Noble Lady

After getting on the carriage, He Jixiang was still a little upset.

She thought she would hate the He family to death if she met them again, but now that she saw that it was not the case, she felt disgusted.

"Madam, please don't be angry." Yu Li soothed her, "How about we go to the Marquis' Mansion and talk to the young lady?"

"That's a good idea." He Jixiang felt much better when he heard that he was going to meet Xue Chenyu.

It can be said that He Jixiang had deliberately avoided the He family before. In addition, she was just an unmarried girl at that time. Even though she worked in the Jinyi Pavilion, she went to the Jinyi Pavilion for work and returned to the Marquis' Mansion after work.

There is no chance to meet someone like Ji Minrou.

Unexpectedly, after she got married, she took her maid out for a walk and bought things, and was met by Ji Minrou.

With Yuli's suggestion, she ordered the carriage to go to the Marquis' Mansion.

Ji Minrou originally wanted to run a winery, but when she met He Jixiang, she got married and even broke off the engagement letter, so she hurried back to see Liu.

Ji Minrou always speaks very badly of others and always feels wronged. When Liu heard this for the first time, she didn't react.

Until she mentioned the letter of severance.

"Are you sure what she said was that Dalang signed a letter of severance with her?" Liu asked excitedly.

Ji Minrou nodded quickly.

Xiaocao had been sent away by Liu a long time ago, but she didn't leave at this moment and was listening outside.

Mrs. Liu was a little confused. Dalang had clearly told her before that he had asked a Taoist priest to calculate and found that He Jixiang's horoscope was not compatible with hers. If He Jixiang continued to stay at home, it would not be good for her.

She originally hated this concubine's daughter. The existence of He Jixiang was the biggest provocation to her dignity as the mistress of the He family. So when He Minzhi said that she wanted to send He Minzhi to the temple to practice, she agreed without saying a word.

did not expect.

He actually secretly signed a divorce agreement with that lowly concubine without telling anyone!

"I have to go and ask Dalang to verify this matter. I can't believe their one-sided story." Liu said decisively, but her hands were shaking.

This incident seems to be just a letter of severance of relationship, but it is more than just a letter of severance of relationship.

What she was afraid of was that from that time on, He Minzhi would no longer tell the truth.

Therefore, even though she had just visited He Minzhi the day before yesterday, Liu still spent money to arrange a visit to him in the Jingzhao Prefecture prison.

The main purpose is to verify the letter of severance of the relationship.

Liu told Ji Minrou about her encounter with He Jixiang on the street, saying that she was now married, surrounded by maids and mothers, and looked very impressive.

"But how could she get married secretly without her family's knowledge? Isn't she practicing in the temple?"

He Minzhi was stunned at first, then played dumb, "Marry? Impossible, how could she possibly marry? With her shameful behavior, she can't even tell east from west, south from north, and north from south once she leaves the He family. What can she do? Rou'er must have recognized the wrong person."

If you recognize the wrong person, will you know what happened between Rouer and him?

Liu didn't believe him at all. "What about the severance agreement? Rou'er said she herself said you signed it with her. It was signed and sealed by you personally. How do you want to explain it?"

"Breaking off the relationship, letter?" He Minzhi seemed to be thinking of something very distant.

At that time, he signed a divorce agreement with that lowly girl, but that was to borrow money from Xue Chenyu.

If she hadn't wanted money from Xue Chenyu, she wouldn't have...

and many more.

"That despicable bastard He Jixiang actually teamed up with Xue Chenyu to deceive me. Fine, don't let me find her, or I'll kill her!" He Minzhi was indignant, clenching his fists and looking murderous, as if he was looking for someone to fight to the death.

Liu also came back to her senses, "So, the letter of severance is true? You really let that concubine's daughter leave the He family openly?!"

"Mother, this whole thing was set up by that bitch Xue Chenyu from the very beginning! It was Xue Chenyu, it was her..."

Liu stared at him in disbelief. "Idiot! So stupid! I've been smart my whole life, how could I have given birth to such a stupid fool like you!"

If she could kill that bitch back then, she could certainly kill that bitch's daughter too! What was she keeping that bitch's daughter for? Of course, she wanted that bitch to never rest in peace in her grave!

