Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

After hearing what the nanny said, Su Xinqing took Luhe into the house.

In the afternoon, he asked the wet nurse to run to the kitchen and bring back some food. Finally, his stomach was not so empty anymore, so he gave some to Luhe.

Lu He didn't dare to eat it at first. Even though she was young, she knew that some of the food was prepared for the young ladies in the courtyard. They were servants and slaves and had no right to eat it.

However, when he saw the fierce look in the girl's eyes, he timidly started to eat. When he tasted the soft, sweet and delicious date paste pastry, his eyes lit up.

The thin little face still showed a bright smile.

"Girl, do you want to leave a few pieces for the nurse?" Lu He hadn't finished chewing the biscuits in her mouth yet. She looked at the last few pieces on the plate and said with some struggle,

"No need, the nurse has already eaten?" Su Xinqing said with certainty, her fair little face showing an unnoticeable disgust.

"Well, then girl, you can eat a few more pieces," Lu He said happily.

In fact, she had often seen her wet nurse and her two elder sisters, Chuntao and Chunxing, in the yard, sometimes sneaking in to eat, but she would be pushed out as soon as she arrived.

The wet nurse gave her a stern look, so Lu He didn't dare to say anything or complain.

After her aunt passed away, the wet nurse and her friends became even more excessive. When she took a few more pieces of food with her chopsticks, the wet nurse hit her hands hard several times.

As a result, she can only eat the coarse rice in the bowl and the leftovers.

Today, I can eat such delicious snacks, so naturally I don’t want to save them for the wet nurse. However, I am still a little worried that the wet nurse will cause trouble for the young lady and myself.

However, I can't care about that right now.

Thinking that she was full and had strength, she thought that if the wet nurse and Chun Xing and the others bullied the young lady again, she would be the young lady's thug, so she moved her mouth faster.

"Luhe, do you know where the makeup box I brought back from my aunt is?"

"Girl, I don't know. They are all kept by the wet nurse. I'll call the wet nurse in for you. Just wait." After saying that, Lu He disappeared in a flash. Su Xinqing looked at her from behind and her eyes lit up. She had never realized that Lu He had such potential.

Not long after, Lu He came back from outside. From a distance, she could hear her nurse following behind her: "Lu He, slow down. What's the matter with running around the mansion?"

But it did not delay Lu He's steps. She soon came to Su Xinqing and said without blushing or panting: "Girl, the nurse is here."

"Okay, Luhe, take a rest."

"I'm not tired, girl." Lu He said seriously.

Su Xinqing nodded and motioned for her to stand behind her. Seeing the nurse coming in, she said, "Nanny, where is the makeup box that my aunt left for me before she passed away?"

There was an unknown emotion on the wet nurse's face, but it did not escape the eyes of Su Xinqing, who had been a human for three lifetimes.

"Girl, why are you looking for that thing now?"

"My aunt passed away. I miss her and want to see her things." Su Xinqing pretended to be very hurt and sat on the stool with her legs not even reaching the ground.

As she spoke, she lowered her head, and a few tears rolled down her round little face. She looked so pitiful.

The wet nurse was also somewhat moved. After all, he was the child she had watched grow up.

After hesitating for a long time, he slowly said, "Don't be sad, girl. Put it in your room. I'm worried that you will feel sad when you see it, so I put it on top of the wardrobe. Girl, wait, the nurse will help you take it down."

The nurse went to the bedroom, and after a while, she came out with a red carved makeup box, and said, "My lady, everything is in here, just take a look, or I will keep it for you, this is the dowry that your aunt prepared for you, you can't lose it."

Su Xinqing took the makeup box, and her expression slowly subsided. She looked at her nurse and said sweetly, "Okay, I understand, nurse. Thank you." Looking at the box left by her aunt, she continued to ask, "Nanny, when can I go to my aunt's grave and burn a stick of incense?"

"Miss, you are really putting me in a difficult position. How can I be the master of my masters? Besides, you are still young and need the Madam to accompany you when you go out." The nurse said with an embarrassed look on her face.

