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

He's voice was not loud, and only the old lady and Hai, who was sitting next to her, heard it.

The old lady turned her head and glared at her, giving her a warning look.

Although He was angry, she didn't dare to say anything. Her eyes fell on Su Qingyu again, wanting to see if she had any signs of poor health. She still had hope for the things she had hidden in the house.

To her disappointment, Su Qingyu had a rosy complexion and looked energetic.

As soon as Su Yuanzhou and Shen Yue entered the room, a servant who understood their intentions brought a futon over. The old lady had been sitting here all morning, waiting for this moment.

Su Qingyu bowed and stood aside.

Fortunately, the three wives, Mrs. Hai, were in charge of all the trivial matters in the mansion, and everything was properly prepared. The couple had a smooth tea ceremony and received the gifts.

After serving tea, the three brothers Su Chengye, Su Chengyan and Su Chengxun prepared to take Su Yuanzhou to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors and burn incense to them.

He couldn't help but speak again, "Now our family has a prince, but our ancestors are still buried in the mountains of the Lin family. It's not right to spread this."

"What a pity! The Lin family asked for a huge sum of 200,000 taels of silver. I wonder if Prince Ning's Mansion can afford this amount of money?"

Her son Su Yuanqing became notorious because he wanted to "move back his ancestors".

He was secretly delighted, and she would let Su Yuanzhou and the Lin family settle the dispute. Maybe they would just break up over these two hundred thousand taels, which was not a small amount after all.

The people she hated the most now, besides Su Qingyu, were the Lin family. They were closely related to her son's death.

Su Yuanzhou, who had just stood up and was about to go to the ancestral hall, had a momentary twisted expression on his face after hearing He's words.

If Second Aunt had said this yesterday, he would have had to respond vaguely.

The old lady at the side wanted to scold He, but she thought about it and didn't say anything. She also wanted to hear what the eldest grandson who was crowned as a king thought. If she could alienate him from the Lin family, it would be a good thing.

As for whether the mountain could be taken back, the old lady was not worried. Her grandson had already been crowned king, so how could he be troubled by a mountain?

Su Chengye was still brooding over what happened last time, and after hearing what He said, he also agreed.

"It is true that your cousin did something dishonest. He asked for an exorbitant price and took advantage of our Su family."

"If you ask me, we can just cut off this relationship."

Su Yuanzhou looked puzzled. "I understand what father meant. If my third cousin asks for an exorbitant price, this relationship will be severed."

Seeing that Su Yuanzhou had listened, Su Chengye immediately became alert.

"What if my third cousin doesn't ask for a penny and just gives me the mountain directly?" Su Yuanzhou suddenly asked.

Su Chengye said without thinking, "That's impossible. All businessmen are dishonest. If Lin Wuchen doesn't want a single penny, I... I will kowtow to him to thank him."

That was two hundred thousand taels of silver, and he didn't believe that Lin Wuchen would give it to the Su family for free.

Upon hearing this, Su Yuanzhou calmly took out the land deed and handed it to Su Chengye.

"Father, take a look. This is what my third cousin gave me this morning."

"No need to kowtow. I'm afraid my third cousin wouldn't dare to accept such a great gift from father. Father, please tell me when we can go to the Lin family to express our gratitude."

"For such a great favor, we should at least beat the gongs and drums, bring meat, seafood, and various gifts, right?"

Su Chengye took the paper suspiciously, and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth after just one look.

Afterwards, the paper was passed to Su Chengyan, Su Chengxun, and the old lady.

Su Yuanzhou explained, "My third cousin didn't ask me for a penny for the deed. He said it was a wedding gift for me."

He moved the corners of her lips indignantly but didn't say a word.

A wedding gift? Who would give a mountain worth two hundred thousand yuan as a wedding gift? Did the Lin family have too much money to burn?

Finally, Su Chengye sent the deed back to Su Yuanzhou.

Then Su Chengye said dryly: "Since it was given to you by your cousin, you should keep it."

Su Qingyu thought, of course, my brother should keep it. This is my brother and sister-in-law's private property, and it will be left to their children in the future. It has nothing to do with the people in the Su family's ancestral home.

