Chapter 109
After Huo An left, Huo Jin asked someone to prepare toiletries for both of them.
After Luo Chaoyan came out of the bathroom, she saw Huo Jin had finished washing. He was wearing white pajamas and leaning against the head of the bed reading a book. When he saw her come out, he put down the book and said, "It's late, go to bed."
Luo Chaoyan nodded and walked towards him.
The two of them were lying on the bed, and Luo Chaoyan thought he would do something, cough cough! After all, they haven't been close for some time. I waited for a long time but he didn't make any move. Could he have fallen asleep? She turned her head to look at him and saw that he had closed his eyes. Was he really asleep?
Okay! I don’t know what I feel in my heart, regret? Cough cough! It seems a little. But this guy would never stop torturing people, and she was a little scared.
"Can't sleep?"
A familiar cold voice came.
Luo Chaoyan coughed lightly and said, "No!"
"Are you going to court tomorrow?"
Huo Jin hummed.
Luo Chaoyan said: "Then when you go back tomorrow, bring some watermelons back for grandma and the others to try."
Huo Jin still nodded.
Luo Chaoyan blinked and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Huo Jin suddenly raised his hand across her waist, pulled her into his arms, and said, "I can't sleep."
Luo Chaoyan could feel his hands constantly contracting and his breathing getting louder and louder. She deliberately said, "My dear, you still have to go to court tomorrow."
Huo Jin raised his eyes to look at her and said, "I can get up early."
This is too hateful.
Just as Luo Chaoyan was about to retort, Huo Jin kissed her on the lips. He kissed her until she was dizzy, but in the end she still couldn't escape the fate of being eaten clean. Of course, she would never admit that she enjoyed it a bit.

Pilgrimage to the Temple
Master Huo stepped out of the official ranks, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Emperor Qing raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"
Master Huo then told the story of Manager Li and others at the farm who were lending money for profit.
"Although I didn't know about this, the steward is a member of your palace. Over the years, I didn't notice his plot, which caused the farmers to suffer greatly. I am very ashamed. I ask Your Majesty to punish me!"
In fact, when the Huo family guards brought the prisoner to the yamen, some people with connections were able to find out what happened. This matter is neither big nor small. However, it was somewhat surprising that Master Huo would bring this matter to light and confess his crime in front of all the officials.
Marquis Gu gritted his teeth. He originally wanted to let his subordinates use this incident to impeach him, or at least charge him with the crime of negligence. But now that he took the initiative to file a complaint, they couldn't say anything. Otherwise, Your Majesty would accuse them of deliberately attacking others, and in the end the gain would outweigh the loss.
Emperor Qing looked at the officials below and said, "My dear ministers, how do you think I should punish Lord Huo?"
"this?"
Some of the officials below were unsure of what he meant. After all, it was unquestionable that Tutor Huo was deeply trusted by His Majesty.
King Huai came out and said, "Father, I think that although Master Huo made some mistakes, they are understandable."
The Crown Prince also stepped forward and echoed, "Father, I also think that Master Huo's behavior is understandable."
Emperor Qing looked at his two sons with an indifferent expression and said, "Although the circumstances are excusable, the fault must be punished. I will fine Huo Qing half a year's salary."
Master Huo bowed his hands and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Huo Family Academy
When Huo Rui walked into the school holding a big watermelon, Huo Shun and others were very excited.
"Boss, where did the watermelon come from?" Huo Shun asked greedily.
Huo Yu asked, "Did your mother send it?"
Huo Rui nodded.
Huo Ze said: "Boss, the wife is so nice!"
Huo Rui coughed lightly and asked, "How are your performance preparations going?"
Huo Shun and Huo Ze smiled and said, "Don't worry, Boss, we are ready."
Huo Rui looked at Huo Yu, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about you?"
Huo Yu didn't know why he didn't want him to be too proud, so he said, "I haven't thought about it yet!"
"You don't want the gift anymore?" Huo Rui said with a proud smile.
Huo Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Just once."
Huo Rui was secretly delighted in his heart, humph, can't I trick you once more?
Two days later
Madam Huo asked people to pack up and leave for Lotus Manor.
Huo Rui and others were extremely excited sitting in the carriage.
They haven't been out to play for a long time. Ever since the eldest brother started learning martial arts, he has been studying very hard, forcing them to follow suit, otherwise their family will nag them when they return.
"Boss, what will we encounter this time? A tiger?" Huo Shun said heartlessly.
Huo Rui and Huo Yu rolled their eyes at him and said, "Aren't you afraid of becoming a tiger's meal?"
Huo Shun chuckled and said, "It's just a joke."
An hour later, the carriage arrived at Lianzhuang.
Luo Chaoyan and the little fat boy were still dozing under the pomegranate tree. When she heard the maids say that the old lady was coming, she straightened herself up quickly and walked to the door to greet her like a lady from a noble family.
"Grandma, mother!"
Luo Chaoyan struggled to squeeze out some sobs to express her longing for the two elderly people. She wanted to go forward to support the old lady, but she saw Huo An behind her, walked past her, walked up to her grandson, and said lovingly, "An An, my great-grandmother's good grandson!"
"Great-grandmother!" Huo An bowed to her obediently.
Luo Chaoyan was stunned. Was she expressing the wrong feelings? Cough cough! Even though it's just acting, you should at least give some face.
Mrs. Huo walked up to her, raised her hand, and said with a smile, "Ayan, thank you for your hard work."
Luo Chaoyan knew that her mother-in-law wanted to talk about the punishment of Manager Li, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, mother? It is my responsibility as a daughter-in-law to help the mansion punish the evil slaves and rescue the people, and to promote the upright tradition of our Huo family." Oh, she even admired herself for what she said.
Mrs. Huo nodded and said, "Well said, Ayan, after Xiaorui's birthday party, you can go back home and start learning how to be a housekeeper from me."
Luo Chaoyan looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly, so how could there be a bolt from the blue?
Is this what is called showing off too much?
When Huo Rui heard the conversation between his grandmother and stepmother, he couldn't help laughing.
Luo Chaoyan glared at him, then smiled at Madam Huo and said, "Mother, you've been in the carriage all the way, you must be tired, why don't you go in and take a rest? Your daughter-in-law has prepared some drinks, I'm sure you will like them."
Mrs. Huo thought there was no need to rush into this matter, so she smiled and nodded.
Huo Shun and the others looked at Luo Chaoyan eagerly and saluted, "Madam!"
Luo Chaoyan was a little frightened by their eager eyes and asked, "What are you doing?"
Huo Yu coughed lightly and said, "I heard that you gave us..."
"Mother, I heard that the birthday party you held for me was interesting, so I invited them to come and broaden their horizons." Huo Rui quickly interrupted Huo Yu.
Luo Chaoyan blinked, looked at Huo Rui, then looked at Huo Yu. What tricks were these two naughty kids playing?
