Noble Lady

Cai Jinxue was still picked up by Wang Gonggong, the eunuch serving the emperor in the palace, but this time he did not agree to let Xue Chenyu go with him.

Mrs. Xue could only arrange for the servant who had always taken care of him to go with him to take care of him.

Eunuch Wang did not refuse this.

After seeing Cai Jinxue off, and watching the Imperial Guards escort the carriage away, Madam Xue suddenly pressed her chest, "Why do I feel so anxious for no reason?"

"Mother is just too worried about father. It was Eunuch Wang who came to bring Lord Cai into the palace. There will definitely be no problem. There will also be good news from father." Xue Huai comforted.

Xue Luoyan also echoed.

Xue Chenyu smiled and helped Madam Xue back. "Mother, His Majesty is so wise and powerful. He must have had his own considerations for not letting my daughter enter the palace with him this time."

"The journey to the north is quite long. Even if there is news, it will take more than an hour or two to arrive. We might as well wait patiently for the news."

Mrs. Xue looked at her daughter's bright eyes and nodded slowly.

Just then, Su Ying came to ask for a meeting, so Xue Chenyu sent Madam Xue back to Qingyuan first, and then returned to Furongju.

"Miss, the people from the Weiwu Escort Agency who are keeping an eye on Shi Tou told me that Shi Tou will be bringing He Minzhi's body to Beijing by the afternoon at the latest." Su Ying said.

Xue Chenyu pondered for a moment, "Please inform Aunt Zhao so that she can be mentally prepared. She is pregnant now, don't let the bad luck affect the child."

Su Ying replied, "Don't worry, young lady. Aunt Zhao received your instructions last time and has already made preparations for the funeral. Even if He Minzhi is sent back to the capital, she doesn't have to go to see him in person. There are plenty of people who can identify the body."

"Well." Xue Chenyu asked again, "What about reporting the case?"

Su Ying said, "Aunt Zhao had taken Shi Tou's letter to Jingzhao Prefecture to report the case, but they said they only had the letter and no body, so they couldn't take the case."

"But according to my guess, even if He Minzhi's body was sent to Jingzhao Prefecture, they would still evade the case by saying that he didn't die in Shengjing."

Xue Chenyu smiled when she heard that.

Suying couldn't help but wonder, "What are you laughing at, girl?"

"You don't have to worry about retreating. As long as Shitou brings He Minzhi's body to Jingzhao Prefecture to file a complaint, the Jingzhao Prefecture will definitely accept the case."

She looked so confident that Suying was embarrassed to ask her why she was so sure.

The smart servant knew how to change the subject.

Afterwards, Suying talked about He Ruyi's recent situation.

"Miss, you don't know that since He Minzhi was demoted, He Ruyi has been living a very prosperous life in the Cui residence."

Xue Chenyu waved to Yuzhu to bring up some snacks and listened to Suying with great interest.

Of course, Yuzhu, He Xiahe and the others were also listening with great interest.

Even Qiuhua and Yumei, who were not on duty today, and Weng Xuemei, who was a guest at the Marquis's residence, came eagerly to listen to the gossip.

Su Ying said that after He Ruyi defeated He Minzhi, Cui Hua suddenly came to his senses and began to be wary of He Ruyi.

She had previously allowed her servants to deduct her food, clothing, and other expenses, but now she didn't dare to go too far and paid him back everything.

He Ruyi did not have any resentment. She accepted everything he gave her without even doing anything extreme. She just ate and drank well every day to keep herself healthy.

Her personality was completely different from before. She was quiet and steady, and even took the initiative to give the dowry list to Yushu.

Just when everyone thought that He Ruyi had gotten over this hurdle in her heart, there was a commotion at Cui's house.

First, it was revealed that Qiuyue had used the same old trick again and was going to give Cui Hua that aphrodisiac, but was caught on the spot by Yushu, and was caught red-handed.

Cui Hua was so angry that he wanted to sell her out.

