Noble Lady

Hibiscus Residence.

Every blade of grass, every brick and tile.

Couldn't be more familiar.

This is where she grew up.

Even though the small courtyard next to the He family's old house was also called Furongju, and everything was arranged according to her preferences, it was still different after all.

Although she had come back many times after getting married, and last time she brought Chen Lizhu and Du Jingyuan here to rest, when she really moved back, Xue Chenyu still felt like she hadn't been home for a long time.

It's like a reunion after a lifetime.

Unexpectedly, she could really escape from the He family, that den of tigers and wolves, in this life.

"Yuzhu, do you feel like you're dreaming?"

Hear the words.

Yuzhu put down the teacup and looked at her, "Miss, you actually got divorced. How can this not be like a dream? Think about how the mother and son of the He family bullied you in the past, and now you are so good. Good deeds will be rewarded in the end."

"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. This statement is worth discussing. Because everyone has a different definition of good and evil." Xue Chenyu stroked every flower and tree in the room, with a smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Yuzhu: “Hmm?”

"But if this world cannot give me justice, I will ask for it myself."

In her previous life, He Minzhi tricked Xue Huai into making a mistake, causing disaster for the Xue family. She seduced the powerful and wealthy to embezzle the Xue family's wealth, and set up a killing trap in Qinglong Temple to murder her.

In this life, she will make He Minzhi pay her back one by one!

At this moment, Yuzhu looked at Xue Chenyu, and suddenly felt that she seemed to have lived for a long time, experienced a lot, and was full of vicissitudes of life.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Camellia tore up her indenture and returned home.

Xue Chenyu also gave her an extra 20 taels of silver and told her, "Keep the silver with you. Don't tell anyone who asks, and don't give it to anyone. This may very well be your lifelong support."

Camellia nodded, but didn't take it too seriously.

Xue Chenyu knew that the chances of her words working were slim, but she said it anyway.

Whether she listens or not is her own business.

Later, Chahua returned to her hometown and didn't take Xue Chenyu's words seriously. The money she gave was soon swindled away by her parents. Even her childhood sweetheart, her cousin, got together with her sister.

Without the He family's livelihood, she could no longer bring money home as she did before, and naturally she was no longer useful. Her parents were even planning to sell her again.

Fortunately, she was still alert and escaped at night before being sold, but that's a story for later.

……

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu couldn't wait to visit the prison in Jingzhao Prefecture.

I spent a lot of money to bribe people before I could get in.

After such a period of torture, He Minzhi had lost a lot of weight, and became yellow, thin and dirty. He was no longer the handsome and elegant pretty boy he used to be.

A prison is not a good place to recuperate. I couldn't eat or sleep well, and my injuries never healed. In addition, the weather was hot and the prison was humid, so my wounds festered and I had a constant fever.

When Liu brought Doctor Chen in, he almost said that there was nothing he could do.

But when the words came to his lips, he still said: "Fortunately, Lord He is young and in good health. With just a few prescriptions, the fever will subside and the external injuries can be cured slowly."

But where in the prison could he get medicine?

It was impossible for Liu to deliver medicine every day. Not to mention whether the people in Jingzhao Prefecture could open the door for her every day, it was unrealistic to let an old lady like Liu go back and forth every day.

then.

Liu could only bear the pain and paid a hundred taels to ask the jailer to help her make medicine.

The jailer had also received orders, so naturally he would not tamper with the medicine. If there was a benefit, it would be a waste not to accept it, so he agreed.

However, He Minzhi howled like a ghost when she saw Liu, "Mother, that bitch Xue really wants to kill me, how dare she!"

"I was the one who carried her into the He family in a sedan chair carried by eight men. Her things should be mine! Why did even the Jingzhao Yin support her when she produced that IOU? Is Mei also a fool?"

The jailer outside kicked the prison door and said, "Hanlin, please be careful with your words and actions!"

He Minzhi glared at her in dissatisfaction, then said to Liu, "Mother, look, this is how your son suffers in prison. Now even a small jailer dares to bully me."

Seeing that he was dirty and filthy, and couldn't even stand up, yet he was still acting arrogant, most of the maternal love she had was gone.

Thinking that the hundred taels she had just given him were from the silver she had saved with great difficulty, and that he still did not know how to repent and was still showing off, her motherly love was reduced by half again.

When he howled like that, Mrs. Liu also became impatient, "If you still want to live, don't howl like a ghost here."

Doesn't he have any idea of ​​his current situation?

He has been reading books of sages for so many years, so he knows everything very well. How come now, he can't even do the simplest thing of recognizing reality?

Now that he was a prisoner, couldn't he be more honest, even if it meant being honest in words? Why hadn't she realized before that this son she had high hopes for was such a fool?

"It's because you don't know how to judge people and use them well that you have squandered all the wealth of the He family."

"It's because of your impulsive IOU that we're being controlled everywhere. If you hadn't acted impulsively and disobeyed instructions repeatedly, always thinking you were the best, we wouldn't have ended up like this."

He Minzhi was stunned for a moment, "Mother, you..."

It was hard to believe that this was what his mother, who always praised him so much, would say.

"If you had listened to me from the beginning and not been so impulsive as to ask Xue to hand over the housekeepership, she wouldn't have been able to escape so perfectly. Sometimes, one wrong step leads to another."

After all, the harsh words were said, and Liu didn't mind adding a few more words. "You deserve all this suffering. Who are you blaming? From now on, you should reflect on your mistakes in prison!"

After Liu finished speaking, she left the things behind and left with Mother Huang.

After leaving the Jingzhao prison, she felt dazed in the sunlight and her eyes went dark, and she almost fell down.

"Old lady, are you okay?"

It took Liu a while to react. She leaned against Madam Huang and said in despair, "Madam Huang, did I do something wrong? Was it because I was too accommodating in the past that Dalang developed such an impulsive and irritable personality?"

Mother Huang thought to herself: You still have some self-awareness.

But when the words came to her lips, she said, "Old lady, there's no need to belittle yourself. Every mother wants to give the best to her children."

It’s just that she gave all the good things to He Minzhi alone, and didn’t let He Ruyi get any benefit at all.

If He Minzhi grew up crooked, it would indeed be her responsibility as a mother.

"Yes, I always wanted to give him the best, to let him grow up and become the most outstanding man, and win an imperial decree for me. But I didn't expect that he would become so arrogant."

It would be a lie if Liu said she didn't regret it.

When she saw He Minzhi acting so arrogantly just now, she felt a little regretful.

Liu closed her eyes, but at this point, the He family had no way out, and neither did she.

No matter what, she could only try her best to rescue him, so that the He family would have a chance to make a comeback.

Now, she can only take a gamble.

"Mother Huang, get ready, let's go to Cui's house." Mrs. Liu suddenly opened her eyes.

Hearing this, Huang's mother couldn't help but be stunned, "... Cui Zhai, is it that Cui Zhai?"

Mrs. Liu nodded. "It's been so long, and I haven't visited Ruyi once. As mother and daughter, I must go see her."

Mother Huang was speechless: If you really treat Second Aunt as your daughter and really think about the mother-daughter relationship, you should go see her earlier.

It's been so long since then, and my postpartum confinement period is almost over, and you just remembered it.

What kind of mother and daughter are they? I hope they don't get beaten up.

Mother Huang had no idea that her words would come true.

Liu asked her to buy a gift and went to Cui's house eagerly. However, when the doorman heard that it was a member of the He family, he poured out a basin of foot washing water without saying a word.

Liu had never been so embarrassed in her life and was almost sick from anger.
