Noble Lady

He Minzhi also said that he had asked for leave and that today he had to find out who that Cui man was.

This matter cannot be delayed at all.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dalang. This matter must not be spread outside."

The doctor who came yesterday did not see He Ruyi, but Liu calculated from what Chunhua Qiuyue and He Ruyi herself had asked, that the evil seed in her belly had been at least a month old.

Regardless of whether this evil creature is beaten or kept, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.

Otherwise, time will be delayed and your stomach won’t wait for you.

"Don't worry, mother. I know what I'm doing."

He Minzhi did not waste a moment and went to Furongju after leaving Ciwenyuan.

He got up because he wanted to ask Xue Chenyu to help look after Liu, but he didn't expect Xue Chenyu to refuse him outright.

"Master He, it is my responsibility to take care of the old lady. You don't need to come and do anything unnecessary."

After saying that, she drove him out without giving him a chance to speak, then took Yuzhu and Qiuhua and went to Ciwenyuan with her things in a grand manner.

Xue Chenyu got up early.

Although she didn't like Liu, as long as she was the daughter-in-law of the He family, she would act in front of others.

She would never let herself be criticized.

He Minzhi, however, interpreted her behavior as: "She still has me in her heart. Just like what Mr. Yu Si said, what this woman says is the opposite of what she thinks in her heart."

She said she hated him, but she cared about his sick mother. This woman is hard on the outside but soft on the inside.

He said, how could Xue just say she didn't like or care about him?

He Minzhi watched her back, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

It was only after Shitou called him repeatedly that he finally came back to life.

"Sir, are you..." Are you still more concerned about your wife?

He Minzhi then glanced at him and said, "Whatever it is, as long as Xue is still my legal wife, I will treat her as such."

On the surface of the stone, "Yes, yes, I understand."

In fact, I had already cursed him in my heart.

What's the etiquette of being a legal wife?

Who is a good man who marries a wife home, uses her dowry, eats her, drinks her, and uses her things, and then leaves her aside and has an affair with his cousin?

Although he took advantage of that cousin, she also looked down on people like him.

He wouldn't think he was particularly affectionate, would he?

……

Ciwen Academy.

Xue Chenyu came in a grand manner, bringing food and drinks and two maids. Ji Minrou was not willing to be left behind and got up early.

But Xue Chenyu just sat there and played the role of a virtuous daughter-in-law, and in fact she didn't have to do anything.

Ji Minrou serves tea and water.

Huang Mama is the one who decocts and boils the medicine.

Originally, Ji Minrou could still find a way to apply eye drops, but with Xue Chenyu sitting there, she could do nothing.

I also had to be ordered to run errands and do odd jobs.

Ji Minrou was almost mad with anger.

Every time she was about to throw a tantrum, Yuzhu would immediately say, "Isn't Miss Cousin the most filial and respectful to the old lady? How come you are not even willing to serve her tea or water when she is sick?"

"Didn't you say that you grew up in the He family and regarded the old lady as your own mother?"

"How can a daughter hide away and not help her mother when she's sick? Then your daughter is worse than my daughter, a bride who's only been married for half a year."

What did Xue Chenyu do? Didn't she just sit there motionless like a clay sculpture or wooden carving?

She also ate and drank, not missing out on anything!

Yuzhu rolled her eyes. "It's my daughter's business if she's filial, but we can't bear to let her run around all by herself. Otherwise, what's the point of him keeping us maids?"

"If you don't like it, you can ask your maid to help." The question is, can you do it?

Yuzhu's attitude was extremely arrogant. He was sure that Xiaocao was not that diligent.

She finally waited for the opportunity when Ji Minrou showed her courtesy to Mrs. Liu, and then she could shirk her duties. This opportunity was rare, but she didn't cherish it and took the opportunity to show her courtesy to the adults. Was she stupid?

"..." Ji Minrou was choked by Yuzhu and was speechless.

The delicate and pitiful face turned blue and red, it was so pitiful.

And Liu was extremely uncomfortable.

Xue Chenyu came to see her, but he also brought a stack of account books and a bag of melon seeds, and he was eating melon seeds while looking at the account books.

The key is that she is very well-educated. She makes no noise when eating and the melon seed shells don't fall to the ground. When she gets thirsty while eating melon seeds, there is a maidservant beside her to serve her tea and water.

This is not a place to take care of the sick, it is clearly a place to enjoy yourself.

However, as soon as someone came, she asked the maid to put away the whole bag of melon seeds in advance and stood aside obediently.

Ji Minrou, who had been running around, had just sat down for a while when He Minzhi came in.

Just then, Mrs. Liu started coughing, and Xue Chenyu handed the spittoon to her.

He Minzhi saw this scene as soon as he entered the room. At a glance, he saw Ji Minrou sitting there motionless with a plate of melon seeds and a cup of tea beside her. His face turned green immediately.

"What is cousin doing?"

Ji Minrou jumped up when she heard the voice, "Cousin?"

He Minzhi's face fell.

Liu had just coughed up the phlegm, and Xue Chenyu handed her some water to rinse her mouth. He Minzhi caused her to choke on the water and start coughing again.

"If you have anything to say, go outside and talk about it." Xue Chenyu said in a deep voice.

Before Ji Minrou could explain herself, He Minzhi pulled her out.

"Before, you always said that you treated my mother like your own daughter, and when she was sick, you said you came to take care of her. I never thought you would be this kind of person."

No matter how much Xue quarreled with him, she always took good care of her mother. On the contrary, this cousin who looked pitiful and lovely on weekdays was actually slacking off.

How could she do such a thing?

"No, cousin, those melon seeds are not yours or mine..." Seeing He Minzhi turned around and was about to leave, she anxiously hugged his arm and acted coquettishly, "Cousin, listen to my explanation."

He Minzhi was so frightened that he pushed her away and said, "What are you doing?!"

This is Ciwenyuan, just across a moon gate. How dare she touch me so blatantly?

Ji Minrou only just realized that her behavior was inappropriate and quickly took a few steps back.

"I'm sorry, cousin. I just forgot that we are adults."

This is taking care of her own behavior.

Qiuhua was looking out the door.

He Minzhi also pretended to be unfamiliar, "...We are no longer the children we used to be. We can no longer behave so intimately. Otherwise, if word gets out, it will be criticized."

"Rou'er knows she was wrong, please forgive me, cousin." Ji Minrou apologized weakly.

Qiuhua was too lazy to read any further after seeing this.

What are these two people pretending for? They act as if everyone knows that they have secretly rolled into the same bed a long time ago. What is there to pretend for?
