Noble Lady

"Girl, girl..."

Xue Chenyu came back to her senses when Yuzhu called her, but two red clouds unconsciously appeared on her cheeks.

Yuzhu was about to say, "Miss, why are you blushing?"

Xue Chenyu feigned a cough and said, "Nothing. What did you say just now?"

"The discussions outside are getting more and more intense. Some people have already dragged the young master and the second young lady into this, and even Mr. Lu into this. Suying asks you, are you ready to take action?"

Xue Chenyu paused while holding the teacup, "Is Mr. Lu involved?"

"Yes, it was said that some Confucian scholars were discussing in the teahouse, saying that Mr. Lu was a scholar after all, yet he was willing to condescend to become a teacher at the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, and who knows how much he received from the mansion."

Yuzhu's words were still tactful. What those people originally said was that the Wu'an Marquis Mansion must have used shameful means to win over Lu Shuwen. It was a famous scholar named Lu, and he should not be obsessed with lust and lose his integrity in his old age.

Then there were some obscene words that were too disgusting to read.

"How bold they are!" Xue Chenyu sneered, "Tell Su Ying to hold off and let them make a fuss. You don't have to get involved. Just keep an eye on those who spread the news."

"Yes." Yuzhu was startled by the coldness of her expression and said quickly, "I will pass the message to Suying right away."

Good words can't persuade a damn ghost.

If it was only directed at her, or at the Marquis' Mansion, then the Marquis' Mansion would be overwhelmed by the endless discussions.

But now Mr. Lu is involved.

You know, Mr. Lu has students all over the world, and now he has one more student who is a prince.

If someone insists on seeking their own death, she won't have to do it herself.

Xue Chenyu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, called Yuzhu and Xia He, and walked towards the private school with the soups and drinks that had been prepared long ago.

When she arrived, it was break time.

Xue Huai saw her coming and quickly stood up to greet her, "Sister, why are you here?"

The always arrogant Sixth Prince also nodded slightly, "Miss Xue."

"Greetings, Sixth Prince." Xue Chenyu returned the greeting. "Xiao Huai, where is Mr. Lu?"

"He was here just now. Madam Qi came over and called the gentleman away." Xue Huai asked, confused. "Sister, is there something you want to talk to the gentleman about?"

"Yes, there are some things. It's just that..." As she spoke, she saw Mr. Lu walking towards them accompanied by Mrs. Qi, and changed the subject, "Mr. Lu should know."

Mr. Lu even walked up to Xue Chenyu, his face slightly gloomy, "Yu girl, do you know all the rumors out there?"

"I just found out and was about to tell my husband about it, but I didn't expect my wife to be one step ahead of me." Xue Chenyu said softly, kneeling in greeting.

"This is simply unreasonable!"

Mr. Lu probably thought that she had also heard those dirty words, and he immediately felt embarrassed.

"Don't be angry with Yu Yatou, it's not her fault." Mrs. Qi slapped his arm angrily.

"I'm not being nice to her..." Mr. Lu said, turning his face away uncomfortably.

Xue Chenyu said softly, "I know, Madam, please don't be upset."

Mrs. Qi suddenly felt sorry for her again.

The Sixth Prince asked, "What happened?"

"Yes, sister, what happened? Why did you make the master so angry?" Xue Huai chose his words carefully and asked cautiously.

It is true that Mr. Lu has a good temper. He is very kind even to his students. Even when he scolds them for not making progress, he never shows his anger.

Looking at his expression, you can tell that he is very angry.

Xue Chenyu glanced at Madam Qi and only after getting her approval did she tell them the slanderous words about Mr. Lu that were circulating outside.

"This is simply unreasonable!"

The Sixth Prince was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was furious.

He had just received the approval of Mr. Lu two days ago, and had also spoken to His Majesty, and officially started studying at the Marquis's private school.

Why? As soon as he came to study, those people started to insult Mr. Lu.

Doesn't this mean that he worked so hard to gain the approval of a person with corrupt teaching ethics? This even trampled on the dignity of a prince!

"Who is so audacious? Are you targeting me?! Let me know who's behind this, and I'll skin them alive!"

"Sixth Prince, calm down." Xue Huai advised, "Perhaps it's not directed at you?"

"Xiao Huai is right," Xue Chenyu said with a wry smile, "My daughter's divorce is now a hot topic in the city. I think my husband and the Sixth Prince have been implicated by me."

"No matter what, those fools have implicated Mr. Lu and me. I will make them pay for it!"

The Sixth Prince was angry at the moment and could not listen to these words.

