Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

"Yes, Madam. A few days ago, I heard from the streets that there was unrest in the court. It seemed that the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince's men were fighting for the position of Salt Inspector. Although the Crown Prince is now the regent and the Emperor is still recuperating, the First and Fourth Princes seem to have not handled the Crown Prince's household affairs well. The affairs of Duke Jiang's Mansion have not been judged yet, and the Crown Prince is allowed to be the regent. Not to mention the court officials, even the princes are dissatisfied. The Crown Prince wanted to take this opportunity to insert his own people to fill the vacancy, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction. This time, for some reason, the two princes of the Duke's Mansion fought, and the master brought them back to the government office. There are about dozens of people who need to be questioned, and they must be busy in the government office by now, so he sent Sixteen back to tell you not to wait for him in the evening."

After Shan Qing finished speaking, he secretly glanced at his wife's face. Seeing that she was not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, why is the whole capital so chaotic now? Let's not go out. Let's wait until it's quiet. Miss, what do you want to eat? I'll go out and buy it for you." After hearing Shanqing's words, Banyue dared not let her girl go out. She wished she could lie in bed every day.

The girl's belly was getting bigger day by day.

Sometimes she was so nervous that she couldn't sleep.

"Okay, I get it. I get nervous seeing people like you. Aren't there still two maids? Shanlan, have the accommodations for Maid Meng and Maid Zhou been arranged?" Su Xinqing was unsure now.

The first time a young lady got into a sedan chair was also the first time she was pregnant in Su Xinqing's memory.

Seeing Banyue so nervous, she couldn't help but feel nervous too. However, although it was her first pregnancy, she also knew that the most taboo thing about pregnancy is the ups and downs of her mentality.

So, quickly change the subject and make yourself more relaxed.

"Everything has been arranged, madam, don't worry. Madam Meng is the master's old lady, and also the wife of the shop owner. She served in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion before leaving the house. However, she has been serving in the master's courtyard. Madam Zhou said that she was the master's concubine and someone who stayed behind. I am not very clear about her details." Shan Lan said truthfully.

"Well, it's okay. We just need to stay with the people chosen by our husband to enter the mansion!"

However, what Su Xinqing didn't know was that soon the position of Salt Inspector, which was being fought over by the Crown Prince, the First Prince, and the Fourth Prince, fell to a person who had never been heard of before, He Qi.

Su Xinqing, who was having lunch, was also surprised when she heard the news from Shanqing.

After not seeing each other for several months, Su Xinyu saw her third sister who was in a high position again. She was so graceful and elegant that she was indescribable.

"Mother-in-law, this is my third sister. She is now the wife of the third young master of the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion. Lord Song is also my third sister's cousin." Su Xinyu introduced to the old lady beside her.

"Wang, on behalf of my son, I would like to thank you." After saying that, he knelt down in front of Su Xinqing and was about to kowtow.

Su Xinqing looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, how could she really kowtow to them?

After all, there is a generation between them.

After some tugging, Su Xinqing accepted the things that Su Xinyu's mother-in-law brought over.

Yes, when Su Xinyu mentioned it, Su Xinqing realized that it was her cousin and Meng Xiang who had looked for He Qi several times.

Naturally, they had to investigate first, and they naturally didn't know what happened afterwards, but in the end, the position fell on He Qi's head at the emperor's request.

Su Xinqing didn't expect that, just that time, when she mentioned it to her cousin, her cousin became very anxious.

The Salt Inspector was a low-ranking official, but his actual power was very great.

Moreover, since the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Eldest Prince were all tempted, there were naturally many stories behind the scenes.

By the time the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the He family left, it was almost time for dinner.

Later, Su Xinqing heard the news that the second branch of the Su family had moved out of the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion.

As for what happened between the Li family and the second branch, Su Xinqing didn't really care.

In short, it is a good thing that the second room can move out. Su Xinqing also knows that Su Xinyu took her words that day to heart.

"After all, the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion is inherited by the legitimate son."

During the Great Heat season, it is like a raging fire, shrouded in endless heat waves.

The sky was like the lid of a furnace, hanging high above the head. The azure blue was tinged with a dull paleness. The sunlight was like countless sharp swords, piercing the earth mercilessly. Every inch of land seemed to be scorched.

The heat waves in the air rolled in, bringing with them a suffocating dullness.

Although it was a little cooler at night, the heat was still overwhelming. The stars were twinkling, but it was difficult to dispel the stuffiness that enveloped my heart.

Su Xinqing lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, and in her heart she was looking forward to the cool autumn breeze coming soon.

She was originally intolerant of heat, and because of her pregnancy, she hated going out even more.

People only walk around the yard in the morning and evening, and few people go out during the day.

Even though Song Hejing is a lively person, she doesn't like to go out very much.

"Banyue, go to the front yard to check on Chu Wei. Hasn't he come back yet? Didn't the matter between the He family and the Zhang family be resolved? Fifty lashes each. Could it be that the two families are fighting again?" Su Xinqing felt like her eyes were about to close, and Chu Wei hadn't come back yet. She felt like her brain was short-circuited, so what she said was incoherent.

Normally, if there is something going on, I would ask Shanqing to come early and let me know.

Banyue saw his own girl in this state, but she was still trying to keep herself together.

He consoled her, "Master, you should take a rest first. The master will probably be back soon."

Finally, what responded to Banyue was Su Xinqing's steady breathing.

Banyue saw this and signaled Shanlan to extinguish the extra candles.

The two of them quietly went out and waited outside.

However, what surprised the two was that at midnight, their master still did not come back, not even on the 16th or 17th.

After Shanlan and Banyue explained everything, they changed their clothes and hurried out of the house to look for someone.

When Su Xinqing woke up again, she heard the unusual silence outside the yard.

It was as if the entire yard was under someone's surveillance.

"Shanlan, Banyue, didn't your husband come back yesterday?" Su Xinqing put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands.

Look at the courtyard being grilled by the scorching sun.

Only the sound of cicadas is like a moving piece of music, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low.

Let people feel the vitality of summer.

"Madam, the master did not return last night." Shan Lan replied respectfully.

Su Xinqing frowned slightly, and a trace of worry rose in her heart. She turned her head, looked at Banyue and asked, "Have you sent anyone to inquire about the whereabouts of the master?"

Ban Yue quickly replied: "Don't worry, Madam. We have sent people to look for him. I believe there will be news soon."

Su Xinqing nodded slightly, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

She stood up, walked slowly to the window, pushed it open, and a wave of heat hit her face.

She stared at the scenery outside the window, wondering where Chu Wei was going.

"Madam, don't worry too much. Maybe the master was just delayed by something important." Shan Lan comforted softly.

Su Xinqing sighed slightly, "I hope so..."
