Noble Lady

"Has the Jingzhao Prefecture said when the trial will resume?" Seeing that the show was almost over, Mrs. Xue calmed down and helped her daughter up.

Mrs. Qi and others also pricked up their ears to listen.

Xue Chenyu lowered her eyes and said, "Not yet. He Minzhi has been taken into custody by the Jingzhao Prefecture. On the way here, my daughter heard that Cui Hua, He's son-in-law, had also gone to the Jingzhao Prefecture to sue him."

"After all, He Minzhi is an official appointed by the imperial court, so it's not easy to detain him for long. We should have news in the next two days."

Mrs. Xue felt a little relieved.

Afterwards, Mrs. Xue hosted a banquet to entertain everyone. It was not until the evening that the party ended and everyone went home.

Mrs. Qi was so happy that she drank a few more glasses of wine and refused to let Mrs. Xue be sent away. She just took her mother with her and staggered back to the courtyard.

He bumped into Mr. Lu who had just returned from outside.

Mr. Lu helped the man onto the recliner and sighed helplessly, "You knew that Madam Xue was planning to use you, so why did you call everyone over to join her in this stunt?"

Mrs. Qi, who was sitting on the recliner, had her eyes closed originally, but when she heard what was said, she opened them a little, and just squinted her eyes, looking at him slightly drunk.

"What does it matter? Will you stop doing this just because you can bring free private schools to Dasheng and bring good reputation to the Marquisate?"

Mr. Lu stiffened his neck and said, "How is that possible? They invested real money and sincerely wanted to help the poor people in the world get education and change their fate. What's wrong with gaining a little fame? Those who have no desires are saints."

"In this world, it's difficult for military commanders to survive, and it's even harder for a family like the Wu'an Marquisate with such wealth. The fame they seek is nothing more than a chance to live in peace and protect their children."

"That's it. Madam Xue did this today to protect her daughter, didn't she? Then what's the difference between what I did and what you did?" Madam Qi rolled her eyes at him rudely, then closed her eyes and continued to pretend to sleep.

"Even if it's not what you want in your life, I will still help you if you encounter something like this."

"It's already difficult for women to survive in this world. Everyone thinks women should be dependent on men, but that man is clearly a scumbag. Why would Miss Xue, such a wonderful person, waste her life on him?"

Mr. Lu was born a man, enjoyed the world's treatment of men, and had long been accustomed to the fact that the world favors men.

He was puzzled by these words at first, but when he thought about it carefully, if he had a daughter and she met a husband like this, he would also hope that they would part ways and live happily.

"Madam is right. A woman really shouldn't be trapped in the backyard, and she shouldn't waste her life on a bad man."

"Well, all those years of reading the sage books have not been in vain."

Mrs. Qi said this and turned over to sleep.

Mr. Lu quickly covered her with a blanket, but he came to his senses as soon as he covered her with the blanket.

Madam, were you scolding him just now?

……

"Miss, someone from Ciwenyuan came this afternoon. I told them you weren't there, and they pestered me for a long time. Seeing that I really didn't open the door for them, they left angrily."

"Later, there was a commotion at Ciwenyuan. They said Aunt Zhao had packed up a few sets of Mr. He's clothes to send to him. I don't know if they were able to deliver them."

When Qiuhua saw Xue Chenyu coming back, she told her everything that happened after she left in the afternoon.

"Okay, I get it, you did great."

Xue Chenyu could guess without thinking what Liu sent someone to do. It was simply because He Minzhi was imprisoned in Jingzhao Prefecture, and she wanted her to give money to bribe him.

Not to mention that she returned to the Marquis' Mansion, even if she was here at the time, she would not open the door for them.

At this point, she is no longer afraid of the showdown. Even if He Minzhi dies, it has nothing to do with her.

Of course, he won't die for a while.

"Where's Suying? Call Suying over."

Upon hearing this, Yuzhu went to call for help.

After a while, Su Ying came over and knelt down politely. "What do you want, young lady?"

Xue Chenyu asked, "Since you came into the mansion, I asked you to re-inventory the dowry in the storehouse. I wonder how you've been doing?"

