Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 25 Miss Yu
Lin Ruyi's complexion changed slightly, but she still patted Huo Mingzhu's hand in reverse and said, "Good boy, your mother has taken care of you, but you just went back to the general's mansion, and you were frightened by assassins on the way. The most urgent thing now is to take care of your body and wait for the Jiji ceremony with peace of mind, that will be your big day."

Worried that Huo Mingzhu would bring it up again, Lin Ruyi simply blocked her words: "Don't worry about mother, it has become a habit for mother to manage the general's mansion by herself these years, so don't worry."

"In that case, I will have to trouble my mother a lot." After listening to Lin Ruyi's words, Huo Mingzhu complied obediently and docilely, and she was in a good mood.Although she didn't want to make Lin Ruyi feel better, she never thought of taking over the trivial matters of the general's mansion to find trouble for herself. Just spend more time.

Anyway, as the daughter of a boudoir, she shouldn't be as worried as Lin Ruyi, she was happy to watch the excitement.Every day is just to pay respects to grandmother and Lin Ruyi on time, and to do the duty of the eldest daughter well. The rest of the time, I learn how to learn swords to take care of my body, and occasionally I have to deal with Huo Huaiyu's impromptu whims.

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month later, two days before Huo Mingzhu's birthday, all the guests from the Huo family lived in the General's Mansion, and the two aunts who married far away in the south also came. The General's Mansion has never It was so lively that even the voices were noisy.

As a junior, Huo Mingzhu stood obediently aside, watching her grandmother holding the hands of the two daughters calmly and greeting her, she shed tears at the emotional point, she smiled lightly.

"Sister, look at that lady, is she born dignified and beautiful?" Huo Huaiyu suddenly took Huo Mingzhu's hand, whispered in her ear, and pointed to a woman not far away for Huo Mingzhu to look at.

Huo Mingzhu looked over at the woman, about eighteen or nineteen years old, she was with a middle-aged woman, and there was a shrewd look between her brows.

Seeing Huo Mingzhu looking at her, the woman happened to look over and nodded to Huo Mingzhu.

Huo Mingzhu also smiled at her, completely obedient.

Turning around, she pretended to be ignorant and asked Huo Huaiyu: "Yu'er, do you know whose daughter that lady is? She looks about the same age as me, why don't we go over and say hello?"

Huo Huaiyu has always competed with Huo Mingzhu in everything, especially when it comes to these sophistication of the world, and has never been a little bit behind. Hearing Huo Mingzhu's instigation, she immediately took the lead and dragged Huo Mingzhu to the woman .

It happened that Lin Ruyi was also there, so Huo Huaiyu asked with a sweet smile: "Mother, I told my sister just now that this sister is really beautiful, and I want to come over to get to know each other, but I don't know what to call her..."

Lin Ruyi didn't know much about these relatives of the Huo family, but Mrs. Huo had introduced them one by one just now. She was the mistress of the Huo family, so she had to remember them all.Hearing Huo Huaiyu's question, Lin Ruyi shook the young lady's hand, angrily but helplessly said: "Yu'er, where is this elder sister? This is your grandmother's niece, your cousin, my sister It is."

Huo Huaiyu was extremely surprised, and quickly stammered and changed his words: "Ah, cousin! Forgive Huaiyu for being ignorant, a big joke happened recently! Cousin is really about the same age as my sister."

Huo Mingzhu also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, I didn't expect my cousin to be so young, we two juniors are rude."

At this moment, the cousin Miss Yu finally spoke up: "Where is it? We are all a family. I should be a few years older than you. I am nineteen this year. Don't call me cousin I'm a bit unfamiliar, why not call my name Yu Tong."

"What does this sound like? There's no reason to call my cousin by name. No matter how ignorant the two children are, they should be polite. Tong'er, don't spoil these two juniors." Lin Ruyi has always been exquisite, and she speaks eloquently. It doesn't leak water, and it's enough to save face.

"Cousin, don't be so polite. I came with my father and mother to visit my aunt. I wanted to show my filial piety. The two families have not seen each other for a long time. My father and aunt still miss each other. Look, how happy we were chatting." Yu Although Tong is young, his speech and behavior are quite sophisticated.

Afterwards, Yu Tong's mother, Yu Tong's wife, Mrs. Sun, chatted with Lin Ruyi, and the room was full of joy.Huo Mingzhu stared at Yu Tong and her mother's clothes, and she became more convinced of her previous thoughts.

She had waited for so long, but God finally did not disappoint her.She remembered that in the Ji Ji ceremony in the previous life, the cousin, uncle and other relatives of the Yu family all came to the door, but in this life she encouraged her grandmother to invite the Huo family's clan to come again.She knew that her grandmother, the Yu family, had always protected her weaknesses and held grudges, so how could there be any reason to invite only the Huo family members and not the Yu family?

Judging from Yu Tong and her mother's clothes, I don't know when they were old styles. Nowadays, narrow sleeves are popular in Shanghai, but Yu Tong and her mother's clothes are very wide, and even the embroidery patterns are very old. Apparently, the Yu family didn't ascend to heaven just because Huo Zhengde worshiped the general.

In her previous life, by chance, Huo Mingzhu heard Lin Ruyi complaining to her father Huo Zhengde about Yu Tong's presumptuousness, and that she planned to live in the mansion for a long time... Huo Mingzhu understood her grandmother's meaning at that time. There is no male, and Lin Ruyi can't give birth, so why can't she take a concubine?Then Yu Tong's family was in a worrying situation, if he could get closer to the general's mansion, it would be in line with his grandmother's wishes.

But how stupid she was in her previous life, she was only thinking about Lin Ruyi, so she discussed with Lin Ruyi and Huo Huaiyu, and made a plan to drive Yu Tong out of the general's mansion, and change her whole life for Lin Ruyi, which probably made her father Huo Zhengde suffer because of this. She hated her, but she didn't know it.

In this life, she is a person who is unpredictable and prophetic. She will never make the same mistakes again, and she will definitely put on a good show.

"Where is it? Third, when your elder brother was still around, I thought, one day our first wife will be successful, isn't that what it is? Your third wife is not bad, and the business is doing well, isn't it?"

Huo Mingzhu followed the prestige and saw her grandmother Yu was chatting to several guests of Huo's third bedroom, her words were full of complacency and arrogance that she didn't want to hide. I don't dare to say a word back, but it really fulfilled my grandmother's dream for a long time...

Huo Mingzhu stood at the center of the hustle and bustle, the corners of her lips raised slightly.
