Noble Lady

Chapter 104 A generous gift

"This is a critical moment for us to marry into the Cui family. We cannot allow any more accidents to happen at this critical juncture. You must keep an eye on your sister."

Liu took He Minzhi's hand and said solemnly.

He Minzhi didn't want such a good backer to fall before he could get it, so he agreed without hesitation.

Upon hearing the news, Ji Minrou also hurried over to express her filial piety.

"Aunt, are you okay? I heard..."

"cousin."

Before she could say anything she shouldn't, He Minzhi interrupted her, "Come out, I have something to tell you."

Her mother was almost fainted from anger just now, and she finally recovered. If she said anything to provoke her mother again, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ji Minrou lowered her eyes, said something to Liu, and then walked out dejectedly.

"If I hadn't interrupted you just now, what would you have said to Mother?"

"Even if my cousin didn't say it, I wouldn't say anything to irritate my aunt. Doesn't my cousin have even this little confidence in me?" Ji Minrou said pitifully.

He Minzhi was stunned for a moment, "Then why do you..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Minrou threw herself into his arms.

This is under the corridor at the entrance. Even if Mrs. Liu can't see it, there are servants from Ciwenyuan there.

He Minzhi hesitated, but did not push her away. Instead, he hugged her and whispered, "What are you doing?"

"It's been two days since I last saw you, cousin." Ji Minrou nestled in his arms and said delicately, "If not, it would be hard to talk to you alone."

He Minzhi smiled helplessly, hugged her for a while, and then symbolically told her a few words to stop provoking Liu. Only then did the two of them reluctantly part.

Subsequently.

He Minzhi left, and Ji Minrou tidied up her appearance and went in to see Liu.

With Ji Minrou taking care of Liu, He Minzhi could feel free to scold He Ruyi.

……

Although Butler Hu and Cui Hua left the He family, they did not really leave.

After getting on the carriage, Butler Hu quickly greeted the people in the carriage, "Second Master."

"Second Master." Cui Hua also bowed.

The man called the Second Master glanced at Cui Hua and asked Butler Hu, "How is Miss He?"

Cui Hua looked unhappy and didn't say anything.

Butler Hu shook his head. "It's hard for me to say. That girl... was just discussing the proposal with the He family's old lady and Lord He, when the second girl from the He family suddenly came out and said she wanted to get married."

He did not exaggerate, but simply recounted the situation one by one.

Mr. Cui's face immediately darkened.

I knew that the girl Cui Hua could hook up with wouldn't be a decent one, but I didn't expect that she would be so eager to get married.

Whenever he thought about someone from the Cui family marrying such a girl, he felt a knot in his stomach.

Thinking of this, he said to Cui Hua: "You chose to marry her, so I will help you this time. If she causes any trouble in the future, I will definitely not be polite."

This He family is so disgraceful!

"I understand, thank you, Second Master." Cui Hua said indifferently.

At this moment, he was completely different from the timid Cui Hua who had just been in the front hall of the He family.

It was as if the core of this body had been replaced when I stepped out of the He family's gate.

Seeing his half-hearted and calm appearance, Mr. Cui was so angry that he threw his sleeves and ordered the coachman to return home.

……

Xue Chenyu returned to Furongju with her maid. Yuzhu and Qiuhua couldn't help but learn everything about the front hall from Dongyue and Xuemei who had not been there.

The two people imitated it vividly and danced with their hands.

After a while, the four maids burst into laughter.

"Oh my God, I've never seen He Ruyi so eager to get married in my life. When someone said she'd think about it, it was just the woman's modesty. She's just going through the motions and will write back to the man to finalize the marriage." Yuzhu laughed so hard that she fell over.

Qiu Hua also laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. "That's right, I didn't expect she couldn't even wait for a moment."

"If you live long enough, you'll see everything. How could there be someone like He Ruyi?"

"Isn't she ashamed? Even if she isn't ashamed, doesn't she care about the reputation of the He family? Moreover, if she does this, how will the Cui family look at her?" Dongyue felt embarrassed for her just thinking about it.

Xue Chenyu drank tea and watched them chatting lively.

Finally, he concluded, "Yumei is the biggest contributor to the wonderful show we can watch. Yumei, what reward do you want this time?"

"No, no, the girl has given you enough. Yumei is not that greedy person." Little Yumei waved her hand quickly.

Yuzhu smiled and said that she was being modest. This time, she was the one who ran around and asked people for help regarding Cui Hua's matter. She was the busiest one.

"Our young lady is very clear about rewards and punishments. As long as we do our job well, she will never be stingy. You don't have to worry about her remembering you asking for a reward. She's not that stingy."

"No, no, the lady has already given me the reward. I can't get multiple rewards for doing one job. That's so shameless." Yumei raised her little face and spoke as if it were true.

The result was that Yuzhu, Qiuhua and Dongyue were all laughing so hard that they were rolling on the ground.

Yumei was so anxious that she stamped her feet: I'm serious, why are you still laughing at me?

Seeing the four of them having so much fun, Xue Chenyu couldn't help laughing.

It is no exaggeration to say that the whole thing was Yumei's credit.

Her uncle is very powerful, and her uncle's friend is even more powerful.

A few days ago, Yumei found out Cui Hua's identity through her very good uncle, and found out that he was suspected to be the concubine of Cui Erye, the second master of the Cui family's East Mansion.

Then she spread the news about Cui Hua and the second daughter of the He family to the Cui family through her uncle's friend who worked there.

Mr. Cui Er was obviously very concerned about Cui Hua's affairs. After hearing some rumors, he went to Shimen Alley to meet Cui Hua in person.

This behavior was soon discovered by the people He Minzhi sent to stake out near Cui Hua's house. The next day, he brought people to block Cui Hua's door and forced him to come to propose marriage.

And then today's incident happened.

Xue Chenyu guessed that when Mr. Cui learned that Cui Hua had an affair with a girl outside, he didn't care too much, but when the other party was the second daughter of the He family, he became concerned.

No matter what, He Minzhi was a compiler in the Hanlin Academy, and his grandfather was also a famous Confucian scholar. Although the Cui family was not afraid of a small, impoverished family like the He family, many ants can kill an elephant.

Moreover, it is an affair that is not something that can be made public and should not be allowed to appear in public. If it gets out, the Cui family's reputation will be tarnished. It is really unnecessary.

That's why Mr. Cui sent a second butler to try to calm the situation down.

Unexpectedly, I met such a wonderful person like He Ruyi.

If Cui Hua is really the concubine of Mr. Cui, I am afraid that when Butler Hu goes back and reports everything that happened in the He family, Mr. Cui will beat the child.

Thinking of this, Xue Chenyu felt that Yumei's uncle was more and more powerful.

"If I have the chance in the future, I must present a generous gift to express my gratitude in person." She muttered to herself.
