A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min
Chapter 35 Who did you hire?
If the young lady takes action against the Marquis at this time, the crime of patricide will plunge the young lady into an abyss. She promised the third young master that she would protect the young lady.
Su Qingyu looked resolute and determined to end all this today. God gave her a new life, not to let her continue to be bullied.
Just as Su Qingyu was about to quietly pull out the dagger, two people suddenly squeezed in from outside the crowd.
"Have you finished reading the betrothal gift list? Are we late?" The speaker was Duke Zhao Jingwu of the Kingdom of Wei, accompanied by Song Zan, the Marquis of Loyalty and Justice.
These two people are both distinguished among military generals and powerful figures in aristocratic families. It would be a huge honor for the Su family to come here alone, let alone two together.
Su Chengye didn't care about Su Qingyu at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, and asked, "Why are you two here?"
Duke Wei looked around and saw that the atmosphere at the Su family was a little off. He thought it was because he was late, so he said apologetically, "It's my fault for the betrothal today. I met an old friend on the way and chatted with him for a while. I asked them to read the betrothal gift list first. Did they read it?"
Marquis Zhongyi and Duke Wei had always been close to each other, so he joked: "It's all your fault. The lazy ass is grinding its hands and peeing a lot, so I said I would offer the job first. You have to talk to Chen Laosan."
Su Chengye suddenly realized that the Xu family not only invited Prince Duan and Shangshu Qiu, but also Marquis Zhongyi and Duke Wei?
This is truly an honor that has never been seen in a family in the capital.
But I haven't heard that Duke Wei and Marquis Zhongyi are so close to Mr. Xu Ge?
Although he was a little suspicious, Su Chengye still firmly believed that this was done by the Xu family to give the Su family dignity.
Seeing this, Su Yihui's face lit up with joy, and she rolled her eyes at Su Qingyu arrogantly. Then he ordered the boy next to him, "If you don't drag that girl down, it will be like this on the day of recruitment. It is really unlucky."
After that, he explained to Duke Wei and Marquis Zhongyi: "I made these two adults laugh. My sister at home is not sensible, and she doesn't know how to avoid taboos on such an important day. Don't worry about it."
Logically speaking, Su Yihui had no place to speak in such an occasion, but in order to show that she was valued by the Xu family, she stepped forward to make her presence felt.
Before Wei Guogong could react, Su Yihui raised her voice and said: "Father, let the eldest sister go back. The more I think about it, the more unlucky I feel. She is going to marry a dead man, so she should stay away from my betrothal gift. I'm afraid If you get bad luck, it will not be good for the Xu family when the time comes."
Duke Wei's expression suddenly became strange. He looked at Su Yihui, "What did you say? It's bad luck to marry a dead person?"
Su Yihui thought that since Duke Wei Guo hired someone for the Xu family, he would naturally consider everything for the Xu family. She felt happy when she saw that Duke Wei's face was a little gloomy. Duke Wei must have felt that this was against the Xu family's taboo.
If this matter gets out of hand, her father might put Su Qingyu under house arrest. Even if he doesn't put her under house arrest, he will scold her and make her lose face in front of everyone.
Thinking of this, Su Yihui opened her mouth and replied to Duke Wei's words, "My eldest sister is assigned to the third master of the Shen family. You said that on this happy day, she is in charge of the middle gifts and comes to count the betrothal gifts for me. Isn't this deliberately looking for bad luck?"
"My father said a few words to her, but he was not happy anymore. He took the maid to death, and the maid saw blood again."
"I really made everyone laugh. I will let her go back now."
After speaking, she glared at Su Qingyu and said, "Eldest sister's refusal to go back will affect my marriage. Can you bear this?"
Relying on her marriage to the Xu family, Su Yihui felt very proud today, and she spoke much tougher than usual.
Su Qingyu was instructing the maid beside her to send the agate back first, and then find a doctor.
Hearing what Su Yihui said, she turned around and said coldly: "Master Shen died for his country. I only feel honored to marry him. If you mention the word bad luck again, don't blame me for being rude."
The first two sentences were just casual remarks, and the last two sentences were what she wanted to say.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Duke Wei Guo shouted, "Well said."
The next moment, Duke Wei looked at Su Chengye with a sullen face and murderous intent, "Su Hou, your daughter actually slandered Xiu behind her back. Shouldn't you explain to me what's going on?"
Marquis Zhongyi was also filled with anger and his eyes were sinister, as if he was going to fight at the next moment.
Su Chengye suddenly woke up. Duke Wei Guo was Mr. Shen's biological uncle. He said he would hire someone, but he didn't tell the Xu family.
"The Duke...didn't you hire him for the Xu family?" Su Chengye asked tentatively.
Duke Wei snorted: "Xu family? Why should I hire someone for the Xu family? Marquis Zhongyi and I helped the Shen family hire the eldest lady of the Su family."
Marquis Zhongyi had always looked down on the Xu family, and he said angrily: "The Xu family can't control me."
Su Chengye looked at the boy who was reading out the betrothal gift list again, "Then whose betrothal gift did you just read out?"
The boy was also stunned and replied: "Of course it's from the Shen family."
I recited it all day long with him, but was it in vain?
Seeing this, Su Qingyu walked up to Duke Wei and Marquis Zhongyi, saluted, and then said: "Fortunately, you two came in time, otherwise the little girl would have been buried with Mr. Shen, or would have been buried. A pair of jade Ruyi will kill you."
Duke Wei and Marquis Zhongyi looked at each other, wondering what had happened. They just came a little late, so why did they cause trouble?
"Nephew and daughter-in-law, tell your uncle what's going on. I, the Duke of Wei, will make the decision for you on this big matter."
Zhao Jingwu and Shen Zhixiu were uncles and nephews according to their seniority, but privately, they were sworn friends.
A few days ago, Zhao Jingwu heard that the eldest daughter of the Su family was willing to keep her integrity for Shen Zhixiu. It could be said that Zhao Jingwu burst into tears of gratitude. It's not that you can't find a woman who observes integrity, but from a family like Su Qingyu's, such good looks are really rare.
At this time, Zhao Jingwu thought of Shen Zhixiu, and a surge of anger surged in his heart. If someone bullied Shen Zhixiu's wife in front of him today, it would be because Zhao Jingwu was incompetent.
Seeing this, Su Chengye hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. Qingyu, it was my father's fault just now. Fortunately, your maid is loyal, and my father will reward her generously."
The old lady also stepped forward to persuade: "Qingyu, let's get down to business first. Let's talk about these things after closing the door."
Su Qingyu bit her lower lip tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, as if she was pretending to be strong but also worried.
She gratefully said to Duke Wei: "Thank you very much, Lord Guo, for your concern. These are all trivial matters in the inner house, so I won't waste your time."
Her behavior made Duke Wei even more angry. This girl was obviously threatened by the Su family and did not dare to say anything.
"This matter must be made clear today. Before Marquis Zhongyi and I came in, what happened to the Su family?"
"You are not only the eldest daughter of the Su family, but also the third wife of the Shen family. How can you let others bully you?"
