170: Get Back the Principal and Interest

, the latest chapter is updated the fastest!

The marriage of Su Jingmo and Dong Zhiwei was indeed settled very quickly, with almost no suspense. Both sides were very satisfied with the marriage, but the official mourning period had not yet come, so the small engagement had to wait until Changnan Hou arrived in the capital after the New Year.

Before the New Year, the Tu family came to ask for a date, wanting to get married before the New Year, but the second wife disagreed and thought it was too hasty, so the Tu family said that it should be held in the first month of the year. After the second wife and the old lady discussed it, it was finally set on February 16.

Su Chaoyan was hiding in the house embroidering her dowry. Now there is a companion, that is Su Jingmo. Su Jingmo's needlework is far inferior to Su Chaoyan. The third wife didn't really let her tie everything and embroider it by herself, but just wanted to restrain her temper, just to learn the chastity of a girl from Su Chaoyan.

I don't know if Su Jingmo is really satisfied with Dong Zhiwei, but she can really bear the patience to go to Su Chaoyan's place every day. The two sisters embroider the dowry together.

Su Xinyi was so happy when she knew it. In this world, it is really a matter of one's own will. Su Jingmo's personality was willing to settle down and embroider these things, which really moved her.

Seeing that the New Year was approaching, each family submitted the list of candidates. The name submitted by the Duke of Qi was Su Xinyi's. No one cared. They all knew that it was just a formality and it was quite relaxed.

In addition to this matter, there was another matter, which was whether Aunt Weng should be brought back for the New Year.

Su Xinyi had no time to take care of this matter. She finally received a letter, but the letter was not sent by Su Deng, but by Jie Jinglue. Along with the letter from the Jie family, there was also a letter from Su Baiwei to her family, and a New Year gift. The one who came to deliver the New Year gift was the steward next to Jie Jinglue. He personally delivered the letter to Su Xinyi, and was called away by the people from the eldest master's side.

The people from the Jie family came very suddenly. Su Xinyi's heart skipped a beat and she immediately opened the letter. When she saw it, she couldn't help but frowned.

Xie Jinglue's letter was very simple. Xie Guan, the commander of Yulin Guard, gave him a message that the frontier had encountered a heavy snow that had not been seen for several years. The heavy snow blocked the road, and the people of Yulin Guard could not go out to find the caravan.

Su Xinyi sighed when she saw this. This was really not good news.

Xie Guan must have had some concerns when he did not send the letter directly to the Duke of Qi's Mansion. He knew that the Su family and the Xie family were in-laws, so he took a detour and asked Xie Jinglue to bring the letter.

Su Xinyi originally thought that if Su Deng's letter could not arrive, then Tian Zao's letter should have arrived, but Tian Zao had no news either, which made Su Xinyi most worried.

Now that Xie Jinglue's letter has arrived, Su Xinyi's worries have increased.

The heavy snow blocked the road. I don't know if the caravan can find a place to stay to avoid the cold winter. If not, it will be dangerous. Now we can only hope for Pang Lan. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that Pang Lan is someone who has been to the frontier.

Su Xinyi put the letter away, suppressed her irritability, and went to the lady's place. When she arrived, she found that everyone looked very happy. Su Xixian, who was standing next to her, pulled her to sit down and whispered to her, "The eldest sister is pregnant."

Su Xinyi thought that she finally had good news. Seeing the eldest lady's smiling face, she also smiled.

Su Baiwei and Jie Jinglue had their own children, so their marriage would be more stable. With Xie Kun and Yun Jie'er, the family was complete.

The family also prepared a return gift for the Jie family. Knowing that Su Baiwei had a child, the eldest lady quickly prepared some supplements for pregnant women and food that her daughter liked for them to take away.

Su Xinyi also prepared another gift and asked the other sisters if they had anything to bring. As expected, everyone prepared it, so they put it in a box for the people of the Jie family to take back together.

The eldest lady was the happiest. Both her daughter-in-law and daughter were pregnant. This year was really a happy year.

Zeng's pregnancy was not looking good, so the first lady asked her to rest assured and take care of the baby, and she was not allowed to worry about the family affairs. Now that the first lady was busy at home and outside, she asked the second lady to help.

After the Little New Year, firecrackers could be heard everywhere, children were running all over the streets, and the Duke's Mansion was also very lively. Several brothers who studied in the academy came back, and even the eldest master who was on duty stopped writing this year. The family felt deserted before, but now it is immediately lively with more people.

Su Xinyi was worried about the caravan, but it was not good to show it and let everyone worry about it. Zhan Qiao has been running to the post station recently, just to see if there was any letter sent by Su Xinyi.

There was no news day after day, and Su Xinyi thought she might have to wait until after the New Year. Unexpectedly, on the 29th, Zhan Qiao brought Tian Zao's letter.

Zhan Qiao was also worried. He didn't rush to leave after delivering the letter. After the girl finished reading it, he asked anxiously, "Sixth Miss, how is it?"