Su Ying replied, "I've re-inventoryed it as instructed by the young lady. Aside from a few valuable items that the young lady exchanged with the third young lady from Duke Chen's mansion, everything else is here."

"Then starting tomorrow you will be responsible for organizing and packing the things in the warehouse and transporting them to this place in batches." Xue Chenyu took out a house deed.

That was the remaining one after the second wife had selected one, and she used it as her secret base.

Suying was stunned. "Just, myself?"

"Why? You think it's too much work and you can't do it alone?"

"No, no, no!" Su Ying waved her hands anxiously, "What I mean is, I am the only one who organizes the things in the entire warehouse, and there is no one supervising me. Miss, are you not afraid of me..." taking the opportunity to enrich yourself?

"Since I dare to give you this job, I am not afraid of you doing it. But if you feel that you can't do it alone, let Yuli and Xiahe help you."

Suying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, young lady!"

After receiving the title deed, she hurried downstairs, not daring to stay here any longer, for fear that Xue Chenyu would eat her.

Xue Chenyu was also very surprised: "Yuzhu, is your daughter born with a hideous face that makes people terrified?"

Yuzhu covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Our daughter is beautiful, how could she have a hideous face? But you have such a bad temper, you can't stand being wronged."

"Su Ying is probably worried that if she makes a mistake, she'll be sold out, so she's being so cautious..."

Xue Chenyu touched her face. Although Yuzhu's description of her as a beautiful woman was a bit of a compliment, she was indeed not ugly.

Moreover, she just can't stand being wronged, but she is also clear about rewards and punishments.

As long as Suying didn't plot against her openly or secretly like her sister Suzhi, she would never have been sold out.

But on second thought, perhaps in Suying's view, asking her to organize, pack and ship out all the things in the warehouse was an opportunity to test her, and it would be right for her to be cautious.

……

The next morning, Mr. Chen from Jingzhao Prefecture came in person.

Mr. Chen came with a few yamen runners. The people of the He family were now terrified when they talked about Jingzhao Prefecture, so the gatekeeper immediately went to report to the old lady Liu.

But when Liu hurried over and couldn't wait to inquire about He Minzhi's situation.

Mr. Chen also politely greeted him and said, "I am here on business at the He Mansion under the order of Lord Mei, the Jingzhao Yin. However, I am not here to see the old lady. I want to see the He family's wife, Aunt Xue."

If Liu hadn't been in front of Mr. Chen and so many Jingzhao Prefecture officials, she would have cursed in the streets.

He didn't come to see her, but he waited for her to say all these things on purpose. It was obvious that he wanted to embarrass her!

Liu held her breath and gently instructed Huang Mama, "What are you still standing there for? Go and ask Yu'er to come out. I never knew my daughter-in-law had such a wide network of friends."

"Yes, old lady."

Liu spoke softly, but if you listened carefully, it was not difficult to hear the gnashing of teeth in her voice, and the malicious insinuation that she had an affair with another man.

"Don't worry, old lady. Please lead the way. I will go to pay my respects to Aunt Xue." Master Chen stood up and stopped Mother Huang.

"In front of our family's masters, Aunt Xue has a place. I am just a legal advisor. How dare Aunt Xue condescend to see me?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu's face inevitably turned green.

What does he mean by this?

Is she saying that she, the old lady of the He family, is not as good as him, a small legal advisor of Jingzhao Prefecture, so she has to come to see him so eagerly?

OK, OK!

A tiger in trouble is bullied by a dog. Unexpectedly, just as Dalang was in trouble, even the legal advisor of Jingzhao Prefecture dared to step on him.

Squinting her eyes, she stared at the departing figures of Master Chen and several yamen runners, and curled her lips coldly. "Just wait and see. When my Dalang is made a marquis and appointed a prime minister, you'll be in for a treat!"

In the previous few times, I misspelled Suying's name as her sister Suzhi, but it's too troublesome to find the editor and operation staff to change it chapter by chapter, so please bear with it.
