Noble Lady

"Next, searching for people and food will be done to conceal our activities. Our high-profile trip will inevitably alert certain people, so we need Miss Xue to stir up some trouble in Haicheng County."

Situ Zhen said so.

Xue Chenyu suddenly asked, "The prince is not going, right?"

"No." Situ Zhen paused.

No matter what the reason was, he could not go out with Marquis Xue in full force.

Mutual support must be ensured.

Moreover, if they all went, it wouldn't seem like they were looking for people or food.

"Then I understand." Xue Chenyu got Situ Zhen's affirmative answer and had an idea in his mind.

She didn't ask any more questions and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute." Situ Zhen stopped her, "Miss Xue, in the memorial I submitted to His Majesty, I didn't mention your leading the troops to repel the bandits and defend the county government office. I hope you can forgive me."

Hmm? Understanding?

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Xue Chenyu felt an indescribable joy surge in her heart, and she could hardly hold back from showing it outwardly.

understanding.

How could she not understand?

She couldn't ask for more!

Xue Chenyu was originally worried that Situ Zhen would mention her more in the memorial to the emperor in order to win some reward for her, but she didn't expect that he would be so thoughtful.

Xue Chenyu then looked at Xue Hou, "Father?"

Marquis Xue also quickly said, "I also wrote a letter to the emperor about suppressing the bandits. By the way, His Majesty mentioned that when the bandits broke in, you assisted Fang Rui in hiding the elderly, children, women and children who were temporarily staying in the county government office."

Xue Chenyu could no longer suppress the smile on her lips, and laughed openly with her teeth showing.

Dad finally changed.

He is no longer the stubborn, rigid and completely inflexible person of his previous life.

This time, not only did he know to write a letter to report what he had done, he also remembered to mention her help to the elderly and children.

Just as she had worried before, the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

If she had remained calm in the face of danger and led people to repel the bandits, the situation would have been very different.

But if you are just assisting the prince and settling women and children, it will not be a big deal. At most you will get a compliment from His Majesty and it will not arouse suspicion.

It couldn't be more perfect!

My father always thought that as long as he was upright, he would not be afraid of other people's gossip.

But the bitter lesson was the same as the conclusion Xue Chenyu had drawn after reading through all the history books: a loyal minister who was blindly loyal and didn't know how to adapt and protect himself would not last long. He would also bring trouble to his family.

If you want to do it, you have to be a capable minister who is able to protect himself and his family.

Now that my father has taken the step of change, there is another opportunity to turn around the dead end of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

She could almost see the bright new future of the Wu'an Marquisate.

"Thank you, Prince, for telling me this." Xue Chenyu bowed deeply. It was half gratitude, and the other half was the indescribable throbbing in her heart.

"Yeah." Situ Zhen just responded lightly.

"Thank you also for your efforts to protect my daughter." Xue Chenyu knelt down and bowed again.

"We are father and daughter, why are we saying these things?" Marquis Xue hurriedly helped his daughter up, but he couldn't control his crazy expression and the pride in his eyes.

Most people cannot resist the temptation of fame, wealth and power, but his daughter did it.

Even if it was the merit of suppressing bandits, which could be given to any local official and would help him get promoted and make money, she could easily give it up.

Madam is right, Yu'er is a child who sees things more clearly than ordinary people.

So courageous!

Until Xue Chenyu left, all that remained in Xue Hou's eyes and heart was this very outstanding daughter.

If I had known this, I would not have been in a hurry to choose a husband for her based on worldly views. This caused Yu'er to suffer so much in vain and bear the reputation of being a second-marriage.

Thinking of this, Xue Hou clenched his fists.

At this moment, the desire to kill He Minzhi was unprecedentedly high!

……

After coming out of the study, Xue Chenyu went to Xue Luoyan's room.

She already knew what the prince and father had said, but she still needed a plan on what to do next.

Naturally, she had to sit down and think carefully about these things.

It is necessary to catch the person in the dark off guard and make a big enough noise.

It would be best if the news was enough to shock certain people in Shengjing. ...

"Sister, Yuzhu said that father and the prince specifically wanted to talk to you. Is that true?"

Xue Chenyu heard Luo Luo's voice and returned to her worried eyes. "It's true. Dad said he has some important things to do next, and asked me to take good care of you."

"Hmph, my father didn't even tell me. It's obvious that I'm more powerful than my sister." Xue Luoyan gestured with her three-section gun.

Xue Chenyu did not deny this.

In terms of fighting strength, she really couldn't even match Luo Luo's finger.

Luo Luo was born with supernatural powers, and he could learn any sword, spear, halberd, axe, halberd, hook and fork at once.

She is nothing like him. She seems to have no talent for martial arts. She can't carry anything on her shoulders or lift anything with her hands.

Do you think her father never thought of letting her learn martial arts when she was little? It was only later that he tried and found that she had no talent for it. She even learned simple self-defense moves with difficulty, so he gave up.

On the contrary, if you let her look at the account books, she will understand immediately.

So after her father was sure that she had no talent for martial arts, he gave up and let her mother take her to look at the account books.

Later, my father had fewer wars to fight and was able to go home once or twice a year, which is how Xue Xiaohuai and Luo Luo were born.

"Sister, I'm talking to you, why are you still in a daze?"

"I wasn't in a daze. I was just thinking about the time when my father asked me to do horse stance when I was a child." Xue Chenyu felt a little emotional after hearing this. "My father also wanted to train me to be a master in various fields."

"Then why did you give up?" Luoluo looked expectant.

Xue Chenyu: Let’s not talk about the dark history.

"Let's get down to business. Dad will be leaving tomorrow. You can take some time to spend more time with him today. As your sister, I have a lot of things to do."

Xue Chenyu doesn't sound old-fashioned when she speaks.

Xue Luoyan looked her up and down and said, "Sometimes I really wonder if my elder sister has been secretly replaced by someone else. She is obviously in her prime, but why does she talk like an old lady?"

Uh...Isn't it right that she should say this?

Xue Chenyu thought of a saying: The pot calling the kettle black when you're fifty steps away.

A little girl who is only ten years old can pick up a gun and kill the enemy, knocking one down with one shot.

Of course, it was her precious Luoluo. Such a gifted child would only have a one in ten million chance of appearing among four hundred million people in the world.

It needs to be cultivated well.

"What did Sister Yuzhu say? The prince asked you to do something important?" Luoluo asked persistently.

Doing big things?

"Father is going to look for the missing grain. The prince hopes I can put pressure on Datong Trading Company to stop them from doing anything rash. It's not a big deal, at most it can stabilize the rear."

It was originally a half-truth spoken casually to comfort the little girl.

But after she said this, she realized it herself.

Yes, isn't Datong Commercial Bank an excellent entry point? And there's also the private school.

Well, she knew what to do.

"Luoluo, you are really my lucky star." Xue Chenyu grabbed her sister and gave her a kiss on the little face.

Miss Xue Er always takes the initiative to kiss her elder sister. This time, her elder sister took the initiative to kiss her, which made the little girl so happy that she touched her little face and smiled like a flower.

Yuzhu said with some feeling, "I was worried that the prince would not report the fact that you led the people to repel the bandits and defend the county government office, which would have an impact on you. It seems that you are in a good mood."

"I don't care about those things. You all know that, so why would you take it to heart?" Xue Chenyu said indifferently.

After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered.

Prince Cheng... Situ Zhen said that specifically for her to hear.

He deliberately concealed the fact that she was guarding the county government office in the memorial to His Majesty. He also knew that she didn't want to be in the spotlight, right?
