Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First
Chapter 96: Auspicious Signs Covered in Dust
When Su Xinqing dressed up and went to the mourning hall in the front yard, there were not many young people there.
Only people from the second room were there, and people from the fourth room were busy packing up, which is understandable.
The wife of the eldest wife, Yuan, is the housekeeper and will not come, but Shen Ruyan did not come either.
Chu Mingzhu was not there, and none of the younger generations from the fifth room came.
After a few simple greetings, Su Xinqing lit a few sticks of incense and left.
After all, no one else came, and she was the only one there, which seemed a bit odd. What's more, she and the Second Madam had only met a few times.
However, when his eyes met the little girl from the second room, he couldn't help but feel distressed.
About eight or nine years old, the little guy knelt on the ground, looking at the coffin in front of him with sad eyes.
When He Xier saw Su Xinqing's gaze, she also hid her tears and said with certainty: "Mother died because she saved her husband. I will definitely raise my aunt until she grows up and gets married. Don't worry, my husband and father-in-law have gone to the government to explain what happened last night. When my husband and father-in-law come back, I will take my aunt back to rest. So she will be less energetic. If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I will just watch over her here. Come and see mother-in-law more often!"
After saying this, she, with the help of her maid, bowed to Su Xinqing.
At this moment, the little girl kneeling next to her also moved, stood up, and imitated He Xier, and bowed to Su Xinqing.
He continued to kneel on the cushion and did not move anymore.
Unconsciously, Su Xinqing's tears began to flow.
He touched the little girl's bun and left the familiar place without stopping.
However, because I was in a hurry to leave, when I went out, I saw a couple walking towards me from afar.
Su Xinqing was trying hard to hold back the tears in her eyes, so she just took a general look and thought that someone from the second room had returned.
She was thinking about bowing to him, but before she could bend her knees, she heard the man's question: "Why are you crying again?"
The man's voice was without any emotion, like a sharp blade that had just been taken out of an ice cellar.
It easily pierced Su Xinqing's heart, and the tears that had been accumulating in her eyes fell silently.
It stands quietly, like a blooming lotus, fresh and refined.
However, at this moment, her eyes contained endless sadness and grievance, and tears slid down her cheeks like pearls, which made people feel pity.
The plain clothes on her body seemed to isolate her from the hustle and bustle of the world around her.
The tears slid down her skin, outlining her delicate face.
Chu Wei looked at the person in front of him and felt annoyed. He told the maidservant behind the woman, "Send the Third Young Master's wife back to the backyard and don't come out for the next few days."
"Yes, Third Young Master."
Su Xinqing was not given any chance to refute, and her right to go out was deprived.
I wanted to find someone to argue with, but all I saw was his back.
Fortunately, the previous mood was interrupted by Chu Wei's appearance.
Thinking that the capital city was probably in quite a mess during this period, he gave up the idea of going to pay homage to his mother.
Su Xinqing focused almost all her attention on Chu Wei, so she did not notice the surprise in the eyes of the Jinyiwei behind Chu Wei after she turned around.
What a beautiful scene, a beauty shedding tears, dressed in plain clothes. It is hard to imagine that there is such a beautiful and elegant woman.
It was not until they heard Chu Wei snort coldly that everyone quickly restrained their surprise.
With a serious expression and firm steps, he walked towards the old marquis's courtyard in the backyard.
In the afternoon, Shan Qing went directly to Su Xinqing's yard and reported the situation outside.
Su Xinqing felt relieved when she knew that her aunt's family was fine.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Shanqing talking about the bandits who had entered the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
The heart that had been put at ease was now hanging again.
"You said, they came here just for me? They caught the housekeeper from the old lady's yard and asked me where I lived. In the end, the person they wanted to kill was me?" Su Xinqing looked at Shan Qing in disbelief. After he nodded, her heart finally settled down completely.
"But why? Why do they want to kill our girl? Did she eat their rice?" Banyue couldn't understand why her aunt, who was staying in the backyard peacefully, would get into such a disaster.
Shan Qing was also confused by his master's question, and he just tried to recall: "The Third Young Master seemed to have mentioned the knife they used. It was not an ordinary knife. Although the origin has not been found, it is said to be very valuable. When it was cast, black iron should have been added. Madam, the Third Young Master really only said this."
Seeing Shan Qing's embarrassed look, Su Xinqing knew that this was probably all the other party knew, so she didn't ask any more questions.
However, Su Xinqing had roughly guessed who was the mastermind behind the scenes.
The people I know and have made friends with are relatively few, and there is no one I have any enemies with.
However, there are only a few people who dislike me. Maybe they think that I am blocking the way for others.
What's more, because of the relationship with the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion, his reputation in the capital should have been affected.
Last night was another godsend opportunity. If I didn’t try it, I would have lost a lot.
Therefore, he started to take action without knowing which courtyard he lived in.
It's just right to disguise yourself as a bandit and put the blame on the bandits.
The plan was really perfect. If he didn't strangle himself when he was born, he could only kill himself in the chaos.
It’s a perfect closed loop.
What made him perfect was that he had people arranged by Chu Wei around him.
"Shanlan Shanrui, have you learned martial arts since childhood? Did the Third Young Master let you stay by my side to monitor me? Or to protect me?"
After hearing Su Xinqing's question, both of them knelt down, without looking panicked.
"Reporting to the Third Young Master's wife, the Third Young Master gave the two of us to her, even though he asked us to help her with things. However, since we arrived at the backyard, I have not reported back to him. Please understand, Madam Third Young Master!" Shan Lan kowtowed and stood up, explaining solemnly.
"Get up, of course I believe you." Su Xinqing said with a smile, "You don't have to be so restrained in my courtyard in the future."
Shanlan and Shanrui looked at each other and stood up.
"Thank you, Madam Sanshao."
"But..." Su Xinqing changed the subject, "Since you know martial arts, why don't you teach me and Banyue Qiuyue some. We have nothing to do in this courtyard all day. If we encounter any problems in the future, we can barely protect ourselves. If that doesn't work, we should strengthen our bodies."
Shanlan and Shanrui were a little surprised. They didn't expect it to be so easy.
The two of them answered in unison: "Yes, Madam San Shao."
The next day, another bombshell news came out that the twin boy and girl of Concubine Su in the Crown Prince's Mansion fell ill because of the fright caused by the earthquake.
In the past two days, the imperial physician in the palace has been in the Prince's Mansion to treat the two imperial grandsons.
The matter seemed to have passed by after hearing about it, until Su Xinqing heard that the twins' first birthday party had been postponed.
Only then did I realize the seriousness of the matter.
