Chapter 207: A Great Disaster
Liang Shanyu's words made Yu stunned.
Yu lowered her head and pondered, but Huo Siyuan growled impatiently, "What's the use? Can Grandmother really stop the Emperor?"
"But the emperor doesn't know about it yet. The incident happened suddenly. Even if Huo Jin wants to report this matter, he has to wait until the morning court. It will definitely be in time if we go to find the old lady now. Go quickly, husband!" Liang Shanyu spoke in a faster tone, fearing that she would be scolded again if she spoke too late.
Seeing that Liang Shanyu was still pushing him, Huo Siyuan immediately became annoyed.
If it weren't for this woman's bad idea, would he have ended up like this?
The more he thought about the tone, the more Huo Siyuan wanted to raise his fist.
"What do you know, you—"
"Wait!" Yu stood up and grabbed Huo Siyuan's waving hand.
She looked at Liang Shanyu deeply.
In fact, Liang Shanyu was not wrong. The only one who could and was willing to save Huo Siyuan was probably the old lady.
"Both of you, come with me to see the old lady."
After so many years, Yu still knew the old lady's temper.
Huo Siyuan made such a big mistake, and it would definitely not be enough for the old lady to admit his mistake alone.
Seeing Yu turn around and walk out, Huo Siyuan quickly chased after her, completely ignoring Liang Shanyu's physical discomfort and following behind.
"Mom, why are you following her? Grandmother is partial to Huo Jinjian..."
Yu walked without stopping, her tone filled with disappointment: "The old lady cares most about the reputation of the Huo family, and so does the Marquis. If this matter is brought to the emperor, it will damage the reputation of the entire Marquisate. They will not sit idly by."
Huo Jinjian might not listen to what Lord Huo said, but if the old lady spoke, it would still have some effect.
Huo Siyuan suddenly understood.
I see.
He hurried ahead and came to the old lady's yard and asked to see her.
The nanny wondered why the three people from the second courtyard came together so late at night, and hurried to report to the old lady who had just fallen asleep.
The old lady's eyes were still bright, but she showed displeasure in the flickering candlelight.
It's definitely not a good thing for the second wife to come to the house so late at night.
"Let them kneel in the front hall." The old lady slowly stood up.
When they heard the old lady ask them to kneel down, Yu and Liang Shanyu knelt down without saying a word.
Huo Siyuan was a little dissatisfied.
In such a short time, how could the old lady know the reason?
He said that the old lady favored Huo Jin, so why bother coming here?
Liang Shanyu looked anxious.
If you don't want to live anymore, don't drag her down with you!
To protect herself, Liang Shanyu reached out and tugged at the corner of Huo Siyuan's clothes, saying softly, "Husband, let's make do with expediency."
Huo Siyuan looked at the nanny with an indifferent expression, and then knelt down reluctantly.
There was only one candle lit in the front hall, and they knelt in boredom, staring at the candle.
Until the candle was half burned, Huo Siyuan felt that his legs were almost numb from kneeling, and the old lady came to the front hall with the help of the nanny.
The old lady's eyes swept over the three people from the second wife who were kneeling in an orderly manner below.
"Tell me, what trouble have you gotten yourself into?" Her tone was the same as usual, neither hurried nor slow, and it seemed that she didn't know what had happened yet.
Yu glanced at Liang Shanyu.
Liang Shanyu pursed her lips and dared not speak.
Whoever speaks at this time will be the first to be in trouble.
Seeing this scene, the old lady sneered and slammed the table: "You have come to me to beg for mercy, but you are still unwilling to tell the truth? Then go back!"
After saying that, the old lady stood up.
"Wait! Grandma! Dear grandma! Please save your grandson!" Huo Siyuan was pinched by Yu. He came to his senses and immediately knelt forward to pull the old lady's skirt.
The old lady looked down at Huo Siyuan, who was almost crying, and knew that this matter would not be so easy to solve.
"I'll give you one last chance, tell me everything!" The old lady was no longer as calm as before, but instead gave a warning.
Only then did Huo Siyuan tell everyone about the good things he had done.
Halfway through the old lady's hearing, she became unsteady and swayed, almost fainting.
The nanny quickly helped the old lady sit down.
"Don't get yourself hurt by being angry, old lady."
The old lady shook her head and angrily looked at Huo Siyuan, who dared not look up. "Unfilial son! Unfilial son! Go! Call this unfilial son's good father and let him see the good son he gave birth to! Now he wants to destroy our entire mansion!"
When Huo Hou heard the news, he was so scared that he almost ran away with his shoes.
Before he arrived, the voice reached the old lady's yard.
"You bastard! How dare you cause such a horrible disaster!"
Before Huo Siyuan could turn around, he was kicked over.
Liang Shanyu and Yu shrank back and quickly moved to the side.
"I'm going to beat you to death today, you evil creature! You'll never cause me any more trouble while you're alive! When the day comes when your entire family is executed, you'll be completely satisfied!"
