Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

When Su Xinyan heard Li's question, she was about to smile brightly, but when she met Li's gaze, she quickly restrained her smile.

This morning, she heard from her aunt that the old lady, the first lady, and her father in the mansion were in a bad mood recently, and asked her to be careful.

With a solemn expression, she kowtowed to Li again: "Stepmother, Xinyan is willing to share the worries for big sister. When my daughter was very young, big sister punished the evil slaves for my daughter and aunt. Otherwise, my daughter would still be bullied by the evil slaves. The evil slaves took advantage of the fact that the eldest lady was busy and often did things that deceived the superiors and the subordinates. Thanks to big sister, my daughter can grow up healthily. Xinyan and aunt are very grateful to big sister, but big sister became busy later, and my daughter did not want to disturb big sister, so...stepmother, rest assured, Xinyan will follow big sister's lead until death!"

Su Xinyan spoke seriously. Li looked at this concubine's daughter and finally nodded with satisfaction.

He rubbed his temple and waved his hand to let the three people retreat.

Seeing that Li had a severe headache, Xi's mother suggested, "Madam, you didn't get enough rest last night. You woke up before dawn today. I will serve you now. Take a rest."

Li waved her hands again, forced herself to cheer up, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Mother Xi, I am not in tune now. Is it good or bad for Xinya to marry into the Prince's Mansion? Back then, Xinya should have been married to Duke Zhang's Mansion. The old lady of the Zhang family liked our Xinya very much. At least she would have been the principal wife if she married there, not just a concubine like now! Alas..."

When Mother Xi heard her own wife say this, she knew what her master was thinking.

But she didn't dare to respond. Besides, the matter was already done, so what was the point?

"Madam, please don't say that. I saw it clearly yesterday. During the palace banquet, the prince's eyes were always following our eldest daughter. Even though she is only a concubine, the prince's heart is with our daughter. Besides, she is a concubine in the East Palace. Who can predict what will happen in the future? Isn't our emperor the son of the imperial concubine?" Seeing that there were only the master and servant in the room, Mother Xi spoke more directly.

After she finished speaking, she saw a rare smile on Li's face: "Yes, the concubine of the Eastern Palace is no different from the concubines of other princes."

Seeing that her master was in a much better mood, Mother Xi added: "The second daughter of the Jiang family is innocent at first glance, just like the former Crown Princess. You know how smart and wise our eldest daughter is, Madam. What's more, there is Madam Zhang here. If I were to say, you will have a lot of good fortune in the future."

After Xi's mother's series of punches, Li's nervous and angry mood disappeared immediately.

Even at lunch, Li would eat half an extra bowl of rice.

Su Xinqing returned safely to Muxueyuan. After drinking a pot of tea, her mood completely calmed down.

Sitting in front of the dressing table again, looking at her ugly and speechless self in the mirror, Su Xinqing felt completely relieved.

She pretended to be stupid and looked ordinary. She looked silly and stupid. Even if she was a concubine, she would be despised. It seemed that all her acting over the years was not in vain.

Otherwise, he would have been on Su Xinya’s wedding gift list.

From a concubine of an official family, she was directly transformed into a concubine with slave status. Su Xinya really "took care" of her. She really has to thank her whole family.

Fortunately, three people competed for the job and I was eliminated.

Even if the prince ascends the throne, what good will it do? He will still die of old age in a corner of the palace.

With Su Xinya by my side, I must be going crazy in the cold palace.

Just thinking about it made her break out in cold sweats.

"Qiuyue, go to the kitchen and get some hot water. I'll get started. Have someone put my embroidery frame in place. I'll finish the missing piece of "Phoenix Embroidering Peony" later. When the time comes, give it to my elder sister as a wedding gift." After a brief pause, Su Xinqing gave instructions to the maid behind her.

"Yes, Third Miss." Looking at the little girl's back, she was petite and delicate.

However, she is very efficient in doing things, doesn't talk much, and doesn't look very outstanding. She is just an ordinary girl.

Yes, in recent years, the housekeeper in the mansion bought it from outside the mansion.

Her courtyard was so remote that, except for Sang Rou and the others who were arranged by Xi's mother, the rest of the maids and old women, and some housewives with more connections and ideas, found ways to leave early.

The rest are either unable to leave, or are just lazy all day long, have no ambitions and only focus on the present.

Finally, the only ones left were maids like Qiuyue, who had just entered the Earl's Mansion and were bought from outside. As long as they were given food to eat, they would have endless energy and would do anyone's work without any complaints.

In Su Xinqing's opinion, either this kind of person has other intentions, or he is really honest and loyal.

At present, Su Xinqing didn’t see any problems. After all, no important tasks were assigned to her, so she just made do with it.

Qiuyue came in again, holding a copper basin in her hand. She put it on the wooden rack and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Su Xinqing saw the other person's look and didn't ask.

Finally, when Su Xinqing took the handkerchief from the other party and wiped her hands, Qiuyue knelt down and said sincerely: "Third Miss..."

"Your servant Mu Rui greets the young lady."

"Your servant Birou greets the young lady."

When Qiuyue saw that it was two people coming in, her small eyes widened and a rare look of anger appeared on her serious face.

But before Qiuyue could speak, the two of them knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said sadly: "Please forgive me, Third Miss. Just now, Madam Deng from the mansion came to our courtyard and said that the Eighth Miss would soon follow the eldest lady to the Prince's Mansion. The Eighth Miss's courtyard did not have enough maids, so Sister Birou and I went together. I didn't have much to do in Muxue Courtyard, and it was Madam Deng's idea, so I agreed without permission. I hope Third Miss will forgive me."

Birou also looked embarrassed. Although she was kneeling on the ground, her back was straighter than her master.

"I hope the Third Miss will forgive me!" He seemed disdainful to say a few more words.

Su Xinqing sat on a round stool and didn't say much, just looked at the two of them coldly.

Finally he nodded, signaling that the two could leave.

Seeing Su Xinqing nod, the two of them had no reason to stay any longer and quickly stood up.

With a smile on his lips, he looked at Qiuyue who was still kneeling on the ground, with an indescribable irony on his face.

Although they were wearing plain clothes, they were still beautiful. Their steps were light and graceful.

Su Xinqing couldn't help but laugh. She had been staying in her own yard for too long and her head was getting rusty.

Sure enough, sometimes, to deal with some people, you don’t need to do it yourself, you just need to send them to the right place.

I thought I had some good looks, and when I arrived at the Prince's Mansion where beauties were everywhere, it would be fine if I had the ability to protect myself. But if I didn't, I would be a human target and would not survive more than three episodes.

After seeing the two leave, Su Xinqing asked Qiuyue to get up and help her put away her embroidery frame.

Some people wanted to go and get killed, but she was happy to have some free time. After two people left, her yard became even quieter.

Anyway, there was no work to be done when the four of them were together, so the four people that Xi's mother sent over all left.
