Noble Lady

While Miss Xue Er was busy winning over the princesses and the other daughters, Xue Chenyu also received a handwritten letter from Situ Zhen.

at that time.

Fang Rui appeared in the Marquis' Mansion in a disheveled state, with scars all over his body and his hair and face disheveled. He looked like someone who had been hunted down countless times and had only survived by luck.

"Xue, Miss Xue..."

Xue Chenyu was only stunned for a moment at first, then he told Yuzhu, "Go and ask Doctor Xu to come over."

Then he called Mrs. Xue over and asked her to take people to carry Fang Rui to the bed to rest.

However, the person who came was not Doctor Xu, but Doctor Xu's apprentice Cheng Xiyan, who was also a trustworthy person. Xue Chenyu let her go and let her check Fang Rui's injuries.

Fortunately, Fang Rui's injuries only looked serious, but they were basically external injuries and did not damage his internal organs.

He also brought the best medicine with him, and the wounds were treated in a timely manner. Although they were not bandaged very well, they were prevented from worsening, and the situation was not too serious.

After confirming that he was fine, Mrs. Xue and Xue Chenyu both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Fang Rui had just caught his breath when he couldn't wait to shout, "Miss Xue, help me!"

"If you have anything to say, please speak slowly." This was what Madam Xue said. "What's the matter with all these injuries? Your son and my master are both in the northern border. Why did you come back by yourself?"

Fang Rui looked at Xue Chenyu, then at Madam Xue, and nodded slowly, "This is a long story."

"Then speak slowly."

Fang Rui nodded honestly, "No, it has to start from when the prince and Lord Xue left Shengjing..."

He spoke eloquently.

Fang Rui said that as early as when they left the capital, the Crown Prince and Marquis Xue had been wary of General Han Hongyue, the Northern Guardian, so they had laid out several backup plans.

For example, the letter home announcing safety was a test;

But this is just one of the temptations.

All other letters from home that were not to report safety were intercepted before they reached Shengjing.

When the people at Shengjing Post Station didn't receive any other letters from home, they knew something had happened to them while they were heading north.

Afterwards, he sent a letter to Marquis Xue in the tone of Wu'an Marquis Mansion, saying that if there was something going on at home, there was no need to ask, but it was also intercepted by them;

The letter to report safety was then sent.

After Fang Rui finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at Xue Chenyu and Madam Xue: "Do you two understand what I am saying?"

"Just keep talking." Mrs. Xue said coldly.

She was not a fool. The Marquis and his men were going back and forth just to test whether there were several places intercepting their letters along the way.

With this interception method, I'm afraid that all the post stations along the way will be leaking like a sieve.

Fang Rui felt uncomfortable after being looked at by Madam Xue. "... Madam, please don't be upset. The most important part is now."

Mrs. Xue also understood his hint and waved her hand to dismiss the people around her.

Yuzhu and others retreated, only Weng Xuemei was left behind by Xue Chenyu.

Fang Rui then dared to say, "The prince has said that the young lady should take the letter and go north."

Madam Xue and Xue Chenyu both looked at Weng Xuemei, who was not much older than Xue Luoyan.

Before Situ Zhen kept someone by her side, she had thought that Situ Zhen might have other uses, but she didn't expect that he would be used here.

"Can you?" Xue Chenyu asked.

"If Junior Master thinks I can do it, then I can definitely do it." Weng Xuemei said without hesitation.

Madam Xue paused for a moment, then said, "Let Luoluo go with you over there. It'll be nice for you to have company when you go together."

"Mother?" Xue Chenyu took a breath of cold air unexpectedly.

"Why are you panicking?" Madam Xue said nonchalantly, "I'm just letting that girl out to gain some experience, not to die."

Xue Chenyu: "But Luoluo is still..." so young.

"It's because she is young that she won't attract other people's attention." Mrs. Xue interrupted Xue Chenyu.

Fang Rui was a bit confused. Didn't the prince only say that the young lady should go? How come Madam Xue and Miss Xue Da just mentioned Miss Xue Er in a few words?

"Mrs. Xue, what the prince means is..."

"I know what your young master is considering, but there are some things that are principles that cannot be compromised." Mrs. Xue said firmly.

Weng Xuemei is just a little girl over thirteen years old. It is not my job as an adult to let her bear such a heavy responsibility.

But at this last minute, she had no choice but to make this decision.

"Yu'er, go pack some clothes for your sister and go north with Meimei. I'll leave all the family affairs and Datong Trading Company to you."

After hearing these words, several people in the room took a deep breath at the same time.

"Auntie?"

"Mrs. Xue?"

"There are some things that only innocent-looking girls like them can do. Only in this way will no one notice them. But as an elder, I'm worried if I let them go on a long journey alone, so I'm accompanying them."

"No!" Xue Chenyu, Fang Rui and Weng Xuemei said in unison.

Mrs. Xue did not give them a chance to speak.

After saying that, he went out.

Only then did Fang Rui react and stared at Xue Chenyu in a daze: "Ms. Xue, did you know that Madam Xue would make such a decision?"

Xue Chenyu did not deny it.

Fang Rui was secretly shocked, but didn't dare to say anything.

The prince's handwritten letter is in the hands of Miss Xue. The prince has explained everything about the young lady's current behavior after leaving Shengjing in the letter.

Those who did not receive the letter packed their bags and left Shengjing without knowing where to go.

"We'll set off tomorrow morning. If Guard Fang is well again, he'll go find my brother. He'll take care of you."

Xue Chenyu said this and led Weng Xuemei out.

Fang Rui was left with a dilemma.

After Xue Chenyu returned to her room, she packed her bags as quickly as possible and only asked her to take Yuzhu and Qiuhua with her, leaving the other maids behind.

When Xue Luoyan heard that he could go on a long journey, and go north to see his father, he was immediately very happy, and the gun was eager to try.

After Xue Chenyu prepared everything, he ordered his servants to harness the carriage and leave the mansion in the middle of the night.

Leaving home tomorrow morning? That's impossible.

Watching the carriage go away, Madam Xue wiped the tears from her eyes helplessly, "This girl is still so stubborn. She is a girl, but she has to take such a risk."

Madam He beside her gently advised, "Madam, please be at ease. The eldest lady has always been blessed with good fortune, and since Prince Cheng can entrust the matter to Miss Weng, it is certainly not a life-threatening task."

"Madam, if you don't trust others, how can you not trust the eldest daughter's ability? Besides, the Marquis and the eldest and second daughters have all left the capital, so someone should stay behind to take charge of the Marquis's Mansion."

indeed so.

Mrs. Xue was indeed persuaded by Mother He.

"Well, give the order to keep a close eye on the Han family and the Queen's movements. Report any unusual activity immediately."

"Yes."

She has been doing business honestly for so many years, just hoping to get rich and live a well-off life, but some people don't want her to live a good life and try every means to make things difficult for her, so naturally she won't be polite.
