Noble Lady

Ji Minrou nodded pitifully, "Last time, Madam said that there was no money left in the family account, and she had been using her dowry to supplement it. Now that she can no longer make up for it, she wants to hand over the housekeeping power, but my aunt refused to agree."

"I told my cousin, and you also said at the time that the He family doesn't need a woman's dowry to cover the family expenses."

He Minzhi's face turned green, and he kept saying, "When did our He family fall to the point where we have to use women's dowries to cover the family expenses? Since she works so hard and still has to use her own dowry, then we don't need her to be the housekeeper anymore!"

Ji Minrou pouted pitifully and said, "My aunt wouldn't let me. Now seeing how hard her life is, I can't bear it..."

"I know my mother values ​​etiquette the most," He Minzhi said sullenly, "but Mrs. Xue is too arrogant! She can do whatever she wants to me, but she has to be disrespectful to my mother!"

Also, the sedan chair was suddenly carried away today, and he felt that this matter was also related to Xue Chenyu.

I really spoiled her too much in the past, which is why she is so ignorant of the immensity of the world.

"As for my aunt..."

"Don't worry, I will take care of mother's side." He Minzhi vowed.

Xue Chenyu dared to make trouble for Qiao because she was just relying on her background in the Marquis' Mansion.

But every time, she would give in with just a few words and a little sweetness from him.

It's always like this, it's really boring.

Since Xue Chenyu wanted to threaten him with the power of housekeeper, he would let her see that using Qiao to make trouble would not always work.

By then it will be too late for her to regret.

What he didn't know was that Xue Chenyu would not regret it at all and would only give her full approval.

……

Early in the morning, He Minzhi came to Furongju in person.

Compared to Yuzhu's perfunctory attitude last night where she just came out and said a few words before sending the person away, Yuzhu's attitude today was much better.

He politely opened the door, invited the person in, and served him a cup of tea.

He Minzhi was determined to find fault, so he snorted coldly and looked down on him.

"No need to be so hypocritical. I don't care. Call your master out."

Yuzhu had a smile on her face and was not angry. She asked him to wait a moment and she would go and ask the girl to come over.

He Minzhi: "Humph!"

After Yuzhu left, Shitou whispered, "Sir, look at them like this. Do they know you're coming to take back the stewardship? Are they scared?"

"Humph, it would be best if she's scared." He Minzhi said disdainfully, "Even if she's scared now, I won't back down."

Although he said this, he was thinking in his heart: If Xue Chenyu could honestly admit her mistake to him and apologize, he would not be unwilling to forgive her.

Shitou nodded vigorously in agreement. "That's right, the lady is using her power as the housekeeper to threaten you. If you don't teach her a lesson, she will definitely become more aggressive."

He Minzhi's face turned slightly cold, and it was obvious that he felt the same way.

Yumei rolled her eyes where they couldn't see.

What kind of misunderstanding did He Minzhi have about himself that made the girl look down on him? He even said that the girl was blackmailing him with all the housekeepers. How shameless of him!

If the prince were here, he might have beaten him up.

Unfortunately, she is just a maid in Furongju now, so it is not easy to take action.

Soon.

Xue Chenyu brought Yuzhu over.

She was wearing a colorful spring dress today. The already lustrous fabric, coupled with the appropriate tailoring and exquisite workmanship, all showed that the dress was very expensive.

Because it was early in the morning, she must have gotten up in a hurry. Her pretty face was bare without any makeup, and her hair was tied up in a simple bun, but there was an indescribable beauty in her.

Especially against the backdrop of the morning light, it glows white, as if it is a fairy walking down from the palace.

Graceful and graceful.

He Minzhi almost stared out of his wits.

Shi Tou coughed, then came to his senses and immediately put on airs.

Only then did he realize that Xue Chenyu did not come empty-handed. Qiu Hua Dongyue was following behind her, holding a small box.

"I wonder what brings you here at such an old age, Lord He?" She smiled and bowed, as if there were no previous series of unpleasantness.

He Minzhi couldn't help but sneer in his heart. She was really playing hard to get and waiting for him to take the bait.

She did so much just to make him come over and look at her more.

The daughter raised in the Xue family's mansion is no more than this.

The means are really childish and clumsy.

He Minzhi: "Xue Chenyu, I know what you want to do. You just want me to come to your place more often. But you should never disrespect my mother."

Xue Chenyu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

He Minzhi continued to talk to himself, "Didn't you say that you used your own dowry to help with household expenses? When did our He family fall to the point where we have to use women's dowries to cover the family expenses? Since you work so hard, I don't need you to be the housekeeper anymore."

"Are you serious, Master He?!"

"A man's word is his bond, and it is certain he will never lie."

Xue Chenyu: The surprise came too quickly, and I was a little caught off guard.

Yuzhu and the others were also filled with joy, but they tried to control themselves, fearing that they would actually laugh out loud.

Only Xue Chenyu, with an unbridled look of joy, asked Qiuhua to bring the small box over.

"In that case, Master He, please take the storeroom keys and account books back with you. This will save me from having to go back to Ciwenyuan again."

"Of course, it would be best for Master He to review the account books in person. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Now it was He Minzhi's turn to be dumbfounded.

No, she just gave him the keys and account books so easily?

Shouldn't she make some requests, such as asking him to stay in Furong for a few more nights and come back to have dinner with her in the evening?

how come……

Seeing the momentary surprise on He Minzhi's face, Xue Chenyu was afraid that he would go back on his word, so she quickly pushed the small box in front of him.

"If Lord He doesn't want to look at the account books here, you can take them back and look at them later. After all, these are things, and I am in the mansion, so I can't run away."

He Minzhi was dizzy, and she just pushed the thing in front of her.

He only saw a few account books, a bunch of keys, and a few taels of silver inside.

His mind was suddenly filled with confusion and chaos. He just grabbed the small box in his arms and stood up and left in a daze.

"Master He, take care." Xue Chenyu was as happy as if she had just received one or two million taels of silver from He Minzhi.

"Sir, please wait for me." Shitou just reacted and ran after him.

Things happened too quickly and too smoothly. The maids didn't come to their senses until He Minzhi left Furongju.

Yumei quickly closed the gate, fearing that he would change his mind and come back.

"Girl, this way he can't get in."

Xue Chenyu: "Well done."
