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

Su Qingyu held the three paintings and led people into Qingyuan Residence. Xiangdong was about to shout when Feicui stuffed a handkerchief into her mouth.

"If you disturb the old lady, even ten lives will not be enough to compensate you." Su Qingyu warned coldly.

So even if the veil was spit out soon, she still didn't dare to make a sound.

The servants at Qingyuanju were also shocked, wondering, on the first day as the Third Madam's housekeeper, she already started targeting the Old Madam's people?

But no one dared to speak, they all pretended not to see Xiangdong.

The servant picked up the curtain, and Su Qingyu walked in.

When the old lady saw Su Qingyu coming in, she thought she had encountered difficulties as a housekeeper on her first day.

He hurriedly waved for her to come forward and sit down, "Why is this hour here, but what happened?"

Su Qingyu handed the three paintings to the old lady and said, "These are the paintings prepared in the warehouse today. I said I chose one as a gift for the second lady to go to the Zhang family tomorrow."

"You'll know what's going on after just one look."

The old lady only glanced at the scroll, and then her expression changed. She picked up the painting and opened it gently. It was exactly what she thought.

After looking at the three paintings one after another, the old lady asked in a deep voice: "Who prepared it?"

"Xiangdong."

The old lady was startled, how could it be Xiangdong? If it was a little maid, she might get the wrong one. How could a person as safe as Xiangdong make such a mistake?

Su Qingyu sighed, "Xiangdong told me that these three paintings were all chosen by the second sister-in-law. Let me choose one of them and take it to the second young lady tomorrow as a gift for her to go to the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion."

"I didn't know at first whether this was the original work when my father-in-law was still alive, or whether the little maid in the warehouse told me."

"That's when I realized that I almost made a big mistake."

The old lady's chest heaved with anger. She knew without thinking that Xiangdong did this on purpose.

She took Su Qingyu's hand and comforted her: "Good boy, I was negligent and didn't tell you these things."

"The way I see it, let Aunt Hua stay with you for a while to help you take over the business."

Su Qingyu hurriedly said: "This can't be done. Aunt Hua is used to being bossed around by my mother. I just need to slowly smooth things over. I don't have to ask for someone from my mother."

She doesn't know how to use any of the people in Qingyuanju. When there are too many people around, many things become difficult to handle.

The old lady was extremely satisfied with this little daughter-in-law. On the one hand, she loved the house and the bird, and on the other hand, Su Qingyu spoke and acted very appropriately. Don't be ostentatious, and everything that needs to be done can be done.

Su Qingyu added: "My daughter-in-law heard that Xiangdong was someone who left Qingyuanju, so she wanted to ask her mother, what should I do with this person?"

While the old lady was meditating, the eldest lady Chen walked in.

Su Qingyu guessed that she heard the news.

Sure enough, Mrs. Chen came in and asked, "Why is Xiangdong kneeling outside? What's going on?"

Su Qingyu told Mrs. Chen what happened just now.

Mrs. Chen glanced at the old lady's expression, took another sip of tea, and then spoke.

"Is there any misunderstanding here? Xiangdong was with his mother before, so he shouldn't do such a thing."

"Since the third brother and sister have brought the person, why not call him in and ask."

Su Qingyu nodded, "I think so too, I have to ask clearly."

Soon, Xiangdong was brought in and knelt on the ground.

Chen was the first to speak, "Xiangdong, tell me, what is going on?"

Xiangdong knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the old lady. "Old lady, you must make the decision for me. I am unjustly accused."

The old lady said calmly, "Don't shout about injustice first. First tell me what's going on."

The servants who were killed with sticks cried out louder than the last, but it was just their instinct to survive.

If the old lady has five points of trust in Xiangdong, then she has nine points of trust in Su Qingyu.

Xiangdong took two deep breaths and spoke.

"Two days ago, the second lady said that the second lady was going to the Zhang family to attend a flower party, and she had not yet decided what to give her. Originally, I was going to ask the second lady about this, but I heard that the third lady is now the housekeeper, so I hurriedly went to ask the third lady. lady."

"My servant took the third lady to the warehouse and showed her the booklet, asking her to make a decision on this matter."

"The little girl in the middle caused some trouble, so she called me away. When I came back, the third lady had already taken out these three paintings and said to choose from them."

"My servant immediately explained to the third lady that this is the old master's original work and cannot be given away."

"But the third lady scolded the slave, saying that the slave was refuting her face in public."

Having said this, Xiangdong climbed two more steps towards Su Qingyu and knelt in front of Su Qingyu to beg for mercy.

"Third Madam, I didn't mean to rush into you. I was just in a hurry."

"I know that the third lady just wants to establish her authority as a housekeeper, but I can't accuse my servant unjustly."

Su Qingyu was almost amused by these remarks, and it was almost as she expected.

Mrs. Chen sighed, "Third brother and sister, you are too impatient. Even if you want to establish your authority, you can't slap your mother in the face."

"Xiangdong is very loyal to her mother, and she served her well at Qingyuan Residence. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been allowed to be in charge of the house after her husband died."

After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she discussed with the old lady in a low voice, "Mom, I think the third brother and sister are also confused for a moment, so don't let this matter be spread outside. Just let Xiangdong suffer a little aggrieved, and just say that he bumped into the third lady. This matter It’s over.”

Chen looked generous and had Su Qingyu in mind. Since the matter had reached the old lady, her goal had been achieved. As for whether it would be spread, it was probably already spread.

Su Qingyu smiled lightly and said, "Sister-in-law is too impatient. If she doesn't know, she thinks Xiangdong is yours and you are so protective."

"Now that we all insist on our own opinions, we need to find a witness."

Chen's words were sarcastic, "The third brother and sister are not talking about your maids, are they? They can't testify for you."

Su Qingyu shook her head, "No way, I really have witnesses."

With that, he said to the old lady: "Mother, let Aunt Hua and my maid Pearl go together."

The old lady knew what Su Qingyu meant. If Pearl went alone, she would be suspected of bribery. If you bring Grandma Hua with you, no one will question it.

"That's fine. Auntie Hua, please come with us."

Chen's face changed slightly, why did he suddenly have a witness?

She subconsciously looked at Xiangdong, who also looked at her in panic, full of surprise.

Su Qingyu sat calmly drinking tea and killed Xiangdong with a stick. The rest of the matter would be much easier to handle.

But she guessed that this matter had nothing to do with Chen, and Xiangdong would not drag Chen into trouble for the sake of the whole family. It is said that she also has a younger brother who is preparing for the imperial examination and relies on Xiangdong's monthly salary in the house to make ends meet.

If she puts up with the matter, Mrs. Chen will send some money to her family. But if she bit Chen out, she would die in the end, and the family might even be retaliated by Chen.

Su Qingyu did not expect that the development of things would be far from what she expected.
