Noble Lady

"Do me a favor and I'll be your aunt."

Xue Chenyu threw out the trump card.

"Madam, are you serious?" Xiaocao felt as if he was struck by lightning.

Xue Chenyu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. "There's no turning back from the beginning. Think about it carefully before answering me."

"I, I, I, I don't have to think about it, I can agree right now, I'll do anything!"

It's unbelievable that such a good thing could happen to her?

Xue Chenyu looked at Yuzhu, and she immediately understood and walked forward, asking Xiaocao to whisper over.

After just a few words, Xiaocao's expression changed from confusion to surprise and then to shock.

"Ma'am, is this okay?"

"Just do as you're told."

Xiaocao nodded obediently, and then Yuzhu said a few more words to her, gave her some change and let her leave.

From her footsteps and the back of her as she left, you could tell that she was in a particularly good mood.

"The girl promised to be her aunt, how can I help her?"

She couldn't force He Minzhi to have anything happen with her. Besides, there was the indenture agreement to deal with. If she didn't have it, and someone found out, Liu would sell her out, and everything else would be in vain.

"Have you forgotten? Except for a few elderly people like Mama Huang, the indentures of all the other servants in this mansion are with me."

She had repaired the gate lintel of the courtyard for the He family. After she got married, in order to show her sincerity in treating her well, when Liu asked her to be the housekeeper, she gave her the indentures of all the servants in the mansion.

The indentures of the servants she purchased were still with her.

This time, He Minzhi urged her to hand over the housekeeping power, and she only handed over the account books and keys.

He Minzhi had never taken care of the household and didn't know about it, and Liu herself was unwilling to take possession of it, so the box was directly given to the second wife, Zhang.

I'm afraid she hasn't thought about it yet.

Yuzhu suddenly realized and couldn't help laughing.

What does it mean to pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons?

This He family is so funny.

"Sister Yuzhu, what are you laughing at? Tell me and laugh with me." Yumei came in skipping and jumping, and jumped in front of Yuzhu.

It can be seen that she likes Yuzhu very much because Yuzhu is a good cook and can make pastries.

And this girl is a little glutton.

Yuzhu first looked at Xue Chenyu, who gave her an affirmative look. Then she leaned over to Yumei's ear and whispered a lot of things.

Before she could finish, Yumei started giggling.

"This He family is really interesting. Hahaha..."

Yuzhu quickly covered her mouth and said, "Little ancestor, just laugh if you want to. Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Xue Chenyu let them make a fuss and went back to her room.

Yumei's laughter gradually stopped. She looked at her back worriedly and asked Yuzhu, "Sister Yuzhu, is the girl sad because of He Minzhi's situation?"

Yuzhu said sadly, "If anyone else married with love and treated them wholeheartedly, but was treated like this, they would be sad."

“Unless that person has no heart.”

Yumei didn't know what she was thinking about. She pouted and said nothing more.

A heart full of love.

Doesn't that mean there's no hope for her junior uncle?

As the prince of a royal family, he dared not say out loud that he liked the girl. He had watched her get married, but he had to be nice to her secretly.

If the girl and the guy surnamed He never get divorced, won't he end up living alone for the rest of his life?

As his junior niece, she was really worried about him.

……

A day later, news came from the second house that the third girl's injury had worsened and her condition was serious.

Then Zhang sent someone to Jishan Hall to invite a doctor.

Of course, the person who came was not Doctor Xu, but one of his apprentices.

Ji Minrou always went to accompany Liu when she had nothing to do during the day. She happened to be there when someone came, so Liu asked her to go over and take a look.

As the eldest aunt, she couldn't just ignore it. Letting Ji Minrou take a look would be considered as giving respect to the second wife.

Ji Minrou did go to see it.

However, he was so eager to see if the third girl He Shuang was hiding anything that he almost fell flat on his face as soon as he entered the door.

Fortunately, the apprentice held him up.

The other party also praised her rosy complexion and said that she was well taken care of in the He family.

Ji Minrou stroked her face and said guiltily, "I'm a woman who just lost her husband, how can I say that my complexion is rosy? Little girl, you're joking."

The other party smiled and said nothing more.

The third girl, He Shuang, was in a more serious condition and was lying on the bed unable to get up.

Zhang stood at the door and looked inside, her face serious as if something was about to happen, and she said nothing.

The room smelled of blood, mixed with some unspeakable medicinal smell. It was awful.

She stayed for a while and then left.

But he didn't go back immediately. He waited in the second room for a long time and had a cup of tea before leaving.

When Liu asked about it after returning, Ji Minrou told the truth.

"The one who came to see me was the young disciple of Doctor Xu from Jishan Hall who came here last time. His name was Cheng or something."

Then he told her about the situation in the room.

When Liu heard that He Shuang was not well and Zhang was worried, she nodded in relief.

She is in a good mood only when the second wife is not doing well.

……

He Minzhi's social engagements are often visible to the naked eye.

The fourth son of Lord Yu took him to meet the young masters of various families. Today there was a drinking party, tomorrow there was a poetry gathering. He was like he was in a field of flowers, reluctant to leave.

I am so happy that I never want to leave. I never get tired of it.

The main reason was that he had never seen these people before and had no way to make friends with them.

But now, with the fourth son of Lord Yu leading the way, meeting these noble young men is as easy as eating and drinking water.

They would also sincerely praise his talent and admire his poems.

He seemed to be able to see the ladder to the sky right in front of him, and with just one step he could soar into the sky.

He Minzhi also told his good mother Liu about these experiences, and the mother and son were very happy.

"Okay, okay, my son has made great progress. I believe it won't be long before he can move up a level."

He Minzhi said modestly, "Mother, you are too kind. I feel that if I want a bright future, I still need to take one step at a time and move forward steadily."

But in his heart he felt that it wouldn't be long before he might be able to take a few steps up.

Mrs. Liu nodded in satisfaction. "Good, good. My son is neither arrogant nor impetuous, but cautious and modest. He is worthy of being a good son of the He family."

"My son will definitely have great success in the future."

He Minzhi spoke a few more humble words, but in his heart he felt that Xue Chenyu, who was just from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, was no longer worthy of him.

When his mother wanted his cousin to marry him when he was young, he knew that he would achieve great things in the future and that the daughter of the Ji family, a small family, was not worthy of him.

Xue Chenyu could barely match him in the past, but his achievements in the future will surely be limitless, and Xue Chenyu's background is no longer enough to compare with him.
