Noble Lady

Xue Chenyu finally reacted, "Why did you call the young lady? Don't forget, you are the concubine Zhao of the He family, and now you are in charge of the He family's finances. If others hear it, it will reflect badly on you."

"But calling her 'Miss Xue' is too difficult to pronounce. It's easier to say 'Miss'." Xiaocao said innocently.

"Besides, I was born a slave. It was you, young lady, who gave me the indenture and made me your concubine. I will never forget your kindness to Xiaocao in my life."

Xiaocao became serious, as if she was about to kneel down if Xue Chenyu refused to call her girl.

In fact, she actually knelt down.

"What are you doing?" Xue Chenyu looked at her in annoyance.

Yumei was faster and immediately grabbed the person who was about to kneel down.

Xiaocao pouted in grievance, "Girl, I...I want to be yours, I want to repay you."

Xue Chenyu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Yumei pulled him up while muttering, "Just repay the favor, why kneel with a belly? It's so bad for the child. We'll have to use him against He Minzhi in the future."

Xiaocao thought about it and realized, yes, this child is very precious and he has to be kept to deal with Ji Minrou and He Minzhi.

Once the idea became clear, she was no longer stubborn.

"Miss, since the identity of the doctor who found the He family is not simple, shouldn't we draw his appearance so that we can look for his whereabouts?" Yumei suggested again.

Xue Chenyu thought for a moment and said, "That's true, but there's no suitable painter here. I'll ask Aunt Zhao to come over when I find a suitable candidate someday."

Xiaocao also said: "I am ready to cooperate at any time, and so is Chunhua."

"Yes, yes, yes. There's me too. I can help too." Chunhua was very enthusiastic.

How could she not be enthusiastic? Her life was given by Xue Chenyu.

Although she is now with Aunt Zhao, she knows that the person who really helps her behind the scenes is Miss Xue.

As the old saying goes, a favor will be remembered for a thousand years, and a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. She will never forget it in her life.

"Okay, I know you are all suitable. I will notify you when I find the right person." Xue Chenyu said with a smile.

Yumei, the youngest in the room, took a step forward and asked, "Why don't you ask me?"

"Hmm? What do you want to ask?" Xue Chenyu asked in confusion, then immediately realized, "Do you know any talented painters? If you have a good candidate to recommend, I'll give you a set of clothes later."

Yumei puffed out her cheeks and asked, "Why don't you ask me, young lady?"

Xue Chenyu: “Hmm?”

"You asked me if I can paint? I can paint." Yumei pouted her lips.

Xue Chenyu saw the shadow of his sister Xue Luoyan in her.

Is it because they are closer in age? Or is it because they are both gifted with extraordinary talents and martial arts skills at a young age, so their personalities are also particularly simple and straightforward?

"Wait, what did you say?" Xue Chenyu realized it belatedly.

Seeing that she finally showed her doubts, Yumei's usual calm expression suddenly changed, and she grinned, "Miss, you didn't expect that I am a master of painting!"

Xue Chenyu touched his nose: I really didn’t expect it, but I figured it out.

"In that case, I'll ask Shopkeeper Qiu to prepare the paints, and you paint the portrait of Doctor Yang."

"Yes!"

All three people involved were happy.

The grass and spring flowers who were in charge of the memories and descriptions were very happy, and Yumei, who was ready to shine, was also very happy.

Xue Chenyu smiled and had to let Qiuhua make the difficult trip.

Qiuhua: "Whether it's hard or not, it's all what I deserve."

She could hardly hold it back any longer. If she didn't go out, she would laugh out loud in front of all of them.

The young lady has calculated everything about the little girl Yumei very clearly and thoroughly.

A few moments.

Shopkeeper Qiu brought the best paints and followed Qiuhua over.

She had heard that the boss had a master of painting, so she wanted to come and broaden her horizons. Unexpectedly, the legendary master of painting was a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, a little girl who had always been by the boss's side.

At this time, Shopkeeper Qiu couldn't help but sigh: The girl seemed to have a blessing from heaven, always giving people endless surprises.

"Miss, this is the paint you wanted. It's the same one Sanniang uses on a daily basis, and they're all top quality." Shopkeeper Qiu quickly placed the paint on the table.

"Thank you." Yumei said as she walked forward happily.

Xue Chenyu also said, "Please trouble Shopkeeper Qiu to make a trip."

Shopkeeper Qiu hurriedly said he dared not.

Next it was Yumei's turn to show her expertise. Based on Xiaocao and Chunhua's descriptions, she first sketched out an outline, and then filled in the three parts and five eyes bit by bit.

Then there are the hairstyles, clothing, court boots, and so on.

After the general operation, a confident and proud medical officer comes to life on paper.

"Yes, yes, that's him, that's it!"

Xiaocao and Chunhua were extremely excited when they looked at the portrait.

The drawing was exactly the same as what they saw, even the wrinkles at the end of the eyes and the mole on the tip of the nose were drawn in. It was so similar.

"Yumei is amazing. This is a stroke of genius." Qiuhua, who has always been frugal with words, praised.

The little girl felt embarrassed by her praise, "...Sister Qiuhua, I will be shy if you do this." She held her little face with her hands exaggeratedly, as if she was really shy.

Qiuhua smiled and then presented the portrait to Xue Chenyu.

"This man's demeanor is calm and composed, and he certainly doesn't look like an ordinary person." Xue Chenyu pondered for a moment, "Meimei, could you please draw a few more pictures?"

Yumei nodded happily.

Xue Chenyu added, "We will use this painting as a clue to continue our investigation. If we can find the person who is behind He Minzhi's opposition to the Marquis' Mansion and covets the Marquis' Mansion, you will be credited with the first achievement."

"Then can I stay with the girl?!" Yumei's voice suddenly rose.

Xue Chenyu pretended to think about it with difficulty, and Xiao Yumei was so anxious that she was running around in circles.

However, everyone could see that she was just teasing the child.

Just when Yumei was about to lose her patience, Xue Chenyu suddenly smiled brightly, "If we can catch the culprit behind this, you can decide your own coming and going."

"Okay! I'm going to get serious from now on, so don't bother me!"

Xue Chenyu's words made the little girl very motivated, for she was afraid that if she missed this opportunity, she would be sent back to her junior master.

"Okay, okay, then you just draw well. It all depends on you." Xue Chenyu said with a smile.

The little girl's tail was lifted up to the sky after hearing this compliment.

Then everyone left the private room.

In fact, everyone can see that the girl/boss is reluctant to part with Yumei.

There may be something else going on that they don't know about, but the girl must have her reasons for doing this.

Well, that's right.

Everyone present was Miss Xue's loyal supporter.

While Yumei was working hard on painting alone, Xue Chenyu went to pick out some fabric.

Since I said I would give Xiao Yumei a set of clothes, I must do what I say.

"The girl obviously doesn't want to leave Yumei, so why does she insist on driving her away and always scaring her?" Qiuhua asked the question that she had always wanted to ask.

Xue Chenyu glanced at her and said without explanation: "From now on, just call her Meimei."

Qiuhua nodded without thinking.

She naturally didn't know that before Xue Chenyu returned to Beijing, she had a serious and in-depth discussion with Situ Zhen about whether Yumei should stay or go.
