Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

Chapter 47: The King of Hell

He didn't pay any attention to other people at all, and looked like he had seen a ghost, especially Shen Ruyan, whose eyes almost popped out of her head.

She thought that a concubine's daughter who had no aunt to teach her must be lacking in etiquette and morals, but she didn't expect it to be so bad. On the first day the bride came into the house, she came alone to offer tea to her mother-in-law and father-in-law.

She actually sat down before her mother-in-law and father-in-law arrived.

Chu Wei arrived late, with his follower Zhengyi behind him. The man's face was as cold as iron, as if a thousand years of frost had condensed on his face, without a trace of warmth.

His eyes were as deep as pools. Just one glance and Su Xinqing felt cold sweat on her back.

He took a look, lowered his head, looked again, and lowered his head again.

He was dressed in a black suit and had a belt around his waist that was embroidered with gold and inlaid with several sparkling gems.

However, Su Xinqing didn't care about these. The other party put one hand lightly on the sword at his waist, and his fingers kept groping for the scabbard, as if someone made him unhappy and he could take the other person's head at any time.

Su Xinqing suddenly stood up and chose to stand three feet away from the other person.

The women of the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion, who were originally talking, also shut their mouths and dared not even breathe.

However, Su Xinqing didn't have the time to care about others at this moment. She originally thought that she could just close her eyes and live one day at a time.

Now it seems that after a day, I probably can’t wait any longer, so it’s better to end it early.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long before the middle-aged Marquis Zhenbei and his wife came out.

The fierce aura surrounding Zhenbei Hou, his face has been carved into a picture of vicissitudes by time. The wrinkles are crisscrossed like ravines, depicting the ups and downs of his life.

He seemed to be unwell and walked slowly, with an old servant supporting him.

Although it is no longer as vigorous as it used to be, it is still as tall and straight as a pine tree, exuding an unyielding pride.

Madam Hou, although approaching middle age, is still stunningly charming. Her face is like porcelain gently touched by time, with fine lines on it, but it is not difficult to see her former beauty.

Her eyes were as bright as autumn water, revealing intelligence and depth, as if they could see through everything in the world.

Her every move revealed a calm and elegant temperament, just like a noble lady in the palace, with graceful manners.

When Su Xinqing saw the man next to her move slightly, she quickly bowed politely.

"Third Young Master, the Third Young Master's wife would like to offer you tea!" The old lady beside the Marquis's wife stepped forward respectfully and said.

"Yes!" No matter what the cold man next to her said, Su Xinqing knelt on the futon brought by the servant and took the tea brought by the servant.

The moment she got the tea bowl, Su Xinqing almost threw it away.

From the corner of her eye, she noticed that the man next to her had no intention of kneeling down, so Su Xinqing put the tea on the ground with a "pop".

Chu Wei raised his eyebrows, and his sharp gaze was like a knife, piercing towards Madam Gong who was beside Madam Yuan.

Nanny Gong lowered her head and took half a step back.

The Marquis's wife snorted softly, raised her eyelids and looked at the bride kneeling on the ground. She didn't care about the feelings of the concubine's son, and directly scolded Su Xinqing: "This is how you learned etiquette in the Earl of Yong'an's mansion. You put the tea for your parents-in-law on the ground like this?"

"My dear mother-in-law, I think this bowl of tea is not suitable for you to drink and it will scald you. This cup is boiling water!" Su Xinqing opened the tea bowl directly and hot steam rose immediately.

As if to prove its temperature, a wisp of steam was still coming out of the tea bowl long after it was opened.

Su Xinqing's straightforward and direct words and actions shocked everyone present.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, who wouldn't know what's going on?

Madam Yuan's face immediately turned cold, and she looked at Nanny Gong beside her with a gloomy gaze.

Madam Gong immediately understood what she meant and slapped the little maid who had just handed over the tea in the face: "Get out of here and accept your punishment!"

The little maidservant trembled, knelt down and begged for mercy, and was soon taken away by two old women.

Half a cup of tea passed, and two new cups of tea were brought up before Su Xinqing finally served the tea safely.

Before that, Chu Wei handed over the tea with an expressionless face. The Marquis of Zhenbei and his wife looked at the scalding hot water and were reluctant to take it. However, under Chu Wei's cold eyes, they took it, drank a sip, and quickly asked someone to take it away.

However, Chu Wei stood throughout the entire process and never kneeled down, and did not leave any words.

After seeing the two people drink the tea, he turned and left.

After watching Chu Wei leave, Marquis Zhenbei also had someone help him to the front yard to rest.

Finally, Su Xinqing was the only one left in the room facing the entire family of Zhenbei Hou.

However, no matter what others said, Su Xinqing just smiled and lowered her head, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Su Xinqing rarely answered everyone's questions directly. Only occasionally would she say, "I'm not sure..."

The questions that everyone had prepared hit the target one by one.

An incense stick of time passed, and apart from Su Xinqing's name, almost no answer was obtained.

Shen Ruyan looked at her mother-in-law's expression and cursed her cousin in her heart. What kind of person did she recommend? She only has a pretty face, but her brain is a mess.

"Mother-in-law, didn't you say that there were not enough people to serve my third brother in his yard? It just so happens that my third brother's wife has also moved into the mansion. My daughter-in-law sees that Xiangliu and Chunliu, who used to serve my third brother, are very good. They have served him for so many years and he likes them. So it would be better to just promote the concubine and have her serve him together with his wife. This way, his wife will have an easier time." Shen Ruyan didn't care about Su Xinqing's attitude at all, but kept checking the expression of Madam Yuan.

Sure enough, when she made the suggestion, the Marquis's wife's expression improved a lot.

"Okay, Madam Gong, please change their living quarters, so that the third child won't be unhappy when he goes there."

So, on the second day after her marriage, her husband had two concubines.

She didn't have a chance to speak the whole time. When she returned to her courtyard, Nanny Gong brought two newly promoted concubines to serve her tea.

As if she was worried that he would cause trouble, Nanny Gong watched from the side the whole process.

Unfortunately, the other party was disappointed. Su Xinqing was extremely happy to have two concubines serving the evil spirit together.

Xiangliu and Chunliu are a pair of sisters who look 70% similar.

She was arranged by Nanny Gong to live in a small courtyard next to the courtyard where she lived, and was not given any chance to express her opinions.

"Miss, Madam Xiang and Madam Chun live next door. So your brother-in-law won't come to your yard, right?" If there was one person who had the greatest influence on Chu Wei's heart, it would be Banyue.

In the morning in the main courtyard, Banyue almost buried her head in the ground. When Su Xinqing took her out of Wangzhu Courtyard, Banyue still could not accept the fierce and terrifying deterrent power of the "King of Hell".

But the little Qiuyue is much more stable.

Su Xinqing was somewhat impressed.
