Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

On the day of the palace banquet on August 15th.

Before daybreak, six horse-drawn carriages with the words "Su Mansion" written on them were parked in front of the gate of the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion.

Su Xinqing also brought Banyue and waited at the side door early.

I don’t know how long I stood there. I just felt like my legs and feet were not my own, and then I gradually saw the light.

The old lady was in the lead, followed by the eldest lady and Su Xinya, who walked slowly over.

Although Mrs. Wei was dissatisfied with Su Xinru, she smiled happily the moment she saw the old lady come out. She quickly walked over to take Mother Wang's place and supported the old lady.

His mouth was as sweet as honey, and he carefully asked the old lady how she slept last night and how much she ate for breakfast.

Seeing Wei's look, the old lady naturally had no reason to keep a sullen face.

After a few words, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began to become friendly.

When the others saw the old lady and the first lady coming, they all bowed.

Liu and Su Xinyu from the second house also stood aside obediently, with respectful expressions on their faces.

Standing behind Su Xinqing were Su Xinwan and Su Xinyan, who also saluted together.

The men of the Su family, led by Su Chengyi, were already waiting outside the door.

The old man was very old and had been recuperating in the suburbs of the city, so he took a leave and did not come back to attend the palace banquet.

In addition to the old uncle's descendants who lived in the mansion, members of the Su family also came early from other places and followed the Earl's carriage into the palace.

Among them was the family of the old uncle's younger brother. When Su Xinqing and the others were young, the old uncle retired from his position and decided to divide the family.

"Hello, sister-in-law. This is Yaer, she is getting more and more beautiful. No wonder..." Chen, the eldest daughter-in-law of the old uncle's younger brother, changed her resentful expression.

At this moment, Su Xinya's eyes were full of light. He wanted to say something but was pulled back by his daughter beside him.

She quickly introduced with a smile: "Ya'er, this is your sister Qiulu. Qiulu, you haven't met your aunt and elder sister yet, why don't you quickly pay your respects to them? When we get to the palace, I'll ask your elder sister to take good care of you."

"Qiulu, meet my aunt, meet my big sister!" The sweet and soft voice of the little girl was full of joy, and no one would be disgusted.

Even Li took off a bracelet with very good water content from her wrist and asked Xi's mother to pass it to her.

Su Xinya also paid her respects to the elders and exchanged a few words with Su Qiulu. Then, Xi's mother reminded her that it was getting late and she should get in the car quickly.

Su Xinqing followed at the end, quietly waiting for Xi's mother's arrangements.

What she never expected was that Su Xinqing was arranged to ride in Su Xinya's carriage.

"Big sister..." Su Xinqing called timidly.

Su Xinya was wearing a gorgeous brocade dress, with fluttering sleeves, like a fairy. The dress was embroidered with exquisite patterns, and the delicate patterns were outlined with gold and silver threads, shining with dazzling light.

Her hair was tied into a high bun and filled with precious jewellery, including earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc., each piece was priceless.

Her makeup is delicate and elegant, her eyebrows are like distant ink, her eyes are like autumn water, and her lips are red without any makeup, giving people a feeling of nobility and elegance.

Su Xinqing, who was so close, was directly impacted.

Knowing that Su Xinya was already very good-looking, after being carefully dressed up by Madam Li and Nanny Zhang, she became even more beautiful.

Just by being glanced at by Su Xinya, Su Xinqing felt that if she were a man, she would definitely fall for her.

"Big sister, can I ride in a carriage with you? Mother is annoyed by me, big sister, can you please let me get in too?" Su Qiulu's voice directly interrupted Su Xinqing's thoughts.

Su Xinqing could see that Su Xinya's brows were slightly frowned, as if the fairy was unhappy.

However, he was still gentle and generous, and said softly: "Sister Qiulu, if you want to come together, come up."

In fact, Su Xinya really wanted to refuse directly on the grounds that there was no room.

But as soon as Su Qiulu opened her mouth, Banyue beside Su Xinqing went down.

Even Si Shu and Si Hua, who were sitting next to Su Xinya, went downstairs.

So, in the end, there were only three girls, Su Xinya, Su Xinqing and Su Qiulu, and Nanny Zhang, left in Su Xinya's carriage.

Su Xinqing knew the status of Nanny Zhang in the mansion. Even Mama Xi, who was beside the eldest lady, didn't dare to say much about Nanny Zhang's affairs, let alone the other servants and illegitimate girls.

However, Su Qiulu didn't know all this, and asked in a bad tone: "The mother next to Big Sister is so arrogant, could she be Big Sister's wet nurse?"

Hearing Su Qiulu's words, Nanny Zhang's serious face became even colder and she looked over with a scrutinizing look.

He replied in a deep voice: "Young lady, please don't be offended. I was used to serving in the palace in my early years. The Madam ordered me to stay by your side today. If I have been disrespectful, I hope you will forgive me."

Although Su Qiulu was a little younger, as the only legitimate daughter of the Su family, Chen told her everything about the Earl's Mansion in detail.

As for Su Xinya, there was a Nanny Zhang who came from the palace. She had heard a little about her.

Both are daughters of the Su family. Su Xinya’s nanny came from the palace, but she was indeed bought from human traffickers.

The gap is very obvious, so it's not that she didn't envy Su Xinya, but she could only envy her. As for the Earl's Mansion where she lived when she was a child, she could never go back.

Now that I see Nanny Zhang in person, I am still frightened by her intimidation.

This is not just a nanny, she is even more majestic than her grandmother.

"Oh, hello, Aunt Zhang!" Su Qiulu lowered her head and greeted in a low voice.

In a few breaths, the domineering voice and momentum just now disappeared.

Nanny Zhang nodded, looked Su Qiulu up and down again, and said calmly: "Young lady, please sit down quickly, the carriage will leave soon."

With Nanny Zhang around along the way, Su Qiulu tried to strike up a conversation with Su Xinya many times, but was persuaded to give up every time.

Listening to the sound of wheels outside, he finally looked at Su Xinqing who had been lowering her head, and said like a curious baby: "You must be the third sister of my great uncle's family. I heard that you have been learning to read and write with your elder sister since you were young, and learning the rules. May I ask, sister, which of poetry, songs, chess, calligraphy and painting are you best at? What are you going to perform for the nobles in the palace today? Can you tell me why you haven't spoken since I got on the carriage? Don't you like me to be with you?"

Su Xinqing knew she couldn't catch up on sleep in the carriage half a month after going down, but she didn't expect it to be so noisy.

"My...sister..."

"Please forgive me, sister Qiulu. I have never been talkative since I was a child." Su Xinya frowned even deeper and took the initiative to help Su Xinqing out of trouble. After she finished speaking, she said directly to Aunt Zhang beside her: "Madam, I will take a rest for a while. I hope you can let me know in advance."

"Yes, young lady." Nanny Zhang said coldly, although it was a response to Su Xinya's words.

But his eyes were always on Su Qiulu. No matter how thick-skinned she was, Su Qiulu knew that the master and servant did not want her to speak.

Seeing that her elder sister had closed her eyes and was about to take a nap, she tactfully closed her mouth.

However, when he saw Su Xinya’s elegant attire and her rosy face, he was stunned.
