The Regent Princess has run away again

Prime Minister Xue, who had rarely spoken, became so angry when he heard this that his chest heaved violently. Without waiting for Madam Xue to say anything, he quickly walked over and kicked the door open.

The two people who were originally doing primitive exercises in the room saw the person kicking the door, their faces filled with panic, and they quickly separated.

Especially Xue Yulu, who was still in a state of love, suddenly came to her senses when she saw Prime Minister Xue and the female relatives behind him. She looked at Xue Zhiyu who was standing next to Prime Minister Xue with resentment in her eyes.

"Evil creature! Hurry up and put on your clothes and get out!" Prime Minister Xue waved his sleeves angrily and walked out.

Xue Zhiyu didn't expect it to be like this. She saw the naked resentment on Xue Yulu's face when she looked at her, but she didn't do anything. She just knocked her out. She shrugged her shoulders and followed her out.

.........

The two men put on their clothes and stood in front of Prime Minister Xue, but their expressions were different.

Master Cai looked indifferent. To him, it was just another concubine. Although the object was not that girl, she was still the second daughter of the legitimate family. Maybe she would be helpful to his career in the future.

"You are simply reckless! You are doing something that brings shame to our Xue family in broad daylight!"

"Dad! My daughter was framed!" Xue Yulu said hastily without caring about anything else, and then pointed at Xue Zhiyu, "It was her! She is the one who harmed me!"

"Sister, I know you don't like me, but you can't just say something irresponsible. Why would you do this when we have no grudges against each other? Besides, I just got here, could it be that I have foresight?"

After being confronted by Xue Zhiyu, Xue Yulu said "you" a few times, not knowing what to say in retort, so she had to turn to look at Madam Xue, her eyes full of help-seeking expression.

She couldn't marry him and become his concubine. After all, she was the noble second daughter of the emperor. How could a mere son of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue be worthy of her?

Madam Xue glared at her and motioned for her not to speak. Then she said helplessly and distressedly, "Master, don't you know what kind of child Lu'er is? How could someone harm herself? She must have been framed. Please, Master, seek justice for Lu'er." After saying that, she gave a look to Master Cai.

Master Cai has been staring at Xue Zhiyu since he came out. If he could take such a beautiful woman into his house, wouldn't he be happy every day?

Thinking of this, the lust in his eyes became even stronger, and he didn't notice the look Madam Xue gave her at all, which made Madam Xue so angry that she wanted to drag him over.

He didn't see it, but that didn't mean Xue Zhiyu didn't see it. Xue Zhiyu's lips curled up slightly, and she turned around and said to Prime Minister Xue with a feeling of being touched, "Dad, I think my second sister must like this Mr. Cai very much, otherwise how could she do such a thing? How about helping them? My second sister should get married, and besides, a woman's innocence is so important. Mr. Cai must be responsible for my second sister."

After saying that, she squeezed out a few tears pitifully towards Master Cai, which made those star-like eyes covered with a layer of mist, which made people couldn't help but feel love and pity for him.

Master Cai was stunned again, nodded subconsciously, and then said seriously, "Yes, Third Miss is right, Second Miss did give her virginity to me, and I will be responsible for her. I will ask the matchmaker to come to propose marriage someday, and she will be my eighth concubine."

Prime Minister Xue also nodded and glanced at the two of them. Although he was still a little dissatisfied, he sighed and said, "Alas, that's the only way. Madam, you will be responsible for this matter. I'm tired."

Xue Yulu became even more anxious when she heard this. She said without thinking, "Dad, I don't want to marry him! I don't want to be a concubine. It's him...he forced me to do it, Dad!"

"Look at what the Second Miss said. If I was wishful thinking, she would have pushed me away. Why do you enjoy it so much?" Master Cai raised his eyebrows and looked at Xue Yulu with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"You!!!" Xue Yulu didn't expect him to speak so bluntly. Her face suddenly turned red and she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Enough!! Let's decide it this way. It's time for the second son to calm down. You are all going to get married," Prime Minister Xue said and left without looking back.

Seeing that Prime Minister Xue had left, Xue Yulu knew that she was finished. Even her mother couldn't save her. She could only marry this playboy and become one of his eight concubines. She was so unwilling! !

It’s all Xue Zhiyu’s fault. Wouldn’t it be better if she just accepted my schemes? Why did she suddenly become so smart? It would have been better if she had stayed cowardly.

Master Cai walked over with a smile and bowed to Madam Xue. "Madam, I will ask the matchmaker to come to your house to propose marriage in a few days. I will also prepare the wedding dress. I have something to do now, so I will leave first."

