Noble Lady

"Is this girl born with super strength?"

Xue Luoyan subconsciously looked at her sister beside her, "Sister?"

Can I just answer casually what this weird-looking guy said?

"It's okay, Luoluo." Xue Chenyu touched her head, then turned to Mr. Xie and said, "Mr. Xie, this is my younger sister. She's only eleven years old, and she's still a child who knows nothing."

The implication is that if there is any problem, it is better to communicate with her as an "adult".

"You look so weak, you can't even lift anything. It's a waste to keep such a good girl with you. It's better for her to follow me so that she can fully utilize her extraordinary strength."

Xue Chenyu frowned.

He then looked at Xue Luoyan again: "Little girl, what do you think?"

Xue Luoyan thought hard and revealed a very confused expression, "I don't quite understand what you're saying, but do I have to leave my sister and leave home?"

"of course."

"Then I won't go." Before Mr. Xie finished speaking, Luoluo refused without a second thought, "I don't want to leave my sister."

Mr. Xie: “…”

The rejection was too blunt. You should have hesitated a little.

Xue Luoyan hugged her sister's arm tightly, and she was not willing to let go even if she was beaten to death.

"Sister, I absolutely cannot leave you. I cannot leave home. You must promise me that you won't give me away to anyone else."

These words made Mr. Xie's ageless face turn green: it sounded as if he was a bad guy.

"Never mind, becoming a disciple depends on fate. I, an old man, never force anyone to do anything."

As he said this, he stood up and walked over.

"Let's go. Didn't you come all the way here just to look for someone? I'll hand him over to you, and that will be considered mission accomplished."

Xue Chenyu was stunned for a moment.

In fact, Situ Zhen's letter only asked her and Weng Xuemei to come to "Guilai Town" to meet someone, and then they would follow this person's arrangements.

Nothing else was mentioned.

But seeing this, she followed him out.

It's definitely a good idea to adapt to changing circumstances.

The pharmacy doesn't look big, but there is a whole new world in the backyard. As soon as you step in, you'll feel like you've entered a different world.

There are just some ordinary flowers and plants planted there, but it gives people a very unusual feeling.

She looked back and saw that Weng Xuemei and Luoluo did not follow in, so she breathed a sigh of relief and followed Mr. Xie inside.

It was an ordinary house, and Mr. Xie opened the door with a light push.

A middle-aged man who was drinking porridge inside was startled and immediately put down his bowl. He then bowed to Mr. Xie and said, "Hello, sir."

The man was probably about the same age as Marquis Xue, but he had a scholarly air and a scholar's stubbornness in his eyes. He was obviously a scholar.

"Someone who can take you away has come. You can go with this little girl."

The man followed Mr. Xie's gaze and met Xue Chenyu's. Seeing that it was a girl, he quickly avoided her gaze.

"Sir, this girl is very young. If I go with her like this, I'm afraid it will affect her reputation."

Mr. Xie was almost furious. "It's already this late, and you're still so stubborn."

The middle-aged scholar said, "Sir, you are wrong. Scholars have their own ways and their own ways. In this secular world, the eyes of ordinary people are very important, and a girl's reputation is of paramount importance."

"If a dying man like me were to ruin a girl's reputation, it would be a grave sin for me, a humble student."

Mr. Xie was furious with him and turned to look at Xue Chenyu. "See? He's just such a blockhead who won't turn back even if he hits a wall. I can't persuade him anymore. You should think of a way yourself."

Xue Chenyu was a little amused and helpless.

The middle-aged scholar glanced at Xue Chenyu again, then turned away. "I don't know your name, young lady. What do you want to do by visiting me?"

He hadn't said anything yet, but his righteous attitude made Xue Chenyu feel a sense of urgency: if she couldn't explain clearly, he would close the door and refuse to see the guest.

"Your Excellency must be the Magistrate of Daling County, Cai Jinxue, right?"

The middle-aged scholar was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xue Chenyu with wide eyes in surprise, "Young lady, you actually recognized me?"

After saying that, he looked around nervously.

Mr. Xie was also a little nervous because of him, but when he saw Xue Chenyu's calm face, he realized that there was nothing to be nervous about.

"I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you before, but I'll venture a guess. Lord Cai, don't be alarmed. I'm here to discuss the case of General Han Hongyue, the Northern Guardian, who lied about military intelligence and forcibly requisitioned grain from the people."

Xue Chenyu briefly explained the purpose of her visit and then introduced herself.

As soon as Cai Jinxue heard her identity, he wanted to retreat immediately. "I am a poor man with no money and no family. You are a loyal and honest family. You must not be implicated because of me!"

Mr. Xie looked at Xue Chenyu: Now you know why I can’t wait to let you take him away?

Xue Chenyu smiled helplessly: "He is indeed a troublesome person. He is so stubborn and there is no way to change his mind."

"Sir Cai, I have come here at the request of Prince Cheng and Mr. Lu. If you do not wish to see the people of Daning County suffer in vain, please accompany me to the capital and report this matter to the emperor."

Cai Jinxue paused, "You mean, Mr. Lu?"

Xue Chenyu also pushed the door open. "It's Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu is more concerned about your safety than anyone else. Prince Cheng and my father have also fled to the northern border because of Han Hongyue. Their lives are currently uncertain. I would like to ask Mr. Cai for help."

"What did you say?"

Cai Jinxue is a stubborn scholar.

He knew he had offended a powerful figure, and that he was lucky to have survived several near-death experiences and was no longer willing to implicate anyone else.

But when he heard that he had implicated more people, he could no longer sit still.

"Lord Cai, Prince Cheng and my father, Marquis Wu'an, were ordered by the king to rush to the northern border to provide disaster relief. But my father is a man of integrity. He knows what Han Hongyue has done and will never stand idly by."

"By then, I'm afraid that everyone in Wu'an Marquis's Mansion will be in danger of being taken over by the thieves. Lord Cai, please spare Wu'an Marquis' Mansion for the sake of the people of Daling and my father's many years of guarding the border."

After hearing this, Cai Jinxue felt like an ice lump had melted away.

After all, he is just a straightforward person who would rather break than bend, but he is not really cold-blooded.

After thinking for a moment, Cai Jinxue made up his mind, "Miss, what do you want me to do? Please tell me clearly."

"Return to the capital and report to His Majesty in person."

Cai Jinxue glanced at Mr. Xie, then at Xue Chenyu: "Okay, I'll go with you this time!"

"Then I would like to thank Master Cai first."

Xue Chenyu knelt down and bowed, frightening Cai Jinxue so much that he quickly waved his hands, "Miss Xue, there's no need to be so. Marquis Xue has always been a respected hero. I'm ashamed to receive such a gesture from you."
