After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

Song Mingli lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Seeing that she was quiet and seemed very well-behaved, Madam Gu continued.

"Secondly, I think you should be the housekeeper from now on. Your father is in poor health, and your mother is too busy to take care of the affairs in her own yard.

"Shan'er is a grown man, how can you be tied down by the household affairs? Just tutoring Gu Huai is enough to keep him busy! You are his wife, how can you not ask him to share the burden?"

Song Mingli laughed even louder in his heart.

What is this? He wanted to poison her slowly, and at the same time, he made her lie down so that Gu Huai and Gu Jia could step on her to climb up.

On the other hand, she had to continue to work like a slave for the Gu family, and the Gu family would lie on her, sucking her blood and eating her flesh.

Did she owe the Gu family? Even if she did, she had already paid it back in her previous life.

Song Mingli sighed softly, "Grandma is going to cut off my cousin's family's line of succession! His parents are gone, and yet grandma wants to adopt his child. If the clan knew about this, I wonder how they would scold our family!"

Madam Gu's face froze, "You..."

"It's okay for me to be scolded, but if my grandfather was over there and met my cousin's couple, I don't know how they would be scolded!" Song Mingli said slowly while straightening the wrinkles on his clothes.

Madam Gu's face turned pale.

"Ah……"

Where did the cousin come from? It was just an excuse made up by Shan'er!

But Song Mingli now insisted on using the excuse of "cousin" and even brought up the old marquis who had been dead for many years.

Madam Gu's emotions were in turmoil, so she had to stop talking here.

"Let's not talk about the adoption for now. You must take responsibility for the housekeeper!" Old Madam Gu emphasized, "As a wife of the Gu family, this is your responsibility..."

"Madam, report to the old lady." The servant hurriedly said outside the door, "A young lady came to the door of the Marquis' Mansion. She said she is the Marquis' cousin and came to seek refuge with the Marquis."

Madam Gu was stunned for a moment and didn't react. "Which cousin? What's her last name? What relative of the Marquis's Mansion is she? Why is she here at this time?"

It's almost dark. How can you come to live with your relatives at this time?

Song Mingli was happy in his heart.

This must be because Su Yi couldn't wait and came to "take refuge".

Xiao Taohong’s acting is really good. She touched Su Yi’s heart and she came so quickly.

"It is said that her surname is Su and she is the madam's niece." said the servant.

Song Mingli raised his head and said, "Since she is my mother's niece, please invite her in, and ask my mother to come over too, so that we can see if it is true, okay?"

Madam Gu's expression changed slightly.

I guess I have guessed who the visitor is.

Back then, Gu Qingshan left his family behind to pursue Su Yi, which made the old lady very unhappy.

As a result, the old lady disliked Su Yi very much.

But in her previous life, Su Yi was very good at making the old lady happy, and she also gave birth to a pair of children for Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan, Gu Huai and Gu Jia kept speaking well of Su Yi in front of the old lady, and Su Yi also served the old lady for quite a while.

The old lady also gradually fell in love with Su Yi. I'm afraid that later on, Su Yi was the real granddaughter-in-law in her mind, right?

Song Mingli sneered in his heart… In this life, Su Yi entered the mansion early, and Gu Huai and Gu Jia’s identities were still unclear.

She wanted to see if the relationship between Su Yi and the old lady could still be as close as in her previous life?

Soon, Su Yi and Sun both arrived at Chongming Hall.

The two met outside Chongming Hall.

Sun still had a look of surprise and displeasure on her face, with her brows slightly furrowed.

Su Yi's face showed determination and success.

"Hello, old lady, Madam," Su Yi greeted the two of them and then looked at Song Mingli.

She was supposed to call her "Young Madam", but she smiled and said sweetly, "This must be my cousin's wife, right? My sister-in-law is as beautiful as the rumors say! She is indeed a Kyoto beauty."

There was a hint of frivolity in the deliberate closeness.

The smug smile on Su Yi's face seemed to mock Song Mingli - so what if she was a beauty in Kyoto? She couldn't even keep her own man?

Song Mingli, however, did not smile and had a serious expression.

"Don't call me so affectionately first," Song Mingli said coldly, "Mother, is Miss Su really your niece?"

Her straightforward questioning made Su Yi feel a little embarrassed.

"Aunt!" Su Yi seemed humiliated.

Although Sun was not happy about Su Yi coming here on her own initiative, when facing Song Mingli, she still stood with Su Yi and faced the outside world together.

"How can this be false? She is my own niece!" Sun held Su Yi's hand and said to the old lady, "My elder sister was unlucky. She died after giving birth to Yi'er and his brother.

"My brother-in-law was an official in Linzhou and died three years ago, leaving my sister and I to depend on each other. My nephew is a hard-working man. He helped out in the government office before and was recommended by someone. Now he has joined the army.

"It's too hard for my niece to be alone in Linzhou, so she came to me for help."

Song Mingli listened quietly. This was exactly the same rhetoric as in his previous life.

When Sun mentioned Su Yi's younger brother, Song Mingli narrowed his eyes slightly.

Su Yi's younger brother in his previous life was indeed lucky. More than a year after Su Yi came to the Gu Mansion, he also found a golden thigh in the army.

Later, everyone in the Gu family looked up to Su Yi and treated her politely, also because they were optimistic about her brother's future.

But now, Su Zhengyang is still an unknown soldier in the army, and it is still a long way to go for him to get hold of that golden thigh.

"So Miss Su is also the daughter of a good family, and the descendant of an official?" Song Mingli's tone contained a hint of contempt.

Su Yi's face changed slightly immediately.

In her previous life, Song Mingli was too good-tempered. She never bothered Su Yi even when she showed off in front of her.

But in this life, since Su Yi has come to your door, you must be prepared to be ridiculed.

"Does my cousin-in-law dislike me? Why does she talk like that?" Su Yi said aggrievedly.

Sun also glared at her fiercely.

Song Mingli pretended not to see it, "Oh, I'm a straightforward person, don't take it to heart. After all, I've come to the Marquis' Mansion, I can't just ask nothing, can I just let my cousin live in?"

Su Yi's face twitched and she pulled the corners of her mouth dryly.

"Since you are the descendant of an official, can you read?" Song Mingli asked.

Su Yi took a deep breath, raised her chin slightly, and looked proud. "I started learning at the age of six, and I was familiar with "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Classic" at the age of eight."

Can you read? Oh, who are you looking down on?

"Oh, literacy," Song Mingli nodded nonchalantly, "but since women don't take the imperial examinations, literacy is secondary. More importantly... can you manage household affairs? Have you managed a household?"

Su Yi felt humiliated by Song Mingli's nonchalant attitude.

She puffed out her chest and said, "My mother died early, and my father never remarried. When I was ten years old, I followed my mother's dowry nanny to learn how to manage the household. I can't say I'm very proficient in accounting, managing chores, and managing servants, but I'm a good hand at it.

"Oh, if we talk about the experience of being a housekeeper, maybe I have been a housekeeper longer than my cousin's wife!"

Su Yi came to Gu's house early because of Xiao Taohong's stimulation.

Of course, she didn't want to be outdone by Song Mingli!

On the contrary, she wanted to prove it to Gu Qingshan and everyone in the Gu family! If she became the mistress of the Gu family, she would be stronger than Song Mingli!
