Noble Lady

Chunhua hesitated for a moment, "Aunt, I'm afraid the Ji family..." will not accept my kindness.

Xiao Cao shook her head and smiled, "Whether they accept it or not is their business, but whether I express it or not is my intention."

Chunhua thought about it and prepared some supplements for the woman's body.

Mother Huang also retreated.

Xiaocao let out a long breath, although the girl deliberately did not mention Ji Minrou in front of her.

But Ji Minrou's existence cannot be erased.

But she deserved this outcome.

Whether she was delivering letters or supplements to the Ji family, she only followed one principle: she had to let outsiders know that she was different from the other people in the He family.

Otherwise, wouldn’t all the effort the girl put into setting up this plan be in vain?

……

Coming out of the courtyard, Xue Chenyu looked up at the blue sky above his head.

The sky is clear and cloudless.

I don't think it will snow again in the near future.

She slowly let out a breath, and finally settled the He family, sent He Minzhi away, and sent Ji Minrou back to the Ji family. This group of people should never have the chance to stir up trouble like in the previous life.

However, nowadays she doesn't like "should", she wants to make sure everything is perfect.

She had to make sure that once He Minzhi left Shengjing, she would never be able to return to the capital, and she would not be able to collude with Princess Duanyang of the eldest princess's family as she did in her previous life.

"Xia He, go and help me with something." Xue Chenyu waved her hand, motioning Xia He to come forward.

Upon hearing this, Xia He stepped forward and heard Xue Chenyu whisper a few words. Her eyes sank slightly and she nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely take care of it."

"Well, don't worry, let's go back home first." Xue Chenyu said lightly.

……

When Suying brought the news of He Ruyi, Xue Chenyu had changed into an apricot-yellow middle dress and was sitting in front of the dressing table, letting Yuzhu comb her hair.

"He Ruyi originally intended to thank the young lady in person, but considering her and the young lady's status, it would be inappropriate for them to be too close and arouse suspicion, so she asked this servant to pass on the message."

"She said, thank you Miss Xue for helping me get revenge..."

At that time, He Ruyi learned that He Minzhi was demoted to Lingnan and Liu was so angry that she collapsed on the spot. She was overjoyed.

But the first thing he did after reacting was to kowtow to Suying.

"Thank you, Miss Xue, for helping me get revenge. If it weren't for Miss Xue's far-reaching and careful planning, I would never have had the chance to take revenge in my life."

"Please ask Miss Suying to convey a message to Miss Xue for me. Tell her that the former He Ruyi is dead. From now on, I will live for my new self. I also thank Miss Xue for giving me the opportunity to be reborn."

"I was the one who wronged her in the past, and he repaid her with kindness. Why not repay her in this life? If there is an afterlife, I will repay her kindness with a gift of grass and a ring, and work like a slave to repay her kindness."

Su Ying conveyed He Ruyi's words exactly.

After hearing this, Xue Chenyu paused for a moment, then glanced at Su Ying and said, "Just tell He Ruyi to take good care of herself in the future."

"I've long since given up on arguing with her about what happened before. As for this time, we're just getting what we need."

"I used her to get rid of He Minzhi and Liu, and she also used me to avenge them, making He Minzhi and Liu pay the price they deserved."

"From now on, we are done with each other. There is no need to ask for any favors from the gods. She just needs to keep her promise and keep her mouth shut."

The reason why she was able to turn the tide so smoothly by using the trap set by He Minzhi was because of the key figure He Ruyi.

Because Chen Lizhu was expressing her feelings in front of the Imperial Concubine, she took the opportunity to tell the Imperial Concubine the story of the unfortunate woman whose bridal sedan was nearly knocked over by a frightened horse when she got married, and her dowry was scattered all over the ground like stones.

She also said that she could have been happy after marriage, but her own brother pushed her into miscarriage. Not only did she suffer heavy bleeding and lose the baby, she almost lost her own life.

The person who pushed her - her own brother - not only did not look at her, never apologized, but also showed no remorse.

Even her biological mother stood on her brother's side.

