Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 76
"Of course I've heard about it, although Mother Liu won't let us tell it..."

Huo Huaiyu was playing in the water, when he heard this voice suddenly, he couldn't help but look up at his mother, Lin Ruyi.

It was obvious that the two girls were talking about the corner of the wall, and at this moment there happened to be a clump of tall flowers and trees blocking the sight of the two of them, they had never seen Huo Huaiyu, Lin Ruyi and others here.

Lin Ruyi has always claimed to know the big and small affairs of the entire General's Mansion. When she heard this gossip, although she never paid much attention to it, she listened carefully. She faced Huo Huaiyu with a smile on her face, not thinking that meaning.

The girl giggled, quite festively: "If the marriage between the general and Miss Yu is destined, then won't we have another aunt in our house?"

Lin Ruyi's smile froze suddenly, and Huo Huaiyu was also stunned.

"Hee hee, yes, this is the first time this kind of happy event has happened in so many years. If the general finds out, he will be happy... The old lady also wants to kiss and get closer. Miss Yu and the general are cousins ..."

The laughter of the two girls was not loud, but it was particularly piercing in the ears of Lin Ruyi's mother and daughter, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

Lin Ruyi was always calm, but Huo Huaiyu was a master who couldn't bear it. When he heard these unclear words, he suddenly shouted and turned to Huamu, and said to the two girls: "You two dead girls, what are you doing here? What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Ah! Second Miss!"

The two girls might as well Huo Huaiyu suddenly appeared, their faces turned pale with fright, and they hurriedly backed away.

"Huaiyu..."

Hearing this quiet female voice again, the maids trembled with fright, hurriedly knelt down, fell on the ground and said: "Madam, Madam, we are talking nonsense, Madam, please spare me!"

The servants of the general's mansion knew very well that no matter how high the general's status was, his wife was still the head of the family. Just now, he talked about the general's taking concubines just now, and he hadn't discussed what the general's wife would have.

Now it's all right, being caught by my wife, no matter what, I can't escape a beating.

No matter whether they were kowtowing or begging for mercy, Lin Ruyi clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves, but her face remained calm, and she said calmly, "Speak clearly, what did you hear just now?"

The two girls looked at each other, shook their heads, and kept their mouths tightly shut, refusing to say, "Mrs. Hui, we didn't hear anything, no!"

Lin Ruyi sneered: "Really? Can't hear you? Who gave you the courage to spread rumors in this mansion? Come on, cut off their ears and seal their mouths. From now on, you won't be able to hear anything." If you can’t tell, it’s completely clean.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the servants and others behind her were about to step forward to do something. The two girls were terrified, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Madam, please forgive me! This servant said, this servant dare not hide Madam... it is because of the old lady From inside the room, it was said that Ms. Yu asked for a marriage lottery, and the date of birth of Mr. Ruyi in the sign was exactly the same as that of the general... The old lady seemed to like Miss Yu very much, and the general happened to be here at that time. We guessed that the old lady had discussed this matter with the general..."

"Slaves don't dare to lie anymore. These are all facts. Everyone has heard Miss Yu's signature, except for the old lady, and... and... oh, the eldest lady is also present! The eldest lady can also testify ! The servants will never dare to lie to Madam!"

After hearing these words, Lin Ruyi's heart sank. She thought she could control everything, but she didn't want a little girl to bring disaster into the general's mansion.

What's the use of her being capable?She never gave birth to an heir for Huo Zhengde, and in the eyes of others, she has already committed the crime of "seven outs". If it weren't for the power of the Marquis of Pingyang, Huo Zhengde might have divorced her early in the morning!
She also thought that she controlled the entire General's Mansion. It turned out that the cousin on the outer four roads had malicious intentions, and the daughter born to her own sister was an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf who helped them deal with her!In vain, she was still feeling guilty and uneasy, feeling that the next trick was too vicious...

"Mother! How could this be? Everyone knows, but we are the only ones hiding it from the two of us? What on earth do the old lady and father mean!" Huo Huaiyu couldn't hold back, and hurriedly stepped forward to kick the girl: "Let me You guys are secretly gossiping here! Why didn’t you come and tell my mother when you heard about this? You are clearly bastards!”

Naturally, Lin Ruyi would not be as impulsive as Huo Huaiyu, she suppressed her anger, her back was straight, and she refused to let others criticize her words and deeds.

"Yu'er, that's enough." Lin Ruyi raised her hand to stop Huo Huaiyu's mania, calmly maintained an indifferent expression, raised her head high, and said, "Let's go have lunch, what do you want to say in front of you?" The cousin asked the old lady face to face, it is these gossips, I will teach them later."

Huo Huaiyu was so angry that she wished to kill those two girls to relieve her anger. She has suffered enough today, and now she has to face rumors like a bolt from the blue. If that Yu Tong really becomes her father's concubine, she will But how to deal with her? !

"You...wait for me! Kneel for punishment now, until I tell you to get up!" Huo Huaiyu slapped one of the girls again, then got up and chased after his mother Lin Ruyi.

After holding Lin Ruyi's arm, Huo Huaiyu realized that her mother's body was stiff, and her girlish nature didn't care about any taboos, so she said bluntly: "Mother, if that Yu Tong really shamelessly seduces father, I will beat her to death!" Her scumbag face! Someone stripped her naked and tied her up on the city tower to show the public, who made her so scumbag!"

"sister in law……"

Before Huo Huaiyu finished speaking, he saw Yu Tong standing in the pavilion beside the lotus pond, his face full of panic.

Obviously, Yu Tong heard everything Huo Huaiyu said just now.

When Huo Huaiyu saw Yu Tong, she immediately became tense. She couldn't bear it, so she rushed up to ask Yu Tong what was going on.She had had enough of Yu Tong for a long time, but before she got close to Yu Tong, she suddenly saw Yu Tong walking back into the pavilion, choked up and cried, "I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to know about it. And being so angry, today Yu Tong will prove his innocence by death!"

As Yu Tong said, under the watchful eyes of all the maids, Lin Ruyi, and Huo Huaiyu, he jumped into the lotus pond!

With a "plop", there was a big splash of water.