Su Xinyi handed the letter to Zhan Qiao, "Take a look."

Zhan Qiao glanced at the Sixth Miss, then took the letter. After reading it, his face darkened, "Sixth Miss, I want to go to Yulinwei. Do you think it's okay?"

Su Xinyi was stunned, and then said, "I am worried too, but the caravan is now blocked by heavy snow outside the Great Wall. Tian Zao said in the letter that he and Bao Datong went around to inquire about the news when they were not on duty. Tian Zao even asked for leave to go out of the border to take a look, but he couldn't take a long vacation to find people in depth. Secondly, he was alone and weak, and the supply on the road was also a problem. He could only look for news in the surrounding area. Now there is no news, which is also good news. We can only wait for the beginning of spring. After the New Year, I will ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Rong if they want to send someone to take a look there. If they go, you can go with them."

Far water cannot quench a nearby fire. If they rush over now, they will be trapped in Yulinwei and unable to leave the border. They can only hope that the people in the caravan can find a safe place to hide and return to the border when the wind and snow stop.

Zhan Qiao sighed. This is the only way.

The mountains and rivers are heavy, and the wind and snow block the way. They are thousands of miles away and are really powerless.

This is the first year that Su Xinyi has returned to the Duke's Mansion. The eldest lady has a lively celebration. Su Yi and his younger brothers and sisters stay up all night. The sound of firecrackers rang all night, and it was very lively.

The next morning, Su Xinyi got up early and went to the martial arts field with a group of brothers for morning exercises. When she came back from morning exercises, she saw a lot of New Year's greetings on the table, all sent by the ladies she was good friends with.

She hurriedly finished her meal and went into the study to write New Year's greetings. She counted with her fingers and found that there were quite a few people. She wrote it for half an hour before she finished it. She asked Lian Qiao to give it to Zhan Qiao and asked Zhan Qiao to deliver it to each family.

She received a lot of lucky money last night, and her purse was much bulger.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, married women return to their parents' home. Su Baiwei is too far away to come back. Su Lanxi and her husband came back early with their child. The child is not even a hundred days old, so he is wrapped tightly. Everyone gathers around to play with him slowly.

The second brother-in-law was called to the front by Su Yi and others to talk. Su Lanxi has gained a lot of weight after giving birth to the child, and her cheeks are plump. She is more beautiful than when she was in the boudoir.

The second wife was very happy and held the child tightly. Then everyone went to the old lady together. The old lady gave a big red envelope to her great-grandson and was very happy.

It's good to have a large family.

Because Su Lanxi waited for Su Xinyi to return to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, it was not until the third day of the Chinese New Year that Su Xinyi followed the fourth wife back to the Gao family. Today, several ladies in the mansion will go back to their parents' home.

Zeng is pregnant, and the pregnancy is not very good. She did not go back to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year. She plans to stay there for a few days after the first month of the year.

During the Spring Festival, Su Xinyi learned that the Su family had so many relatives, and there were even more who came to the Su family to pay New Year's greetings. She followed the elders of the family to recognize people, and recognized them for a long time. After returning, she had to work overtime to remember all the names.

Su Jingmo was very happy to see her like this, but Su Xixian didn't smile much. During the Spring Festival, she was looking forward to Aunt Weng's return, but she didn't want her to come back. In the end, she took her back for the face of the Weng family.

But this time, Aunt Weng's temper changed a lot after she came back, especially to the familiar daughter, she was particularly mean, and every word she said was heartbreaking.

This time, Su Jingmo was so happy that he fell backwards, but Su Xixian was in a daze on the side. She reached out and gently pushed Su Xinyi, pointing in Su Xixian's direction.

Su Xinyi had no choice. Aunt Weng returned to the Duke's Mansion and stayed in her yard as before. She closed the door and talked about her daughter. As long as Su Xixian didn't complain to the third lady, the legitimate mother, who could care about Aunt Weng.

Su Xixian recovered and met the concerned eyes of Su Jingmo and Su Xinyi. She cheered up and said, "I don't want to go back to the Weng family this year."

Mrs. Weng goes back to her parents' home almost every year, usually after the first month of the lunar year. It is understandable that she didn't go back this year. After all, the marriage didn't go, and Mrs. Weng was full of resentment. If she went back, she didn't know what would happen.

"Then I won't go. My third sister is getting married in February, so we sisters must stay at home." Su Jingmo said.

Su Xinyi also said, "If you can't go back, don't go back. As long as your cousin doesn't get married, I think Mrs. Weng may not give up. If you go back with her, no one can predict what will happen. Don't let Xu Yurong do it again."

If he really wants Su Xixian to marry his nephew, as long as he makes some work on her reputation, Su Xixian will marry him.

Just by looking at Aunt Weng's attitude towards Su Xixian after she came back, Su Xinyi felt that this kind of thing was possible. Aunt Weng seemed to have a particularly stubborn attitude towards the Weng family.

