Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

At the same time, in the front yard of Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Su Chong looked at the man in a superior position. The aura of a superior could not be concealed no matter what clothes he wore.

The eldest son of the Jingzhao prefecture's family, who was standing behind Su Chong, never thought that he would meet the prince today.

Although he knew that his wife's eldest sister was the prince's concubine.

However, he absolutely dared not meet the prince and address him as a relative.

The king is the king and the subjects are the subjects, not to mention that he is now in white clothes.

He didn't dare to speak casually, but just listened respectfully to the conversation between his father-in-law and the prince.

"Didn't they say Chu Wei would come? Why hasn't he come yet?" Helian Yan frowned, speaking with a slightly questioning and angry tone, which immediately made Su Chong alert.

"This..." Su Chong immediately understood what he meant and hesitated to speak.

This question is really difficult to answer. After Chu Wei left, he asked someone to go to the backyard to ask what happened.

Instead of receiving an answer, he was told that the Crown Prince and Concubine Su had returned.

"What? Didn't he come?" Helian Yan frowned even deeper and glanced at the guards beside him.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lord Chu is here, but he just left in a hurry. I have asked the servants to inquire what happened. Please wait a moment." Hearing Helian Yan's impatient tone, Su Chong explained truthfully.

The guards behind Helian Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. The news was wrong, causing the Crown Prince and Concubine Su to make a wasted trip while she was pregnant.

He wouldn't dare to take responsibility for such an accident. After more than ten years of planning and working hard to get to this position, Xing Kai would not allow such a mistake to happen.

Just hearing that Chu Wei had left, Xing Kai couldn't help but look at Concubine Su's father in front of him.

What a fool! The person has already arrived, but you let him go so easily.

Thinking of the prince and the subsequent plan, Xing Kai almost stared a hole in Su Chong's body.

As the atmosphere in the house became tense, the housekeeper looked anxiously towards the gate of the yard, and saw a servant hurriedly walking in on tiptoe from outside the door.

"Master, Xiao Wuzi is back!" The old butler pulled Xiao Wuzi, who was still confused, and signaled him to kneel down and pay his respects to the distinguished guest.

Su Chong seemed to have heard some great news. His tense features immediately softened. "Xiao Wuzi, what happened in the backyard?"

"Reporting to the prince, reporting to the master," Xiao Wuzi is the housekeeper's grandson. Because he is usually quite smart, he has always been serving by the master's side.

Just now when he arrived in the backyard and heard what the eldest lady's sister said, Xiao Wuzi looked up at his grandfather beside him again.

The old butler, noticing the gaze of his grandson, frowned fiercely and looked up.

Didn’t you see the expression on the noble’s face? His silent lips told his grandson to speak quickly, or he would suffer.

He can't even handle such a small thing. He must have been spoiled by his wife.

Little Wuzi, who was kneeling on the ground, saw that his grandfather's face was getting worse and worse, so he knelt down quickly and said tremblingly: "When I went over, the third girl had already left. I heard from the sister next to the eldest lady that the third girl said something that angered the eldest lady, so the eldest lady drove her away."

After they finished speaking, Xiao Wuzi did not hear the master and the prince stand up, so he could only crawl on the ground and could not see the expressions of the nobles.

So, although he was nervous, he was not very worried. However, the old butler did see clearly that the prince, who originally had a gentle smile on his face, suddenly turned cold.

Including his own master, his gentle face turned cold as ice, and the look he gave his little grandson was full of scrutiny.

The old housekeeper knelt down quickly and tried to comfort his grandson: "Prince, Master, when I was at the door just now, I saw that the third young lady had bad intentions. When she arrived at our house, she saw that the first lady and the eldest young lady were not waiting for them at the door. She wanted to go back directly, but I persuaded her to stop. I sent someone to the backyard to inform the first lady and the eldest young lady, and then she calmed down. Master, the third young lady is now married to the Marquis's mansion. It's normal for her to have a temper. But when she came to our house, she is a concubine's daughter. How can she be treated the same as the eldest young lady? Wouldn't that show that there is no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children in our house?"

Sure enough, after hearing the old housekeeper's words, Su Chong's attention was overshadowed by his third daughter's rudeness.

As for Xiao Wuzi who was kneeling on the ground, the old housekeeper had already chased him out with a flick of his sleeves when Su Chong looked over.

The prince was skeptical about the explanation given by the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion.

But it was a fact that Chu Wei had indeed left when he came over.

Even when he brought Su Xinya back home, they basically didn't return until after lunch, but Chu Wei left after just a few words.

It can be said that not a single face was given to the Earl's Mansion of Yong'an, nor was any face given to himself.

He couldn't help but snorted coldly: "It seems that Lord Chu is so busy that he doesn't even have time to see this prince!"

If Su Xinqing knew about this, she would definitely scold us: "Ghosts, we knew you were coming back, but we didn't inform you in advance. Do you think we are the worms in your stomach? Damn it!"

At this time, at the entrance of a two-story house in Fu'an Lane.

There was a horse-drawn carriage parked there that looked out of place.

Many passers-by stopped to look over, and many neighbors also gathered around to watch out of curiosity.

They knew that this member of the Song family was just a group of farmers who had recently moved to the capital and ran a small teahouse.

The business can’t be said to be very good, but it’s not bad either. The money I earn is just hard-earned money.

The eldest son and the youngest son just came back recently. They knew that the youngest son, Song Hehui, was not good at literature and had to go to the military camp for training.

I heard that he also paid money to get in, but I never expected that the eldest son of the Song family was so capable. He was a scholar and had passed the imperial examination. He had just returned from working as an official in another place.

He was a handsome man and was the top scholar in the imperial examination that year. Now, those who had looked down on the Song family as a merchant family were secretly regretting their decision.

This is actually the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion.

"My God, could it be that the people from the Marquis' Mansion have also taken a fancy to the eldest son of the Song family?"

"What are you talking about? I just heard the person calling Mrs. Song and Auntie. They are just visiting relatives. Didn't you see the man from the Royal Guards? That's her husband. You people just believe everything you hear. Don't ruin the reputation of the number one scholar, Song."

"Haha, Shopkeeper Zhou, why are you so nervous? I'm just guessing that no matter how nervous you are, the Song family won't be interested in your daughter. Have you forgotten that when the Song family first moved in, your wife pointed at the little girl and said that no one would want her in the future. She would run around outside every day and didn't look like a lady from a noble family. Mrs. Song was so angry that she died. So, just give up, haha..."

"You...what nonsense are you talking about? It's all so old news. You still remember, haha...it's rare for you, Shopkeeper Wang. Our girl has no chance, and your family has even less chance. Don't forget that when the Song family's teahouse business was booming, your pastry shop also wanted to supply tea and steal the Song family's business! But, the tea you used was actually moldy tea. Shopkeeper Wang, I heard that your shop's business is going to fail. Are you planning to use your girl to get close to the Song family and leave the business?"

"Humph! This is unreasonable!" Shopkeeper Wang, whose true identity was exposed on the spot, probably wouldn't find any chance today.

He simply threw up his sleeves and left.
