Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 10
Huo Mingzhu didn't notice the prince's gaze, all she cared about was Baili Zonglu.When passing sideways, Baili Zonglu looked at her with a smile in his eyes, and when he got on his horse and chased Gong Huo who was far away, Huo Mingzhu still couldn't calm down——

When he was most in love, he would bend down from his horseback and kiss her lips, he would caress the corners of her eyes and say distressedly, my pearl suffers from eye diseases because of me, but you are still so beautiful, the whole world can be as beautiful as me Only you, Huo Mingzhu, have Shaoxiu as a companion.In this life, I will treasure you carefully, and I will not let the pearl be dusted...

"Miss, even though you say you don't care about the Ninth Prince, you can't help but look at him. Anyway, the Ninth Prince saved our lives. This life-saving grace is beyond heaven, and we have to repay him. " Su Yu sighed softly.

Hearing Su Ling's voice, Huo Mingzhu woke up from the memories of her previous life, sneered in her heart, life-saving grace?If Baili Zonglu saved her once, she would have to pay such a painful price, she would rather die by those assassins!There is nothing wrong with Baili Zong's law for wanting the throne. A man should have great ambitions, but he betrayed her heart, destroyed her mother's family, and destroyed all her beliefs and love, which is an unforgivable crime!

"Miss Huo, don't forget what you owe me..."

Baili Zonglu's joke is still in my ears, but Huo Mingzhu's heart is piercingly cold and her eyes are dimmed. Heh, she should say these words!Baili Zonglu, I am still alive, what you owed me in the previous life, I want you to repay it a hundred times and a thousand times in this life!If life is just like the first time you saw it, you will regret seeing me again in this life!
"Master Hou is rushing into the palace to face the saint. Let's go back to the General's Mansion first, and go to the Hou Mansion later to pay respects to our ancestors. We haven't seen each other for a year. I think our ancestors miss you very much." Looking at Huo Mingzhu, she smiled joyfully and said, "Miss, Madam and Second Miss have already come out to welcome you!"

Huo Mingzhu turned her head and looked out from the slightly raised curtain, and she saw a group of people standing in front of the general's mansion a hundred paces away, surrounded by servants and servants were her mother and sister.

"Well, although Miss lost her mother at a young age, she hasn't suffered too much in the family house. Although Madam is not Miss's biological mother, she is Master Hou's sister and Miss's aunt after all. The bones are broken and the tendons are connected. How can I not be nice to Miss? If I change someone else's house, I am afraid that Miss will suffer. Those aunts and aunts all want to kill the child of the former wife. The rumors in the streets are ugly. There are also people who look good, Mingli Well, it's a trick in the dark, tsk tsk..." Sulu couldn't stop talking, no matter whether Huo Mingzhu answered her or not, she just said her own.

After Huo Mingzhu heard this, her heart turned cold. In the past, she also thought like Su Yu, thinking that her aunt was her mother's concubine after all. She deserves this friendship.

But now that she has died once and thinks about it carefully, she doesn't remember what her aunt has done for her. Those delicacies and pastries that are rushed to the border town can easily make a girl happy, but they may not be able to see her sincerity.Although she did not see her aunt at the cheating wedding ceremony in her previous life, if her father and Huo Huaiyu had conspired together and said that her aunt didn't know what was going on, she would not believe it no matter how stupid she was.

When the carriage slowly stopped in front of the main gate of the General's Mansion, Huo Mingzhu stepped onto the flat ground with Sulu's support.

"Sister!" A childish and delicate call sounded, and then a girl in a pink chest-length skirt ran up to her happily and took her hand affectionately, "Sister, you are back! I and Mother misses you so much!"

Huo Mingzhu looked at the speaking mouth, saw the girl's clear face and innocent almond eyes, but remembered what her good sister Huo Huaiyu said to her before she was sealed in the sarcophagus that day.

"Sister, you don't know how hateful your father is. You clearly know that you are coming back today, but you are not allowed to go to the city gate to meet you. I am so anxious!" Walk.

"Mingzhu." The dignified and beautiful woman standing under the steps saw them approaching, and her almond eyes, which were exactly the same as Huo Huaiyu's, were filled with tears. She looked Huo Mingzhu up and down, and sighed softly: "It's better than the last time I went back home." I lost weight again."

She went up and held Huo Mingzhu's hand quite unbearably: "Don't leave again when you come back this time. The mansion is strangely deserted if you are not here. You are not in good health. Even if the border town can support people, it will still be difficult." It’s not as good as going to Beijing. Mingzhu, you’re lonely in the border town, come back and stay with your mother.”

What she said made Suli cry, and she had to say it sincerely, which moved those who heard it.

"Mother..." Huo Mingzhu also held the hand of his aunt Lin Ruyi, and called out with a smile, but his sister Huo Huaiyu interrupted all the words he hadn't said: "Oh, mother, I should be happy that my sister is back. Why are you so happy?" I only focus on crying to my sister, how uncomfortable is it for my sister? Let's go to the mansion to talk! Grandma is waiting for my sister!"

"Yes, it's the mother who shouldn't make your sister suffer..." Lin Ruyi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes again, and said with a smile: "My son Mingzhu, let's go with my mother to visit your grandmother, the old lady misses you very much too .”

Huo Mingzhu followed her obediently, and went to the old lady's yard with the support of Lin Ruyi and Huo Huaiyu.

Although the General's Mansion is large, it is not very lively. Many courtyards are empty. After entering the "Xiaocixuan", the woman in the courtyard shouted: "Old lady, Miss Mingzhu is back!"

The girl at the door opened the curtain for them, and when she entered, she found that the old lady was not very enthusiastic. She squinted her eyes and reclined on the chaise longue, while several older girls were beating her back and pinching her shoulders.

"Grandmother, Mingzhu greets you." Huo Mingzhu called softly, knelt down, and kowtowed three times according to the rules.

Mrs. Huo just opened her eyes slightly, and looked sideways at Huo Mingzhu: "Yeah. Are you back?"

The sound that came out of his nostrils did not have any joy when seeing his granddaughter come back.

"Yes." Huo Mingzhu knelt there, waiting for her grandmother to let her get up. Although her grandmother was not born in a noble family, she had always had a strong temper and would not allow anyone to disobey her.

Mrs. Huo stretched out her hand, and the eldest girl hurriedly handed her tea. During the time she was drinking tea, she never looked at Huo Mingzhu again, so blatantly showing her power.
