Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

Yong'an Houfu.

In the largest courtyard, the old lady and Mrs. Li were feeling worried about the recent events in Duke Zhang's mansion when another piece of bad news came.

The pampered old lady fainted from anger.

After Li settled the old lady down, she called a palace doctor for treatment. She felt relieved when she learned that the old lady was suffering from a heart attack caused by the qi and blood.

He left Yuan Lezhen to serve him and went back to the main courtyard with his men.

While walking on the road, a little maid who went to the old lady's yard to report the news was beaten to death.

When he entered his own yard, he saw two little maids resting under the corridor. Each of them had been beaten with forty boards.

Only after sitting in the hall did Li finally calm down and sent someone to go to the Earl of Yongchang's mansion to inquire about the news.

"Madam, the fourth young lady usually seems to be smart, how did she run into trouble this time? Besides, it's just a bastard. After the birth, she could have been held in her own courtyard, so why make such a fuss? Wouldn't the fourth young lady's reputation be ruined? Now that bastard has not been eliminated, and so many gossips have spread. It's really not worth it. Now that the whole capital knows about it, she doesn't even want to save face in the future. Alas... it also implicates our eldest young lady!" Mother Xi sighed sadly, "Eldest young lady, your situation in the prince's mansion was not bad, but now that the seventh and fourth young ladies have to deal with it, I don't know how much trouble she will have to eat."

"Hmph! Few of these concubines' daughters are worry-free. If I had known this would happen, I should have given them all a bowl of medicine and sent them away, so that I wouldn't have to pay for their dowries. After they get married, not only can they not help Yu'er and Ya'er, but they also cause trouble for them." Thinking of this, Li was so angry that her teeth were itching.

She cursed Su Chong again in her heart. When Xi's mother went out, Li specifically instructed her about the contraceptive soup in the mansion.

After receiving Li's order, Xi's mother increased the dosage without authorization.

After all, there were more illegitimate sons and daughters, so the property that went to the legitimate sons was less.

"Miss, you don't know that the fourth young lady of our mansion is now under the care of Madam Yuan of the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion. How could a gentle and kind person like the fourth young lady send red flowers to the concubine in the mansion? Fortunately, the doctor who was invited by Madam Yuan to see the concubine recognized her, otherwise, wouldn't it be disregarding human life? I didn't expect that such a gentle person like the fourth young lady could be so cruel!" Banyue went to the front yard almost every day these days to inquire about the news of Duke Zhang's Mansion.

It would be fine if these people cursed the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion, but why did they curse my daughter as well?

It was really too much, but no one would have thought that at this critical moment, the fourth girl would get into trouble again.

Everyone in the city knows it!

How can their girl gain a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion?

Thinking of this, Banyue became angry. When they were rich and prosperous, their young lady didn't get any benefits at all.

Instead, she married into the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and on the second day of her wedding, she was laughed at by everyone in the capital.

Now that a scandal had occurred in the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion, their girls were also being scolded.

They say all kinds of dirty and smelly things about these girls. It's really too much.

Thinking of this, Ban Yue's eyes turned red.

"It's okay. The mouth is on someone else's body. Can you control it? Has there been a reply to the news I asked Shanqing to find out?" Su Xinqing gave the other party a comforting look and then asked.

Instead of caring about reputation, Su Xinqing wanted to know something else.

Banyue did not dare to delay the young lady's business, so she restrained her emotions and replied truthfully word by word: "My master, Shanqing has been looking for a long time before he found out that there is indeed a family surnamed Wei in the south of the city. However, they have no daughters, only two sons. Later, a neighbor said that their daughter was sent away to a rich family. Now the Wei family lives a very comfortable life. They used to eat meat almost every day, but now they have roast chicken or pig's trotters for every meal. Even the beggars in front of the Wei family's door have gained weight. The neighbors said that every few days, the maids of the rich family would send things over. The bulging things did not look like silver, but they were probably valuables. Otherwise, the Wei family would not have such a good life. Young lady, why did you think of inquiring about such a poor family? Their daughter is so beautiful, and she actually got so many good things from the master?"

"Hehe, it's true that their family has a good daughter, so isn't their life good? Have you found out which family the maid belongs to?" Su Xinqing sneered.

Finally she came. The person that Su Xinwan wanted to kill as soon as possible was none other than Wei Wanshu. Or who else?

However, if you calculate the time, isn't the child in Wei Wanshu's belly her adopted son? It's really hard to kill him.

"I didn't inquire about it. Shanqing said that every time the maid went back, she had to walk a long way and take a long time to go around the market streets. When there were many people, she would lose her." When she said the latter part, there was no complaint towards Shanqing in Banyue's tone. Instead, she sounded a little cautious.

He was afraid that his girl would be angry and punish Shan Qing.

Su Xinqing looked at him without saying anything, but narrowed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth: "Why? Are you worried that I, your daughter, will punish him?"

Ban Yue naturally understood the teasing of her young lady, and said stubbornly: "He didn't do his job well, and was sent by the Third Young Master to help you. He didn't do his job well, so you should punish him!"

"Oh! I don't know when I, your master, became so mean in your heart. Why? Did I punish you before and make you remember it?"

When he heard what his girl said, Ban Yue's face turned red. He stood there angrily and didn't say anything.

After a few breaths, he knelt down and apologized: "Miss, it's all my fault... I shouldn't have speculated about you."

"Okay, get up. It's not a big deal. You just couldn't help yourself and said something to Shanqing in front of me. It's not too late to wait until you achieve your goal and ask Shanqing to come and apologize to me." Su Xinqing teased.

Banyue's knees, which had just stood up, suddenly went weak.

Then, he heard Shanlan and Shanrui laughing beside him. They stood up, covered their faces with handkerchiefs, and ran away quickly.

Shan Qing, who came in to report, was startled. If Shan Qing had not dodged in time, the two would have bumped into each other again.

When Banyue saw clearly who was coming, her face turned even redder.

"Ban Yue, you..." Shan Qinghua couldn't finish his question before Ban Yue disappeared.

Helpless, he could only pretend nothing happened and walked into the main hall.

As soon as I looked up, I saw my master's smiling face, as well as Shanlan and Shanrui's ambiguous smiles.

For some reason, Shan Qing just felt his scalp tingling. This kind of fear was not when he was facing his own young master, but when his life was at stake and his head could be lost at any time.

Rather, it is another kind of helplessness of being targeted and having no way to escape.

"My Lord, Shan Wu and the caravan have returned. Shan Wu is waiting outside for a reply."

When Su Xinqing heard that the caravan had returned, she instantly forgot about what happened in the past half month.

"Let Shanwu come in and answer the question." Su Xinqing calmed down and said seriously.
