Noble Lady

The crying faded away.

He Minzhi stared at Xue Chenyu with dissatisfaction, "Can't you just ask Doctor Xu for help?"

She is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. She was able to invite Doctor Xu before, so there is no reason why she cannot invite him now.

She wanted to too.

Xue Chenyu pondered for a moment. She wanted to divorce He Minzhi. If something went wrong with Liu at this time, it would be very disadvantageous to her.

She no longer cares about the He family's affairs, and lets He Minzhi and Ji Minrou mess around in the He family, especially He Ruyi's marriage.

Ji Minrou is short-sighted and has high expectations but poor skills. If He Minzhi asks her to arrange the wedding, the He family will definitely be embarrassed, and she has nothing to do with those things, so she can distance herself from them all.

She could even force He Minzhi to divorce her on the charge of adultery as a widow.

But with things getting like this, Mrs. Liu is so sick that she is almost dying, and she will inevitably be dragged down.

If Liu could no longer hold on and died, she would not only be unable to divorce He Minzhi legally, but would also have to observe mourning for the old lady.

She had to do something.

"I'll try my best to find a solution with Doctor Xu, but I can't guarantee it."

"You clearly could have invited me before..." Why are you refusing now? Are you unwilling to go?

"Master He!" Xue Chenyu interrupted him, "You know exactly what you did. I don't have the irresistible power that Your Majesty has."

"..." He Minzhi shut up feeling guilty.

"Master He, instead of being so angry and scornful, why don't you think carefully about how your sister will gain a foothold in the Cui family after what happened today, and how outsiders will view the He family."

She didn't have time to argue with him, so she pinched her eyebrows and left with the maid.

After her reminder, He Minzhi finally reacted and gave full authority to Ji Minrou about the marriage.

If we had done things as originally agreed, how could things have ended up like this?

Just looking at Ruyi's dowry, it was obvious that someone had tampered with it.

Today's situation must be related to Rouer!

"You, Xue, can you help me?" He Minzhi took two steps forward.

Xue Chenyu paused and looked back at him, "Master He, do you believe me?"

He Minzhi choked, "I don't disbelieve you. But I must know why things turned out like this."

"I'm afraid I'm wasting my time. Lord He, you're a rare talent, and a scholar of the Imperial Academy. I believe you can easily figure out the key points with just a little effort."

After saying this, she nodded slightly, then walked out of Ciwenyuan with her head held high and her chest puffed out.

She doesn't want to do anything that is thankless.

Let He Minzhi find out for himself what he did with his ridiculous and weak cousin in the study, then there will be a good show.

He Minzhi was so embarrassed by her that he couldn't say a word.

……

In the yard, the grass was waiting.

It was a hot day, and it was noon. She stood in the scorching sun, sweating profusely, but she didn't leave.

"Madam, I want to go see the old lady. Is that convenient?"

"Go ahead. I still need to go to the Jishan Hall. Someone needs to be taken care of there. You can go and help look after them." Xue Chenyu said with a smile, "Aunt Zhao's kindness is for you to take a good look at."

Xiaocao's eyes lit up and she immediately understood what Xue Chenyu meant.

"Thank you, madam." Xiaocao bowed, suppressed the joy on her face, and walked in with a worried look on her face.

Just now she saw Ji Minrou running back to her room crying. Now the old lady was lying in the room. The second girl was married, and the old lady needed someone right now.

It's a good opportunity for her to show off.

Moreover, she also had her own selfish motives. Ji Minrou must have been greedy for a lot of money when she got married. He had heard some of the conversation just now. If He Minzhi was asked to investigate it himself, he might not take it seriously, so she had to give him another push.

He Minzhi must be made to understand that Ji Minrou, who can spend ridiculous days with him in the study, is a greedy person.

After entering the house, He Minzhi saw that it was Xiaocao, and his face fell again, "Who asked you to come? What are you doing here? Go back to your own room."

Why would a concubine join in the fun?

Xiaocao knelt down in fear and trepidation and said, "Sir, it was Madam who sent me here. Madam was worried that the old lady might need something, and that Madam Huang and the others wouldn't have enough manpower to feed her medicine or something."

"Sir, although you are the old lady's biological son, men and women should not be intimate with each other, so it is not as convenient as us women. Given the old lady's current situation, it would be helpful to have more people to help take care of her, don't you think?"

He Minzhi said "hmm" and reluctantly agreed with this statement.

But he couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart. Xue Chenyu said that she didn't care about him on the surface, but in fact she still cared about him in her heart.

……

If Xue Chenyu knew what He Minzhi was thinking, she would definitely spit at him to his face.

At this moment, she went straight back to Furongju.

Although the He family was in bad luck, she still had a gloomy face and did not show any joy at all.

She wanted to embarrass He Ruyi, but using a fast horse to ram the wedding procession was a bad idea. What if someone died?

She knew that although Mother Li went out early and came back late to do her own work, she was also doing other things, but this incident was too much.

Mother Li was kneeling in the yard of Furongju at this moment.

Seeing Xue Chenyu coming back, Madam Li quickly knelt and walked towards her, "Please forgive me, young lady. This matter is all due to my poor planning and mistakes. I deserve to die."

Xue Chenyu stopped walking at a fast pace and looked at Mother Li, who had silver hair and was sweating profusely from the sun.

She is usually taciturn and does everything strictly according to the rules and regulations. She is a very serious person.

But putting aside those preconceived notions, in fact, Mother Li has a very kind face. If she didn't always look numb, she would seem to be an elder who is easy to get along with.

"Mother Li, although I don't know what grudge you have with the He family, I have never stopped you from seeking revenge on the He family. But where do you want to put me by doing this?!"

"That horse is running amok. What if someone gets killed? Have you ever thought about that?"

"How could you completely disregard the lives of others just because you wanted revenge? If someone hadn't stopped the horse in time, the interface would have been full of people, young and old, and there's no telling how many people would have been killed or injured!"

"Shocked, the horse is frightened?" Mother Li looked shocked.

She only heard that there was an accident during He Ruyi's wedding procession, and half of the dowry was filled with stones, which became a huge joke.

"Miss, I did arrange this secretly because of my personal grudge with the He family, but the startled horse crashing into the team was definitely not my arrangement!"

"I am already going to be punished, but what I did is what I did. If it's not what I did, it's not what I did. I will never do such a heinous thing!"

To show her sincerity, Mother Li kowtowed vigorously on the bluestone slab. "I originally arranged a group of beggars to ask for money from the newlyweds, but I didn't expect such a mistake to happen."

Xue Chenyu pondered for a moment, "It really wasn't you who frightened the horse?"

"It's really not true, young lady. I swear to heaven!"

As Mama Li spoke, she raised her hand and swore a poisonous oath to the heavens, "Old slave Li Lan, if I was responsible for scaring the horses of the He family's wedding procession today, I will not be able to die a peaceful death, and my husband and sons in the afterlife will not be able to rest in peace!"
