Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

"You... hehe!" Old Mrs. Zhang had a kind face and looked at the younger generation with loving eyes. Seeing Su Xinqing answering without asking, she didn't take it to heart and smiled instead.

"You are a man of good words. I have met the third son of the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion twice. He is reliable. Your marriage is a good one."

"Yes, old lady from Duke Zhang's Mansion, I also think that mother loves me very much. If mother had not been unwell and could not come today, I would have to thank mother for her great kindness." Su Xinqing said from the bottom of her heart.

Anyway, if she doesn't marry into the Earl of Yongchang's mansion and get bullied by the mother and son of the He family, she would be fine marrying anywhere.

Speaking of which, she was also very grateful to He Yuanming's mother for not falling in love with her back then.

"Haha...you are a filial son, Madam Su. You are blessed. Your children and grandchildren are all very promising. This granddaughter is also very eloquent and beautiful." Madam Zhang said as she had someone present a gift to Su Xinqing.

"This is for you. Your sisters had it when they met each other earlier."

"Yes, thank you, old lady from the Duke's Mansion." The nanny behind him handed over a gold bracelet with a hollowed-out floral pattern on it.

Gold jewelry should be vulgar, but this bracelet not only does not look vulgar, it also looks more precious.

It’s not the price of the gold itself, but the complicated craftsmanship of the bracelet, which shows at first glance that it is not something that an ordinary craftsman can accomplish.

Su Xinqing's smile became much more sincere after receiving such a beautiful gift from her elders.

When Mrs. Zhang saw this, she smiled even more broadly, and looked at Su Xinqing with even more satisfaction. She also told her that when she had nothing to do, she could come to the Duke's Mansion and sit down.

Su Xinqing saw from the corner of her eye that Su Xinru and her grandmother's faces were as black as the bottom of a pot.

Especially Wei, the look he gave Su Xinqing was like a scraper.

"Yes, Third Miss, your seventh sister is going to marry into the Duke's Mansion in the future. You are in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and they don't need you to be a housekeeper. You have nothing to do, so it's a good opportunity for you to spend more time with Ru'er." Wei glanced at the gold bracelet on the other's hand. She was used to seeing good things, so she could tell at a glance that this bracelet came from the palace after all.

He just didn't expect that the item that should have belonged to his daughter would end up on Cheng Yaojin's wrist.

"Yes, Third Aunt is right. Xinqing knows about it." The benefit has already been gained, so Su Xinqing can still tolerate others saying a few more words.

When a rabbit gets angry, it will bite!

"Third girl..."

"So, Xinwan is here, talking to the old lady of the Duke's Mansion and the old lady of the Su family. I thought you, my daughter-in-law, had gone somewhere. Mother Qiu looked for you for a long time but couldn't find you. You said that you wanted to serve the two old ladies. As a mother-in-law, can I stop you?" Madam Yuan, the mistress of the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion, walked in with her people.

He first greeted the two old ladies as a junior, then stood in front of them with a smile on his face.

She acted like a lady from a wealthy family, but what she said made the old lady present frown.

“Fourth Miss, since you have already married into the He family, you should serve your mother-in-law well. How can you be so playful? Knowing that your sisters are here, you come here casually and make your mother-in-law anxious.” The kind face of the old lady of the Su family gradually became displeased.

However, she still apologized to the old lady of the Duke's Mansion next to her, "The children have grown up and have their own little thoughts. They are probably often confined to the mansion and miss their sisters at home. It is common for them to forget for a while. When we were young, we just became wives and had some married behaviors. In short, we didn't do anything that was against the will of heaven, elder sister, don't you think so?"

"Well, whether young people are playful or have forgotten the rules, it is best to do things openly and honestly." After saying this, the old lady from Duke Zhang's mansion closed her eyes, unwilling to say more.

Madam Yuan had been ridiculed and mocked by the two men continuously. She was already filled with dissatisfaction in her heart, but because of her status and age, she forced a smile.

Without saying much, he looked coldly at his daughter-in-law who had brought such insults to him.

Su Xinwan had been married into the He family for a year or two, and she knew more or less what her mother-in-law had done and how she punished people.

There are at least three or four reasons for the concubines and illegitimate sons and daughters who have fallen into the hands of their mothers-in-law, if not five or six.

Basically, it was suppressed by the mother-in-law and the He family, but in the eyes of the shrewd people in the wealthy families, they also looked down on the mother-in-law's methods.

Because most of the rich and powerful families are Buddhists, they are very cautious about killing, especially human life.

What's more, the laws of the Dali Dynasty do not allow it. However, there are always some people who can escape the law as long as the evidence is eliminated quickly enough and the money is spent properly.

There aren't that many people who have nothing better to do than to pick on the eldest lady of an earl's mansion.

But no matter what methods the mother-in-law uses, she is never accepted by many people.

The old lady of Zhang Guogong in front of him was one of them.

"Xinwan, who is this?" Madam Yuan looked Su Xinqing up and down as if she had seen something interesting.

"Madam Yuan, how are you? I had the honor of meeting you at the Earl of Yong'an's mansion two years ago!"

"Oh...it's you..." Mrs. Yuan seemed to have suddenly thought of something, smiled meaningfully, and then her expression became calm.

After bidding farewell to the two old ladies, he left with the bewildered Su Xinwan.

Su Xinqing saw the two people leaving and also made an excuse to leave.

No matter what the Marquis's attitude was, he still had to follow her.

Just as my mother-in-law said in my previous life, even though I’m married, I still need to serve her.

What's more, since the Marquis's wife disliked her, she liked it even more. Especially in this kind of occasion, the other party would not say anything excessive, so she felt like a fish in water.

Shen Ruyan stared at the person standing next to her, not understanding how a person could be so tactless.

No matter what she said to her mother-in-law, the other party always smiled and remained as calm as a rock.

"Third sister-in-law, we are going to the Fourth Prince's mansion for a wedding banquet soon, so you'd better get in your own carriage!" Seeing that her mother-in-law could no longer suppress her anger, Shen Ruyan was very worried that her mother-in-law would find an excuse to scold her.

"Okay, sister-in-law. If there's anything your mother-in-law needs me to do, just tell her. Don't be polite with me. Although I'm a little thinner, I'm still very strong." Seeing that most of the others had gotten on the carriage, Su Xinqing did not delay.

He walked back to his carriage and got on with the help of Shanlan and Banyue.

As soon as the convoy of the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion left, he followed behind.

"Miss, I see that the Marquis's wife and the eldest young master's wife don't look very happy. What's wrong with them? Is it because they saw that Miss Zhang married the Fourth Prince and became his consort, and Miss Mingzhu of our family missed the opportunity?" Banyue's bold remarks successfully attracted Shanlan's attention.

A pair of eyes, with words written all over them, "You are so brave."
