Chapter 372 The Ancient Mother-In-Law Who Was Cannon Fodder (8)

After all, Huo Tong came from the Duke's Mansion, so he still couldn't help but think about his natal family's reputation.

She looked at her husband and asked, "Then what should we do? How can we voluntarily withdraw from the engagement?"

"If the matter of Huo Jiwen and Shi Lingqiao is revealed, I don't know what others will think of the Duke's Mansion."

Qiao Mingxuan knew his wife's thoughts and scruples.

To be honest, although he hated Huo Jiwen, he couldn't express his anger towards the Duke's Mansion.

Several of the Dukes died in battle, and the battlefield was full of heroes. His mother-in-law and the current wife of the Duke are also more reasonable and friendly.

"Show the information you have found to Mrs. Guo, and ask her for her opinion."

If it was him, he would definitely use this incident to cause a voluntary divorce, embarrassing those two shameless people.

But after much deliberation, I still have to be more or less concerned about the Duke's Mansion.

Huo Tong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow to find my sister-in-law."

Then let people go to the government office to deliver the post.

Qiao Mingxuan suddenly remembered something, "By the way, remember to remind Madam tomorrow that the Shi family is secretly close to the fourth prince."

"To be precise, that Shi Lingqiao and the fourth prince often have contact in private. The relationship between the two seems to be not simple."

"I have some doubts. Shi Lingqiao was arranged by the fourth prince to deliberately seduce Huo Jiwen. After all, because of his mother's being sent to the frontier, he and the imperial concubine have always regarded me as a thorn in their side."

When the servant of the household department was assigned, the imperial concubine and the fourth prince were forced to keep a low profile with their tails between their legs, and that's why they hated him so much.

"Snatching Yue'er's fiancé away is also a form of revenge."

"Anyway, if the prince is involved, you can't be careless."

It is very likely that the Duke's Mansion accidentally participated in the seizure of the heir apparent.

This incident was also accidentally discovered by his staff Zha Shilingqiao when he passed by, which shocked him.

But he didn't forgive Huo Jiwen because of this, after all, a slap can't be slapped.

If Huo Jiwen had his daughter in his heart and had determination, he wouldn't be seduced, and insisted on arguing to quit the engagement and marry a business girl.

Thanks to Mrs. Guo for reminding me about this matter.

So they have to repay and remind them that Mrs. Guo is still a favored princess with a special status, and she is likely to be dragged into the whirlpool of seizing the heirloom by Huo Jiwen's son.

The fourth prince is narrow-minded and cruel, and like his grandfather, he only cares about power and does not care about the safety of the people. He is definitely not a good candidate for the future heir to the throne.

And if the fourth prince is allowed to take over, their family will definitely be the first batch to suffer revenge and purge.

Huo Tong was born in the Duke's Mansion, so he naturally knew the result of falling into the throne.

Her complexion changed, and she felt more resentment towards her nephew, "Huo Jiwen is such a jerk, this is killing the entire Duke's mansion!"

"I'll remind my sister-in-law tomorrow."

The fate of her natal family is also closely related to her, and the Duke's Mansion must not be put in that kind of danger, being schemed against by the Fourth Prince and that woman.

Speaking of that woman, she felt even more disgusted. While seducing her nephew, she was still ambiguous with the fourth prince. She was just being watery and shameless.

Qiao Mingxuan reminded, "If you go to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow and meet Huo Jiwen, don't mention these things."

"If Huo Jiwen is in the madam's yard, then you can send him away."

If Huo Jiwen knew that they were investigating this matter, Shi Lingqiao and the fourth prince would probably know about it too.

It's better not to startle the snake.

Huo Tong nodded, "Well, I understand."

Guogong Mansion.

Qingyou was not surprised to receive the post from Huo Tong, and she knew roughly that the other party wanted to ask her what she meant.

She looked at the post and curled her lips, a good show was about to be staged.

The next day, Huo Tong came to the Duke's mansion by himself.

When I entered the door, I saw my sister-in-law and nephew sitting in the room, but both of them looked unhappy.

Qingyou saw Huo Tong coming in, smiled and waved to her, "You're here, come and sit."

Huo Jiwen greeted with a smile, "Auntie!"

Huo Tong resisted the urge to question Huo Jiwen, looked at him and said, "Shouldn't you be in the Imperial College at this point?"

Huo Jiwen said embarrassingly, "I'm not feeling well today, so I asked for leave."

Qingyou snorted coldly, "You were so angry when you contradicted me just now, I didn't see any discomfort in your body."

The char siew bun came here on its own initiative just now, and she pushed him a few words, and he was upset again.

But this time, he didn't shake his sleeves and leave like before, but continued to sit angrily.

It means that the barbecued pork buns are also waiting for Huo Tong to come over.

It seems that there are people with barbecued pork buns in her yard, and he just knew about it yesterday when someone sent a post.

Huo Tong heard what his sister-in-law said, and said to Huo Jiwen displeased: "You are really getting worse and worse, how can you contradict your mother?"

Huo Jiwen didn't expect his mother-in-law to lose face in front of his aunt, he had a bad face, "I didn't."

Qingyou raised her eyebrows, "So, my own mother wronged you?"

Huo Jiwen: "..." Is this impossible?

He said unhappily: "Mom, how can you do this?"

Qingyou waved her hands in disgust, "I don't want to see you, you go out."

Huo Jiwen wanted to hear what his aunt was doing here, but he always felt that it had something to do with his desire to divorce.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for his mother to go to Qiao's house only two days ago, and today my aunt came home again.

So he said: "I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, I will sit with her for a while."

Huo Tong is a smart person, so he can tell that his nephew's words are insincere.

Why she had to stay, she had a guess.

She waved her hand, "I want to talk to my sister-in-law about women's personal matters, so I don't need you to accompany me."

Qingyou looked at Huo Jiwen and said, "I, a mother, can't order you around, and your aunt doesn't want you to accompany me, so you can go now?"

She deliberately put pork buns on Huo Tong's eyes.

"Let's go!" Huo Jiwen got up angrily and left after his mother didn't show him face in front of his aunt.

But before leaving, he winked at a maid in the room.

This scene was discovered by Qingyou.

Qingyou also knew who had a problem, and she had discovered that this girl had an adulterous face before, so she originally thought of finding a reason to get rid of it later.

It seems that a lot of news from the original meeting was passed on to Shi Lingqiao by this servant girl.

It's no wonder that Shi Lingqiao knew exactly what the original body was going to do several times, and came to make calculations.

Huo Jiwen left angrily, Huo Tong frowned even deeper.

This nephew is really getting more and more outrageous and rude.

She turned her head and saw that her sister-in-law had an ugly face, so she persuaded, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, and teach me well in the future."

Qingyou took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, "This bastard not only contradicts me, but now he can't even command him, how can he expect him in the future."

Huo Tong was relieved again, but because of this, he became even more dissatisfied with his nephew.

After sitting for a while, she said, "Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you."

Qingyou told the maids in the room: "You all go down."

The maid didn't really want to go out, but she didn't dare to violate it.

Qingyou waited for the maids to go out, and said to Nanny Qi: "Pretend you are going out to do some business, and observe secretly to see if anyone is hiding and eavesdropping."

"If there is, take the mother-in-law and arrest him immediately."

Nanny Qi was startled at first, but soon understood what Madam meant.

She nodded: "Okay!"

Then he went out and closed the door.

The maidservant who left the room blinked when she saw this, and pretended to pick up a broom to sweep around, and slowly approached the door of the room.
