Aunt Su is in her early fifties and is indeed as old as a grandmother in others, but she is well maintained. She looks only about forty years and likes to dress up. When the little maids around her see her, they will flatter Aunt Su as young.
Logically speaking, she should call Madam Su, but she doesn't like it. She always feels old-fashioned and has no face, so she insists on calling herself an aunt.
Unexpectedly, Wei Shi was disliked by her old age, Aunt Su's mood was imaginable, and the smile on her face immediately became tense and sank.
"It is a good thing for the girl to be young, energetic, and lively. But some things should be done within their means, not to show off. Although I am old, I have experienced more things than the girl to be. Today, the girl and I are heart-wrenching, and it is also for the sake of your highness."
Biyu quickly said, "No, even the old lady trusts Aunt Su, and leave the affairs of the mansion to Aunt Su for peace of mind. The old lady is His Highness's grandmother and the mother of the Empress in the palace. Does the girl look down on the old lady?"
Biyu has been with Aunt Su for several years and is very good at understanding his face. Some words are inconvenient for Aunt Su, so Biyu will do it for him.
He opened his mouth and put on a big hat that looked down on Mrs. Su. Even Xiao Zhan was in front of him and did not dare to disobey Mrs. Su, otherwise he would be unfilial.
It’s a pity that I met Wei Jing, and I was destined to be unlucky!
"I don't understand. The account book of the mansion is a secret matter. Aunt Su is just a servant of the Su family. Even if Mrs. Su is in front of me, I would like to ask, how can I check the account book of the mansion in others at will? If it is about relatives, can Mrs. Su check the account book of the palace and ask them one by one. After all, the emperor is the son-in-law of the Su family."
Wei Jing frowned and said with a cold face, "If Aunt Su doesn't let her look at the account book, she will look down on the old lady. I wonder, is this the original intention of Mrs. Su, or is someone deliberately smearing the reputation of the Su family with chicken feathers as a command arrow?"
She is not a good person at all, and she has encountered many more troubles since childhood.
Biyu's face turned pale when she was blocked, "When did I say that? Don't be confused. How could the old lady look at the palace account book..."
"Shut up!" Aunt Su squinted her eyes and continued to talk, but she didn't know what would happen.
Biyu shrank her neck and stood helplessly behind Aunt Su.
Aunt Su was holding her breath and looked at Wei Jing. This girl could do something big and she could not make any mistakes in every word or act. If you label her, she would label you a bigger hat, which made people unable to speak. If you say anything wrong, you will suffer.
"This girl is ignorant and can't speak, but her original intention is good. I'm also thinking about your highness, not trying to argue with the girl."
Wei Jing nodded, "I understand that Aunt Su is used to being a servant in the Su family and considering the master. This is a good thing. No wonder Mrs. Su likes Aunt Su so much."
Why does this sound a little harsh? This has been accused of being a servant more than once. Aunt Su was tense. In the Su family, there were few people who could command her. Even when my sister and brother saw Aunt Su, they had to politely call Aunt Su. When they arrived at Wei Shi, they were disliked again and again. Aunt Su took a deep breath and felt very nervous.
"When I saw the girl, I remembered myself when I was young, with a tenacity, unyielding, unwillingness to admit defeat, and liked to be the best in everything, but later I suffered some losses. Fortunately, the old lady was kind to others, and I don't know if her highness would treat the girl as well as the old lady when she married her legitimate concubine in the future."
After all, Aunt Su stayed in the Hou Mansion for decades, so she quickly calmed down and glanced at Wei Jing, "Since Miss Yan is in charge of the affairs of the mansion, she must be extremely busy, so I won't disturb you much."
"Auntie, go slowly." Wei Gui was too lazy to get up and held the teacup and took a sip.
Aunt Su felt a little confused again, as if she was thinking of something, "Now there is only Concubine Gu in the mansion. Concubine Gu was quite frightened that day. I want to visit Concubine Gu. Miss Wang wouldn't obstruct it, right?"
Wei Jing narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "Of course not. There is no need to go in for idle people other than my aunt."
Aunt Su hummed, without saying a word, and took the maid away.
Seeing Aunt Su's back as she left, Ling Bo couldn't help asking, "Girl, why didn't Aunt Su mention the meals these days?"
"What's the use of telling me? I'm waiting for His Highness to come back to make the decision."
Ling Bo suddenly realized and murmured in a low voice, "Miss, let Aunt Su do whatever she wants? I think Aunt Su is not a good-efficient lamp, so I should just pass it away as soon as possible."
Wei Jing silently put down the teacup, "Send an Aunt Su, and turn around and have another Aunt Li and Aunt Zhang. This time it was arranged by the Su family. What if it is given to any master in the palace next time?"
"Why are you keeping a close eye on us?"
Wei Jing curled his lips and smiled, "I remember that the Su family did not support His Highness, but supported King Heng. King Heng's mother was the son of Mrs. Su's sister. At this time, Aunt Su was sent over, and the intention was imagined."
Leaving his grandson without supporting him and supporting his nephew, the Su family is able to come out, and Ling Bo is even more puzzled, "How can a girl know that the Su family does not support His Highness?"
