Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 24
Lin Ruyi is ill, and she, Huo Mingzhu, walks freely in the mansion alone, how can she rest assured?What's more, after the scene in the ancestral hall last night, is there no ghost in Lin Ruyi's mind?It makes sense to send someone to monitor their whereabouts.

It may not be that no one was Lin Ruyi's eyeliner in her previous life, it's just that she, Huo Mingzhu, is dull and has only been aware of it until now.

However, Huo Mingzhu didn't point out that she didn't do anything beyond the rules, but she said a few words to her grandmother, why would she feel guilty?

Therefore, when faced with Su Ling's doubts, Huo Mingzhu smiled comfortably: "You are too unfamiliar with the General's Mansion, what's so strange about a few people walking by in the dark? Then you became a different person, you girl, you must have been frightened too, right?"

"No, miss, I..." Su Hui frowned and argued, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Huo Mingzhu patted her on the head and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, go back, the medicine in the kitchen is probably ready, you should drink some..."

Su Hui was dragged back to Chenxiang Garden by Huo Mingzhu, she was always careless, after seeing Huo Mingzhu's explanation, she didn't take it to heart, and hurriedly made arrangements for Huo Mingzhu in the mansion, for fear that she would suffer a little loss.

The door of the boudoir was closed, and Huo Mingzhu sat on the edge of the bed alone, and found out the emerald green hairpin from last night from under the pillow, the workmanship of this hairpin must be extraordinary.

The man in black said that he stole it from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Huo Mingzhu kept an eye out today and asked people to inquire quietly, but she didn't hear that the Prime Minister's Mansion had lost anything. It's as simple as that, he was just talking nonsense when she caught him.

Huo Mingzhu pondered for a while while holding the hairpin, then stood up suddenly, looked around, saw no one was around, she jumped up to the beam, and hid the green hairpin on the beam in the cracks.Jumping down again, she patted Kong Kong's hands, and she felt a little more at ease.

No matter who the man in black is, she will not leave any excuses in his hands. Since the encounter last night, since she did not catch it, she will not admit it. If the man in black uses a hairpin to frame her, she will It's easy to deal with.

Life at every step is not easy, for Huo Mingzhu, it is the same for Lin Ruyi.Probably because she heard that Huo Mingzhu went to Mrs. Huo's place for a while, and chatted for a few words, Lin Ruyi got up from the hospital bed the next day, and took care of family affairs as usual, dragging her sick body Come to "Chenxiangyuan" to visit Huo Mingzhu, so that the general's mansion can't find the slightest mistake.

"Why did mother wake up? Are you feeling better?" Huo Mingzhu heard Lin Ruyi's footsteps early in the morning, but pretended not to know. When she saw Lin Ruyi's person, Huo Mingzhu greeted in feigned surprise.

Although Lin Ruyi's expression was a bit haggard, her smile was still gentle and virtuous, and she replied, "It's much better. After all, I'm also the mistress of this family, and Mingzhu, you are about to reach Ji, and many things about Ji Ji's ceremony have not been completed yet." The arrangement is proper, your father is busy with official duties, and your grandmother is old, so it's not easy for the old man to worry about it, so naturally I should do it."

Huo Mingzhu smiled inwardly, even on such an occasion, Lin Ruyi still had to take advantage of it, and pushed the reason for her so hard work to her wedding ceremony. In her previous life, her soft heart would have been given to Lin Ruyi. Inspired, he was busy pouring out his heart and soul to Lin Ruyi.But now that she knew the truth, she watched Lin Ruyi's dramas coldly, just listening to them as a joke.

However, Huo Mingzhu was still perfunctory on the surface, and took the initiative to hold Lin Ruyi's hand rather guiltily, and said distressedly: "Mother, it's all Mingzhu's fault, it makes you worry, and you will not be safe when you are sick... If mother I'm really too busy, so I might as well ask Mingzhu to help you, it's really too tiring for my mother to handle all the big and small affairs of the house."
