Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 43
Although Lin Ruyi had never heard of Yu Tong's permanent residence in the General's Mansion, Mrs. Huo personally agreed to it. Later, when it reached Lin Ruyi's ears, she couldn't say anything, let alone a poor relative. , who doesn't have one or two, she upholds the demeanor of Miss Lin's family and doesn't interfere too much.

Huo Huaiyu can't stand things, he has to talk to Lin Ruyi about everything before he understands.After dinner, she got into Lin Ruyi's room and asked, "Mother, what does the old lady mean by letting that Yu Tong live at home? Don't you think it's not lively enough with my granddaughter?"

Lin Ruyi was checking the account book sent by the accountant. At the beginning of each month, she had to clean up the accounts. While flipping the abacus in front of her, she replied, "Yu'er, what did mother teach you? Don't worry too much about these trivial matters, even if you No matter how long my cousin lives in your house, she is still your elder, and she will not hinder you when she gets married and has children, it's just that the old lady will give you an extra dowry."

Lin Ruyi said it so easily, Huo Huaiyu was naturally relieved, but she was not reconciled, she snuggled up to Lin Ruyi, hesitantly said: "But, I always find it strange that my sister never cares about things, but now If you just want to keep Biaogu at home, is it because you know that my mother and I, as well as the entire General's Mansion, don't like her, and want to form a clique and find a helper to deal with us?"

At such a young age, she speculated on everyone, including her own sister, with the deepest malice, obviously due to her upbringing.

Sure enough, Lin Ruyi didn't think that Huo Huaiyu's worry was absurd, she didn't even blame or complain, after pondering for a while, she took Huo Huaiyu's hand and said, "Don't worry, Yu'er, mother is here, who is in charge of this family. Who is in charge of these accounts, no one needs to be reminded, everyone knows clearly. Your sister is just a daughter, she has only learned martial arts, and she can't use knives and guns all day long. She is a weak woman in the boudoir, and she can turn the world upside down go?"

"...Well, what mother said is correct, but I still feel a little..." Huo Huaiyu pouted, and then he didn't know how to continue, and it took a long time to explain: "I always feel... something is not right, but it is I don't know what's wrong, anyway, I don't like my sister and Yu Tong living in the General's Mansion, and I don't like everyone's eyes on the two of them..."

Huo Huaiyu's complaints were purely childish. Lin Ruyi knew that her temper could come and go quickly, so she changed the subject and said, "Yu'er, I heard that you got a piece of warm jade. Is it a token from the Ninth Prince?"

Huo Huaiyu nodded, turned away angrily and said, "My sister gave it to me, I don't want to wear it..."

Lin Ruyi showed a smiling face, pulled Huo Huaiyu to sit down, blamed and pointed out: "Silly boy, you can't think like this. From ancient times to the present, whether it is an ancient thing or a rare treasure, the origin is not important... just Let’s talk about that piece of warm jade, who knows if it was pulled out from the mouth of a dead person, or someone dedicated it to the Ninth Prince? No one asked about its origin, only people asked who it belongs to now. Since your sister gave the warm jade If it is given to you, it is yours, so you don't have to feel unhappy. On the contrary, you have to seize this opportunity to get closer to the Ninth Prince. With the jade pendant, you still have to worry about not being able to talk to him? If you can get a good result, your anger and injustice caused by this jade pendant will not be in vain."

Lin Ruyi's words made Huo Huaiyu suddenly enlightened. She said that she didn't care or wanted it, but her body was very honest. She had already hung Nuanyu around her waist.At this time, he took off his purse and showed it to Lin Ruyi: "Mother, when do you think I will see the Ninth Prince again? I think the Ninth Prince is very considerate to my sister, and may not be half as good to me... I I know the principle of attacking first, but if that person doesn't come, no matter how many methods I have, I won't be able to use it."

Lin Ruyi took her Nuanyu casually, her tentacles were warm and her temperament was gentle, totally unremarkable. It can be seen that the Ninth Prince was really generous in his actions. To give such a treasure to a daughter in a boudoir, he really had other thoughts .

Just as he was about to teach Huo Huaiyu, he suddenly heard the announcement from the girl outside: "Madam, Miss Yu and Miss Yu are here."

Huo Huaiyu hurriedly looked out, stomped his feet in dissatisfaction and coquettishly said: "Mother, look, we don't go to them, they come here by themselves, don't you bother me! I've seen enough with the old lady during the day, I don't want to See her again."

The "she" Huo Huaiyu mentioned naturally refers to Yu Tong.

Lin Ruyi covered her mouth, showing a reproachful look, but prevented her from slipping in front of others, and said to the girl: "Let the young lady and Biaogu Yu come in."

Huo Mingzhu and Yu Tong didn't get along very well, but in this family, Yu Tong and Huo Mingzhu were the closest. When Huo Mingzhu proposed to come to Lin Ruyi and Huo Zhengde's residence "Caiyixuan", Yu Tong Tong followed.Her days of being dependent on others are about to begin, her cousin's Mrs. Xu Xianlin is taking care of the general's mansion, she has to come and get close to her, no matter what, there will always be a time to meet in the future...
