A good horse does not eat retrograde grass

  "Thank you, Young Master Murong." Mrs. Xue said with a smile. Although her daughter had made mistakes in the Murong household, it seemed that Murong Huaixuan still genuinely liked their daughter, otherwise he wouldn't have continued to help them out.

  "It's just a small effort, no need to." Murong Haoran said lightly. He turned around and was about to leave, but saw Xue Lengyu with an indescribable expression. He couldn't help but say: "Xue Lengyu, do you have something to say?"

  Xue Lengyu furrowed her brow and shook her head: "Thank you, Murong Young Master. Let's go back."

  The previous sentence was said by Xue Lengyu to Murong Haoran, and the next sentence is said to Xue's mother. Her even colder attitude than Murong Haoran hurt him, who always felt superior, and he couldn't help but say: "Xue Lengyu, you're not speaking up, it doesn't seem like your style."

  "It's easy to say but hard to hear, and it's better not to say." Xue Lengyu pulled Xue Mu and was about to leave.

  Xue Lengyu likes handsome guys, but the type she likes is the kind that is gentle, considerate and thoughtful. Like Murong Haoran, who acts like the whole world owes him money, making you feel like you should be grateful for a lifetime just because he said a word to you. The feeling of disgust comes too quickly, where can you find the feeling?

  "You've already said something so unpleasant, Xue Lengyu. What's a few more sentences?" Murong Haoxuan sneered.

  Xue Lengyu's anger was not yet dissipated, and she stopped in her tracks, saying: "Fine, I'll speak my mind then. Mr. Murong is magnanimous, so it's better if he doesn't lower himself to the same level as a mere young woman like me."

  Xue's mother is going crazy, how did her daughter's marriage change so much from before.

  Xue Lengyu said: "Helping others is a good thing, helping the weak and small is also a good thing. If you don't use a condescending attitude to help, I will remember Mr. Murong's chivalrous heart. But now, you are only maintaining your power, just like a dog that was driven out of the Murong Manor, you can only bully others but cannot bear to see others being bullied. Am I right, Mr. Murong?"

  Murong Haoran's expression changed slightly, and he coldly asked: "Xue Lengyu, do you know what you're saying?"

  "Master Murong." Xue Lengyu straightened her back, although she was still not as tall as Murong Haoran's chin, but she was still very stiff: "I indeed used to be a concubine of the Murong family, but yesterday I was already kicked out by you, which means we have no relationship now. As a young woman, I am ignorant and narrow-minded. Whether what I said is right or wrong, sir, please don't take it to heart."

  "I didn't expect you to be even more sharp-tongued after a night's absence." Murong Haoran said, "Xue Lengyu, if you had been as eloquent yesterday as you are today, perhaps I would have been deceived by you again."

  Xue Lengyu sneered: "Murong young master, a failed marriage can't be one person's fault. Maybe in the past Xue Lengyu did many wrong things. But fairly speaking, haven't you made any mistakes at all? You and I have come to this day, can we really say that the Murong household is completely clean?"

  Ning Keke didn't know what Xue Lengyu used to do, but she couldn't believe that a clever girl like Xue Lengyu would marry into a wealthy family and not know how to behave herself, offending everyone. She also really disliked Murong Haoran's attitude, it was unbearable.

  Murong Haoran was taken aback by the question, thinking of past events, his heart softened a bit. What Xue Liangyu said also made sense. He had been away on business for ten days or half a month at a time, and as a woman of lowly status in the mansion, even if his wife was a tolerant person, it was hard to guarantee that others in the mansion wouldn't look down on her.

  Leng Yu said she was also wronged, but who knows about it?

  "Ling Yu." Murong Haoran's voice softened: "As long as you promise me not to do those things again, after this matter has passed, I'll take you back to the manor."

  "It's not necessary." Xue Lengyu thought for a moment: "A good horse doesn't eat the grass it has already passed, and there is no place where beautiful flowers do not bloom. Murong Young Master is handsome and elegant, with a large family and business, I'm sure many girls would be eager to marry into the Murong household. Lengyu now only wants to go home and accompany her parents, living a peaceful life. So it's unnecessary for Murong Young Master to worry about me."

  Xue Lengyu didn't care about Murong Haoran's ugly face behind her, she pulled Xue Mu and left. Xue Mu's face wasn't good either, she said anxiously: "Lengyu, treating Young Master Murong like this might not be good."

  "There's nothing wrong with that." Xue Lengyu half-jokingly comforted her mother: "Mom, don't worry. He's just rich, right? Don't worry, one day our daughter will make our family rich too. But this money, I want to earn it myself with my own abilities."

  Xue Mu didn't believe it, but she still doted on Xiao. She naturally hoped that Xue Leng Yu would marry into the Murong family and live a life of luxury as the young mistress, but since her daughter was unhappy inside, it was better to keep her by her side, even if they only had plain food and drink, at least they were happy together as a family.

  Xue Lengyu's mood somehow improved after snatching a meal from Murong Haoran. Although Xue Mu couldn't help but feel some anxiety in her heart, she was delighted to see her daughter quickly emerge from the shadow of her failed marriage and improve their relationship, which alleviated some of her worries.

  Time flies, Xue's mother took Xue Lengyu to buy some daily necessities such as oil, salt and thread on the street, and they hastily had lunch. When they returned home, the sun was already slanting to the west.

  Xue's mother felt heartache for her daughter's hard work, so she said to Xue Lengyu: "Lengyu, your father will be back soon, you go rest first. Take a nap, mom will cook dinner."

  Is this also called suffering? In the past, strolling around in high heels for a whole day was nothing. This distance is really nothing to Xue Lengyu, so she said: "I'm not tired, Mother, I'll help you."

  With Xue Lengyu's words, Madam Xue's heart was already as sweet as honey, so she didn't really need her help and instead urged her to return to her room to rest.

  Xue Lengyu couldn't outdo her mother, so she had to go back to her room. She didn't feel like sleeping either, but sat in front of the dresser, looking at her own beautiful face while thinking about how to lead her family to wealth and prosperity.

  Xue Lengyu racked her brains to recall the transmigration stories she had read, where the lively and charming female leads would meet their noble counterparts as soon as they opened their eyes. Even if they weren't accepted by the male lead at first, it was rare for them to be kicked out. Starting her own business would be ideal, but no matter how many good ideas she came up with, they all required capital. Looking around her family's home, even if there might be some money saved up, Xue Lengyu estimated that it was probably the hard-earned retirement savings of her parents, and she couldn't bear to ask for it.

  If she made a profit, everything would be fine. But if she misjudged the market and lost money by mistake, then she really didn't dare to imagine how she would face these two kind old people.

  Alas, Xue Lengyu couldn't help but feel a bit down. She started blaming herself for being so harsh to her ex-husband Murong Huanxuan in the heat of the moment. Looking at him, he still seemed to have some lingering feelings, and on top of that, he was wealthy and generous. If she had been more gentle and pitiful, at least borrowing eight hundred taels of silver as capital wouldn't be a problem.

  Alas... Xue Lengyu stroked her own face, what's the use of being beautiful, in this era, a remarried woman is just a tragedy. How should she spend the rest of her days?
