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

When Su Qingyu said this, she unconsciously took a few steps forward, while Su Chengye subconsciously stepped back.

Finally, he leaned against the pillar under the corridor, staring blankly at the blue bricks on the ground.

Su Qingyu's words struck Su Chengye's heart word by word, especially the last question. He asked himself, is he qualified to be the head of the Su family?

He didn't dare to think about it. If he went to reunite with his father one day and his father asked him the same question, how would he answer?

Su Chengye leaned dejectedly against the pillar, then slid down little by little and squatted on the ground.

From the time when the old man passed away to now, everything that happened in the mansion flashed through his mind. Thinking of his mother who was in an uncertain state of life or death in the house, Su Chengye felt exhausted both physically and mentally.

He was powerless to change it. He was just like that, and his ability was limited. Even if he could go back to the time when the old man died, he would not be able to change the current situation.

Su Chengxun saw Mr. Zhou off and came over.

He leaned over and patted Su Chengye on the shoulder, "Brother, Qingyu didn't mean that..."

He couldn't say anything else to comfort her. To be fair, Su Qingyu was not wrong at all.

What happened today cannot be blamed on her.

But he is his elder brother after all, and Su Chengxun feels uncomfortable seeing him like this.

Su Qingyu frowned. Based on her understanding of this father, shouldn't he continue to scold her for being unfilial and talking back to her father?

She walked closer to Su Yuanzhou and whispered, "Did I say it too harshly?"

Although she asked this, Su Qingyu did not regret it. Even if he was her biological father, he could not slander her at will. Besides, she and Su Chengye really had no feelings for each other.

Su Yuanzhou shook his head, not thinking there was anything wrong with what his sister said. He knew his father a little bit, and it was useless to talk too much.

It took a long time before Su Chengye stood up.

Just then, the servant brought the stretcher over, and Su Chengye said, "Let's send mother back to Songhe Hall first."

In this way, the old lady was carried back to Songhe Hall.

Old Doctor Xu took Mr. Zhou's prescription, prepared the medicine, and personally watched his apprentice boil the medicine in the small kitchen of Songhe Hall.

Hai stood by the bed, wiped the old lady's face, and planned to stay and serve her.

So many things happened in the first wife's house, and the second wife had left Beijing, so Hai was prepared to serve the old lady forever.

Although she has always had a grudge against the old lady, as a daughter-in-law, she will fulfill her filial duties.

After a while, the medicine was ready and brought in.

The old lady showed no signs of waking up, so the medicine could only be fed to her little by little using a small spoon.

Just as Hai was about to take the medicine bowl, Su Chengye was one step ahead of her and took it.

"I'll take care of mother here. You all can go back and have some rest. I'll send someone to tell you if there's anything." Su Chengye said in a firm tone.

Su Chengxun and Hai were stunned, while Su Yuanzhou and Su Qingyu looked at Su Chengye in confusion.

While speaking, Su Chengye had already started stirring the medicine in the bowl.

Hai said, "Brother, go back and have a rest. I will stay here to serve mother. Brother still has official duties to attend to, so it will be more convenient for me to serve Master here."

Su Chengye touched the medicine bowl and felt it was still a little hot, so he placed it on the square table beside him.

Then he said to Su Chengxun with a serious face: "I will write a memorial to resign from my post tonight. From now on, please take care of the affairs of the court. As for the trivial matters in the mansion, I will trouble you, my third brother and his wife."

Su Chengxun was surprised for a moment, then said: "Brother, don't be impulsive..."

Before he could finish, Su Chengye raised his hand to stop him.

"I didn't act on impulse. This was a well-thought-out decision. My mother can't leave without someone, and my third brother's wife is busy all day long. How can I let her stay by my side day and night?"

"My position is also a sinecure, so I might as well come back and fulfill my filial duties."

After experiencing the betrayal of Aunt Zeng and watching his mother suffer from an illness, Su Qingyu's words dealt him another heavy blow when he was filled with shock and anger.

Su Chengye suddenly seemed to have aged ten years, and all the things in the past seemed like a passing cloud. Now he just wanted to serve his old mother well and fulfill his filial duty as a son.

Hai wanted to say something else, but Su Chengye turned around with the medicine bowl and sat beside the bed to feed her the medicine.

He moved slowly and there was no impatience on his face.

Su Chengxun sighed in his heart, but also respected his elder brother's decision.

He looked at Su Yuanzhou and Su Qingyu again and said, "You should go back first. If you miss me, come back in two days."

Then he asked Su Yuanzhou, "What should we do with Aunt Zeng and that Taoist priest?"

Su Yuanzhou said: "Don't worry about it, Third Uncle. I will take care of it."

Su Chengxun nodded, "That's fine."

He really didn't have the energy to deal with the concubine and the adulterer of the first wife. It would be best if Su Yuanzhou could deal with them.

Afterwards, Su Yuanzhou and Su Qingyu bid farewell to their elders and went to the place where Aunt Zeng and Taoist Yuan were imprisoned.

Taoist Yuan was locked up in a room alone, and Jiang Qi led people to guard him in secret.

Su Yuanzhou went in and sat down at the table. Taoist Yuan sat opposite him, tied to the chair.

"Who is Zhang Tianshi to you?" Su Yuanzhou asked.

Taoist Yuan was stunned. The old lady of the Su family was so angry that she fainted. Shouldn't he come to settle the score with him? Why was he asking his senior brother?

He didn't know what Su Yuanzhou meant, so he answered cautiously: "It's my senior brother."

Su Yuanzhou asked again, "Where is he now? Didn't you go to his house today? Did you find him?"

Taoist Yuan shook his head, "No, my senior brother is not in the mansion." He looked at Su Yuanzhou's expression and said, "The Taoist boy in the mansion said that my senior brother must have found out that someone was looking for him, so he hid himself. But no one knows where he is. I just got out of the cell, so I don't know either."

Su Yuanzhou did not doubt what he said. He was a coward and would not put himself in danger for a senior brother.

He added: "I will not kill you, and I will let you take the child with you. If you help me find your brother, I can also help you redeem Aunt Zeng and reunite your family of three."

Taoist Yuan felt as if he had been pardoned, so there was no reason for him to refuse.

Afterwards, Su Yuanzhou ordered his men to beat Taoist Yuan with thirty sticks and told him to leave the house with his children. As for Aunt Zeng, she was sold out to do hard labor.

After finishing these things, Su Yuanzhou took Su Qingyu out of the house.

When the two were about to get in the car, Su Yuanzhou said, "You go back to the palace tomorrow. Your uncle will leave Beijing the day after tomorrow morning."

Su Qingyu stopped and said, "Is it so urgent? I remember he said a few days ago that it wouldn't hurt to stay a little longer."

Su Yuanzhou said: "It seems that something happened in Yunzhou Prefecture, and he suddenly decided to leave."

Su Qingyu nodded and agreed, "Then I will go back tomorrow to see my uncle off and give him some local products to take back to Yunzhou."

At this time, Lin Wanli was still in Lin's Trading Company, preparing to go out.

Lin Wuchen was checking the accounts. Seeing his father was about to go out, he asked, "It's getting late. Where are you going, father?"

Lin Wanli adjusted his collar in front of the bronze mirror and said with a smile, "I am about to leave Beijing. Before I leave, I have to ask your aunt and Aunt Lian if they are willing to marry into the Lin family. If they are willing, I will ask Ziyu to come to Beijing."

He watched from the sidelines during this period and felt more and more that the Lin family's marriage to Su Shunci was a match made in heaven and could not be more perfect.

Lin Wuchen stopped what he was doing and suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"Father can't go."

"This marriage is not appropriate."
