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

"Okay, get up quickly! You have done such a good job, you deserve a reward. I have always been a person who rewards and punishes clearly." Su Qing said in a firm tone.

"It's all because of your thoughtful consideration, madam. I'm just following your instructions." Xiao Yu said as he stood up carefully, a look of submissiveness on his face.

"You are very smart and know how to guess my thoughts. You also know the current situation and know the limits. So stay with me from now on!" After saying that, Su Qing stopped looking at Xiao Yu and continued to leisurely appreciate the gorgeous decorations of Fendai Pavilion, her eyes revealing satisfaction and intoxication.

Xiao Yu was stunned when he heard Su Qing's words. He was very shocked. There was a world of difference between working for the lady and working beside her! This meant a completely different status and treatment.

When Xiao Yu recovered from his shock, he knelt down again and said in an anxious and firm voice: "I will definitely live up to your expectations, Madam, and will do my best to the utmost!!"

"I understand. Please don't kneel. All I want is your loyalty." Su Qing frowned slightly and said with a helpless look.

"I will definitely be loyal. If you don't believe me, Madam, I am willing to let you dig out my heart and see it!" Xiao Yu spoke sincerely with a determined look on his face.

"You are kidding me. You can still live after your heart is dug out? Well, stop talking nonsense like that. I will take a look at the situation first, you go and do your own thing!" After saying that, Su Qing turned to look at Ruxue, "Go to the military camp and ask if the Marquis can come back the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes, I'll go and send the madam back home." Ruxue clasped her fists and bowed, answering respectfully.

Su Qing nodded and thought to herself that this was a good idea. Given the current situation, it was indeed unsafe outside.

After a full tour, Su Qing returned to the mansion with satisfaction. After returning home, she quickly sent people to deliver the carefully prepared invitations to the ladies of each mansion, and then personally took the precious invitation to deliver it to Princess Shaohua.

On the opening day, Su Qing carefully set up a buy-one-get-one-free promotion, clearly stipulating that any customer who purchases more than fifty taels will receive a lipstick, and the customer can choose any color.

Then she ordered people to write down the rules of the activity neatly and put up a conspicuous sign at the door.

Su Qing only went to the backyard to have a cup of tea. When she came out again, she saw that the store was already crowded with people.

The lively scene seemed to make the whole city boil!

She had thought that many people would come on the opening day, but she had never thought that there would be so many people! Every lady and young lady praised the things in the store.

Su Qing was filled with joy and pride when she saw this lively scene. She hurried to the store and personally entertained the guests.

Princess Shaohua, surrounded by a group of attendants, brought along all the powerful and wealthy ladies in the capital, who came in a grand procession to show their support for Su Qing.

"Xiao Qing, this is a gift from me to celebrate your opening!"

Then several people carried over a red coral, which shone like a rare treasure. Its entire body was a bright and warm red, as if it had been dyed by the afterglow of the setting sun, and every inch of it exuded a charming glow.

The branches of corals are winding and twisting, like a lively movement or a fairy dancing with ribbons, elegant and rhythmic. The delicate texture is like a mark left by time, recording the mysterious story in the depths of the ocean.

Each branch is extremely delicate, like a carefully carved work of art, yet carries the charm of nature's magic.

At the top of the red coral, there are clusters of coral flowers blooming like flames. They sway in the wind, like a dream, as if telling people the affection and romance of the ocean.

Su Qing liked it so much that she ordered people to carry it in quickly and put it in the most conspicuous place.

"Thank you so much for your kindness, Princess. It's so beautiful. Princess, you really understand my preferences!" Su Qing flattered the princess.

As there were so many people coming, Su Qing was worried that the noble princess would be startled, so she carefully took the princess to the backyard. After the two sat down, they chatted cordially about family matters for a while.

But after chatting for a while, they suddenly heard a commotion outside. The noisy sounds came one after another, as if everyone was arguing.

Su Qing looked puzzled and said quickly, "Yanran? Go and see what's going on. Why is there so much noise? What happened?"

Before Wu Yanran could even step out, she saw Xiao Yu rushing in. He looked flustered and hurriedly saluted and said, "Greetings, Princess."

When Princess Shaohua saw this, her beautiful face was filled with anxiety. She waved her hand quickly and told Xiaoyu to speak quickly.

"Princess, Madam, there are so many people gathered in front. I don't know why, they suddenly started fighting in a disorderly manner, and the situation is a little out of control." Xiao Yu said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After Su Qing heard what Xiao Yu said, she thought to herself that it must be someone from a wealthy family who was fighting for it, otherwise Xiao Yu should be able to handle it with his ability.

Then, Su Qing turned to the princess and said respectfully: "Princess, please sit here for a while. I will go out to see what is going on and deal with it as soon as possible!" As she said that, Su Qing turned around and walked out quickly.

“I will go with you. Maybe I can help you calm down this chaotic situation.” Princess Shaohua looked determined and calm.

"What if you are hurt? I can handle this little thing, please rest assured, Princess." Su Qing looked worried.

"It's okay, let's go!" Princess Shaohua stepped forward without giving any time for explanation.

Princess Shaohua and Su Qing came to the front together. They saw several ladies in luxurious clothes fighting over liquid foundation, their faces flushed and none of them gave in.

Su Qing quickly stepped forward to stop them, raising her voice and saying, "Don't rush, everyone will get one. So, for those who can wait to pick it up tomorrow, I'll give them an extra lipstick on top of the original one. How about that?"

After hearing what Su Qing said, the women who were fighting for the item saw Princess Shaohua nearby, so they gave up out of fear.

A woman dressed in gorgeous brocade walked forward, bowed slightly and said, "Then Madam Marquis, please keep your word and don't deceive us. We will buy other things today and come back to get the foundation tomorrow." There was a bit of suspicion and expectation in the woman's eyes.

Su Qing frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then spoke slowly: "Well, you go over there and find the manager to register, and we'll give you money according to the number of people registered, and no one will be left out. Is this arrangement okay?" Su Qing tried to calm everyone down with a gentle yet firm look on her face.
