Second marriage to the regent

Chapter 5
"Madam, the people in the Marquis Mansion clearly know that you are helpless and they can manipulate you at will. This is really too much!"

Ying Shi, who was pouring tea for Su Junxi, said angrily.

Su Junxi watched as the water in the teacup overflowed, but Yingshi didn't notice it yet.

"Ah!" she cried.

When Yingshi came back to her senses, she realized that she had messed up, and quickly wiped away the overflowing water: "Madam, how are you? You didn't scald it, did you?"

Su Junxi shook her head, and Yan'er came in with the newly brewed tea: "That pot of tea is cold. Take it and empty it quickly. I'll brew a new pot for Madam."

She and Yan'er were the only ones left in the room.

She pondered for a long time and then spoke slowly: "Yan'er, you are always thoughtful, please pay more attention to Bai's mother and son."

"My slave understands." Yan'er responded readily.

Su Junxi's eyes were dim, and she was thinking, if she could help Yan'er before she embarked on the road of no return, would there be a change?

After all, when she was adopted, it was a war-torn era, homeless and helpless.

Thinking about it, she suddenly raised her head and happened to meet the eyes of Yan'er who was handing her tea.

"Is Madam worried?" Seeing that she was uneasy, Yan'er said worriedly: "I know that many things have happened in the house these days that upset Madam. Why don't you send a message to the Duke's Mansion and let Madam come to see it?" Looking at you?"

In the past, at Duke Anguo's Mansion, Su Junxi would look for his wife every time he was in a bad mood. When she saw her, all her worries would disappear, and it will definitely be the same this time.

Su Junxi naturally missed her family. With so many things happening, she was both scared and happy.

But she insisted on marrying Tang Zhili back then, despite her family's strong objections. Now that her life is in a mess, she thinks of her parents' family, and they probably won't pay attention to her.

"That's all. If my mother finds out about taking concubines, she will definitely come to ask for an explanation. Then it will only be my fault."

With the personality of the Tang family, they will definitely think that it was arranged by them, and they will only become more disgusted and reject themselves.

Yan'er seemed to have noticed her unspeakable secret, and immediately changed the subject and said, "Madam, do you still remember the princess?"

"Li Xiangyue?" Su Junxi only remembered her.

Yan'er nodded: "The princess's birthday will be in two days. As the queen's beloved daughter, the banquet will surely entertain the female relatives of all major families. Why don't you go and have a heart-to-heart talk with the princess, madam?"

Li Xiangyue was the Queen's first child, and she was almost twenty years old, but there was no rumor that she was going to be given a marriage.

But when he thought that he had been in the Marquis Mansion in his previous life and had never attended the banquet, he felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

"Has the invitation been delivered?" From Yan'er's tone, it was almost certain that the invitation had been delivered.

Yan'er hurriedly took out an invitation from her sleeve and handed it to her: "I have forgotten to inform Madam since I came back from the palace. Please atone for my sins."

"It doesn't matter." She took the invitation, and expecting that the people in the Hou family had not been informed of the matter, she ordered: "After dinner, you can tell the people in the Hou family this news."

"Yes, ma'am."

Today she saw the way Tang Zhili looked at Mr. Bai, which had never appeared to her before. If it had been before, she would have been so envious of Ms. Bai.

But now, she just feels that these two people are really made for each other.

If a promiscuous woman goes to the banquet, I don't know what kind of fun it will bring. It is really exciting.

Two days later, as soon as Su Junxi stepped out of the Marquis Mansion, she saw Mrs. Bai holding Tang Zhili's sleeves and acting coquettishly. Her charming smile made Tang Zhili wince.

"You don't have to go, I can just go with Feng'er." Tang Zhili glanced sideways at Su Junxi. She looked dignified, but he just couldn't stand her condescending attitude.

Su Junxi had no reaction when she heard this, but the two maids behind her had already turned red with anger.

She smiled and said, "Master Marquis brings an outsider to the princess's banquet, so I might feel uncomfortable."

A word from an outsider is enough to throw Bai into confusion.

Her face flushed, and she retorted: "Although my sister is from a humble background, she has also brought an heir to the Hou family. How can I become an outsider in my sister's mouth?" As she spoke, she leaned into Tang Zhili's arms with an aggrieved look.

"Feng'er is right. But you, as the mistress, failed to fulfill your responsibilities, and instead provoked others." Tang Zhili put his arm around Bai's shoulders, not forgetting to scold Su Junxi.

Su Junxi was not angry because of this, and still said calmly: "Even if the Bai family brings an heir to the Hou family, she is not qualified to attend the banquet on behalf of the mistress."

She paused, observed their expressions, and then continued: "Besides, it was me who was invited by the princess to the banquet. If I don't go, does the Marquis think the princess will entertain the Marquis?"

As soon as he heard Su Junxi's words, Tang Zhili knew that she had to go.

Are you jealous that you just want to take Bai Shi there, or are you deliberately making things difficult for yourself?

When did she become so articulate?

Tang Zhili felt for a moment that the woman in front of him was strange.

When Bai saw Tang Zhili's eyes falling on Su Junxi for a long time and refused to move away, she pretended to be unsteady and swayed for a moment.

With quick eyesight and quick hands, he quickly supported her: "But you knelt for a long time yesterday and you feel unwell?"

Before Bai Shi could respond, Su Junxi walked past them and got directly into the carriage, not forgetting to remind her: "Princess's birthday is a happy event. If my sister is unwell, please stay in the house. Don't contaminate the bad luck to her." Princess."

Hearing Su Junxi's sarcastic words, the hatred in Bai's eyes almost overflowed. She would never let the two of them have a chance to be alone. She shook her head and said: "It's just that I didn't stand firm. It's nothing serious. It's better to do it earlier." Let's go, don't keep the princess waiting."

Seeing Su Junxi's carriage start, Bai hurriedly urged Tang Zhili.

Tang Zhili carefully helped Ms. Bai get into the carriage and headed to the princess's mansion one after the other.

After arriving at the princess's residence, Tang Zhili went to reminisce with his colleagues in the court. Since Bai had no acquaintances, he followed Su Junxi.

"Hey, isn't this the concubine who just entered the Marquis of Jingan's residence? The Marquis really dotes on her enough that he takes her with him on such occasions!"

As soon as Bai heard this, confidence immediately spread throughout her body, her head held high, as if she were a little green among thousands of flowers.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this Su family has suffered so much. She has been married into the Marquis Mansion for many years without getting any benefits."

"No, this concubine is almost climbing over her head! From what I see, her position as the mistress of the house will have to be replaced sooner or later!"

When the lady on the side saw her friend who spoke so freely, she immediately stopped eating melon seeds, quickly covered her mouth, and admonished her: "When will you and I be able to talk about the legitimate daughter of Duke Anguo? You don't want to live." Already?"

Although these people looked at Su Junxi as if they were joking, they were still afraid of her identity as the legitimate daughter of Duke An Guo.

She hates.
