Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

However, as soon as Chu Mingzhu saw Su Xinqing, she came over and told her about the thrilling experience that had just happened.

And just now she ran out without shoes or socks. Fortunately, Dongxiang risked her life to go into the house to get them, otherwise she might have caught a cold.

Su Xinqing listened quietly.

"Madam, Madam, something bad has happened. The old marquis's wife has fallen down." A little maid ran in from outside. She was neatly dressed from head to toe. At first glance, she was the maid on night duty.

On winter nights, the little maid was also running around with sweat all over her forehead.

It can be seen that the old marquis’ wife fell quite hard.

Nanny Gong had just ordered the maids in the yard to place the couch, and before Yuan had time to rest, she heard this sudden news.

She couldn't help but frown, but immediately suppressed her emotions and asked someone to simply tidy up her hair.

He took Su Xinqing and a few others and walked towards the back garden.

In half an incense stick of time, Yuan rearranged the affairs in the backyard and the courtyards of several young masters in the front yard, and assigned a few more maids to notify them.

There is also an inspection of the courtyard walls and buildings of the entire Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to prevent any problems from occurring in the old houses.

Finally, they sent Nanny Gong's son to the outside of the mansion to find out the situation.

Su Xinqing followed behind and listened, and suddenly felt overwhelmed.

By the time they arrived at the old marquis's wife's yard, people from the second, fourth, and fifth rooms were already there.

Su Xinqing glanced around the soft couch in the middle, but did not see the figure of the old marquis' wife.

"Grandma, grandma, what's wrong with you?" Chu Mingzhu was the first to push aside the crowd and rush over.

Chu Mingzhu was very anxious along the way. If her mother hadn't pressed her, she would have run over here with people long ago.

Pushing aside the crowd, Chu Mingzhu saw her grandmother lying there with her eyes closed, and tears couldn't help but fall.

"Where is the court physician? Has anyone gone to find one? How did mother-in-law fall? How was the case so serious? How did you servants take care of her? If she is so careless, what use are you?" Yuan's words were full of anger, and the maids and old women in the yard quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

As the only one in charge of the entire Marquisate over the years, Yuan still has a lot of prestige.

The old marquis's wife, who originally didn't want to open her eyes, heard the reprimand from her eldest daughter-in-law and knew that if she didn't speak up, the people in her yard would probably be in trouble.

"Okay, Mingzhu, don't cry. Grandmother is fine. She's just old and weak. Don't blame them, eldest daughter-in-law..." The old marquis's wife spoke softly, but the moment she opened her mouth, the kneeling maids and old women quickly shut up.

Only then could the breathless words of the old marquis' wife be heard by everyone.

Jiang was also wearing a single layer of clothing with a fox fur coat on the outside to avoid shivering from the cold on the early winter night. However, her hair was tied up loosely, and it was obvious that she came here in a hurry.

Seeing that the mother-in-law had recovered, she also forced a smile and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, since the mother-in-law said there was nothing wrong, you should not blame the servants. If you sell them off and replace them with some new ones, the mother-in-law will not be used to them. Wouldn't it be a good deed with bad intentions? Just fine them a month's salary, and it will be fine. Who could have thought that such a thing would happen in the middle of the night? Even I almost fell down. Fortunately, I steadied myself, otherwise I would probably be in my yard now, unable to get out. Here, the court doctor is here, let the court doctor take a look first."

"I am honored to see ..."

"Okay, Royal Doctor, no need to be polite. Come over here and check on my mother-in-law..."

When Jiang saw someone coming, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled the man up to show him to the old marquis's wife.

They were also very anxious, otherwise the good days of their fourth and fifth rooms would be over.

It didn't take long before the men of the Chu family who came from the front yard and the aunt's yard all arrived.

This was the first time that Su Xinqing met the master and sons of the Chu family except on her wedding day. The first time, she couldn't tell who was who, and this time, she didn't seem to recognize them either.

It was Shanlan beside her who introduced them to her one by one.

The Marquis is in the army and did not come back in time. It is estimated that it will be difficult for him to come back for a while.

The Fourth Master and the Fifth Master were both in their forties or fifties, but although they were not old, they were already skinny and their faces looked very much like the old marquis's wife.

Both of them had dark circles under their eyes, which were obviously unhealthy white, and their bodies were empty due to sexual intercourse.

If there is any difference between the two, it should be that the Fifth Master is taller and more impatient. The first thing he did when he entered the yard was to lie down on the soft couch next to the old marquis and ask about his mother's condition.

He did not have a nice tone towards the court physician, and when he heard the old marquis's wife fall, he kicked the maid who was kneeling on the ground several times.

Su Xinqing looked at him a few more times and she could still tell that the Fifth Master was judging people by their appearance.

On the surface, the Fifth Master was acting randomly, but in fact, before kicking anyone, he moved several steps to the left and chose a second-class maid with average looks to kick.

Even though the Fifth Master's body was hollowed out by sex, he was still a man after all. After a few kicks, the maid who was kneeling on the ground vomited blood immediately.

Finally, he was taken away by two old women.

As the eldest son of the Yuan family and the eldest grandson of the old marquis, Chu Yu has an upright figure and is almost as tall as Chu Wei.

However, he was thin, and wore a sky-blue brocade robe with a jade pendant, which was popular among Confucian scholars, hanging under his waist. He looked more elegant and scholarly.

His eyes were clear, and his concern for the old lady was genuine.

The sons from other families who were following behind all had worried looks on their faces and stood still.

It took an hour or two from the time the court physician entered the yard to the time he went to get the medicine and boil it.

Finally, the old lady's right foot was fixed and bound so that it could recover better.

After giving some instructions, he left.

Because everyone was so nervous, they didn't even feel the small aftershock that followed.

However, just as everyone was about to leave, they saw flames rising from the sky in the distance, as well as shouting and cries for help.

"Eldest wife, please send someone to check what's going on. Why is it so noisy outside?" After drinking the medicine, the old marquis's wife finally felt better.

Only then did he have time to look at his son and grandson in the yard and nodded with satisfaction.

However, he was still startled by the noise coming from far away and sat up.

"Madam, Madam, there seems to be someone outside who has been robbed..."

A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and the people in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, whose mood had just calmed down, were in a state of turmoil.

I was stunned for a moment, then I started to get anxious and panicked, not knowing what to do.

I don't know who said, "Will there be any trouble in our Marquis' Mansion?"

"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, please quickly send someone to guard our Zhenbei Marquis Mansion? What should we do if someone breaks in and we are powerless? By the way, where is Chu Wei, the third son of your family's eldest branch? Quickly ask him to send people back to guard our Zhenbei Marquis Mansion!" The Fifth Master was terrified, with his ears perked up, listening to the noise outside, as uneasy as a frightened bird.
