Noble Lady

Chapter 125 I Can’t Keep You

"Why isn't she at home at this time? Xue is a woman in the inner chambers. She should stay at home and not stay in her own bedroom. Why is she running out all day?"

He blurted it out without hesitation.

These words were completely what he really thought.

"..." Yumei rolled her eyes to the sky. How dare He say such things?

He left his wife, who was married with three matchmakers and six betrothals, alone in the empty house, and was having an affair with his cousin.

Why didn't he think about his wife at home when he was having an affair with his young widowed cousin?

Could it be that he doesn't treat his wife as a human being and wants her to hold him up over her head like a day-old woman all the time?

He doesn't even take a piss and look in the mirror, who the hell does he think he is?!

"Speak! Are you mute?"

Yumei clenched her fists, considering whether to give him a good punch.

"Master He, please calm down. My daughter is indeed not here." Mother Xu said with difficulty.

"I'm asking why she's not here and where she went. You guys are hesitating and hemming and hawing. Is there something shameful going on?"

He Minzhi was arrogant at this time, completely forgetting that he came to Furongju to ask for help.

Mother Xu: "Master He, you can't say such things carelessly. My daughter has always been a womanizer. How could she do such a thing as you mentioned? Please don't wrongly accuse my daughter."

What she said was undoubtedly an attempt to cover up the truth.

He Minzhi's expression immediately changed. "Well, I didn't expect that Xue was such a restless person. She actually dared to do this behind my back..."

"What are you carrying on your back? You just went back to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion to visit the Marquis and his wife, and to see the young master and the second young lady. Why did Lord He say that you were restless?"

Yumei raised her voice. Her voice was already clear, and this roar immediately showed a suppressive momentum.

"According to what Lord He said, you have to go and pay your respects to the old lady every day after work. Aren't you restless?"

He Minzhi: "How would I know..."

"I don't know how you can just spew so much shit? I don't know where all your intellectual refinement has gone. You start throwing dirty water on your own wife without any evidence. You've read so many books, but you've just wasted them!"

He Minzhi was like a duck with its neck pinched, his face turning blue and red.

I could only curse in my heart that it was disrespectful.

Yumei glared at Madam Xu again. "And Madam Xu, I see you're an old lady from the Marquis' Mansion, so why can't you even speak clearly? Do you think the girl will die if she goes back to the Marquis' Mansion?"

"I'm not……"

"I really don't know what you're doing at this age. Did you just eat for free in the past? Just looking at the way you're hesitating and covering your face, someone who doesn't know would really think you've done something shameful."

"What's so shameful about a married daughter returning to visit her parents in your eyes?"

Mother Xu's face turned pale and she fell silent.

Yumei felt better only after she had scolded everyone.

"Master He, my daughter has gone back to her parents' home to visit her relatives. If you need to find her, please wait until she comes back. If you really can't wait, you can rush to the Marquis' Mansion now and you should be able to see her."

"However, I cannot guarantee that the door of the Marquis' Mansion will be open to you."

Yumei glanced at him sideways, certain that He Min would not go and did not dare to go.

"I am the son-in-law of the Marquis of Wu'an. Even if I go to the Marquis' Mansion, it is legitimate." He Minzhi snorted coldly.

He changed the subject and continued, "It's not a big deal. She will come back sooner or later. It's not good for people to think that our He family will stop moving without her."

Then he went inside, making it clear that he was going to wait for Xue Chenyu in the yard.

Mother Xu quickly made way.

Yumei suddenly rushed out and kicked He Minzhi, scaring him back.

"Master He, my daughter is not here, so we dare not let you in. Please make yourself at your own convenience."

After saying that, he slammed the door of Furongju shut.

Who cares what He Minzhi's expression is.

Even if his face was the color of liver, it had nothing to do with her.

She turned around and looked at Mother Xu.

"I'm old and useless, unlike you, Yumei, who is now in great demand in front of the young lady. I really didn't mean to let Mr. He in just now."

As Mother Xu said these words, her face was full of sorrow, and she looked so pitiful.

If someone else heard her say this, they would probably be fooled.

But who is Yumei?

She rolled her eyes rudely and said, "You should have returned home early to retire when you are old. The girl also said that she would give you some money for your retirement, but you refused to leave."

"You look so sad now. People outside who don't know would think our girl is inconsiderate and doesn't understand why the servants treat you harshly."

"But who has ever seen such an easy life as yours? You don't have to do anything all day long, yet you only get ten taels of silver every month. People should be grateful and repay kindness. Those who repay kindness with enmity will not have a good end."

Mother Xu knew that this little girl was capable, but she didn't expect her to be so capable.

It was as if he could see through her plans and thoughts.

"I know what you said because the girl has been kind to me." Mother Xu smiled awkwardly, but there was an uncontrollable sense of guilt in her eyes.

Yumei was too lazy to pay attention to her and strode back to the inner hall to look after He Jixiang.

Fortunately, the girl had told me early on that she would stay to protect He Minzhi.

If this Mrs. Xu were really allowed to be the gatekeeper, the girl would have to sell her house.

The blind old woman had to try to dissuade her own son who was obsessed with the girl of her master's family. She was still doing trouble like this without knowing the consequences of her own actions. She must be tired of living.

Sooner or later, every one of these people will be dealt with by the junior master.

Xue Chenyu returned from the Marquis' Mansion.

Yumei spoke her mind, describing in vivid detail how Xu Mama was a traitor and He Minzhi was shameless.

Although Xue Chenyu had guessed it long ago, her eyes still turned a little colder when she looked at Xu's mother.

"It seems that Madam Xu is really old and can hardly walk properly. Why don't you take the money and return to your hometown to retire."

Mother Xu was so frightened that her knees went weak and she was about to kneel on the ground.

Yumei was quick-witted and quickly pulled the person up.

Mother Xu: “…”

After a moment of hesitation, she reacted and continued crying: "No, girl, I..."

"There's no need to be so harsh, Madam Xu. We in the Wu'an Marquisate never mistreat our servants."

"Although it was my mother's order for you to work by my side, it was also something we both agreed to. If you had said you didn't want to earlier, my mother would have naturally sent someone else."

"I thought I had always treated you well, but you've repeatedly disappointed me. Madam Xu, you're already an elder in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. If you keep turning your elbows outward like this, I really can't keep you here."

Mother Xu's face turned pale, her lips moved but she couldn't utter a word.
