Noble Lady
Chapter 379 A world of difference
He Ruyi knelt on the ground and thought a lot.
From her insistence on marrying Cui Hua to He Minzhi bringing people to attack Cui's house, she almost lost two lives.
After so long, her mother's attitude towards her has become clear to her.
He Minzhi almost killed her, but he showed no remorse, and his mother never came to see her.
Huang's mother just asked hypocritically, and the so-called supplements she brought were just some cheap stuff.
From childhood to adulthood, her eldest brother has been her pride and her hope for a title.
As for me, my mother always said: "What use can a girl like you be? You are nothing but a money-loser."
"Learn needlework and knitting well, and marry into a respectable family in the future. I don't expect you to do anything, but if you can help your eldest brother a little, I'll consider you a good match."
After a long time.
He Ruyi wiped away her tears and stood up by herself with the help of a chair.
"What does Miss Xue want me to do?"
Xue Chenyu asked her back, "Have you thought it through?"
"Think it through."
It was Xue Chenyu's words that woke her up.
In the eyes of some people, only sons are human beings, and daughters are just money-losing goods used to pave the way for their sons.
If you can't pave the road, then don't even bother about life or death.
It has been so long, and I have experienced life and death several times, but my mother has never even come to see me. In her heart, it probably doesn't make much difference whether her daughter is alive or dead.
Now Cui Hua dares to raise Yu Shu as his concubine and bully her like this, isn’t it because no one in her family cares about her life or death?
If we don't solve the problem from the root, just like Xue Chenyu said, if this Jade Book is gone, there will be a second, third, and fourth one. ...
She wants to live.
When I chose Cui Hua, wasn't it because I wanted to get rid of my mother's control and live a good life?
"What does Miss Xue need me to do?" He Ruyi asked, his eyes no longer blank but determined.
"You're in such a terrible state. What can you do to help me?" Xue Chenyu looked her up and down. "You'd better take care of yourself before you can help me."
He Ruyi was stunned. "I, I know about Cui Hua. He approached me because he was going to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion."
"I know." Xue Chenyu said calmly, "If it's just news like this, it's worthless. You have to recover so you have the energy to do other things."
After a pause, she continued, "How can we go back to the He family to settle accounts with that mother and son if we don't have the strength?"
A light bulb went off in He Ruyi's head and he understood immediately.
"Yes, thank you Miss Xue for your guidance. I will take good care of her." He Ruyi said, bowing to her. "My dowry has been seized by someone. Please help me, Miss Xue."
Xue Chenyu glanced at Su Ying and said, "Help her. When she has the strength to act like a normal person, bring her to see me."
"Yes, girl."
He Ruyi also bowed deeply towards Xue Chenyu.
She never expected that when she was in such a desperate situation, the person who was willing to help her was Xue Chenyu.
Afterwards, Su Ying sent He Ruyi and his servant away.
The man who came in covered in dust and looked ashen, now had a gleam in his eyes when he left.
Xue Chenyu looked at her back and just shook his head without saying a word.
Then, He Jixiang walked out from behind the screen.
Now she has a face like a jade plate, a plump figure, and a well-fitting brocade dress. Her every move and gesture shows the demeanor of a hostess. She is completely different from He Ruyi who just left.
Who could have imagined that the He family's legitimate daughter and concubine's daughter would have such a reversal of fate and go to their respective extremes?
"I didn't expect that she would have fallen to such a state." She also looked at the direction where He Ruyi left, feeling full of emotion.
Xue Chenyu met her gaze and said calmly, "This is her own choice, no one else's fault. However, since she still wants to struggle to survive, I will give her a hand."
He Jixiang paused, then bowed deeply to Xue Chenyu. "Sister Xue, I will never forget your kindness! If it weren't for you and Madam Xue, I don't know where I would be."
"Everything you have now is the result of your own hard work. I just helped you push from behind." Xue Chenyu did not take credit for it.
I don't know what he was thinking about, but he teased Dong Ah, "But your family's wife followed my father north. If you are too scared to sleep at home, you can move to the Marquis' Mansion and stay for a few days."
Hear the words.
He Jixiang's face flushed red immediately. "...Sister Xue, you're teasing me again, I, I..."
"Then just ignore me." Xue Chenyu smiled and finished the second half of her sentence.
He Jixiang snorted in annoyance, "Sister Xue, just make fun of me. Wait until you get married and see if I will laugh at you."
Xue Chenyu spread her hands, indicating that she didn't care.
Of course, He Jixiang was just talking.
After a while.
Jinyi Pavilion welcomed another distinguished guest.
Shopkeeper Qiu personally led the Duke's daughter and new bride up, then knocked on the door of the private room where Xue Chenyu was.
Xue Chenyu stood up to greet him with a smile, and Shopkeeper Qiu was tactful enough to remove the cold tea and refill it to welcome the guest.
Du Jingyuan brought new gossip to Xue Chenyu, such as the Ninth Princess knew that Yu Hongxi, the eldest grandson of Yu Ge Lao, was married and was under house arrest at the time of the wedding, but she still pestered him afterwards.
Years ago, she was again confined to her room by Concubine Wei because of this incident, and was only released at the Lantern Festival banquet hosted by the Empress Dowager not long ago.
It's only been a few days and they've already set their sights on Chen Mingxuan again.
But Chen Mingxuan is a stubborn person. He never paid much attention to the Ninth Princess before, and now he is even less interested in her Royal Highness the Princess.
Du Jingyuan sighed as she spoke, "This Ninth Princess is also from a royal family. Doesn't she want a good husband of equal status? But she always has to chase after other people's husbands. What's her reason?"
It can be heard that she is not worried at all about the Ninth Princess's entanglement with Chen Mingxuan, and she is even worried about the Ninth Princess.
Chen Lizhu praised her generosity and grumbled, "Fifth Brother said he wanted to go back to his previous residence, but now he's living in the Duke's Mansion, and even the Ninth Princess is pestering him. If he moves out, wouldn't that make things more convenient for her?"
Du Jingyuan: "That's not what he said. He feels uncomfortable living in the Duke's Mansion. He feels more comfortable and at ease in his own place."
This was Chen Mingxuan's idea, and also her idea.
Having lived in the General's Mansion for more than ten years, how could she not know what it felt like to be bound by rules? She wasn't bound by rules at the Duke's Mansion just yet, only because Chen Mingxuan had a promising future and she had just married into the family.
After a while, those rules will inevitably come into play.
Chen Lizhu had no way to refute this.
Even if they are given more freedom in the Duke's Mansion, there are still restrictions. However, they have to visit their parents in the morning and evening. The whole family eats at several tables, big and small. It seems lively, but in fact, there are constraints everywhere.
It is indeed impossible for Fifth Brother to live as comfortably outside.
The two of them were discussing heatedly, and it took them a long time to realize that Xue Chenyu hadn't said a word.
"Xue Xiaoyu, why are you so quiet today? Are you..." Is there something you can't tell?
Du Jingyuan looked over in confusion, only to find that Xue Chenyu's face was pale.
