Noble Lady

Because of mistakenly believing a few sweet words from a crappy man, a good family was torn apart and everyone in the family was destroyed.

How sad.

It is natural for Mother Li to want revenge.

Xue Chenyu sighed and sipped her tea slowly. "But you've already let it go. You haven't mentioned it in all these years. What opportunity prompted you to rekindle your desire for revenge?"

Mother Li looked at Xue Chenyu who was sitting at the top.

She lowered her eyes and looked away, as if she was a god, unable to bear to see the suffering of the world.

It also seems to be able to see into people's hearts. Although he is skimming the tea foam so gently, it gives people an invisible sense of oppression.

Qi Niang also looked at Mother Li nervously, "Godmother, please don't hide this from the girl anymore."

She had many things left unsaid, but her struggle could be seen from her face and eyes.

Her godmother treated her well and regarded her as her own child. Putting herself in her shoes, she naturally felt sorry for the suffering her godmother had endured.

So if her godmother wanted to take revenge, she would not stop her and would even help her.

But this incident has hurt innocent people.

Especially girls.

She was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an. Everyone had seen how well the Marquis and his wife treated helpless people like them. She felt extremely guilty that the girl had to kneel at the gate of Jishan Hall for three days and nights.

"I..." After a brief inner struggle, Mother Li finally gave up the idea. "Please forgive me, young lady. I was just daydreaming."

She knelt on the ground, seeming to accept her fate.

"After Suyun passed away, I didn't have any ambitions anymore. I just did some odd jobs here and there, living a muddled life. Later, I happened to meet the Marquis's wife. Seeing that I worked diligently and didn't talk much, she asked me if I would be willing to work for her and help look after some of her things."

Xue Chenyu seemed to have thought of something, put down the teacup, and frowned slightly, "Then what about your grudge with the He family..."

"Madam only knows that my husband and child are dead, and there is no one else in the family. She doesn't know about my relationship with the He family, and I haven't told anyone about it over the years."

Mother Li quickly said, "After the accident, my wife came to me to find out."

What a bad fate.

Kyoto is so big, but people who have grudges against the He family just happened to work in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

At the beginning, many people wanted to marry her, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an, but she, Xue Chenyu, ended up marrying into the He family after many twists and turns.

Some things are like there is always a hand pushing you forward.

However, Mother Li's identity was revealed, and she seemed to understand why He Jixiang in his previous life lived a good life after getting married.

In her previous life, Mother Li never came to the He family and never revealed her true feelings to herself. She must have been secretly helping He Jixiang.

However, in this life, because she kicked Mother Xu out, Mother Li had a natural excuse to come to the He family and plot against He Ruyi.

"How much do you know about He Ruyi's journey to get married?"

"I, the old servant, have grown up a bit in the Marquis' Mansion. I understand that the young lady is now the wife of the He family. If anything happens to the He family, they will definitely be implicated. So I dare not do anything too extreme."

"I just secretly had someone keep an eye on He Ruyi and the cousin Ji Minrou who was in charge of the household. It would have been easy for me to discover that Ji Minrou, under the guise of buying He Ruyi's dowry, had taken the money and lavishly bought her own private property."

"Not only that, she was afraid that He Minzhi and Liu would find out, so she even got some inferior goods to fool He Ruyi and pass them off as good ones."

"The reason they used the stone as a fake was because He Minzhi had boasted about giving her sister a grand wedding and not wanting the Cui family to look down on them. She had already spent a lot of money on the house, and she couldn't afford those things right away, so she had to use the stone as a fake."

Mother Li also said that it was only after she learned about these circumstances that she thought of hiring some little beggars to overturn the dowry and let everyone in Kyoto come and laugh at the He family.

Although you can't get revenge in one go, you can still vent your anger!

However, no one knew her plan and took advantage of it, scaring the horse and almost causing a loss of life.

Hearing this, Xue Chenyu, who had been very serious, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It seems that Mother Li is very clear about the ins and outs of Ji Minrou stealing He Minzhi's money to buy private property.

"Mother Li, are you willing to atone for your sins?"

Hearing this, Mother Li was overjoyed.

"At your command, young lady!"

"Tell Mrs. Liu everything you know about Ji Minrou using her power to acquire private property. Ask her to conduct a thorough investigation. If you can make Ji Minrou suffer a lot, or turn the He family upside down, I can let this matter go."

What a great opportunity.

Although she was going to divorce He Minzhi, she was happy to see him living in such a mess!

"Are you serious, girl?"

As long as I tell someone what I know, I can be exempted from responsibility. Isn't this like a free opportunity?!

Mother Li had no time to hesitate. She happily pulled Qiniang to kowtow to Xue Chenyu and thanked her profusely.

"You don't have to thank me so quickly. If you fail to do your job well, you will be punished for all your crimes. You don't have to appear in front of me anymore."

Mother Li said happily, "I will never let you down."

After solemnly saying take care again and again, he took Qiniang away.

Until the tasks assigned by Xue Chenyu were completed, there would be no work for the mother and daughter in Furongju.

"Girl, is Mrs. Li okay?" Yuzhu couldn't help but worry.

"She even thought of finding a group of beggars to overturn the dowry and embarrass He Ruyi and the He family. This was a way to get herself out of trouble. It wasn't difficult for her to pass the evidence to Liu without leaving any trace."

Xue Chenyu smiled meaningfully.

In fact, she didn't completely believe what Mother Li said.

She asked what was the opportunity that rekindled Mother Li's desire for revenge, but Mother Li brushed aside the question without leaving a trace and did not mention it again.

In other words, the person who gave her the opportunity was someone she could not, or dared not, mention.

Just as Mother Li said herself, she has grown during these years in the Marquis' Mansion. How could a person who is firmly in charge of the warehouse in the Marquis Wu'an Mansion be as impatient as she appears to be?

She would rather believe that Mother Li had always wanted to take revenge, but had no chance. Later, when Mother Xu passed away, she naturally came to her side.

I don't know how long she has been planning this.

Only Yuzhu is a simple girl, she believes everything others say.

Xue Chenyu, who was of Yuzhu's generation, felt uneasy. "...Miss, I know. Yuzhu is a bit stupid."

"Who said you're stupid? You just think that Mama Li is someone close to you, and you subconsciously think she's innocent and simple."

Yuzhu: I can’t refute that.

Because that's what she thought in her heart. She always felt that Mother Li was one of their own and would definitely not lie to them.

But sometimes it is not necessarily intentional to deceive, but everyone has to deceive unavoidably.

Xue Chenyu saw through her thoughts and didn't preach. Instead, he asked, "Yumei, have you found the brave man who stood up when the horse was startled that day?"
