Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

"I will compensate you on behalf of mother. Fourth sister's coming-of-age ceremony is just around the corner, and you, as the elder sister, haven't had it yet. It's all mother's fault," Su Xinya said apologetically.

"No, big sister. Mother is in charge of the household chores and is very busy. It's normal that she can't take care of you. Besides, fourth sister's wedding is just around the corner. Mother brought forward her coming-of-age ceremony because of the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion. Sister, I really don't dare to accept your things." Su Xinqing stood up in a hurry. Because of her big movements, the cups on the table beside her shook a few times.

However, it did not affect Su Xinqing's salute.

She kept her head down and didn't see the look of disgust in Nanny Zhang's eyes.

"Okay, sister, please get up quickly. We are sisters, so there is no need for you to bow to me like this. Librarian, please bring the fun things we have seen outside in the past two years to our third sister," Su Xinya seemed to have not heard what Su Xinqing meant at all.

Another small box was brought over. After Su Xinqing took a look at it, she had it carried to Muxueyuan along with the clothes and headdresses.

"Big sister..." Although she knew she couldn't refuse, Su Xinqing still needed to refuse.

Otherwise, how could she justify her status as a concubine's daughter?

"It's okay. Your aunt died young. As your elder sister, I have to take good care of you." The words were as mellow as pearls and fell into Su Xinqing's ears.

After a while, a pleasant voice continued, "Third sister, there will be a palace banquet in half a month. You will go with me then. I have already consulted mother and grandmother. You should review the etiquette and rules of the palace in the courtyard in the next few days. If you forget anything, you can come and ask Aunt Zhang for advice in the next few days. Don't be nervous, just stay by my side. I will take care of everything. Got it!"

I heard Su Xinya asked me to accompany her into the palace and attend the palace banquet.

Su Xinqing was still surprised. She looked at Su Xinya, who was smiling gently, with dull and inquiring eyes. The appearance of a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world made her smile even sweeter because of Su Xinqing's gaze, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Not to mention ordinary men, even a woman like Su Xinqing couldn't help but covet such a woman.

While Su Xinqing was stunned for a moment, she saw Su Xinya smiled and said, "My sister didn't say anything, so she agreed."

Su Xinqing: "..."

After Su Xinqing took Banyue out, Nanny Zhang handed her a handkerchief.

Su Xinya wiped it twice, then threw it directly into Si Hua's arms and said indifferently: "Burn it."

"Yes."

After the two maids left, Aunt Zhang walked over to Su Xinya and asked in confusion, "Miss, why did you bring the third young lady with you? The third young lady must be unfamiliar with the palace etiquette. Even if she is asked to study hard now, it is estimated that she may not be able to learn well in just half a month. And the third young lady is afraid to go out... This..."

Aunt Zhang was already being very polite, but Su Xinqing was more than just unfamiliar.

When Nanny Zhang taught her for several months, Su Xinqing only learned the basics.

Su Xinqing was ugly, and she didn't have the temperament of a lady from a noble family. She was timid wherever she went and didn't dare to look up.

Even when talking to her eldest sister, she was hesitant. It can be said that in every aspect, Su Xinqing is not a candidate who can be taken out.

No wonder the Countess of Yong'an rarely lets her go out. If a girl like this is brought out, the reputation of all the girls in the Su Mansion will be affected by Su Xinqing.

"It's okay. She doesn't need to do anything. Madam Zhang, just keep an eye on her." The elegant smile on Su Xinya's face disappeared. Her eyes were cold and deep, like thousand-year-old ice, revealing an unspeakable majesty and alienation.

Upon seeing this, Nanny Zhang stopped trying to persuade her. After all, the girl in front of her was no longer the little girl she had seen when she first entered the mansion.

The young lady from the Earl's Mansion in front of her had spent only two or three years to master what she and Master Qian had learned.

What remains is that the aristocratic family begins to pave the way for the eldest girl, leading her to the highest position.

On the other side, Su Xinqing returned to her yard and looked at the jewelry and hair accessories displayed in the house, as well as a whole box full of the little girl's favorite toys.

Judging from the traces above, it can be seen that it is quite old.

Wood-carved figurines, masks of the fairy Chang'e, jade pendants, calligraphy and paintings, etc.

There were some things in the inner room. Su Xinqing seemed to have seen them when she was a child. She smiled without saying anything and asked the maid to take them away.

"Girl, do you want to try the clothes the eldest girl gave you?" Banyue looked at the clothes on the couch and couldn't help frowning.

She really couldn't understand it. If the elder girl loved her daughter, she would give her a lot of things every time. However, there were not many things that the daughter could really use.

"No need, just leave it there and deal with it as usual, and it will be fine." After saying that, Su Xinqing sat down in front of the embroidery frame again and continued to embroider the unfinished embroidery.

"Yes," Banyue packed the clothes quickly and put the headdress into her daughter's makeup box.

In less than a day, the news that Su Xinya had sent another box of items to Su Xinqing spread like wildfire in the Su family's backyard.

"Third sister, you didn't mean to deceive me and my seventh sister because we are young? How could the eldest sister give you such useless things? Third sister, you didn't know that my seventh sister and I were coming and put them away on purpose?" Su Xintao's round little face was full of contempt.

The group just stood in Su Xinqing's yard, as if there was something dirty in the house where she lived.

He was curious about what Su Xinya gave Su Xinqing, but he didn't want to go into the house to look for it. After hesitating for a while, he chose to stand as close to the door as possible.

"Seventh Miss, Sixth Miss, Eighth Miss, these are really all we have. Our girls treasure these items and have not taken any of them out. They are all here..." Banyue was furious when she saw that they were the ones coming over again, but she still explained for Su Xinqing in a crying voice.

"Snapped!"

"Ah..." A slap mark instantly flashed across Banyue's little face.

"I'm talking to my third sister, how can it be your turn...ah..." Before she finished scolding for half a month, Su Xintao glared at the person who had been silent the whole time: "You..."

"Sixth sister, you brought people to my yard to ask for the things that my eldest sister gave me. That would be fine, but you also hurt my maid. I will go tell my eldest sister now. Banyue, let's go..." Su Xinqing grabbed Banyue, who was still in a daze, and walked towards the gate of the yard.

The maids brought by Su Xintao, Su Xinru and Su Xinyan blocked their way.

Su Xinqing turned around and looked at the three people aggressively, but her momentum soon faded and she looked away to other places in the yard.

"Third sister, Sixth sister was just joking with you. It was just a joke between sisters. Why bother big sister? Besides, big sister is very busy now. She is either choosing headgear or learning the palace rules with Nanny Zhang. Third sister, didn't you say you were going to the palace too? Why didn't you learn etiquette with big sister this time?" Over the past two years, Su Xinru has learned Wei's tone of voice and demeanor perfectly.

Even when Wei was speaking, her petty and arrogant attitude was well controlled.
