Chapter 141
evening
In order to avenge her previous humiliation, Luo Chaoyan forced Huo An to play chess with her.
Huo An did not despise his mother for being bad at chess and patiently accompanied her.
But when he saw Fengli bringing in a bowl of medicine, he was afraid that she would force him to drink it as well, so he ran away in a panic.
Luo Chaoyan was speechless when she saw his running back. She wouldn't force him to drink. At most she would just tease him. Is that so serious? She is not such a childish person!
She looked at Fengli in a flattering manner and said, "Fengli, I'm fine too. Can I not take the medicine?"
Fengli shook her head firmly, staring at her, and said, "Young Madam, Madam said that you were frightened during the day. You must drink this tranquilizer."
Pineapple had already guessed that she would not take the medicine obediently, so she kept repeating what she had just said.
Luo Chaoyan was annoyed by her nagging and had no choice but to finish the whole bowl.
She wiped the corner of her lips and said, "Pineapple, you have changed."
Fengli smiled and said, "Young Madam, has Fengli become smarter?" This trick was told to her by Young Master Rui. It turns out that the person who knows you best is your enemy. But fortunately, the two of them really reconciled. Thinking about the quarrels between the two of them these days, it feels like a lifetime ago.
Luo Chaoyan looked at her seriously and said, "Fengli, are you itchy?"
Fengli chuckled and was about to say something when she saw Huo Jin come in. She hurriedly saluted, then picked up the medicine and walked out.
Seeing Huo Jin's obvious surprise, Luo Chaoyan asked, "My dear?"
"Ayan, I'm sorry!" Marrying me has caused you so much criticism and hurt.
Luo Chaoyan knew what he wanted to say, and waved her hand and said, "My dear, it's all jealousy between women. I've seen too much of it. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Huo Jin held her in his arms, thinking of something, with a cold expression, he said: "I will give you an explanation."
The next day
At the morning court session, Master Huo, who had always been impartial, attacked the prince's party for the first time.
In particular, officials who had close relations with Marquis Gu, such as the Xie and He families, were not only impeached for corruption, bribery, and selling official titles, but the evidence was also solid.
The officials involved didn't even have a chance to argue.
Looking at the evidence of guilt, Emperor Qing was furious and issued an edict to exile those who should be exiled, imprison those who should be imprisoned, and confiscate the property of those who should be confiscated.
This made the hair on the court officials stand on end. For the first time, I realized that Master Huo, who was always gentle, also had thunderous means.
Some people suspect that Master Huo is trying to vent his anger on behalf of his daughter-in-law?
The prince was filled with hatred when he saw that many of his own ministers had been killed in a short time. Is this old fellow, Master Huo, declaring war on him?
King Huai's party were secretly delighted, as with the intervention of Tutor Huo, they could save themselves a lot of trouble.
After the morning meeting
The prince then pulled Marquis Gu aside to talk.
"Father-in-law, what is going on? Why is Master Huo targeting us?" the prince asked with gritted teeth.
Marquis Gu cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, this may not just be Master Huo's intention."
The prince was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Father-in-law means... Father?"
Gu Hou nodded slightly. Originally, he despised the Huo family for openly confronting them for the sake of a daughter-in-law, but after seeing His Majesty's handling of the matter, he understood that this was also His Majesty's intention. It seemed that His Majesty wanted to settle accounts.
The prince was so angry that he kicked the wall and said, "Could it be that father wants to depose me as the crown prince?"
Seeing that he couldn't keep his temper, Gu Hou frowned and said, "Your Highness, please be careful with your words."
The prince exhaled lightly and said, "Father-in-law, what should we do now?"
Gu Hou frowned and thought for a while, then said gloomily: "There is no way back. If we want to move forward, we can only..."
When the prince saw him raise his hand, he immediately understood.
…
Luo Mansion
Three-room courtyard
Luo Guanqing told his wife what happened in the morning court today.
Yin was a little surprised and asked, "My dear, are you saying that the Huo family is willing to offend the prince's party in order to vent their anger for Ayan?"
Luo Guanqing said: "Half and half!"
