Noble Lady

"Bah! Who do you think my daughter is? How dare any cat or dog get involved with her and ruin her reputation? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself to see what kind of character you have?"

"He just didn't come to me, otherwise I would let him know why the flowers are so red!"

Before Xue Chenyu could say anything, Yuzhu started cursing.

Xiaocao was startled. The Yuzhu girl she usually met was always quiet and gentle, and she didn't seem to blush when talking to people.

I didn't expect that scolding people would be so powerful.

"Don't worry, I didn't do anything, so no one can put the blame on me." Xue Chenyu touched Yuzhu and comforted her.

"But that person..."

"Don't be afraid. Just a few words can't tarnish my reputation." Although Yuzhu was a little unhappy, since her own girl had spoken, she naturally had to give her some face.

Xiaocao felt that this scene was very similar to the scene when the yellow dog at home had its fur standing up and someone was stroking its fur.

Well... although it's not very polite to say this.

"Aunt Zhao, see if you can find out the whereabouts of that letter."

Xiaocao perked up immediately, "Madam, I took advantage of his confusion to ask him, and he said he kept it in a cabinet in the study."

Fortunately, she was prepared, and the lady did ask about it.

"You did a great job. You worked hard last night." While Xue Chenyu was speaking, she took off an emerald green bracelet from her wrist and put it on Xiaocao's hand.

The quality of the table is excellent. However, Xue Chenyu is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an and the jewel in the Xue family's crown. How could the things she uses be bad?

"Madam, this is too valuable. I can't accept it." Xiaocao stood up excitedly and hurriedly took off the bracelet and gave it back.

"What is given to you is yours. Keep this thing, it will be with you in the future." Xue Chenyu said, and asked Yuzhu to get a bag of silver.

"This is the small change I asked them to cut. It will be more convenient for you to use it to manage servants or buy things."

Now that Liu is in charge of the household, her monthly allowance as a concubine is only slightly more than when Zhang was the housekeeper, having been increased from two taels to three taels.

But there was no point in thinking about what to do with the three taels of silver. If there wasn’t food in the mansion, it wouldn’t even be enough to eat.

Xiao Cao's eyes warmed up and tears began to flow, "Madam, you...how can I thank you?"

Obviously, their husbands were the same person, but the lady not only did not guard against her, but also did not punish her. She also provided her with good food, clothes and other things. Now she even gave her silver and jewelry, fearing that she would be wronged.

This is not a mistress at all, she is just a adoptive parent.

"Madam, I have no way of repaying your kindness. However, if you have any request, I will do my utmost to fulfill it. I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Xiaocao knelt down and kowtowed excitedly.

"That's not necessary." Xue Chenyu gave her a fake hand and said, "Haven't you been doing things for me all this time? Consider this as my reward for your hard work."

The grass was so moved that tears streamed down its face.

This is not a mistress at all, she is clearly a living Bodhisattva.

To her, she is willing to go through fire and water for the sake of her life. This is not just a formality, but a sincere statement from the heart.

"Madam, why don't you let me find the letter?" Xiaocao felt that if he didn't do something, he would be doing a disservice to Madam for this bracelet with such beautiful water color.

"The news you brought is very important. Don't get involved in the following matters, so as not to arouse his suspicion." Xue Chenyu advised.

Xiao Cao: "I was impulsive, so I'll follow Madam's arrangements."

Madam is absolutely right. If that heartless guy becomes suspicious and defensive, how will she be able to pass on messages for Madam in the future?

Xiaocao came to Furongju with a heavy heart, but felt that she had been entrusted with an extremely important mission, and left happily.

After Xiaocao walked away, Yuzhu couldn't help but worry and said, "Miss, could it be Sun who wrote that kind of letter to He Minzhi..." Ping'an.

They all knew that Mother Xu was not a good person, and her son Sun Ping'an was probably not a good person either.

Moreover, the girl did not have any so-called childhood sweethearts when she was young. Even with her cousins ​​from the Jiang family, they only exchanged gifts and greetings during festivals, and they did not have frequent interactions.

At least that's how it looks on the surface.

Because the Jiang family was a merchant family, the lady had instructed at the time that they should respect the Jiang family but not have too much contact with them, so the girl did so.

They are afraid that people outside will completely tie the Jiang family and the Wu'an Marquis Mansion together, but even so, it is still difficult for people outside to see the Wu'an Marquis Mansion and the Jiang family separately.

Far away.

In short, the girl has no childhood sweetheart at all, especially one with the surname Sun.

"Maybe." Xue Chenyu said in a light tone. The only man with the surname Sun that she had known since childhood was Sun Ping'an.

She felt very disgusted by Xu's mother's previous behavior.

But she didn't expect that Sun Ping'an actually had such thoughts about her.

All of Sun Ping'an's previous behaviors and Xu's mother's various behaviors that were difficult for normal people to understand were connected at this moment.

Mother Xu from her previous life was not sent away by her, but followed her until she and Yuzhu were killed in Qinglong Temple.

Sun Ping'an was doing well all the time. When the Wu'an Marquis Mansion collapsed overnight, he was sent out to serve as an official.

The trajectory of the present life is completely different from that of the previous life. She is not sure whether the things that happened in the previous life will happen again, but she must be careful.

"Miss, then, what about the letter Aunt Zhao mentioned?"

"Such a glorious and arduous task should naturally be handed over to Yumei."

Yuzhu: “Ah?”

"What are you still doing? Go ahead."

After being urged by Xue Chenyu, Yuzhu came back to her senses and went to find Yumei quickly.

Xue Chenyu took a sip of tea and fell into deep thought.

She had felt strange long before. Although she and He Minzhi were a legitimate couple in her previous life, He Minzhi had never been close to her and was too lazy to learn about the affairs of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion from her.

How come when we deal with them, we can always hit their weak points?

The letter that Xiaocao mentioned, and the man surnamed Sun who was suspected to be Sun Ping'an, gave her a new idea.

Perhaps, there was a spy inside the Marquis's Mansion.

If it can be confirmed that the person who wrote the letter to He Minzhi was Sun Ping'an, then it can be basically confirmed.

……

But he said.

Yumei, the clever little girl, easily sneaked into the study and got the letter.

But she did not send it back to Xue Chenyu immediately.

Instead, he found someone to imitate the writer's handwriting and wrote a letter, put it back to its original place, and then took the real letter back to Furongju.

Junior Master had reminded her last time that Sun Ping'an, unable to contact Mother Xu, had asked someone to inquire about the news in the capital.

I didn't expect to find the He family so soon.

"A toad like Sun Ping'an wants to eat swan meat. Bah!"

What a disgusting thing, trying to get involved with her future aunt.

Although Junior Master-Uncle is unreliable, vicious and evil in some aspects, there is absolutely no problem with him as a human being.

Besides, he has a high status.

As a descendant of a royal family, how many people in this world can compare to Junior Master-Uncle?

"Miss, please take a look at this." Yumei presented the letter to Xue Chenyu.

Before Xue Chenyu could ask her why there was only a letter but no envelope, she explained, "I asked someone to forge one and put it back. This is the original."

"I also checked the address on the envelope. It was indeed sent from Yuelu Academy, and it has the stamp of the post station there."
