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

Except for the young children who didn't understand what was going on, everyone else in the room stood up in surprise.

Su Qingyu came out from the inner room and asked in a deep voice, "How many people are there? Are they at the main entrance?"

After she finished speaking, she ordered, "Pass my message on. All the maids and servants serving in the outer courtyard should come to the inner courtyard and find a place to hide."

"All the guards and servants in the palace are to obey Jiang Qi's orders."

The old lady also came back to her senses and looked at Su Qingyu, "What happened?"

She saw from Su Qingyu's expression that she was prepared.

The old lady suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Su Qingyu had called all the family members to Qingyuan Residence. It was obvious that she was afraid that something might happen and she would not be able to take care of them, so she gathered everyone together.

There were also a few people from Prince Ning's Mansion, who I think were also specially brought here by Shen Zhixiu.

Su Qingyu explained: "Don't panic, mother. I don't know exactly what happened. But our family has made preparations in advance. You two mothers can just stay in Qingyuanju with peace of mind."

Lin Wanyin recalled the scene on the day she gave birth, and suddenly blurted out, "Is one of the princes planning a coup?"

Su Qingyu nodded, "It should be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

When they heard that there was a palace coup, everyone in the room changed their expressions.

A palace coup is a major event that can turn the capital upside down and also turn the Shen family upside down.

Today they can sit here and drink tea and chat, but tomorrow they may become prisoners or even lose their lives.

Xiang Dong glanced at the two children of the first wife, Shen Xi and Shen Cheng. Although she was panicking, she forced herself to calm down. If someone really broke in, she would have to protect the two children of the first wife at all costs. Even if it was the last moment, she would give Shen Zhiheng an explanation.

Yang hugged her two children tightly, her hands as cold as ice.

Su Qingyu planned to go to Jiang Qi to ask about the situation, so she said, "My two mothers and sisters-in-law, stay in Qingyuan Residence and don't go out. I will go to Jiang Qi to ask what's going on."

Su Shunci immediately said, "My elder sister is pregnant, so I'll go."

The old lady and Lin Wanyin also said that Su Qingyu should not be allowed to go out, but they were also worried about letting Su Shunci go.

Xiang Dong put the two children next to the old lady, then stood up and said, "I'll go. If there's anything, I'll come back and discuss it with the Third Madam."

When everyone was in a stalemate, Han Cui came in and reported, "Madam, Jiang Qi wants to see you."

Su Qingyu immediately walked out after hearing this. Before leaving, she turned around and said in a deep voice, "The Third Master has handed the family over to me, so I will definitely protect the Shen family."

After that, he instructed Second Madam Yang, "Second sister-in-law, leave this room, old and young, to Second sister-in-law."

"It's not that I have to show off my ability, but Third Master often talks to me about the affairs of the court. So I can make a judgment on what's going on outside. If Madam Xiang or Second Sister-in-law went, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to make up their minds about many things."

Seeing that the old lady and Lin Wanyin were still worried and disapproving.

Su Qingyu asked again: "Mother, if the family cannot be saved, can the child still be safe?"

The old lady moved the corners of her lips, wanting to say something but not saying it.

Lin Wanyin said, "Qingyu, after all, mother has experienced a palace coup. If mother goes with you, she will have someone to take care of her."

There was something else she didn't say, after all, she was younger than the old lady of the Shen family.

Su Qingyu shook her head, pulled Lin Wanyin aside, and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Mother, you are a guest in the Shen family. If you run around and work hard, I'm afraid the Third Master will feel bad."

"There are many people in this house, old and young. I'm afraid my two sisters-in-law are not as calm and composed as mother. I will entrust this whole family to mother."

Lin Wanyin also knew what Su Qingyu was talking about, so she could only nod.

He also told Su Qingyu, "Just arrange for the guards in the mansion, and don't put yourself in danger. Even if you don't consider yourself, you have to consider the baby in your belly."

Su Qingyu repeatedly assured that she would never let anything happen to the child.

After that, he turned around and left Qingyuanju, and heard Su Shunci say from behind: "Big sister, I'll go with you."

Then came the voice of the Third Young Master Shen Xi, "Aunt San, I am already sixteen years old and can go with you to take care of the affairs of the mansion."

Su Qingyu turned around and looked at the two of them, then said, "You two come with me."

Shen Yue also wanted to go, but was rejected by Su Qingyu. Shen Yue had been raised in the inner house since she was a child, and she was afraid that she would not be as calm as Su Shunci in the face of such a thing.

Afterwards, Su Qingyu walked to the side hall of Qingyuanju, where Jiang Qi was already waiting.

Seeing Su Qingyu coming in, Jiang Qi wanted to step forward and salute.

"No need to be so polite, just get down to business." Su Qingyu said in a deep voice.

Jiang Qi reported, "Madam, there are almost two thousand elite soldiers surrounding our mansion now. Their purpose is very clear, they want to rush in."

"Before this, I have been paying attention to the situation in the city. Now the four gates of the capital have been occupied by Rong Junwang's people. I guess that the people surrounding the Shen family may also be Rong Junwang's people."

Su Qingyu was not surprised that the Rong family got involved. She hesitated for a moment and said, "According to your estimate, how long can we hold out?"

The Shen family had no more than 200 guards, and with the young and strong servants, there were no more than 300 people. It would be difficult to resist the attack of 2,000 people.

Fortunately, the Shen family's house, Prince Zhao's mansion, and the residence of Lord Zhou, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, are in the shape of a Chinese character "品".

If the enemy wanted to attack the Shen family, they could only attack through the main gate and the corner gate facing Zhuque Street.

Jiang Qi calculated in his mind and said, "If the other party is Prince Rong's men, they are all elite soldiers and strong generals. I estimate that they can only hold out for an hour at most."

Su Qingyu remembered what Shen Zhixiu said before he left, and said, "Tell the brothers below that reinforcements will arrive in less than an hour."

"After this matter is over, the Third Master will reward you according to your merits."

"Everyone from the Shen family and Prince Ning's Mansion is here. There are all the old and young in Qingyuan Residence. Jiang Qi, we can't make any mistakes today."

Su Qingyu deliberately emphasized the tone of the latter sentence.

Jiang Qi knelt on one knee and said, "Madam, don't worry. The brothers in the mansion are all sworn to be loyal to the Third Master and the Shen family until death."

"As long as I am still alive today, I will never let anyone enter the mansion."

Su Qingyu motioned for Jiang Qi to stand up, and then said, "Let's go to the outer courtyard now. I will be in charge of the hall of the outer courtyard. Report anything to me."

Jiang Qi immediately stopped Su Qingyu and said, "Madam, you can't do that. I will definitely bring people to guard the door. Madam, you should stay in Qingyuan Residence with the old lady and the other ladies. That way, you will have someone to take care of you."
