Noble Lady

Chapter 179 Secretly Admiring Her

"You really gave me a difficult problem." Xue Chenyu pressed his temple.

After knowing this, she wondered whether she should find an opportunity to talk to Jixiang.

If she didn't say it, she could still be a simple and happy second Miss He. With the letter of severance, even though her identity as a concubine's daughter of the He family was not good, she would not have to be dragged down by the He family for the rest of her life.

If she told the truth, her biological father was the murderer who killed her uncle, and her mother was also an accomplice in killing her uncle. The only person from her maternal grandparents who was still alive was her aunt, who was not related by blood but was still seeking revenge.

So how should she cope with it?

Should I just pretend nothing happened and continue living my current life?

Or should I stand with Mother Li, risk everything, and fight the He family to the death?

However, if she is still fighting with the He family, how can she let herself go? She also has half of the He family's blood in her body.

Dad may not love her, but he cannot be a murderer.

Thinking of this, Xue Chenyu felt even more headache.

"You go back and rest first, I will think about it carefully."

Seeing that Xue Chenyu was really distressed, Yuzhu realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly withdrew.

With this annoying problem, Xue Chenyu no longer had the heart to look at the account book.

He threw the account book on the table and closed his eyes to rest.

"Knock knock knock."

what sound?

Xue Chenyu heard a very slight noise and suddenly opened her eyes.

There was no one else in the room except her, and she thought she had misheard.

"Knock knock knock."

The tapping sound came again.

Is it the direction of the rear window?

Xue Chenyu hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked over.

She came over and the sound disappeared.

Just when she thought she was hallucinating, she heard a deep, slow male voice say, "Do you want me to knock again for it to count?"

Xue Chenyu was startled.

This voice is so familiar!

If no one imitated me, the person outside the rear window wouldn't be...

As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, the rear window opened by itself.

Suddenly, a handsome face with a smile appeared, grinning and showing a mouthful of white teeth, "Miss Xue, it's not easy to see you."

Cheng, Prince Cheng?

Xue Chenyu nearly bit off her tongue. "How could you...if someone saw us so late at night, I..."

"It's so late at night, so of course I'm here to see you. If anyone sees me, I'll kill them immediately."

Xue Chenyu:?

"I was just joking, didn't I scare you?"

Xue Chenyu shook her head blankly and thought to herself, it's already shocking enough that you appear here at this hour, there's no need to add anything to make it icing on the cake.

"Miss Xue, won't you invite me in to sit down?"

Xue Chenyu was speechless for a moment: "My Lord, men and women should not touch each other, and it's so late at night, I'm afraid it's not convenient to ask you to come in."

"That's right." Situ Zhen didn't show any embarrassment at being rejected. He smiled and said, "Then Miss Xue, do you mind going to the same place with me?"

Xue Chenyu blinked.

She didn't even have the chance to say she didn't want to before he grabbed her arm and lifted her up.

Summer clothes were thin, and even though she was wearing a coat, she could still feel the temperature of his palm burning.

When she came to her senses, she was already standing in an attic.

Looking down from the open window, I could see that the light was on in her room.

"Isn't that..." Xue Chenyu realized belatedly that this was her Mingyu Pavilion.

"Ms. Xue's place is so elegantly decorated. I really like looking down from here. The scenery is very nice."

Xue Chenyu's confused mind finally came to a clear state here. She suddenly broke free from him and took three steps back.

"You..." You haven't been secretly watching me from this position.

When the words came to her lips, she felt that they didn't make sense.

Why would the dignified Prince Cheng, the nephew of His Majesty, spy on a married woman like her?

I can't possibly think that he secretly loves her.

Xue Chenyu quickly patted her hot cheeks. "Impossible, impossible! What are you thinking about?"

"What did Miss Xue think of?" Situ Zhen looked at her leisurely as she shook her head and blushed, feeling secretly happy in his heart.

Xue Chenyu was distracted for just a moment and immediately regained her composure.

"Nothing, I just didn't expect the prince's martial arts to be so strong that he could carry me, a burden, and still climb the walls and run across the eaves to the attic of Mingyu Pavilion. Normally, just climbing the ladder would tire me out."

Such a calm voice, as if he was just an ordinary person no different from others.

Prince Cheng was secretly unhappy again. It would be good if she could just look at him a little longer.

He waited for so long, endured for so long, and finally waited until she was about to divorce He Minzhi.

Originally he wanted to continue waiting, but when he entered Mingyu Pavilion today and saw her busy there, he suddenly felt that he could not wait any longer.

I can't wait to see her and tell her in person.

"Aren't you curious why I took you out of your room without paying attention to the rules between men and women?"

Xue Chenyu's heart skipped a beat, but she still maintained a polite smile. "If the prince has any instructions, just let me pass on the message. I will definitely help you if I can."

"This method is really inappropriate. If someone sees us, not only will the prince be in trouble, but my reputation will also be damaged. If someone then criticizes the Marquis of Wu'an's family, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain myself clearly."

Situ Zhen paused and said, "I was reckless. Next time I will have someone deliver the visiting card properly."

Xue Chenyu: That’s not what I meant!

What she meant clearly was that the Prince of Cheng was her father's student, and that was the extent of her relationship with him. She shouldn't have too much contact with him, otherwise it would cause unnecessary trouble to him.

When did it become necessary for him to send a formal visiting card?

Situ Zhen held a folding fan in his hand and bowed politely. "I really had no choice but to come here today. I hope Miss Xue will forgive me for any impoliteness I may have shown in such a hurry."

"That's not necessary." Xue Chenyu hurriedly returned the greeting. "I don't know what kind of matter it is that requires you to trouble the prince to come here in person."

"Are you looking for the person who helped tame the frightened horse on He Ruyi's wedding day?"

Xue Chenyu's eyes lit up, but she didn't dare to overstep the line. "Yes, does the prince know the whereabouts of this person?"

"I wonder if Miss Xue is looking for him to thank him for taming the horse and preventing someone from getting killed, or if she's just looking for some silver to send him away and tell him to stop talking nonsense."

"Why do you say that, Prince? He has done the He family a favor. Such a benefactor should be thanked in person."

She also wanted Liu and He Minzhi to come and express their gratitude in person, believing that they would thank her for helping her find this benefactor.

She wanted them to remember forever the shame of He Ruyi's dowry being scattered all over the street with stones, and to remind them all the time of the immoral things Ji Minrou had done!

Let Ji Minrou no longer stay in the He family!

What Ji Minrou did to her in her previous life never happened in this life, but it was because she had thought it through now that Ji Minrou failed, not because Ji Minrou was kind.

Besides, a person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear from his own shadow.

If Ji Minrou hadn't done those immoral things, how could she have been caught by others?
