Chapter 79
After the morning meeting
Master Huo walked outside the palace gate and was about to get on his own carriage when he heard someone calling him from behind.
"Master Huo!"
Master Huo turned around and saw that it was Lord Gu who was walking towards him hurriedly, so he asked, "Lord Gu, what's the matter?"
Marquis Gu smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. I just heard from the women in my family yesterday that I bumped into the old lady at Xiangsulou yesterday. So I thought of preparing some generous gifts to go to her house to apologize to her."
Master Huo was a little surprised. He only heard his wife say that his mother, daughter-in-law and grandson went out to see a play yesterday, but she didn't mention anything about encountering the Gu family. Could it be that there was some dispute? But given my mother's overbearing personality, I don't think she will suffer any loss.
He collected his thoughts and said calmly, "Lord Gu, there is no need to be like this. My mother is always kind to the younger generation and will not take these things to heart."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Gu gritted his teeth secretly. After seeing his grandson's face swollen like a pig's head yesterday and hearing that his grandson was beaten like this by the boy from the Huo family, he almost fainted from anger. He wondered when his Gu family had ever suffered such a loss. He was angry at his grandson for not living up to his expectations, and he hated the Huo family for being ruthless. Thinking of the prince's future plans, he could only swallow his anger for the time being.
"Although the old lady is generous, she still needs to observe the proper manners as a junior," said Marquis Gu.
Having been immersed in officialdom for many years, how could Master Huo not know that he was just speaking for show? He just wanted to take the opportunity to come to your house and make people mistakenly think that they are very close friends. So he found a reason to politely refuse.
Marquis Gu looked at his departing back, his eyes filled with coldness. Humph, you don't know what's good for you! Sooner or later, he will make the Huo family pay.
After Master Huo returned home, he went to the old lady's yard. When I arrived, I saw my wife and daughter-in-law were there. So I asked about what happened yesterday.
Madam Huo glared at Luo Chaoyan and said, "You say."
Luo Chaoyan touched her nose and told the story of Huo An's extremely "heroic" deeds yesterday.
Upon hearing this, Master Huo and Madam Huo were both stunned. this! Why does my grandson's fighting posture look like that of a street shrew?
Luo Chaoyan coughed lightly and said, "Father, mother, the young master of the Gu family has really gone too far. An An took action just to protest against injustice." When you see injustice, you should speak out! Of course, the most important thing is to protect food.
Mrs. Huo looked at her reproachfully, but said nothing. There is no doubt that the grandson must have learned this fighting behavior from his daughter-in-law. But never show cowardice when faced with difficulties, ahem! It can barely be considered a good character.
Huo An straightened his body, patted his chest, and said seriously: "I... am a hero!" His mother said that, although he didn't quite understand what it meant.
Everyone was amused by his serious expression.
evening
At dinner time, Luo Chaoyan had no appetite because she had a sore throat, so she could only watch Huo Rui and Huo An take away her favorite roast chicken legs.
Huo Rui was delighted when he saw her open her eyes and look at the chicken in their hands. He raised the chicken and took a big bite. Then he said with a look of enjoyment, "It's delicious!"
Seeing that there was only a bowl of vegetable porridge in front of his mother, Huo An secretly covered his mouth and took a sip. Finally, mother could only eat vegetable porridge and finally stopped fighting with him for chicken legs.
Luo Chaoyan gave the two brothers a cold look, then maliciously wanted to put some dishes they didn't like into their bowls. But they both picked up their small bowls in unison. He looked at her warily.
Well, it seems that drug checks are too extreme, and we all know to be on guard.
Seeing that she stopped moving, Huo An started eating again with peace of mind, but he saw that his father actually picked up a vegetable for him.
He looked at the vegetables in the bowl, his face wrinkled suddenly, and he looked up at his father with an accusing look.
Huo Rui shook his head gently, silly brother, you are still too careless. He finally realized that his father and stepmother were from the same country.
study
Huo Jin was busy with government affairs with a focused look on his face.
Yue Li stood outside the door, looked at her clothes, and after seeing that she was no longer single, she took a few deep breaths and walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup.
"Master!"
Huo Jin raised his eyes and saw Yue Li, frowning and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yue Li looked up at him, her face slightly flushed, and then she walked briskly to him with the ginseng in her hand, saying, "Master, you have been busy with government affairs lately, and I thought of making you a bowl of ginseng soup."
Huo Jin looked at the tray in her hand and said indifferently, "Put it down."
After Yueli brought the ginseng soup and placed it on the desk, she looked at him lovingly. She wanted to raise her hand to put it on his shoulder but was pushed away.
Huo Jin stood up, his eyes slightly cold, and said, "Get out!"
"Master!" Yue Li felt so wronged when she saw his frosty face that she couldn't help but shed tears. She looked at him with resentment.
“Someone come!”
Two stewards hurried over to the door and saw Yue Li's eyes filled with tears. What? Does this girl not want to live anymore? What the Huo family hates most is the restlessness of their maids.
Huo Jin looked at her coldly and said, "The Huo family doesn't need restless people. You can't stay in the Huo family anymore."
Upon hearing this, Yue Li staggered a few steps, and felt a darkness before her eyes. She quickly knelt down and begged, "Master, I just want to serve you, please don't chase me away, please..."
Huo Jin looked stern and said to the steward, "Lock her up in the woodshed and let the young lady deal with her tomorrow."
Yue Li felt heartbroken and almost collapsed. She said, "Master, I really want to serve you. The young lady is not sincere to you. Look at me, I am the only one who is sincere to you..."
Huo Jin raised his hand and signaled the two managers to take the person away.
Yue Li was dragged away in a panic. In desperation, her eyes had a bit of madness, and she shouted, "Master, the young lady doesn't want to have your child at all. She has never been attentive to you at all."
Huo Jin's face was full of frost. "Stop her mouth."
The two managers quickly reached out and covered Yue Li's mouth.
“Mmm…”
Huo Jin's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "You have no right to comment on what the young lady does. Watch your mouth, otherwise... I will make sure you never speak again."
Yue Li felt her hair stand on end when she heard this, and tears of fear rolled down her eyes. She made the wrong bet after all.
Huo Jin looked at the two managers solemnly and said, "I don't think I need to tell you what to say and what not to say."
The two stewards nodded, and at his wave of the hand, they carefully took Yue Li out.
Huo Jin sat at his desk, tapping the table lightly with his fingertips, lost in thought.
When he met her for the first time that day, she was frank about not wanting children for the time being. At that time, he thought that there were already two children in the house, so if she didn't want to, he would do as she wished. Originally, marrying him was forced by the Huo family. .
But now, they are different...
