Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

Only Shopkeeper Zhou and other people who were watching the fun were left, but not long after, the Song family's door was closed.

Those who wanted to find out what was going on lost their patience and left soon.

Only at the entrance of the alley, there were a few beggars with good eyesight. They knew that the Song family might have a happy event today, so they squatted there patiently.

At noon, someone from the Song family came out and gave them freshly cooked meals and silver.

The beggars received food and money, and knowing what the host meant, they found a secret place to eat.

In order not to disturb the interest of the nobles.

From the moment Su Xinqing entered her uncle and aunt's yard, she felt the familiarity of returning home.

There were no luxurious wood carvings, no pavilions, and no servants filling the yard. There was only my uncle's family, with their ill-concealed smiles and closeness.

Of course, it would be much better if there were no men around.

"Why did you come so early? Your second brother said that he saw your carriage returning to the Su family. Why did you come out so soon? Will your stepmother and father be unhappy? If something bad comes out, then you in the Marquis' Mansion..." Fang didn't say the rest of the words, but her face was full of joy, worry, and conflicting emotions, all written on her face.

"Don't worry, auntie, nothing will happen. My stepmother didn't like seeing me, so I quickly found an excuse to come out."

After hearing Su Xinqing's answer, Fang felt relieved. However, she was interrupted by Song Hejing before she could say anything else.

"Mom, don't worry. My cousin is already married, and she will have the support of the Marquis' Mansion in the future. It won't be easy for the Su family to intervene. I think you should go to the kitchen quickly to see Aunt Liu and see how the cooking is going. I saw my cousin's husband's face just now, and it was even darker than my eldest brother and second brother's faces. What if the food Aunt Liu cooks is not to my cousin's husband's taste? There are more than a dozen knights in our front yard who helped to carry things just now. It's scary to look at them..." Song Hejing pretended to be scared, and her eyes were trying to look towards the front yard.

After her daughter's reminder, Fang suddenly came to her senses: "Okay, okay, okay, then you sisters should talk nicely. I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything I can do to help. This is the first time Aunt Liu has cooked for so many people. I guess she'll be too busy to handle it."

Before she finished speaking, Fang's sleeves were rolled up.

When Song Hejing saw her mother leaving, she quickly approached Su Xinqing and asked in disbelief, "I never thought you were so pretty, cousin. If it weren't for dad recognizing you at first sight, mom, my second brother and I wouldn't have recognized you, cousin. Haha... I guess my eldest brother was also shocked. We didn't expect you to be so dangerous in the Su family. To me, your stepmother is really bad. You are just a concubine's daughter, so what does it matter? You don't worry about retribution for doing this behind my back..."

When Su Xinqing separated from Chu Wei and the others, she briefly explained to the old woman that there were problems with her rouge, powder, and clothes. Only then did she realize that the problems that were bothering her appearance were deliberately caused by someone.

The spearhead was naturally directed at the first wife, Mrs. Li, but she was not wrongly accused.

After all, it was true for a period of time, especially when Sang Rou and other older girls were around.

Not only was her face black, it was also itchy. The child's fair and tender skin soon developed a rash. Since that incident, Su Xinqing would make herself look ugly and black without them having to do anything.

That's why he was safe and sound all these years, especially because he was not sent to the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion as an abandoned pawn.

Su Xinqing saw that Song Hejing was getting more and more agitated, so she hurried to calm him down.

He changed the subject and said that he had just arrived at the marquis's mansion, where the house was bigger and there were more servants. The most important thing was the food and cakes, the monthly allowance, and clothes for all four seasons, all of which were much better.

After all, Chu Wei is a captain in the Northern Pacification Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He has been in the Marquis' Mansion for the past two days. I also heard that the third son of the Marquis' Mansion may be promoted soon. The Marquis's wife and Shen Ruyan must feel very uncomfortable every time they see him.

