Noble Lady

"How can you be blamed for this? She's just timid and easily frightened. That's why she can't think straight for a moment."

He Minzhi held her in his arms emotionally, without any doubt about her words.

Next.

The two of them naturally rolled together.

Shi Tou had already closed the door, blocking out some of the obscene music that was not suitable for children.

……

The next day was He Minzhi's day off.

Early in the morning, he came to Furongju in high spirits and said he wanted to see Xue Chenyu.

Yuzhu politely said that the girl had not woken up yet, so she served tea and asked him to wait.

After he finished his second cup of tea and felt like urinating, Xue Chenyu finally arrived.

It's almost May and the weather is getting hotter.

Today, Xue Chenyu was only wearing a bamboo green chest-length skirt embroidered with black bamboo, with a white Tencel double-breasted blouse on top, and a small jacket embroidered with black bamboo in the same color on the outside.

Even today's embroidered shoes have bamboo embroidery on them.

Besides being delicate and beautiful, she also has a cool feeling.

Not easy to approach.

He Minzhi couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Suddenly, I met a pair of cold eyes.

"Master He, please sit down."

He Minzhi felt embarrassed as if he was caught peeking, but as shameless as he was, he quickly found a reason to comfort himself.

Xue was his legally married wife, so there was no need for him to peek at her.

He was watching openly.

"Master He, have you found out everything?" Xue Chenyu went straight to the point and didn't bother to say any more nonsense.

"Of course I've checked it out. There's a misunderstanding about this matter. I will explain it to Jixiang personally."

After a pause, he continued, "Cousin Rou'er also grew up in the He family. She is kind-hearted and compassionate. How could she intentionally want to kill Jixiang? She would never do such a thing."

Xue Chenyu really wanted to ask him: If she can't do it? Then who else can do it?

She snorted coldly.

He Minzhi was afraid that she wouldn't believe him, so he was ready to tell her all the reasons Ji Minrou had given him.

Xue Chenyu had no time to listen to his stupid words to fool people.

"Master He, it's fine if you believe in those extremely stupid things, but don't assume that others are the same as you. I have a brain and I also have eyes. I can see right from wrong with my eyes and think with my brain."

"The Fourth Miss is seriously injured. She won't be able to get out of bed for ten days or half a month. I won't be able to hear your explanation in person. Lord He, just lie to yourself about what you said."

After saying that, he ordered Yuzhu, "Show the guests away!"

Yuzhu and several other maids joined forces and kicked He Minzhi out of the house.

When he stood at the door of Furongju, he came to his senses. Xue Chenyu was calling him stupid and blind!

This is simply unreasonable.

But when he tried to go in again, the door was already closed.

And it was bolted from the inside.

"Okay, okay, you're so good, Xue Chenyu. Just wait for me, if one day you ask something of me!" He Minzhi angrily said this and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Yumei listened through the door, then came back and learned it for Xue Chenyu.

The latter ate the porridge that Yuzhu had just brought him and said nonchalantly, "That's just his imagination."

Who can't make a harsh statement? But he has to be able to do it.

Beg him? Don't let him beg her later, that would be funny.

"Miss, it's not a big deal that you're always throwing tantrums with your uncle... No, Master He. You're husband and wife after all."

Mother Xu, who had been very obedient since she came back, finally began to express her different opinions.

"Huh?" Xue Chenyu looked at her in confusion: "Mother Xu said I was throwing a tantrum?"

"Miss, I know you have always been soft-hearted. It's definitely not your fault, but Lord He is your husband after all. A wife always regards her husband as her God. What you are doing is really inappropriate. If my wife knew, she would also persuade you."

"Besides, you were brought into the He family by Lord He, with three letters and six ceremonies, and a sedan chair carried by eight men. He has to respect you no matter what, so why are you angry with him?"

"A wife's husband is her heaven..."

Xue Chenyu pondered these words, the corners of her mouth raised, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

"From what Mother Xu said, it seems that no matter what the husband does wrong, the wife should unconditionally coax him and praise him, in exchange for him looking at her with a higher regard."

"But how can someone who flatters others unconditionally make others look up to them? Isn't this contradictory, Mother Xu?"

Mother Xu immediately showed an embarrassment. "I don't understand what you are talking about. I am not as well educated as you, so I don't understand those big principles. I only know that women always put their husbands first."

"Young lady, you are so angry with Lord He. The couple is alienated and never together. How can their relationship last?"

Xue Chenyu sneered in her heart: Why should I stay with this kind of guy for a long time?

"Thank you for your concern, Mother Xu, but this is not your concern."

Mother Xu sighed, but she hadn't given up yet. "My dear, I was the one Madam chose for you as a dowry, so it's my duty to advise you. If this couple is not getting along, having a child is the solution. What's the problem?"

"Besides, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Not to mention that there's just one more cousin in the mansion, even if Lord He wants to take in two intimate maids, that's a common thing."

"Young lady, as the wife of the first wife and the head of the household, you must let people know that you are broad-minded. Otherwise, if word gets out, people will say that you are petty, jealous, and intolerant, which will be detrimental to the reputation of you and the Marquisate."

Xue Chenyu had no intention of arguing with Mother Xu about these things. Her mind was narrow and her knowledge was limited. No matter how much she said to her, she wouldn't understand.

If Ji Minrou was just a homeless girl, still young and being raised in the He Mansion, it would be fine.

Even if she had been married and was a widow, it wouldn't be a big deal to take her in.

But is she a decent person? Her parents and brothers are still alive, but she relies on pretending to be pitiful to stay in the He family, and uses this as an excuse to pretend to be weak, and has an affair with He Minzhi behind people's backs.

This couldn't be someone forcing her.

And how can someone like He Minzhi, who cannot distinguish right from wrong, black from white, and only cares about his own interests, be a good person?

On the one hand, he wanted the money and power of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion to pave the way for him, and on the other hand, he looked down on her. He was greedy while having his cake and eating it too. What was there to keep such a person for?

Now, let alone trying to keep her, she won't even want me to give her money.

"So, if Mother Xu had a daughter, she would also be willing to let her marry He Minzhi, who is greedy for more?"

Mother Xu was suddenly speechless.

Because she does have a daughter, and she doesn't want her daughter to marry someone who is greedy.

So what if he is a Hanlin? Marrying him will only bring you a better reputation, but the rest will be endless suffering.

Moreover, their family does not have as much wealth as the girl's to support a large family like the He family.

"I have spoken too much, please punish me, young lady."

"Mother Xu is old too. If you feel really tired, just tell me and I'll give you some money and send you back to the countryside to retire."

Mrs. Xu, who was about to put on airs, suddenly came to her senses and quickly took her leave.
