Noble Lady

Chapter 160: Already a Dead Man

After eating and washing up, He Minzhi sent Shitou to Furongju to tell him that he wanted to see Xue Chenyu.

Xue Chenyu thought he was busy and asked Yuzhu to send him away.

He Minzhi had a trick up his sleeve.

When Shitou saw Yuzhu ordering him to leave, he was not angry. Instead, he smiled and took out a letter that He Minzhi had given him in advance from his sleeve.

"Sister Yuzhu, this is the master's handwritten letter. He asked me to hand it to the lady personally."

Yuzhu glanced at him and said, "Madam is busy right now."

He didn't even say he would pass it on to him.

The stone refused to move.

Yuzhu asked Yuli to bring him a stool, and they would see who could outlast the other.

After a while, Shitou couldn't hold it in any longer, "Don't go! Over there, Master..."

"Madam asked you to go in and see her." Yuzhu interrupted him before he could finish.

Yuzhu looked at me with an expression that said, "I don't know anything about your devious intentions yet," and Shitou's face turned blue and red.

I feel like a clown, which is really embarrassing!

However, since Yuzhu had spoken, he would not be so stupid as to continue sitting at the door. He followed her in to meet Xue Chenyu.

"Your Excellency wants me to go to Prince Cheng and ask him what he thinks of the He family?"

Shitou nodded vigorously, "Yes, thank you for your help, ma'am."

"Go back and tell He Minzhi—" Xue Chenyu smiled, "I'll tell you when I have time."

Shi Tou also wants to ask, when will you be free?

But this time Yuzhu didn't give him any face and directly asked Yumei to kick the man out.

After all this trouble, Shitou had no choice but to give up and go back to report.

He Minzhi was not annoyed after hearing what he said, "Let her talk about it when she has time."

Now that Marquis Wu'an has left the capital, Xue Chenyu, a woman and child, is quite self-aware and knows not to have private contact with men outside her family.

But he was not in a hurry. It was only a matter of time before the Wu'an Marquis Mansion was completely used by him.

Therefore, it would be okay to be polite to Xue Chenyu next time.

……

He Minzhi has already imagined a bright future of rapid advancement for himself.

In Furongju, Yuzhu still couldn't understand why Xue Chenyu, who usually had a tough attitude, suddenly agreed today.

"Miss, why did you agree to this? Although Prince Cheng has a history with the Marquis, the Marquis is not in Kyoto right now. How can you contact him?"

"Are you stupid? Think again about what I promised him just now."

Yuzhu thought about it carefully. "Pfft... Look at my brain. How can I figure it out now? The girl only said to wait for you to be free, but didn't say when to reply to them. Isn't it up to you to decide when you are free?"

Xue Chenyu poked her and said, "Miss, I have more important things to entrust to you in the future, so you should talk less, watch more, listen more, use your brain more, and learn more from Mother Li."

Yuzhu nodded repeatedly.

"Then tell me, why did Lord He suddenly ask you to go to Prince Cheng to find out his attitude towards the He family?" Could it be because of the banquet yesterday?

Xue Chenyu just smiled and said nothing. It couldn't be because of He Minzhi.

Yuzhu thought for a moment and continued, "Logically speaking, a prince of such noble status would not condescend to attend a banquet at the He family for no reason. It's also a banquet for He Minzhi to take in a concubine."

"The Crown Prince is of noble status, and it's only because our Marquis is the Crown Prince's martial arts master that he looks up to you. Many princes and nobles in Kyoto can't invite him. Could it be that the Crown Prince knows that He Minzhi treats you badly and comes here to support you?"

Yuzhu's words were meant to tease her master.

Xue Chenyu's eyelids suddenly jumped and he reached out to hit her. "You little bitch, you've gotten too bold, haven't you? I've been so nice to you that you've become so arrogant. How dare you tease me, your master? Watch your back."

Yuzhu Liandao dared not, "Didn't you ask me to listen more, watch more, and think more?"

"Why don't you say anything? I asked you to say less."

Yuzhu is very honest, oh.

Although logically speaking, the idea of ​​the prince standing up for the girl is quite ridiculous.

But the prince gave people the impression that he was very supportive of the girl. The way he looked at the girl was different from the way he looked at others.

But it's much gentler than the way He Minzhi looked at the girl.

Although Xue Chenyu denied Yuzhu's nonsense, once she heard such remarks, her heart could not calm down for a long time.

Prince Cheng, Situ Zhen, is your Majesty's nephew, whom your Majesty cherishes like the apple of his eye.

If he were your majesty's child, the current crown prince would have to stand aside.

Although he appears to be a playboy in his daily life, it is undeniable that the royal family is very strict in the upbringing of their children.

They know exactly what they should and shouldn't do, and they never overstep the boundaries.

It was already unbelievable that someone of his status would personally attend the banquet for He Minzhi to take a concubine, unless he had other purposes.

Using a concubine's facial cleanser to entertain the Prince of Cheng, who was as noble as the Crown Prince, was, to put it mildly, a humiliation to the Prince, and to put it bluntly, a contempt for the royal family.

This is not a good thing for the He family.

It is impossible that Situ Zhen is not aware of the interests involved, so what Yuzhu said is not completely unreasonable.

Did he really want to take this opportunity to deal with He Minzhi and the He family?

Xue Chenyu didn't dare to think that a married woman like herself had any great charm that could make him stand up for her.

Maybe he just took care of her for his father's sake.

……

No matter what Xue Chenyu thought, the He family mother and son did as Situ Zhen thought and kept the fact that he went to the banquet a secret.

At the same time, he was also much more polite to Xue Chenyu.

The banging worked.

However, it also gave the He family mother and son the illusion that they could get close to him through the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Climb. The higher you climb, the harder you fall."

Situ Zhen played with the white porcelain wine glass and slowly placed it on the table.

With a "pop", it broke apart bit by bit, as if it was torn into pieces by five horses.

From the moment he knew that He Minzhi had repeatedly spoken ill of her and plotted against her, He Minzhi was already a dead person in his eyes.

Fang Rui looked at the wine glass and couldn't help but shudder.

He Minzhi is really unlucky, but who made him not be a human being and become a heartless and ungrateful scum?

……

Today, Ji Minrou is the head of the He Mansion.

Ever since the cousin became the housekeeper, the servants' lives have gotten better.

Not only were the tips generous, but the food and drinks were also good, with both meat and vegetables.

The masters' lives naturally improved as well.

He also spent a lot of money to buy a carriage from a carriage shop. After all, with so many masters in the family, it would be too embarrassing not to have a carriage.

Even Liu was sighing that life was much better now than when Zhang was in charge. Even when Xue Chenyu was in charge, life was no better.

"My Dalang is truly a capable man. He actually has a friend who can help him out of a difficult situation. He is so wealthy, he must be a very important person. I will definitely visit him to express my gratitude someday."

Liu looked at the sixty-odd loads of dowry displayed in the main hall, and her face was wrinkled with smile.

Huang's mother also echoed, "Yes, my Lord is really capable. In such a short time, he actually raised more than 60 sets of dowry. This is not something that ordinary people can do."

"Of course not." Liu was very proud.