Madam Xue hummed with difficulty, her face pale. If she hadn't been supported by her maid, she would have collapsed.

After Master Cai left, Madam Xue asked the servants to go first. Xue Zhiyu looked around and thought there was nothing for her to do, so she prepared to follow suit. But Madam Xue suddenly called her.

"Zhiyu, I'll have someone send some desserts over later. Go back and have a good rest today."

"Well, thank you for your understanding, mother. I'll go back first," Xue Zhiqing turned around and smiled at Mrs. Xue, then turned around and walked out of the yard quickly with Xiaoqiu.

Watching the two people walking away, Xue Yulu looked resentful, "Mother, why are you so nice to that bitch? It was obviously she who made me like this, and made me marry that Master Cai and become his concubine."

Madam Xue couldn't help but slapped her hard, "How dare you say that? I was originally planning to let that bitch marry him, but you stuck to her and got tricked instead. I don't know who you look like?!"

Xue Yulu lowered her head in grievance, a hint of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, but she didn't speak again.

"Okay, go back first. Behave yourself these few days and don't provoke that bitch."

Although she was very reluctant, Xue Yulu nodded obediently and walked out with her maid.

........

the other side.

Xue Zhiyu saw a letter on the desk, frowned in confusion, turned to Xiaoqiu and asked, "When was this letter delivered?"

"This letter was brought in by Chunrong. It was delivered by Madam Li's personal maid. She said that after you read it, you can go to the general's mansion immediately."

Sent by Madam Li?

Xue Zhiyu quickly opened the envelope. There was very little content in the letter and it didn't go into detail, but she could tell from the words that the matter was quite serious.

"Okay, let's go to the General's Mansion now."

"Yes, ma'am."

The two of them came in for a while and soon walked out again.

........

In the general's mansion, Madam Li had already walked back and forth in the front hall several times, looking towards the door from time to time, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

"Lingru, why don't we ask a folk doctor to take a look. Is that little girl reliable?" The man sitting at the upper seat couldn't help but speak as he saw his wife's anxious look.

"No, I believe in that girl. My intuition tells me that she will bring me different surprises."

The man opened his mouth, then sighed and said nothing more.

The carriage stopped in front of the General's Mansion. Xue Zhiyu got off the carriage, walked forward, rang the door knocker and knocked.

"Excuse me, young lady, who are you?" The servant inside opened the door and looked Xue Zhiyu up and down. Seeing that she was well-dressed, his tone became polite as well.

"I'm Miss Xue San, please let me know."

Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper quickly opened the door completely and gestured for you to come in. "Madam has told us, I will take you to the front hall now."

"Okay, please."

After walking around a few paths, Xue Zhiyu was in a hurry and had no time to appreciate the plants and trees here. She quickly followed the servants into the front hall.

"Madam, Miss Xue San is here."

Mrs. Li, who was still walking on the spot, heard this, as if she had heard some very good news. Her eyes lit up, and before Xue Zhiyu could say anything, she walked up to her, grabbed her hand and said hurriedly, "Miss Third, please come with me," and then pulled her out.

The man who was originally sitting also stood up and walked out together.

Madam Li took Xue Zhiyu and walked into a place full of bamboos. Not far from the bamboos was a bedroom, and coughing sounds could be heard from inside from time to time.

"Mother, how are you? Are you feeling better today?" Madam Li came over and held Xue Zhiyu's hand. She walked to the bed and squatted down, holding the old lady's hand on the bed, her eyes full of worry.

"Cough cough cough cough... I feel better today, Lingru. You've worked so hard. You don't have to waste your time on an old woman like me. Maybe your father wants me to accompany him."

After the old lady finished speaking, she coughed heavily a few times, and her slightly sick face became even paler because of this coughing.

"Mother! What are you talking about? Father wishes you could live a hundred years, that's why he doesn't want you to go to accompany him so soon. Please say it again," Mrs. Li frowned. She couldn't bear to hear the old lady say these words.

The old lady smiled but said nothing. Instead, she looked at Xue Zhiyu behind Madam Li. She stared at her for a long time before asking, "Lingru, who is this?"

"Oh, this is the third young lady of the Xue family. She is here to treat your illness."

Xue Zhiyu took a step forward obediently and bowed, "Hello, old lady. I am the third daughter of the Xue family. I am a pharmacist, that is, a female doctor."

"Even the imperial doctors are helpless against my illness, let alone a girl. Lingru, although I am old, don't think I am easy to fool," the old lady waved her hand without any disbelief, and continued, "You guys go, I don't want to pass on my illness to you."

"Ma'am, would you mind if I checked your throat?"

Xue Zhiyu ignored the old lady's words and walked forward and spoke slowly.
