Noble Lady

Think before and after.

Xue Chenyu could only agree with what he said, "You know me. I have always been a very tolerant person."

Yumei was shocked: Junior Master-Uncle is so insidious, this is clearly an open conspiracy!

If the girl denies that she is familiar with him and refutes him, he will use himself as an excuse; if the girl does not refute him in order to protect her, it means that she admits that she is familiar with him.

They are using her as a raft.

But she couldn't say it out loud at the moment. This insidious Prince Cheng was worthy of being a member of the royal family!

Yumei glared at him secretly.

Situ Zhen looked calm, as if he had done nothing, and walked straight to the study.

Xue Chenyu quickly stood up and followed.

Qiuhua quickly pulled Yumei and asked Fang Rui where they could rest for a while.

Fang Rui was also polite. He invited them to the flower hall, where the servants served them tea and snacks. He also brought out a little leopard that the prince had recently acquired, along with the leopard and its iron cage, for them to admire.

The little leopard in the iron cage bared its teeth and sharpened its claws at them in a ferocious manner.

Qiuhua was shocked: Prince Cheng is indeed a brave general born in the royal family. He actually likes such dangerous things! No wonder he likes to go to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

She had heard in the past that the Marquis had also kept leopards, but for some unknown reason, the mansion no longer kept them.

But Yumei was very interested in the little leopard and wanted to go up and touch it.

Qiuhua quickly pulled the fearless little girl back and reminded her not to get close to the danger.

Yumei, who couldn't reveal her identity, said: "Okay."

She begged her junior master for a long time before he agreed to let her take a look at the little thing. It would be a big loss if she couldn't touch it.

……

Xue Chenyu had no idea what happened in the flower hall.

At this time, she followed Situ Zhen into the study alone.

The doors and windows were open, but there was no maid following.

There were only two people who looked like guards guarding the moon-shaped gate outside.

Situ Zhen sat down directly, but Xue Chenyu was at a loss as to whether to sit or stand.

There are serious problems for men and women.

However, she came to see him alone with her maid, which already gave rise to suspicion of a secret meeting;

Now she sent all the maids away and followed him alone.

A man and a woman are alone in a room, so it would be hypocritical to talk about the problems between men and women at this time.

"Sir, you said in your invitation that you wanted to tailor clothes for a distinguished guest in your mansion, so you invited a tailor from the Jinyi Pavilion to come over, but you don't know where the distinguished guest you want to have his clothes made for is?"

It's not that she modified the adjective, but that he wrote the word "jiaoke" in the original post.

Most people who have a mistress in their house would try to hide it a little, but he doesn't seem afraid of being found out.

"They will be here soon, but Miss Xue, are you sure you want to talk to me about taking measurements and tailoring clothes?"

Xue Chenyu was speechless for a moment.

You said this when you posted, so I have to ask too, right?

The people from Jinyi Pavilion are really on their way.

At first, she had planned to take the people from Jinyi Pavilion out of the city, but something happened at Jinyi Pavilion, so they went ahead.

I believe that it won’t be long before people from Jinyi Pavilion will arrive.

"In that case, I'll get straight to the point." Xue Chenyu didn't care about etiquette and chose a seat far away from Situ Zhen.

"I asked my parents to inquire about Chen Mingxuan, the Jinshi of this year, so that I could find a mentor for our Xue Huai. I didn't expect my father to find you, the prince. So, could you please tell me more about Chen Mingxuan?"

Situ Zhen raised an eyebrow, "Miss Xue, aren't you curious? The Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion is obviously very large, so why did I call you to this villa on the outskirts of the city to discuss this matter?"

Xue Chenyu was naturally curious.

It was obvious that she was the one who asked her mother to ask her father about this matter, and her father then found him. Even if Prince Cheng wanted to give an answer, he should have answered her father instead of going around her father and mother to find her.

Needless to say, he even deliberately revealed that he knew about the relationship between Jinyi Pavilion and her.

I don't know what his purpose is.

Before, Xue Chenyu felt that Prince Cheng was a very difficult person to understand and impossible to see through.

He was a scoundrel, but he was used to flirting and courting favor in front of His Majesty the Queen Mother, and he did win the favor of the Holy Lord.

Although he was a martial artist, she had the impression that there was always an indescribable nonchalance in his eyes and words, just like the last time she met him at the door of the blacksmith shop, he also behaved like a dandy boy.

But it is impossible for her father to trust such a playboy so much and come to him for help when encountering difficulties. So she felt that Situ Zhen was a contradictory person from head to toe.

After a moment's thought, Xue Chenyu said calmly, "My daughter is ignorant and shallow. Please enlighten me, Your Highness."

Situ Zhen's dark pupils turned, and he said half-jokingly: "I just want to see you and talk to you."

Xue Chenyu:?

"I called you here for two reasons. One is Chen Mingxuan's matter, and the other is the dagger."

But after a moment, the playful look on Situ Zhen's face quickly disappeared, as if the person who had just glanced at Xue Chenyu and teased her was not him.

Xue Chenyu could only try her best to overcome his changing expression like the weather in June.

"Chen Mingxuan's matter concerns Xue Huai's future. Please, Your Highness, help me clear up my confusion."

"Chen Mingxuan is an upright person, even to the point of being a bit rigid and stubborn. He won't flatter or curry favor with the powerful. He's a man who's dedicated to getting things done."

Situ Zhen said, suddenly looking up at Xue Chenyu, "If he is to be the young master's teacher, it is indeed a good choice. How did Miss Xue come up with the idea of ​​hiring him as a teacher? He is an instructor at the Imperial College."

"Coincidence." Xue Chenyu met his gaze without changing her expression.

"It's no secret that I'm looking for a husband for Xue Huai. A close friend suggested that Chen Mingxuan is a good choice, so I thought of finding out more about him."

He paused and said, "I have to thank the prince. Now that I know he is upright, I can rest assured and ask my father to hire him as Xue Huai's teacher."

Situ Zhen: "Although Miss Xue is married, she still cares about her parents and siblings. This kind of care is truly rare."

"But aren't you afraid that the He family will say that you, a married daughter, are interfering too much in your family's affairs? Those who don't know you might think that you can't let go of the wealth of the Marquisate and are doing this to fight for the family property, thus ruining the He family's reputation for no reason?"

What does the reputation of the He family have to do with her?

Although Xue Chenyu didn't say it out loud, impatience was already evident in her eyes.

"Even if I get married, I will still be my parents' daughter and the eldest sister of my younger brothers and sisters."

"I'm just helping my younger brother choose a suitable husband. How could it be so serious as to fight over my mother's family property and ruin my husband's family's reputation? Don't people in the world have brothers or sisters?"

"If people can be criticized for something like this, then the world's minds are too narrow-minded and short-sighted."

With just one sentence, he calmly scolded Situ Zhen.

Situ Zhen: “…”

He was indeed worrying too much. If she could do this, how could she be a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by anyone?
