Noble Lady

"Oh, what brings Second Aunt here? My humble abode is truly glorious."

He Ruyi heard a familiar voice and paused. She saw Xue Chenyu sitting on a soft couch behind the curtain with a maid fanning her.

She had a smile on her face, without any trace of heat or embarrassment. Instead, she looked relaxed and at ease, as if she was a god in control of everything.

She was at the door just now, but the servants of Furongju refused to inform her.

She had no choice but to go in herself. Fortunately, they were not brave enough to stop her.

A skirt made of fine silk and large sleeves of snow-white gauze.

Even the fan in her hand was made of the finest silk material that others would not be willing to buy to make clothes.

This Xue Chenyu is still so extravagant, it makes people jealous.

There was also a slight chill blowing towards her. Could there be so much ice in her house?

Feeling the chill coming, He Ruyi gritted her teeth in jealousy, "Xue Chenyu, what are you so proud of? Isn't everything you have now given to you by my brother? What qualifications do you have to be so sarcastic with me?"

She said unwillingly, twisting the handkerchief in her hand between her fingers, as if she really looked down on Xue Chenyu, but she couldn't help but move her neck closer to the curtain, feeling the slight coolness coming out from inside.

"Whatever Second Aunt says is what it is. But according to Second Aunt, you also disdain to enter my room, right?"

Xue Chenyu paused and told Yuzhu, "Go get a chair for Second Aunt and put it in the corridor. Don't let her in, or she might feel uncomfortable if she enters my room."

"You dare!" He Ruyi was about to jump up.

"Why shouldn't I dare? Isn't this what Second Aunt asked for?"

Xue Chenyu took the fan from Yuzhu and waved it slowly and gently, bringing the wind and coolness towards her.

Not to mention how comfortable it is.

No matter how hot it was outside, it was very cool inside the house and she didn't even have a drop of sweat on her body.

On the other hand, He Ruyi.

In the past, with Xue Chenyu's hands-on teaching, I ate bird's nest supplements and wore nice clothes. As the saying goes: Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Three points of appearance can lift seven points.

She looks a bit like the daughter of a Hanlin scholar.

Now, her belly is already visible, the clothes she wears are not so appropriate, and she looks haggard. Even the thick layer of powder on her face cannot hide her haggardness and the dark circles under her eyes.

In this hot weather, my face becomes sweaty as soon as I sweat.

She probably didn't look in the mirror and didn't know how miserable she looked at the moment.

Yuzhu felt her eyes were burning when she looked at it for a second longer.

However, she still followed Xue Chenyu's instructions and moved a chair for He Ruyi.

How could He Ruyi know that it was so cool inside the room and still be outside in the heat? She brushed aside Yuzhu's hand, kicked over the chair, and stepped over the threshold without hesitation.

"Xue Chenyu, I know you are afraid of me coming back. I know you don't want me to come in, but I insist on coming back and coming in."

He Ruyi felt the coolness in the room, raised his chin smugly, picked a chair and sat down, with an arrogant look on his face.

But he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart that Xue Chenyu really knew how to enjoy life. She was the only one who wasted all the Xue family's money.

The room is so cool, I wonder how many basins of ice are there?

She looked up and felt ice everywhere.

Qiuyue and Yushu behind her breathed a sigh of relief. It was so hot outside, and it would be more comfortable in the lady's room.

Yuzhu instructed Yuli to move the chair back, and then stood obediently behind Xue Chenyu.

He Ruyi sat at a round rosewood table, and Xue Chenyu was separated from her by an aisle and a round rosewood table.

"Second Aunt, you are too kind. I am afraid of you for no reason. But my room is cold everywhere. It is not suitable for someone of your size to come in. It is better to stay in the corridor."

Xue Chenyu covered her mouth with a fan and smiled, hiding the sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.

I'm almost saying it directly: Pregnant women should not stay in the cold, otherwise I'm afraid that if something happens to you later, you will blame me.

He Ruyi didn't understand her sarcasm, but only heard "It's not appropriate to come in, it's better to stay in the corridor."

"I never thought that you, the daughter of Marquis Xue, who is said to be extremely wealthy, would be so stingy. I'm just sitting in your room for a while, are you afraid that I'll use your ice?"

Xue Chenyu was stunned for a moment and looked at Yuzhu in confusion.

But she also saw helplessness in Yuzhu's eyes.

Without him.

It looked like Second Aunt He couldn't even understand what people were saying.

Xue Chenyu rubbed her forehead with a headache. "I wonder what brings Second Aunt to visit me? Do the old lady and Lord He know you're here?"

It's better to finish this quickly so that she doesn't have to sit in the house for too long and blame herself for stomachache or something.

"I came here to give you face. Why do you keep mentioning my mother and my elder brother? What? Do you want them to support you? It's too late, Xue Chenyu!"

Her stubborn look is really tiring.

Xue Chenyu glanced at Yumei, and Yumei went out quickly.

She had to hurry to Ciwenyuan to find someone. This second aunt didn't look smart before, and now she looked even dumber.

She should not do anything stupid, because she would be a little tired later.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. I'm tired and want to take a nap. If you have nothing to say, go back." Xue Chenyu had already made it clear, which was equivalent to ordering him to leave.

Who knows.

He Ruyi sneered and said, "Why, now you don't even want to talk to me, how can you be so pretentious?"

When she said this, Qiuyue and Yushu looked at each other and were speechless.

Xue Chenyu gradually lost his patience and didn't even bother to look at her. He just ordered Yuzhu, "Bring the food up."

"Yes." Yuzhu bowed and walked out.

Soon, Yuzhu and Xiahe came in carrying a whole wooden basin.

Inside were five or six cups of sour plum soup in bamboo tubes, which were carved with flowers, plants, insects and fish, which was very pleasing.

There are also cold cakes served in white porcelain plates, and ice jelly in jade bowls with a hint of coolness.

There were thick layers of ice underneath.

Because they were afraid that it would get hot in the sun, they brought in the entire wooden basin with ice.

"Yuzhu, Qiuhua, Xiahe, you all should drink some sour plum soup. It's so hot outside, you should all cool down." Xue Chenyu invited the maids to eat and drink.

He Ruyi's eyes turned red. "Xue Chenyu, what do you mean by this? I let you and your maids eat and drink here in front of me. Do you think I don't exist?"

As soon as he spoke, he would rush forward to grab the things.

Yuzhu was stunned. When did He Ruyi become so shameless? She wanted to snatch things that were not given to her?

"Second aunt, this is our girl's Furong Residence, not the small courtyard of Cui's son-in-law. Please respect yourself!" Yuzhu spoke bluntly.

He Ruyi was so angry that he raised his hand to slap her, but Xia He grabbed her wrist tightly!

"Second Aunt, this is not the place for you to act recklessly. I won't touch you because you're a twin. But don't think you can bully us just because we're kind."

He Ruyi shouted, "Xue Chenyu, this is how you teach your servants, and you dare to attack me? It's just a few cups of sour plum soup and some cold cakes, you really think I'm precious, but your upbringing is really despised."

"You're hiding something, don't be petty!"

Xue Chenyu laughed out loud.

She had known for a long time that He Ruyi came back to cause trouble for her, but she didn't expect that she could find such a childish reason?
