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

The meal in the flower hall of Songhe Hall was a joyful one.

On the left of Shen Yue was the third wife, Mrs. Hai, and on the right was Su Qingyu. Both of them took good care of her, which made Shen Yue feel relaxed.

At the men's table outside the screen, Su Yuanzhou was toasting his elders with water instead of wine. Shen Yue was in mourning, so he didn't drink today.

Su Chengye looked at his son, his heart filled with pride.

His Royal Highness Prince Ning, the world-famous God of War, is his biological son.

Even though his son has been returning to his ancestral home for some time, Su Chengye still wakes up laughing in his dreams from time to time.

While the father and son were talking, a little maid came in hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, Aunt Zeng is kneeling outside, begging you to make the decision for her."

After the little maid finished saying this, the entire flower hall of Songhe Hall suddenly became quiet for a moment.

Su Qingyu suddenly stopped picking up the food. If she remembered correctly, Aunt Zeng had only given birth half a month ago?

What's going on? Are you causing trouble on such a happy occasion?

Hai's heart sank as she remembered that Aunt Zeng had just sent someone to invite Su Chengye. Was she here to complain?

Su Chengye, who was talking excitedly with his son, was also confused. He looked at the little maid, "Aunt Zeng? What is she doing here?"

At this time, there was no reason for the concubine to come out. No matter how big the matter was, he should wait until he sent his son and daughter-in-law away before he could talk about it.

"Aunt Zeng said...said..."

The little maidservant stammered and glanced behind the screen from time to time.

Su Chengye put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and the wine splashed on the back of his hand.

"What did she say? Tell the truth."

The little maidservant made up her mind and bowed, saying, "Mrs. Zeng said that she lost a set of pearl head ornaments. She suspected... suspected that it was taken by Jinsong, the maidservant beside the Third Madam."

"Mrs. Zeng also said that she didn't dare to offend the Third Madam and could only ask the Marquis to make the decision for her."

The maid's words made Su Chengxun's face darken. What was this? Humiliating his wife in public?

Hai in the inner room also had a stern expression.

The maid Jinsong beside her looked pale and shook her head anxiously at Hai.

Jinsong followed Hai from Suzhou to the capital. Hai knew her character best and knew that she would never do such a thing.

Hai gave Jinsong a comforting look, and then said in a cold voice: "Since Aunt Zeng wants to kneel, let her kneel first. After all, the whole family has to eat, then we can deal with her affairs."

She was also angry. She neither discussed it with the old lady nor asked the masters outside.

Su Chengye looked outside. It was noon and the sun was at its hottest.

He wanted to speak, after all, Aunt Zeng had just given birth and was still in confinement, so it was inappropriate for her to kneel like this.

But before he could open his mouth, Su Yuanzhou picked up a piece of food for him with chopsticks. He said, "Father, try this. I think it tastes better than what the chef in the palace cooks."

To Su Chengye, eight illegitimate sons were not as good as one Su Yuanzhou. So even though he felt a little sorry for Aunt Zeng, he said nothing and lowered his head to eat the food that Su Yuanzhou picked for him.

At the dining table in the inner room, Hai and Su Qingyu continued to eat calmly. Seeing this, Shen Yue also lowered her head to drink her soup. The old lady was also angry that Aunt Zeng didn't know the rules, so she let Hai do whatever she wanted.

Second Madam He wanted to speak, but after looking at the expressions of the others, she thought it had nothing to do with her and was content to just eat and watch the fun from the side.

The meal took another quarter of an hour, and Aunt Zeng knelt outside for another quarter of an hour.

After everyone had finished their meal, Hai ordered her servants to clean up the flower hall. She led everyone to a side hall, and then asked someone to invite Aunt Zeng in.

When Aunt Zeng came in, everyone had already sat down according to age and started drinking tea.

This scene doesn't seem like Aunt Zeng making a complaint, but more like an interrogation of Aunt Zeng.

Su Chengye spoke first, his tone somewhat impatient.

"On such a happy day, why are you making a fuss?"

Aunt Zeng knelt on the ground as soon as she entered the room, her almond-shaped eyes red from crying. She thought that Su Chengye would pity her, but she didn't expect to be questioned with disgust.

In addition, he had been kneeling for a long time, and all the grievances in his heart piled up, and his crying was even more sincere.

If there was anyone in this hall who wanted to see Hai get into trouble, it would be Second Madam He.

So He said at the right time, "Let's ask what happened first. It seems to me that Aunt Zeng has suffered a great injustice and she doesn't seem to be making trouble."

Upon hearing this, the old lady asked Aunt Zeng, "What happened? Who stole what from you? I'm still confused."

"There has never been any theft in our mansion. Did you forget about putting the things away?"

Today was the first time that the granddaughter-in-law came to visit and she caused such a thing. The old lady felt ashamed.

If you don’t know, you would think the Su family’s inner house is very messy.

Aunt Zeng took two deep breaths, then took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"If you lose someone else, I will accept it and will never dare to disturb you."

"The lost pearl headdress was meant to be given to Princess Ning."

Having said this, Aunt Zeng looked at Hai again.

"The other day, because of this headdress, I was humiliated by the Third Madam. Now the Third Madam's maid has stolen this headdress. You, master and servant, are going too far."

"My Lord, I have no other options left, so I come to ask you and the old lady to help me."

Su Chengye was confused. "What happened the day before yesterday? Please explain clearly."

When asking the question, he subconsciously looked at the third wife, Mrs. Hai.

Hai's face was gloomy, and she looked at Aunt Zeng with obvious anger. She thought that Aunt Zeng had given birth to a son, and she couldn't put herself in the right position.

Su Qingyu, who was sitting next to Hai, also looked at Aunt Zeng sarcastically.

Isn't this just because you have had too many good days and are bringing disaster upon yourself?

At this moment, Aunt Zeng heard Su Chengye's question and continued.

"I thought that Prince Ning was the Sixth Young Master's biological brother after all, so I prepared a set of pearl headwear in advance and wanted to give it to Princess Ning."

"I was still in confinement after giving birth, so I asked Third Madam to help me pass it on in a nice way. I didn't expect that Third Madam would not only refuse me, but also insult my background in her words."

"That would be fine, but this morning Jinsong came to give me something, and as soon as she left, the pearl headdress disappeared."

"Jin Song was with the Third Madam the other day and also saw that set of pearl headwear. If it wasn't her, who else could it be?"

Aunt Zeng's words sounded aggrieved. In her words, Hai looked down on concubines and was not good at disciplining servants.

Su Chengye looked at Hai after hearing this and said, "Sister-in-law, what do you think about this..."

Hai did not explain what happened the day before, but turned to look at Jinsong, "Did you take Aunt Zeng's things?"

She asked the question in a casual tone, and didn't give Jinsong a look. This question seemed more like she wanted to shut Aunt Zeng up, so she had to ask it.

Jinsong was the head maidservant beside Hai, and she looked down on the concubines in the mansion from the bottom of her heart.

Hearing this, she walked to the middle of the hall with a stubborn look on her face, knelt on the ground and said, "Old Madam, Marquis, all the masters and ladies, please be clear. This morning, I received the order from the Third Madam to deliver supplements to Aunt Zeng."

"But after putting down the supplements, I left. Aunt Zeng has so many servants around her, even if I had three heads and six arms, I couldn't steal anything."

"Besides, the Third Madam has been very kind to me. I will never do anything that would embarrass her."