The royal family values ​​their reputation the most, and the Sixth Prince admires Mr. Lu from the bottom of his heart. Such a commotion outside has made him and the royal family lose face.

To put it more seriously, His Majesty has recognized him as Mr. Lu's student. If he is scolded like this outside, doesn't it mean that His Majesty is also blind?

Tolerable or unbearable.

After this incident, the Sixth Prince was so angry that he couldn't concentrate on reading. He asked for leave from Mr. Lu and returned to the palace in a rage.

In fact, Mr. Lu was no longer in the mood to attend class, so he simply assigned a policy essay and then went back to the courtyard with Mrs. Qi.

"Sister, you're using the Sixth Prince to deal with the person who spread the rumors. Aren't you afraid that he'll come to his senses and get angry with you?"

After everyone else had left, Xue Huai asked in a low voice.

Xue Chenyu: "The Sixth Prince is not a fool. He just can't figure out how to use the opponent's strength to his advantage. He still has Concubine Chen to check on him when he returns to the palace."

Xue Huai: Sister, it doesn't sound like you are praising the Sixth Prince.

And it wasn't about using someone else's strength to fight against him, it was clearly about letting the Sixth Prince lead the charge.

Xue Chenyu added, "This involves Mr. Lu's reputation and the Sixth Prince's future. Even if I hadn't proposed this, Concubine Chen and the Sixth Prince would have been irreconcilable with the person who spread the rumor."

After a pause, she smiled again and said, "Now that I bring it up, the Imperial Concubine might even thank me."

Concubine Chen has long wanted to eliminate the prince and the queen. This is a great opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and she will make good use of it.

Xue Huai rolled his eyes and silently agreed with Xue Chenyu's statement.

"Sister A is right."

Xue Chenyu smiled, told him to write the policy paper well and left.

Things were going so smoothly that she didn't even need to do anything. According to Xue Chenyu's intuition, it should have been Situ Zhen who did it.

He had vowed so confidently last night that he wouldn't do something, but she didn't believe him.

……

At that time, the Han family.

"Your Majesty!"

Following an order, the majestic General Han Hongyue of Zhenbei knelt in front of Madam Han again.

"I told you to be quiet, be quiet, but you didn't listen to a word I said! Is the Marquis of Wu'an some kind of remarkable family that's worthy of your personal action?!"

Han Hongyue said indignantly, "Mother, I'm doing this for the good of the Han family. If we marry our daughter to Prince Cheng, he will be the son-in-law of the Han family, which means he's half a member of the Han family, and it will be easier for us to do things in the future."

"That daughter of the Xue family is nothing more than a slut that no one wants. People can talk about her, but why is mother so angry about her?"

"Idiot!" Old Madam Han was so angry that she threw a teacup at him.

Han Hongyue dodged subconsciously, and when he came to his senses, he was met with the furious look of Old Madam Han.

"It's fine that you're targeting the divorced daughter of the Xue family, but you actually dared to involve Lu Daru in this. Are you crazy?"

"Isn't Mr. Lu just a retired teacher with no power or influence? Why would Mother be afraid of him?"

Madam Han said patiently, "Now the rumors are spreading like wildfire, and you can't even clean up the mess. As long as someone wants to investigate, the Han family will be implicated at any time. You are so old, don't you consider the consequences of your actions?"

"Mother is so timid. No wonder the Han family has been getting worse and worse over the years!" Han Hongyue was angry and embarrassed.

"Asshole!" Madam Han slammed the table in anger, "Get out of here!"

"Mother, please calm down. I'm taking my leave." Han Hongyue didn't want to pretend anymore. He clasped his fists in greeting and walked away with his sleeves tucked in.

The old woman is getting older and is becoming more and more timid.

The Duke of Chen's Mansion and Concubine Chen were at their peak. The Sixth Prince was good at winning people's hearts, and his prestige was almost that of the Crown Prince.

If she continues to be so timid, it would be a wonder if the Han family can ever make a breakthrough.

"Idiot! Absolutely stupid!" Old Madam Han looked at his departing back, her heart beating wildly with anger.

Mother Zhou quickly comforted her, "Old Madam, please calm down. Old Madam, please take care of yourself."

Madam Han pounded the table angrily. "For so many years, I've taught him step by step, and he still can't get it right."

"How could the head of our Han family be such a short-sighted fool? As the saying goes, like birds, like birds. He is so short-sighted, just like his mother!"

This involves an unknown secret of the Han family.

Mother Zhou suddenly became silent.
