed away and there was no one to take care of you. She let you study with the eldest lady to save you from having random thoughts in the yard alone. You must remember the eldest lady’s kindness. The concubines of other young ladies wanted to send them to school, but the eldest lady refused. Madam Zhang and Master Qian also came to our house to teach because they were impressed by the eldest lady’s knowledge and character. Third Miss, please don’t make the two teachers unhappy..."

Hearing Xi's mother say this, Su Xinqing felt like she was enlightened.

My unclear mind suddenly became much clearer.

Aunt Zhang came into the mansion? Did Aunt Zhang come into the mansion so early in the previous life?

It turns out that in the previous life, Nanny Zhang had already entered the mansion so early?

As for what Xi's mother said about Master Qian, she knew about it.

It turned out that Nanny Zhang and Master Qian entered the mansion at the same time. No wonder Su Xinqing was shocked.

These two people were Su Xinya's right-hand men after she became the Crown Prince's Consort. Nanny Zhang was an expert in handling the privacy of the imperial palace.

There is also the issue of girls and women taking care of their health. In this regard, Nanny Zhang used to serve the imperial concubine in the palace. She is about fifty years old, but she takes care of herself like a woman in her thirties.

She also gave birth to a prince. Rumor has it that after the prince died, the former concubine became a nun.

Nanny Zhang was released. In the previous life, some people still doubted her ability, until Su Xinya, who had given birth to four children, still had the appearance and figure of an unmarried lady.

Only the ladies and young ladies in the capital believed it without a doubt.

He tried to find connections everywhere to get Aunt Zhang's secret recipe, but nine out of ten times what was passed on were fake.

Maintaining beauty and youthful appearance is not such a simple matter as relying on just a prescription.