"Is that so? But I haven't visited my aunt since she passed away. Two days ago, I was sick and confused, and I saw my aunt saying she wanted to take me away. It was my wet nurse who woke me up. Do you think my aunt will blame you for stopping me from going with her?" Su Xinqing asked stubbornly and puzzledly, with tears in her eyes.

"This? That shouldn't happen... Aunt is the kindest person. I have never seen someone as beautiful and kind as you. She will definitely not hold it against me," the wet nurse said uncertainly.

In an instant, as if he had done something wrong, he felt a chill down his spine, and changed his words: "I'll ask Madam Qin who is beside the Madam. Miss, you and Luhe should stay in the house first. It's cold outside, don't let your body get frozen."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Nanny. I'll be waiting for your good news."

Looking at the nanny's back, Su Xinqing's round, innocent eyes showed a hint of indifference.

Without paying any more attention, the wet nurse hurried out and opened the makeup box on the table.

What surprised Su Xinqing was that the dazzling array of pearl hairpins and jewelry inside was completely different from the last time she got this makeup box.

The more he looked, the more frightened he became. Wasn't the gilded and kingfisher-inlaid hairpin the one that appeared on the nurse's head later? The golden crabapple pearl flower was also seen on Chuntao's head in the yard.

It turned out that in the previous life, his home was robbed.

I originally thought that in the previous life, they were rewarded by the master of some courtyard, and no one asked about the origin of these jewellery.

Now it seems that not only that, he even boldly took the things that his aunt left for him.

Su Xinqing sneered again.

The real victim was myself. There was a pair of jade bracelets under the box, although the quality was not the best, as well as red coral bracelets, blue peony agate hairpins, gold peach blossom jasper hairpins, etc., all of which I had never seen in my previous life.

However, it must have been difficult for my aunt to save so many things. She didn't expect that in the end most of them were stolen by the villain.

Continuing to look through the small drawer below, I found the title deeds of those shops.

These shops have been transferred to the name of my aunt. The wet nurse and others don't have the courage to move them, but most of them were in the red when I took over.

The place was also full of the eldest lady, or the mothers and relatives from other courtyards. They were all lazy and greedy. There was nothing on the shelves, only a few tea bowls in the grocery store, and the guys sat together chatting.

There was only brown rice and rotten grain in the grain store, and no one was seen working there. There was also a small food shop that was closed.

It took a lot of effort to find the original owner, offended a lot of people, and then cleared out the corrupt officials in the store. It was five years later before the store became profitable again.

Looking at the deeds of the three shops in her hand, Su Xinqing put the documents away and placed them in her small makeup box.

In the bottom mezzanine is the title deed to a small courtyard in the south of the capital city, as well as a 200-acre piece of fertile land on the outskirts of the city.

I still put it back far away, sighing that this is the case that a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

My aunt has only lived for a few years, but she has been able to save so many things. Most of them must have come from gifts from her good father, and some of them must have come from the kindness of the first lady, who gave them as rewards during festivals.

In her previous life, Su Xinqing trusted the people in the yard wholeheartedly.

Especially after the wet nurse left, she promoted Chuntao and Chunxing to be her head maids, and they received the monthly salary of first-class maids, but most of the work was done by Luhe.

Before she got married, she naively thought that it was the same in other courtyards.

It was not until after the marriage that he realized something was wrong. Before his marriage, Chuntao and Chunxing were married to Xiaosi in the mansion by their families, and they did not accompany him when he got married.

Lu He, who followed her into marriage, was promoted to the head maid.

Apart from that, there was no one else around him who could be used. Because of this, he was under the control of the Earl of Yongchang.

In this life, she will use the money left by her aunt to pave the way for her revenge, and manage the shops and farms left by her aunt well, so as to live a happy and stable life.

Thinking of her as a traveling soul, it is also very frustrating. She must strive to succeed in this life.

If nothing else, it was for the reward of 996,007 yuan for her being a social animal in her previous life.
