Huo Yingjie kissed He Tiantian's forehead and whispered, "You're my wife. If I don't treat you well, who else should I treat well?"
He would do anything for He Tiantian!
He Tiantian felt incredibly happy.
"By the way, Brother Yingjie, what exactly is the reason for your trip to Yanjing this time?" He Tiantian asked. Huo Zhekun had said that she was too busy to listen.
Now that Huo Yingjie is back, she wants to know the truth.
When He Tiantian asked about Yanjing, Huo Yingjie sneered, "It's just that one of the Huo family's idiots was used. Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle's family were arrested on suspicion of treason."
"Huh?" He Tiantian exclaimed in surprise, "This use is a bit far-fetched! As for that idiot from the Huo family, shouldn't it be Huo Yingqi?"
This is He Tiantian's guess; the only unreliable person in the Huo family is He Tiantian.
"Who else could it be but Huo Yingqi!" Huo Yingjie said in a deep voice. "I've never seen such a stupid woman before. She almost ruined her loving family for the sake of an insignificant person."
"Let me guess again, that insignificant person should be Zhou Yuanyuan, right?" He Tiantian asked. It seems that only Zhou Yuanyuan could make Huo Yingqi do something stupid.
I really don't know what kind of poison Zhou Yuanyuan fed Huo Yingqi!
“Yes, Zhou Yuanyuan is colluding with Zheng Rong of the Zheng family,” Huo Yingjie said. “They forged letters of treason and betrayal, and they are also connected to that big shot who defected a few months ago. Fortunately, our Huo family is not to be trifled with, and we found the forger and were able to clear our names.”
"That's good." He Tiantian clasped her hands together. "By the way, how's Zhou Yuanyuan doing?"
“Zhou Yuanyuan is locked up and will be serving her life in jail. As for Huo Yingqi, she has been kicked out of the house by my grandfather and sent to the south to change her name and surname. She is no longer a member of the Huo family,” Huo Yingjie said. “After the Spring Festival, my grandfather will announce the news of Huo Yingqi’s accidental death.”
Huo Yingqi's actions have thoroughly disappointed everyone.
Old Master Huo spared her life because she was a member of the Huo family and even tigers don't eat their cubs.
"Didn't your aunt ask your grandfather for help?" He Tiantian asked, since it was always Song Chunli who had to stop them in the past.
"My aunt was terrified this time, and she's disgusted with Huo Yingqi now. Even though she's her own daughter, she didn't plead for her. After all, she's in a bad mood right now. Maybe after a while, she'll remember that she has a stupid daughter." Huo Yingjie said disdainfully, "Let's not talk about these unpleasant things. I have some good news for you. My sister-in-law is pregnant, and she's already three months along."
He Tiantian was taken aback for a moment, then said happily for Huanhuan, "That's great! When we go to Yanjing, I'll prepare a gift. By the way, sister-in-law is pregnant. Is she suffering in the detention center?"
“No one made things difficult for her inside. Luckily, my sister-in-law is a strong woman. If it were someone weak and timid, the baby might not have survived. After all, it's still early in the pregnancy, and a pregnant woman's emotions can have a significant impact,” Huo Yingjie praised, showing his appreciation for Zhao Huanhuan.
He Tiantian didn't say anything, but put herself in others' shoes and wondered if she could do what her sister-in-law did.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?" Huo Yingjie asked, noticing that He Tiantian was lost in thought.
"I'm thinking again, if I were the eldest sister-in-law, would I be this strong?" He Tiantian replied with a smile. In her past life, she would definitely have been weak and self-destructive, but in this life, she wouldn't be like that. She has learned to protect herself and her children.
Huo Yingjie patted her head and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you go through that kind of suffering."
"Mmm." He Tiantian smiled, her face crinkling into a crescent moon. There weren't many people or things that could threaten her anymore.
"Cough cough!"
Just as the two were enjoying their sweet moment, they heard their father, He Jingyu, cough.
He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie exchanged a glance and smiled bitterly. Their father was trying to break them up again!
"My dad's out, I need to go wash up and rest," He Tiantian said, unable to stay with Huo Yingjie any longer.
At first, Dad just had a cough. If she still didn't go back to her room, he would just come in, pour her a glass of water, or go to the bathroom...
They just won't say it directly, they just keep dragging things out.
"See you tomorrow." Huo Yingjie kissed He Tiantian's lips, feeling satisfied.
He Tiantian went inside to get a basin to wash up, then went back to her room to sleep.
There were two hot water bottles in the bed, which were very soothing.
I imagine that after we get married, I'll be able to hold my warm and cozy brother Yingjie without needing a hot water bottle anymore.
Being so eager to get married is a bit shameless!
But what can she do when she likes Huo Yingjie so much!
Fortunately, Huo Yingjie also liked her and wouldn't see through her. They were a perfect match!
The next day, He Jingyu asked He Tiantian to call over Secretary Qi, Zhao Dajiao, Qi Shuming, and Qi Shugen. Organizing a wedding in the countryside is no easy task!
Although there's not much that can be done during the Lunar New Year, all sorts of rules and regulations still need to be established.
Everyone was very happy to hear that He Tiantian was getting married.
Firstly, because He Tiantian was well-liked and had a good reputation in Qijia Village; secondly, and even more so because He Jingyu had a high prestige in Qijia Village.
Now, not only are the people of Qijia Village grateful to He Jingyu, but other villages that introduced peach trees from Qijia Village have not yet profited from them. He Jingyu is a well-known figure in Taoyuan County and even Huai City.
After everyone discussed it and agreed, they all promised to come and help.
Since he was asking someone for a favor, he naturally had to treat them to a meal. In addition, Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang were Huo Yingjie's parents, so He Jingyu invited Secretary Qi and others to accompany them as her family.
They drank together, chatting about everything under the sun. After a few drinks, they became familiar with each other and started calling each other brothers.
Later, when they learned that Huo Zhekun was the deputy mayor of Nanshi, the capital city of Jiangsu Province, they were all stunned and became a little reserved.
"Hehe, we're all friends, don't be shy, just like before," Huo Zhekun laughed. He Jingyu had accidentally let it slip earlier, so everyone wasn't as casual as before.
Secretary Qi has seen his share of big occasions, and thinking about it, it makes sense. So what if he's the vice mayor? Now he's come all the way here to propose marriage, so as the bride's family, they should put on a show.
Besides, he's the deputy mayor of Nanshi, he has no authority over Huaishi!
"Yes, Brother Shugen, Shuming, don't be shy, we're all on the same side," Secretary Qi said. They hadn't asked Huo Zhekun for anything, nor had they offended him, so what was there to be afraid of?
“Yes, we’re all on the same side,” He Jingyu said, trying to ease the tension.
"Since you all say so, it would be ungrateful of us to stand on ceremony. Come on, let's drink." Qi Shugen, who was older, raised his glass and drank with everyone.
After drinking, they became more open-minded and less reserved than before.
