Noble Lady

"The Duke's Mansion is very strict about rules. Do you think she just barged into my house for no reason?"

This is what Xue Chenyu answered.

Yuzhu suddenly understood, and everything he had been unable to figure out seemed to become clear to him.

Just say that how could the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion break into the bedroom so unruly? Even if they are both women, it doesn't make sense.

Xue Chenyu didn't know what she was thinking about, and suddenly smiled.

"What are you laughing at, girl?"

"I was just thinking of Luoluo. It was the same before I got married. I would be sleeping and she would suddenly appear in my mind."

These words may have been spoken from the heart, but to Yuzhu, they sounded extremely sad.

The girl has been suffering from injustice since she married into the He family.

Now that He Minzhi is involved with a widow, it's even more disgusting.

"Miss, will the He family agree to your divorce?"

"They won't agree." Xue Chenyu said coldly, "But I will definitely find a way to force them to agree."

While Xue Chenyu was busy with her own affairs these days, she did not relax her spies on the He family.

He Minzhi is now on top of the world because he has hooked up with the fourth son of Yu Ge Lao's family.

It was also because he was in a good mood that Ji Minrou and he were in a passionate relationship, and they were content with each other.

But it has been hard for the other members of the He family.

I've been eating vegetables and tofu all day and my face is almost green.

Liu was funny. She had lung disease and would cough if she felt a little uncomfortable.

In addition, her family did not have the conditions when she was young, so she was delayed. After the new daughter-in-law came into the house, Xue Chenyu treated her and prescribed medicine for her, and finally her condition stabilized.

Nowadays, the medicines used for maintaining stability are only sold at Jishantang. One pill costs ten gold coins, and one pill is needed every day.

This was no big deal when Xue Chenyu was in charge, but now the old lady Zhang from the second room is in charge. How could she have so much money to buy medicine for Liu?

The last time Liu wanted her to be the head of the household, she perfunctorily made the number three. Liu asked Mother Huang to buy some medicine, and then she excitedly went to ask her for money.

Little did she know, Zhang spread her hands and said, "I have no money."

Then, just as Liu was about to speak, she started crying, "Sister-in-law, you know the situation at home. I really don't have any money on hand. If you don't believe me, I'll show you the account book--"

"I've visited all the shops on our books, and the money I collected isn't even enough to pay them their monthly wages. I'm worried about where I'm going to find the money to pay them at the end of the month, so I'd like to ask you to help me put in a little money first."

"Nonsense, how can I afford the monthly allowance for the public? Now that you are the housekeeper, can you just..." Don't you have any connections?

"How could my sister-in-law not know about my family's financial situation?" Zhang also revealed her cards and stopped pretending.

"Sister-in-law, in order to support Dalang's studies, we sold almost all of our shops. Don't you know what goods are left? You can pretend to be ignorant with others, but there's no need to do that with me."

"you!"

"Sister-in-law, this family is really not easy to run. If I had a family background like my niece's, what would I worry about? You threw such a big mess to me, you should know how difficult it is."

"I respect you by letting you be the head of the household, but you say it's a mess." Liu's face darkened. "Why, I haven't even told you that since you took over as housekeeper, everyone in the mansion has been complaining, and you're already unhappy?"

"How about you take back my housekeeper rights, sister-in-law?" Zhang was determined to fight her.

Because she was sure that Liu didn't want to take over this mess, and even if she wanted to, it would not fall into her hands.

"Zhang, don't go too far. Do you still have me, your sister-in-law, in your eyes?"

"Sister-in-law, you are too kind. I have always respected you. Look, my husband's promotion depends on Dalang."

"Whether those two sons can do their jobs in the academy depends on Dalang. How dare I treat you with disrespect?"

This is still a sensible thing to say.

Liu knew that the tactics she had used to deal with her were no longer effective, and now she just wanted to get the money as soon as possible.

"I didn't ask you to pay it all, just give it to me as I said last time."

Zhang quickly corrected him, "Last time, I said it was from the public, not from me personally. But I don't have any now."

Liu was speechless and wanted to curse. Why is it so lively when it’s not what you said?

"when?"

"Wait until the end of the month, when the monthly salary issue is resolved, and then I can make arrangements for my sister-in-law."

Liu immediately lost her temper, but given her status, she couldn't say anything more unpleasant, so she had to leave in disappointment.

After she was far away, He Shuang came out from the small door and asked, "Can you believe what mother said, aunt?"

"It doesn't matter whether she believes it or not, let's just put it off until later."

Liu wanted to get money from her, but there was no way!

Since Mrs. Liu is sick, it should be her son who buys medicine for her. Why should he use public money?

Last time I was just casually trying to fool her, but I didn't expect that Liu was so easy to fool. It might not be so easy to fool her next time.

Thinking of this, Zhang poked He Shuang's forehead and said, "If you can listen to the lady and find an honest and down-to-earth man to marry, most of my worries will be solved."

"I don't know if those people are really as good as my wife said. I have confidence in her at the moment."

Zhang: "Of course I have confidence in her, she has..." a backer.

She realized she had almost said the wrong thing and simply shut up.

"What does she have?"

The words were incoherent and He Shuang was completely confused.

But no matter what she asked, Zhang refused to say anything.

Seeing that she couldn't get to the bottom of the matter, He Shuang stopped asking and changed the subject by saying that she wanted to visit her uncle's house.

After Xue Chenyu came last time, although Zhang wanted to go back to her parents' home in person to talk to her brother and sister-in-law about the advantages of Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

But because she had taken over the housekeeper's job, she couldn't spare the time to go back to her parents' home. She only sent someone back to deliver a letter. So when He Shuang said she wanted to go back, she didn't think much about it and agreed directly.

He Shuang said goodbye to her happily, saying that she was going to get something and left.

"You can't go!"

She suddenly thought of something, rushed over in two steps, and pulled the person back.

"Mother, you...what's wrong with you? Why do you say I can't go?"

He Shuang was frightened by the hideous look on her mother's face.

"I suddenly remembered something. Don't go to your uncle's house yet. I'll take you with me when I go."

"But I've already been with someone..."

"Have you made an agreement with someone?" Before she could finish, Zhang predicted her next words, "Who did you make the agreement with?"

"You said you were going to your uncle's house, but that was actually a lie, right? What did you actually want to do there?"

Zhang's series of questions confused He Shuang. She was embarrassed and wanted to say something, but couldn't.

But see.

Zhang's expression suddenly changed drastically. She grabbed her collar and said, "Are you planning to secretly meet that little bastard Zhang Youcai?"
