Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

The old lady and the marquis looked at Yuan on the bed in surprise at the same time.

The gauze on his forehead was seeping with blood due to the struggle.

Others also looked at Su Xinqing with different expressions, and of course most people were happy to see it.

Among them, Fourth House Zhang and Little Zhang were particularly gloating over other people's misfortune.

After all, the courtyard of the marquis's mansion is only so big, and the Wanxiang Hall where they used to live was burned down. It would cost a lot of money to repair it.

Zhang was simply unwilling to spend even a tael of silver. No matter how much the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion was renovated, there would not be a single brick or tile for the four families.

"What my sister-in-law said is right, mother-in-law. You like quietness and seldom go out. You don't know what people outside have said about us, the Marquis of Zhenbei. Even though our eldest daughter is gentle and respectful to her mother-in-law, takes care of the household chores and raises children, she is still implicated by us and disliked by her mother-in-law. They say that our Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion can't even make ends meet and needs to deduct the daughter-in-law's dowry. Furthermore, our daughter-in-law's own sister is actually meeting a stranger outside and has no regard for propriety... Really, mother-in-law, brother, Yanran in our mansion is the best girl in the mansion, and she is treated like this. How sad must the girls in other rooms be..." Zhang continued to exaggerate.

"Wow... Grandma, the last time I went back to my parents' home, my sisters-in-law bullied me openly or secretly. I've been married to the Marquis of Zhenbei for several years, but my granddaughter-in-law has never been spoken of like this..." As she spoke, little Zhang also began to shed tears.

"Grandmother, uncle, even though there were many sisters in our family, nothing shameful had ever happened. Auntie had never been known to mistreat her daughter-in-law. Why did Third Sister-in-law cause so many disputes as soon as she entered our Zhenbei Marquis Mansion? Grandmother, uncle, Sister Mingzhu and I used to have invitations to many young ladies' poetry gatherings now. In the past six months or so, ask Sister Mingzhu how many invitations she has received. Even for poetry gatherings led by us, many young ladies are unwilling to bring them to our mansion... If this continues..."

Chu Qiaozhu opened her innocent, watery eyes, tears welling up in her eye sockets, and tried hard to appear strong.

Fifth Madam Jiang, although she did not say anything, when she saw her daughter's sad look, she hugged her in her arms out of heartache.

He patted her lightly a few times and looked at his mother-in-law.

She didn't say much, but her actions told everyone that she also disliked Su Xinqing.

The old lady looked at the expressions of her three daughters-in-law and had basically made a decision in her mind. However, her sons and grandsons were all present, so she still needed to give face to their descendants.

Then he asked, "Boss, what do you think we should do? After all, this is your eldest family's business."

The old marquis was suddenly asked: "..."

He looked at the bastard with a gloomy face, and then at his daughter-in-law with an indifferent expression.

I was in a dilemma for a moment, especially about my son. Ever since he joined the Jinyiwei, I was terrified every time I talked to him.

He was afraid that he would say something wrong and be arrested by his son and his men the next moment.

This kind of behavior of sacrificing one's own relatives for the sake of justice is quite uncommon among the Jinyiwei.

Isn't that exactly what happened to the eldest son of Duke Zhang? We can only say that Duke Zhang was lucky and escaped this disaster.

Therefore, at this moment, Lord Zhenbei really couldn't stand up and say this matter: "Son has no objection, let mother make the decision!"

The problem was pushed back to the old lady. It was originally an inner household matter. Since the lady was ill, it was reasonable to let the mother do it.

The old lady was not surprised to hear what her eldest son said.

Looking at the two people standing straight in the middle of the hall, he was about to speak when he was interrupted.

"Grandma, divorce is impossible. May I ask, which law of the Dali Dynasty did my granddaughter-in-law violate that would allow me and my mother-in-law to divorce me on behalf of my husband?" Su Xinqing looked at the old lady in front of her: "Divorce is not possible, but divorce is possible. I wonder if you can discuss it?"

