A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Su Qingyu looked startled, Ah Ci?

When she came home today, Ah Ci was waiting for her. Something must have happened in the house.

The expression that was shy before because of Shen Zhixiu's half-hug suddenly turned cold.

"Wenzhu, let my fourth sister get in the car."

"You park the carriage in an inconspicuous place aside, and we'll go to Su's house after we finish talking."

After Su Qingyu finished her instructions in a deep voice, she remembered that Shen Zhixiu was still there.

She quickly turned around and asked Shen Zhixiu, "Third Master, do you think I can handle it this way?"

Shen Zhixiu chuckled lightly. If he had replied late, Su Shunci might have gotten in the car.

But she said, "My wife made the right decision, and I don't have any objections to my husband."

Immediately afterwards, Wen Zhu drove the carriage to a dead end and asked Su Shunci to get on the carriage.

Su Shunci's little face was tense, and she saluted the two of them before getting in the car.

"Big sister, brother-in-law."

Su Qingyu pulled Su Shunci to sit down next to her and asked in a low voice: "But what happened in the house? Or are you wronged?"

She looked Su Shunci up and down again, and saw that although the little girl looked a little gloomy, she showed no signs of injury.

Su Shunci knew that time was tight and she would have time to return home.

So I didn’t hesitate and only picked out the important things to say.

"Sister, my grandmother mentioned my father's concubinage at home yesterday, saying that she wanted to get those two concubines in as soon as possible."

"Originally, this was nothing. This was something that we had been optimistic about for a long time. But my grandmother proposed that the eldest heir is the most important thing. She asked my mother to use some money to buy some clothes and supplements for these two concubines."

"My mother disagreed and said that I could take the money from the public house. But my grandmother said that the money from the public house was not enough for anything, so she asked my mother to put the proceeds from the shop back home."

Su Qingyu's face was as dark as water. Now that she was married, her grandmother felt that her mother was easy to bully, right?

Su Shunci continued, "I went to say hello in the morning and heard my father and grandmother talking."

"It just so happened that today was the day to go home, and the Su family's son-in-law came to visit. They took advantage of this time to ask for money from her, the head of the family."

"Grandma said that when the time comes, my mother will consider my eldest sister's face and will agree. We can't make a big deal out of this matter in the family in front of our son-in-law."

When Su Shunci said this, he looked at Shen Zhixiu several times.

Although she came here to report the news today, she also said this specifically in front of Shen Zhixiu.

She wanted to see if this brother-in-law could protect her eldest sister. If he tried to persuade his eldest sister to settle the matter for the sake of face, she would not listen.

After listening to Su Shunci's words, Shen Zhixiu said in a deep voice: "If my father-in-law had put this thought into running errands, I'm afraid he would have been promoted long ago."

There was a hint of imperceptible sarcasm in his tone.

He comforted Su Qingyu softly, "Don't worry, let's go back home and see what's going on."

Su Shunci got off the carriage and said she wanted to go to the shop for a walk before returning home. She used this excuse to come out.

Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu went to Su's house in a carriage.

On a day like this, it stands to reason that Su Chengye and the old lady would just wait for the young couple to pay their respects and kowtow.

But Su Chengye and the others were restless, so they still went out to greet them.

Although in this family he is the father-in-law and Shen Zhixiu is the son-in-law. But he really didn't dare to show off his father-in-law's profile in front of Shen Zhixiu.

They were welcomed into Songhe Hall politely. Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu greeted the old lady, while Su Chengye and Lin kowtowed.

The third master, Su Chengxun, was busy with official business in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and had no time to come back, but the third wife, Haishi, was here.

The two of them bowed to the third lady again, and then the whole family sat down to talk.

Su Qingyu was wearing a bright red Suzhou embroidery jacket with a peony pattern and had her hair done in a bun. Even as she sat next to Shen Zhixiu, she already had the charm of a lady of the house.

Mrs. Lin felt a little emotional for a moment, her pampered daughter had finally found a good home.

When the two of them came in just now, when Su Qingyu stepped up the steps, Shen Zhixiu had to lower his head to remind her. This made Mrs. Lin feel a lot more at ease. Her son-in-law was a caring person.

The old lady also looked at Shen Zhixiu eagerly. With this grandson-in-law having power over the entire government, could the Su family still be prosperous?

"Zhixiu, has Qingyu been rude in the past two days? If so, just tell me and I will talk to her."

When Mrs. Lin heard what the old lady said, her brows immediately knitted together. When my daughter comes home, instead of asking her if she is having a good time at her husband's house, she actually asks her if there is anything rude about her?

It would have been fine if she was just being polite, but the old lady made it clear that she wanted to support Shen Zhixiu and deliberately suppressed her daughter.

Just as Lin was about to speak, she heard Shen Zhixiu speak.

"Grandma should have asked me if I was rude. Qingyu married into our family, so she was bound to be a little nervous when she first arrived. The Shen family was afraid that she would not be treated well, and I was also afraid that she would feel uncomfortable."

When Lin heard that these were Shen Zhixiu's words to protect Su Qingyu, she felt completely relieved.

However, the old lady did not hear Shen Zhixiu's deep meaning and said to herself.

"It's her blessing to be able to marry into the Shen family. If she's not comfortable yet, then she doesn't know how to appreciate her."

After saying this, Shen Zhixiu's face turned cold.

He is not willing to say anything about his wife, so why should others say it?

"I disagree with what my grandmother said. I am lucky to be able to marry Qingyu."

"If she feels uncomfortable, it's because I didn't do a good job. I can't blame her."

Shen Zhixiu had an easy-going smile when he spoke before, but the tone of these two sentences was much cooler.

Even if the old lady couldn't understand clearly, she could tell that he was protecting Su Qingyu.

Although she was a little unhappy with Shen Zhixiu's attitude, she was a little happy that Su Qingyu was able to win over Shen Zhixiu. Apart from anything else, this granddaughter's appearance is first-rate. Even if he serves as a servant, he should be able to win over Shen Zhixiu for a few years.

Thinking of this, the old lady cleverly changed the topic.

A few people talked about their daily routine, and Shen Zhixiu's expression slowly softened a bit.

While they were talking lively, a little maid came in and whispered in Mrs. Lin's ear: "Madam, the housekeeper has something urgent to ask you."

Although Mrs. Lin was dissatisfied, she thought it was no big deal, so she got up and walked out.

The housekeeper Su Zhong stood respectfully at the door. When he saw Mrs. Lin coming out, he stepped forward and said, "Madam, the Marquis said that today he will buy jewelry for the two aunts who are about to enter the house. The accountant now only has less than 500 taels of silver. I'm afraid it will be too late. It’s not enough.”

Lin did not expect that Su Zhong met her for this matter.

He said unhappily, "I already told the Marquis yesterday that the money will be paid by the public. What kind of day is today? Why are you telling me about such a small matter?"

Mrs. Lin knew that Su Zhong was Su Chengye's confidant. Su Zhong's grandfather and father had both been stewards of the Hou Mansion.

But this person usually does things smoothly and thoughtfully, but it was the first time he was so reckless today.

Su Zhong was actually in a dilemma. The Marquis and his wife were fighting, and he was caught in the middle.

He remembered the Marquis's instructions and made a gesture to kneel down.

The sound was also two points louder.

"Madam, please don't embarrass me. It's just a matter of a thousand taels of silver. Madam, just be noble."
