Noble Lady

Chapter 113 Interlocking

"I thought so too, but could it be that sister-in-law has forgotten?" Zhang looked at her with regret.

"what?"

"After Dalang and his wife's wedding, you said that our He family would move on to a new level from now on and that we would no longer need these junky things, so you gave them all to the beggars on the street."

After being reminded by her, Liu finally remembered what had happened. Her face turned blue and red, her cheeks began to twitch, and she covered her chest with her hands, looking shaky.

Oh my God.

How will this end?

She might as well faint!

"Sister-in-law, you can't faint. The guest list hasn't been decided yet!"

Zhang saw through her trick, stepped forward, and stuffed the drafted list into her hands.

This was the highlight of the wedding banquet and one of the things Liu was most concerned about. Her hand unconsciously grasped the list.

"Everything is here. Do you want to let all the previous efforts go to waste and just do it casually? Or do you want to find money somewhere to hold a grand wedding and make the He family famous..."

"I hope my sister-in-law can come to a decision as soon as possible. I still have to take care of the remaining trivial matters. I'll take my leave now."

Zhang was very measured in her actions. After she finished speaking, she bowed and left, refusing to stay even a moment longer.

Liu wished she could faint on the spot.

But when she took the list handed to her by Zhang, she felt dizzy or not.

……

After leaving Ciwenyuan, Zhang looked at the sky and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud.

Thanks to the lady's good plan, she felt so relieved!

When she thought of Liu's face that turned blue, then red, and then white, she felt that she had never been so happy in her life!

"Madam is right. Madam is indeed a wise person."

She can work harder at the beginning and do enough superficial work.

Now, she has done so much, it can be said that she has put in all her effort and taken everything into consideration.

If someone talks about it in the future, no one can find fault with her, no matter whether it is based on emotion or reason.

She wanted to see how Liu would clean up this mess next.

Thinking of the hard life that Liu's mother and son had, her steps became lighter.

He Shuang was waiting in the corridor. When she saw Zhang come back with a relaxed look on her face and her hands free, she knew that the matter was done.

"Mom, is there any good news?" she asked uncertainly.

"Of course it's good news." She had pushed away a huge mountain.

He Shuang patted his chest and thought, fortunately, the hot potato was passed away.

Zhang pulled her into the house and closed the door.

"Mother, what happened?"

"Shuang'er, listen to what mother says. Don't get involved in anything that happens in the first house, and don't show up."

"And your two sisters-in-law, tell them to stay in their rooms and ignore what the people in the main room say."

"Yes, but why?" He Shuang asked cautiously.

After going through this period of hardship, she has matured a little mentally and is no longer so noisy.

"Don't ask. Anyway, just stay home and pretend to be sick when you have nothing to do with your two sisters-in-law. You were so tired before, so it's normal for you to be sick, right?"

"I understand, my daughter." The mother hoped that she and her sisters-in-law would not be dragged into trouble by her aunt.

Moreover, if they get sick from exhaustion, it will allow the world to see how much effort the second branch has put into marrying off the first branch's daughter, so that others cannot blame them.

"I'm glad you understand." Zhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Shuang'er, you have to know that everything your mother does is for your own good."

"I understand, Mother."

He Shuang had already seen the consequences of He Ruyi's willful behavior, and did not envy her at all for marrying someone named Cui.

Everyone in the mansion could see that the reason why the aunt and eldest brother were so happy was because He Ruyi was going to marry into the Cui family, which could provide them with benefits.

What if one day the Cui family no longer had any profit to gain? Who knew what they would do to her?

She didn't want to repeat He Ruyi's mistakes at all.

Seeing He Shuang's determined expression, Zhang felt relieved from the bottom of her heart.

Next, she will have to worry about her daughter.

We must complete the separation with the first wife as soon as possible, and then let Shuang'er get married safely.

Just marry the military commanders chosen by your wife.

They rely on the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion, and the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion relies on Prince Cheng. They will definitely become prosperous in the future.

In her previous life, she watched helplessly as the second daughter of the Xue family, who should have been dead, was taken into the palace by Prince Cheng and became his princess.

He also spent many years and effort to redress the Xue family.

Although the Xue family has fallen, it is still there.

When they were dragged down to death by the eldest wife, the Prince of Cheng and the second daughter of the Xue family lived a life of great glory and were in the limelight.

Moreover, all those who had participated in the fight against the Xue family of Wu'an Marquis Mansion in the past were unlucky one by one.

Some were killed, some had their property confiscated, and some had their families exterminated. No one was spared.

Even Princess Chang's own daughter, Princess Duanyang, committed suicide out of fear of punishment to protect her family.

In this life, she must board the ship of the Xue family of Wu'an Marquis Mansion no matter what - even if she can't become rich and powerful, at least she can have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life!

Although she didn't know why the lady in this life had a different temperament from the lady in her previous life.

But perhaps she had also gained some enlightenment by analogy? The wife of the Marquis of Wu'an was a businessman. A woman like that couldn't possibly teach a fool.

Even if nothing happened in the previous life, it is not impossible that Miss Xue was bullied by Liu and He Minzhi, mother and son, and she woke up and realized that she was at a disadvantage.

……

Xue Chenyu had no idea what Zhang was thinking.

She had just received a letter from Chen Lizhu and after reading it, she didn't speak for a long time.

Yuzhu couldn't help but worry.

"Miss, did Miss Chen San say something unpleasant? Why do you look..." worried.

"It's not that unpleasant to hear." It just smells like conspiracy.

In the letter, Chen Lizhu said she was very grateful for the lychees Xue Chenyu had sent her. Thanks to her, she could also show off her presence in front of the Imperial Concubine. She also asked her how much the lychees were worth in silver and would send them back to her later.

The second thing was to ask her if she could help reserve lychees for the next caravan. She said that she had heard that lychees were hard to come by, and she needed help from someone who could make a reservation. Even if she had money, she couldn't help, so she had no other choice.

The third thing is about inviting Chen Mingxuan to be Xue Huai's teacher.

Chen Lizhu said in the letter that Chen Mingxuan also wanted to be Xue Huai's teacher, but he is now working as a teacher in the Imperial College and has to take care of many students. The workload is heavy, and he is afraid that he cannot live in the Marquis' Mansion and be Xue Huai's teacher forever.

But he could spare time to come to Xue Huai's house to help with his homework and essays. He also said that if Xue Huai wanted to enter the Imperial College next year, Chen Mingxuan would be willing to guarantee him.

The Imperial College was the highest educational institution. Students who passed the examinations normally and graduated from the Imperial College did not even need to take any other unnecessary examinations. As long as their identity was verified, they could directly participate in the Spring Examination.

My father was a third-rank marquis, which was just the threshold for admission to the Imperial College.

It can be said that they are closely linked.
