Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First
Chapter 22: The Man with the Extraneous Branch
The man was over eight feet tall, with a posture as straight as a pine tree. His flying fish suit was embroidered with delicate flying fish patterns, which added a bit of mystery and majesty.
This attire is not only a symbol of his identity, but also a symbol of his adherence to his oath. No matter wind, rain, thunder or lightning, no matter life or death, honor or disgrace, he will be loyal to the court and the people.
His face was strong and profound, and his eyes were as bright as stars.
It seemed that his desolate and remote courtyard was also brightened up by the arrival of this man!
At this moment, Su Xinqing seemed to realize that something was wrong: "You... who are you? Ah..."
Yes, in this era, facing a strange man breaking into her yard, this is the effect she wants. However, her yard is only one acre and three mu, and she really has no place to hide.
As luck would have it, the direction she fled was exactly where the thieves were hiding.
"Ah..." This time, Su Xinqing was frightened from the bottom of her heart.
When the short man was about to be caught by the man, suddenly someone with great force grabbed his arm and threw him out again.
He staggered a few steps and almost lost Su Xinqing's life.
Finally, he managed to steady himself by holding onto the large water tank in the yard.
Then I saw a man in official uniform who subdued the thief in no time.
Even the sword at his waist did not move.
Watching the live version of the ancient martial arts film, Su Xinqing couldn't bear to blink.
However, the thief who was full of energy just now was beaten unconscious after a few rounds of beating.
The two arms were placed abnormally on both sides. If what she heard just now was correct, the two "cracking" sounds should have come from the thief's arms.
Su Xinqing: "..." Although the tall man in front of her looks good, but, just a few times...
She quickly lowered her head, squatted beside the water tank, hugged her head, and whispered: "I... I... who are you? This is the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion. I am a girl in the mansion. If you don't leave, I will call for help... Banyue, Banyue... help..."
Chu Wei looked back at the girl squatting on the ground, holding her head and shouting, with a faint sneer on his face.
He glanced at the yard, which could not be simpler, snorted coldly, picked up the prisoner in his hand again, and flew out of the yard briskly.
After a while, when Su Xinqing couldn't hear any sound, she slowly raised her head.
He returned to normal, went into his room, and prepared a new coming-of-age gift for Su Xinya.
Time flies, and the three years seem to be a flowing picture scroll, unfolding in front of Su Xinqing.
Compared to the rich life of others, watching the snow in winter, outing and boating on the lake in spring, avoiding the heat and coolness in summer, playing in a farm outside the capital for ten days or half a month, various festivals and banquets in autumn, people coming in and out of the gate of the Earl's Mansion, countless legitimate and illegitimate daughters in several courtyards, but there is no sign of Su Xinqing.
"Girl, how do you think of this crabapple hairpin? It was given to you by the old lady on New Year's Eve last year," Ban Yue said excitedly, "Girl, now that the eldest girl is back, can you lift the ban on her? After all, before the eldest girl left home, you had the best relationship with her."
Not to mention the girl, even Banyue has been feeling sorry for Su Xinqing in recent years.
However, she has little influence and no matter how many opinions she gives, they are useless.
"No need, let's just use the one just now. Only when I wear a golden hairpin can people see my face." Su Xinqing didn't want to cause too much trouble. After all, the protagonist today was not herself, but Su Xinya who had returned from Xiangguo Temple to recuperate.
You know, today is a famous occasion, how could she not be there?
There is no need for me to create unnecessary trouble. You know, something big happened on the day of Su Xinya's coming-of-age ceremony.
Unfortunately, she was not there. Her father's aunt was caught having an affair with a man outside the family in the garden. It was not a big deal at first, but the main reason for the incident was that the aunt said she was pregnant. She thought she was pregnant, but the mansion said she was not and sent her medicine for colds.
Of course the aunt refused to drink it, so she spent money to hire a doctor from outside the house to secretly take her pulse.
As a result, the foreign man was recognized and found to be a doctor from the city. It turned out that my aunt was really pregnant and had been pregnant for more than three months.
Naturally, my aunt gave birth to my father, the youngest son, who was also the youngest master in the entire Earl's Mansion, the Ninth Young Master Su Wenyan.
It has always been Su Xinqing's regret that she didn't see Li's angry look.
"Okay, let's go. You know everything I told you, right?"
"I understand, young lady. Don't worry about me doing my job."
By the time Su Xinqing arrived at the front yard, the second and third wives, as well as the concubines, concubines, and sons of the first wife, were already waiting at the door.
No one reacted much to Su Xinqing's appearance.
Each of them was still discussing their own topic.
"Sister-in-law, have you heard which of the three dukes' mansions my eldest sister-in-law is going to marry Ya'er to? I heard that the eldest young master of Duke Zhang's mansion has admired our Ya'er for several years, but he hasn't married yet? He doesn't have a concubine or a maid. The eldest young master of Duke Zhang's mansion is also handsome and elegant. He is really a rare son-in-law in the capital. I don't know what my eldest sister-in-law is thinking. Such a good marriage has not been decided yet. Are you planning to marry Ya'er to the royal family? But several suitable princes have already married their principal wives. Do you still want Ya'er to be a concubine? How can a girl from our Su family be a concubine?" Wei was wearing a water blue embroidered dress with straight sleeves, a cross collar and a right lapel with gold treasures, and a dark green Spring and Autumn period embroidered Ruyi Cloud Eight Treasures satin skirt.
A pair of emerald green bracelets are faintly visible on the wrists.
He said he was talking to the second wife, Mrs. Liu, but he didn't give Mrs. Liu any time to speak.
Wei was the only one talking throughout the whole process, while Liu was just smiling apologetically beside her.
Su Xinru, who was standing behind the two of them, was even more arrogant like a peacock. No matter who spoke to her, she acted as if she didn't want to talk to anyone.
"Third sister-in-law, be careful with your words. Ya'er's marriage is decided by my mother-in-law and husband. It is not something I can decide alone. Especially if my mother-in-law hears what you said, she will be unhappy."
Being lectured by Li in front of so many young people, Wei didn't think twice and directly retorted: "Sister-in-law, the reason why mother-in-law went to Xiangguo Temple to practice is because someone committed too many sins of killing. Of course, the old lady likes to have many children and grandchildren. Sister-in-law, if you don't want to have children, it's fine, but why do you stop my brother from letting the concubines have children for the Su family!"
For a moment, the atmosphere at the gate of the Su family fell into silence.
Seeing the other party's reckless attitude, Li didn't want to argue with him any more, so he asked someone to open the door and wait for the arrival of the Earl's carriage.
The mistress of the house said nothing, and no one else dared to say a word.
Wei, having just gotten the upper hand, did not push for more. After all, today was an important day, and if she brought bad luck to the Su family, her mother-in-law would not let her go.
And what my husband said last night.
