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

Su Zhilan took it and looked at it over and over again suspiciously. It was indeed the badge of Guanju Palace.

Since it is the Empress Chen who summoned me, Fourth Sister must go.

Su Zhilan said, "I will go with Fourth Sister, and pay my respects to Empress Chen."

After she said that, the palace maid who delivered the message did not dare to say anything and led the two to the room where Concubine Chen was resting.

When I entered, Jiang Ziyan, who was more than seven months pregnant, was sitting in the main seat.

Su Shunci and Su Zhilan bowed and said in unison: "Greetings to the Empress Chen."

Jiang Ziyan didn't expect Su Zhilan to come along too. She looked up and glared at the palace maid who delivered the message, wondering how could she not handle such a small matter.

Then he smiled and said, "Hurry up, we are all family, there is no need for such a big gift."

After the two stood up, Jiang Ziyan said again: "Hurry up and sit down. You don't have to feel restrained here."

Su Shunci and Su Zhilan sat down politely, their manners and demeanor were extremely appropriate.

Jiang Ziyan looked at Su Zhilan first, "The Princess of Anping County hasn't been to the palace for a while. It would be better if she could go to my Guanju Palace more often."

She knew in her heart that there was a big age gap between her and the emperor. It was possible that after the emperor passed away, they would be left alone and widowed, and would have to make a living under the eyes of the prince and the Princess of Anping.

If Bai Youxin hadn't given her so much, she wouldn't have wanted to get involved in this mess.

Su Zhilan bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I wonder what you want my fourth sister to do for you?"

She didn't like to listen to those beating around the bush, and was afraid that Jiang Ziyan would beat around the bush and still not get to the point, so she just asked directly.

Jiang Ziyan kept smiling as she looked at Su Shunci and said, "Last time at Prince Ning's Mansion, I still haven't thanked the Fourth Miss for taking care of me."

Su Shunci said that if she knew that Jiang Ziyan went to Prince Ning's mansion to get into bed, she should have kicked her out at that time.

But she remained calm and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is what I should do."

Jiang Ziyan added: "I heard that Miss Bai Youxin of the Bai family did something very wrong a few days ago, which made the fourth lady and the third young master of the Lin family very angry."

"Come to think of it, Bai Youxin is my distant cousin. This is really like a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. It's actually a family quarrel."

Su Shunci then suddenly realized that Jiang Ziyan called her over to plead for Bai Youxin.

She thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Fortunately, she and the queen are only distant relatives, and this incident will not affect the queen's reputation. Otherwise, people would think that she dared to do such a thing because of the queen's power."

"Don't worry, your majesty. I won't go out and tell anyone."

Jiang Ziyan's expression faltered. Was Su Shunci giving her a cold shoulder? Why was there a hint of threat in her words?

Because Su Zhilan was there, she didn't show any displeasure to Su Shunci.

Pretending not to understand what Su Shunci meant, he continued, "Since we are all family, I think it would be better for me to be a peacemaker in the middle."

"You should also talk to Third Young Master Lin and ask him to show mercy to the man who has done something wrong."

Jiang Ziyan thought to herself, she was being frank and she didn't believe Su Shunci could refuse.

Su Shunci looked innocent, "Did your Majesty misunderstand? We didn't do anything to the Bai family. We were just doing business as usual."

"My humble servant and Master Lin San are both serious businessmen. Even if Master Lin San knew what Miss Bai had done, he was just angry on his own and didn't even touch Miss Bai's finger. How can you say that you are too kind, Empress Chen, please spare her?"

Seeing that she was still pretending to be confused, Jiang Ziyan felt unhappy. She thought that she was just a concubine of the Su family, yet she dared to act stupid with her.

What she didn't know was that Su Shunci was also in a dilemma. She certainly didn't want to offend the Empress Chen, because everyone knew that she was in the emperor's favor.

But she couldn't agree to anything. They and Bai Youxin were already at the point of life and death. Sparing Bai Youxin would be like giving the Bai family a chance to breathe.

