Chapter 221: You Should Know How to Keep a Low Profile
After saying that, she raised her cloak and turned to go into the house.
Just as Ma Kui entered the main courtyard, Zhu Shu immediately went to the old lady's courtyard according to Liang Moyuan's previous instructions.
Without waiting to catch the person in the act, or waiting for Ma Kui's confession, Zhu Shu directly told the old lady that it was the second house that did it.
"Our young lady and her husband have already suppressed the Second House's actions once for the sake of the Marquis's reputation. If the Second House still refuses to repent, our young lady has said that she doesn't mind going to their house and beating drums to announce what happened tonight to the world and to His Majesty."
After Zhu Shu finished speaking to Liang Moyuan, he returned to the main courtyard to report to Liang Moyuan.
At this moment, judging by the time, the old lady should have gone to the courtyard of the second house.
Today, the old lady has warned the second house. If they dare to take action again, she will definitely not let it go so easily.
Coupled with Liang Moyuan's blunt warning, the second branch will definitely not be able to escape easily today.
Liang Moyuan sat next to Huo Jinjian, looking at his increasingly thin face, her jade-like clear eyes revealing a hint of worry and forbearance.
Inside the second courtyard, Yu and Huo Siyuan were still waiting for the man named Ma Kui to come back and report.
But Ma Kui did not arrive. Instead, the old lady who came to demand an explanation and the furious Marquis Huo came.
The old lady had already told Lord Huo about the matter, and she also asked him a question.
"Jin Jian is dead, do you think Siyuan can withstand the Marquis' Mansion?"
Huo Hou felt a chill down his spine, realizing the seriousness of the matter, and was filled with rage.
"My Lord, why are you here..." Yu gave Huo Siyuan a look.
Seeing that the person coming had bad intentions, Huo Siyuan decided to avoid him.
Just as Yu was about to step forward, Marquis Huo raised his leg and kicked her.
"Bitch! Who gave you the guts to attack Jin Jian?"
Yu was kicked to the ground. When she heard what Marquis Huo said, she blinked and burst into tears of grievance.
"Wuwuwu, Master, I, I didn't do it." She always pretended to be weak like this, which always made Marquis Huo soften his heart and show him pity.
But Marquis Huo also knew what happened today. If Huo Jinjian was really killed, the entire Marquisate would have no hope from then on.
His face turned dark and he slapped Yu hard in the face.
Yu was knocked to the ground, covering her face with her hands, her hanging hair hiding the emotions in her eyes.
Huo Siyuan sneaked to the door and was about to leave when a person was thrown in front of him.
"Ah!" Huo Siyuan screamed in fright.
Lan Shu clapped his hands and bowed to the old lady, Marquis Huo and the others who were looking over, saying, "This is someone from the second house. Our girl asked me to return him."
Looking at Ma Kui's bloody and burnt hand, Huo Siyuan fell to the ground in fear.
“This this this—”
Lan Shu only looked at the old lady: "Since the old lady is here, I will not disturb you any longer."
Seeing Lan Shu leave, the old lady raised her hand.
She pointed at Yu and said in a cold tone, "From today on, you will never leave the Second House courtyard again. I will have the nanny next to me slap you five times a day and make you copy scriptures every day until you are truly obedient."
Yu shook her head in horror and crawled to the side of Marquis Huo using her hands and feet.
She tugged at the hem of Marquis Huo's clothes and pleaded, "My Lord, I know I was wrong. Please persuade the old lady to forgive me this time!"
Seeing Yu's tearful and pitiful appearance, Marquis Huo hesitated.
He looked at the old lady.
Because from the beginning to the end, Huo Jin saw that nothing really happened, and even though Marquis Huo knew that Yu had done something wrong, he couldn't bear to really blame her.
"Mother……"
When the old lady heard Marquis Huo speak, she glared at him.
"If you can't see the situation clearly, you can only wait to be killed by her!" The old lady gritted her teeth, looking very disappointed in her.
Marquis Huo was speechless.
The old lady walked up to Yu.
"This is my last warning to you. If you attempt to attack Jin Jian again, you will sign the divorce agreement and get out of the mansion!"
The old lady's words made Yu miserable and the blood drained from her face.
"You can see if I can say it and do it!" The old lady said this and turned away.
Marquis Huo glanced at Yu, then at the old lady's back, sighed heavily, and turned around to chase after her.
After the old lady and the others left, Yu let out a scream of unwillingness.
She must get rid of Huo Jinjian and Liang Moyuan!
Huo Siyuan helped Yu stand up.
"Mom... let's not mess with Big Brother and the others these days..."
Yu's eyes were vicious, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Lan Shu returned to the main courtyard to report, saying that he had returned the person to the second courtyard.
He also told Lady Liang Moyuan about the punishment she had imposed on Yu.
"If she still wants to live, she should know how to behave herself."
Liang Moyuan snorted coldly and turned back to the house.
Behind the light gauze curtains, a figure sways.
Liang Moyuan sat in front of Huo Jinjian's bed and fed him the medicine she had just boiled bit by bit.
Seeing Huo Jinjian's face slowly turning from pale to red, the frown between Liang Moyuan's brows finally relaxed a little.
She turned around to put the medicine bowl away, and Huo Jin beside her suddenly sat up.
“Cough cough cough!”
He began to cough violently and almost vomited blood.
Liang Moyuan was shocked and immediately patted Huo Jinjian on the back to calm him down.
After a while, Huo Jin saw that everything had quieted down.
Liang Moyuan's heart was beating fast. She turned her head away in fear and called out softly, "Jin Jian?"
