Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

The moment she closed her eyes, Su Xinqing felt free and unrestrained.

Now Su Xinqing is almost always counting down the days until she reaches the age of 15 so that she can live a comfortable life.

Otherwise, she would have been trapped to death in this wealthy family. Only by listening to Banyue talk about what was happening outside, or by reading letters to her cousins, could she feel her own existence, rather than being a puppet. She wanted to resist, but society would not allow it.

After my eldest cousin and my aunt went back, my eldest cousin Song Hejin successfully won the first place in the autumn examination. However, my cousin had to wait for three years before he could take part in the imperial examination.

So, last year, my cousin made great progress and won the first place in the imperial examination at the young age of 20. Emperor Jingxuan personally selected him as the top scholar.

However, my cousin had a shallow foundation and no one in the court, so he was assigned to be the magistrate of a small border town.

This year is the second year and there is still one year left in his term. Although my cousin rarely mentions the county where he is in his letters, he always selects some small things and asks people to bring them over along with the letters.

However, just by looking at the attitudes of my stepmother and half sisters, I knew that the place my cousin went to was not a good place.

If things go wrong, your whole life will be ruined there.

Because when the people in the mansion just found out that it was their cousin who won the top spot in the imperial examination, they heard all kinds of congratulations and flattery.

Even though her Muxueyuan was extremely remote, it could not stop them.

Even the old lady would ask a few questions when I went to pay my respects.

That was the only time the old lady looked at herself and asked herself questions.

After my cousin rejected the marriage proposal from Duke Zhang's Mansion, he was assigned to Xinshui County, a remote and barren place.

On the day when her cousin left, Li rejected Su Xinqing's request to leave the house.

From that day on, she never saw her cousin again. She even saw her aunt's family only occasionally when she went out with her elder sister or burned incense.

What an evil lady from a noble family, she doesn't even have basic personal freedom.

No wonder I was so miserable in my last life.

Therefore, in this life, she not only wants revenge, but also has to make money to ensure that she and her aunt's family have enough food and clothing.

That is, I don’t know why my cousin’s career in this life was much more bumpy than in his previous life. I vaguely remember that my cousin in the previous life quickly established his foothold in the court. As for whether he married the daughter of Duke Zhang, she had no way of knowing.

However, thinking about it carefully, my cousin should have married the daughter of Duke Zhang's mansion. Otherwise, with my cousin's family background, it would be impossible for him to have a place in the capital, a place where people are eaten by others.

However, what Su Xinqing didn't know was that in her previous life, when Song Hejin and Fang came to the capital to find her for the first time, her aunt fell seriously ill after they returned.

After Song Baoshu confirmed that Song Baozhen had passed away, he was so sad and injured that he died within a few days.

In this life, Fang went back and told Song Baoshu about Su Xinqing's understanding and the difficulties she faced in the Earl's Mansion. Song Baoshu was only thinking about how to support his niece and wanted her body to recover quickly, so much so that his usual food intake doubled.

Coupled with the money that Su Xinqing secretly gave to Fang, Song Baoshu's health naturally recovered quickly.

Without even waiting for Song Hejin to take the imperial examination in spring, the whole family moved to the capital and opened a small teahouse near the Earl of Yong'an's mansion.

I can’t say I’m rich, but I can be self-sufficient.

With Su Xinqing's help from time to time, the two sons' education can be barely supported.

In the following time, Su Xinqing lived a relatively peaceful life. Neither the first lady nor the two teachers thought of her again.

Only occasionally would Siqin, who was by Su Xinya's side, come over and give her some of Su Xinya's discarded items.

Over the years, Su Xinqing's yard has become prosperous.

After all, even the items that Su Xinya eliminated were enough to make Su Xinwan and Su Xintao jealous beyond recognition.

You know, Li family put a lot of effort into Su Xinya. Some of the high-quality silk skirts were only worn once by Su Xinya and then given to Su Xinqing.

There were some items that Su Xinqing really couldn't wear, so she asked Banyue to send them directly to the pawnshop, earning several dozen taels of silver.

It can be said that for half a month, he sat in the yard whether he had something to do or not, looking towards the door.

The person who was most looking forward to Siqin's arrival was none other than Banyue.

"Miss, it's the eldest lady's coming-of-age ceremony. I heard that the eldest lady has invited many wealthy and powerful families in the capital, including the wives of the three dukes' mansions, to come. The fourth lady and the sixth lady are in the yard now. They have invited the shopkeepers of Caiyun Pavilion to the mansion. They want her to shine at the eldest lady's coming-of-age banquet in a month. After all, the sister of one of the two beauties in the capital can't be bad. What if some wife of a wealthy family takes a fancy to her and hires her as her main wife? Miss, do you think we should also prepare? Let me comb your bangs in front of you. You have such beautiful eyes, we won't cover them up. And the powder on your face is so dark, I really can't bear to rub it on your face again." Banyue was even more anxious as she watched her daughter getting closer to the age of coming-of-age.

Especially when he saw the other girls in the mansion dressed up beautifully every day, he became extremely anxious.

She had advised her daughter many times, but she always brushed it off.

When he went out just now, he once again heard the cheerful and tense atmosphere in other courtyards, but their Muxue Courtyard was still deserted as usual.

While I am anxious, I am also full of worries.

My daughter has lost her concubine since she was young. Although she still has an aunt and cousin, they cannot interfere in the important matter of marrying off their daughter in the Earl of Yong'an Mansion. The eldest lady and the old lady still need to approve for my daughter to have a good future.

However, seeing that the girl was not in a hurry and covered her pretty face, Banyue didn't dare to imagine whether her daughter would be randomly assigned to a family.

How can I not worry?

However, what Banyue didn’t know was that this was the best result Su Xinqing had ever wanted.

You have to know that the lower the status of the family, the easier it will be for her to get out of the other person's home.

"Banyue, you have to know that the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. If I, your daughter, was prettier than my eldest sister, or more prominent than the other sisters, would the eldest lady let your daughter off easily? Or do you want your daughter to pave the way for your eldest brother or eldest sister and become a stepping stone for the Su family?" Su Xinqing, who was embroidering with her head down, kept flipping the embroidery needle in her hand as she spoke.

Yes, after all these years, Su Xinqing discovered that embroidery can not only calm people down, but also make money and waste a lot of time.

Kill three birds with one stone, which is why Su Xinqing is so addicted to embroidery.