Whenever Bai Youxin gets the chance in the future, she will put the Lin family to death.

She would not do such a thing as raising a tiger to cause trouble.

Su Zhilan knew what Bai Youxin had done, so she felt a little unhappy when she heard what Concubine Chen said.

Didn't the Concubine Chen call the fourth sister here just to use her power to suppress the matter?

Su Zhilan saw that Su Shunci was in a dilemma, and after a little thought, she said, "Everyone in the palace says that the Empress Chen is kind-hearted, and it's true."

"But I still want to advise Your Majesty not to be deceived by the Bai family. Your Majesty has good intentions, but if word gets out, people will think that Your Majesty has accepted some benefits from the Bai family and is willing to interfere in such a matter."

Su Zhilan's tone of voice was always calm and gentle, and her eyes were calm and peaceful.

When these words came out of her mouth, everyone felt that they were sincere, as if she was really doing it for Jiang Ziyan's good.

But how could Jiang Ziyan not understand the meaning of her words? She laughed awkwardly and said, "The Princess of Anping County said that I was deceived. What do you mean?"

Su Zhilan continued, "The Lin family is the imperial merchant. All the prefectures and cities in the Great Zhou were led by the Lin family in providing disaster relief. My eldest aunt is the daughter of the Lin family, and was even given a plaque with the words 'Benevolent Merchant'. The Lin family also contributed a lot of money to the new warships built by the Fujian Navy, and was praised by the emperor."

Jiang Ziyan was confused, "What does this have to do with Bai Youxin?"

Su Zhilan smiled faintly, "How can it be okay? She knew that the Lin family was not an ordinary merchant family, but she still used despicable means to plan her marriage with the Third Young Master Lin."

"This matter has not been reported to the emperor. If it had been reported to the emperor, he would have scolded the Bai family for their dirty tricks."

"Besides, Bai Youxin could do such a thing, which shows that she has no bottom line and a despicable character. If the Empress Chen intercedes for such a person, she is not afraid of being bitten back and ruining her reputation."

Su Zhilan knew that no matter what it was, as long as it was related to imperial power, it would be a huge event.

So she went through many twists and turns and brought the matter to the emperor.

Sure enough, Jiang Ziyan's expression changed again and again. Then she said, "After hearing what Princess Anping said, I was almost deceived by her."

Su Zhilan and Su Shunci stood up with satisfaction and left the room.

After the two of them left, Aunt Wan beside Jiang Ziyan said, "My Lady, none of the sisters in the Su family are good people."

"How should we explain this to the Bai family?"

Jiang Ziyan snorted, "Explanation? What do I want to explain to the Bai family?"

Aunt Wan said hurriedly, "Yes, I said the wrong thing. It's just that the Marquis' Mansion is still waiting for the Bai family's money. They said that the money owed by the Second Young Master can't be delayed any longer."

"That casino belongs to the Zhao family of Weiguo Mansion. The Zhao family has already given a deadline."

Although Jiang Ziyan was favored, the Jiang family's status among the aristocratic families in Beijing also rose rapidly.

However, those noble families that established their clans through military merit did not take the Jiang family seriously.

As luck would have it, Second Young Master Jiang owed money to the Zhao family. The Zhao family would not indulge him, and would not refuse the money just because of Empress Chen.

The Zhao family was chasing them anxiously, and Bai Youxin came to their house and offered 70% of their family property in exchange for the Lin family to stop. The Bai family was tempted.

Thinking of that good-for-nothing younger brother, Jiang Ziyan felt depressed again.

Then he said, "Send a message to Bai Youxin and ask her to bring the silver first."

Aunt Wan asked in confusion, "Madam, do you mean to talk to the Lin family again?"

Jiang Ziyan said coldly: "There is nothing to say, bring the silver first. As for whether the Lin family will stop, that is also the fate of the Bai family."

Aunt Wan understood that the queen wanted to collect the money without doing anything.
