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

Chapter 226 Hongmen Banquet

"Then listen to your father. I'll go see my aunt first and then come over."

"Go ahead, bring Liu here too, and let's have dinner together."

"Yes, Qing'er, bring your aunt as well. We are all family, let's have dinner together."

Su Qing looked at Su Yong, then at Qin, and always felt that something was wrong. She couldn't tell because Qin normally wouldn't let the original owner's mother come to the table to eat, and Su Yong wouldn't specially invite the original owner's mother to come.

"Yes, daughter understands. I'll go get your aunt here right away." After saying that, Su Qing walked towards the direction where the original owner's mother lived.

Thinking back to the entire group attack just now, her third brother and sister-in-law didn't say a word. They just sat there quietly drinking tea, which made her feel a little sad.

Her third brother is a hopeless person. She gave him so much money in vain, but he didn't help her at the critical moment. She is sad.

When I arrived at the side courtyard, I saw Liu embroidering something. I walked up to her and found that it was a little tiger embroidered.

"My aunt's embroidery is so beautiful and lifelike."

"Qing'er, you're here, please sit down. Look, this is the undergarment I embroidered for your brother Nian. I thought the fabric was comfortable, so I made several sets of it. You can take these with you when you leave. I will have finished embroidering this one soon." Liu took out several embroidered undergarments from under the quilt.

"Thank you, auntie. The embroidery is so beautiful. Nian'er will definitely like it." Su Qing stroked the fabric and pattern with her hands. Such embroidery would be very valuable if sold now!

"What happened to you a few days ago? I heard your father said he sent someone to the Marquis' Mansion to call you back. Are you sick?"

"I was a little overworked in the past few days, so I didn't get up, so I took a good rest for a few days."

"Doesn't the Marquis's Mansion have a housekeeper? Why would a concubine like you worry about all that?"

"You don't know, Auntie, the housekeeper power of the Marquis's Mansion has long been in my daughter's hands. Moreover, the emperor issued an order yesterday to betroth my daughter to the Marquis as his wife. The marriage will be completed after the Marquis's leg is healed."

"Is there such a good thing? Oh my~ my Qing'er finally has a chance to shine. If I can be the main wife, who would be willing to be a concubine? There is no hope for my aunt in this life. I have wronged you. In the next life, I would rather die than be a concubine."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. My father just asked me to bring my aunt over to have lunch together."

"What? What does the lady mean?"

"That's what the lady meant, so shall we go?"

He just held Su Qing's hand and said, "Qing'er, I have been in the general's mansion for more than 20 years, and I have never sat at the table with the general and his wife to eat. Moreover, my brothers and sisters are all here, why would they ask me to go? It doesn't make sense. Is there something wrong? Talk to your aunt."

Su Qing knew that Liu was a thoughtful person and must have guessed something.

"Don't worry, Auntie. I know this is a Hongmen Banquet, but I can handle it. Just go, Auntie!"

Liu felt a little uneasy. Based on her understanding of General Su, there must be something important for Su Qing to do, otherwise he wouldn't have called her in such a high-profile manner. If Qing'er didn't agree, would she be hurt?

"Let's go and write it quickly so as not to keep the general and his wife waiting for too long." Liu stood up, put on a cloak, and followed Su Qing to the main courtyard.

When the two of them arrived, everyone was taking their seats. Seeing them come in, Qin spoke, "Come, sister, sit here." Qin patted the seat next to her, motioning for Liu to sit next to her.

"Thank you for your kindness, Madam. I dare not be presumptuous. Sister Qing and I will just sit here."

"Oh, my sister is always so polite. Okay, then you and Qing'er can sit there!"

Su Qing pulled Liu to sit down. Everyone at the table had their own agenda.

The best food tasted like wax to Liu.
