Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

Banyue and Shanlan behind him also lowered their heads guiltily, not daring to look directly at Su Xinqing.

Three days passed before Su Xinqing finally sent Shan Lan away and interrogated him alone for half a month, only then did she find out that Chu Wei had already rushed to the border.

Su Xinqing: "..."

Seeing that Ban Yue was trying to dodge and continue to conceal the truth, Su Xinqing threatened him sternly, "If you do this again, you will be forced to leave the yard and go to other yards to do work. I don't need you here anymore."

As she spoke, Su Xinqing's expression turned cold.

Upon seeing this, Banyue dared not hide anything anymore and just told the whole story.

The Fourth Prince accused the Crown Prince of evil intentions and collusion with the Northern Wei. The Northern Wei's letters and correspondence were searched out by the Embroidered Uniform Guards in the Crown Prince's residence.

The emperor wanted to depose the prince immediately, but was stopped by the queen. Duke Jiang and Marquis Wu'an also stepped forward to act as guarantor, risking the lives of everyone in the palace.

But no one expected that the Fourth Prince could get the evidence from the Prince’s Mansion. It was all because of the traitor in the Prince’s Mansion, the Crown Princess.

Upon hearing all this, Duke Jiang's Mansion immediately announced that it had severed its relationship with Jiang Xinrou.

When the Crown Prince confined the Crown Princess in the yard, Concubine Su's eldest son also met with an accident.

And Jiang Xinrou just disappeared in the Prince's Mansion.

After listening to Banyue's words, Su Xinqing realized that the peace and stability she had been experiencing during this period was real.

Everything is bloody.

After Jiang Xinrou disappeared, Duke Jiang went to the Prince's Mansion in person to apologize.

Unfortunately, he was assassinated on his way back home. Although he was not hurt, he had to recuperate at home for the time being.

The Crown Prince was originally suspected by the Emperor, and after this incident, the court became even more turbulent.

The emperor even sent the Embroidered Uniform Guard and people from the Northern and Southern Pacification Offices to search for evidence of the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince's collusion with the Northern Wei people.

Although Su Xinqing knew that things were not simple, all she had to do now was to live her own life behind closed doors.

Before Chu Wei left, he left Sixteen Seventeen and Liu the Great Escort Leader behind.

The heat and bustle of summer gradually fade away, and the color of the sky gradually transitions from rich blue to warm orange and yellow.

Although the sun is still bright, it is no longer scorching. As the autumn wind blows, the leaves turn from green to yellow, then from yellow to red, and finally fall gently like dancing butterflies.

As autumn deepens, the temperature gradually drops.

In the early morning and evening, mist covers the earth, adding a bit of mystery and haziness to the world.

At noon, the sun shines through the clouds, warm and bright, making people feel a little warm.

In the blink of an eye, winter is coming. The north wind is howling, bringing with it a chill. The sky becomes gloomy and gray, and snowflakes begin to dance in the air. They fall lightly, covering the ground and giving the world a layer of white silver.

The branches are covered with crystal icicles, sparkling with dazzling light.

People put on thick winter clothes and sat around the beach, enjoying the warmth and tranquility of winter.

"Tomorrow, I will arrange for more people to deliver my cousin's makeup. Be careful on the road and don't attract anyone's attention." Su Xinqing looked at the falling snow outside and said absentmindedly, "I think it's better to forget it. I will give my cousin some more money tomorrow. It won't attract anyone's attention and is more practical."

"Madam is right. However, you are pregnant and it is inconvenient for you to go out. My aunt just sent someone to remind you. Seeing that you are about to give birth, Nanny Meng and the others dare not let you go out." Shan Lan kept looking at Nanny Meng at the door while speaking.

Seeing that the other party looked serious and wanted to stare at the door for twelve hours a day, Shanlan was helpless.

Banyue has been tense ever since Su Xinqing mentioned Miss Song's marriage. When he heard Shanlan's words, he couldn't help but nodded.

"Well, I won't go." She knew her situation well. If something went wrong, it would add unhappiness to her cousin's happy event.

"It is said that a female corpse was found outside the capital. The clothes she wore looked very much like the concubine Wei from the Earl of Yongchang's mansion. How come someone who disappeared for so long suddenly appeared? Shan Qing, do you have any details now that you are back?"

Hearing that her master finally no longer wanted to go to the Song family to send off the bride, Shan Lan sighed softly, "She's back. Our people followed that Wei concubine half a month ago. It was Miss He who first discovered that Wei concubine had returned to the city. She had someone tie her up and kill her, and then threw her out of the city. This Wei concubine followed the guards and returned to the capital to rely on her identity as the mother of the young master of the Yongchang Earl's Mansion. She wanted to return to the mansion, but our people, following your instructions, led Miss He's maid to see her. After searching Wei concubine's body, they found only a few taels of silver, nothing else. Even the clothes she was wearing after she died were all coarse linen clothes. She must have been tricked out by the guards and all the family wealth was swindled away, so she came back shamelessly."

"I've never seen such a shameless concubine. She stole things and ran away, but she dared to come back. Tsk tsk... The Wei family can raise such a daughter. They are not a good family. I also heard that the Wei family took advantage of the concubine Wei's affairs. They are not afraid of those who wear shoes. They have already taken a lot of silver from the He family." Banyue said with disgust, with disdain for the Wei family in her eyes.

"So, these past two days, Miss He reported him to the police and he was sent to prison. It is estimated that it will be difficult for him to return to the capital in this lifetime. Even the offspring born by Aunt Wei were thrown in with Miss He. It is said that he has fallen ill. However, I have never seen Madam Yuan. Most of the time, it is Miss He, the unmarried girl, who comes out to entertain people."

Although Shanlan was puzzled, he did not investigate further. After all, it had little to do with his family.

"It's okay. You don't need to waste your energy on the matters concerning the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion. Just pay more attention to the developments in the city." Su Xinqing put her hand on her belly and felt the strong heartbeat in her stomach.

Things happening behind the scenes at the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion wouldn't be much better even without his secret push.

He Yuanling actually took control of the entire Yongchang Prefecture and cut off Madam Yuan's contact with the outside world.

It would definitely not be a good thing, not to mention that the eldest son of the He family and his family should be returning home soon.

There are always some clues. It would be difficult for He Yuanling to find a good family by relying on the legitimate daughter of Yongchang Mansion.

Therefore, when things reach a certain point, it will be a catastrophic disaster.

It's very similar to the Su family, which is in a state of distress now. They tried every possible means to bring Su Xinqing into the Prince's Mansion.

Now Su Xinya can't even protect her own children. With the death of Nanny Zhang, Su Xinya's left and right arms have basically been cut off.

What's more, Master Qian has also climbed up the social ladder, so he will not get involved in the fight for the crown prince.

As soon as the You hour passed, Su Xinqing felt something was wrong and felt severe pain in her lower abdomen.

"Banyue, Shanlan, quickly let the midwife in." Although Su Xinqing was panicked, she still tried to calm herself down.

What kept repeating in my mind was to adjust my breathing and accumulate strength.

Next, the entire backyard of the Chu Mansion was brightly lit.

In the delivery room, Su Xinqing's cries became weaker and weaker, and the midwife and maids were extremely busy.

There was a tense atmosphere throughout the Chu Mansion.