She smiled and comforted Su Chengye, "When does father plan to go to the Lin family to thank them? Do you want your daughter to accompany you?"

Su Chengye's face turned red, and he turned away and said, "It's time to go to the ancestral hall."

Afterwards, the three Su Chengye brothers took Su Yuanzhou to the ancestral hall, while Hai went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Su Qingyu and Shen Yue sat in the hall and chatted with their grandmother.

The old lady didn't make things difficult for Shen Yue, and was always friendly. Second Madam He tried to interrupt several times, but Su Qingyu didn't give her a chance. He hated Su Qingyu, but she was also afraid of her, so she didn't dare to say anything excessive.

Half an hour later, the three brothers Su Chengye and Su Yuanzhou returned from the ancestral hall. Hai also prepared lunch and invited everyone to eat in the flower hall.

They were still separated by a screen, with the women at one table, and the three masters of the Su family, as well as Su Yuanyi and Su Yuanzhou at another table.

The servants came in one after another, bringing hot water and towels, and helping the masters to wipe their hands and rinse their mouths.

Usually it was He or Hai who served the old lady. Today, just as He was about to step forward, her eyes suddenly turned.

He smiled and said, "Today is the first time that our eldest grandson's wife has entered the mansion. It is her turn to serve the elders and show her filial piety."

Having said that, he sat down on the chair, clearly waiting for Shen Yue to serve him.

Su Qingyu sneered when she heard this. If Shen Yue served her grandmother, it was understandable. But what about He Shi? Was she worthy of it?

Shen Yue froze there for a moment, thinking of Su Qingyu and Su Yuanzhou's instructions. Countless arguments flashed through her mind, but she was not satisfied with any of them.

Su Qingyu didn't think too much about it, and went straight forward and said, "Let me do it. I haven't served Second Aunt yet, so I will serve her well today."

Having said that, he stepped forward and tried to take the cup of water and cotton towel from the maid.

There was a smile on his face, but it did not reach his eyes.

He quickly stood up and said, "I'm just talking. I'm used to doing these things. I'll serve my mother."

Then, without waiting for Su Qingyu to come forward, he went to serve the old lady.

She would let Su Qingyu serve her unless she was tired of living. She had no doubt that Su Qingyu would dare to splash the glass of water on her and then apologize by saying that her hand slipped.

If Su Qingyu knew what she was thinking, she would probably praise her second aunt for her intelligence.

Seeing that He understood, Su Qingyu raised her eyebrows with satisfaction and gave Shen Yue a comforting look.

The busiest person today was Hai, who was watching the maids serve the dishes. Suddenly, someone came up to her and whispered, "Madam San, Aunt Zeng's people are outside Songhe Hall, and they want to see the Marquis."

Hai frowned and asked, "Did the visitor say anything?"

The little maid whispered, "They said that the Sixth Young Master kept looking outside. He must be missing his father."

Hai glanced at Su Chengye who was talking to Su Yuanzhou, and became extremely angry with Aunt Zeng.

What kind of occasion is this today? Let her get involved.

"Go and tell her that the Marquis is not available at the moment and ask her to come back later to look for him."

It wasn't that she took the initiative to make the decision for Su Chengye, but in such a situation, she couldn't step forward and say, "A concubine invites the marquis over."

She was afraid that her new daughter-in-law would hear this and laugh at the Su family for being unruly.

Soon, these words reached Aunt Zeng's ears.

Aunt Zeng, who was teasing the child, bit her lower lip and said coldly, "It's the Third Madam again. I'm afraid she hasn't told the Marquis yet."

Of course, she knew that Su Yuanzhou was bringing his new wife back home today, and her purpose was not to invite Su Chengye back. She just thought that once someone reported it to her, Su Chengye would remember her and the child, and might send someone to bring the child over.

If this child wants to rely on his older brothers and sisters in the future, he needs more contact with them to develop feelings.

"Haye..."

After a moment, Aunt Zeng suddenly gave instructions to the maid Shuang'er.

"Change my clothes. I suspect the maidservant beside Madam San stole my Dongzhu headgear."

"I'm going to kneel down and beg the Marquis to make the decision for me."
