Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 16
"Mother, I don't know where Huaiyu went. I want to go back and find her... She is just a child, only 13 years old, and she doesn't understand anything. If you want to hate me, mother, you can hate me. A child cares about? I have lost all face, I just ask you to give Huaiyu a chance..."

Huo Mingzhu's eyes have completely changed, and her mentality is completely different from before. Her hearing has returned, and she listens mockingly to Lin Ruyi pleading with her grandmother in the room.

"Girl Huaiyu is from your Huo family. It has nothing to do with my old woman. She has a father, a mother, and a grandmother. The whole family protects her. My old woman is just an outsider. Tell the truth in our Lin family. Deliberately trying to get along with a little girl?" Mrs. Lin has always had a stubborn temper, and she was never willing to go along with anyone at will, and these words showed her deep prejudice against Lin Ruyi's mother and daughter.

Because she was weak since she was a child, Huo Mingzhu practiced martial arts with a master when she was in the border town. Her hearing is good, and she heard Sulu's voice from a distance: "Hey, I was still there just now, why didn't it disappear after a while?"

She looked back, and saw that Su Yu was holding the hand of a woman who was sweeping: "Nurse, have you seen our young lady?"

Sulu's voice has always been quite loud, and as soon as she finished speaking, Lin Ruyi and her grandmother in the room immediately stopped talking.This kind of scandal that insults the family style should naturally be revealed behind closed doors. Even though my grandmother has a lot of dissatisfaction with Lin Ruyi, it is the Lin family's business after all, and she has to keep this secret tightly.

Huo Mingzhu looked at the bushes where she was hiding. Although she was wearing a green skirt, it was not easy to be found, but if all the servants came back, they would always find her.She didn't want to break skin with Lin Ruyi directly at this moment, she wanted to make her suffer a hundred times of despair without knowing it, how could she expose herself so quickly?
Huo Mingzhu thought for a while, got out from the grass and trees in the corner, quietly climbed over the wall, tidied up her dress, walked in from the courtyard door again, deliberately took heavy steps, and groaned a few times.

Sulu and the woman Sasao both heard the movement and looked back.

"Miss! Are your feet hurting again? I told you not to run so far, your legs are not good, and you are chasing Second Miss again!" Su Yu hurriedly ran up to support her.

While Huo Mingzhu let her support her, she caught a glimpse of the curtain of the main room being opened a little from the corner of her eye. She sighed tiredly, "I don't know where Huaiyu went, but I didn't find her."

Su Hui frowned, and muttered strangely: "Miss, I was dazzled just now, I saw you entering the garden, but after catching up with you, I couldn't see you..." She then smiled and said: "No wonder, there are so many plants and trees in the garden. Madam has prepared another green skirt for you, of course I can easily take Cao Mu as a young lady!"

Huo Mingzhu smiled on the surface: "You are the only one who talks too much."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Ruyi stepped out of the threshold and saw that the curtain of the main room had been raised halfway, "Mingzhu, your foot hasn't recovered yet, mother really shouldn't let you go to Huaiyu. Let's go, let's go home Go, your father is going to the palace for a banquet, I have sent someone to deliver a letter, telling him to go to the imperial doctor to see for you, most of the medicines prescribed by the doctors outside the palace are not effective."

If Huo Mingzhu hadn't listened to the corner, she would have really thought that Lin Ruyi insisted on going back to the general's mansion because she was worried about her foot injury, but when she understood everything, this hypocritical attitude made her extremely disgusted.It was just to find her daughter, but she said it was because of her foot injury.
