Noble Lady

"I'll do whatever you say, sister-in-law. But this is my first time as a housekeeper, so if I don't do well, please forgive me!"

Zhang was so angry that she wanted to tear Liu apart, but she could only swallow her anger for the time being.

Liu was very satisfied with her compromise and didn't care about her gnashing of teeth.

"If there's anything you don't understand, please feel free to ask me." He paused, "If you can ask Yu'er and she can help you, that's fine too."

Zhang snorted coldly: I'm not stupid.

The Madam had finally gotten rid of this mess, so how could she possibly bother the Madam with these trivial matters again?

That would not only cause more trouble for the lady, but would also fulfill Liu's wish.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. If there's anything I don't understand, I'll definitely ask you in detail."

The lady asked her to come over tomorrow morning, so it seems it's time to go and learn from the lady.

As for the account books and other things, there is still time to get them tomorrow.

Zhang thought so, said so, and then left.

Knowing that the housekeeper is bound to be a mess, I might as well get a good night's sleep tonight.

Liu didn't stop him.

Because she was confident that the future of the two sons of the second wife depended on her son.

Zhang will never be able to escape from her control.

……

The noise from Ciwenyuan soon reached Xue Chenyu's ears.

She was not surprised at all that Liu left the mess to Zhang.

"Do you know whose carriage it was that took He Minzhi home today?"

Yuzhu said, "It's the carriage from Lord Yu's house, and inside is Lord Yu's fourth son, Yu Zhijian."

After saying this, she was also surprised, "I don't know how this Lord He got involved with the young master of Lord Yu's family."

The current head of the government, Yu Jingqian, is the old man? But in my previous life, I have never heard of any connection between He Minzhi and the Yu family.

Could it be that the changes were caused by a series of actions she took after her rebirth?

However, the reputation of the fourth son of the Yu family has always been bad. Now that He Minzhi is together with him, she is not worried that he will do something that will harm others and benefit herself.

"Keep a close eye on He Minzhi and the fourth young master of the Yu family, and find out what's going on."

Yuzhu replied yes, then lowered her voice and said, "Second Miss He quietly returned home."

"Didn't she sneak out without Liu's knowledge in the afternoon and just come back?"

Yuzhu nodded and said with an embarrassed look: "This is not the first time that Miss He has done this. I heard Chunhua and Qiuyue secretly discussing it. Miss He has changed her clothes and gone out several times."

"It's just that I didn't dare to be too presumptuous before. Now that I'm ostensibly under house arrest by the Liu family, I can go out and meet someone so blatantly."

"Pah, pah, pah, you're just a little girl, don't say such dirty words. If someone hears you, it will be bad for your reputation."

Xue Chenyu interrupted her, "Just have someone keep an eye on her and see where she goes without telling anyone."

Yuzhu scratched her head embarrassedly, but still agreed.

She doesn't feel ashamed. No one who does it feels ashamed. She was just talking. What's the big deal?

Moreover, she had no plans to get married. She just wanted to stay with the girl for the rest of her life, so she didn't worry about her reputation.

That night.

As usual, Ji Minrou brought tea and snacks to He Minzhi's study, but this time He Minzhi didn't keep her. He just coaxed her with a few words and let her go.

I don’t know if it was because she was so excited about hooking up with the young master of Lord Yu’s family, or if it was for something else.

Ji Minrou stood at the door of the study, the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn to pieces.

Just to stay, she had always been considerate, generous and understanding. If she made a fuss now, it would seem that she was too ignorant.

"Men are all the same. They want to throw away what they've eaten." She stared at the study door sinisterly. "Cousin, I've given my body to you."

She had put in so much effort to stay in the He family, how could she let He Minzhi get rid of her so easily?

Wait, this is just the beginning.

She must hold the He family firmly in her hands.

In the study at this time.

He Minzhi coaxed Ji Minrou out in a gentle manner, but he felt more and more annoyed.

So many things happened in the mansion today, and he wanted to go find Xue Chenyu to negotiate.

But I don't know why, but I felt inexplicably uneasy.

"Stone."

Shitou came over happily, "What do you want, sir?"

"Do you think that the Madam has gone too far with the commotion in the mansion today?"

Shi Tou observed his expression. Normally, he would get angry when talking about his wife, but he didn't look angry today.

So, Shitou said tactfully, "Logically speaking, since you've taken back the housekeeping authority from Madam, it's normal for Madam to not be involved in the affairs of the mansion. But you, sir, are Madam's husband. After all, you are the head of the family. How could a wife disobey her husband like this?"

Seeing that He Minzhi was about to get angry, he immediately said, "Madam must have done this on purpose because she was upset with you about you taking back the housekeeper's power."

He spoke incoherently and would have been scolded by He Minzhi under normal circumstances.

But He Minzhi's head was like a mess, and he was desperately trying to find a reason for himself.

Then I heard Shitou say, "The lady is probably... having a quarrel with you."

A sudden enlightenment.

That's right, she was definitely being upset. She was angry because she was being ignored, so she deliberately caused so much trouble to get his attention.

Just say that Xue Chenyu was being stubborn because she was afraid that he would ignore her.

If that's the case, then satisfy her.

He Minzhi stood up and walked out excitedly without even changing his official robe.

"Sir, where are you going?" Shitou also hurriedly followed.

Go a long way.

He Minzhi stopped again.

Shi Tou then realized that this was the direction to Furongju.

Shitou was surprised, "Sir, you are going to see the lady, why don't you leave?"

"I can't go." He Minzhi said to himself, "If I go now, it will be like admitting defeat."

After saying that, he turned around and walked back.

You should make Xue Chenyu more nervous, and don't try to control him in this way every time something goes wrong.

He could go again tomorrow and let her know that he acknowledged her as his wife, but he had to stop at the right time to prevent her from becoming arrogant due to his favor.

He Minzhi had already thought of what to say when he met Xue Chenyu tomorrow, and his mood immediately improved a lot. He went back and drank the white fungus and lotus seed soup that Ji Minrou brought him.

He really didn't like sweets, but his cousin Rouer also said that everything else in the house had been eaten, and only dry goods like white fungus were left, so he had to make do with it.

Xue Chenyu knew that he didn't like sweets, so she deliberately ordered it for him.

"Everyone knows my little thoughts." Anyway, I have to meet her tomorrow, so I will just indulge her this time.

He Minzhi spoke to himself in a self-righteous manner and gulped down the sweet and sticky Tremella soup.
