Noble Lady

Du Jingyuan and Chen Lizhu looked at each other and both understood what was going on.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to complain about He Minzhi's confusion or say that he deserved his bad luck.

This kind of person is not worthy of Xue Chenyu at all.

On this point, Chen Lizhu and Du Jingyuan inexplicably reached a consensus.

"Oh, Miss Xue, I came here today because my brother asked me to. He asked me to thank you in person for helping him solve a very difficult problem."

Xue Chenyu was stunned for a moment, "Thank me for what?"

"He didn't say it." Chen Lizhu also looked confused. "But he said that as long as I say it, you will understand what he means."

Xue Chenyu realized belatedly that he was thanking Prince Cheng because it was because of her that he helped him and Mr. Lu.

For some reason, Xue Chenyu's cheeks felt slightly hot.

There was clearly nothing going on between her and Prince Cheng, but Chen Mingxuan specially asked Chen Lizhu to come and express his gratitude. Doesn't this make it seem as if there is something unclear between her and Prince Chen?

"Why are you blushing?" Du Jingyuan looked puzzled.

Xue Chenyu calmed down after hearing what she said. "You're still blaming me. Aren't both your families planning to discuss marriage? When you two met, didn't you express anything?"

Chen Lizhu and Du Jingyuan were both stunned, and saw the sudden realization in each other's eyes.

Chen Lizhu: Oh no, I really didn’t remember this?

Du Jingyuan: I've long been accustomed to taking Chen Mingxuan out to see him alone, and I never even remembered that he was from Duke Chen's Mansion.

The two of them looked at each other awkwardly.

Xue Chenyu held her forehead with her hand: "Seeing how nervous you two are, I thought you two were discussing marriage."

Du Jingyuan blurted out shamelessly, "What a beautiful lady! I was afraid the Duke's Mansion wouldn't agree."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Lizhu and they all burst into laughter.

Xue Chenyu thought to herself that she had finally found the right person for these two.

After that, things will be much easier.

When Chen Lizhu left, she said that Du Jingyuan was very much to her liking, and just because of her straightforwardness, she couldn't let the Ninth Princess ruin it.

The Ninth Princess had completely lost her favor in front of Chen Mingxuan, and with Chen Lizhu's help, Du Jingyuan probably didn't have to worry about being hated by the Ninth Princess.

This time, Chen Mingxuan openly rejected the prince's attempt to win him over, and it's almost time for his identity to be known to the public.

By then, the prince will not be able to make things difficult for Chen Mingxuan.

A prince registered under the name of the queen, and the future hope of a duke's mansion, no one knows what kind of sparks they will create.

However, although Xue Chenyu was curious, she still wanted to divorce as soon as possible.

We have to wait for my father to return to Beijing and then discuss it with them.

……

As Xue Chenyu was eagerly anticipating, the eighth day of June arrived, and Lord Xue, who had been away from home for a long time, was finally returning to Beijing.

Madam Xue went to the city gate to greet them in person.

For this reason, she asked Xue Huai to keep an eye on the progress of the construction at the family school for her.

However, Xue Huai also said that he wanted to go, and it was impossible for Miss Xue Er not to go, so she had to ask the housekeeper to help look after her. Mrs. Xue led her two children and went out in a grand manner.

After receiving the news, Xue Chenyu dressed up a little and went out.

This was the first time Xue Chenyu went out openly after kneeling at the door of Jishan Hall for three days.

Counting the days, she has recovered.

It was a hot day, and the mother and her two children waited at the city gate in the afternoon.

When the city gates were about to close, we saw Marquis Xue with his attendant and several men in plain clothes rushing here in a hurry.

"Father!"

Xue Luoyan lifted her skirt, jumped out of the car and ran towards Xue Hou.

From a distance, Lord Xue heard someone calling "Dad". When he listened again, it was indeed the voice of his little daughter.

When he looked again, the girl was coming towards him like a Cuju. He quickly pulled the reins and dismounted.

"Father!"

Xue Luoyan rushed into the arms of Marquis Xue and almost knocked the exhausted Marquis Xue to the ground.

"Good girl, it's been such a short time since we last met, and you've gained strength." As Marquis Xue spoke, he picked up his little daughter.

Xue Luoyan raised her little face proudly and said, "That's not great. Now my strength is no less than Xue Huai's."

"Don't be disrespectful, he's your brother."

Xue Luoyan stuck out her tongue playfully, and Xue Hou scratched her nose helplessly before putting her down.

The main reason was that Madam Xue also walked up to him slowly.

"Madam!" Marquis Xue was so excited that he was about to hug her, but Madam Xue stopped him with a cold face, "You are covered in dust and sweat, don't come too close to me."

"Madam, do you dislike me?" Marquis Xue looked hurt. "Luoluo even let me hug her just now."

Mrs. Xue curled her lips, and although she was a little disgusted, she still let him hug her.

Xue Chenyu and Xue Huai, who were standing behind, looked at each other and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Father, if you have anything nice to say, let's go home and talk. It's so hot, and Mom has been suffering waiting here all afternoon."

Lord Xue reacted, "Madam has been waiting here since this afternoon? Didn't you say I might not be able to get into the city in time?"

Mrs. Xue rolled her eyes and said, "Then next time you go on a long trip, I won't come to pick you up."

"No, no, no, I, I..."

Next, it's time for Lord Xue to become so nervous that he becomes incoherent.

Xue Chenyu shook his head helplessly, asked Xue Huai to greet the people who came back with Xue Hou, and then took Xue Luoyan to his carriage first.

Only one carriage was left for the couple.

"Dad and Mom, we'll be leaving first. If you have anything to say that's not convenient for us to hear, please speak slowly." Xue Chenyu said this deliberately, and quickly told the coachman to set off.

Although it was getting dark, the city gates were about to close.

But there were other people around, and in public, Madam Xue blushed and pushed Marquis Xue, "Hurry up and get in the car, aren't you ashamed?"

After more than a month, Lord Xue finally saw his long-cherished wife and held her hand tightly, refusing to let go.

The corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears, how could he feel embarrassed?

Mrs. Xue had no choice but to pull him into the car quickly.

"You are so old and still so ungrateful. You have no shame."

"Well, no shame."

Fortunately, Xue Chenyu and her two siblings were not here, otherwise my teeth would have been sore.

……

Xue Chenyu and her two siblings entered the house first.

While Mother He was making arrangements at home, Xue Chenyu asked the kitchen to prepare hot water for the guests to bathe, and the dishes could also be prepared.

After the guests had finished bathing in their guest rooms and came out, the carriage carrying Marquis Xue and Madam Xue finally arrived.

Mrs. Xue's face was as red as the sunset in the sky. Everyone understood each other tacitly and no one asked why her face was so red.

"Father, the uncles have already bathed and changed their clothes. I have asked the servants to bring hot water to your and Mother's rooms. Go bathe and change your clothes, then come out for dinner."

Marquis Xue looked at the brothers who came back with him. They had bathed and looked clean and refreshed, but he was the only one covered in sweat.

Seeing that he wanted to smell her sweaty clothes, Mrs. Xue couldn't bear it anymore and dragged him away.

"puff……"

There was laughter in the main hall.
