Chapter 151: So what if he has a concubine?
The little beggars scattered in a hurry.
But they just dispersed and went to sing somewhere else.
Madam Su was carried back to the mansion.
"What on earth is going on?" The old lady angrily threw the teacup. "The palace banquet is about to start, how could it turn out like this?"
Su Huaishan took over the conversation: "I asked around, and they said that there was someone in the Jiaofang Bureau who had a bad relationship with the maid. When he knew she was dead, he spent some money to find someone in the government office to inquire about her."
Once they inquired, they naturally knew everything. In order to relieve their resentment, they were given a few steamed buns and the little beggars naturally sang the song with all their might.
"This slut deserves to die. Even after her death she still brings trouble to our Su family!" Su Huaishan was indignant.
Su Huaiyuan stroked his forehead, feeling that this matter was not that simple.
A courtesan would spend such money and go through such trouble for a dead courtesan?
Everyone is dead, and the only one dragged into this is the Su family.
"Huaiyuan, what do you think we should do?" asked the old lady.
Su Huaishan took over the conversation: "I think the only way is to spend money to settle it. Spend more money and let the servants go out to distribute the money. If they see anyone singing, pay them to shut up."
Su Huaiyuan laughed angrily: "Isn't this just confessing yourself?"
"Forget it, don't pay attention to it. I'm tired of singing it for two days, so I'll just stop singing it. Not responding is the fastest way. The more you respond, the more they will get worse."
Su Huaishan wanted to say something, but Su Huaiyuan said, "Don't you understand the result of two armies cursing at each other on the battlefield?"
Su Huaishan was stunned and nodded slowly.
Madam Su took a deep breath and said, "Then Zhiyi..."
"The emperor fined her salary. I told her to stay at home. Just stay in the courtyard. She doesn't have to go anywhere."
"That palace banquet..."
"Why hold a banquet in the palace? Aren't you embarrassed enough? Do you have to go in front of the emperor and let others point fingers at her, and let the emperor know about these things?" Su Huaiyuan couldn't suppress his anger. "How can you be a mistress? Don't you have any brains at all?"
Madam Su's eyes turned red with anger, and she bit her lip and said, "Then, let Ding Qin go."
Su Huaiyuan glanced at her and was too lazy to respond.
"My son is tired, go and have a rest."
He got up and left, and Su Huaishan also left.
Madam Su wiped her tears and said, "Mother, look at him. He doesn't say he is tired. He is obviously going to look for that Ruan."
The old lady was simply having a headache: "You are the mistress's legal wife, you have three children, two sons, what are you afraid of?"
"Let's take a step back and say that even if he took that woman as his concubine, what would that matter? Would her status still be higher than yours?"
"Look at all the men in the capital. Not to mention the wealthy and powerful ones, even the merchants with a little money have concubines. Huaiyuan has only had you for so many years, and your children are so grown up. What else do you want?"
Mrs. Su stopped crying: "..."
"Okay, get busy. Mid-Autumn Festival is not just about palace banquets, there must also be family banquets. This year, Huaiyuan is at home, so we must make it even better. This is what you, as the mistress, should do."
Madam Su lowered her head and walked out.
Mrs. Zhao brought tea and said, "Please don't get angry."
The old lady let out a heavy breath, "How can I not be angry? I am really disappointing. Tomorrow is the thirteenth day, and we are going to open the ancestral hall. How are the preparations going?"
"Don't worry, everything you need is ready, all of them are the best incense and candles."
"Huaiyuan is my son. I will naturally support him in whatever he wants to do. I just didn't expect... that one day I would be opened as a shrine by Shengsheng, a maid, and prepare all these."
"Well, she is now a princess, and she is different from before. I hope she will remember our kindness."
"Go and give her my jade bracelet so she can wear it on the day she recognizes her ancestors."
"That was blessed at a temple two years ago. Are you giving it to her?"
"Go ahead and let her know my feelings."
"……yes."
Yu Shengsheng remembered this bracelet. At that time, she had just returned not long ago, and the old lady wore this bracelet when she went to burn incense.
The old lady didn't like her in the first place, and she disliked her even more after she came back from the temple. She also said that the bracelet had been blessed and should be worn at all times to avoid being unlucky by her.
Unexpectedly, one day, this bracelet would fall into her hands.
Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "Miss Sheng, the old lady loves you very much. Wear it tomorrow. It will also save your face."
Yu Shengsheng looked at the bracelet. It was moist and transparent. It was a good thing.
But it’s not a matter of face.
"Okay, go back and tell the old lady that I will wear it carefully."
Nanny Zhao bowed and walked away. As she turned around, contempt was evident in her eyes - what princess? She is just a wild girl who grew up in the countryside. Even though she has a noble status, she is still poor and petty.
Madam Zhou asked in a low voice: "Miss, do you really want to wear it?"
"Of course, not only do you have to wear it, you have to let everyone see it," Yu Shengsheng didn't even want to touch the bracelet, "naturally someone will be unable to resist when the time comes."
There will definitely be a good show when the ancestral hall opens tomorrow.
August 13th.
Su Huaiyuan came in person early in the morning, carrying a lunch box, bringing her breakfast, and ate with her.
"Rest for a while. I'll go and prepare for you. Someone will come and take you there later."
Jin Baobao came up and whispered, "Miss, do you still want people to sing?"
"No need," Yu Shengsheng smiled, "The effect has been achieved. Things will backfire when they get too extreme. Let them all go."
"yes."
Madam Zhou brought the clothes up and said, "Miss, I will help you dress up."
Yu Shengsheng glanced at the clothes. They were sent by Su Yanshu last night.
I have to say that he really knows a lot about women's dresses. Every time he chooses one, it is very beautiful and the most fashionable style.
"Cut it."
Nanny Zhou was stunned.
Jin Baobao picked up the scissors: "I'll do it."
After Yu Shengsheng finished dressing up, she continued to draw a small album at the table. Jin Baobao lay on the side, holding his chin and watching.
"Miss, I understand. This is you, and that is Grandma Wu."
Yu Shengsheng smiled and tapped her forehead: "Indeed."
As he was speaking, the people around Su Huaiyuan came.
Yu Shengsheng covered the booklet.
Opening an ancestral hall is a big event, not to mention that one has to change the surname and include it in the family tree.
Yu Shengsheng was the last one to arrive.
Even Su Zhiyi, who was under house arrest, came.
Yu Shengsheng thought to herself that it was time for Su Zhiyi to come, as she had been a member of the Su family for so long, and now that the ancestral hall was opening, she had to witness it with her own eyes.
Besides, things today will definitely not go smoothly, and Su Zhiyi will have to watch the drama that she promotes.
As soon as Yu Shengsheng arrived, Su Yanshu frowned.
"Shengsheng, why aren't you wearing the dress that my second brother gave you?"
Yu Shengsheng sighed helplessly: "It's broken."
“It was cut.”
Su Yanshu was startled: "What? Who cut it?"
Su Huaiyuan interrupted: "Okay, it doesn't matter what you wear."
Yu Shengsheng folded her hands. The sleeves of her old clothes were a little short, just enough to reveal her wrists.
There was a plaster on one wrist and a jade bracelet given by the old lady on the other wrist.
Su Zhiyi's eyes flashed with resentment, and then returned to normal.
"Sister, this bracelet..."
"The old lady gave it to me," Yu Shengsheng raised her hand with a faint smile, "It was blessed. Aunt Zhao said that only the auspicious energy can dissolve the negative energy in me."
The old lady's face changed slightly, and Nanny Zhao opened her eyes wide.
