Noble Lady

"Sister-in-law, I know Minzhi needs some money to manage his affairs now that he's an editor at the Hanlin Academy. We all understand. But we can't let everyone starve just because of him, right?"

Zhang picked up and put down her chopsticks again and again, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

A few days ago, Zhang was able to comfort He Shuang and the others, and they could just bear it and it would pass;

She really couldn't stand today's mess.

"What do you mean, second sister-in-law?" Liu felt guilty, but still put on the airs of an old lady.

Zhang was used to her pretentious behavior and was fed up with it. "Sister-in-law, let's be frank."

"Although my husband isn't a high-ranking official, he still pays the government a monthly allowance. And my second and third sons don't eat for free either. You can't make us eat this pig food, no matter what!"

The two words "pig food" were like nails, firmly pinning Liu to the pillar of shame.

"Second sister-in-law, you are so presumptuous! What do you mean by saying that Minzhi is now an editor in the Hanlin Academy and needs some money to bribe people? What are you saying about my son? He entered the Hanlin Academy based on his own real talent and knowledge!"

Zhang couldn't help but sneer, "Yes, He Minzhi entered the Hanlin Academy based on his real talent and knowledge, while others didn't. Are you satisfied with this?"

"Zhang, don't go too far! What do you mean by that? Explain it to me clearly!"

"Aren't my words clear enough? How much clearer can they be?" Zhang finally stood up in front of Liu.

"We have all paid the public money, and you secretly eat bird's nests and other supplements, but let us eat pig food. What are you afraid of? Is it possible that your son can't afford to support you and wants us to support you?"

"Zhang! Say what you just said again."

Liu smashed the bowl with a bang, her face as black as the bottom of a pot.

"I'll say it again, I respectfully call you sister-in-law for the sake of my late brother, but you treat us like fools!"

Zhang was also very angry and overturned the table.

The two daughters-in-law quickly pulled He Shuang back.

The pot of vegetable porridge that looked like pig food just splashed all over the floor.

Zhang didn't even look at him and said, "Let's go!"

Then he left with the people from the second house.

Ji Minrou was stunned.

The old lady from the second room was so bold that she even dared to overturn the table.

Because I was too surprised, I forgot to care about Liu first.

At this time, Liu was also shocked by Zhang's sudden anger. After seeing the mess on the ground, she remembered to be angry, and her heart was beating violently.

"She, how dare she?"

Ji Minrou pinched his shoulders again to comfort him and told him not to be angry.

But Liu didn't buy it this time. She slapped her hand away and called out to Huang Mama, "Use the family rules! I'm going to teach Zhang a lesson!"

Mother Huang didn't dare to say a word.

What can we do about this mess?

Mrs. Liu walked out in a panic, her face flushed and pale, and Mrs. Huang quickly followed her.

Ji Minrou fell behind, and after Liu left, she showed a triumphant look on her face.

"Now that things have gotten this bad, I want to see how Xue Chenyu will end this."

……

What they didn’t know was that Xue Chenyu had seen all the farce in the He family.

In the morning, she used the excuse of going out and got on a carriage. In fact, the carriage only went out for a circle and she got off and came back through the side door.

Then he took a short nap in the attic of Mingyu Pavilion, and when he woke up he just caught the scene where Yuzhu teased Huang's mother.

Then, we saw a series of bold moves by the Liu family.

Mingyu Pavilion was already on a high place and was adjacent to the He family's original courtyard. Xue Chenyu could see everything from up there.

After all the action today, she had only one comment: "How wonderful!"

after awhile.

Yuzhu came up and said, "The fourth lady has moved in."

"Just ask her to turn things around and come straight up."

In fact, He Jixiang expressed her intention to move in two days ago, but Xue Chenyu asked her to wait.

I chose today as a good time.

Today, the behavior of Mrs. Zhang, the old lady from the second house, has completely broken off relations with the first house.

At this time, they were constantly in conflict and unable to take care of themselves, so Liu naturally had no time to care about He Jixiang, a concubine's daughter with a very weak presence.

"Miss Xue, thank you."

He Jixiang came up and bowed deeply to Xue Chenyu.

Xue Chenyu asked Qiuhua to help her up, "You don't have to thank me, it was just a small favor."

"Miss Xue's simple help is a great favor to me."

He Jixiang no longer pretends. She combs her dull and heavy bangs up and no longer holds them against her head timidly. She looks like a completely different person.

Compared to He Ruyi's spirit, which was barely lifted up by clothes, she had a kind of confidence that came from the heart.

Xue Chenyu liked her very much, as if she could see her and Captain Chen working together as equals.

"If you don't mind my meddling, Miss Four, I'd like to help you find a marriage."

He Jixiang was stunned.

Xue Chenyu was afraid she might overthink things, so she explained, "That man was my father's old subordinate, a minor official to some extent. He wasn't well-educated, and he was a rather large and strong man. But he was a very good person, with good character."

"Although you are a concubine's daughter, you are from a noble family after all. If you were asked to marry a warrior who barely knows how to type, would you feel wronged?"

"Miss Xue is willing to save me from danger. He Jixiang is extremely grateful! My marriage is entirely up to Miss Xue!"

He Jixiang didn't even ask a single question, but knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to her.

Xue Chenyu quickly signaled Qiuhua to help the man up.

"If you have no problems here, I will help you arrange it. Don't worry, I will never let you get married blindly."

He Jixiang: "I believe Miss Xue will not harm me."

Her trust made Xue Chenyu feel warm in his heart.

But she could also understand why He Jixiang did this.

She was a concubine's daughter, and given Liu's personality, it was impossible for her to arrange He Jixiang's wedding seriously.

However, let alone her illegitimate daughter, she doesn't even care about her biological daughter He Ruyi. The only person she cares about is her precious son.

So they would probably just marry her off to someone random.

She prided herself on being a clean person and would not allow this little illegitimate daughter to be a concubine, but she would definitely not be from a good family and it would be a blessing not to give her a servant.

The marriage that Xue Chenyu wanted to arrange for her was with an old subordinate of Marquis Wu'an, and no matter how small the official position was, it was still an official.

Even though it was what the literati looked down upon the most, for He Jixiang, being a military officer was also an excellent way to leave the He family's den of danger.

So she was truly grateful.

Xue Chenyu thought to herself that in the previous life, He Jixiang was a substitute bride, and they both lived well. If they could get married legitimately in this life, it would be considered as a pair of lovers being together.

She is still very happy to see others find couples and live happily.

Oh, except for He Minzhi, He Jiminrou and the like.
