Noble Lady

Chapter 228 Are you determined to give me money?

Xue Chenyu smiled and said, "Madam, you may have a sharp tongue but a kind heart. Mr. Lu is going to realize his lifelong wish. You must be happy for him, right?"

This is true.

Mrs. Qi was also very happy and pulled Mrs. Xue to toast.

Xue Luoyan quietly reached out to the wine glass next to Xue Chenyu, but was grabbed, "Luoluo, children can't drink."

Xue Luoyan pouted: "...It looks delicious, I want to try it too."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Xue brought her wine glass to her lips.

Just a tiny bit of it and Miss Xue Er jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Gulp gulp" he drank a bowl of soup and kept fanning his tongue, "It's so spicy!"

"What the hell is this?!"

Xue Chenyu gave Mrs. Xue a thumbs up: It's useless to stop her. Let her know that this is not a good thing, and she will naturally not touch it.

The female guests at the table were laughing so hard that they were shaking.

Compared to Xue Hou who was still toasting with a table of guests, Xue Chenyu and the others dispersed after finishing their meal.

"Yu'er, accompany Miss Du and Miss Chen to the backyard to help digest the food." Mrs. Xue took the initiative to say.

Xue Chenyu paused, "Mother, you and Madam Qi are here, we can't..." Let's slip away.

"It's rare for you young ladies to get together, so you must be talking. How can you talk freely when there are only two of us?"

Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Xue were both sensible people. After saying this, they looked at each other and both agreed with this statement.

"Thank you, mother, and thank you, ma'am."

Chen Lizhu and Du Jingyuan also followed suit and saluted.

Xue Luoyan wanted to follow, but was caught by Madam Xue and taken back. "Sisters are talking about adult matters, so children should not follow and meddle in it."

"I'm not a child anymore, I'm an adult!" Miss Xue struggled desperately, but even though she had practiced martial arts and was no longer an ordinary child, she still couldn't break free from her mother's grip.

Miss Xue could only watch as her eldest sister led her two beautiful sisters out.

Turning around, he put his hands on his hips angrily and said, "Mother, you are biased."

"Oh, yes, yes, I am the most partial to our Luoluo." Mrs. Xue said seriously.

"You are being sarcastic again!" Miss Xue Er was so angry that her two little balls were about to explode.

Seeing her like this, Madam Xue and Madam Qi laughed so hard that they fell over.

The little girl is indeed cute.

……

Under the wisteria trellis in the garden.

"Just now I saw you and Master Chen. Aren't your two families already discussing the engagement? How come you're still so unfamiliar with each other?"

Xue Chenyu sat on the swing with ease and looked at Du Jingyuan with some confusion in her eyes.

Yuzhu, Qiuhua and the others stood far away, and Du Jingyuan and Chen Lizhu's maids did not come near.

"He doesn't know it's me." Du Jingyuan hung her head, feeling indescribable frustration.

Xue Chenyu was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

Du Jingyuan looked up at her, then nodded in frustration, "Mrs. Chen is the one who decides the marriage."

Chen Lizhu nodded beside him, "Fifth brother doesn't know that the marriage between Duke Chen's Mansion and the General's Mansion was decided by my mother."

Xue Chenyu looked at her and was in a trance for a moment.

She almost forgot that Chen Mingxuan's biological mother was killed by Chen Lizhu's mother.

"In other words, the current situation is that the Chen family and the Du family are discussing a marriage, and Master Chen knows that he will soon marry the daughter of the General's Mansion, but he doesn't know that person is A Yuan?"

"Yeah." Du Jingyuan nodded with a sad face.

Xue Chenyu held her forehead: Chen Mingxuan and Du Jingyuan have both met in the palace, so she can't be unaware of her identity, right?

and many more.

"You didn't tell him yourself. Do you already know his identity?"

Du Jingyuan: “Yeah.”

Xue Chenyu felt helpless in front of the beauty.

Chen Lizhu said from the side: "Ask Fifth Brother if you need it..."

"No, absolutely not!" Du Jingyuan interrupted her, "I've already troubled you before, how can I bother you with something like this?"

