Seeing the backs of the two people changing faces and leaving, Huo Jiwen and Shi Lingqiao had the urge to go up and tear them apart.

After they disappeared, Shi Lingqiao's eyes turned red.

This time she provoked directly, "Husband, is it because you are not the son of the world that your brother-in-law gave me power when he came here?"

Originally, it was the first time he saw Huo Xi, and he still thought that this person was good-looking and had a good temperament, so he should be good.

It's a pity to think about getting a bad reputation with the wicked mother-in-law.

But now she felt that this unmanly man was the most hateful, and she must make them look good.

Hearing this, Huo Jiwen said to Shi Ling with a calm face, "That's enough, let's go back."

Without waiting for Shi Lingqiao to finish speaking, she took the lead and walked towards her yard.

Didn't he know that Huo Xi deliberately gave him a blow?
After losing the position of the eldest son, Huo Xi wanted to ride on his head to do his best.

The key is that his mother is still pampering Huo Xi.

But it's one thing to know, and another thing to be told. Is he shameless?
Shi Lingqiao didn't expect him to throw face at her, and was very upset.

But he didn't lose his temper, but quickly chased after him.

In the Duke's Mansion, the only one she can rely on is Huo Jiwen, and she has to hold him tight.

On the other side, Qingyou's yard.

After she sat down with Huo Xi, she asked the maid to make tea.

Qingyou asked, "Is your injury healed?"

Huo Xi was stunned, and gave her a comforting smile, "I just got a little injury on my arm, it's nothing serious."

Qingyou let the others go out, leaving only Nanny Qi.

She and Huo Xi are not real mother and child, and it's not appropriate to be in the same room alone.

Nanny Qi has been brainwashed by her to the point that she will only stand by her side now.

She looked at Huo Xi with a sorry face and said: "I asked the emperor to investigate the matter of your being intercepted and killed. The people on his side found out that Ji Wen asked the fourth prince to do it."

"I didn't expect that, just because there is an undetermined successor to the Duke's Mansion, he would ask someone to kill the uncle who grew up with him since he was a child."

She picked up the veil and wiped the corners of her eyes, "I didn't teach him well."

Huo Xi was stunned again, apparently he didn't expect his sister-in-law to tell him the truth directly.

With a warm heart, he comforted, "How can you blame sister-in-law for this?"

"He is also imitating others now, he must be on the edge of a dead end."

Qingyou shook her head, "You don't need to make excuses for him, he is just so cruel, in his eyes, family affection is nothing compared to that woman and power."

"I have been so disappointed in him that I am cold-hearted, and I no longer have any hopes and expectations."

Huo Xi could tell that his sister-in-law was really cold-hearted towards her nephew, and she didn't know what to say to comfort her for a while.

He thought for a while and said solemnly: "Sister-in-law, I was raised by you, and I will take care of you filially in the future."

Huo Jiwen can't be relied on, but his sister-in-law can rely on him.

Qingyou's face was full of relief, "Even if you don't take the initiative to say it, I'm going to rely on you to support me when I grow old."

She said earnestly and earnestly: "Your brother handed over the Duke's Mansion to me before he left, so I can't let his and the father-in-law's blood be shed in vain, and I must protect the Duke's Mansion for them."…

"Ji Wen's recent actions have made him blind, disloyal, righteous and filial, embarrassing and embarrassing."

"That's why I've already made an agreement with the emperor, after the examination is over, I will make you the heir of the Duke's Mansion."

Huo Xi is a smart person, so she doesn't need to go around in circles.

Huo Xi didn't expect his sister-in-law to say this so bluntly.

He was not hypocritical, "I never thought of being the heir of the Duke's Mansion, but now, whether it's for my sister-in-law or the Duke's Mansion, I am willing to take on this responsibility and burden."

Qingyou stretched out her hand and patted Huo Xi's shoulder, "I knew it, you won't let me down."