Then Qiuyue tried to commit suicide by hitting her head against a pillar, hoping to prove her innocence by death. Fortunately, that day happened to be the day when the doctor came to the house to take He Ruyi's pulse and regulate his body, and Qiuyue's life was saved.

After she woke up, she burst into tears and said that the so-called drugging was not what she wanted to do at all.

Someone was constantly reminding her and instigating her.

Thus, the "pure and innocent" Yu Shu was exposed - it was she who instigated Qiu Yue behind the scenes to give Cui Hua that kind of medicine for the sake of fame and fortune, and then she would reap the benefits.

In this way, not only can Qiuyue lose Cui Hua's heart, but she can also leave a good impression in Cui Hua's heart as an "innocent victim", and then take the opportunity to get promoted.

Cui Hua was furious and wanted to kick Yu Shu out of the house, but Yu Shu was pregnant for more than three months, so it was impossible to kick her out.

He Ruyi suggested: "No matter what she did wrong, she is now pregnant with her husband's child. No matter what, we must wait until she gives birth to the child."

Cui Hua had never seen her so magnanimous before, and he immediately accepted her suggestion.

Put Yu Shu under house arrest and wait until she gives birth to the child.

But before this, Yu Shu was in charge of all the affairs of the Cui family, and she also had to prepare He Ruyi's dowry.

With her under house arrest, all the affairs inside and outside the house, as well as the dowry, fell back into He Ruyi's hands.

Yu Shu naturally denied it and kept saying that he was innocent.

But Qiuyue could do something even more ruthless than her.

After Qiuhua was rescued, she discovered that she was nearly a month pregnant.

But she was determined to die, and had no interest in living even if she was rescued. She also said that she would rather cut her hair and become a nun than stay in this house anymore.

I also ask Cui Hua to write a letter to release my concubine and set her free.

Compared with her stubbornness, Yu Shu's cry of injustice seemed particularly pale and powerless.

But men are most susceptible to this kind of talk. The more he talked about cutting off his hair and becoming a nun, the more Cui Hua refused. She even found the best doctor to treat her injuries.

So, He Ruyi volunteered to take care of Qiuyue, and Cui Hua agreed.

From then on, the status of the three women in Cui's house changed.

Speaking of this, all the girls present were filled with sorrow.

"Yu Shu seems harmless, but unexpectedly he is also a scheming person."

"In the past, He Ruyi was also taken care of by our young lady. When our young lady married into the Marquis's Mansion, she was skinny and withered, but she was taken care of by our young lady and she became a lively and beautiful girl..."

"Yet, when interests diverged, she sided with the He family. She had carefully chosen a husband, but unexpectedly, he wasn't such a good man."

Yuzhu was filled with emotion.

Qiu Hua also said, "I remember we said back then that the young lady would definitely find a good husband for her in the future. It was just a short time ago, how could we have known that so many unexpected events would happen?"

Suying, Xiahe and Yumei, who were not serving Xue Chenyu at that time, could only nod their heads.

Weng Xuemei also nodded, and said in a condescending manner, "She is just too greedy. If she hadn't betrayed you and listened to your advice, she would have lived a good life."

"You are so smart." Xue Chenyu tapped her nose helplessly.

Xia He said, "If you ask me, whether it's He Ruyi or Yu Shu Qiuyue, these three are not easy to deal with."

Everyone knows this.

Yu Shu plotted against Qiu Yue and mistreat He Ruyi when she was sick, just to get revenge for Tan's harsh treatment of her in the past.

But who knew that things would change and one day he would suffer.

Qiuyue is the same. She claims to be smart, but she often becomes a knife in the hands of others. To be honest, she is the dumbest one.

"But this Cui Hua is also funny. He allowed others to abuse He Ruyi before, holding the Jade Book in his arms, but now he abandons her at the slightest sign of trouble..."

Weng Xuemei snorted coldly, "He loves this today, and that tomorrow. He changes so quickly."
