Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

Su Xinqing was packing up her new house, and the whole family at the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was also celebrating.

Zhang from the fourth room moved to Su Xinqing's Fufeng Pavilion overnight, fearing that she would be late and be preempted by others.

After all, before Chu Wei's wedding, Yuan also spent a lot of effort to renovate the courtyard.

At that time, Zhang took a fancy to this courtyard, but the old lady did not agree.

Now that the eyesore had been removed, the old lady waved her hand and agreed.

When Yuan and Jiang heard that Zhang was moving the yard with great fanfare, they scolded her harshly.

Marquis Zhenbei also brought Chu Mao and his wife and stayed in the mansion for two days.

Seeing that Yuan had visibly recovered and that his eldest son, though still ill, was in no serious condition, he gave instructions for the marriage of his eldest daughter and went back to the camp outside the capital.

Yuan was relieved to see the Marquis' Mansion restored to its original state.

He began to busy himself with preparing a dowry for his daughter, as if the past did not exist as long as no one mentioned it.

The housekeeper handed the household items back to Shen Ruyan's hands.

Although Shen Ruyan was feeling unwell in many ways, she did not dare to say anything because the doctor said that this baby was a daughter.

The pampered life that I once had is gone.

She could only be busy with things inside and outside the house every day with her big belly.

"Madam, two concubines are here to serve you tea!" The little maid came in from outside the yard and reported.

After a long time, he heard his master's order and hurried out to call for help.

The maidservant beside Shen Ruyan saw that her master looked unhappy, so when the two concubines came in, she asked someone to quickly serve tea and handed it to her master for a sip. Then she took out the purse that had been prepared long ago, put it in the concubine's hand, and asked someone to leave quickly.

"Master, don't be angry. It's not worth it if you get sick from anger." Cui'er, the head maid, consoled her, "Master, you should be more open-minded. Even if the concubines give birth to sons, they will be raised in your yard. Wouldn't that make Madam stop pushing you? The son will be smart only if he blooms first and then bears fruit. Aren't many ladies and old ladies partial to the youngest son? It's because the youngest son is smart, don't you think? Look at the Fifth Madam's room. Isn't the old lady stuffed a room of concubines in it? Madam is doing this to reduce the pressure on you, isn't it? The old lady is old, and she probably wants to see the offspring of the eldest grandson and the youngest son."

Shen Ruyan sighed heavily, and her brows gradually relaxed: "Fifth Madam, you have been married into the Marquis' Mansion for many years, but you have never had a legitimate son. The old lady only sent someone over now, but the mother-in-law is still angry with me."

Thinking of Su Xinqing, Shen Ruyan felt a lump in her stomach again.

I thought I had found someone who was easy to control for Chu Wei, but I didn't expect that he was actually a lunatic.

She was capable of anything and even made her husband sick with anger.

Thinking of the source of the incident, he asked Cui'er to deliver another letter to the Earl's Mansion.

In the afternoon, I received an apology gift from my cousin Yuan Lezhen.

Looking at the brocade box and some silk on the table, Shen Ruyan felt a little happier.

However, when Shen Ruyan saw the wedding invitation sent by the Yuan family the next day, her face darkened again.

Cui Er saw Shen Ruyan's face darken again, and asked carefully: "Master, is it that Miss Jingzhen's husband's family is not good?"

"Oh, how can she be bad? She is so good. If we see her again in the future, we must bow to her and greet her. We are too high to marry her!"

After she finished speaking, Shen Ruyan threw the wedding invitation in her hand to the ground.

Seeing this, Cui'er hurried over to pick it up. She knew only a few words and could recognize the word "Zhang".

Although Cui'er didn't know whether Yuan Jingzhen was marrying a specific young master from the Zhang family or not, she could guess a thing by looking at her master's attitude.

The young master of a duke's mansion, whose title is higher than that of the prince of a marquis' mansion, should be the prince of Duke Zhang's mansion.

"Master, please don't get angry. There is still a long time to go. How can we foresee the road ahead in one day?"

Cui'er knows her master, whom she has served since childhood, very well and has a strong competitive spirit.

The eldest daughter of the Yuan family just married into an earl's mansion, and it was an earl's mansion with no future. Although the other party was the legitimate son, the title of the earl's mansion would end with his generation, and three generations would end.

If he inherits the title again, he will be called Viscount, which is the fifth rank.

In the capital, there are viscounts of the fifth rank, but there is not much difference between having one and not having one.

There are kings, dukes and princes everywhere, but the first and second rank officials in the court and the fifth rank viscounts are of no use at all.

Therefore, every time the master mentioned the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, there was always a smile on his face.

Today, the second daughter of the Yuan family can get married at the Duke Zhang’s Mansion. Unlike other duke’s mansions, the Zhang family can be at its peak.

The Su family merely married the second son of the second branch of the Zhang family, and that was already a favor to Concubine Su.

The news of the marriage was known to everyone in the capital.

But now that the second daughter of the Yuan family has married so well, Cui'er really doesn't know what else she can persuade her master about.

"Cousin and aunt, you treat me as an outsider. You only informed me when it was time to propose. It seems like you treat me as an outsider." Shen Ruyan's face turned cold.

This isn't an invitation to a wedding, it's clearly a demonstration.

In fact, Shen Ruyan had wronged the Yuan family and Yuan Lezhen.

Yuan Lezhen was also confused at this time, and asked again in disbelief: "Did mother ask someone to mediate this marriage?"

"My dear young lady, I don't know. Madam just asked me to come and deliver the wedding invitation."

After hearing what the maid said, Yuan Lezhen realized that she had lost her composure.

He quickly asked someone to give him some silver and send him out.

At lunch time, the news that the second daughter of the Yuan family had married the son of Duke Zhang spread throughout the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion.

For this reason, Yuan Lezhen was kept in Songbaiyuan by the old lady for lunch for the first time.

In the afternoon, Li and several other families came over many times to inquire about the news.

It was not until the next day that I found time to go back to Yuan's house to inquire about the specific situation.

Of course Li did not stop it. After all, her daughter-in-law's family was capable, and her son's life would be easier in the future.

When Yuan Lezhen returned from the Grand Secretary's Mansion, Li asked Yuan Lezhen to pass on the reply again.

I thought I could get some useful information, but to my surprise, I was completely confused again.

All we know is that this marriage was arranged by the Zhang family.

The marriage was made possible by a matchmaker sent by the Zhang family to mediate.

Although the marriage came suddenly, Yuan's mother didn't want to miss it, so she made it happen.

Li didn't care about this. She didn't care about how Yuan Jingzhen's future life would be. What she cared about was that this relationship already existed.

The wedding was three months later, which seemed a bit hasty.

However, it is enough, because wealthy families often start preparing betrothal gifts or dowries after their children reach adulthood.

Yuan Jingzhen's dowry has also been almost prepared.

There are just some trivial items in the back.

Su Xinqing sat under the veranda in the courtyard, even though seven days had passed.

I still haven't gotten used to having an extra person on my bed at night.

Since moving into the mansion, Chu Wei walked in openly after dinner that evening.

On the second day, we were directly notified that we needed to have dinner in the main courtyard.

After finishing his dinner without being able to eat, the other party started to wash up in his own bathroom so blatantly.

And I can't drive the other person out.

Because every time I heard the door open, I would see the other person walking out in a dark robe, untied.
