Chapter 209 I Love Him But He Can't Compare to Reputation
But Liang Moyuan was different from before. She didn't show any humility as a daughter-in-law. She just looked at Huo Hou with an indifferent expression.
Looking at Huo Hou, I felt guilty.
Under the dim light, Liang Moyuan's facial features were still distinct, revealing a bit of majesty and unquestionable attitude.
"Father, since you came this evening, you must understand the seriousness of this matter. My husband has already written a petition and will present it to His Majesty at the court tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, Huo Hou's beard trembled: "He dares!"
When Liang Moyuan heard this, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, the curve was like a sickle taking life, and her eyelids were half drooped, just covering the light in her eyes.
The look of him gazing with his eyes downcast was like that of a statue of a god.
"My husband has done nothing wrong, so why shouldn't he dare?" Liang Moyuan's voice echoed throughout the front hall.
These words made Huo Hou's heart tremble.
I remembered what the old lady said before I left.
"It was originally Huo Siyuan's fault. If you're asking for help, you should act like one. The first wife's family is no pushover, so don't act like a superior."
No matter how much anger you have, you have to swallow it down.
Huo Hou forced a smile.
"Huo Siyuan just had the wrong idea. The old lady and I have already severely punished him. Jin Jian is his brother and he has the same father, so he will definitely not kill him."
Liang Moyuan narrowed her eyes, as if she had heard a funny joke.
Her throat was rolling up and down, and she stepped forward to question, word by word, "When Huo Siyuan was plotting to frame my husband, did he ever consider that they were brothers?"
Huo Hou was speechless.
It seems that this time, persuasion with family affection is absolutely useless. Marquis Huo can only give up the position of crown prince as requested by the old lady.
"This time, Huo Siyuan has let Jin Jian down. With his character, he is not worthy of being a prince."
As he spoke, Huo Hou glanced at Liang Moyuan tentatively.
But Liang Moyuan didn't feel happy at all when she heard about the position of the crown prince, and her expression remained indifferent.
He could only continue speaking.
"So today, in addition to bringing that beast to apologize to Jin Jian, I also told Jin Jian that tomorrow I will report to His Majesty that the title of Marquis's Crown Prince can only be inherited by Jin Jian."
Liang Moyuan stared at Huo Hou and laughed. The laugh was pleasant, crisp and pleasant, but the smile did not reach her clear eyes.
"Dad, what you mean is to protect Huo Siyuan?" Liang Moyuan pointed out the reason why Huo Hou was so willing to give up.
Her tone and expression were no longer as calm as at the beginning, but were tinged with anger.
But Marquis Huo only cared about the glory of the Marquisate and nodded repeatedly.
"This matter concerns the reputation of the entire Marquisate. Not only me, but also the old lady will protect Huo Siyuan."
Even though she knew this, Liang Moyuan couldn't help but feel sad for Huo Jin.
The old lady loved him, but she loved the reputation of the Marquisate even more.
Huo Hou valued him, but he valued his own glory even more.
As for the others, they framed, plotted, and exploited...
Looking at Huo Hou in front of him, Liang Moyuan's eyes were full of sad mockery.
She knew that this matter would not be reported to the emperor, but no one in front of her or outside the courtyard felt truly sorry for Huo Jinjian.
Regardless of her status, Liang Moyuan would never feel injustice towards Huo Jin.
But the silence Huo Jin just saw had already told Liang Moyuan his choice.
Huo Jin saw that he was a filial son, and that the matter must be reported to the emperor with all his might. As long as the prince was willing to help, Huo Siyuan would not be able to punish him.
Thinking of this, Liang Moyuan calmed herself down.
Now that things have come to this, let them suffer a little more.
Liang Moyuan waved her sleeves and left a message: "In that case, let them kneel until dawn. If my husband goes out for the morning court tomorrow and one of the people from the Second House is missing, please ask Dad to go and explain to His Majesty in person."
After saying that, she turned around and left without even giving Huo Hou a glance.
As for those from the second house, if possible, Liang Moyuan would like to make them kneel at the door of the Marquis' Mansion.
Let everyone in the world see what they are.
Returning to the room, Liang Moyuan saw Huo Jinjian sitting beside the bed. His eyes, which were always full of changeable emotions, suddenly showed no emotion at all.
Liang Moyuan didn't know how much of her previous conversation with Huo Hou had been heard by Huo Jin.
She walked over, sat next to him, and picked out some news to tell him.
"My dear, my father said that tomorrow morning he will tell His Majesty that you will inherit the throne of the Crown Prince. The people from the Second House are kneeling at the gate of our courtyard right now. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Seeing this, Huo Jin shook his head, not giving Liang Moyuan a chance to speak, and turned over to lie down.
He had never been like this before.
Liang Moyuan looked at his back and for a moment, she didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only turn around and extinguish the candle.
The room fell into darkness.
In the silence, Liang Moyuan vaguely heard Huo Jinjian let out a long breath.
Whether he was disappointed or relieved, only he knew.
The next morning, Liang Moyuan escorted Huo Jin out of the courtyard.
Huo Siyuan, Liang Shanyu and Yu were still kneeling there.
Servants walked by them from time to time, and the looks they gave them were no less than slapping them in the face.
This is a real shame for the second wife and others as the masters.
Seeing Liang Moyuan and the others coming, Yu perked up and watched them walk past her with eager eyes, without even looking at them.
"Sister-in-law, didn't you say that we just need to kneel until brother wakes up?" Huo Siyuan spoke in a frivolous tone, he really couldn't get angry anymore.