There was no fear or anger in his eyes, but rather more indifference.

Even at the end, there was a hint of a smile on his face.

The old lady looked at her granddaughter-in-law and could not see the little girl in front of her for a moment.

Normally, shouldn't a young girl kneel down and beg for forgiveness from her husband's family? Why did she start bargaining?

"you……"

"Divorce? You have a nice idea. You were originally an abandoned woman, a concubine who was unwanted by the Su family. We in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion wanted you to have a tablet after your death so that you would not become a wandering ghost. You have been ruining the reputation of our Zhenbei Marquis Mansion everywhere. Mother-in-law, you must divorce this woman. Divorce will make people in the capital think that there is something wrong with our Zhenbei Marquis Mansion! Absolutely impossible!" When Yuan heard Su Xinqing's request, she felt inexplicably relieved.

A finger stained with Impatiens petals pointed sharply at Su Xinqing's face.

Fortunately, it was quite far away, otherwise either my face or my eyes would have been injured.

The Marquis felt very unfamiliar when he saw the ferocious look on Yuan's face.

He seldom goes home, and most of the time he only stays for a dozen days during the holidays.

Every time she came back, Yuan was dignified, generous, gentle and kind to others. When did she become a person with a scary face?

"Yuan..."

"Okay, Boss, since your wife has decided, let's do it this way. This mansion still needs Yuan to take care of it. I am an old woman with no health anymore..."

"Grandma, father, mother, Xinqing is my Chu Wei's legal wife!" He made the decision so easily after seeing the three people in front of him.

Chu Wei looked at the three people coldly.

His sharp eyes shot out a cold light, but he didn't say anything more.

The originally noisy room suddenly became quiet.

After a long time, Chu Yu walked out of the crowd and asked, "What do you mean, Third Brother? Do you not want to divorce your wife?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at his grandmother and father, and saw that they were also waiting for his third brother's opinion, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"But, the Su family's reputation is already like this, do you still want to continue?"

Su Xinqing: "..."

It's true that when you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext for it. In just a short while, her reputation was ruined.

He couldn't help but sneer: "My dear, is it my reputation that is bad? Or is it the reputation of the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion that is bad? You need to figure it out. What's the matter? You, the whole family, have convicted me based on your own opinions? Do you want to ask around? It's because of your greed, fear of death, and failure in your calculations. Your own harem has a bad reputation, so why do you care about a new bride like me? You really have ruined your brain by reading too much! You haven't read anything famous, it turns out that your brain is not good!"

After saying what was pent up in her heart, Su Xinqing felt relaxed both physically and mentally.

Looking at Chu Yu, whose face was as pale as pig liver, he swayed twice, and kindly signaled the maid behind him to help him up: "Your brain is not good to begin with, and if you fall on your head again, I guess you won't even know the hundred family names."

After hearing Su Xinqing's words, Chu Yu fell backwards with a plop.

Fortunately, the little maid had already stood behind Chu Yu after being reminded by Su Xinqing, and did not hold on to her.

Instead, I became a scapegoat.

"Ah...husband, what's wrong with you?"

"Yu'er? What happened to my Yu'er?"

"Yu'er?"

Except for Yuan who was lying on the bed, she was getting out of bed anxiously.

The others gathered around Chu Yu and asked about the situation.

The doctor who had just been sent out of the mansion came back and saw the eldest son of Zhenbei Marquis lying on the couch.

The doctor hurried forward to take the patient's pulse. After a moment, he looked at everyone with difficulty.

Shaking his head, he said, "My Lord, the eldest son is suffering from a heart attack caused by anger, which has caused the blood and qi to flow backwards. I can only prescribe some prescriptions for recuperation. The eldest son is young and strong, so I think he should rest assured and there shouldn't be any major problems."

After saying that, he picked up the pen and started writing the prescription.
