Chapter 83 Grandma Huo is so reliable
The elder of the Huo clan suddenly widened his eyes and pointed at Mrs. Huo: "You...you...why do you do this?"
Madam Huo said calmly, "It's just my family's money. I can do whatever I want with it. Since my husband's promise has been fulfilled, why can't I do the same?"
The head of the Huo clan said angrily: "You are a woman, what right do you have to be the master of General Huo? His last name is Huo, and he is a member of our Huo family!"
It seemed as if Old Madam Huo was determined to make things clear with them today, and every word she spoke was merciless.
"Yes, my husband's last name is Huo, but he had already separated from you when he left home to join the army. The separation document is still in your house. It also has your fingerprints on it. Would you like to take it out and have a look?"
Mr. Huo looked at Mr. Huo and said, "I think you should still remember the reason why we split up the family. If you hadn't lost all the money in the family through gambling and had no money to buy a place in the army, would your eldest brother have been forced to join the army?
If there is a good life to live, who would choose to join the army and risk death?
Later, your eldest brother fought hard in the frontier and became a general after countless life-and-death struggles. After he had made great achievements, you came to the capital again and said that you were family.
I didn't say these things before because of your eldest brother's face.
Since you were the ones who did things so ruthlessly first, why should I give you some respect?
Do you really think that I am so old and am made of dough that I can be manipulated by you? ! ”
Old Madam Huo spoke with great vigor, and every word she said was powerful and full of aura, making it impossible to refute her.
The Huo family was frightened. They seemed to have just realized at this moment that the reason why Old Madam Huo had been so talkative for so many years was because she had no worries and there was nothing worthy of her concern, so she just took it lightly.
But when she helped General Huo to fight for the embezzled military pay, she also carried a butcher knife on her waist and went to the official's house alone to fight.
Now that she has grandchildren to care about again, how can she be as easy to talk to as before?
Chief Huo, who had lost more than he gained, finally regretted his decision.
If he had known this earlier, he would have followed Huo Lao Er to make trouble. Otherwise, he could have received two thousand taels of silver every year. Why would he do this?
Huo Lao Er pointed at Madam Huo angrily and said, "Don't go too far!"
Old Madam Huo just looked at him indifferently, as if she was looking at a stray dog that could only rage helplessly. She felt neither sad nor happy, just complete contempt.
Xiaohui and Xiaocong were a little shocked when they saw Grandma Huo like this.
It was the first time for them to see someone so strong, who was so powerful without being intimidating, and who could solve problems easily with just a little effort.
They still protect their elders, which really gives them a sense of security!
The Huo family was finally "invited" out by the servants of the general's mansion.
Madam Huo looked back and saw Wen Ling who had been beside her the whole time. She said embarrassedly, "You see, that's what happened. They would come here to make trouble every few months before, and I couldn't just kick them out at that time.
This time I have solved all the problems at once, and I am sorry to have embarrassed you. ”
Wen Ling gave Madam Huo a thumbs up: "This is not a family scandal. The old lady is very capable and handled it very well. This courage is worthy of being the wife of General Huo!"
Old Madam Huo laughed heartily.
She personally escorted Wen Ling and the others to the gate.
She was reluctant to leave Xiaohui and Xiaocong, but she still chose to respect them. She touched their heads and said, "I will come to pick you up after I find out the truth of what happened back then."
Then they were sent off to the carriage.
In the carriage, Xiao Cong couldn't help but say to Xiao Hui, "I think Grandma Huo is very nice. She is a very decent person. She wouldn't raise a heartless man who abandons his wife and children. Maybe there really was some misunderstanding back then."
Xiao Hui pursed her lips and said, "If it is really a misunderstanding, then we will go to our mother's grave and make things clear, and ask the Huo family to give our mother a name. If they are willing, then we will go back.
If it wasn't a misunderstanding, then I would just treat her as Grandma Huo and a relative. ”
Wen Ling listened to their discussion quietly without saying anything.
She had done what she could do, and the rest was their own choice.
Seeing that Wen Ling had remained silent, Xiao Hui asked cautiously, "Sister A Ling, what do you think?"
Wen Ling spread his hands: "Why do I feel that it is not important? What is important is the truth. It only takes one day to travel from Dongzhou to the capital. I guess we can find out the result in the next few days.
Anyway, I think Mrs. Huo is an upright person and she will definitely not fabricate false results. ”
Xiaohui and Xiaocong also agree with this point.
No matter what, Grandma Huo is a good person, and they can all feel it.
As soon as they returned to the palace, they saw Gu Chenran standing at the door waiting for them to come back.
After entering the palace and closing the door, Gu Chenran stood up from the wheelchair, straightened Wen Ling's dress very naturally and asked, "How was it, did you have a good time in the general's mansion today?"
Wen Ling nodded: "It went quite smoothly. Xiaohui and Xiaocong are the biological grandchildren of the eldest young master of the general's mansion. Madam Huo even invited us to have a meal."
Gu Chenran asked casually, "Is the lunch at the General's Mansion delicious? Is it as delicious as the one at home?"
"It's delicious!" Wen Ling's expression was extremely pious when talking about food. "It's noodles from the Northwest. The chef is from the Northwest and is an expert at making noodles. I ate four roujiamo, three bowls of noodles and two plates of roasted lamb!"
Gu Chenran: “…” Wow, he ate so much!
He originally wanted to say that next time if he couldn't get used to the food outside he could just go home and eat, but now he couldn't even bring himself to ask that question.
The words on his lips turned into: "Then we should hire a few Northwest chefs someday."
Wen Ling waved her hand: "No need, we already have five chefs in our family, if we hire a few more, we can hardly afford them."
Gu Chenran pursed her lips and said, "No, as long as you like it, then we will hire you. I can still afford to hire a few cooks. I must ensure that you can eat whatever you want whenever you go home."
Seeing Gu Chenran so serious, Wen Ling was even relieved: "I knew you were a kind person who would repay kindness!"
Gu Chenran: “…Ah?”
Shouldn't I say with emotion that you are so nice to me?
What's the logic behind saying that he is a good person who knows how to repay kindness?
Wen Ling said to Xiao Hui and Xiao Cong, "Then you can continue to live in the palace for the next few days. You don't have to go to work. There is not much work for you to do in the palace. Just wait for the news from Madam Huo's investigation."
Xiaohui and Xiaocong nodded obediently, said goodbye, and prepared to go back to their own yard.
After what happened today, the two siblings had a lot of private things they wanted to say in private.
Gu Chenran saw that Wen Ling's mind was on the brother and sister, and suddenly asked: "Why are you still living in our house now that you have known each other? Will it cause you any trouble?"
Xiaohui and Xiaocong paused for a moment, then tacitly quickened their pace and left.
They didn’t know if it was their illusion, but they always felt as if Gu Chenran disliked them for being in the way!
