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

Princess Shaohua saw Su Qing standing there blankly with a blank look in her eyes. She didn't know what she was thinking about, so she frowned slightly and called to Su Qing softly, "Xiao Qing? What are you thinking about? So serious?"

"I was thinking it would be great if everyone could have skin as smooth as the princess's. Only a thin layer of foundation would be needed." Su Qing came back to her senses, a smile on her face, and said quickly.

"By the way, is your shop open? I didn't receive your invitation." Princess Shaohua pursed her lips, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"Not yet, just in the next two days. Once it's opened, I will definitely send an invitation to the princess!" Su Qing bowed slightly, her tone full of sincerity.

"Have you set a specific date?" Princess Shaohua asked, her face filled with anticipation.

"It's decided. We'll open on the sixth day of the New Year!" Su Qing replied excitedly.

Princess Shaohua nodded, raised the corners of her mouth, and said, "Life is good!"

Su Qing continued, "Princess, you must come to support us when the time comes. It is an honor for our shop if you can come."

Princess Shaohua smiled and replied, "Of course, I will go there. But what new things are you going to sell in your shop?"

Su Qing blinked mysteriously: "Princess, let me keep it a secret for now, you will know on the opening day, I promise I won't disappoint you."

Princess Shaohua pretended to be angry and said, "You little girl, you are playing mysterious games with me."

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious and cheerful.

At this time, a maid came up to her and said respectfully, "Princess, the Queen Mother wants you to come to the palace."

Princess Shaohua's bright face showed a hint of reluctance. She looked at Su Qing affectionately and said, "Then I will enter the palace first. You should prepare for the opening of the business."

Su Qing bowed quickly and said firmly, "Farewell, Princess. Xiao Qing will definitely live up to your expectations."

After Princess Shaohua left, Su Qing also left the princess's mansion.

Sitting in the carriage, she suddenly felt a strong urge in her heart, that is, she wanted to go to the general's mansion to take a look. With the thought in mind, she no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the coachman to turn the carriage around and head towards the general's mansion.

The carriage drove on the road for a while before arriving at the destination. Su Qing gently lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked up. The once glorious and bustling general's mansion no longer existed. There was a seal on the gate, and two serious-looking soldiers were guarding the door.

In the entire general's mansion, I am probably the only one who has not been implicated by this storm! No, there is another person, "Yin Shuying." I think the prime minister must have tried his best to save her.

Su Qing looked at the desolate scene in front of her, feeling mixed emotions. She slowly lowered the curtain, "Let's go back home!" Su Qing said to the driver in a low voice.

When she returned to the mansion, as soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Jiang Nian and Jiang Yan, two children, with red faces and ears, arguing fiercely about something. Su Qing hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with you? What are you arguing about? The voices are so loud that we can hear them from far away."

When Jiang Yan saw Su Qing, he felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw. He instantly gained confidence and held Su Qing's hand tightly with his small hand.

"Mother, please tell my brother, will I also be the prince when I am as old as him? I am just too young now." After hearing what Jiang Yan said, Su Qing glanced at the maids around the two children. The maids felt the sharp gaze and lowered their heads in fear.

Su Qing knew it well, and then she said to Jiang Yan with a kind smile: "Yan'er, mother will ask you a question first, can you answer mother first?"

"Then mother, after you have asked your questions, you must answer my question! Tell brother that I will also be the prince." Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Nian confidently, his eyes seemed to say, just wait, mother will definitely tell you that I will also be the prince.

"Mother wants to know, doesn't Yan'er like his brother the most? Why is he suddenly thinking about the prince?" Su Qing tried to hear the real reason from the child.

"They say that mother is partial and let my brother be the crown prince and not let Yan'er do it, but I don't believe it. Since my brother can do it, I can do it too." Jiang Yan pouted, looking stubborn and unwilling to be outdone.

They? Su Qing was puzzled. Could these “they” be the maids and nannies around Nian’er and Yan’er?

"Well, mother believes that Yan'er can definitely become the prince." After saying that, Su Qing looked at Jiang Nian, "What does Nian'er think about this?"

"I am the prince, and my status is more noble than your brother. Your brother has to bow when he sees me, and I will never be the prince! Only I can do it, and I was conferred the title by the emperor!" Jiang Nian raised his head slightly, with a proud look on his face, not taking Jiang Yan seriously at all.

Su Qing was shocked when she heard this. She couldn't imagine that Nian'er, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, would say such arrogant words!

This made her instantly angry, and she looked sharply at the maids and maids around her, "Are you the ones who are trying to sow discord and spread rumors in front of the young master and the young master?" Su Qing's tone was cold, and her eyes were so indifferent that they seemed to freeze.

When the maids and maids heard Su Qing's sharp words, they were so scared that they knelt down one after another, trembling all over and said, "Madam, please understand, we will definitely not gossip in front of the young master and the young master. It's..."

Su Qing saw that the nanny was hesitant and hesitated to speak, and she concluded that there must be something fishy about this matter. She frowned, her eyes were like torches, and she said again in a stern voice: "What is it? Why don't you tell it quickly? If you tell even a single lie, everyone will be beaten to death." Trying to instigate her children is simply wishful thinking, and there is no way.

"To answer your question, madam, the young master and the young master were practicing swords early in the morning, and the Princess of the Kingdom of Jin happened to pass by and asked about it." The nanny answered tremblingly.

Princess of the Kingdom of Jin? Su Qing was furious when she heard the name. She laughed in anger: "Well, you really have a long hand! You dare to touch my bottom line. Haha... I wanted to let you stay in my house, but it seems that I was too kind and gave you a chance." At this moment, Su Qing's eyes flashed with a fierce look, as if she could cut a person into pieces.

"You don't have to serve the young master and the young master anymore! Housekeeper?" Su Qing shouted angrily, "Find a human trafficker to sell them all!" Her voice was cold and resolute, with unquestionable majesty.

"We can't keep these useless people around the children. As servants, what's the use of you if you can't even protect your own master? I will never allow such hidden dangers to stay around the children and affect their growth." Su Qing's eyes were full of anger and disappointment, and her chest heaved violently with anger.
