Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

Su Xinqing didn't have any doubts about the words of the old man in front of her.

After all, it was Shanwu who found the rice shop, so she knew some basic information about it.

"Okay, stand up and answer." Then Su Xinqing carefully inquired about the situation of the shop, where Manager Wu was an apprentice before, his family situation, etc., before letting him leave.

After returning home, he found Shan Wu, gave him enough silver, and asked him about the escort agency and caravan heading south.

It is obviously not possible to collect grain from the capital, so we can only get it from the south, the land of fish and rice.

Moreover, it was necessary to disperse the grain collection, and the two shops in the capital were just a cover.

Jiang Xinrou must know what I was thinking. After all, the emperor has already noticed the actions of the Jiang family, and there must be no major actions in the capital.

I can only look towards Jiangnan. I can’t eat the meat, but I can still drink the soup.

Soon, Shan Wu found two merchant ships, an escort agency, and a caravan. Since there was no suitable one, he found a big manager from the third young master's business to follow.

There were also the guards in the Third Young Master's villa, and Shan Wu followed them, and they went to Jiangnan by water at the fastest speed.

Although the water route is more dangerous, it is also the fastest route.

That’s the time difference that Su Xinqing was targeting.

What made her more convenient than Jiang Xinrou was that she had enough cash to move around, while Jiang Xinrou still needed to pawn some things.

Duke Jiang’s Mansion is wealthy, but that only applies to the Duke’s Mansion, not Jiang Xinrou herself.

What's more, there was a big commotion in the capital some time ago, so they could only do it secretly.

Therefore, the Jiang family's ship only set off a month after Su Xinqing's ship set off.

At this time, Su Xinqing had already received a letter from Shan Wu, and he had already started purchasing rice in Jiangnan.

And has already moved on to the next county.

Before the end of the year, Su Xinqing also received an invitation from the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion.

When Su Xinru got married, Su Xinqing had to go back to buy dowry for her cousin. Yuan and Shen Ruyan also sent head ornaments and brocade respectively for Su Xinqing to take back.

By the time Su Xinqing arrived at the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion with her maids and servants, there were already many carriages parked at the door.

What Su Xinqing didn't expect was that Su Xinru's yard was deserted, except for her elder sisters from the eldest house, Su Xinya and Su Xinwan, who both sent people to deliver gifts.

As the prince's concubine, Su Xinya has a pair of young children to take care of, so it would be fine if she didn't come.

Even Su Xinwan didn't come, she just sent her maid over.

Several sisters from the second room did come, but they had no say and sat in the corner.

Only Su Xinqing and Su Xintao were left, and they were both annoyed with each other.

"Seventh sister, this is marrying into a wealthy family. We sisters will still need your support in the future. Don't pretend not to recognize us sisters, third sister, don't you think so?" Su Xintao said indifferently while touching the Begonia pearl hairpin on her temples.

The look he gave Su Xinqing was one of both unwillingness and contempt.

However, when she thought of her husband's gentleness and kindness by her side before she went out, she felt relaxed all over.

"Sixth sister, that's impossible. Anyone can disown you, but I cannot help you. In this courtyard, except for my eldest sister, you and I are of similar age and have the best relationship. In the future, we need to visit each other more often. We are all sisters. There is no such thing as marrying up or not. As long as Mr. Zhang can be as considerate as your sixth brother-in-law in the future, I will have nothing else to ask for. Third sister, don't you think so, right?" Su Xinru was beaming.

Perhaps, it is true that people feel refreshed when good things happen. Su Xinru's originally sarcastic face now seems exceptionally gentle.

But what was said still made people uncomfortable.

"What the two sisters said is right. Seventh sister, the things have been put in the yard. I have been out for a long time today, and it is time for me to go back." No matter how good Su Xinqing's mentality was.

After being bullied again and again, Su Xinqing's patience was almost exhausted.

She stood up and was about to go outside, but was stopped by Su Xintao who also stood up: "Third sister, this is because she married into a rich family and doesn't like you. Why are you leaving after just a few words? Third brother-in-law is busy with official duties and I heard that he rarely comes to the backyard. Third sister, it's nothing to do if you go back early. Sister, the night alone is short. If you go back, you will have to stay alone in an empty room. Isn't it boring? It's better for you to sit here and let me accompany you to relieve your boredom!"

Su Xinqing: “…” Looking at the smug man standing in front of her.

Su Xinqing rolled her eyes fiercely and threw aside all her recent self-control.

Su Xinru also sat aside with a smile on her face, watching the show.

Su Xinqing now feels that this is really a waste of time.

You should find a reason and excuse not to come, and really give in a little, just like when you were a kid, and then you bully me.

"My sister is blocking the way!" After saying that, he didn't want to continue acting with the two of them here. After all, he still had things to do when he returned.

Unlike the two people in front of her, who lived on their dowries and the government subsidies.

You can live a life of luxury, but you have no freedom.

"Ah..." Su Xintao was thrown to the ground without any preparation.

The room suddenly became quiet. Su Xinru looked at him for a long time before asking in surprise, "Third sister, what are you doing? There are sisters in the room, why did you push Sixth sister down?"

The only response she got was the back of Su Xinqing leaving with her people.

He just said briefly, "Sorry, I didn't see it!" and left.

On the second day, Su Xinqing found an excuse not to attend the wedding at Duke Zhang's Mansion, let alone the wedding at Earl Yong'an's Mansion.

What she didn't expect was that Su Xintao also did not go back on the grounds of illness.

"Miss, you don't know. I saw from a distance that the Third Madam's face looked very bad. The old lady was fine. The first lady said she was also sick and did not go out. Therefore, although the Yong'an Earl's Mansion was decorated almost the same as when you got married, it was much quieter. I also heard from Chunhe that after the Third Madam went back, she went to the old lady's yard to cry and complain, saying that not only was the Seventh Miss's dowry small, it was not as good as Su Xinya's, and even the relatives who came to send her off were pitifully few. Miss, guess what?"

Su Xinqing listened to Banyue talking without stopping her needlework. She glanced at Banyue briefly.

I continue to look at the embroidery in front of me. I have been embroidering it for more than two months, and winter is approaching.

It must be completed before the snow falls, otherwise if you wait until winter to embroider, your hands will not be as smooth.

The most important thing is that she was too lazy to embroider anymore. Even if she had a charcoal basin, it was not as comfortable as in spring, summer and autumn.

So, since the other party doesn't really welcome you, why bother to join in the fun?

"Hehe... at that time, the old lady drove the third lady out. Girl, it's because you have a good temper. The seventh girl has bullied you since she was a child. It's all because of the third lady. Relying on the old lady's favor, she is lawless. After all, you are a girl from the eldest wife, and it's unreasonable for the girl from the third wife to bully her elder sister. In my opinion, with the character of the seventh girl, her life in the Duke's Mansion will not be better." Banyue was really angry.

Now that he has left the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion, he can finally speak up for his daughter.

Shanlan and Shanrui listened quietly at the side without interrupting.

However, sometimes I was still impressed by my master's embroidery skills. The peonies and colorful butterflies on the embroidery frame were so lifelike.

They seemed like they could fly out at any time. They had also seen the world. Among the several embroiderers employed in the marquis's mansion, even the best one, Madam Zhang, was not as skilled and superb as their own master.

The two of them had been watching it for a while, and during their breaks, they had secretly gone back to practice.

Facts have proved that embroidery skills cannot be mastered in a short period of time. The needle and thread flying in the hands of the master are like a dead object in their hands.

It feels like every stitch is unnecessary.

After two attempts, I gave up decisively.
