Chapter 152 Please help me
After receiving General Xuanyuan's approval, Xuanyuan Jing'an cried out, "Master, please accept my disciple's greeting!"
She lifted her skirt and was about to kneel down, but was held up by a pair of big hands that looked thin but were actually strong.
"This..." Lu Yunjue looked at General Xuanyuan hesitantly. He was furious just now, so why did he want Jing'an to be his disciple now?
General Xuanyuan snorted coldly, "What? You've caused such unrest in my family, and now you won't even agree to Jing'an's small request?"
Lu Yunjue couldn't figure out what he was planning, so he immediately said, "I wouldn't dare. As long as Jing'an doesn't mind, that's fine."
Xuanyuan Jing'an knelt down happily and kowtowed three times.
Lu Yunjue was able to stay. Xuanyuan Huili raised her handkerchief to wipe her tears, hiding the surprised smile on her lips: "Father, then..."
"Miss Hu should stay too." General Xuanyuan's words made the second young lady feel like she was falling into an ice cave.
He actually let Lu Yunjue teach Jing'an, and Hu Xin'er be the second young lady's study companion!
Xuanyuan Huili cried until her eyes were red, but her father did not change his mind. She returned to her room and practiced calligraphy until late at night.
Hu Xiner also tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. The next day, she went to accompany her child to school with dark circles under her eyes.
Xuanyuan Huili was much more pampered than Jing'an, and there were five or six maids blocking her way at the door.
As soon as Hu Xin'er walked over, the two leading maids fanned their noses with their hands and said with disdain, "It smells like a country bumpkin's earthy smell. I don't know where it comes from!"
The other maids all giggled.
Hu Xiner only needed to take a quick glance to know that Xuanyuan Huili was setting many difficulties for her!
So she said expressionlessly, "Yeah, I also think there's a sister who has a body odor, and even powder can't cover it up."
The maids were secretly delighted that they fell into the trap so easily!
Immediately, everyone started to criticize Hu Xin'er, saying that she came from a peasant family and so on.
Hu Xiner showed a look of disgust and turned away.
"Hey!" Several maids came up and blocked his way. "The Second Young Lady has ordered that you not leave!"
"Whatever the master says is what it is. You are truly loyal servants." Hu Xiner rolled her eyes and exclaimed in admiration.
"Of course!" The maids were all very proud. "Being able to serve our Second Young Lady is a blessing you earned in your past life."
"That's really embarrassing. I earn 1,000 taels of gold a month, and it's a live-in contract! Unlike some people, who are born into slavery."
She hit the maids' sore spot directly and walked forward. The maids would not let her off easily and grabbed her sleeves.
Unexpectedly, Hu Xin'er was very agile, and in less than a moment, several maids bumped into each other and cried out in pain.
When the second young lady heard that Hu Xiner had left immediately, she could no longer sit still in the study.
"Could she have gone to complain?" Xuanyuan Huili's face suddenly turned pale when she thought of what Duke Guoguang had told her last night.
Half an hour later, Hu Xiner rushed back to the study in a rage, with delicate makeup on her face and clothes that were extremely luxurious!
It turned out that she had just gone to the garment factory to change clothes and put on makeup!
When the original wife meets the mistress, she naturally cannot lose the battle.
As for her manners, she has also practiced them; as for her temperament, compared to Xuanyuan Eri who never leaves the house, her confidence and generosity come from the bottom of her heart!
The door was pushed open and sunlight poured in, making her skirt sparkle.
Hu Xin'er stood against the light and asked domineeringly, "I wonder if the Second Miss has any advice for me?"
"You are..." Xuanyuan Huili actually felt that her momentum was suppressed, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth, "Is this how you become a servant? Didn't the housekeeper teach you the rules?!"
"First, I'm a study partner."
Hu Xiner crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows.
"Secondly, you are the one who has no rules and no shame in falling for someone else's husband."
Xuanyuan Huili's lips trembled with anger: "Who are you calling shameless?"
She took a few quick steps, wanting to argue with Hu Xiner, but when she stood in front of Hu Xiner, she suddenly smiled sinisterly.
"Hu Xin'er, do you know? Last night my father sent me a piece of white silk and a poem called 'Drawing the Silver Bottle from the Well'."
Hu Xin'er looked her over and said, "Indeed, what you did is enough to make anyone die of shame and anger."
Xuanyuan Huili's expression grew even darker. "I forgot. A village woman like you naturally wouldn't understand what 'Drawing the Silver Bottle from the Well' means."
This is a poem written by Bai Juyi about a woman who ran away with adultery and became a concubine, and ended up in a miserable state.
"Yes, you understand best." Hu Xiner smiled meaningfully.
Xuanyuan Huili thought she really didn't know, so she slowly smiled and said, "What I mean is, since my father won't let me be a concubine, then I have no choice but to ask you to vacate the position of wife for me."
She suddenly cried out in pain and pretended to fall to the ground. Immediately afterwards, the maids rushed in, angrily accusing her, "How could you deliberately push the Second Young Lady down?!"
When faced with the second lady's difficulties, Hu Xin'er always chooses to confront them head-on.
She vaguely understood General Xuanyuan's purpose - he probably wanted to use her as a whetstone to grind away the second young lady's naiveté and stubbornness.
It's just that Hu Xin'er is extremely exhausted from the battle of wits and courage every day.
This may be Mercury retrograde. I am unlucky no matter what I do.
Lu Yunjue was forbidden to enter the inner courtyard. No matter how anxious Xuanyuan Huili was to seize the position of the legal wife, she could only watch helplessly.
After accompanying her to study that day, Hu Xin'er saw Lu Yunjue as soon as she left the inner courtyard. She was immediately surprised: "Why are you so early today?"
Lu Yunjue smiled mysteriously and handed her a heavy bag of silver.
Hu Xiner opened it and saw that it was at least 100 taels!
"Where did this come from?" She happily put the money away.
"That kid Jing'an followed the adults' lead and insisted on giving me a reward. I had no choice but to accept it. I've saved up this much in the past two days and am now handing it over to my wife." Mu Qing said gently, "Thank you for your hard work, my wife."
Hu Xin'er hugged his neck and gave him a kiss: "Husband, you are so good!"
Lu Yunjue asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that others will find out about our relationship now? You little money-grubber!"
Hu Xin'er said indifferently, "Anyway, everyone in the mansion knows that we are husband and wife."
"General Xuanyuan talked to me and confirmed that I really wanted to stay here, so he didn't publicize our true identities." Lu Yunjue rubbed her head.
"Didn't you refuse to stay here before?" Hu Xin'er was a little surprised. "Jing'an is not easy to lead."
Lu Yunjue doted on her forehead and said, "Isn't this all for you?"
The intimate scene of the two fell into the eyes of the second young lady in the distance. She twisted her handkerchief and stared at this side hatefully.
Then she ran to the Duke's wife's room, and as soon as she entered, she threw herself into her mother's arms and cried, "Mother, please fulfill my wish. I will not marry anyone but Lu Yunjue!"
