Noble Lady

While grain prices are low now, buy it quickly at a low price and make it into wine. The wine will be available for sale in two or three months.

By then, money will come rolling in.

Liu had a good idea.

But He Minzhi was still worried, "Mother, the shop you're talking about used to be a grocery store. If you want to convert it into a winery, it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources, and it will require a large amount of money to invest."

"Purchasing grain also requires a lot of money. Not to mention finding a good brewer and many helpers. We are all amateurs in business, so how can we handle all this in such a hurry?"

"We are all outsiders in business, but Xue is an expert." Liu said calmly.

"Opening a winery is our He family's business. Your wife can't just stay out of it and not do anything."

He Minzhi was stunned for a moment before realizing that he hadn't seen Xue Chenyu for a long time.

These days he has been busy dealing with various situations with the Fourth Master Yu, and when he returns home he is having a hot affair with Ji Minrou.

How long has it been since we last met? Half a month, right?

"Mother hopes that Xue will run this winery?" He Minzhi did not dwell on his doubts for too long and quickly asked what was on his mind.

Liu said as a matter of course, "Xue is your wife, so she is a member of the He family. Our He family wants to open a winery, so naturally everyone in the family will contribute money and effort."

"She's both rich and free, if she doesn't help out, is she just going to sit there and wait for free meals?"

He Minzhi also felt that Xue Chenyu was going too far. This was the He family's business. As a member of the He family, why should she stay out of it and do nothing?

"My son will tell Mrs. Xue."

"I'm not telling her, but she has to take care of this matter. Mother is not in good health and I'm afraid she is unable to do it."

Liu emphasized, "And Mrs. Xue is young and strong. She is your wife and the head of the He family. Most importantly, she understands business. No one is more suitable for these things than her."

Then there was another wave of pity, coupled with an argument of sympathy for the son.

In general, she wanted her son to live a better life, and hoped that the He family would live better and better. She also kept emphasizing that Xue Chenyu was idle at home and had nothing to do anyway.

It would be better to find something for her to do so that she doesn't have too many thoughts.

He Minzhi thought it made sense, so he kept it in mind and said goodbye to Liu.

After returning home, he went to wash and change his clothes.

At this time, Ji Minrou came over after smelling the scent.

"cousin……"

"I have something important to do tonight, so you should go back first."

He Minzhi didn't even give her a chance to speak and just sent her away.

Ji Minrou has always been very tactful in front of him. She comes when she is asked to and leaves when she is asked to, and will never cause trouble.

But now, seeing that He Minzhi had specially changed into clothes that he would wear when going out to meet guests, some thoughts arose in his mind.

"Cousin, are you still out socializing so late?"

"No, you go back first." He Minzhi said lightly and walked out.

Ji Minrou hurriedly followed him, remembering what she had said to Liu today, "Cousin, are you going to the Madam?"

This sentence successfully stopped He Minzhi.

"How did you know?"

"Rou'er dared to guess." Ji Minrou smiled coquettishly, holding up her skirt and slowly walked in front of him.

"I think my aunt has already told my cousin about her decision to open a winery."

He Minzhi said "hmm" and suddenly stopped leaving in a hurry. He wanted to hear what Ji Minrou had to say.

"You already know this. Did your mother tell you?"

"Yes, and I accompany my aunt every day. My aunt never hides anything from Rouer." Ji Minrou said proudly.

"But I'm afraid the Madam won't have an easy time. My cousin just took away her housekeeping power not long ago. I'm afraid she..."

Before she could finish her words, He Minzhi suddenly hugged her in his arms, pinched her chin and forced her to look at him.

"Does your aunt know that you seduced her son behind her back?"

Ji Minrou's eyes were filled with mist, and she felt shy, annoyed, and wanted to break free from his hand but couldn't. "Cousin, it hurts..."

Her voice was soft and tender, and there was also a tone of begging him when they were having sex.

"You little devil..." He Minzhi's bones were so soft that he wanted to kill her right there.

"Cousin, no..."

Ji Min leaned softly in his arms, but pushed his chest with her hand.

He Minzhi came to his senses and said, "Yes, that's not possible."

He let go of Ji Minrou, cleared his throat and said, "You should go back today. I'll find you after I finish these things... ahem."

Ji Minrou also bowed to him with a humble look, "Yes, cousin."

Then she watched him go out obediently.

He Minzhi was very satisfied with her being so well-behaved and sensible.

His mother wanted him to get married, but he felt that his cousin was not worthy of him.

The impoverished Ji family, the cousin who has no future, and the cousin who married a materialistic aunt and mother-in-law, both of whose sons were not brought up properly, how could this cousin from a humble family be worthy of him?

But if there is such a beautiful woman who can accompany him tenderly from time to time and does not require any official status, then what's wrong with that?

If he really climbed to that supreme position in the future, not to mention Ji Minrou who offered herself to him, even the women in the Marquis' Mansion like Xue Chenyu would surely be eager to throw themselves into his arms.

As long as his future is bright enough, what kind of woman can he want in the future?

Thinking of this, He Minzhi even straightened his back a lot.

It was as if Xue Chenyu had already surrendered to him and was willing to do whatever he wanted.

Hibiscus Residence.

When He Minzhi arrived, Xue Chenyu had already washed up, but had not changed into pajamas yet. She sat on the couch, holding a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War and slowly flipping through it.

I would stay on one page for a long time, staring blankly for a while, then occasionally turn back to take a closer look, and then continue turning the page.

Yuzhushen felt that the girl did not look like she was reading, but rather like she was killing time.

Yumei came back after dark. After washing and eating, she didn't need any service, so she gathered with Yuzhu and others at Xue Chenyu's door to talk gossip.

Then when she heard Yuzhu and the others talking about how Liu wanted to open a winery but wanted to take over the only thing that the fourth girl's mother had left for her, she couldn't help but curse.

"These shameless people, are their skins made of city walls? They can even think of such immoral things. What do they mean by a clean family? They are more like a vulgar family."

As he was cursing, there was a knock on the door.

"Open the door!"

Everyone present recognized this voice; it was He Minzhi Ben He.

Yuzhu gave Yumei a look and went in to ask Xue Chenyu for instructions.

It must be nothing good that Lord He is visiting at this time.
