Noble Lady

Chapter 399: Borrowing Strength

Seeing that his expression had calmed down, Xue Chenyu felt much more relieved.

Although it is unknown what he talked about with Mr. Lu and Mrs. Qi, there is a deep friendship between them as teacher and student. Their conversation makes him feel a sense of belonging and security.

I think this is the reason why the stubbornness in his eyes and his determination to die have eased a little.

but.

It wasn't just him who felt relieved after talking with his master and his wife.

After she went out just now, she chatted with Mrs. Xue for a while and felt a lot more relaxed.

The day.

Everyone in the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But they did not slack off.

On the contrary, Mrs. Xue took the confidential life-saving map, found a trusted confidant, and assigned the task of finding a way to save people to him.

It must be achieved at any cost.

Together with the road that was opened up with great effort and time, this road will become the way out for Xue Hou and his men.

All these arrangements were made by Mrs. Xue.

She has been in business for many years and has her own connections, which are things that Xue Chenyu, a teenage girl, still cannot compare with.

Xue Chenyu knew it very well, so they divided the work and cooperated with each other.

Leave the outside matters to Mrs. Xue.

Xue Huai's task is to keep the school running normally and not let outsiders see any clues.

And our second Miss Xue, she will naturally go to have some fun with Princess An Ning and the princesses.

What Xue Chenyu has to do is to safely send Cai Jinxue to His Majesty and ensure that what Han Hongyue has done can be made public.

But this goal is the most difficult to achieve.

Not to mention that there are nobles everywhere under the emperor's feet, and each family has spies as numerous as the hairs on a cow.

Take the palace for example, which is where the queen lives. How easy is it to avoid her eyes and ears?

Therefore, the help of Duke Chen's Mansion, Concubine Chen, the Sixth Prince and others is indispensable.

"clatter."

The white cloud piece pinched by Xue Chenyu's index and middle fingers fell onto the jade chessboard, making a crisp sound.

Then his eyes moved upwards and met Du Jingyuan, who was dressed in blue and men's clothes across from him.

He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Ayuan, you lose."

Du Jingyuan paused, then scanned the chessboard, which was dotted with stars, up and down. "I lost? Where did I lose?"

Xue Chenyu kindly pointed out a black piece that was surrounded by white pieces and had no air left.

Then he picked them up from the board one by one.

Du Jingyuan's pretty face immediately wrinkled into a bun, and she threw the black piece in her hand to the side, and it stood up with a "pop".

"Xue Xiaoyu, you're bullying me again. Didn't you say you don't know how to play chess?"

This shout even attracted the attention of Luoluo, Princess An Ning and the others who were swinging on the swing and eating preserved fruits not far away.

"Xiao Luoluo, what happened to them?" Princess An Ning asked curiously. After she finished speaking, she reminded Taotao, "Don't stop, don't stop. I didn't stop when I pushed you just now."

Taotao pushed the swing and she was swung into the air, her pink dress flying up.

Luoluo cracked some melon seeds and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. Eldest Sister and Sister Yuan are like this. Sister Yuan must be upset because she lost. It's normal. No, Princess Sister, it's my turn to go up. You come down quickly."

"I don't want it."

Several little girls even started fighting over the swings.

There is a stone table under the corridor.

"I don't know how to play chess." Xue Chenyu held her cheek with an innocent look on her face.

"You know I've never learned to play the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting since I was a child. I gave up on poetry and song halfway through. I only learned chess from a teacher for two years when I was a kid, but that wasn't even enough to qualify me."

Du Jingyuan's eyes nearly rolled to the sky. "You're not even a beginner, and you've already beaten me eighteen games. What am I then? A three-year-old child? Or am I just a stepping stone for you to show off your chess skills?"

"You are putting the blame on me. It was obviously you who insisted on dragging me to play chess as soon as you came in. I told you that I couldn't do it, but you were eager to teach me. Now you are blaming me?" Xue Chenyu pretended to be angry.

As he spoke, he pointed to Chen Lizhu, who was also dressed in men's clothing, and said, "Miss Chen San was watching the whole thing. Don't even think about denying your responsibility."

Du Jingyuan looked at Chen Lizhu: You won’t turn your elbow outward, will you?

Chen Lizhu was also in a dilemma and could only sit aside with her head in her hands and pretend to be innocent.

Then, Du Jingyuan snorted angrily and sat back.

There were many delicious fruits and snacks on the small table next to her. She only took a look and quickly gestured to Dujuan to give her a bite of the pastry.

He chewed it and swallowed it, then added a sip of light green tea, and then said happily, "I forgive you."

Xue Chenyu: "Then you'd better not forgive me. Return my pastries and tea."

Du Jingyuan put her hands on her chest and said only two words to her: "Don't even think about it!"

Chen Lizhu was laughing uncontrollably beside her.

Finally, Yuzhu, Xiahe, Dujuan and the others looked at each other and naturally laughed uncontrollably.

Everyone thought that today was just an ordinary day when the Sixth Prince came to ask for an audience with Mr. Lu.

But today, it happened that Du Jingyuan and Chen Lizhu also wanted to come over to chat with Xue Chenyu, and Luoluo also invited her friends, so everyone got together.

"girl."

Just as there was laughter here, Yumei walked quickly into the yard with a tray of snacks, looking very serious, and Weng Xuemei followed behind her.

Seeing this, Yuzhu hurried forward and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

"Sister Yuzhu, something big seems to have happened to the Sixth Prince." Yumei said in a low voice.

Then he spoke quickly.

Yuzhu asked her to wait, then went forward to report to Xue Chenyu, "Miss, Yumei said that the Sixth Prince seems to have discovered something incredible in the academy. Madam is not at home, so I need you to make the decision."

Chen Lizhu and Du Jingyuan, who were chatting and laughing, became quiet.

Xue Chenyu also paused, "Let Yumei come over and talk."

"Yes."

Yuzhu turned around and went back, then called Yumei over.

"Yuzhu said there was an accident at the academy. What exactly happened?"

Yumei quickly put down the snacks and knelt down. "Miss, the Sixth Prince went to Mr. Lu for advice as usual, but he accidentally discovered that the usually strict Mr. Lu had blood on his sleeves, so..."

The Sixth Prince went to ask for an audience with Mr. Lu, but found blood on Mr. Lu's cuffs. He was afraid that Mr. Lu had been bullied by the people in Wu'an Marquis' Mansion, so he insisted on getting to the bottom of it.

Then they discovered that there was an extraordinary person hiding in Mr. Lu’s house.

The man had many wounds on his body and looked haggard. When he saw the stranger coming in, he blurted out, "Where are you from? There are so many people who want to kill me, but you are the first one."

The Sixth Prince naturally wanted to investigate further.

But Mr. Lu refused to say anything, and now the Sixth Prince was in a stalemate with Mr. Lu.

Xue Chenyu just frowned and stood up helplessly, "I'll go over and take a look."

Du Jingyuan and Chen Lizhu no longer cared about playing around and said, "Let's go take a look too."

Before Xue Chenyu could say anything, Luoluo, Princess An Ning, Taotao, and the other children also ran over from the swings, "What happened?"

Xue Chenyu held her forehead with her hand. "It's just some small things. Go and have fun. I'll be back soon."

But none of them were willing, so she could only lead a group of girls, young and old, and head towards the private school.

Thus, Cai Jinxue's identity was revealed in front of this group of princes, princesses and princesses.

The case in Daling County in the northern border and what Han Hongyue had done were also fully revealed at this moment.

As the saying goes, "use the force of your opponent to defeat him." It is not easy to reach the emperor through other means, but through them, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
