Noble Lady

Although she suffered a lot during her trip to Lingnan, she felt it was worth it.

Although she failed to save everyone, she saved so many people and her attitude was better than in her previous life.

More importantly, she has already figured out the mastermind behind the massacre of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

But there is too little evidence now, and many things are just inferences. More evidence is needed to prove her inferences.

But at least not the whole family was killed, but they were completely in the dark without even knowing who killed them.

"It was because the young lady was kind and had arranged for people to come to the He family early on that she was able to provide timely assistance when Ji Minrou had a miscarriage after being pushed by He Minzhi, and she also asked Aunt Zhao to inform the Ji family."

"If it were someone else, someone who stole someone else's husband and committed adultery, who would care whether she lived or died?"

In Yuzhu's opinion, if the girl had not been kind enough to ask someone to see Ji Minrou as soon as she found that something was wrong with her, Ji Minrou would have bled to death on the spot.

Of course, this was indeed Xue Chenyu's good intention, and she was planning for the next move.

But Yuzhu just felt unhappy.

"I don't care whether she lives or dies, but don't you think that after all the bad things she's done, it would be too easy for her to just die like this? Besides, she's more valuable alive than dead."

Yuzhu thought about it and agreed.

He Minzhi favored a cousin who was not even a concubine. The two of them had an affair without any official status. He even registered the illegitimate child born by Suo Sheng under the name of his legitimate wife and plotted to seize his wife's dowry and property.

What Ji Minrou had always wanted was the position of He Minzhi's legitimate wife and a generous dowry from the girl.

Fortunately, the girl was smart and withdrew in time. If she were an ordinary girl from another family, she would have been plotted to death by Ji Minrou and the mother and son of the He family if she had married into such a family.

If Ji Minrou were to die like this, it would be too easy for her.

"Ji Minrou is a mean-spirited person. She is obviously a girl from a respectable family and was raised by the He family. Even if her husband died, after the mourning period is over, she can remarry. The Ji family may find a good family for her."

"She gave up her job as a proper wife and insisted on opening her legs to seduce someone else's husband. Now she has lost both her money and her man. This is what she deserves."

Weng Xuemei also scoffed, "I don't know what's so good about a guy like He Minzhi that she would be so devoted and infatuated with him."

Xue Chenyu said casually, "Maybe she thinks He Minzhi can bring her wealth and glory?"

Weng Xuemei and Yuzhu both scoffed at this. What kind of wealth and glory could a man like He Minzhi bring to her?

Xue Chenyu smiled and said nothing.

In the evening, she wrote a letter to Dongyue, asking her to tell Mother Li about the current situation of the He family.

The paralyzed Liu and the demoted He Minzhi.

She should be able to get rid of the hatred in her heart.

……

Only two days passed.

He Minzhi was urged to leave Beijing to take up his post.

Even with his arm in a sling, he still walked with a limp.

But this did not delay his departure from Beijing.

He Ruyi specially changed into a bright scarlet dress and went to the city gate to see him off in person.

"Brother, when you leave Beijing this time, don't come back. Lingnan is your final destination. It would be best if you could die on the way. As your younger sister, I will still burn some paper money for you during Qingming Festival and Cold Food Festival."

"He Ruyi, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you cursing me?!" He Minzhi was furious and raised his hand to hit him.

pity.

He Ruyi now has two thugs hired to be by her side. Before He Minzhi's hand could touch her, he was pushed back by the thugs.

With He Minzhi's small stature and injuries all over his body, he couldn't even stand after retreating several steps and fell to the ground.

The sound of "Ouch" was really loud.

There were people coming and going at the city gate, and countless pairs of eyes were looking at him. He Minzhi's face suddenly felt like it was burning.

"He Ruyi, you are so bold! Do you know that I am an official appointed by the imperial court? You are just a commoner, as lowly as an ant. I can crush you to death with just the slightest movement of my fingers!"

He made harsh words, but he had to use his hands and feet to get up.

The stones around him seemed to have just seen him fall, and only after he got up did they pretend to reach out to help him.

He Minzhi was so angry that he brushed him away. "I don't need you. You're useless. I don't know what your eyes are for."

Shi Tou pursed his lips and said nothing, then retreated.

He Minzhi: “…”

"Pfft!" He Ruyi couldn't help laughing out loud.

Other people around also laughed out loud because of He Minzhi's embarrassment.

He Minzhi's face flushed, but as the saying goes, one should not blame the crowd, so he could only turn away in anger.

"Brother, look at yourself. What's there to be angry about?" He Ruyi covered his mouth and chuckled. "I said those things for your own good."

"Think about it, if you can stay peacefully in Lingnan for the rest of your life, you might even have a chance to die of old age. Otherwise, with your incredibly stupid brain, the more you struggle, the faster you'll die."

"After all, we are siblings from the same mother. Because we share the same father and mother, I am kindly advising you - if you want to live a long life, learn to be law-abiding."

"Give up those unrealistic fantasies as soon as possible, and you might be able to live a few more years."

He Ruyi's words were getting more and more outrageous. He Minzhi could no longer tolerate it. "He Ruyi! Can you really not stand me?! What good will it do you to curse me like this?"

He Ruyi chuckled, "I'm happy to see you in trouble, because you owe me this."

"I have a bright future ahead of me, don't regret it later!" He Minzhi gritted his teeth.

He Ruyi almost suspected for a moment that he was planning to say this to Miss Xue, but unfortunately she was too noble and unattainable for him to even meet her in person.

"He Minzhi, don't be the one who regrets it later. If you are willing to listen to my advice, we might meet again one day. If you are determined to die, then I don't mind giving you a ride!"

When He Ruyi said this, murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

He Minzhi didn't care. This sister had been picking up what he had left since she was a child. She was just a money-loser, a thing to pave the way for him. She really thought she could have any say in his life and career.

The brother and sister also met for the last time in their lives at this city gate.

From now on, the bridge is the bridge and the road is the road.

The next time we meet, we will be separated by life and death.

……

In the blink of an eye, it’s the end of the first lunar month.

Xue Chenyu waited and waited before she received a letter from Situ Zhen and Xue Hou reporting that they were safe.

The letter said that everything was going well for them and the situation in the north was much better than they had imagined, so she and the Marquis' wife didn't have to worry.

I don't know.

Xue Chenyu and Mrs. Xue, who were originally just a little worried, became really worried after reading this letter.

"Yu'er, what do you think of this letter from home?" Mrs. Xue looked solemn.

Today she was wearing a bright moon-white, chest-length skirt with a thickened front and snow-blue sleeves trimmed with rabbit fur, which made her look very warm.

But the sadness between her brows made her bright appearance suddenly dim.

"Don't worry, mother." Xue Chenyu chose her words carefully. "We have already used money to pave the way. We will definitely be able to find out the news from the northern border."

"And think about it, any news is good news. If there is no news, it will make people anxious."
