Noble Lady

silence.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone's face looked bad.

"I asked Lord Cai to save my life, but I didn't expect him to be so stubborn..." Xue Chenyu muttered to himself.

for a long time.

Mrs. Xue sighed, "Life and death are unpredictable. In the face of power, a person's reputation is nothing but dust crushed by the rolling torrent."

Everyone was touched.

Whether it is Marquis Xue and Prince Cheng, whose lives are uncertain, or Cai Jinxue who hit his head against the pillar in the palace, who can not be a speck of dust in the torrent of power and desire?

"Uncle Xu, I'm really sorry to bother you with today's matter." Madam Xue said, "There may be many more places where I can use your help. Please don't mind."

"Other people can say these things, but why are you being so polite to me?" Doctor Xu puffed his beard and glared. "Just take a good rest and see how the situation outside develops before making a decision."

"Yes, thank you Uncle Xu."

In order to conceal his tracks, Doctor Xu prescribed many tranquilizing and soothing medicines to Mrs. Xue. When Xue Chenyu sent him out with a serious expression, he kept instructing her to make sure the patient was at ease.

Xue Chenyu also agreed to all of them.

To outsiders, this scene basically meant that Mrs. Xue had suffered a great blow and was seriously ill.

Doctor Xu took Su Ying out, and the guards at the gate asked, "How is the Marquis' wife?"

Hear the words.

Doctor Xu just sighed, got on the carriage and left.

After seeing off Doctor Xu, Xue Chenyu returned to Qingyuan.

Mrs. Xue got out of bed and took two steps, then sat in front of the closed window, looking towards the north through the window.

"Mother, Grandpa Xu is back."

Madam Xue paused and waved gently, "Yu'er, come here."

Xue Chenyu walked forward.

Madam Xue then patted her head and said, "I know you are worried about Luoluo and Xiaohuai. Don't worry."

"After you arrange for them to leave the mansion, I'll send someone to pick them up. Luoluo will reunite with Meimei and then go to Duke Chen's mansion. You don't have to worry about her."

"Xiao Huai is also protected by Mr. Lu, they will be fine."

Xue Chenyu was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to realize that her mother knew everything she had done?

"...I'm sorry for not being considerate enough and causing Mother to worry."

"No, you did very well."

Madam Xue smiled with relief, but then sighed, "In this society where etiquette is cannibalistic, I'm very pleased that you have the courage to resist."

"Fish, you must remember, no matter what time it is, never lose the courage to resist, and never lose faith in your own abilities."

"If you ever reach the end of your rope, remember that you are the one person you can always trust."

Xue Chenyu couldn't help but panic, "Mother, what are you talking about? How come I don't understand?"

In her impression, A Niang is always calm, reserved and steady, as if there is nothing she can't solve.

But at this moment, she saw another feeling in A Niang, something called powerlessness.

"You will understand, you are a smart child." Mrs. Xue looked at her lovingly, as if she was looking at a tomorrow full of hope.

Xue Chenyu was really panicked.

……

At that time, the Mansion of Duke Chen.

Seeing Xue Luoyan sitting at the table eating pastries in big mouthfuls, Du Jingyuan felt relieved.

When she received the news, she was so panicked that she didn't care about anything else. She asked Dujuan to prepare the car and went out.

On the way to pick up Luoluo, she thought of a hundred possibilities, fearing that she would be taken away by someone else before she arrived.

Fortunately, there was no danger.

In Xunwei Building, Luoluo and Weng Xuemei got together, which was considered a strong alliance.

At that time, she brought him back home without hesitation, fearing that if she delayed for a moment, she would let Xue Xiaoyu down.

Unexpectedly.

As soon as she brought her people back to the mansion, someone brought news that the imperial guards had surrounded the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

"Fortunately, Xue Xiaoyu reacted quickly, otherwise the whole family would be trapped and wouldn't be able to do anything...." Du Jingyuan murmured to herself.

"Sister Ayuan, what are you talking about?" Luoluo seemed to have heard her mumbling and suddenly looked up at her.