Du Jingyuan was referring to the part where she guided the Ninth Princess out of the palace and went to Qinglong Temple.

She didn't understand it at first, but after she told Xue Chenyu about this gossip, she figured it out when she returned home.

Unexpectedly, before the person Chen Lizhu arranged in advance met the Ninth Princess, the Ninth Princess took a fancy to the young master of the Yu family.

This move caused some trouble to the Yu family, but fortunately the Yu family had been prepared.

The three of them understood this matter tacitly.

"So what are you going to do? Are you going to wait until your wedding night to confess to him? What if he's got that stubborn temper and wants to break off the engagement for you?"

Du Jingyuan: "Not really."

Unexpectedly, Xue Chenyu's words came true again.

But that’s another story.

At this time, Chen Lizhu looked at the two of them talking back and forth, and couldn't help but hold her chin up to watch the fun: She felt powerless, as if she knew countless secrets but was a mute.

Unconsciously, she always wanted to get close to Xue Chenyu and Du Jingyuan. The way they talked was so easy.

There is no need to be bound by your identity, and there is no need to consider what you should say and what you should not say.

Being able to do whatever you want is much more comfortable than being with those so-called noble ladies.

Considering their kinship, she should tell her fifth brother.

But when she thought about her fifth brother marrying a wonderful woman like A Yuan, she wanted to see how big a mess they could make at the wedding.

"How about we make a bet?" Chen Lizhu suddenly had an idea.

Du Jingyuan turned around immediately and asked, "What's the bet?"

"Let's bet on whether Teacher Chen will break off the engagement and run away for you." Xue Chenyu rolled her eyes while speaking.

Du Jingyuan: "Impossible! I bet he won't."

"I bet he can." Xue Chenyu said with a smug smile, pulling out a silver note from his pocket, "I bet one thousand taels of silver."

"Then I'll also bet that Fifth Brother will regret the engagement." Chen Lizhu also took out a banknote from her pocket.

Du Jingyuan: Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry just because they are rich and showing off their wealth. They are giving money to you, Du Jingyuan.

Miss Du took a deep breath. "What's wrong with you two? Are you determined to give me money? Then I won't be polite!"

Xue Chenyu called the maids over to be witnesses.

The maids also took out one or two taels of silver each to place a bet with great interest.

As a result, even Du Jingyuan's own maid Du Juan bet that Chen Mingxuan would break off the engagement.

"Just wait and see. Then you'll see how I defeat you." Du Jingyuan said harshly.

Although they can make a bet, she, Du Jingyuan, has the ability to turn the tide at a critical moment.

Xue Chenyu and Chen Lizhu looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.

……

After talking in the garden for a while, Xue Chenyu went back into the room with two handkerchiefs.

As soon as you enter the house, you will feel a cool breeze.

The breeze is cool, don’t be too comfortable.

Chilled fruits, chilled sour plum soup, etc., as well as whole basins of ice, were brought in as if they were free.

Xue Chenyu also asked Uncle Fu to go to the cellar to get some plum blossom wine, which was as fragrant as the osmanthus wine.

That wine is sweeter and has a refreshing aroma, which is very refreshing in summer.

They can eat it with fruits and vegetables and there is no problem.

Du Jingyuan sighed with envy and jealousy once again: "You know what, this plum blossom wine is really fragrant, and it's not spicy at all, it's sweet."

"Sometimes I really want to switch places with Xue Xiaoyu."

Chen Lizhu laughed heartily and said, "Who says it's not true? Even in our Duke's Mansion, I've never seen a master's room so extravagant."

"Even so much food can't stop you two from eating. What? Do you want to move back to the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion?" Xue Chenyu rolled her eyes without any manner.

"I won't move. I can't move such a big place, but I have to drink a few more sips of your wine."

The three of them smiled at each other, raised their glasses to toast, and laughed uncontrollably.

After eating and drinking, Du Jingyuan and Chen Lizhu were tired, so they rested on the couch in the inner room.

Xue Chenyu had to go to the bathroom urgently, so she came out to relieve herself, but she was unexpectedly bumped into a strong embrace.
