Noble Lady

Xue Chenyu nodded. She naturally believed what Yumei said. "I didn't expect you to be so smart." She was worthy of being sent by Prince Cheng.

"Thank you for the compliment, young lady." Yumei scratched her head embarrassedly.

Xue Chenyu did not reveal her identity and unfolded the letter to read.

The letter vividly describes the relationship between the writer and the eldest daughter of Marquis Xue.

What childhood sweethearts? To him, they had already sworn to spend their lives together, but his family was poor and he was looked down upon by the Marquis's family, so they had to break up the couple.

When Xue Chenyu was a child, she studied in a private school with her second uncle for a period of time, so she also recognized Sun Ping'an's handwriting.

The handwriting on this letter is indeed Sun Ping'an's.

There are also some common words and phrases that can be seen to be from his hand.

"Sun Ping'an is so arrogant and shameless!" Even though she knew that the content of the letter would be like this, Xue Chenyu still laughed out of anger.

Yumei had naturally read the contents of the letter and nodded continuously beside her. "What a dung beetle wearing a mask—shameless!"

"Miss, what's written in the letter?" Yuzhu was so itchy that she couldn't help but lean over to take a look.

Xue Chenyu gave her the letter.

The next moment, Yuzhu burst into swear words, "This damned bastard, damned bastard, I knew that a scoundrel like Xu Mama wouldn't give birth to any good grandchildren!"

"It's like a toad gives birth to a scorpion—each one more poisonous than the other!"

Qiuhua just took a glance and couldn't help but curse.

Xia He, who had a bad temper, pressed the dagger tied to her foot and said angrily, "Girl, let me go and kill that bastard. I promise to stab him three times and six times, and he will come in vertically and leave horizontally."

Imagining that scene, Yuzhu was shocked at first, then she said angrily, "Miss, Xia He is right, we should deal with that bastard."

"You..." Xue Chenyu was amused by their indignant remarks. "You must have forgotten that Sun Ping'an is now a man of honor and renown. Second Uncle freed him from slavery a long time ago. Killing him is against the law."

Several maids choked.

"Girl, there are also people who kill without shedding blood." Su Zhi, who had been packing things in the back and had not said a word for a long time, suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked over.

Xue Chenyu held her forehead with her hand. It seemed that she had spoiled these girls too much. They were so bold and courageous.

"Calm down. You don't have to kill to deal with him."

Sun Ping'an's current situation was all thanks to the Wu'an Marquisate. If she wanted to deal with him, she had plenty of ways to ruin his reputation.

Moreover, the reason why Sun Ping'an came to find He Minzhi might be because she had asked her mother to contact the academy before.

It seems that she still needs to go back to the Marquis' Mansion.

"Yuzhu, have someone send a message to Ayuan. Tell her that I will be home tomorrow and ask her to find me at the Marquis' Mansion."

"Yes, girl."

When she had someone send Du Jingyuan a dress for the Qiqiao Festival, Du Jingyuan had the servant tell her that she would come to visit her the next day.

Before, she was busy with the affairs of the He family and the Marquis' Mansion, and Du Jingyuan was also busy with her own marriage, so they hadn't been here for some time.

However, since she was going back to the Marquis' Mansion, she might as well let Du Jingyuan go with her.

She is a very extroverted person and is the same wherever she goes.

Xue Chenyu had made all sorts of calculations, but she hadn't anticipated that not only Du Jingyuan would come, but others would as well.

That scene was so lively.

However, that is a matter later.

……

"Sir, you drank too much yesterday, and the old lady has already asked if you...will not be drinking today."

He Minzhi looked at the uneasy stone in front of him and was initially dismissive.

"I'll drink if I want. It's normal for a man to have social engagements outside. I'll talk to my mother myself."

After a pause, he continued, "Why did I end up at Aunt Zhao's last night? Did you send me there?"

He clearly remembered that he went to Furongju and met Xue Chenyu.

I seemed to have a few words with her, but I don’t remember anything after that.

My Lord, he doesn't remember? No wonder we didn't settle the score with him today.

Shitou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, I took you there. Originally, I wanted to take you back to your room to rest, but you kept talking about wanting to see Aunt Zhao and said you wanted to go over, so I had no choice but to take you there."

There's a saying that goes, "Less trouble is worse than more trouble." Since he himself had forgotten the horrific scene of his wife tying him up and gaging him last night, it was naturally impossible for Shitou to confess.

"Did I say I was going?" He Minzhi didn't know what happened after he got drunk. Although he had some doubts, he didn't delve into it.

Stone nodded firmly.

People can do anything when they are drunk, and they can't remember what they did.

"So you picked me up at Furongju?"

"...Yes, the lady sent someone to call me over. She said you were drunk and yelling... it was indecent."

He Minzhi was furious. "How dare she say I'm indecent? If it weren't for her, how could my efforts yesterday have been in vain and I even offended the Fourth Master Yu because of it?"

He Minzhi became angry when he said this, and walked towards Furongju unconsciously.

Sir, please don't humiliate yourself.

Shitou stretched out his hand, but didn't dare to hold him back, so he had to follow him awkwardly.

The days are long in summer, and even if it's He Minxia's fault, it's still early now.

It's still hot.

Xue Chenyu was eating iced fruit in the room, with a cute and pretty little maid fanning her.

Just when I was feeling comfortable, He Minzhi came to the door to challenge me again.

"Xue Chenyu, come out, I have something to tell you!"

He doesn't care about other people's lives or his own image.

After shouting a few times and finding no one paying attention to him, he ordered Shitou, "Go, get a few people to break down the gate of Furongju."

"My Lord, this is not good, is it?"

"What's wrong with that? I'll pay for it if you break it!"

"Mr. He is really arrogant." A crisp voice suddenly sounded.

He Minzhi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yumei beside Xue Chenyu opening the door and sticking her little head out.

She looked He Minzhi up and down and said, "Master He borrowed the money for your sister's marriage from our daughter and it has not been paid back yet. What are you going to use to compensate our daughter for the loss of her door?"

He Minzhi: How can this be possible!

But he couldn't refute it.

"Stop talking nonsense, I want to see Xue Chenyu."

"I know." Yumei rolled her eyes speechlessly, "The girl lets you in."

After saying that, he opened the door.

He Minzhi raised his chin and walked in with his head held high.

He tripped over the threshold with a bang. If the stone behind him had not been quick to pull him up, he would have fallen to the ground.

"Sir He, no matter how lofty a scholar's vision is, he must always keep his feet on the ground." Yumei made a double entendre.

He Minzhi, who understood what he heard, was so angry that his nose was crooked.

Now even a maid dares to ridicule him. When he sees Xue Chenyu, he must settle this account with her.

But the facts proved that He Minzhi was overthinking.

He couldn't even get into Xue Chenyu's room, so he could only stand at the door.

Yuzhu had already brought out a chair for him. "Master He, our daughter has had knee problems since she went to seek medical treatment for the old lady. Until now, her knees have been in severe pain if she is not careful. It is not convenient for her to go out to meet guests."

"I'm not a guest!" He Minzhi said with a dark face.

Yuzhu ignored him and turned away.

Xue Chenyu's voice then rang out from the room, "Master He, I'm not feeling well, so I won't invite you in to sit down. If you have anything to say, please be brief and concise."

He Minzhi: It seems that I have lost all my means and strength.
