Noble Lady

After seeing Suying off, Yuzhu brought some new hot tea into the house.

"Girl, are you feeling better?"

"You've come just in time. I'll pass on a message later and ask the people on the farm to work harder and entertain Madam Xu well."

Xue Chenyu stood up from the window and closed it casually.

Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.

Since Mother Xu was sent back to the Marquis' Mansion by the young lady, she has been handed over to the lady for disposal.

The lady was not polite to the traitorous Madam Xu and sent her directly to the farm.

During the years in the Marquis' Mansion, Mother Xu was also a well-known mother. There were always people ordering her around, and it could be said that she had never had to do any housework.

After arriving at the farm, life was simply inhuman. There was endless clothes to wash, endless fields to work in, endless vegetables to pick, and endless water to fetch.

The last time she went to see her, she found that Mother Xu was now more than twice as thin as she used to be, and she was so dark that she was almost unrecognizable.

I don’t know if Sun Ping’an can still recognize his mother after seeing her.

"Don't worry, young lady. There are carriages delivering food from the farm every day. I'll go and pass on the message later. I guarantee that after seeing Sun Ping'an, Madam Xu will be as comfortable as a fairy."

Xue Chenyu did not correct Yuzhu's gloating. The behavior of Xu Mama and Sun Ping'an, mother and son, was really disgusting.

As a domestic slave of the Marquis' Mansion, he ate, used and lived in the Marquis' Mansion and enjoyed all the support from the Marquis' Mansion of Wu'an. The Marquis' Mansion even helped Sun Ping'an get rid of his slave status so that his descendants could take the imperial examinations.

But they don't know how to cherish it, they are disloyal and spread rumors and slander.

Those who repay kindness with enmity are worse than pigs and dogs.

She was merciful in not taking any action to wipe out Sun Ping'an's existence.

However, he will have his comeuppance, and it will come soon.

She was not in a hurry.

"Where is Xia He? Is there any news about her?" Xue Chenyu asked again.

After letting the Sixth Prince, two princesses and Princess An Ning meet Cai Jinxue at the Marquis' Mansion that day, Xia He left the capital on her orders.

Haven't returned yet.

Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "It's been several days. According to Xia He's pace, she should be back in a few days."

As he was speaking, he heard the sound of "splashing" water coming from outside the yard.

Xue Chenyu and Yuzhu looked over at the same time.

Then I saw Weng Xuemei jogging to the corridor holding an oil-paper umbrella with a painting of misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

Following behind was a person who was not holding an umbrella but was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat.

He is not tall, but he walks very fast.

"It's Xia He!" Yuzhu's eyes lit up, and then she lifted her skirt and went out to greet her.

Corridor.

She took off the hat with her bare hands, revealing Xia He's pretty face.

"Girl, I'm back."

"Sister Yuzhu."

Yuzhu stepped forward to help take off her straw raincoat, and as she took it to the side, she kept muttering, "You've already returned to Shengjing, and you didn't even ask to change carriages. You're a grown-up girl, how come you're living such a rough life?"

Xia He knew that this was her personality, so when she was criticized, she just scratched her head and didn't refute.

Weng Xuemei also happily dried her shoes on the mat, and then followed Xia He in.

"Miss, Xia He has fulfilled her mission." Xia He knelt in front of Xue Chenyu. Without the straw raincoat and after changing into spring clothes, she looked quite thin.

Xue Chenyu helped her up and asked, "How was it? Did you have a smooth journey?"

"Don't worry, Sister Xue. Xia He had a smooth journey." The speaker was Weng Xuemei, who was in high spirits. If you didn't know her, you would think she was going on a long business trip.

Xue Chenyu said helplessly, "You know this again?"

Weng Xuemei nodded quickly, "I know, I know. Sister Xia He told me that she met my grandfather."

Xia He quickly said, "Yes, young lady, Xia He was ordered to go to Guilai Town and met Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie accepted the herbs, but he said he had to go on a long journey and left."

"As for his whereabouts, Mr. Xie refused to disclose it."

Xue Chenyu turned to look at Weng Xuemei.

"My grandfather is like that. He's calm and reserved, and doesn't like to talk too much with others. But since he accepted the herbs Sister Xue sent him, it means he accepts your gratitude and filial piety."

Xue Chenyu pondered for a moment and then asked, "I've always been curious. Why is your grandfather's surname Xie, but yours is Weng? Is it because you took your mother's surname?"

"No," Weng Xuemei said proudly, "It's my father who took my mother's surname, and it's my grandmother who took the surname Weng."

As she spoke, the little girl said proudly, "Don't look at my grandfather as just an old man now, a lonely and helpless man. He was once famous all over the world. And my grandmother, my grandmother's family was also famous."

Xue Chenyu was panicking: I didn’t think Mr. Xie was an old man. If you only look at his face and ignore his silver hair, who would have thought that he is already a grandfather?

"Meimei, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about Mr. Xie."

"There's no misunderstanding. Grandpa is just an old man who's been hiding in Guilai Town for over a decade, refusing to go anywhere. He only leaves town occasionally to collect herbs..."

"Oh, that's why he accepted me as his junior uncle."

Weng Xuemei spoke to herself.

Mr. Xie, are you a skilled doctor?

The letter from Zhang, the second wife of the He family, that He Shuang sent also said that she had a dream that Prince Cheng's son Situ Zhen would be helped by a doctor named Xie.

She suspected that Zhang was reborn like her, but had no evidence.

etc.……

An idea flashed through Xue Chenyu's mind quickly, but she couldn't grasp it for a moment.

When I wanted to delve deeper into it, I couldn't remember it at all.

She could only let it go for the time being.

"Xia He, you've worked hard on the way here. Although the rain outside is not heavy, you got wet. Go take a hot bath and have a good rest."

Xia He did not move, but slowly raised her head and said, "Miss, Xia He has one more thing to report."

Her unusual expression showed that she had something important to say.

Xue Chenyu glanced at Yuzhu, and Yuzhu led Weng Xuemei out.

After a while.

Only Xue Chenyu and Xia He were left in the room.

"You said."

Xia He pondered for a moment and said slowly, "On my way back home, I received news from the Weiwu Escort Agency that He Minzhi died on the way to Lingnan."

"Killed with one strike, clean and efficient."

Xue Chenyu paused.

A strange thought came to my mind, perhaps the shadow that had lingered in my mind for two lifetimes had disappeared.

Feeling lost? I can't say.

There is only one feeling, of relief.

It seems like it has never been easier.

She always thought that her connection with He Minzhi had disappeared at the moment of their divorce.

I never thought that one day I would hear the news of his death and feel this way.

Xue Chenyu slowly exhaled, "Maybe this is his fate."

He Minzhi was stubborn, arrogant and conceited, and eventually ended up in a dead end.
