Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

Chapter 25 Su Xinqing's Choice

"Prince, Duke Jiang, and Minister He, I am also wrong. After entering the city, I should have refused the prince's escort. Although we encountered bandits outside the city, it was the prince who saved me and my disappointing granddaughter. I apologize to you two adults here. I also hope that you two ladies, considering my old age, will not pursue the matter. The older people get, the more afraid they are of life and death. It's all my fault and has nothing to do with the prince." The old lady was supported by the maid beside her. She walked to Su Chong's side, bent down, and took all the blame on herself.

Su Xinqing was standing behind the crowd, and when she heard the old lady's words, she couldn't help but admire her.

In front of so many juniors, he was able to swallow his pride and retreat in order to advance.

It can be said that with the old lady around, Su Xinqing's reputation cannot be tarnished.

The old lady's words made Duke Jiang and Minister He at a loss as to how to respond.

Because this was not a big deal, and the one who had the dispute with his daughter was the prince from beginning to end. It could be said that there was no problem between him and Su Chong's eldest daughter.

Moreover, it was her own daughter who found the Su family's door and made trouble, which explained why the prince accompanied them and why she let the prince follow them because she was frightened.

It established a good image for the prince as a man who loves his people like his own children.

As long as they dared to say "no", it would probably be like a thorn in the prince's heart.

"No, no, what are you talking about, old lady? The prince loves his people like his own children, and he is a role model for us to learn from. It's all because of my ignorance. For what happened today, I, the Duke Jiang's Mansion, will come to apologize another day."

"Prince, old lady, brother Su, my daughter was rude today. I hope the eldest lady of the Su family will forgive me. I will ask my wife to bring my daughter to your house to apologize one day." Minister He swept his sharp and narrow eyes over everyone in the Su family and saw the famous eldest lady of the Su family at a glance.

I couldn't help but be secretly shocked. No wonder the prince would take it to heart.

"Madam, you are too modest. Even if I hadn't met you, it would be natural for me to see thieves and bandits. Goodbye!" He looked at the people present with a serious look, especially when he saw Jiang Xinyan and He Maner, his eyes became even deeper.

It's like swallowing no food at all.

The moment Jiang Xinyan was seen by Helian Yan, her whole body felt like she had fallen into an ice cave. She became more honest and hid behind her father.

Half an hour later, the crowd outside the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion completely dispersed.

Before dinner time, almost everyone in the backyards of each family knew that the prince had escorted Miss Su back to the city.

As for the existence of the old lady of the Su family, it was deliberately erased.

When Li learned about the rumors outside, the porcelain was broken into pieces on the floor.

The Earl's Mansion of Yong'an had to bear this loss even if they didn't want to, because they couldn't explain it to each family one by one.

He could only ask the servants to take the money and go outside to explain, but it had little effect. After all, most people are curious.

The prince, whom he had only met once, fell in love with Su Xinya, the eldest daughter of the Earl of Yong'an. One was the prince, and the other was one of the two most beautiful girls in the capital.

She is already in her twenties and still hasn't gotten engaged, which is a first in the capital.

It turned out that they were indeed waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This topic was no more convincing than the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saved the old lady in the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion.

"You are useless too. How could you spread such rumors? How can our Yaer get married? Which good family would be willing to marry Yaer? What's more, the prince can't even pass the test of the queen. Humph!" The old lady sat on the upper seat, her face full of anger.

It turned out that she was extremely satisfied with her daughter-in-law, and even her own niece had to stand back.

Now, the bright future was ruined overnight. If her niece had not come to tell her, she would still be kept in the dark by her eldest daughter-in-law.

How could this not make her angry.

With a "pop" sound, the hot water in the tea bowl shattered.

Although Li was not hit, some of the hot water inside splashed onto the hem of her clothes.

Li's face darkened, and she said in a cold voice, "Mother-in-law, don't worry. It's my Ya'er's, and she won't get away. Moreover, who else can bring us closer to the Yong'an Earl's Mansion if it's not our Ya'er? Su Xinyu from the second house, or Su Xinru from my third brother's wife? In terms of looks and talent, which one can come up with a good one?"

"You, Li, don't go too far. How can you say that about your own niece? No matter how bad our Xinru is, she didn't succeed in hooking up with the prince. Instead, she got herself into trouble. The reputation of all the women in the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion will be affected by your Su Xinya!" Hearing someone talking about her daughter, Wei could no longer hold back. She lifted the curtain and walked out angrily from the old lady's inner room.

"Third Aunt, be careful with your words. You can't write two characters for the word Su with one stroke. By saying this, do you mean that my reputation is completely ruined and I'll never be able to make a comeback?" Su Xinya stood still in the hall. Her demeanor and unparalleled beauty were enough to make everything in the world pale in comparison.

When Wei saw Su Xinya like this, she shut up silently. She had the attitude of a winner just now, questioning Li.

At this moment, she had to admit that Su Xinya's excellence was incomparable to that of Ru'er.

"Ya'er, I'm glad you're here. Don't listen to your third aunt's nonsense. She is a very straightforward person. She listens to whatever the servants say. Come here, let grandma take a look. Oh, why is your face so thin? Aunt Zhang, didn't Ya'er get enough rest these two days? What did you eat for lunch? Are you not used to the food at home?" The old lady held Su Xinya's white and tender little hand and questioned her carefully, like an elder who cares about the younger generation.

"In reply to the old lady, the eldest lady has not eaten much since last night. She has been thinking about the master, the old lady, and the younger brothers and sisters in the mansion." When Nanny Zhang heard the old lady's questions, she was naturally familiar with the questions between the women in the mansion.

Of course I will pick the one the old lady likes, and by the way I can also establish a good image for my master.

Li felt much more relieved when she heard Nanny Zhang and the old lady talking about their daughter.

He snorted lightly, not even bothering to look at Wei who was standing next to him.

In the Muxue Courtyard, Banyue saw that the old women and maids around her had all left.

He walked naturally to Su Xinqing's side and told his girl all the rumors about their Earl's Mansion.

He got so excited that he actually danced.

"Girl, you don't know, in your uncle's teahouse, those people talked as if they were there at the time. It's so embarrassing. Xiao Shanzi is so good at making up stories. Girl, you might as well not let Xiao Shanzi stay in Jinxiufang and tell stories in the teahouse. Who knows, your uncle's teahouse business might do a lot better this way." Banyue's mouth was grinning to the back of her ears.

Seeing her look, Su Xinqing did not stop her. Compared with Banyue and Su's family, she would of course choose Banyue.