"Recently, you don't need to think too much, just prepare for the battle and try."

Then she got up and took out a token and a booklet that she had prepared a long time ago, and handed them to Huo Xi.

"This is the secret guard transfer order left by your elder brother, as well as some arrangements of the Duke's Mansion. I will leave it to you now."

Giving these things to Huo Xi now will also give him more ability to protect himself.

Qingyou said again: "I hope you don't have to keep a low profile for me anymore, and you can do whatever you want in the future."

"I will be your most solid backing."

Huo Xi took the badge and booklet, and felt that these things weighed a thousand catties.

At the same time, it also carries the expectations and intentions of his sister-in-law for him.

He nodded, "I won't let my sister-in-law down."

After sitting for a while, Qingyou asked Huo Xi to go back to the yard to rest first, and come over for dinner together in the evening.

At the same time, Huo Xi also asked the servant girl to take away all the tribute tea given by the emperor.

It's autumn now, and the exam is in spring, also known as "Chunwei". There are still a few months to go, and then Huo Xi calms down and reads a book in the yard.

Huo Jiwen didn't move for the time being.

However, Shi Lingqiao did a lot of things in private, and kept in touch with the Fourth Prince frequently.

In addition, Shi Lingqiao would come to the yard to pay her respects almost every day, even if Qingyou deliberately tormented her in different ways every day, Shi Lingqiao could bear it.

The more this is the case, the more certain Qingyou is that the other party is going to make trouble.

Three months later.

Qingyou keeps letting the hidden guards given to her by the emperor keep an eye on Shi Lingqiao.

On this day, the secret guard came to report that Shi Lingqiao secretly bribed the maid in her yard.

At present, one second-class maid and two third-class maids have been bought.

He also asked the fourth prince to find out about the nanny and maidservants in her yard, and even contacted Nanny Qi's distant nephew.

A young servant and a first-class servant girl serving in Huo Xi's courtyard have also been captured by Shi Lingqiao.

Shi Lingqiao asked the person who bought her to pay attention to her and Huo Xi's movements from time to time.

The first-class maid beside Qingyou even came to her that day and told her that Shi Lingqiao had taken hold of her natal brother and wanted to coerce her into bribery.

Qingyou felt that Shi Lingqiao's actions did not seem to be directly drugging her, but to deal with her and Huo Xi together.

In order to lure the snake out of the cave, Qingyou asked the maid to pretend to be bribed.

At the same time, they also invited Huo Tong and Qiao Xinyue to go to Zhuangzi in the suburbs to play, so as to make space for Shi Lingqiao to play.

A few days later, Qingyou and Huo Tong's mother and daughter left the city to play in the Zhuangzi in the suburbs, and planned to stay for a few days.

Shi Lingqiao was very happy when she found out, and felt that her chance had come, so she frequently went to the Green Pomelo Yard for activities.

the other side.

After playing on Zhuangzi for two days, Qingyou was dragged by Huo Tong's mother and daughter to hunt.

Most of the aristocratic women in the capital are good at riding and archery, and they organize hunting every year.

Qingyou always felt that something would happen, so she didn't refuse.

Then the three of them chased a deer and gradually moved away from the forest near Zhuangzi.

Suddenly, Qingyou felt a familiar wave of mental power, and surprise appeared in her eyes.

And at this moment, a roe deer appeared not far away.

Qingyou said to Huo Tong and the two: "You guys go after the deer, and I'll go after the roe deer."

Huo Tong and the two also saw the roe deer and nodded, "Okay!"

Because they are protected by guards and hidden guards, they don't have to worry about danger.

Qingyou draws the bow and shoots the arrow, deliberately shoots the wrong way to scare the roe deer, and runs away in the direction she perceives.

She quickly chased after him on horseback, shooting sideways non-stop.

Then the roe deer was forced to rush down the hill, and the fluctuation of mental power became more and more obvious, so Qingyou quickly chased after him on horseback.
