Noble Lady

Situ Zhen was using his own way of implicitly telling her, "I understand you."

Do you understand me?

It turned out to be the case.

Xue Chenyu stroked her heart with one hand, feeling warm and hot.

The heart that she thought had been frozen for two lifetimes, slowly and quietly began to thaw. ...

Yumei stayed in the study for a while before coming back.

Xue Chenyu was no longer surprised.

Given her status and having already avenged her great hatred, she will have to go back sooner or later.

Now I have gradually been working around the prince, and I can be said to be getting on the right track ahead of time.

"The prince has no other instructions, right?" Xue Chenyu asked Yumei.

Yumei shook her head. "My junior uncle asked me to stay and run errands for the young lady and learn some things."

"Hmm." Xue Chenyu paused and said, "Come to think of it, it wasn't you who signed the indenture, was it the girl from Lingxin Villa?"

Yumei nodded hesitantly.

"okay I know."

Yumei suddenly panicked when she heard Xue Chenyu say this so quietly, "Miss, do you not want me anymore? I, I didn't mean to lie to you."

"From the beginning, I just wanted to have fun... Junior Master didn't know I came here on my own... This was all my own decision. Miss, please don't blame Junior Master..."

She was about to cry as she spoke.

Xue Chenyu looked at the little girl with red eyes in front of him, and could not connect her with the man who had pierced the Black Tiger Bandit Leader Pei Dahu with a single knife.

But in fact, they are indeed the same person.

"Look at you, you can't even deny yourself any responsibility, yet you're still speaking up for your junior uncle. Are you so worried that I'll blame him?"

Yumei pouted and silently agreed.

"Have you forgotten that your junior uncle is the heir of Prince Cheng's palace, a dignified young prince and the nephew of His Majesty? And I am just the daughter of a general who was made a marquis through military merit."

"There's a huge gap between our statuses. Even if I were truly angry, what could I do to the dignified Crown Prince?"

Yumei pouted in frustration and muttered, "...That's not what you meant. Junior Master-Uncle has been fond of you for a long time. Everyone knows that he almost..."

Before he could finish his words, Xue Chenyu covered his mouth.

This girl is becoming more and more reckless now. Doesn't she see Luoluo is still here?

She really dares to say anything.

The sharp-eared Miss Xue Er had already pricked up her ears. After hearing something incredible, her gossip spirit burned fiercely. She grabbed Yumei and asked, "Sister, sister, does the prince like you?"

Xue Chenyu's face flushed.

"I told you, every time my sister comes home, the prince will find an excuse to come to our house. He looks at my sister the same way my father looks at my mother. I'm sure I'm not wrong."

"Luoluo, stop talking."

"Sister, since you've already divorced that incompetent He Minzhi, shouldn't you think carefully about the Crown Prince?"

"Fall down."

Xue Luoyan not only continued to talk, but also counted on his fingers, "He is good at martial arts, taller than He Minzhi, more handsome than He Minzhi, and he is the prince of the palace. He can see His Majesty anytime he wants. How is he not better than that ugly guy?"

"Xue, Luo, Yan!"

Luoluo suddenly felt a chill behind her. She turned around and saw her elder sister showing a long-lost "loving" look in her eyes.

"Xue, Luo, Yan, now even you can plot against my sister, right?" She smiled "affably".

"Help! My sister is hitting someone—"

"Sister is shy! She is angry out of shame——"

Luoluo couldn't help but shiver, then rushed out of the door as if running for her life.

Little, rabbit, cub!

Xue Chen's fish teeth were almost broken by biting.

Little girl, don't let her catch you, otherwise she will be in trouble!

Behind them, Yuzhu and Yumei looked at each other eagerly and stood straight and obediently.

"Yuzu." Xue Chenyu suddenly turned around.

Yuzhu, who was named, straightened her back and said, "I'm here, girl."

"Prepare my invitation. We will go visit Mr. Zheng tomorrow morning."

Yuzhu: Ah?

