Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

"Girl, girl..." As soon as I lay down on the bed, I heard an urgent voice rushing in.

If it’s not Half Moon, then who else could it be?

"Qiuyue, you go down first. Let Banyue keep watch at night. You should go back and rest early."

After putting away her daughter's last coat, Qiuyue bowed to Su Xinqing and left.

Now, there is only a gatekeeper, two maids who do the cleaning, and Qiuyue and Banyue left in Su Xinqing's yard.

It can be said that as soon as night fell, the other three disappeared, leaving only Qiuyue and Banyue busy.

"Girl, look." Banyue closed the door and lowered Su Xinqing's curtain. Looking at the flickering light outside the bedroom, he carefully took out the silver bills hidden on his body.

His eyes were full of excitement and vigilance, and he was afraid of any disturbance, so he quickly put the banknotes away and hid them.

It would be a lie to say that Su Xinqing wasn't excited when she saw so many banknotes. She worked so hard in her previous life, but she never had more than 10,000 taels of silver on hand.

When I was thinking about it yesterday, I wasn't shocked by the real scenes yet. Now they are in front of me. I want to blind Su Xinqing's eyes and give her a shock at the same time.

"I hope nothing unexpected happened when we went to exchange the money today?" Su Xinqing didn't believe that the gambling house would give such a large sum of money readily.

Banyue's pure and bright eyes suddenly became brighter: "Miss, you don't know, I and Manager Chen took people to Wangyouxuan first. I felt that I had arrived very early. I didn't know that someone was waiting inside. It was scary. More than a dozen Jinyiwei people stood in the building. Not to mention the guests, even the waiters didn't dare to step forward. It was Manager Wu of Wangyouxuan who came out to help them exchange the money. But, miss, they actually won the bet. I secretly glanced at it, it seemed like a lot of money. However, I didn't ask, took our money, and left. During the whole process, the servants and thugs of Wangyouxuan didn't come out at all." As if she was worried about Su Xinqing and didn't believe it, Banyue hurriedly talked about Panlongfang, and she met the same group of people she saw for the first time.

The whole process went quite smoothly. As for why they came back so late, it was entirely because someone from the Jinyiwei discovered them.

After the two largest gambling houses in Beijing were closed, Banyue and Manager Chen took their people for a walk around Ping'an Street.

According to the original plan, they found the largest restaurant, had a good meal and finally got rid of the Jinyiwei.

In the afternoon, he went to various small gambling houses. Banyue changed his clothes and became much more low-key. He only sneaked into the mansion after nightfall.

"Someone from the Imperial Guard?" Su Xinqing was a little confused. There was only a glimpse of a figure from three years ago in her mind. However, after thinking about it carefully, she felt that the possibility was not high.

She threw the thought away and when she saw the banknote in her hand, she forgot about it.

However, what Su Xinqing didn't know was that the news that the Prince's Mansion and the Embroidered Uniform Guard had won hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in a gambling house in the capital had already spread widely.

In restaurants and teahouses in the market.

"Is it true that the prince actually bet on his own marriage, and the stakes are huge?"

"Is this true? I just came out of Panlongfang and the guy inside said it himself."

"How do they know that they are from the Crown Prince's Mansion? Could they have made a mistake?"

"How could I have made a mistake? The servant took away their clothes. And after they left, the gambling house also sent people to follow them. After they arrived at Ping'an Street, they disappeared. There is the prince's courtyard on Ping'an Street. Every rich family should know about it. Besides, you people from Panlongfang are just eating for free." The middle-aged man said with disdain, his face full of the expression "you are stupid and you still think others are useless."

Seeing the man's appearance, everyone thought of the owner behind Panlongfang and nodded.

The backyard of Duke Jiang’s Mansion.

"Mom, have you found out? Apart from the Jinyiwei people who bet on my marriage with the prince, is the other party really the prince? The prince is too much. He knew the intentions of the queen and the emperor, but he didn't tell our family. I lost several thousand taels of silver. It's really shameless." If the prince is the most important thing for Jiang Xinyan now, the second is money.

Although at the beginning, I just wanted to save face, but who wouldn't want to earn the money when it's readily available?

Mrs. Song saw her little daughter's angry look and said with a look of disappointment: "I told you a long time ago that you should not care about what's going on outside, but you wouldn't listen. Forget it, it's just a few thousand taels of silver. If you lose, you lose. I'll make it up to you later. Okay, I'm not angry anymore. Your marriage to the prince doesn't have much time left. You should stay at home now and don't run around. If something goes wrong, it will be a loss for the royal family. Even with your sister's affection, the emperor and the queen will not like you. Don't forget, there is also Su Xinya. Your current task is to take good care of your body. Get pregnant before Su Xinya comes into the family and give birth to a legitimate son. This way, your position will be stable. You must take good care of your body recently and don't be like your sister..."

When it comes to Jiang Xinrou, no matter how much Jiang Xinyan refutes and refuses to listen to advice, she can't say anything.

She also didn't want to be like her sister, who was in poor health to begin with and whose health got even worse after giving birth to Wu'er.

As a result, Wu'er died young, and his sister was heartbroken and followed him.

The news that there were two groups of people in the entire capital city who won hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the two major gambling houses in the capital city undoubtedly reached the ears of the Queen and the Emperor.

At first the Queen listened but did not take it to heart. However, ten days later, when Emperor Jingxuan had not set foot in her palace, the Queen realized something was wrong.

The Prince's Mansion paid 300,000 taels of silver and handed it over to the national treasury, and the matter was finally over.

As for the silver won by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, it was naturally turned over to the national treasury. The emperor only kept a few hundred taels for eating and drinking, so he naturally didn't take it to heart.

Su Xinqing, who was busy in the backyard of the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion, naturally didn't know that someone had already paid the money for her.

After a few months, Su Xinwan got married and returned to her parents' home.

All of these sisters needed to meet people, and then Su Xinyu and Su Xinhan from the second house were getting married.

When Su Chengyi got married, Li's eldest daughter-in-law was Yuan Lezhen, the daughter of Yuan Daxueshi, who was chosen at the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet. She was one year younger than Su Xinya, but she was steady, well-educated and well-mannered. Li liked her very much, and within less than a month of entering the house, she was given the right to manage the Yuan family.

After all, she was the daughter-in-law that she had chosen, so how could Li be dissatisfied? Moreover, her elder brother had also successfully entered the Hanlin Academy, although his position was not high.

But what can he do? His immediate boss is his father-in-law.

Even if you don't give face to the monk, you have to give face to the Buddha. How could Li, who was in the backyard, make things difficult for Yuan over such a small matter?

After becoming Yuan's housekeeper, the one who felt it most was Su Xinqing, because not only had the quality of the food improved, but even the clothes for all seasons were also neatly arranged.