"No, nothing." Du Jingyuan waved her hands quickly. "Just stay here with me for the next few days. If you need anything, just tell me. Don't worry about anything else for now."

"Okay."

As Xue Luoyan spoke, she exchanged a glance with Weng Xuemei. The two girls seemed heartless, and then they lowered their heads to eat.

Du Jingyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, ordered Du Juan to take good care of them, and slowly walked out of the house.

"I wonder what's going on at the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion?" Du Jingyuan muttered. "Having the Imperial Guards surround the mansion for no reason is not a good idea."

As she was muttering, she suddenly heard an urgent call, "Fifth sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law..."

Follow the sound and look.

It was Chen Lizhu who was hurrying here with her maids Huangli and Cuiliu.

Du Jingyuan immediately went over to him, "Why do you look so hurried? What happened?"

Chen Lizhu looked around and said cautiously, "Let's go inside and talk."

Du Jingyuan nodded and led her into her room.

After closing the door and asking Huangli and Cuiliu to guard the door, Chen Lizhu told her the news that had just come out of the palace.

General Han Hongyue, the General who guards the north, has returned to the capital. In the main hall, he accused Marquis Xue of plotting to murder Prince Cheng's son, Situ Zhen. He was shot to death and fell off a cliff.

The Prince of Cheng also fell off a cliff due to a surprise attack by Marquis Xue. He could not be rescued and his body was no longer found.

Cai Jinxue, the older county magistrate in the northern border who was rescued with great difficulty by Xue Chenyu and was able to enter Beijing after many twists and turns, was also sued by Han Hongyue.

They said that he was greedy for merit, harmed the people and oppressed the common people, and that he deliberately led the Zhenbei Army astray, which led to the Zhenbei Army killing the wrong people.

Cai Jinxue was so overwhelmed that he banged his head against a pillar in the hall. The scene was extremely tragic. It is unknown whether he is dead or alive.

"How ridiculous!" Du Jingyuan jumped up upon hearing this. "He's clearly targeting the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. Everyone has seen the relationship between Marquis Xue and the Crown Prince for so many years. How could he possibly want to murder the Crown Prince?"

"And that County Magistrate Cai? If we hadn't helped him, he might have been killed on the way to the capital. How could he, with his stubborn temper, be so greedy for merit and kill people?"

"General Zhenbei, that's bullshit!"

"And the Imperial Concubine, didn't you say before that Xue Xiaoyu was already on the Imperial Concubine's side? Shouldn't the Imperial Concubine step forward at this time?"

"I know, I know. Don't get excited." Chen Lizhu quickly hugged her.

"I've also met Marquis Xue and Magistrate Cai. I know they wouldn't do anything like that. It's Han Hongyue, on the other hand, who's been acting recklessly, relying on his military power. But we're the only ones who know it's useless."

"The development of the situation has far exceeded our expectations. Han Hongyue is trying to force everyone in the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion to death."

"Now that things have come to this, Auntie can't intervene rashly. Otherwise, it will bring disaster to the Sixth Prince and the Duke's Mansion."

"All we can do is think about whether there is any way to help Sister Xue."

After hearing this, Du Jingyuan finally calmed down a bit and asked in a lower voice, "How do you think we can help her?"

Chen Lizhu looked at her and made sure that she looked calm before letting go of her hand.

"My aunt had someone spread the news from the palace so that we wouldn't be like headless flies. It also made us aware of the seriousness of the matter and told us to think twice before acting."

Du Jingyuan could not refute this point.

She admitted that she was a little emotional just now, but after calming down, she figured out what she needed to think about.

Chen Lizhu said, "Based on the current situation, all the complaints filed in the palace today were made by Han Hongyue, and what he said is completely opposite to the complaint filed by County Magistrate Cai who came to the capital earlier."

"With such an obvious reversal, one of them must have lied."

Du Jingyuan exchanged a glance with her and continued, "But Cai Jinxue hit his head in the palace, so he's dead and there's no evidence to prove his guilt."