She escaped death, but her mother not only never even looked at her, but even when her husband took the opportunity to promote her maid to concubine and favor his concubine over his wife, her mother left her to fend for herself in her husband's family.

In Chen Lizhu's description, He Ruyi is simply the most miserable woman in the world.

My father died early, my mother doesn't love me, and my brother is talented but a complete bastard.

After finally getting married, her dowry was replaced with stones by her brother, which caused her to be looked down upon by her husband's family. The maid she valued also betrayed her, and in the end she couldn't even keep her child.

Concubine Chen naturally didn't believe that such a thing could exist in the world. "Although men are considered precious in this world, women shouldn't be looked down upon like this. It's not like there aren't women in Dasheng who are engaged in business and studying. They are also a family of scholars."

Chen Lizhu spread her hands and said, "The prejudice in people's hearts is as huge as a mountain. If Auntie doesn't believe it, there's nothing I can do."

Concubine Chen only believed what she saw with her own eyes, so she took the opportunity to leave the palace and insisted that Chen Lizhu take her to see it.

Then he saw a young woman with a haggard face and lifeless eyes standing at the cliff of Qinglong Temple for a long time, almost jumping off.

Concubine Chen had someone rescue her, but she just kept crying, saying that she had a miserable life, that she was blind and sorry for the only person who had been good to her, that there was no meaning in living now, etc.

The imperial concubine was deeply shocked and told the story to His Majesty when she returned.

Later, another censor wrote a letter to impeach He Minzhi, and it was natural for He Minzhi to be demoted.

Among them, Chen Lizhu played a significant role, but the most crucial thing was He Ruyi's misery and hopelessness in life.

She is the one who can truly gain people's trust.

If He Ruyi hadn't come forward to share his experience, how could things have gone so smoothly?

But when it came down to it, she and He Ruyi were just using each other for their own needs, and she had no interest in being exploited and sucked dry by that kind of person anymore.

"Yes, girl."

Su Ying nodded in agreement. She knew the girl's temper. There were few decent people in the He family, so the girl would naturally not want to have anything to do with He Ruyi anymore.

"By the way, keep an eye on the courtyard and help Aunt Zhao look after He Minzhi. Make sure he leaves Beijing on time."

"The servant understands."

Your Majesty has already issued the imperial decree to demote He Minzhi to Lingnan. In order to prevent him from delaying his departure from the capital on the pretext of being seriously injured, we must be on guard against him making any further moves.

He Minzhi's life is as hard as a stone in a toilet, and it seems that he can never be killed, so we must keep an eye on him once and for all.

Suying retreated.

Xue Chenyu shook her head. She had been wearing her hair in a bun all day and her hair was full of hairpins, pearls and jade. Her head did feel a bit heavy. Now that she had taken them off, she felt much more relaxed.

"Girl, please soak your feet again." Yuzhu said.

Xue Chenyu thought about it and nodded.

soon.

Yuzhu went to fetch some hot water, added the foot bath medicine bag specially prepared by Doctor Xu from Jishan Hall, and brought it in.

Weng Xuemei also came in skipping and happily squeezed next to Xue Chenyu.

"Girl, He Minzhi's ending is truly satisfying."

Xue Chenyu smiled and said nothing.

Because this outcome is not the final result, she has to wait until she is sure that He Minzhi will never be able to recover before celebrating.

Yuzhu took off Xue Chenyu's shoes and socks and put her feet into hot water, which made Xue Chenyu hiss.

"So hot."

"It's better to have hot water for foot soaking. If it's cold, it won't be effective."

Xue Chenyu frowned, but did not refute.

"During the trip to Lingnan, my feet have suffered a lot. Now the scars from the blisters are slowly disappearing. Fortunately, the blisters are on the feet and cannot be seen by outsiders, otherwise..." Wouldn't it be a blemish on such a good-looking body?

Yuzhu didn't say the second half of the sentence, mainly because she felt it was too ambiguous.

Apart from the servants, only the girl's future husband is qualified to see her pair of beautiful feet.

Even He Minzhi had never seen him before.

"It happened so long ago, there's no need to bring it up again." Xue Chenyu whispered.
