Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 71

Situ Tiannan frowned, he was tall and handsome, he could be regarded as a dragon and phoenix among men, but when he saw Miss Mingzhu just now, he didn't dare to look directly for too long, lest he would look down on the beauty.Hearing Situ Yue'er's conjecture, Situ Tiannan was not quite sure, so he could only say: "Yue'er, I don't know what Miss Mingzhu thinks, but you are thinking about her in a sinister way, maybe she has been wronged. We have never seen her twice, nor have we seen her being courteous to the crown prince, so we can only make a conclusion after a long time."

"Brother, you are such an elm-headed man! I can't tell you clearly! Will you die if you coax me!" Situ Yue'er flicked her sleeves, not wanting to explain to him again, pouted, and turned towards the sedan chair parked not far away Rushed, "I'm going home! I'll tell Mom!"

"Oh, Yue'er..." Situ Tiannan called her, but she didn't turn her head back. He sighed, deeply feeling the horror of a woman, such love makes her petty, and when he gets married in the future, he might cause troubles.

……

Let's say that Huo Mingzhu and Huo Huaiyu took the same carriage back to the General's Mansion. In the carriage, Huo Huaiyu's face was extremely ugly, and he leaned against the wall of the carriage and sulked.

How could Huo Mingzhu not know what she was angry about?But if it was her own thinking, she would definitely not explain it to Huo Huaiyu.However, at this moment, she was in a hurry, and she also wanted to make Huo Huaiyu more angry, so she lightly reprimanded: "Yu'er, what you said to your cousin just now was a bit too much, after all, she is an elder and a guest." , if the old lady finds out, she will definitely be angry."

It's okay not to mention Yu Tong, but when Yu Tong was mentioned, Huo Huaiyu found a place to vent his anger, turned his head and said relentlessly: "Sister! You are really used to being a good person, and you only came back for a few days, and your whole heart is gone." I'm leaning towards my cousin! So what if the old lady knows? The old lady is my grandmother, she loves me the most! Will you be angry with me because of an outsider! Sister, you are so confused!"

Huo Huaiyu became impatient and roared loudly, all the bearers and maids heard it, Huo Mingzhu glanced at the sedan chair through the curtain, and smiled inwardly, but her face turned pale: "Yu Son, my sister is also doing it for your own good..."

Huo Huaiyu was most annoyed to see Huo Mingzhu's kind face, her arrogant temper, she would not listen to anyone's words, and hummed: "If my sister is really for my own good, then just follow me from now on, I won't be afraid of offending you. Who, just say what you have, I am not happy, why do you want to accommodate an outsider?!"

"Yu'er..." Huo Mingzhu still wanted to save her, but Huo Huaiyu had made up her mind, raised her hand to block it, and raised her eyebrows arrogantly: "If my sister really loves me, she won't leave me to find the Ninth Prince in Huguo Temple today. My sister knows that I have reverence for the Ninth Prince, but she refuses to let me talk to the Ninth Prince, and she doesn't even see the Ninth Prince's back! I don't want this piece of warm jade! If I take it, my sister will be very distressed Come on!"

As he said that, Huo Huaiyu untied the warm jade around his waist, and threw it into Huo Mingzhu's arms. This tone was not coquettish, it was clearly sarcastic.

Huo Mingzhu held the piece of warm jade in her hand, and her palms became hot after a while. She remembered Baili Zonglu's explanation in the Huguo Temple, saying that this warm jade is a treasure in the world, and it can cure cold poison. She absolutely has no intention of giving beautiful jade to a beautiful woman, let alone a gift for Huo Huaiyu because of the attachment.

Although Huo Mingzhu no longer believed in Baili Zonglu's nonsense, but thinking of this explanation, he still felt quite refreshed.Huo Huaiyu, this little slut, is quite complacent, she doesn't know where her confidence comes from, she thinks that everyone should let her please her.If it was necessary to trap her in injustice, how could she, Huo Mingzhu, give her this warm jade?

Smash it, swallow it piece by piece, and it won't give a little slut!

"Yu'er, I swear, I have never thought about it like this. You saw that the Ninth Prince took me away in the morning, and I still can't control myself, so how can I control the Ninth Prince? I never took the initiative to find the Ninth Prince..." Huo Mingzhu lowered her head, holding the piece of warm jade in her hand, and explained very sadly.

