Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

Chapter 43 Marrying into a Rich Family

Ever since the first lady, Madam Li, heard what Xi's mother said, she has been holding a grudge against her.

Although it was not shown at the time, Mother Xi, who had served Li for decades, knew from Li's subtle expression that the effect had taken effect.

She knew how much the Li family valued the eldest daughter.

It can be said that the Third House is using Li's reputation to save face for the Seventh Miss.

With Li's intention, Yuan naturally put more energy on Su Xinqing and Su Xintao.

When Wei saw the dowries of the three people, she went to the old lady and cried again.

Yuan had already thought of an excuse, so there was no other way, so the old lady took some property from her private treasury and gave it to Su Xinru to add to her dowry.

"Miss, why aren't you anxious? People outside say that our brother-in-law is very ruthless and has an unpredictable temperament. Almost half of the people in the imperial prison are related to our brother-in-law. Miss, do you think that if we enter the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion, will we go in upright and come out sideways? They say that people in the imperial prison are like that. When your aunt and her family heard that the Earl's Mansion has chosen such a marriage for you, they are also very anxious. I have seen that your aunt and her eyes are dark these two days. They said that they have already written to Young Master Song." You don't know until you ask. Once you ask, Banyue's legs go weak.

I was sitting in the teahouse at the time and almost didn't come back.

She was even more anxious. It would have been fine if only one or two people said so, but several servants in the mansion said so, which frightened her a little.

If he was an ordinary bastard, it would be fine, but what if such a cruel and ruthless person hurts my own delicate daughter? What should I do?

Su Xinqing also didn't expect that Yuan and Li would find such a husband's family for her.

This is not a marriage between the two families. They are trying to gain some benefits from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion at the cost of Su Xinqing's life.

On the sixth day of April, at the gate of the Earl of Yong'an's mansion.

"This is the mother's home of the Crown Prince's Consort Su. Why is it so lively today?"

"How can it not be lively? Today is the day when the two daughters of the Earl of Yong'an are getting married at the same time. Isn't it lively? Almost all the wealthy families in the capital, whether they are nearby or not, have come. Look, these small vendors have come before dawn."

"Two daughters are getting married at the same time? What a big deal! Didn't they say that the Earl of Yong'an only had one legitimate daughter? How come there are two more?"

"How can she be a legitimate daughter? She is Concubine Su's concubine sister, and many families in the capital are fighting for her. You have to know that Concubine Su was pregnant two months after she entered the family. It is said that she is pregnant with twins. Such a blessing, tut tut... who wouldn't want to have a share of it."

"Concubine Su is just a concubine. Is it necessary to make such a big fuss? The second daughter of Duke Jiang is the Crown Princess. She is the legitimate one, okay!" someone disagreed.

"Oh, what's the difference between the Crown Princess and the concubine in the Crown Prince's Mansion? Don't forget that the Crown Princess only gave birth to a daughter, but now Concubine Su is pregnant with two unborn grandchildren. When the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, it's hard to say who will be the legitimate heir!" The man said confidently, "Besides, the fact that the Crown Prince stayed in Concubine Su's yard after she became pregnant, doesn't that explain the problem? Do you know who the two concubines of the Su family are marrying into today?"

When the people around heard the man talking, they couldn't help but look over seriously.

"Please give me some advice, brother!"

"Yes, brother, you are well-informed. Please enlighten me."

The man raised his chin slightly and said proudly: "The third girl married to the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, and the sixth girl married to the eldest son of the Jingzhao prefect's family. It is said that there is another legitimate girl from the third room, and she has also been engaged. Do you know which one it is?"

Everyone shook their heads in surprise and confusion, their eyes fixed on the man in front of them.

The man coughed lightly, clenched his fist with one hand, and said in a pretentious manner: "If you ask, besides the Crown Prince's Mansion, which other duke's mansion has the greatest power?"

"Duke Zhang's Mansion?" There was no need to guess; it was something everyone knew.

"That's right. A legitimate daughter of the third branch of the Earl's Mansion married the legitimate second son of the second branch of the Zhang Guogong Mansion. Tell me, isn't it marrying up several levels? Or was it the people of the Zhang Guogong Mansion who came to the Su family to propose marriage first?"

Everyone's eyes widened.

"Girl, let's go in. If we don't go in now, it will be too late."

Su Xinwan sat in the carriage and didn't get out. Instead, she listened quietly to the discussions of people outside.

She didn't expect that after she got married, the rest of her sisters married so well.

Even Su Xinwan, who had never spoken much, had climbed up to a high position. So what was the point of her previous humbleness?

Su Xinwan's expression became more and more ugly. The little girl beside her reminded her and she dared not speak again.

After a long while, Su Xinwan adjusted her mood and asked, "Did the people sent out find out where the son-in-law is?"

"Miss, the servant just came back and said that the son-in-law is on his way back and will probably be half an hour late." The little girl answered cautiously.

A pair of clever eyes kept wandering around Su Xinwan's face.

"Hmph, let's go in. Leave someone outside and tell my son-in-law that the people from the Prince's Mansion have arrived." Su Xinwan ordered expressionlessly.

"Yes, young lady." After helping her master get off the carriage, the maid gave instructions to the servant outside the carriage.

Seeing Su Xinwan gradually walking away, he quickly followed.

The front yard of the Su Mansion is decorated like a poem and a picturesque scene, filled with a festive atmosphere.

The big red lanterns hung high up, like blooming flowers, illuminating every corner of the courtyard with red.

The tassels of the lanterns swayed gently in the wind. In the flower beds in the courtyard, various flowers were placed, blooming and vying for beauty.

The petals are covered with morning dew, making them look even more delicate and beautiful.

The maids, servants and old women were busy doing their own jobs. They were dressed in bright clothes and holding various dowries in their hands, which they carefully placed in designated places.

Su Xinqing's Muxue Courtyard is different from the bustling scene outside.

Fang and Song Hejing sat somewhat awkwardly in the living room, facing them were Yuan, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and Yuan Jingzhen, who was also wearing luxurious attire.

Su Xinqing could feel the awkward atmosphere in the living room even through the screen.

However, she was in a good mood indeed. Due to the relationship between Song and Jin, the dowry in the yard was very generous. Early in the morning, Banyue already knew the list of Su Xintao's dowry.

It was far less than what she had, and because she was marrying into the Marquis's Mansion, Su Xintao, plus the betrothal gifts, only had sixty-four loads of dowry.

She had eighty-eight pieces of luggage, and each one was made of genuine material. Even her wedding dress and head ornaments were bought by Yuan from the palace.

It can be considered as compensation from the other party to me. He married me to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion only because I can control him easily.

Banyue, who was following behind, also found out that the legitimate son of the Zhenbei Marquisate currently held no official position, was neither good at martial arts nor literature, and only had the title of a prince.

The son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, the descendant of all the half-brothers, that is, Chu Wei, the one she is going to marry, currently has the highest official position, the worst temper, and the worst reputation.

However, the emperor's trust in him made it difficult for the Crown Princess and the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei to control this illegitimate son.

He then set his sights on the other party's marriage, and then he and Yuan slapped their foreheads, and he became the unlucky one.

There is no other concubine's daughter in the whole capital who is as cowardly and easy to manipulate as herself!

It's just that the other party has taken control of my marriage, which would be fine, but he also wants to take control of my uncle and cousin's family. He is really making a wrong idea.