Su Jingmo looked at Su Xixian, "I told you that you still have to tell Dad about this matter. You didn't listen to me. Do you see Aunt Weng is getting more and more excessive towards you? I tell you that although you are born by Aunt Weng, to put it bluntly, you are a girl in the mansion, and she is an aunt. She is still half a slave in front of you. Look at how she scolds you all day long. I don't know what you are thinking."

Su Jingmo was so angry that he gasped.

Su Xixian smiled bitterly, "I feel guilty for not marrying my cousin. I can say whatever I want, but it won't hurt me. I'll just pretend I didn't hear it. Why should I get angry with her? After all, she gave birth to me. I'll be fine after my marriage is settled and I'll get married."

Everyone has their own difficulties, Su Xixian has her own difficulties. After Su Xinyi and Su Jingmo heard her talk to this point, they couldn't say anything else.

During the Lantern Festival, the whole capital was full of lanterns. Su Xinyi didn't feel like watching the lanterns and stayed at home. Su Jingmo grabbed Su Xixian and went out. If she didn't go out shopping, she would be scolded at home?

Su Chaoyan didn't go either. The wedding date was very close, so it was not good to show up.

When the two came back, they held lanterns in their hands, one for the brother and one for the sister. Su Xinyi's room was full of bright lanterns. Looking at these lanterns, she smiled quietly.

It's great.

After the Lantern Festival, the New Year was over. The eldest master and his men began to go to the government office to handle affairs. His Majesty opened the court, and the Duke of Qi's mansion was busy preparing for Su Chaoyan's wedding.

The wedding date of February 16 was very close.

Su Chaoyan had not yet married, and the news came from the palace that the first selection of the Eastern Palace would be held in early February, and all the ladies on the list would have to enter the palace for selection.

Su Xinyi's fourth wife wanted to prepare more than a dozen sets of clothes for her to enter the palace. Su Xinyi felt that it was too much, but the fourth wife still thought it was not enough. She looked at her and said, "How can these be enough? Although we are just going to go through the motions, we can't embarrass ourselves, right? Your grandmother asked the embroidery shop to embroider clothes for you a few years ago, and also ordered a few sets of jewelry from the Golden House. You are a girl from the Duke's Mansion, so you have to be stylish."

Su Xinyi listened and nodded, "I know, I won't embarrass my family."

The fourth wife smiled when she heard this, "It's not embarrassing, but we are all worried that the Queen will embarrass you because of Prince Rong's matter. You should be smart when you enter the palace and see the Queen."

"I know, mother, don't worry."

How could the fourth lady be at ease? She looked at her daughter and told her, "You saved Prince Rong's life, but the queen dared to do that. Now that you have been conferred the title of county lady, the queen will definitely not watch you enter the East Palace. When the time comes, you must let the queen know that you have no intention of the Crown Princess, so that she will not deliberately embarrass you."

Su Xinyi frowned slightly, "The queen can't keep staring at me, I will pay attention."

The fourth lady sighed, "Yes, maybe the queen has forgotten the previous things, so it's best."

Su Xinyi knew the queen's temper. Not only would she not forget, but because Prince Rong and the crown prince were doing the caravan together, she might even hate her even more.

She and the queen would always meet, sooner or later, so she said, "I will be careful, mother, don't worry."

"Why worry? The news came out this time that you ladies will stay in the palace for a while. The more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel. In short, you have to be careful. No matter who asks you to go out in the palace, you must bring a companion. If you really can't bring someone with you, you can fight if you are in danger. If something happens, you still have your family to support you. In short, you can't put yourself in danger." The fourth lady had a thousand words to tell her, afraid that Xinyi would not dare to cause trouble for the family and let the child suffer outside without saying a word.

If Su Xinyi was in her previous life, she might be worried and scared, but now she knows the queen very well and is not afraid at all, so she said, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

If the queen dares to plot against her, she will get back the loss of her previous life with interest!

－－－－－－－Off topic－－－－－－

Recently, the early morning update cannot be resumed. Our place has become a high-risk area. The children's return to school is far away. With two beasts at home, the update time is seriously shortened. I can only try my best to ensure continuous updates. Please understand. Tears come to my eyes. Every day when I wake up, I start to repeatedly wake up the eldest child to read in the morning, and then take the second child to make breakfast. After breakfast, I take pictures of each class for the eldest child and send them to the class group. I print various information papers sent by teachers and fill in various school information. At the same time, I must strictly prevent the second child from making trouble and delaying the elder sister's class. Then make lunch. After lunch, the children repeat all the actions in the morning in class. If the second child is obedient, I can squeeze out time to write some words. Otherwise, I can only wait for her to take a nap. If she doesn't take a nap, I will be miserable... In addition, I have to be ready for nucleic acid testing at any time. Now travel is restricted and playing in the community is not allowed. The second child is destroying the house every day at home. During the epidemic, I wish everyone well. Finally, thank you for your support. Thank you.