Yesterday, someone was sent over to tell us not to go to Wangzhuyuan. That sounds nice, because although the Marquis' Mansion is large, there are not so many rules.

After all, I cut myself off and wanted to have a respectful and filial virtuous person.

Unfortunately, the other party's plan fell into her hands. She was not a lady who cared about reputation.

Therefore, worried that Song Hejing would reveal her dislike for Chu Wei during the meal, and what if she angered such a fickle man who enjoyed torturing prisoners, Su Xinqing went to great lengths to brag about the benefits of marrying into the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

Even in their yard, there was a maid who cleaned the courtyard so clean that there was not a single fallen leaf left, and she praised her generously.

In fact, Su Xinqing's worries were completely unnecessary.

Because when dining, female and male guests are separated.

There was the only screen in the Song family separating the two rooms, which was big enough for four or five adults to stand side by side. And throughout the meal, Song Hejing acted like a real lady from a noble family.

Even though he was talking nonstop in the backyard, when he got to the dining room, he ate his food like a chicken pecking at rice, without even raising his head.

Compared to this place where only Su Xinqing and Fang were talking, her uncle and cousins ​​were even quieter.

Occasionally, the eldest cousin would politely introduce the characteristics of the food and courteously entertain Chu Wei.

Although his tone was not enthusiastic, it was not fearful either, nor was it flattering or fawning. This made Chu Wei look at him with a new respect.

It was Zhengyi who was standing behind Chu Wei. He had seen both the Yong'an Earl's Mansion and the Song family, and could tell who was the winner immediately, not to mention that it happened within an hour.

Although there is only one member of the Song family, Song Hejin, who is an official, and the rest are commoners and merchants, it is rare that they are not intimidated by the aura of their master.

You know, once his master just stood in front of a fifth-rank official and wanted to ask a few questions, but before he finished asking the questions, the other party fainted.

In Zhengyi's heart, he secretly gave the Song family a reputation of being open-minded and not fearing power.

However, Zhengyi seemed to have forgotten that, except for Song Hejin, the people in the Song family knew that Chu Wei was a member of the Imperial Guard, but did not know what Chu Wei's duties were.

It was simply believed that Chu Wei was just an ordinary Jinyiwei, and the people in front of the door might be guards from the Marquis' Mansion, who went to the Jinyiwei to protect Chu Wei.

After all, the son of the Marquis's family, even though he is a bastard's son, is always followed by several groups of people wherever he goes.

"Uncle, aunt, cousins, my husband and I are leaving first. I'll come to the teahouse to find you when I have the chance." Although she was reluctant, Su Xinqing left early.

She felt that if Chu Wei continued doing this, her second cousin would be broken into pieces.

"Yes, Xinqing, come back when you are free. If there is any matter in the mansion, tell your uncle and aunt. Your cousin will report to the yamen tomorrow. Don't worry, your cousin will do his best for you and support you in the future." Although Fang didn't know what official position her eldest son held.

However, she knew that these people who had been coming to her house recently should be okay. They couldn't be compared with the Marquis' Mansion, and they were not commoners, so there was always hope.

At the same time, it was also said to my nephew-in-law who had never smiled since he entered the door.

I want the other party to think of their Song family when they bully the little girl.

Besides, they couldn't do it, so they could only hope that their eldest son would work harder and support the Song family, so as to make the support from their sister-in-law worthwhile.

"Has my cousin's appointment document arrived?" Su Xinqing almost forgot to ask such an important question.

"Yes, the Director of the Imperial College!"

"Congratulations, cousin. Congratulations, cousin!" Two consecutive congratulations expressed Su Xinqing's good mood.

He holds a sixth-rank position and his cousin is only in his twenties. Su Xinqing is really happy for the Song family.

When Chu Wei heard the other party's answer, his eyes looking at Song Hejin became even darker.

Ru Shi Zhengyi was also shocked by the other party's family background and the official position he was about to take up, but he quickly returned to normal with a wooden face.
