Noble Lady

Su Ying shook her head and said, "I don't know. Jingzhao Prefecture has already posted a notice saying that the trial will be held and that all citizens can go and watch the trial."

The trial will be held in court even though the murder weapon has not been found, and it will be a public trial.

Something seemed to be wrong, but Xue Chenyu couldn't figure out what the problem was.

"What about the stone? Where is he now?" she asked.

"She's at the He residence, helping with some chores in the house. Now, only Aunt Zhao, the half-master, is normal in the house. Old Madam He has long been crazy." Suying said.

"When the He family's old house was mortgaged to the young lady, Aunt Zhao dismissed most of the servants, leaving only Madam Huang to look after the old lady, along with her two maids, a cook, and an old servant."

Xue Chenyu nodded. The yard was a little small now and couldn't accommodate so many people.

A cook and an old servant are both necessary, and it is also necessary for Mama Huang to take care of Liu.

As for Liu Chunhua and the other two maids, they can also take care of Xiaocao, after all, she is pregnant.

"Shitou can drive and is quite strong. Xiaocao's baby is getting older. If he returns to Beijing, he can really help her a lot."

Su Ying hesitated for a moment and said, "Speaking of this, when something happened in the Marquis' Mansion before, Aunt Zhao was so anxious that she even bled. Fortunately, nothing happened in the end."

Xue Chenyu frowned when she heard this. "Have you asked a doctor to check on her? Is there any impact on her health? How is the baby?"

Although the He family fell, He Minzhi was still an official before.

Now that He Minzhi is dead, Xiaocao doesn't want to marry again, so she needs a child to support her, and that child can't have any accidents.

Suying hurriedly said that she had seen a doctor. The doctor said that it was because she was too anxious. She took some pregnancy-maintaining medicine and rested for two days and she would be fine.

He also repeatedly assured Xiaocao that he would never let anything happen to the child because of this.

But Xue Chenyu still asked Yuzhu to prepare some supplements for Xiaocao's body, and asked her to arrange someone to deliver them to Xiaocao later.

"Don't worry, young lady. I will make sure everything is done properly and nothing will happen to Aunt Zhao's child."

Xue Chenyu said "hmm".

Suying also reported the matter of Sun Ping'an and his mother.

"Sun Ping'an is still imprisoned in Jingzhao Prefecture's prison, but Madam Fan Wenxuan has already found Mother Xu."

"I just followed the young lady's instructions and told Madam Xu some news about Sun Ping'an. Then she hurried away from the farm."

Xue Chenyu couldn't help but sneer when she thought that she had treated them well, but they were always plotting against her and her son.

"What kind of person is Madam Fan?"

"She is a smart person. She accepted the letter that the young lady asked me to deliver to her, as well as the words I said to her later when we met, very well."

Mother Xu was anxious to see her son, and finally Fan Wenxuan stepped forward, went to the farm to pick up Mother Xu, and took her to see Sun Ping'an.

Of course, it was Xue Chenyu's idea that Fan Wenxuan could take Xu's mother out of the village.

It was Xue Chenyu who instructed Su Ying to give Fan Wenxuan advice. Later, Su Ying followed Xue Chenyu's instructions and helped her get Xu's mother out.

Sun Ping'an cried and begged Xu's mother to save him. Xu's mother didn't want her son to suffer, so she agreed immediately.

Then she made up her mind to sell the yard and rescue Sun Ping'an, and is now looking for a buyer.

However, she was in a hurry to sell it and wanted a high price, so it was naturally difficult to find a buyer.

Fortunately, she could only leave the farm for two days, and had to entrust the matter of selling the yard to Fan Wenxuan. Now that the buyer had been negotiated, she only had to wait for Mother Xu to sign and seal so that she could use the money to save her son.

Xue Chenyu smiled when she heard this, "That Madam Fan is truly a smart person."

A smart person like Mrs. Xu would not entrust the matter of selling the yard to Fan Wenxuan for no reason.

In front of her, Fan Wenxuan must have played the role of a virtuous daughter-in-law and a virtuous wife who was eager to rescue her husband.

In order to achieve one's own goals, it is understandable to use some small tricks appropriately, which neither harms others nor causes harm for money.

Compared to people like Sun Ping'an who harm others without benefiting themselves, she is simply a bodhisattva in the world.

"Keep an eye on them and don't let Sun Ping'an get too comfortable."

Su Ying said, "Don't worry, young lady. He's a man who cheats young ladies out of their money and lives off them. He's very hated. And the father of one of the girls he cheated was an official in Jingzhao Prefecture."

"Those jailers serve him three meals a day, nine meals a day. They guarantee that Sun Ping'an will suffer in dire straits in the Jingzhao prison, with no one to turn to for help."

This is the second best news I've heard recently.

First of all, my father and Prince Cheng are fine.

"Have someone keep an eye on the Han family. If my father and the prince return alive, the Han family won't let us off."

Suying nodded and said that she had already arranged the personnel according to her wishes.

After that, Suying replied with some more things before leaving.

……

afternoon.

Du Jingyuan and Chen Lizhu came over.

According to usual etiquette, they need to hand in a visiting card first, but today they came directly to the door.

Xue Chenyu had just woken up when she heard the servant's report. She was stunned for a moment with sleepy eyes, and while asking them to come in, she quickly got up and washed up.

Yuzhu also quickly asked someone to prepare tea and snacks.

"Xue Xiaoyu, you just woke up?" Du Jingyuan sat down carelessly, looking at Xue Chenyu who came out from behind the curtain, with a smile in her eyes.

Without waiting for Xue Chenyu to speak, Chen Lizhu continued, "Looking at Sister Xue like this, she must have just woken up."

"What are you two doing?" Xue Chenyu said with a smile, "I haven't even come to thank you in person for taking Luoluo in, and you two are here on your own. What? Are you here to ask for a gift?"

After these words were spoken, Du Jingyuan and Chen Lizhu looked at each other in surprise.

It was just because Du Jingyuan didn't tell her about this, and Chen Lizhu didn't say that she knew about it.

Isn't this embarrassing?

"Why didn't Miss Chen San tell A Yuan?" Xue Chenyu asked with a smile.

Du Jingyuan immediately realized what was going on. "...Xue Xiaoyu, I risked my life to keep your sister here, and you actually laughed at me. Do you have any conscience?"

"Yes, yes, how can I be so heartless? I have prepared the thank-you gifts for you." Xue Chenyu said with a smile, and asked Yuzhu to bring up a box.

It was a box slightly bigger than a palm, small but quite delicate.

Xue Chenyu pushed the door in front of Du Jingyuan and said, "Open it and see for yourself. Are you satisfied?"

"What is this?" Du Jingyuan was skeptical, but she did not forget to glance at Chen Lizhu, as if asking for her opinion.

Chen Lizhu didn't know either and could only give her an innocent look.
