Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

Su Xinqing couldn't help but look over, although she could roughly guess what was going on.

After all, we still have to listen to what the rumors outside are like.

"This? My mother said that I could just listen to these things but must not tell anyone else, saying that it was not for girls to hear..." Jiang Miaojin lowered her head, clutched her handkerchief, and did not dare to look at the two men.

However, Su Xinqing had already seen Jiang Miaojin's blushing face.

Jiang Miaojin's appearance made Song Hejing scratch his head and want to know the answer.

Half a minute later, after Song Hejing's soft and hard persuasion, Jiang Miaojin slowly said: "My mother said that Master Zhang is not a decent person and has a mistress in the backyard."

Song Hejing: "..."

Continue to stare at the other person until you are sure that Jiang Miaojin really didn't say anything else.

Then he sat down and said disappointedly: "I thought you were going to talk about something. It's just a concubine. Which rich family has one missing? And I think there is not much difference between taking a concubine before marriage and taking a concubine after marriage. Why do you have to say that it is wrong to take a concubine before marriage?"

"Cousin, Miaojin, there may be other things that I haven't finished talking about. Please wait a moment..." Su Xinqing looked at Jiang Miaojin's increasingly red face and spoke for her.

"What? Hey, Jiang Miaojin, if you don't say anything, I'm going to get angry. Could it be that Prince Zhang has more than one concubine? Or has he raised a skinny Jiangnan horse? More than one?"

"No, it is said that there is a man who is very much liked by Master Zhang. It has been quite some time. There is a small courtyard in the backyard of the Zhang family where they keep him. Many servants of the Zhang family know about it, but few people have seen him. It was at the Peach Blossom Banquet held in the Mansion of Duke Zhang a few days ago that the dissolute Ninth Young Master of the Taifu family saw him. He was said to be shocked by his beauty and could not stop thinking about her. He privately went to various brothels to inquire about her, and then the news spread!" After saying this, Jiang Miaojin covered her face with a handkerchief.

It wasn't until Banyue came in with tea that Song Hejing realized, "Then, why did Prince Zhang marry Yuan Jingzhen? Just for show?"

Su Xinqing almost vomited the tea she drank.

When Jiang Miaojin heard what Song Hejing said, she lowered her head and stopped talking.

Duke Zhang's Mansion.

As Yuan Jingzhen listened to the words of the maid beside her, the powder on her face fell off bit by bit.

"Miss, I have been secretly guarding the gate of that courtyard for half a day. The prince has not come out since he went in last night. I also saw the meals delivered, and they were all shared by the two masters. Why should I do that? He is just a prostitute, and the lowest class at that. There are more than a dozen servants serving in the courtyard, which is more than the number of people in your courtyard. Miss, if your son-in-law is sucked dry of his essence by that prostitute every day, how can you get pregnant and give birth to a child for the Zhang family?" The maid made her lie on the remote wall of the courtyard and told her what she saw.

Yuan Jingzhen smashed the entire set of porcelain in front of her.

"Miss, don't be impulsive. It seems your husband is young and doesn't know the seriousness of the matter. You should be patient for now. We need to think carefully. This is not your own house. Don't be impulsive or you will ruin such a good marriage. However, she is just a lowly prostitute from a shady place." The wet nurse came over, changed the cups for her master, and comforted her.

The master and his two servants discussed in the room until dinner time before coming out.

During dinner, Yuan Jingzhen stood obediently behind Lady Zhang, serving dishes, and only ate her dinner carefully after being allowed to sit down.

Lady Zhang Guogong glanced at her daughter-in-law who had just entered the room and nodded with satisfaction: "Xiu'er, she has been studying hard recently. As her legal wife, you should understand and not lose your sense of propriety, understand?"

"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows." Yuan Jingzhen stood up and bowed in response.

"Sister-in-law, Jingzhen is indeed a girl from a scholarly family. She has her own style of doing things, unlike my family..." Little He looked at Su Xinru who was sitting below and sneered, "She is always jealous of Auntie. She can't help at all. I really misjudged her. She is useless."

Su Xinru, who was holding chopsticks and preparing to pick up some food, looked at her husband sitting next to her with tears in her eyes.

I hoped that the other party could speak up for me, but it seemed like the other party didn't see anything.

"Mother-in-law, I didn't..." Su Xinru defended herself.

She didn't know why, everything was fine before the marriage, but after the marriage, her mother-in-law changed her attitude.

"No, nothing. Tell me yourself, what did you do at home? You were glaring at the aunt in Heng'er's room all day long. Those who know would think that you don't like the aunt, and those who don't know would think that you don't like me, your mother-in-law!" Xiao He's voice gradually rose from low to high, and then she started to roar.

He didn't notice how ugly Zhang He's expression was.

"I...mother-in-law, husband...I didn't..." Su Xinru has experienced Xiao He's methods in these days.

Every time she confronted someone head-on, she would suffer. Now she gradually understood that Xiao He had an irritable temper and ruthless methods, but her temper could be flared up at any time.

"Cry...you just know how to cry. If you don't know, you might think that our Zhang family has done something to you..."

"Enough!" Zhang He suddenly shouted, glared at everyone, snorted coldly, and left.

Lady Zhang, Duke of Zhang, glanced indifferently at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the second room, and left as well.

Naturally, this little incident of Duke Zhang's had not spread out. After all, there would always be friction in the mansion of any wealthy family.

Three months after Su Xinqing's death, she received a notice from the neighboring mansion. The maid who delivered the message said in her words that Su Xinqing was unfilial and disrespectful.

Not only did he not go to the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion to pay his respects, but he also did not come to see his sister-in-law off when she got married.

However, before the nanny left, she saw a group of people coming into the yard.

"Aunt, Madam Liu, Madam He, cousin, Aunt Miao..." Su Xinqing hadn't seen her aunt for several days, but she didn't expect that she would come at such a coincidence.

"Cousin, who is she? Where did this old nanny come from? Why does she look so unhappy? Isn't she the old nanny you just bought into the mansion? She is so old, what is she doing here? It's a waste of money!" Song Hejing looked at each other unhappily and stood directly in the position of the old nanny just now.

If it weren't for Nanny Chen's nimble hands and feet, she would have sat on the ground with just this one move.

"That's not right, cousin. This is Nanny Chen from my mother-in-law's side. She came to ask me to go to the Marquis' Mansion to pay my respects to my mother-in-law. Isn't it? I'm planning to go there now." Su Xinqing spread her hands helplessly.

"Huh? You've just gotten pregnant, and I've asked you to go to the Marquis' Mansion to pay your respects. Come on, I'll go with you to see what kind of old hag is so evil-hearted. She's not your brother-in-law's biological mother. The baby in your belly is not her grandson. The Zhenbei Marquis's wife is her granddaughter, but she caused her to give birth prematurely, not to mention you, the legitimate wife of a bastard."

Everyone knew about Song Hejing's straightforward temper.

Only Nanny Chen was there, stunned for a while before she reacted: "How dare you slander our Marquis' wife like this..."
