Noble Lady

The next day, the Duke's Mansion sent an invitation in the name of Du Jingyuan, inviting the eldest daughter of the Xue family of Wu'an Marquis Mansion to visit the Duke's Mansion to appreciate the plum blossoms.

This was the first time she entertained friends after getting married, so the invitations she chose were all gold-plated and looked very beautiful.

And today, the third lady of the Duke's Mansion, Chen Lizhu, was accompanying her, and Du Jingyuan personally went to the door to greet her.

The ceremony was particularly grand.

Xue Chenyu specially wore a lotus pink deerskin Changgan Temple with cotton filling, which was warm and festive.

The light yellow double-breasted long gown he wore inside was also quite thick.

The moon-white pleated skirt was layered, and when she walked, she looked like clouds floating in the wind.

As graceful as a fairy.

"Oh my God, those who know that I invited guests may think I invited a fairy to come down to earth."

"Why don't I see anyone else from the Duke's Mansion?"

Du Jingyuan raised her eyebrows. "Why, it's not enough for me to come pick you up personally? You even want a bunch of old ladies and wives from the Duke's Mansion to pick you up. You're really putting on airs now."

Xue Chenyu rolled her eyes without hesitation, "When I visit someone's home, shouldn't I greet their elders first?"

"Also, since you just got married, I also need to know if you've been bullied or wronged. I'm thinking about you but still end up getting blamed. I shouldn't have come earlier."

The two of them were like children. Chen Lizhu covered her mouth and laughed, explaining, "Sister Xue, no one dares to mess with the fifth sister-in-law in the mansion now. She is very powerful."

"Also, the elders know that this is a banquet for the younger generation. Given their status, if they all came, they were afraid that you would feel uncomfortable, so they asked me to come and keep you company."

Xue Chenyu was much more polite to her, "But I am a guest after all. Shouldn't I pay my respects to the old lady of your house?"

Chen Lizhu nodded. "That's as it should be. Grandma means it all depends on Sister Xue."

This is the greatest respect for her.

After this year, Du Jingyuan has become famous in the Duke of Chen's Mansion. Everyone knows that she has a generous friend who can add more than twenty loads of makeup.

Afterwards, Xue Chenyu followed Du Jingyuan and Chen Lizhu to pay a visit to the old lady of the Duke's Mansion. As for the Duke's wife, she was upset and didn't want to see anyone. Du Jingyuan didn't want to see her either, so she went directly to her courtyard.

Chen Mingxuan finally recognized the Duke's family and even allocated him a large and magnificent courtyard.

Xue Chenyu had been the head of the household before, and when she came in and took a look around, she knew that every item in the yard was of great value.

She jokingly said, "Our A Yuan has really made great progress."

Du Jingyuan rolled her eyes at her angrily.

Chen Lizhu suppressed a smile and said, "Sister Xue, this courtyard is really nice. The furnishings in the courtyard also took some thought. I worried about getting these when you went south."

Xue Chenyu suddenly realized, "So it was you who arranged it. I was wondering why it was so exquisite and gorgeous, yet also had a sense of casualness."

The three of them got together and started teasing each other.

There were no elders present, so Xue Chenyu did not feel restrained when she came here, but rather felt very comfortable.

"I heard that there are several plum trees in the Duke of Chen's mansion, and they are extremely rare species. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to see them."

"See, see, I'll take you to see it right away. You're not saying that as if I'm not letting you come."

Du Jingyuan teased her while taking her to the plum garden.

After sitting down, Dujuan had already prepared tea and snacks.

Although the banquet is prepared in advance, the dishes can only be served after the guests arrive.

They sat down and had some tea, and the table of dishes was slowly served.

Afterwards, Du Jingyuan and Xue Chenyu let a few maids go out to eat, drink and play. Du Juan was not familiar with Yumei yet, so she also went to get acquainted with her.

In the room, Xue Chenyu listened with great interest while holding her chin as she listened to Chen Lizhu's story about how Du Jingyuan became so powerful after she got married.

In addition to causing embarrassment to the Duke's wife during the tea ceremony on the second day of her wedding, she also confronted the Duke's wife, who disliked her for everything, several times afterwards.

This included but was not limited to senior servants in the mansion who secretly made things difficult for her, being dragged out and beaten by her; and those who cut corners on her meals, whom she served directly to the old lady, and from then on she earned the right to run her own small kitchen.

There is so much to say.

With her martial arts skills, fearlessness, and her extremely generous dowry, she was invincible in the Duke's Mansion.

Oh, and her husband was regarded as the most promising young man of this generation by the Duke's Mansion. Everyone in the Duke's Mansion had to respect her a little, so victory was a foregone conclusion.

Xue Chenyu: "Your life over the past half month has been more exciting than your past ten years. How come you suddenly got it?"

Du Jingyuan snorted, "That's right. Ever since I humiliated the General's wife, my Ren and Du meridians have been opened up. If you don't agree, just fight. Why should I just accept it?"

Chen Lizhu looked at her and Xue Chenyu with envy, "I really envy you two. I hope I can live as freely as you in the future."

"You can do it." Du Jingyuan patted her arm and said earnestly, "Put yourself first, don't kill or set fire to others for money, and do whatever you want with the rest."

She figured it out.

Xue Chenyu couldn't stop laughing.

The three of them talked while eating. After that, Xue Chenyu asked a little about the Sixth Prince and also mentioned that she wanted to show her face in front of the Imperial Concubine.

Du Jingyuan had just married into the Duke's Mansion, and she had only met the imperial concubine once, so it wasn't a very close contact. She had never met the Sixth Prince either.

So, Xue Chenyu said this to Chen Lizhu.

Chen Lizhu didn't refuse outright. She thought for a moment and asked, "If you want to see the Imperial Concubine, it's not too difficult. But why is Sister Xue suddenly curious about the Sixth Prince?"

Xue Chenyu smiled and said nonchalantly, "I heard that the Sixth Prince and Lord Yu are not getting along, and he seems to be looking for other teachers. I want to see if my family's school is a possibility."

Chen Lizhu gasped in surprise, "The private school at the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion? Sister Xue wants the Sixth Prince to study at the school at the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion?!"

Xue Chenyu nodded without changing her expression, always with a smile on her face.

Chen Lizhu: "Your idea is truly bold. In the past, I have only heard of His Majesty allowing the children of ministers to enter the palace to serve as study companions for the princes and princesses."

"This is the first time I've heard of someone suggesting that a prince should study in a court official's home. There's never been such a precedent before."

"There is no precedent to be set. It just depends on whether this precedent is valuable." Xue Chenyu still spoke in a flat tone.

"But this is just my hypothesis. I'm telling you this first. Even if Miss Chen San agrees to take me to see the Imperial Concubine, she may not necessarily allow the Sixth Prince to study at the school in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion."

Chen Lizhu nodded, this was true.

The aunt was eager to see her son become successful, and she always attached the most importance to the Sixth Prince's studies. Every day, she had someone supervise the Sixth Prince's reading and writing, and did not allow him to slack off in the slightest.

This also led to the Sixth Prince being extremely afraid of his aunt, but he had actually sneaked out of the palace to play several times without his aunt's knowledge.

She's seen it all.

But she couldn't say such words, after all, it concerned the reputation of the Sixth Prince.

What made her hesitate was that her aunt really wanted to change the husband of the Sixth Prince.

"Looking for Mr. is indeed a matter that worries Auntie." Chen Lizhu slowed down her voice. "If Sister Xue can help Auntie resolve this matter, then everything else will be easy to deal with."
