Noble Lady

She observed the others carefully.

Fortunately.

Everyone was paying attention to who this Cui Hua was, and no one paid attention to her momentary quick words.

But we can't let them know about Junior Master Uncle too early.

Otherwise, how could she stay with the girl?

"You can ask around around him. It would be best if you could find one or two of his former servants and see if you can figure out what this Cui is really connected to the Cui Mansion."

If this man surnamed Cui did not have a close relationship with the main family of the Cui family, Liu would most likely marry He Ruyi to Mr. Zhao as originally planned.

On the contrary, if this person surnamed Cui had a close relationship with the head of the Cui family, then Liu would marry He Ruyi to him without hesitation.

Even if they can't get married, I will make them accept this marriage at the cost of my reputation.

Moreover, Liu is a greedy person. She will not give up Mr. Zhao, whom she has been looking for for so long, easily, so she is likely to set her sights on He Shuang or even He Jixiang.

Zhang must have had this consideration since she was so anxious to come find her.

However, no matter what Liu thought, she would never let Liu succeed.

In this lifetime, the He family will just wait to fall into the dust!

……

In Ciwenyuan, He Minzhi learned about He Ruyi's ugly deeds from Liu, who had just woken up, and almost exploded and wanted to beat her to death on the spot.

Thinking about how cautious he was, but all his hard work was ruined by a naive sister, he wanted to skin He Ruyi alive.

But she was stopped by Liu. Liu was not doing it without a purpose. Because Chunhua Qiuyue mentioned that the lover's surname was Cui, she became much more cautious.

"Da Lang, I know you're furious. I also know you're mad at that shallow-minded girl for ruining the reputation of the entire He family. But the most urgent thing is to find out who that Cui Hua is."

"After all, you hold an official position and have more connections. Find out where this person comes from."

After all, that person's identity is related to the next plan.

Liu was not so stupid as to believe everything He Ruyi said.

He Minzhi was furious, but he took into consideration the reputation of the scholars, and kept repeating the same words that were shameless and brought disrepute to the family.

The mother and son talked all night long.

Just when I thought of a safe solution, I didn't expect that the driver who knew about it would be thrown in front of the He family's door early in the morning.

The cause was that He Minzhi was about to go out for duty and saw a large sack moving at the door, so he asked Shitou to call the servants to carry it away.

Who knew that as soon as it was lifted up, the thing in the sack moved even more violently, and shouted, "Let me out, help me out, I have something important to say to the head of the He family!"

When He Minzhi heard someone talking, and was about to talk to the head of the He family, he stopped in his tracks on his way to going on duty.

"Shitou, untie the sack."

Shitou followed his instructions and untied the sack.

The people inside immediately tried to get out in a hurry.

"Where's Mr. He? Where's Mr. He, the editor of the Hanlin Academy?"

"I have something to say, something very, very important. It's about the second girl..."

He Minzhi's eyes turned cold, "Shi Tou, have someone carry the sack into the mansion. I want to see what he has to say."

Shi Tou naturally quickly covered his mouth and carried him inside.

The sack containing the person was carried directly to the study. He Minzhi asked Shitou to take a few servants from the mansion to guard the door, and the momentum suddenly increased.

He Minzhi also asked Shitou to take his leave note, and when the carriage from the mansion arrived, he asked the fourth young master to ask for leave on his behalf.

Although the Fourth Young Master Yu looked like a dandy, he was after all a son of the Yu family, and he had managed to get a position in the Hanlin Academy.

Asking him to take leave on your behalf is indeed a good choice.

On this side, He Minzhi concentrated on tying up the driver and interrogating him.

"Tell me, what's your name? What do you want to do by showing up at the He family's door at this time?"

The driver Qian Da had never seen such a scene before and was terrified.

But he was thinking about what Xue Chenyu had instructed him to do, so he honestly told her the purpose of his visit.

"I am a humble man with a lot of money. Have you forgotten me, sir? I used to be the driver for your family."

If he hadn't said it, no one would have remembered it. But once he said it, He Minzhi and Shitou both remembered why he looked familiar.

It turned out to be the family's coachman.

"The carriage has been sold, and you, the driver, should have been returned to the carriage shop. Why are you coming to my house again? And you keep saying that you have something to say about the second young lady."

Qian Da had already thought it through before coming here. He knew that he would always have to pay a price for doing something. Paying the price here or there would result in different outcomes.

"Sir, when the second young lady had a tryst with that young man surnamed Cui, they used my carriage."

This one sentence successfully ignited He Minzhi's anger.

He rushed forward and punched Qian Da, knocking him to the ground.

"Please spare my life, sir. I know I am wrong!"

"How dare you help them conceal such a serious matter? And now you dare to expose it before me? Are you so bold? Who ordered you to do this?"

Qian Dalian begged for mercy, saying that he really knew he was wrong.

He also said that the young man surnamed Cui had warned him last night to keep his mouth shut and not reveal his relationship with the Cui family, otherwise he would kill him. He only went to He Minzhi because he was scared.

He spoke with tears streaming down his face.

However, when He Minzhi heard the name Cui family, he was stunned.

Is that dead girl's lover really someone from the Cui family?

"Tell me, what do you know? If what you tell me satisfies me, I will spare your life! If you don't tell the truth, you know the consequences."

The editor of the Hanlin Academy was only a seventh-rank official, but his threat to an ordinary citizen was enough.

A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death, let alone one is an ordinary citizen and the other is an editor of the Hanlin Academy.

Scholars were the most valued in the Great Sheng Dynasty. In Qian Da's eyes, he could crush him to death with just a slight movement of his finger.

Qian Da no longer dared to hide anything and confessed everything about how he had sent He Ruyi to the temple to have a secret meeting with He Cui Hua.

He Minzhi dismissed Shitou and the others and stayed behind to listen to Qian Da's nonsense.

After hearing this, I almost dropped the inkstone on the table.

He Ruyi, she is so brave!

Afterwards, He Minzhi asked Shitou to lock up Qian Da.

Even though the He family's house was small, it still had a cellar, which was more than enough to hold one person.

Afterwards, He Minzhi went to see Liu and told her everything Qian Da had said.

Liu had long guessed that they had met secretly more than once, but when she heard from He Minzhi that she had bribed the family's coachman more than once to take her there, she felt like vomiting blood again.

What kind of daughter did she give birth to? Not only was she short-sighted, she was practically as dumb as a pig!
