Noble Lady

Xue Chenyu walked out of the inner room wearing loose clothes, water still dripping from her hair, but her face was colder than the frost in December.

"What did you intend to do by barging in while I was bathing, Miss? You are a girl from the Qingliu family, yet you really have no manners at all."

Perhaps it was her cold gaze that intimidated He Ruyi, who became more reserved and spoke more slowly, "Sister-in-law, I have some questions to ask you."

"You said."

On the way here, He Ruyi heard Chunhua say that first, she didn't let her cousin live in Mingyu Pavilion, and then she dared to talk back to her mother, which made her eldest brother angry. She even used those broken furniture to entertain her cousin, which was simply outrageous.

"Mingyu Pavilion is empty, why do you insist on letting my cousin live in Ciwenyuan?"

Is it not crowded enough? Besides, my cousin is a widow and lives in Ciwenyuan. Do I still need to find a husband?

Xue Chenyu smiled sarcastically in her heart.

She originally thought that He Ruyi would be different.

After all, when she first got married, He Ruyi was still a timid and pitiful person who dared not speak loudly and had no sense of existence in the He family.

It was because she fed him with three meals of bird's nest a day, used the finest rouge and powder, and wore the finest silks and satins that He Ruyi had the elegance she has today.

"Speak, are you mute?" He Ruyi was annoyed when Xue Chenyu didn't reply. "I called you sister-in-law, and you really acted so arrogantly."

all the same.

The He family members are essentially the same, cold, hypocritical, selfish, and sophisticated egoists.

He Ruyi had just lived a decent life for a few days when the true face of the He family was exposed.

"Go away. I've said everything I need to say. I have nothing more to say to you."

He Ruyi: "I'm not leaving! You have to explain it to me clearly. If you don't explain it clearly today, I'm not going anywhere."

Xue Chenyu didn't want to look at her any longer, "Yuzhu, please ask them to leave."

"Yes, girl!"

Yuzhu put one hand on her waist, called over the two maids Qiuhua and Dongyue, and sent the guest away in a stern manner.

He Ruyi was so angry that she jumped up and down, "Xue, Xue, what are you doing? You are so bold!"

Qiuyue, who was behind, wanted to take action, but Chunhua was too timid to say a word.

In the end, He Ruyi was outnumbered and was driven out.

He could only jump in frustration and rage at the door of Furongju.

"This Xue is so bold! How dare she treat me like this! I'm the second daughter of the He family!"

The little girl's vocabulary is not very impressive, and she just repeats the same two sentences over and over again.

Su Zhi reminded him a little speechlessly, "Why don't you go and ask the adults to make the decision, Miss?"

She has turned a blind eye to this extent, and this second girl is also useless.

"Yes, I'm going to tell my brother that she bullied me! Yes, she bullied me!"

"Xue, if you have the guts, don't leave. I'll go find my eldest brother right now!"

After leaving behind these harsh words, He Ruyi hurriedly came and left with her two maids.

In the room.

Hearing that things had finally quieted down outside, Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief. "Why are these He family members acting like crazy, taking turns making trouble? Luckily, the young lady had the foresight to eat the bird's nest early, otherwise, that crazy Second Miss He would have really dared to snatch it away."

After saying that, he stared at the door and said, "Miss, Suzhi can't watch the door. It's too dangerous. If there is a next time..."

This is already clear.

Xue Chenyu nodded. She had already given Su Zhi a chance because she was from the Marquis's family. Since she didn't want her, there was no need for her to show mercy.

"Call someone over tomorrow morning, someone with a wide network of contacts."

"Also, notify the shop that from now on, no matter who in the He family goes to pick up something, they must pay for it themselves. If they can't pay, what will happen to them?"

Finally, he added, "It's not impossible to go to the door to collect the debt."

The golden hairpin with the butterfly-loving flower pattern on He Ruyi's head was not there when she went out this morning. It was not of such weight, but it was not taken from her. She did not have such heavy and flimsy jewelry.

She took a closer look at it and saw that the style and workmanship were indeed from Jinyu Pavilion, her dowry shop, and the market price was at least two or three hundred taels.

It turns out that the money in the account book is gone.

"Human boy?"

Yuzhu blinked in confusion. She understood the latter and it was very gratifying.

But if she sends someone over, will it be difficult to explain to the Marquis's Mansion if she wants to sell Suzhi out?

……

He Ruyi didn't get what she wanted at Furongju, so she went to find He Minzhi in anger.

But the servant in the study refused to let her in, and they continued to stalemate for a while. After Chunhua reminded her, she remembered that dinner was ready. No matter how hard she tried to rush back, she couldn't make it in time for dinner.

The old lady didn't leave any food for her, so when she arrived, all that was left was the leftovers at the bottom of the plate.

"Mother, why are you..."

Before she could throw a tantrum, the old lady coldly rebuked her, "With so many elders in the family, are they supposed to wait for a junior like you to start their meal?! How can this be proper?"

He Ruyi was immediately speechless, "I, I didn't..."

"You still dare to quibble? I think you are becoming more and more unruly. Why don't you go back and reflect on your mistakes!"

The old lady gave orders, and no one at the table spoke up for He Ruyi. Instead, they all criticized her, saying that this was the He family's rule and that dinner would be served on time. She wasn't a three-year-old child, so how could she miss it? She even contradicted her elders in person.

He Ruyi couldn't handle so many mouths and could only go back in disgrace.

Ji Minrou had been waiting at her door long ago. When she saw her come back, she immediately brought out a meal and said, "Cousin, I saved a portion for you. Please eat as you please."

He Ruyi took a look at the watery soup with a few bean sprouts, two plates of pickles, and two slices of meat, and thought that even pigs wouldn't eat this stuff.

But on the surface he pretended to be polite and let Qiuyue take it over.

"Thank you, cousin. You are so kind to me."

As soon as Ji Minrou left, Qiuyue fell down and said, "How dare you put something in front of me that even pigs won't eat."

Then he said in a domineering tone, "Chunhua, go to the kitchen and ask them to cook me some delicious dishes."

Ji Minrou served the meal gently and virtuously, and then considerately said that she would not disturb He Ruyi's meal and then took her leave.

In fact, when he returned to the room, his expression changed.

He Ruyi, this idiot, still loves to show off as always. Unfortunately, although he looks much whiter and his clothes and jewelry are very gorgeous, he is still a brainless person and has not made any progress.

She had been wanting to say this during the day. Where did her little sister come from? If she wasn't the sister-in-law of Xue Chenyu, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an, how many girls from aristocratic families in the capital would be willing to associate with He Ruyi? She couldn't even get into her house.

Why would she go to a poetry reading when she is completely uneducated and can barely recognize a few characters?

Forget about writing poetry, can she even understand what she read?

Xiaocao also looked down on the second girl.
