Noble Lady
Chapter 18: Some distant memories
To be precise, He Minzhi rushed to Ciwenyuan after hearing that Liu had not yet gone to the dining room, just as Liu was complaining of chest tightness and loss of appetite.
When he was about to go in, he heard Ji Minrou sigh and say that she had been angry all afternoon and it would be even worse if it were her turn.
"My cousin is young and naive, and even if she did something wrong, Madam shouldn't have given her such a big deal. She even deliberately called a doctor to examine the injuries of a child, making it known to everyone. She's really petty."
"If Doctor Xu accidentally spreads this, not only will outsiders question the He family's upbringing, but it will also damage my cousin's official reputation. If he doesn't consider his cousin, he must consider his cousin."
Liu agreed deeply, and she stroked her chest and sighed, expressing in this way that Ji Minrou had touched her heart.
He Minzhi didn't need to ask the reason. He immediately felt that Xue Chenyu had bullied his sister and widowed mother, so he came to demand an explanation.
Unfortunately, he was driven away by Qiuhua Dongyue before he could even enter the door.
"Our daughter said that since the master doesn't want to see her, she doesn't want to see you either. So there's no need to meet in the future, to avoid resentment and resentment."
He Minzhi had never been treated so harshly by anyone before, and he even felt that Xue Chenyu was playing hard to get with him.
"Go tell your wife that I'll be waiting for her here. If she's willing to come out and honestly kowtow to me and admit her fault, I won't pursue the matter with her. It's not impossible for me to have children with her in the future."
He Minzhi's tone seemed to be one of congratulation.
He thinks he is a prince and will inherit the throne in the future. He is so arrogant!
"Mr. He, please come and show yourself!" Dongyue didn't want to give him any extra glances, and after saying that, she slammed the door and left.
He Minzhi's face turned green, but he couldn't bring himself to knock on the door, so he could only leave embarrassedly.
He was praised and cared for by Liu since he was a child. He was indeed handsome and talented, so he naturally became the object of admiration of many women. Few women gave him the cold shoulder.
Xue Chenyu relied on his money to ignore him, and now even his servants dared to look down on him.
It’s totally outrageous!
The more He Minzhi thought about it, the angrier he became. He even didn't want to eat dinner, which was usually the occasion when a bunch of people were waiting for him to eat and was the best way for him to show off his official power.
When the head of the family loses his temper, the whole family will be frightened.
Liu now had no appetite at all and asked the servants to take the food away.
Soon, Ji Minrou and the servants brought the food to the study.
Shi Tou said that he was a little unhappy when his cousin came.
But when he looked up, he saw the delicate beauty standing gracefully under the lamp. Her plain white dress and the white flower on her hair made her look even more delicate and pitiful.
I couldn't bring myself to ask her to go back.
"Thank you for your concern, cousin. You are a guest, not a servant. You won't have to do this kind of thing yourself in the future. Put down the food and go back first."
Ji Minrou didn't move a step.
"Anything else?"
"Aunt is very worried about you, cousin." Ji Minrou sighed helplessly, "Aunt said that since the death of the old man, the He family has been getting worse day by day, but you have given her hope since you were a child."
"Now you are the only hope for the He family to rise again. Auntie is really worried that you will put all the burdens on yourself and exhaust yourself."
As soon as He Minzhi showed his impatience, Ji Minrou said tactfully, "I'll put the food here, cousin, don't forget to eat."
Then he put his things down and left.
He Minzhi's heart felt itchy as if it was tickled.
In the past two days, he seemed to have gotten to know his cousin again.
When the old man of the Ji family was still alive, the Ji family was well-known in Kyoto. But when it came to my cousin, he was just a clerk in the yamen, not even a small official.
When my mother took my cousin from the Ji family, she was still a crybaby girl with tears and snot all over her face, which was very annoying.
When he grew up a little, he dreamed of marrying her and gave him handkerchiefs and sachets, just like those women outside.
Apart from being somewhat pretty, there's really nothing else to show for herself.
I didn't expect that after my cousin got married, she became even more gentle and considerate, and she is indeed worthy of being a close friend.
Thinking of this, he compared Xue Chenyu and cursed again, "Xue really doesn't know what's good for him."
It was Xue who was eager to marry her. Although she was the daughter of a warrior, Marquis Wu'an was a third-rank marquis after all, which was barely worthy of the He family's status.
Who would have thought that he was such an ignorant person who wanted to bully others in front of him? What bad luck.
……
Xue Chenyu sneezed unexpectedly. Although she turned away in time and the food in front of her was not affected, she suddenly didn't want to eat anymore. She told Yuzhu and the others to finish the food, then left the table and sat down on the couch.
I am really disgusted by He Minzhi.
I originally wanted to live my life behind closed doors, but if he comes to my door every few days and says that he will forgive me as long as I admit my mistakes and apologize, I really want to beat him to death!
Yuzhu and the others watched carefully and decided to let the youngest girl Yumei act cute in front of her to make her smile.
Don’t think that the girl seems fine. If anyone marries a husband like He Minzhi, wouldn’t they be upset?
The girl didn't want her family to worry about her. The Marquis and his wife still didn't know about the grievances she had suffered, and she had to bear all the responsibilities on her own shoulders.
Thanks to Yumei's efforts, Xue Chenyu finally smiled.
At this time, Qiuhua came in and reported, "The old lady of the second house wants to see you."
The smile that Xue Chenyu had just revealed gradually faded.
The second branch of the He family is He Minzhi's uncle's family, and the second old lady is He Minzhi's aunt Zhang. In the afternoon, she let someone leak the news, and Ababa took the female relatives to see the lively He Ruyi.
However, watching the fun is just a small matter.
The most important thing is that the He family is all the same. With Liu's character, the second wife's old lady is naturally not much better.
Seeing her daughter's expression, Yuzhu knew she was unhappy and asked Qiuhua, "Did the Second House Madam say what she was here for?"
"He didn't say anything. He just said he would speak to our young lady first." Qiu Hua paused, then continued, "But, my guess is, it's probably about the third young lady's marriage."
Xue Chenyu paused, recalling some distant memories.
That was in my previous life, when we had just been married for about half a year.
Liu found her and said that several girls in the He family had reached the age to get married and wanted her to help find a partner.
At that time, she did not have the awareness she has today, and was still a sucker who worked hard and asked for whatever she wanted. If it weren't for He Ruyi, the first and second wives would still be harmonious on the surface.
Zhang didn't come to her alone for this matter, but she came to her for other matters.
