Noble Lady

But if Chen Mingxuan is a person of poor moral character and behaves improperly, and is recruited into the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, it will be a huge disaster for the mansion.

No matter what, she had to find out what kind of person Chen Mingxuan was first.

He is the illegitimate son of the Duke's Mansion, but he has never had any connection with the Duke's Mansion.

It's really intriguing.

……

Return to He Mansion.

He Jixiang was already waiting for her at Furongju.

Only when she saw Xue Chenyu did she smile, then took a big sip of tea and told Xue Chenyu that Liu wanted to see her today, so she made an excuse of being sick and didn't go. Then she hid from Liu in fear all day.

Fortunately, it went surprisingly smoothly.

Xue Chenyu smiled and comforted her, "This is just the beginning. The Liu family will not give up easily. If you don't see them today, they will come looking for you tomorrow."

"I have something to do in the next two days, so I might not be able to look after you all the time. You must remember, no matter what, no matter what they say, don't agree lightly."

"Don't worry, Sister Xue, this is my mother's ancestral property. I know what to do."

He Jixiang looked like he understood everything and was not confused at all, so Xue Chenyu felt very relieved.

The only worry was that it would be too easy for Liu to deal with a concubine's daughter like her, so she asked Dongyue to stay in the mansion tomorrow to help take care of things.

Yumei brought good news.

She worked hard for two days and found out that the young man surnamed Cui was actually related to the big family Cui.

Neighbors all said that people from that big family often sent people to take care of him and bring him food and drink, and there was a sign of Cui Mansion hanging on the carriage.

But the specific relationship between him and the Cui family is still unclear for the time being.

In a word, it is not simple.

This information is not too much, but Yumei is very impressive to have found out so much in just two days.

So Xue Chenyu rewarded her well.

He rewarded her with silver and asked her if she wanted any other reward.

Yumei thought about it and said that she would send a letter to her cousin who worked at Yuelu Academy tomorrow, and then she wanted to visit an uncle who had taken good care of her before. She also promised that she would not delay her work of keeping an eye on Mr. Cui.

Xue Chenyu didn't ask any further questions and generously gave her a day off and an extra five taels of silver.

"You should also buy some gifts for your uncle who took such good care of you. You can't let people think that you haven't learned the ways of the world while working under me."

"Don't worry, girl. I saved it."

Yuzhu gave her a few more instructions and told her that if she encountered anything unhappy, she must tell her.

Although Yumei didn't understand why she said that, she happily agreed, and then skipped downstairs to wash up with the reward.

After running around outside all day, she looked like a mud monkey.

When she went down, her two buns were swinging back and forth, and it was obvious that she was really happy.

"Dongyue, after I leave, is there anything going on in the mansion?"

Speaking of this, Dongyue began to feel bad again.

"Didn't Lord He get a cold shoulder from you last night? He went to see Mrs. Liu when he got home today. The mother and son discussed it for a long time and came up with a new trick."

Dongyue learned everything she had heard from Ciwen Academy with Xue Chenyu.

It turned out that He Minzhi failed to succeed with Xue Chenyu last night, so he went back and hung out with Ji Minrou, and then got some bad ideas from Ji Minrou.

Today, He Minzhi told Liu directly that Xue Chenyu was unwilling to help.

Liu was very angry and scolded Xue Chenyu, saying, "She doesn't know what's good for her," "She has no respect for her elders," and "Who does she think she is? Can't the He family survive without her?"

Then he shamelessly shouted at He Minzhi to divorce his wife.

He Minzhi also chimed in and scolded Xue Chenyu, saying that she used to be pretentious but now she has stopped pretending and has been playing tricks on Qiao since she took over the housekeeper position;

He also said that she didn't take her husband seriously at all, and it was better not to have such a woman.

Liu came to her senses immediately. Although she could scold Dalang, he would not really divorce her.

She had worked so hard to finally arrange a marriage with the Marquis of Wu'an, which gave the He family a moment of respite.

If it weren't for the money from the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion, their family wouldn't be able to live so comfortably.

Even if Mrs. Xue was angry for a moment and wanted to eat separately from them, so what?

No matter how she tries to trick people, she has already married into the He family. Can she really do anything wrong?

Then the mother and son suggested that if all else failed, they could ask Xue Chenyu for a loan. After all, it wasn't like she was in financial difficulty just because she said so. At worst, they could give her a share of the profits when the winery made some money in the future.

Then Liu urged He Minzhi to make Xue Chenyu pregnant as soon as possible.

"Children are the best way to control a woman. The reason Xue dares to act like this with you is because she doesn't have a child to rely on."

"Once we have a child, Xue will have taken root in the He family. Then you can decide how to control her."

He Minzhi hesitated for a moment, but did not say that he had the same idea. He only said that Xue Chenyu's attitude was very tough now, otherwise he would not have been rejected by her last night.

Liu shook her head at the time, saying that He Minzhi was simple-minded, and emphasized that no woman could refuse her husband.

"Husband and wife are one. Only when you are well can she be well. Xue has married into our He family. Is it possible that she can leave?"

"If you divorce her, not only will she do it herself, but the reputation of the Wu'an Marquisate will be ruined. She still has brothers and sisters. Even if she doesn't care, can the Wu'an Marquis and his wife not care too?"

This is where her life depends.

He Minzhi understood it immediately. The husband is the leader of the wife. If he said he wanted to have a baby, what would it matter if Xue Chenyu didn't want to?

Now the Wu'an Marquis Mansion is Xue Chenyu's weak point. If she has a child, the child will be able to tie her down even more.

In the future, even if the mother is gone and the child is kept, it will be a good choice.

The mother and son became happier as they talked, not realizing at all that such a sinister method was completely contrary to their own renowned family tradition of integrity.

……

Xue Chenyu felt so disgusted after hearing what Dong Yue said.

Yuzhu started cursing, "That rotten He Minzhi, he still calls himself a learned man, but he's nothing but rotten rags on the inside!"

"The He family has nothing but gold and jade on the outside. They are nothing but an embroidered pillow and a bag of straw. Ugh!" Qiuhua was no less inferior.

Fortunately, Yumei went downstairs first, otherwise she would have jumped up and started cursing.

Xue Chenyu was so glad that she was reborn. Why did she lose her mind in her previous life? After the Xue family was gone, she still thought that He Minzhi was her final destination.

Fortunately, there is still time in this life.

She wanted to help Xue Huai find a reliable husband so that he wouldn't go down that dead end again.

The most urgent thing is to find out the background of Chen Mingxuan.

After much deliberation, Xue Chenyu decided to write a letter to Mrs. Hou, asking her father to help her find out about Chen Mingxuan in private.

And he repeatedly reminded me to do it quietly and not disturb others.
