Noble Lady

On a sunny morning, Ji Minrou used the excuse of going to buy some personal items and left the He Mansion alone through the corner gate.

She usually wears plain white and a small white flower on her head. But today, she was afraid of being too conspicuous when she went out, so she dressed up specially and put on a veil, looking like a young lady from a wealthy family.

She bypassed the busy streets and alleys, choosing to go into quiet alleys, avoiding all routes that might be discovered, and finally disappeared at the alley entrance, her whereabouts unknown.

When she came back, she was already satisfied, as if she had obtained something she wanted very much.

In the next few days, although He Minzhi often had social engagements, she still found time to go to the study.

Since Shi Tou accepted her benefits, he naturally had to make things easier for her.

I believe that good news will come soon.

……

In just half a month, after some investigation by Mother Huang, Liu decided to marry He Ruyi to Mr. Zhao.

A talented young man who passes the imperial examination on his own at such a young age is a rare sight.

If he can grow up, he will be the best helper for Dalang. He is a good seedling!

Liu had already planned the future and secretly found someone to go to Mr. Zhao's house to quietly promote her daughter.

Mr. Zhao's mother had already shown signs of being moved, and the next step was just waiting for them to muster up the courage to come and propose marriage.

While Liu was happily waiting for good news, He Ruyi secretly went out again.

As usual, she changed into a maid's clothes and sneaked out through the small door.

But this time there was no carriage available, so she could only secretly hire a sedan chair and go to the temple where she and Mr. Cui had secretly met countless times.

Yumei had been watching her secretly for a long time. When she saw her go out, she followed her quietly.

They entered the temple and pretended to meet by chance in the main hall as if they were familiar with the place. Then they drew lots and worshipped Buddha, and then went to a room in the back as if nothing had happened.

As soon as the door closed, the two began to talk to each other from the heart.

He Ruyi was crying so hard, and it was obvious that she was really wronged, but the other party only coaxed her with a few words and then anxiously touched her all over.

Even a young girl like Yumei could see that he was not sincere at all.

The following scene is not suitable for children.

Ever since they hugged each other, Yumei wanted to poke her eyes out.

She is still a child!

What happened next is self-evident.

After they finished, Yumei followed He Ruyi back home, and then went to report to Xue Chenyu.

By now, it was already getting late.

Xue Chenyu was still wondering why this girl hadn't been seen for most of the day. When she came back and told him the truth, Xue Chenyu, Yuzhu and the others almost popped their eyes out.

"You, you are so bold, girl. Aren't you afraid of dirtying your eyes with such filthy things?" Yuzhu was very anxious.

Qiuhua quickly pulled her aside and asked, "Did you see anything you shouldn't have seen?"

"No, no, I knew what was going to happen. I ran away as soon as they hugged each other."

Xue Chenyu held her forehead with her hand: "You girl..."

"I've eaten pork, but I've never seen a pig run." Yumei's statement was shocking.

Yuzhu's old face turned red and he quickly pulled the person behind him.

"Girl, it's all my fault for not disciplining her properly. I'm going to take her away and give her a good lesson now."

If Yumei continues to speak so recklessly, she will be so ashamed that she will bang her head.

"Wait." Xue Chenyu stopped them, "If you want to discipline me, wait a while. I haven't even finished asking my question, why are you in such a hurry?"

Yuzhu: This is a misunderstanding.

Yumei also stood obediently and answered whatever Xue Chenyu asked.

Ask her what the man He Ruyi was having a tryst with looked like, and whether they talked about the man's name during their conversation; or their future plans; the pattern of their trysts, etc.

Yumei said, "When they met, they started to churn out some witty poetry, as if they were both well-versed in poetry. And then they hugged each other after just a few words."

Everyone in the room was speechless again.

"It's hard to say what the young man surnamed Cui's name is, but I heard the second girl call him something like Cui Lang or Wen Lang. Maybe it's because there's a "wen" in his name."

The people who attend poetry readings are not fixed, and it is even difficult to determine at which poetry reading they met.

Because it had been quite a while, the driver couldn't explain it immediately.

The other party's identity has not been clarified to this day.

If we knew who he was, things would be easier.

"Although I don't know who he is, I know where he lives." Yumei saw Xue Chenyu holding her cheek and blurted out another sentence.

Yuzhu: "Then why didn't you say so earlier?"

Yumei pointed at Xue Chenyu confidently and said, "Miss, you haven't asked yet."

Yuzhu felt very regretful. She had just called a maid to take over the shift, but why did she call such an idiot?

Yumei also realized that this cold joke was inappropriate, so she immediately sorted it out and reported the man's address.

"He lived very close to the temple they were going to, and he wasn't accompanied by any servants or book boys, so he was alone. I guess that man went there with the second young lady just to be close to home."

Yuzhu wrote down the address, and Xue Chenyu arranged for her to find someone to check the address and who the young man surnamed Cui was.

The most important thing is to find out who this person is so that subsequent arrangements can be made.

"Miss, I can do this job. You don't have to let Sister Yuzhu run back and forth. Sister Yuzhu has a lot of things to do, and she also has to take care of you."

Xue Chenyu glanced at her, "Taking the job on your own initiative? Do you feel you did something wrong and want to make amends?"

Yumei smiled secretly and said, the girl has discovered this.

Xue Chenyu didn't blame her. "Okay, since you think you can do it, then go ahead and do it. Just remember not to let anyone discover your whereabouts."

Yumei nodded rapidly.

But what he was thinking was, there was no need for his aunt to take care of such a small matter personally, so of course he should ask her junior uncle for help.

The most important thing is that the man looks like a playboy. If you let a good person like Sister Yuzhu arrange it, she might arrange a good guy who will inevitably be bullied.

We still need to find some tough guys.

Holding the address written by Yuzhu, Yumei left happily.

With the new information, wouldn’t the junior master give her a big reward?

Seeing her back almost floating up, Yuzhu couldn't help laughing and said, "I don't know what kind of people can raise a girl like her."

Even after selling himself into slavery, he is still happy every day. He has a really big heart.

Xue Chenyu half-jokingly said, "I don't think she looks like a servant, but more like a naughty and unrestrained young lady from someone's family."

She didn't expect that her words would come true.
