Noble Lady

When Mother Huang came to Furongju to deliver a message, Xue Chenyu and Yuzhu were looking at the account books.

She looked at the accounts of the shop herself and asked Yuzhu to help her calculate the money that the mansion spent from her every month.

Yuzhu was afraid at first. Xue Chenyu glanced at her calmly and said, "Why, have I taught you for nothing all these years? Could it be that you can't even understand the simplest account book?"

She didn't know about other maids, but her mother was the daughter of a merchant, so she naturally learned the ways of doing business. The maid was influenced by her mother and had read a few account books.

"How is that possible! Even if Yuzhu is dumb, she should have learned at least a little bit after all the years of instruction from the young lady and the mistress."

This immediately aroused the little maid's desire to win.

Xue Chenyu naturally handed her the account book.

Based on her understanding of He Minzhi, after he showed off to her just now, he would change his mind in no time after going to Liu's place.

Just wait and see.

Yuzhu looked through the account book for a while, and her brows furrowed. "Miss, I haven't calculated it carefully before, but now it seems that the expenses of this mansion are really not small."

But before she could elaborate, Suzhi came to report that Huang Mama, who was with the old lady, and Shi Tou, who was with the adult, had arrived.

Xue Chenyu didn't even raise her head. "What's the matter?"

The meaning is obvious, let them talk about what they want to say and then leave.

Su Zhi asked curiously, "Why don't you invite Mama Huang and the others in for tea?"

Madam is not like this on a daily basis.

Because of her wholehearted devotion to the Master, she cares deeply about everyone in the mansion.

Even servants like Mama Huang were treated with special respect.

"Are you going to teach me how to do things?"

Su Zhi hurriedly said that she didn't dare, and left with pride and dissatisfaction.

Yuzhu couldn't help but complain again, "Miss, Suzhi has tried to make decisions for you time and time again, and you just indulge her like this?"

From Yuzhu's perspective, Suzhi was simply unreasonable.

Although she disobeyed the girl once today, she really couldn't stand the girl being wronged everywhere.

As for Su Zhi, it seems that she just likes to see the girl feeling wronged in front of the He family. Last time, she heard Su Zhi "remind" the girl to put her in-laws and husband first.

If Suzhi wasn't older than both her and the girl, she would have turned against her long ago.

"I'm not busy. I have my own reasons for not dealing with your girl."

All right. Yuzhu always believed in her daughter unconditionally, so she didn't say anything.

Then I thought of that widow cousin.

She had seen that cousin from afar. She knew that the one who could motivate the old lady and her son to stand up for her time and time again must be no pushover.

However, Mother Huang and Shitou still came in.

I don't know if it's because of their master, but they all acted superior when they entered Furongju.

They didn't say anything, as if they were waiting for someone to come over and kowtow to them before they could speak, as if their eyes were on top of their heads.

Yuzhu followed Xue Chenyu out of the outer room. She couldn't stand their expressions. "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave."

The Marquis is a third-rank marquis, and his wife also has an imperial decree, but I have never seen them act so arrogantly in the mansion.

Normally, when Huang Mama and others came to Furongju, they were treated to delicious food and drinks. But with this attitude today, Huang Mama felt disrespected and immediately became unhappy.

"Madam, what's your attitude? I'm here to pass on a message for you. Even if you don't want to see the monks, you have to see the Buddha."

Xue Chenyu said calmly, "Should we talk about it together, or one by one?"

From beginning to end, she didn't even look at the two people.

In the past, Xue Chenyu would definitely not be like this, but now she doesn't care.

Things that you care about will become your weaknesses. If you don’t care, then they are unimportant people and things.

Mother Huang was so angry that she had already decided to complain to the old lady when she returned to Ciwenyuan.

"Then please listen carefully, Madam. The old lady said that my cousin will live in the mansion permanently from today on. Please clean up Mingyu Pavilion and my cousin will move in immediately."

Mingyu Pavilion?

When she was about to marry He Minzhi, the two branches of the He family were still squeezed into that small three-courtyard house.

Her parents were reluctant to let her, who had been pampered since childhood, suffer such humiliation after marrying into the family, so they bought the yard next to the He Mansion and renovated it to make a new house.

Among them is Mingyu Pavilion, which is the residence she plans to give to her future children.

Ji Minrou, the sinner who harmed her entire family, deserves to live here?!

A chill had already welled up in Xue Chenyu's eyes, and the hands hidden in her sleeves on the table unconsciously clenched.

Shitou, still not understanding, added fuel to the fire, "That's what the Master meant. He said that although the cousin is the old lady's niece, she is still in mourning and would be detrimental to the old lady's health. The empty Mingyu Pavilion is perfect for the cousin to live in."

Xue Chenyu laughed out of anger. Why didn’t she realize in her previous life that both mother and son were so shameless?

Not only do they want to control everything in the He family's small territory, they also want to get their hands on her Xue family's things.

No way!

"Go back and tell the old lady and your master that I have no say in letting my cousin live in Mingyu Pavilion."

After Xue Chenyu finished speaking, she asked Yuzhu to see the guest off.

Mother Huang said angrily, "Madam, this is what the old lady wants. How dare you disobey your mother-in-law!"

Shitou: "Madam, you are so arrogant and rude. Aren't you afraid that I will go back and tell my master that you don't take him seriously?"

"Yuzhu, show the guest out."

After receiving the order, Yuzhu naturally became more assertive.

Seeing that they couldn't confront them head-on, Mother Huang and Shitou left cursing.

She was still shouting that she was going to complain to her master, so she just behaved herself.

Yuzhu was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to chase out and beat the guy, but was stopped by Xue Chenyu, who also cursed and couldn't help spitting a few words.

"Miss, you are the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an. How can you allow two servants to bully you like this? If the Marquis's wife and the second young lady knew about this, they would be heartbroken."

"I am fine."

"How could he be alright? This He... Lord He is your husband. He allowed his servants to bully you like this. He... he is not a good person!"

Yuzhu has a limited vocabulary, and her daughter doesn't allow her to call him "brother-in-law", so she can only call him "Master He".

He doesn't love or respect his wife at all. Such a person is a good-for-nothing. She didn't dare say anything too harsh and hurt the girl's feelings, so she could only say that he was not a good person.

Xue Chenyu couldn't tell Yuzhu about her rebirth, so she could only say, "I know he's not a good man."

He is not a good man.

These four short words were the lessons she had learned after countless blood and tears in her previous life.

Yuzhu was still angry. She was surprised at first, then confused, and finally calmed down.

Well, let’s just say that the girl must have her own plans, but this is too unfair.

Ever since she married into the He family, she has been inferior to others in every way.

How could this girl have suffered such injustice since she was a child?

She couldn't help but say, "Well, about the account book..."

Xue Chenyu's expression turned much colder. "Let's continue investigating."
