Noble Lady

Xue Chenyu had already received the news long before Old Lady He came to look for Mrs. Liu.

To be precise, she received the news shortly after he came back from causing a big disturbance at Cui's house and attacking his own sister.

At that time, Furongju.

"Girl, that He Minzhi is so mad! How could he do anything? He even has a knife in his arms—he's so cruel!"

After hearing Yumei's news, Yuzhu couldn't help but start cursing.

Qiu Hua also said coldly, "That thing in human skin is not a human being!"

Xia He was at a loss for words and could only "Pooh, Pooh, Pooh" three times on the ground. "A dog bites a beggar—even animals bully people."

Xue Chenyu looked solemn.

Before releasing the news to put pressure on He Minzhi, she also anticipated that He Minzhi would most likely go to He Ruyi to vent his anger.

But she didn't expect that he was so cruel and ruthless. Just because of a momentary anger, he even spared his own pregnant sister.

Also.

Isn't he a person who puts profit above all else and is extremely selfish?

"Yumei, how is He Ruyi doing?"

Yumei also shook her head with a heavy face. "When I arrived, it was too late. The maids and servants in the house were beaten black and blue by He Minzhi's men and tied up in the woodshed. She was also frightened and hid herself."

"I couldn't go over there at the time because I was afraid she would be further upset and something might happen to the child, so I went to find a doctor first. On the way back, I met the man Cui Hua had sent to fetch the doctor, so I asked the doctor to go with him."

"But it was too late. The baby's heartbeat stopped, and He Ruyi bled profusely. I tried to stop the bleeding with the doctor and pressed a few acupuncture points, but that only slowed the bleeding."

"Later, the Second Master of the Cui family came over with the imperial physician and said he wanted to abort the dead fetus. I was worried that the experts around Second Master Cui would find out, so I left first."

After saying that, she said with great self-blame, "If I had known earlier, I would have run faster, maybe..." I could have stopped He Minzhi from attacking the pregnant woman.

"This is not your responsibility, you have done your best." Xue Chenyu interrupted her.

She asked Yumei to go over and take a look, just in case. It was her kind instinct as a human being, and fortunately it did have some effect.

He Ruyi's miscarriage was not what she wanted, but she would not blame herself for it.

Even if someone is to be blamed, it should be He Minzhi's shameless behavior of not even harming his own pregnant sister.

She and Yumei, who are not related to each other, are concerned about the baby in He Ruyi's belly, but He Minzhi, who is related to He Ruyi by blood, doesn't care at all.

Yes.

In his previous life, when He Minzhi was plotting to frame the Xue family, he never considered Luo Luo, who was only a teenager at the time.

Perhaps this is the retribution He Ruyi deserves as the daughter of Liu and the sister of He Minzhi.

But this is just the beginning.

In the previous life, dozens of lives were lost in the Xue family, and now we are just getting back a little interest.

No hurries.

Sometimes they cry.

"From today on, you don't have to pay attention to the Cui residence. Just take care of the He family."

"Yes, girl."

Xue Chenyu narrowed her eyes slightly. The He family was about to become lively now.

……

In Ciwenyuan.

Old Mrs. He had just finished telling the story of "The Twin Flowers" when she told Mrs. Liu about the affair between He Minzhi and Ji Minrou - the affair was already known to everyone outside.

There was also the widely circulated story of a loving and righteous sister-in-law helping her elder sister-in-law to eliminate the evil seed, which made Liu feel a little uneasy.

"Mother Huang, is what my elder sister said true?"

She turned her head to look at Huang's mother's expression. Huang's mother forced a guilty smile and dared not say a word.

It's so hard to be someone else's servant. One of her masters tells her to shut up, and the other tells her to speak. Who should she listen to?

After thinking for a moment, Mother Huang came up with an idea: "...Madam, what Mrs. He said is true."

What she didn't dare say was that there was something even more cruel.

As she spoke, she looked at Old Lady He, hoping that she would be a sensible person and speak half of the truth.

At least don't say all these words at once. If the old lady can't bear the shock and something happens to her, none of them, the servants, will be able to escape.

"Old sister, we've been friends for so many years, don't you know who I am? Others can deceive you, but how can I? You don't know what your Dalang has done because of those rumors outside?!"

Old Mrs. He showed a look of deep sorrow and anguish. "Your daughter is pregnant, and your Dalang brought people to destroy her yard. How can a pregnant woman be good after being frightened?"

"What did you say? Dalang smashed Ruyi's yard?!" Liu immediately shrugged.

Old Mrs. He seemed to be clueless and continued to ramble on, "I was saying that you must be unaware of this, otherwise how could you not show up until now?"

"Your daughter's child is gone, and she almost died from heavy bleeding. It was the Cui family who called in the imperial physician to save her. She's still unconscious, and the news has spread everywhere!"

Liu's heart began to beat rapidly.

"Mrs. He, why don't you go back today." Seeing that the situation was not good, Mother Huang hurriedly pulled Mrs. He and signaled her not to continue talking.

Seeing that Liu's face looked uneasy, Mrs. He sighed and said, "Then I'll leave first. Take care, old sister."

Mother Huang was also scared, and quickly asked someone to send Mrs. He out.

"Mother Huang, go and invite Dalang over."

After hesitating for a moment, Mother Huang said, "But Madam, the Master is already on duty at the Hanlin Academy at this time."

"Didn't you say before that it's not good to let adults delay their official duties because of trivial matters at home, leaving a bad impression on outsiders?"

Liu closed her eyes and said sadly, "How could he still be on duty at the Imperial Academy after such a big incident? Do you think I'm a fool?!"

"Go, call him back to me!"

Mother Huang had never seen the old lady like this before, so she didn't dare to delay and left in a hurry.

But where can she find someone?

The adults went out early in the morning. If they didn’t go to the Hanlin Academy, where else could they go?

Sudden.

An idea suddenly occurred to Huang's mother. "Madam is the most likely person to know where the adults have gone."

Her steps also changed direction.

Unfortunately, Xue Chenyu was no longer visible in Furongjuli.

Except for Yuli who was guarding the yard and Suzhi who was guarding the warehouse, everyone else was gone.

Mother Huang went back embarrassedly and had to look elsewhere.

At this time, Xue Chenyu had already brought the complaint she had asked someone to write and went to Jingzhao Prefecture to sue He Minzhi for not repaying the money he had borrowed.

……

A distinguished guest came to the outside of Jingzhao Prefecture. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and wore a veil to cover her face, but from the barely exposed white and jade-like hands, one could guess that she was a lady from a noble family.

Behind her followed three maids, some graceful, some cold, and some pretty. They were of different ages, but each one was outstanding.

The yamen runner stepped forward cautiously, "Madam, what can I do for you?"

"Of course I came to Jingzhao Prefecture to file a complaint. Could it be that my master came here to chat and drink tea with your master?" The speaker was a tall and cold girl, and her eyes seemed to shoot people through with an arrow.

“…” Although it was a hot day, the yamen runner couldn’t help but shiver.

"Qiuhua, don't be rude." Xue Chenyu's voice was soft, but while speaking, she walked past the yamen runner who came forward to ask questions and walked straight inside.

The bailiff wanted to step forward to stop them, but Qiuhua gave him a cold glare and made him behave himself.

Master Chen, who was about to go out for a meal, happened to see this scene and hurriedly turned back.

"Sir, something terrible has happened—"