Her girl changed so quickly that she couldn't react immediately.

"Go call Xia He over, and then invite Chief Yao." Xue Chenyu ordered again.

Although Yuzhu hadn't fully understood what was going on, she just did as the girl instructed.

So, I did it very quickly.

"Yumei."

"here I am."

"What's your real name?"

Yumei looked at Xue Chenyu blankly. Could it be that after she said so much, the girl was still going to chase her away immediately?

"Girl, I..."

"Forget it. This isn't Shengjing City after all. If I call you by your real name, it won't be good for you. Besides, Yuzhu and the others are used to hearing you called Yumei. If I change my name, they probably won't be able to get used to it."

Under Yumei's stunned gaze, Xue Chenyu talked to himself, dipped his fingers in tea, and wrote and drew on the table.

Yumei stood opposite her. From this angle, there was a bit of reflection, and the words written in water were not very clear, but she could vaguely make out that the word "Datong" was written on the left and the word "Sishu" was written on the right.

The word "Wang" was written under "Datong", followed by an "x", and then the word "Zheng" was written under the word "Psishu".

Is Zheng Duoqi the one who taught the private school? What do the "Wang" and "X" in Datong Trading Company mean?

Yumei also discovered that even though she had been with the girl for so long, she still couldn't figure out her thoughts.

"Girl, Xia He is here."

As Yuzhu was talking, she brought Xiahe in.

Xue Chenyu waved, "Please sit down."

Then he instructed Yuzhu and Yumei, "Go guard the door. If you see Luoluo, let her go and accompany Qiuhua and the others."

"Yes, girl."

Xue Chenyu dismissed the people around him, naturally because he had something special to explain.

Only she and Xia He knew the following conversation.

The two talked in the room for a while, and then Yao Biaotou arrived.

Xue Chenyu's voice came from inside the room, "Please invite Yao Biaotou in."

Yuzhu opened the door and invited Yao Biaotou in.

Xia He stood up and stood behind Xue Chenyu.

"Captain Yao, I have another important task for you." Xue Chenyu said solemnly.

The last time she looked so serious was when the bandits were about to attack the county government office.

Escort Captain Yao couldn't help but cheer up. "Just follow Miss Xue's instructions. Our Weiwu Escort Agency has been working with Datong Trading Company for many years, and it's not the first time we've escorted their cargo."

"As long as it is within my ability, Yao will never refuse."

Xue Chenyu paused for a moment and pursed her lips almost imperceptibly.

"...This time, I'm afraid it might be a little dangerous. I will tell Escort Commander Yao everything in detail. As for whether he will do it or not, it all depends on his true feelings. I will never force anyone."

"Miss Xue, please feel free to tell me what difficulties you have. Yao is not a coward, and the brothers in the escort agency are not the kind of people who would back down in the face of danger."

"Thanks to Datong Trading Company and Madam Xue, we have earned a lot of money to settle down. Now that the eldest girl is in trouble, it is time for us to help."

At first, they protected Xue Chenyu and her female companions because of the reputation of Datong Commercial Bank and Wu'an Marquis Mansion, and because they had received money from them.

But along the way, her virtues were enough to convince everyone.

They work in the escort agency, and loyalty is their top priority. A noble lady from Shengjing like Miss Xue, regardless of her own safety, traveled to Lingnan to help these people who had no relatives or friends with her.

Even a stone man would be moved.

Xue Chenyu: "This matter involves a traitor from the Haicheng County branch of the Datong Trading Company. This person may have colluded with local gentry. It is very dangerous. Yao, the escort leader, will you please ask the brothers in the escort agency for their opinions?"

"Don't worry, young lady. I've already asked the brothers before I came here, and they all believe in you."

In this way, Xue Chenyu no longer had any worries.

But this trip was dangerous. Even though the brothers in the escort agency trusted her, she still promised that if anyone got injured or sick, she would take full responsibility.

Yao Biaotou naturally agreed readily.
