Chapter 1485: 1485 accepts concubine 2

Su Zhenzhu naturally followed them with a smile on her face.

In the living room of Yi Garden, the maid Shuang’er said, "Please wait for a moment, the Lady is resting. I’ll report to her once she wakes up."

The Su Family couple and Su Zhenzhu waited in the hall.

Having waited for quite some time, Su Zhenzhu became impatient. "Hey, I mean, can’t you report to her now?"

Shuang’er replied respectfully, "My Lady does not like to be disturbed while resting. Unless it’s a matter of great urgency, I suggest you wait."

"It’s not urgent, not urgent." Su Qin assessed Shuang’er’s delicate and pretty face; indeed a beautiful woman. It looked like what the maid Minxiang said about there being no ugly servants in the Xiao Mansion in the capital city must be true.

After nearly two hours, Shuang’er finally heard Shen Yun’s summon.

The three of them had originally thought they would soon see Lady Xiao.

Who knew it would take another half an hour as she was presumably dressing and grooming herself.

As the day was nearly over, and their feet had grown numb from standing, Lady Xiao Shen Yun finally entered the living room with Shuang’er’s assistance.

"Lady Xiao, you’ve finally arrived..." Su Dashui’s voice had a hint of emotion. The wait was so long, he felt as if he had lost several taels of fat.

"Father-in-law, sorry to have kept you waiting." Shen Yun sat down in the seat of honor, her face the epitome of graceful nobility, exuding the full aura of a noblewoman. The words were mere courtesy, as her demeanor showed no signs of apology, "May I know what brings you here?"

"Here’s the thing..." Su Dashui said ingratiatingly, "Mother-in-law, look..." he gestured towards his niece beside him, "what do you think of my niece Su Zhenzhu?"

"I pay my respects to Lady Xiao," Su Zhenzhu said with a docile demeanor.

Lady Xiao glanced at her, "She does seem like a well-mannered child."

Just by hearing Su Dashui’s question and seeing that he had brought Su Zhenzhu, she guessed that they were looking for a marriage proposal for Su Zhenzhu, perhaps even setting their sights on her Chuan’er.

"Zhenzhu is also sixteen this year, just one month younger than Yue’er," Su Dashui glared at Zhenzhu with a look of grievance. "This child should also find a mother-in-law’s house. Yesterday, as I was passing by her room door in the middle of the night, I heard her crying tragically. I knocked on the door and asked what was wrong. It turned out she had fallen for Chuan’er at first sight. Because Chuan’er is her brother-in-law, she felt ashamed and thus was crying bitterly. It’s too much for me to bear as her Uncle. Lady Xiao, what do you think... could we allow Zhenzhu to become Chuan’er’s concubine?"

Shen Yun inwardly felt that this Su Family was really getting ahead of themselves. A bunch of lowborns!

The mere fact that Su Dashui, a lowborn, dared to affectionately call her son Chuan’er, he wasn’t worthy at all. And as for Su Zhenzhu’s looks and her family background, she was insufficient even to be a servant in Chuan’er’s chamber, yet here they were, brazenly asking for her to be a concubine.

However, such a concubine, even if taken, could simply be beaten to death or sold later on; it would just be a matter of her word.

With a fake smile on her face, Shen Yun said, "That would be wonderful, we could become even closer relatives. Yue’er has been in the household for so long, spending every day with Chuan’er, without getting pregnant. Our Xiao Family is waiting for Chuan’er to marry several concubines to spread the family’s branches. But just my agreement isn’t enough. Chuan’er is stubborn, perhaps you should ask for his opinion."

Su Dashui thought that definitely he wouldn’t agree, so he said, "In any family’s marriage, the parents’ command and the matchmaker’s word are paramount. Why not Lady Xiao, you decide directly? Chuan’er is filial; he will surely be pleased."
