Noble Lady

However, Xue Chenyu changed her mind and felt that it was a good thing that the matter was resolved this way.

We can send her out as soon as possible so that she won’t be dragged down by the He family anymore.

Of course, she originally planned to rent a small courtyard for He Jixiang to live in, and then hire a few servants to look after her, so that she could get married there later.

Now that she had a direct falling out with He Minzhi, she felt that it would be better to send him to the Marquis' Mansion.

With A Niang looking after him, even if He Minzhi felt angry one day, he would not be able to harm her.

But she still had to ask her mother's opinion.

He Jixiang is a smart girl who has distanced herself from He Minzhi. She will definitely have a bright future.

If the second branch was smarter, it should have cut ties with the first branch of the He family earlier.

With He Minzhi's way of committing suicide, it won't take long for the He family to fall.

Maybe it won’t take three years.

Thinking of this, Xue Chenyu pulled He Jixiang aside and talked to him again.

She simply told her to recover from her injuries and that she would take care of the rest of her affairs. She also told her to be more careful in the future and not to be impulsive.

He Jixiang also agreed to all of them.

Seeing how well-behaved she was, Xue Chenyu couldn't help but touch her head, and felt more and more that her "meddling" behavior was right.

Although it is not known how high a rank Captain Chen will be promoted to in the future, nor how much He Jixiang will be able to do after marrying him, if there are many Captain Chens and many He Jixiangs, there will always be a few who will be promoted.

Then when something happened in Wu'an Marquis' Mansion, there would be more possibilities.

Although Xue Huai has decided to study now, He Minzhi is unlikely to deceive him easily, but the Wu'an Marquis Mansion is connected to the Jiang family and has huge wealth, so it is inevitable that other people will covet it.

One even suspected that the person who overthrew the Wu'an Marquisate in the previous life did so for the money of the Marquisate and the Jiang family.

In her previous life, after the Marquis' Mansion collapsed, all the money was confiscated into the national treasury. She knew this, but she was also deeply shocked. During that time, she was unable to take care of herself and did not care about Jiang's maternal grandfather.

When she recovered and tried to contact the Jiang family, she was kicked out with her gifts.

The servants of the Jiang family also passed on the message that the ancestor said that the Marquis' Mansion was gone and the aunt had passed away, so there was nothing to do with her in the Jiang family anymore, and they should not have any contact in the future and just live their own lives.

Since then, there has been no basic communication even during festivals and holidays.

Later, she heard that the Jiang family's business was not greatly affected, but she was turned away, so naturally it was impossible for her to go again.

At that time, she felt angry. The Marquis' Mansion was in chaos, and even the Jiang family abandoned her after her mother left.

But now that I think about it, I always feel like something is not right.

It seemed that the people who accompanied her to Jiang's house at that time were Suzhi and Xu's mother?

Xue Chenyu finally remembered this and slapped her forehead hard, making a loud noise.

"Girl, what are you doing?" Yuzhu was startled.

When I pulled Xue Chenyu's hand away, I saw that her forehead and palms were red from slapping.

"It's okay, I just remembered some old things." Xue Chenyu took out a handkerchief as if nothing had happened, held it in his hand, and didn't know what he was thinking about.

Yuzhu and the others didn't dare to speak loudly, but just followed him into the house quietly.

Only Yumei received Yuzhu's instructions and stayed behind to pack up the pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

The little girl looked at Xue Chenyu's back and shook her head.

"Junior Master, oh Junior Master, why weren't you angry at the beginning? You let the girl marry a useless guy like He Minzhi." She muttered softly.

But then I thought, if He Minzhi was not useless, it would not be the turn of the junior master to exert his strength.

No, if Junior Master had come to his senses earlier and won the beauty, the young lady wouldn't have to endure this. Look at what kind of people are in the He family!

……

However, He Minzhi was thinking of returning to the study with the silver note of 3,600 taels, but halfway there he thought that he should find someone to arrange the wedding first.

He has to go to the Hanlin Academy to work every day, so he certainly doesn't have time to keep an eye on the family. Someone has to keep an eye on these things happening in the backyard.

So the first thing he wanted to do was to find Zhang, but Zhang was now claiming to be sick. She had finally gotten rid of this hot potato, so how could she possibly get involved in this mess again?

Therefore, when He Minzhi arrived at the second house, Zhang had already claimed to the outside world that she could no longer get up.

Having said that, anything he says would be unreasonable.

"Why are they all getting sick at this time?" They really know how to pick the right time.

Whether he's really afraid or just pretending, it's both frustrating.

He Minzhi was suddenly worried.

If he were to go back and ask Xue Chenyu to arrange He Ruyi's marriage, he would not be able to open his mouth no matter what.

After thinking about it, he went into Ji Minrou's room.

"How come you have time to come here, cousin?" He came just after dark. Ji Minrou was overjoyed.

He Minzhi had a calm expression on his face, but he didn't have that kind of thought.

Ji Minrou has always been a person who can read people's expressions and can tell at a glance that he is worried about something.

But there is no need to look at it. Liu is still sick now. How can he not be worried?

"Cousin, if you have any concerns, please tell me and I can help you share some of them."

"My cousin should all know the situation at home. Mother is ill. Ruyi's marriage was originally entrusted to Second Aunt, but now Second Aunt is also ill. You also know the one at Furongju. Ruyi's marriage cannot be delayed for a single day."

"What does cousin mean?"

"Ruyi's wedding is coming up soon, and the family needs a backbone. I can't find anyone to take care of this matter right now."

"What do you think of me, cousin?"

He Minzhi was stunned for a moment. What did she mean?

"Cousin, you heard right. There's no one in the mansion who can take charge of the situation right now. Rou'er is worried about you, too."

"Rou'er grew up in the He family, so I have some responsibilities for this family. If you trust me, I'm willing to take on this responsibility. Until my aunt and the second old lady get better, I'll help you look after the family for the time being."

He Minzhi hesitated for a while.

What he was thinking was that although there was no precedent for letting a daughter-to-be to be married personally arrange her wedding, at the very least the second wife would have two wives and a daughter.

But now everyone in the second house fell ill, and Xue Chenyu was unwilling to go back and beg for help.

Ji Minrou became his only choice.

After thinking it over again and again, He Minzhi nodded.

Ji Minrou was secretly delighted.

Her hard work for so long was worth it, and finally the results came.

So, without going through the old lady Liu, who was in charge of the house, or Zhang, who was the current head of the house, He Minzhi directly handed over the affairs of the mansion to Ji Minrou.

If this got out, people would laugh at him, but he couldn't care less at the moment.

……

Logically speaking, Liu should have known about the matter of asking Ji Minrou to arrange He Ruyi's wedding when she woke up.

But because Ji Minrou was there, she bribed Huang's mother and actually suppressed the news.

When He Minzhi went to pay his respects, he only said that he had settled the matter and borrowed money from someone. However, he refused to reveal a single word about who the other party was or what background he came from.

He was so secretive that Liu thought the person who lent him the money was his friend in officialdom, so she didn't ask too many questions.
