Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

The banquet at the Prince's Mansion was brightly lit and magnificent.

A group of dancers dressed in gorgeous costumes danced like fairies.

Their light figures and graceful movements seem to bring the audience into a dreamlike world.

The spacious courtyard is furnished with exquisite tables and chairs, and the tables are filled with delicacies and fine wines.

The ministers were dressed in gorgeous clothes, gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing.

They greeted each other and discussed court affairs and interesting stories in a harmonious and warm atmosphere.

Whenever someone mentioned that the Crown Prince and Concubine Su had given birth to twins, there would be exclamations of admiration all around, and everyone would congratulate the Crown Prince.

At this time, Su Xinya also became the focus of the audience.

She was wearing a gorgeous dress embroidered with exquisite patterns, shining with brilliant light.

Her beautiful face made all the ladies present envy her. With the Earl of Su family, it was a great fortune for her to marry into the prince's mansion as a concubine. She also gave birth to a grandson for the emperor and the empress, which was an even greater fortune.

Many ladies in gorgeous clothes surrounded Concubine Su. Their faces were full of smiles and flattery. They vied with each other to express their congratulations and blessings to Concubine Su.

The prince stood aside with a happy smile on his face.

He accepted the congratulations from his ministers, and at the same time did not forget to chat with the people around him.

The whole scene was lively and filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

Also attracting a lot of attention were, of course, the Li family, the old lady, and Su Chong, so the disputes on their side were not noticed by the three heads of the family.

However, in just a quarter of an hour, the prince had already looked in the direction of the He family two or three times.

"Ah... Crown Prince, Concubine Su, Concubine Su..."

The sound of stringed instruments and orchestras was suddenly interrupted by the screams of the servants. The court officials who were toasting each other just now immediately fell silent.

"What are you shouting for, you ignorant slave!" The eunuch who had been following the prince stood up, walked a few steps to the little palace maid lying on the ground, and kicked her.

"Ah..." The defenseless little palace maid fell directly to the ground.

Everyone was used to this scene and their faces showed no emotion.

Before the palace maid could say anything, the eunuch had already called the surrounding guards to keep the person away.

When being dragged away by the guards, the little palace maid seemed to be really frightened. Her expression was as still as a wooden chicken, and she did not put up any resistance.

But when everyone was looking at the little palace maid, Su Xinqing saw Nanny Zhang walk up to Su Xinya and whisper something.

Su Xinya's body swayed a bit, and then she started to get up.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard Jiang Xinrou's scolding outside the courtyard: "Don't you see what day it is? Why don't you die far away? Dying here is intentional to bring bad luck to your master! Get the librarian out quickly, lest Concubine Su sees your sadness. It's really bad luck. Such a good day, really!"

"Yes, yes, I will take the corpse of Miss Sishu out now. I thank the Crown Prince's Concubine for her great kindness!" The steward of the front yard was covered in cold sweat on his face and body. He had just inspected this side and found nothing unusual. He really didn't understand why when he turned back, he found the corpse of the maid who came with Concubine Su's dowry.

The steward now felt a chill on his neck.

"What are you guys doing making such a fuss here?"

The group of people who were talking suddenly heard this voice and knelt down out of habit.

Of course, Jiang Xinrou is definitely not included.

"Crown Prince, Concubine Su, why are you here? Is the banquet over?" Jiang Xinrou looked at the Crown Prince and the people behind him with confusion.

Although the lighting was a little dim, people with sharp eyes could still see the curve of Jiang Xinrou's mouth.

"Librarian? Is Madam Zhang the librarian? What's wrong with being a librarian?" Su Xinya walked right past the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess and tried to go behind the steward, but was stopped by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Madam Zhang.

"Concubine Su, Concubine Su, please wait a moment. I will go and see if it is the secretary maid. Concubine Su, your master has just given birth to two little children. He is weak and must not be bumped into. Si Hua, Si Qi, you keep an eye on Concubine Su. Do not get too close to her, understand?" After instructing the two of them, Nanny Zhang went behind the steward, asked the guards to put the person down, and lifted a corner of the white cloth to check.

The dignitaries who followed were also waiting quietly, and no one dared to interrupt.

Even Li secretly went to her daughter's side, comforted her in a low voice, and signaled Xi's mother beside her to wait and go out to see how the secretary died. It was obvious that the person behind the scenes wanted to make the Su family unhappy.

At their daughter's full-month party, they took action just to destroy their family's momentum!

However, they forgot that their family's success depended on the favor of the emperor, empress and prince. They thought that killing a servant could stop their family's rise. You have to know that her grandson, a little imperial grandson, is now in the prince's mansion.

"Mother, the prince...it's really the secretary...why is that? When the secretary left just now, he was helping me go back to the yard to get my cloak..." Su Xinya's face was sad and she was about to cry. Even with Li's support, she felt like she would be blown down by a gust of wind.

However, only those who were familiar with Su Xinya knew that she hated her very much at this moment.

Su Xinya has always attached great importance to her reputation. It turned out that just because Wei said a few words about Su Xinya at the gate, not only the expenses in the courtyard were reduced sharply.

Even the turnover of shops in Wei's city has been reduced by more than half. Even if the shops are not closed, it is almost the same as if they were closed.

Therefore, when Wei was preparing a dowry for Su Xinru, she would often go to the old lady's yard to cry poor.

"Don't worry, Yaer. I will let my subordinates investigate the matter of the librarian thoroughly for you!" Seeing his beloved woman sad, Helian Yan became even more unhappy and began to give orders to his subordinates in a stern voice.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure in the crowd: "Tongzhi Qin, Chu Zhenfushi, since you Jinyiwei are here, can you help investigate this case?"

"Your Highness is too polite. Chu Wei, go and assist the people in the Prince's Mansion to find the murderer." Qin Tongzhi bowed and said.

"Yes, Lord Qin, I will go now!"

Su Xinqing looked at the other person's back as he walked away, and had no idea when Chu Wei appeared by her side.

When he came back to his senses, he felt a gaze on him. He turned around and saw the man who was called Qin Tongzhi by the prince just now was looking at him.

A man in his forties, with a pair of eyes as calm as water, Su Xinqing actually saw Chu Wei's shadow in the other person's sight.

"Third Miss!" Shan Lan reminded, "This Lord Qin is the Third Young Master's superior."

"Your servant Su Xinqing pays her respects to Lord Qin!" Su Xinqing nodded to indicate that she understood, and then she greeted Qin Tongzhi in front of everyone.

"Madam Chu, there's no need to be so polite!" Qin Tongzhi originally just wanted to see what kind of wife his stepmother had forced upon his subordinate.

I didn't expect that after looking into his eyes, there was no fear on his face.

Instead, he came to pay his respects to him, which was beyond Qin Tongzhi's expectation.

While the two of them were exchanging a few words, the area where Su Xinqing was, not only the minister, but even the masters, disappeared.

However, before she could say a few words, Su Xinqing was told by a maid: "Madam Chu Sanshao, our Crown Prince's Consort and Concubine Su want to see you. Please follow me."