"My sister means that the Ninth Prince loves my sister, so I gave it as a gift with warm jade? My sister is unparalleled in the world, so even if I don't take the initiative to find the Ninth Prince, I can still let the Ninth Prince. My sister's return really opened my eyes!" Huo Huaiyu's anger had reached its peak, and those jealousy and dissatisfaction erupted at the same time, the more he imagined the Ninth Prince's hospitality to Huo Mingzhu, the more he remembered the Ninth Prince's reaction when he saw her wearing warm jade. Scary eyes.

"I figured it out, my sister kindly gave me the Nuanyu because she wanted to see how the Ninth Prince would punish me for the crime of seizing the jade?" Huo Huaiyu sneered, his childish face was completely ferocious.

"Yu'er, what are you..." Huo Mingzhu raised her head in disbelief, her eyes were filled with tears.

At this time, a voice came from outside the carriage: "Miss, we're here."

As soon as the words fell, the carriage stopped slowly.

Huo Huaiyu glanced at Huo Mingzhu, and saw that she was holding the piece of warm jade in her hand, and was staring at her painfully. She didn't want to bow her head, so she vigorously opened the curtain, and jumped out of the carriage with the support of the girl Ci'er, without turning her head. Back to the gate of the general's mansion.

Huo Mingzhu smiled slightly when the curtain was lowered, and when Sulu came to help her, she found her hands were icy cold and said in shock: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Why are you so cold?"

Huo Mingzhu got off the carriage, just as Yu Tong also got off the sedan chair, the two looked at each other, Huo Mingzhu had tears in his eyes, and smiled bitterly silently.

Yu Tong also responded with a similar wry smile.

If it is said that before Huo Mingzhu was standing and talking without pain in her back, and pretending to be a good person in everyone's eyes, Huo Huaiyu's tantrum this time could be regarded as doing her a big favor.The most important thing is not how the maids and servants view Huo Huaiyu's arrogance, but to let Yu Tong see how little her Huo Mingzhu has in this family. Even the young sister can question and yell at her. Compared with Tong Tong, an outsider who lives under the fence, he doesn't seem to be much better.

"Cousin, Yu'er is ignorant, and she said some serious things because she was young and outspoken, so don't take it to heart." Huo Mingzhu also helped Huo Huaiyu explain.

Yu Tong's resentment towards Huo Huaiyu would not spread on Huo Mingzhu from now on, instead she took Huo Mingzhu's other cold hand, sighed and said, "Mingzhu, thanks to having you here."

Huo Mingzhu naturally wouldn't say anything more, Huo Huaiyu said she was wrong, and blamed Yu Tong for all kinds of bad things, she could only pretend to swallow her stomach, blinked away the tears in her eyes, and suggested with a smile: "cousin Don't say that, we are all a family, don't see outsiders. The old lady said that I will go with you when you go back and tell her about the temple fair."

"Okay." Yu Tong nodded.

The two entered Xiaocixuan hand in hand. Mrs. Huo was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch with her eyes closed, and the maids were holding her body. Seeing them coming in, Madam Liu whispered: "Old lady, Miss Yu and Mingzhu Here comes the girl."

The old lady Huo opened her eyes and saw Huo Mingzhu's face. She was instinctively displeased, so she shifted her gaze to Yu Tong's face, she stood up a little, and said in an old-fashioned voice, "You're back?"

"Yes, aunt." Yu Tong smiled, exchanged glances with Huo Mingzhu, let go of his hands and walked to Mrs. Huo and said, "Aunt, I prayed for you a peace talisman in front of the Buddha, and bless you with good health and prosperity."

Mrs. Huo had already seen the big red peace talisman in Yu Tong's hand, she calmed down a little, and said with a slight smile: "It's still my niece who knows how to hurt others. By the way, where is Yu'er?" She glanced behind Huo Mingzhu : "Didn't Yu'er go with you too? Why didn't you see her?"

After hearing this, Yu Tong's face froze, and he smiled awkwardly: "Miss Yu...Old lady, I offended Miss Yu, she returned to Zhuoyu Pavilion as soon as she came back..."

Huo Mingzhu listened, and sighed secretly in her heart, this Yu Tong is a good material, can be cut and ground, what she wants, Yu Tong will give her, no need to remind her.
