Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

"Master, aren't we going in? Madam asked Shanqing to find a house inside and outside the city. Don't you want to ask Madam what it's for? We are living well in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, why did Madam think of buying a house? Master, does Madam want to move out of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion? But the Marquis's wife and the Marquis are still alive. It's not good for your reputation, right?" Zhengyi had very good hearing and could hear the conversation between the two people inside.

However, it was just the gossip of a girl in the boudoir, and Zhengyi didn't take it to heart.

Zhengyi looked at his master's back in confusion. He could no longer remember how many times his master had stood outside the lady's yard.

What's more, he was puzzled as to why the master just stood there and didn't go in if he had something to ask the lady.

"Let's go, let Shanqing do what Madam says. Isn't there a manor that has just been sealed off on the outskirts of the city? Ask Shanqing to go to the government office and ask, it's a good manor." The man had an upright posture, dressed in dark clothes, like a towering mountain, with a handsome and cold face, and deep eyes that made it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

When the maids and servants around saw this master, they all avoided him, for fear of making him unhappy.

Zhengyi's knife would reach his neck unknowingly.

"Yes, Zhengyi obeys the order!"

By the time Su Xinqing's yard returned to calm, it was already nightfall.

Su Xinqing also learned from the maid that Chu Wei had been to the backyard, but did not come in. She guessed that Chu Mingzhu was there at that time, so the man did not come in.

I didn't take it to heart and fell asleep with a little excitement.

After all, we can enjoy the hot pot buffet prepared by Jiang Xinrou tomorrow, as well as ice jelly, milk tea, etc. Long queues started to form in the small shops one after another.

Although each type of food is not cheap, Su Xinqing is rich now and does not need to put herself in a difficult position.

I just hope it’s not too unpalatable. It’s ok to indulge once in a while.

With such hope in mind, Su Xinqing drooled when she slept at night.

Chu Wei had a cold face and kept frowning. He reached out and touched the corner of the woman's mouth again. Facing the faint moonlight, he saw the transparent water stains between his fingers.

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought. This hand had been smeared with blood, touched by a cold body, and had come into contact with bottles and jars of poison in the study room.

It's just saliva, and it's my first time touching it.

Chu Wei wiped it directly on the woman's pajamas with disgust. Just as he was about to leave, he saw the woman turning over.

It was just that the pajamas didn't fit well, and the movement of them flipping around made Chu Wei blush.

He never knew that the skinny little girl had grown up and become his wife.

I'm actually still being remembered by others.

Not knowing what he was thinking about, the man walked out of the room coldly.

The next day.

The three of them were sitting in a private room in the new restaurant at Duke Jiang's mansion.

Except for Su Xinqing, the other two were looking at the scene outside the private room curiously.

There were several familiar young ladies from official families who were curiously looking at the food displayed in the hall. All kinds of meat were neatly arranged and handled cleanly.

The fruits and vegetables are all fresh, including grapes, watermelons, peaches, lychees, cherries, citrus fruits, etc.

Even Chu Mingzhu's eyes sparkled when she saw it: "Third sister-in-law, the two silver coins we spent were not wasted. The lychees sent from Jiangnan are also a lot of money."

"So expensive? Cousin, which one is the most expensive? I'll go eat more later. That's two silver coins for food. When I was a kid in the countryside, it was my eldest brother's annual expenses." Song Hejing's face was full of pain, and she continued to say regretfully: "If I had known that you were going to spend so much money, I wouldn't have come. You give me the money, and I can buy some clothes. When I wear them out, I can say that you gave them to me, cousin. Isn't it better!"

"cousin……"

"Hey, where did you get this poor fellow from? If you can't afford to eat, don't come upstairs and embarrass yourself. Xue'er, how come so many people think that they can really become the mistress of a wealthy family by marrying into a rich family? They bring their cousins ​​here to eat and drink as much as they want. In the next few months, won't they be so poor that they can't even leave the house and have to rely on their uncle's small teahouse to survive? That's right, Xue'er, later on, let your maids and old women go there more often to drink tea and listen to music, and also take care of their business so that they don't have to make ends meet. Wouldn't it be the people in Yong'an, the Earl's Mansion, and the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion who are embarrassed? If people don't know, they might think that my cousin is withholding some people's monthly allowance!"

The lilac-colored dress makes the little girl look as delicate as a flower.

However, the words that came out were quite contrary to the delicate face.

The person who came was Shen Yue, Shen Ruyan's cousin whom she had met once before. The girl in gorgeous clothes beside her was also an old acquaintance of Su Xinqing, Li Xue.

"Shen Yue, why are you here too? Humph, if we knew you were here, my third sister-in-law and I wouldn't come in. It's so unlucky. Third sister-in-law, He Jing, let's go to another place. It's affecting our appetite." Chu Mingzhu's face turned bad when she saw the two of them. Shen Yue and she had been at odds since childhood.

If it weren't for the fact that the eldest brother insisted on liking the eldest sister-in-law, she would definitely make a fuss.

Today, they laughed at my third sister-in-law and Song Hejing in front of me again. Isn't they trying to make things difficult for me?

"Chu Mingzhu, are you a pig? I'm talking about that woman and this wild girl from the country. What does it have to do with you? Why do you run out? Humph, I haven't seen you for many days. It turns out that you are just as the legend says, liking to deal with bastards and degenerate. Li Xue, let's go!" Shen Yue didn't expect that Chu Mingzhu would come out to pick a fight with her just because she said a few words to those lowly people.

And looking at Chu Mingzhu's aggressive look, it seemed as if she was going to fight him to the death.

She felt that the loss outweighed the gain and it was boring. Over the years, she had come to know what really made Chu Mingzhu angry and what made her angry. She couldn't really offend her.

Therefore, she would be content every time she tasted the sweetness, because the other party had a good family background.

To be honest, Chu Mingzhu was much older than herself, but she was just from a wealthy family that had fallen on hard times. After her aunt married her cousin to her, she regretted it very much.

Now, the one looking at the scenery of the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion is the eldest son of Minister Liu. Although he is a concubine's son, he won the third place in the imperial examination this year.

Liu Yulian married the Sixth Prince and was also a popular family in the capital.

It's nothing like the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Despite having a title, Chu Yu is still useless now and can only wait for his family's protection to enter the officialdom.

He is also a person who has been idle all his life. Not to mention the arrogant aunt, even Shen Yue herself looks down on such a person.

However, my cousin has already married, so there is no other way.