She had originally planned the future for that bitch's daughter, and she wanted that lowly concubine to atone for the sins of her bitch concubine.

Only by making their families serve as concubines for generations to come can she relieve the hatred in her heart!

Now that He Jixiang has been easily allowed to leave the He family, how can she vent her anger? Who will calm her anger?

Liu was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction. She immediately poured the medicine she had brought for He Minzhi onto the floor and dragged Mother Huang out of the prison.

She hurried out of Jingzhao Prefecture, and before she could get on the carriage, she vomited blood in anger.

He then fainted on the spot.

Mother Huang had no choice but to take the person back and run around to get a doctor.

Liu was not angry to death, but she was completely exhausted. She fell ill and stayed in bed all day, unable to speak.

Xiaocao is the only legitimate housekeeper in the mansion.

Thus, the power of housekeeping fell into her hands.

Ji Minrou wanted to fight for Xiaocao to be the housekeeper, because she had put so much effort into this day, but Xiaocao at least had the status of a concubine, while she was just a cousin living there as a guest.

As the baby grew older, she felt increasingly overwhelmed.

Just as we were about to fight back, news of the drought in the south arrived.

Every household was buying rice and stockpiling food, and the price of food in Shengjing was rising wildly, and Ji Minrou's opportunity had come.

She had previously stockpiled a lot of food, and this gave her an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

The price of rice rose to one hundred wen, and all rice shops began to sell in limited quantities.

Ji Minrou took advantage of this opportunity and asked Zhang, the manager of the winery, to put up a sign at the door saying they were selling grain.

Manager Zhang initially disagreed and even advised her, "The court has already begun preparations for disaster relief. Acting like this is too risky and may bring disaster."

Ji Minrou sneered disapprovingly, "Don't forget that you are just a servant. When will it be your turn to be the master of me? Just do it when I ask you to do it. If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will do it."

Manager Zhang was at his wit's end and shouted, "Everyone, please bear witness. This was Madam Ji's willful act, and I was forced to do this. If we go to court one day, you will all be witnesses."

"it is good!"

Ji Minrou rolled her eyes and didn't take it seriously.

Manager Zhang also quickly followed her instructions and hung up the sign, which said one dou cost one hundred and fifty coins.

Soon, a large number of people came to buy food. Although some people complained about the high price, some still gritted their teeth and bought it, cursing while paying.

"These people are so mean! They are raising the price!"

"Aren't these unscrupulous businessmen afraid that with all this dirty money, they'll end up with babies without anus?!"

Manager Zhang stood at the door and kowtowed to everyone who scolded him. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. We're all paid by the employer. If we don't hang up the sign like this, we'll have to go home and starve."

Seeing Manager Zhang like this, most people stopped scolding him. After all, they all relied on the money from their boss to support their families.

However, there are still people who curse, but they are fewer after all, and most of them curse the black-hearted boss behind the scenes.

Ji Minrou was sitting at home, sneezing non-stop.

……

Her suicidal actions were soon heard by Xue Chenyu.

After hearing this, Xue Chenyu just calmly took a sip of tea and said, "Let her die. She will cry one day."

Yumei, who brought the news, sat cross-legged on the ground and said, "Many grain stores in the city do the same thing. I'm afraid the law won't hold everyone accountable."

Ever since Xue Chenyu knew about her relationship with Prince Cheng, she has become more and more unrestrained.

"That's not how the law of not punishing everyone is applied." Xue Chenyu pulled her thin shirt closer. A cool breeze blew outside, and she couldn't help but sneeze.

Yuzhu quickly took out a thicker piece of clothing and put it on her. "Miss, it's September now and the weather is getting colder. You must not neglect to keep warm."

As the August heat has subsided, the ice in the house has been removed, and now you can even feel a slight coolness when the wind blows.

Xue Chenyu nodded and smiled, "Okay, I won't let myself get sick and cause trouble for you."

"What are you talking about, young lady? It's our duty to take care of you." Yuzhu pouted, "But if you're sick, wouldn't it be uncomfortable for you to take medicine?"

Xue Chenyu blinked and acted honestly.