"Your Majesty is obviously dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's party. Ayan's matter is also an opportunity. It is just right for Master Huo to purge Marquis Gu's followers and give Ayan some vent. It's perfect!"
Yin smiled and said, "In that case, our Ayan can be considered to have married into a good family."
Luo Guanqing nodded, then hummed softly, "My A-Yan is not bad either."
"Besides, if it weren't for Huo Jin's handsome face that attracted so many peach blossoms, our Ayan wouldn't have to suffer so much."
this? It seems to be true!
Rakushinin
Yin Miaoshan and Xia Yu are still struggling for the wedding dress in their hands.
Chunyue came in with a wooden box in her hand and said with a smile, "Girl, look what this is?"
Xia Yu stopped sewing and asked, "Is this from Master Su?"
Haruzuki nodded.
Xia Yu smiled and looked at Yin Miaoshan, saying, "Girl, this Mr. Su is really infatuated with you. It hasn't been long since you got engaged to him, and he sends you things from time to time."
"Yeah!" Chunyue agreed.
Yin Miaoshan was also speechless about this. She didn't know what Su Yi was thinking. He kept sending her things, and her warehouse was almost full.
She opened the wooden box and saw a pair of exquisite knights and knight-errant women inside, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
Chun Yue looked at the exquisite puppet and couldn't help but praise it: "It's really beautiful."
Xia Yu nodded in agreement. Seeing that there was a letter in the box, he took it out and handed it to her, saying, "Miss, there is another letter."
Yin Miaoshan nodded.
When she finished reading, Chunyue and Xiayu noticed that her face was slightly red, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.
Yin Miaoshan cleared her throat and said, "Today is the Qixi Festival. There will be fireworks in the East Market tonight. Let's go watch the fireworks."
evening
Huo Mansion
The whole family had dinner in Mrs. Huo's yard.
Old Madam Huo couldn't help feeling happy as she looked at the happy family.
She raised her glass and said, "Come, I hope our family will be happy and prosperous."
Master Huo was worried and said, "Mother, you are not fit to drink alcohol. You should drink tea instead."
Madam Huo glared at him and said, "It's rare to be happy today, it's okay to drink a little."
Seeing that her attitude was irresistible, Master Huo had no choice but to give up.
"Come!"
"cheers!"
Huo Rui and Huo An were children so they naturally couldn't drink alcohol, but at their request, they drank watermelon juice.
Only after Mrs. Huo started to eat did everyone start to eat.
Luo Chaoyan first picked up some good meat for the elders, and then set her sights on her favorite roast chicken legs.
When Huo Rui saw that she had picked up the last chicken leg, he quickly reached out his chopsticks to grab it.
Luo Chaoyan didn't expect that the chicken leg she had in her hand could be snatched away by him. She looked at Huo Jin and said, "My dear, your son is unfilial!"
As she said this, she picked up the chicken leg again.
Huo Rui was also unconvinced and said to Mrs. Huo: "Grandma, your daughter-in-law doesn't know how to love children!"
Old Madam Huo and Mrs. Huo have expressed numbness about this.
Huo An raised his eyes to look at the two of them, snatched it away when they weren't paying attention, and started to bite it.
Huo Rui and Luo Chaoyan looked at each other. There was still someone who could get a bargain!
After dinner
Huo Jin took Luo Chaoyan's hand and left the yard of Mrs. Huo's house.
"Today is Chinese Valentine's Day, shall we go watch the fireworks?"
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "Great! I haven't seen the fireworks in Kyoto yet."
At this time Huo An and Huo Rui ran over and said, "Let's go too!"
Huo Jin frowned and said, "Have you memorized your lessons?"
Huo Rui and Huo An pursed their lips, and their father would use this trick.
Huo An looked at Luo Chaoyan expectantly, "Mother!" As long as his mother was willing to take them there, his father wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
Mrs. Huo came over and said with a smile, "If they want to go, take them there."
Luo Chaoyan's heart softened when she saw Huo An's pitiful eyes, and she said, "I know, mother!"
Huo Jin frowned. They were going to watch the fireworks as a couple, so why did they bring two people who were in the way?