"The Su family is also in Shengjing City. Murong and Gu families send two people. Is the Su family unaware of it? Also, the eldest granddaughter of Mrs. Su is Princess Heng, and the two families are more kinship. King Heng was the king early on. Our highness is poor and has been a proton in Nanliang for eight years and has no status at all. How could the Su family look down on Your Highness?"
I sent an Aunt Su, but I just wanted to know what Xiao Zhan was doing. Maybe I would still monitor King Heng, otherwise why would I save Concubine Gu so by chance?
Ling Bai was even more angry when he heard this, "Miss, the Su family is more generous than the other. How can you know that your highness will not be as good as King Heng in the future?"
Wei Zhi didn't have a good impression of the Su family. He shook his head and continued to calculate the account book. Not to mention that the Su family looked down on His Highness, she wouldn't even care about the Su family's paying!
...
"Aunt Su!"
When Gu Fangfei saw Aunt Su, he seemed to have seen a savior. His little face was pale and he grabbed Aunt Su's sleeve tightly.
"Aunt, please save me, I want to see Your Highness."
Aunt Su glanced at Gu Concubine Gu, slowly pulled out her sleeves, and sat down with Gu Concubine Gu, "Don't worry, your princess has not been in the mansion these days. I have been here for so many days and have never seen Your prince once. When Your prince comes back, I will definitely mention your princess to Your prince."
Concubine Gu pursed her lips tightly. As soon as she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with Wei Yin pressing her neck and pressing her into the water, without even a chance to struggle. She even felt that Wei Yin wanted her to die!
"Thank you, I will repay you one day." Gu Fangfu took off the jade bracelet on his wrist and stuffed it on Aunt Su's wrist with red eyes. "The court has sent two concubines in total. Murong's concubines have already had an accident. If even I have an accident, the emperor will definitely be dissatisfied with Your Highness, and he thought that your Highness was deliberately against the emperor."
Aunt Su reached out and touched the bracelet on her wrist. She felt that the water was good, and her eyes were filled with smiles. She reached out and patted the back of Concubine Gu's hand, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you one day. What the yellow-haired girl said doesn't count. Your Highness and the Su family are close relatives. Your Highness will never disobey the elders, unless your Highness wants to destroy his future!"
With Aunt Su's words, Concubine Gu felt much more at ease.
Then the conversation changed, and Aunt Su lowered her voice, "How did the concubine offend the girl? I am also a newcomer and I have a look at the affairs of the mansion. I also want to contribute to the concubine."
Concubine Gu closed her eyebrows, but soon told them all about what happened during this period. Aunt Su was shocked and asked again, "What did Concubine Murong do?"
When talking about Concubine Murong, Concubine Gu hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "Your Highness was hiding it from me, but I only knew that he had beaten a pregnant maid to death, which made His Highness furious. That maid was still from Concubine Murong. Concubine Murong is strong and can't rub the sand in her eyes. Maybe it's because of this."
Aunt Su was half-believing and half-doubted. She stayed in the yard for two hours, looked around and frowned secretly, "After all, the concubine is the woman of His Highness, and there is no legitimate concubine on it, so the concubine is the most important thing. Why is this residence so simple? If someone else sees her, she will think that the concubine is not favored. Or is it the girl who makes the decision without authorization and deliberately suppresses the concubine?"
"It's not just me, but even the same is true in the yard of Concubine Murong."
Aunt Su became more and more curious, "Why is this?"
"There is no money in the public account, and the expenses for food and drink are paid out in my own yard. If you want to eat and use whatever you want, it will be smuggled."
"There are still these rules?" Aunt Su was shocked and couldn't believe her ears. Who would have expected that the dignified prince would have lived such a shabby life.
Concubine Gu nodded, "I didn't believe it at first, but later even Concubine Murong had no choice. The mansion's expenses were all spent on the dowry and money, so I gave up."
Aunt Su pursed her lips tightly. She was still waiting for Xiao Zhan to come back. She pretended to be sick and accused Wei Jing of Wei. Fortunately, she didn't do this, otherwise it would be thankless.
"This... the second prince was actually in this field. If the concubine hadn't said it personally, I wouldn't believe it. Wouldn't this belittle your prince's face?"
"The same is true in Your Highness's yard. You really can't afford to pay for the extra money, so you can only make do with it." Gu Fangxian said awkwardly.
Aunt Su was silent for a moment, and she really didn't know what to say. She thought that a golden nest could at least make enough money, but she didn't know that she would have to pay money and suffer in vain. Aunt Su felt really uncomfortable and shouldn't have come at the beginning.
After staying for a while, Aunt Su knew almost everything he should know. He knew it in his heart. When he returned to the yard, it was just lunch time. Two dishes and one soup, clear soup was weak, and there was not even a trace of meat oil. Aunt Su enjoyed her happiness for half her life, but she couldn't bear it. She started to ask Biyu to go out to buy food and replenish it privately.
Wei Jing laughed it off after learning it. In Lingbo's words, such people need repairs!
