Noble Lady

Mrs. Xue also hated herself. She had a great reputation in her life, but she almost ruined it at the hands of this dowry maid.

"I shouldn't have thought you were always honest. I actually believed your lies and let you follow me to the He family. If it weren't for my Yu'er's ability to stand on his own, he would have been deceived by you and taken countless detours! I don't even know how he died!"

She simply couldn't bear to think about it. If Yu'er had been a little more gullible and soft-tempered, and listened to what Xu said more, she didn't know what would have happened to her sooner or later.

They were planning to let Yu'er be bullied to death by the He family and then kicked out, so they could come out and save the damsel in distress?!

Just thinking about it made her want to strangle this scheming old man to death.

"I'm doing this for the girl's own good... Every woman regards her husband as her..." Even now, Mother Xu is still making excuses for herself.

"You fart!"

Before he could utter the word "天", he was interrupted fiercely by Mrs. Xue.

"I gave you and your son a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it and even made things worse."

"Just wait, I will never let you and your son have an easy time!"

Mrs. Xue was really angry this time and asked Mother He to call someone to gag Mother Xu and drag her away.

Mother Xu wanted to scream but couldn't. Her eyes were wide open and her face was full of fear.

She knew she was really finished this time.

Even her son and her peace would be destroyed.

……

Mrs. Xue acted so decisively, but she only told others that Mother Xu was ill and sent the capable Mother Li instead.

However, when Marquis Wu'an came back, she still picked out some of the things she said.

She was the first one to discover that Sun Ping'an had that idea.

That was the first year that Sun Ping'an went to study with the Second Master. At the end of the year, it was a holiday and Sun Ping'an was a book boy, so he naturally followed the Second Master back from the academy.

Most people would miss their parents after being away from home for a few months, but when he came back, he didn't want to talk much to his own parents. He just said a few simple words to them and kept asking about the fish.

The servants heard it and secretly passed the message to me.

She felt something was wrong at the time, so she asked someone to secretly keep an eye on Sun Ping'an. She soon discovered that he was trying to sneak into Furongju where Yu'er lived, and the person she sent was caught red-handed.

She met him in person, and before the New Year was over, she had Sun Ping'an sent to the countryside.

But this matter involved her daughter's reputation, so it was not good to do it in a high-profile manner. Besides, the Second Master was quite comfortable using him, so she didn't say anything more.

Just a reminder to Second Master, don't keep this person around.

The second master was not someone who really liked studying. He was forced to go by the Marquis and had no choice but to do so reluctantly.

Later, he simply gave up literature and joined the army, leaving Sun Ping'an in the academy and releasing him with a bond.

Unexpectedly, Sun Ping'an actually passed the imperial examination and got a degree.

But he said he wanted to go back to the Marquis' Mansion. How could she let him go? So she asked someone to keep him in the academy.

I thought that after sending him away, the matter would be over, but I didn't expect that after so many years, he still had such evil intentions.

After marrying a wife, he still thinks about his daughter.

What a bold thing.

Xu's mother was a traitor and wanted to collude with her son, so He Minzhi couldn't help but mention that Xue Chenyu looked down on him while eating, using and living with her.

Lord Xue couldn't believe his ears. "You! You hid such a big thing from me for so many years."

"Fortunately, our Yu'er can stand on her own. If it were any other girl..." He didn't dare to think further.

The child of a family slave actually dared to covet his beloved daughter, and even teamed up with his own mother to plot against her.

I should have known this family was so heartless and ungrateful.

How can such a morally corrupt person be qualified to be a teacher, and not be afraid of corrupting other people's children!

"You actually put that kind of person next to Yu'er. You really think your daughter is lucky."

"From the beginning, I didn't want you to marry her to that He Minzhi. It was you who said that given our family's situation, only then would she have a good life. I listened to you and prepared a generous dowry, but how can this be considered a good life?"

"Xue Cheng, you're still blaming me, right? You're the only one who cares about your girl, and I'm not, right?"

Marquis Xue was immediately deflated, and the eyes of this tall and strong man were red.

"It's my fault for not being capable enough to send my daughter into a den of tigers and wolves."

If I had known this earlier, I would not have stopped Prince Cheng from proposing marriage.

At least the kid was sincere.

But he was also worried about the deep waters of the royal family. If anything happened, the Wu'an Marquisate would not be able to support her and would also implicate her.

It would be better to let her marry into an ordinary family. After all, the title of the Marquis' Mansion could still keep her in check. But I didn't expect it to be like this.

Mrs. Xue also had tears in her eyes. "Forget it. This is the way the world is. Can you really turn the world upside down by yourself?"

Although her family, the Jiang family, was rich, they were targeted by many people because they were just businessmen. Later, she married into the Wu'an Marquis Mansion and things got better.

But in recent years, as the business grew bigger and bigger, and the court emphasized culture over military power, the marquis's mansion gradually became unable to take care of itself.

She hoped that her daughter would have a stable life, so no matter how many families proposed to her, she would still be hesitant and did not want her to go to those wealthy families and suffer from criticism.

After much selection, I finally came across the He family.

The old lady of the He family sent someone to propose marriage, and also went to the house herself, repeatedly saying that after their eldest son married a girl from the Xue family, he would never take a concubine.

I originally thought that although their family was in decline, they were still a noble family with a simple family structure. He Minzhi had good talent and was a promising young man.

As long as he is given some money to pave the way for his son-in-law, with this initial support, they can enjoy a long-lasting love in the future.

Based on various considerations, I let my daughter marry him.

Unexpectedly, a family is worried without a daughter-in-law, and a new bride is bullied by everyone in the family.

Her fish have always been sensible, and she never has the heart to make them worry.

In the little over a year since she got married, I don’t know how much injustice she must have suffered to have thought of divorce.

"At this point, it's useless for us to blame each other." The Marquis said with emotion, "As for Sun Ping'an's matter, I will send someone to the academy."

"My Lord, you've been busy with these things lately, so let me handle them."

Yu'er had sent a letter before, saying that she wanted to sever her ties with Sun Ping'an as soon as possible. At that time, she only wondered if Yu'er knew something, but now she realized that she had been misjudging the issue.

Yu'er would not know Sun Ping'an's dirty thoughts, otherwise, he would not have acted like this today.

That's why she handled the matter of Xu's mother calmly.

"That's fine. Thank you for your concern, Madam." Marquis Wu'an bowed sincerely to Madam Xue.

This made Mrs. Xue feel at a loss. "Why are you saying all this for no reason?"

After a pause, she realized something, and her eyes suddenly darkened, "Did you just send the prince back?"

Yes, something important must have happened that required him to do something, otherwise he wouldn't be like this.

Marquis Wu'an hesitated for a moment and nodded.

When he sent the prince back, something did happen. The couple had originally agreed to take Xue Huai to personally invite Mr. Lu, but now it seems that this cannot be done.
