Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

Therefore, at this moment, Su Xinqing is alone and is fighting alone.

On the opposite side were the young ladies, led by Su Xinru, who were eyeing them covetously.

It seemed that as long as Su Xinqing had any different opinions, she would be beaten up immediately.

"Sister Xinru, no, you misunderstood me. I... I'm slow, and I'm just... worried that I'll miss out on your filial piety. I've promised you to embroider a screen with the Four Gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum as your coming-of-age gift. I haven't been going to Master Qian's and Aunt Zhang's classes recently. I've been concentrating on embroidering screens in the yard, so I really don't have much time to help your aunt embroider the purse. I hope Sister Xinru will apologize to your aunt, or I'll go and apologize to your aunt now?" Su Xinqing turned around and walked towards the old lady's yard.

At the same time, count silently in your mind: "one, two, three..."

"Wait, forget it, forget it, you don't have time, just remember this, don't forget it, wait until big sister's coming-of-age ceremony is over, and do it quickly, understand." Su Xinru looked at Su Xinqing, who was older than her, with disgust in her eyes, saying: "I don't know why you follow big sister every day, but you haven't learned the style of a noble lady at all. Even if your appearance is a little worse, you should be better at playing chess, calligraphy and painting. In five years, even a pig can become smarter, not to mention that you are the lady of our Yong'an Earl's Mansion. It's really unlucky. Being a sister with someone like you is just embroidery, but look at the way you dawdle... When I say something, you lower your head, as if someone is bullying you. It's boring, let's go!"

Su Xinwan, Su Xintao and a few others followed Su Xinru and left.

Even after walking a long way, Su Xinqing could still feel the two people's unfriendly gazes on her.

Over the years, Su Xinqing has been with Su Xinya most of the time, and rarely encountered such a situation of being surrounded by sisters at home.

However, as Su Xinya's coming of age date approached, Master Qian and Nanny Zhang mostly did not allow her to study with her elder sister.

Although Su Xinqing did not study very well, she was always at the bottom of the class.

The two still couldn't feel at ease, so now Su Xinqing had no school to go to.

It wasn't that she wanted to embroider in the yard, but Master Qian deliberately found an excuse to ask her not to go to Luming Hall again.

"Miss, are you okay? Miss Seven, Miss Four, and Miss Six are not looking for you, right? Miss, are you hurt anywhere?" Banyue walked in quickly from outside the garden and asked anxiously.

"It's okay. What could possibly happen to me, your girl? I can handle everything easily." In front of Banyue, Su Xinqing smiled knowingly.

It was lunch time, and every courtyard was busy serving the master.

Therefore, there were very few people in the back garden, and it made sense for Su Xinru and the others to choose this time and place.

Otherwise, if the reputation of bullying sisters spreads out, it will be difficult for her to marry into a good family, let alone get married in the capital.

Only then could Su Xinqing speak without restraint and pretend to be stupid in front of outsiders.

If she continued to be like this in front of Banyue, Su Xinqing would probably become a fool.

"Girl..." Banyue felt relieved when he saw his girl's cheerful smile, and at the same time he looked around vigilantly.

When he didn't hear any more noise, he patted his chest and said carefully, "Miss, let's go back. After the ladies serve the old lady, it's time to come out. It's bad to run into someone."

After hearing Banyue's words, Su Xinqing did not refute. After all, it is better to be safe than sorry.

After the two returned to Muxueyuan and had a simple lunch, Su Xinqing assigned the other maids to go out.

Banyue was left alone to serve her during her lunch break. Although it was called serving, in reality it was just the master and servant, one sleeping on the bed and the other sleeping on the beauty couch, chatting while preparing for a nap.

"Miss, Madam Song wrote to say that the double-sided embroidered screen you made last month was bought at a high price. I have already put the 150 taels of silver in your makeup box. Miss, now you have only your embroidery and it will be snatched away soon. Should we use this time to embroider a few more pairs? Otherwise, when the eldest girl reaches the age of 15, the eldest lady will ask you to help the embroiderers in the mansion embroider her wedding dress. The last time I was in the eldest lady's courtyard, I heard the two sisters Xia Kui and Xia Xue talking about this matter. They said that Madam Xi has already finalized a few embroiderers to assist you, young lady."

When talking about this matter, Banyue was filled with anger. They were both ladies from the Earl's Mansion, although there were differences between legitimate and illegitimate children.

However, for her young lady, the difference is a little too great.

Not only are the food and clothing the worst in the mansion, but the monthly allowance is also the least.

Not only is she bullied by a concubine's daughter who is younger than her own daughter, but she has no way to seek justice. All the bitter consequences are borne by her own daughter alone.

"Well, stepmother hasn't said anything yet, so don't worry. By the way, does aunt have enough money? Did you leave some for aunt and uncle to use as household expenses? My eldest cousin is not in the capital now, so I should take better care of him. After all, my aunt and uncle stayed in the capital because they were worried about me. They have no other livelihood in the capital except for the small teahouse. My cousin is in the academy and needs to study, so the expenses are bound to be large."

"Miss, don't worry. How could I forget what you told me? I always leave ten taels of silver for Madam Song and my uncle. But Madam Song asked me to ask you when you will leave the house. She wants to see you. She said that she hasn't seen you for more than half a year, and she doesn't know how tall you have grown, or whether you have lost weight or gained weight?" Banyue thought of Fang's worried face and recounted Fang's words carefully.

She was afraid that she might have said less, because she knew that her daughter's closest relatives were the Song family, especially Fang.

Every time the girl went out to see Fang, she would be happy for several days. However, the girl was old, and the eldest lady had specially sent two maids to watch over her more strictly. It was not possible for the master and servant to crawl through the dog hole together like when they were children.

What's more, he disappeared for such a long time, the eldest lady would definitely notice it, so he could only go out once every half a month to contact the Song family.

"Well..." Su Xinqing couldn't think of an answer for a long time after hearing Banyue's words, because she knew that Su Xinya would be coming of age in three months, and would have to leave home to recuperate soon.

I just hope that the Li family will be kind enough to let me go out.

As for after Su Xinya was no longer in the mansion, it was estimated that Li would not think of taking her out to any banquets, big or small, in the capital.

Because in Li's eyes, since Su Xinya was not in the house, there was no need for Su Xinqing to appear in her sight.

It's really a long way to go out.

"Miss?" Banyue thought his girl was asleep, so he called her softly.

"It's okay, let's take a nap. I'll try to find a chance to go out before my eldest sister comes of age." Su Xinqing said lightly.
