The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

Chapter 333 Making things difficult

Su Qing arrived at Jishidiang and asked Li Mu to prescribe some ventilating medicine, and then asked Rumei to send it back to the old lady.

Rumei took the medicine and was about to leave when Su Qing stopped her!

"Rumei, when you go back, tell the old lady that Jishidiang is a little busy, so I won't be going back yet. Ask her to make the medicine and take it."

"Madam, don't worry~"

After Rumei left, Su Qing took the account book and went to the backyard. She had nothing to do, she just wanted to relax and have some free time.

Su Qing looked at the account book and felt happy, but she also felt that she should do something else to earn more income.

"Madam~" The shop clerk outside knocked on the door.

"what's up?"

"Someone has come to the General's Mansion and wants to see the Madam!"

? ? Su Qing only had a question mark in her mind. Is there anyone else in the general's mansion who wants to see her? "Let him in!"

The general's housekeeper, Xing, knocked on the door.

"come in!"

When Butler Xing came in and saw that only Su Qing was there, he opened the door without closing it.

"Greetings, Madam Marquis." Butler Xing bowed to Su Qing.

When Su Qing saw that it was Butler Xing from the General's Mansion, she quickly stood up and helped Butler Xing up.

The original owner, her mother and her two children had always been taken care of by housekeeper Xing. When the original owner went to the farm as a child, housekeeper Xing often provided support. Otherwise, how could she have survived to be killed by Su Wanyu?

"No need to be so polite, Steward Xing. It is thanks to your care over the years that I am now the Marquis's wife. How can I accept your greetings?"

"Madam Hou, you are embarrassing me! I am just a servant. I was promoted by General Su and became a housekeeper. Please don't make fun of me."

"Master Xing, please sit down and talk!"

"This..." Butler Xing was at a loss and didn't dare to sit down.

"There are no outsiders here, and Steward Xing has taken good care of us three. Can't I ask Steward Xing to sit down and have a cup of tea?"

"Then...thank you, Madam Hou." After saying this, Butler Xing sat on the chair farthest from Su Qing.

Su Qing looked at it and didn't say much.

"Butler Xing, is there anything that brought you here today?"

"It's like this, our fifth brother's marriage is scheduled for the eighth day of next month, and the general and his wife sent me to inform you."

"Su Jinqi is getting married? Yes..."

"It's the Duke's daughter Meng Zhiyuan, Miss Meng."

"Oh~ I heard Princess Shaohua mention it before, but didn't my fifth brother have a marriage contract before?"

"As a servant, I don't know about those things. If Madam Hou wants to know, you can ask Aunt Liu."

"Okay, I understand. I think Butler Xing has something else to do, so I won't keep you any longer."

After hearing what Su Qing said, Butler Xing quickly stood up and saluted, "Madam Hou, then this old servant will take his leave."

"Wait~" Su Qing took out a hundred taels of silver from the space and put it in the hands of Butler Xing. "Thank you for your kindness over the years. This little money, you can use it to eat and drink!"

When Butler Xing saw the banknote in his hand, he did not refuse it with Su Qing, "Thank you, Madam Hou."

After Butler Xing left, Rumei came back and said, "Madam, the old lady asked you to return home."

"Didn't you tell the old lady that I was busy here?"

"I told you that the old lady said she was not feeling well and asked you to go back and entertain the guests."

"Accompanying guests? Accompanying whom? Is anyone here?"

"The old lady didn't say anything, and I didn't ask."

"Then let's go and take a look!"

Su Qing and Rumei returned to the Marquis's residence. As soon as they entered the hall, they saw a dignified woman and a young girl sitting there drinking tea. The old lady of the Marquis sat in the main seat. Several people were talking and laughing.

When Madam Hou saw Su Qing coming in, she said, "Qing'er, come quickly. This is Madam Meng from Duke Meng's Mansion, and that is her daughter Meng Zhiyuan."

Su Qing secretly sighed, some people are really hard to talk to!

"Hello, Mrs. Meng, sister~" Su Qing leaned forward slightly.

Mrs. Meng did not stand up. Instead, it was Meng Zhiyuan who stood up and supported Su Qing. "Sister, you don't have to be polite. We will be a family from now on. You will have to call me sister-in-law then! Hehe~"

Meng Zhiyuan is the sweet type, with two dimples when she smiles, very cute. Otherwise Princess Shaohua would say that it would be a waste to marry my fifth brother. It's true!

Before Su Qing could say anything, she heard Madam Meng say, "Yuan'er~Don't talk nonsense. What sister-in-law? You are a girl who has not yet married into the family. Don't talk nonsense. It's rude." After that, she turned her head and looked at Madam Hou, "Madam, don't blame me. I spoiled this girl."

"They are all children~ who should be blamed or not?"

After Madam Meng finished speaking, she took a sip of tea, her eyes full of calculations, "Oh! Look at my brain, Madam Xiaohou, please sit down! I was so busy talking that I forgot about Madam Xiaohou."

Su Qing doesn't like such people. Their faces are full of calculations, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

After Su Qing sat down, Madam Meng spoke again: "The young marquis's wife is so beautiful, otherwise she would have asked the young marquis to divorce his own sister! She is really amazing! You can tell at a glance that she is capable!"

Ha~ Are you here to make fun of me?

"Mrs. Meng has taught Sister Yuan'er so well, I don't think she would be the kind of person who only listens to one side. Don't you think so?"

Madam Meng's eyes lit up. It seemed that she had underestimated the young marquis' wife.

"You talked a lot and drank a lot of tea. I guess the tea here is too delicious, old lady. You finished the whole pot of tea in a short time. I wonder how good is the tea-making skill of the young marquis' wife?"

Su Qing smiled after hearing this, thinking: Isn't this just deliberately making things difficult for me? She knew it very well, but she still kept a polite smile on her face.

"To be honest, Madam Meng, I grew up on a farm, and my tea-making skills pale in comparison to those of the famous ladies in the capital. I'm worried that my skills won't impress you, so I won't show off in front of you."

"What are you talking about, kid? I don't mean to look down on you! I just think that now that you are the marquis' wife and have a noble status, such a small thing as making tea should be no problem for you, right?" Mrs. Meng continued, with a barely perceptible provocation in her tone.

"Mother wants to drink tea. I'll make some for you when we get back." Meng Zhiyuan said with a smile.
