Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 77
Not giving anyone a chance to react at all, Yu Tong jumped into the river so simply that even Lin Ruyi and Huo Huaiyu didn't understand it, they saw a figure jumping into the pool, and one or two drops of water splashed onto Lin Ruyi's body. Memories face.

The surrounding area was quiet, only the splashing sound in the lotus pond was heard. Even if the person who jumped into the river wanted to die, once he got into the water and was choked out of breath, his instinctive reaction would be to struggle as hard as he could. Up and down, totally out of control.

"Miss! Look! Yu...Miss Yu fell into the water!"

When Lin Ruyi's mother and daughter met Yu Tong, Huo Mingzhu happened to be walking by the lotus pond, but the lush vegetation blocked their master and servant.Seeing Lin Ruyi's face, Huo Mingzhu secretly thought that there might be a good show to watch, maybe her good-tempered mother couldn't help but get angry at Yu Tong, but it was also very enjoyable to watch.

However, as soon as she thought about it, Yu Tong reacted first, jumping off the lotus pond by surprise.

What a staunch woman, she was wronged, she didn't say anything, and she died to show her ambition.Huo Mingzhu sighed secretly, but Su Yu stamped impatiently beside her and said, "It's over, Miss Yu is going to drown! What should I do, Miss!"

"Don't worry." Huo Mingzhu's heart was very hardened, but she didn't want Yu Tong to die so soon. Although she didn't attract Lin Ruyi, it was Yu Tong who gave her a reminder to deal with a virtuous and virtuous mistress. It is not necessary to use ruthless methods, but to use some plots that they will never guess.

"Sulu, I'll ask the boy to save people. You go and report to the old lady. Just say that my cousin committed suicide by throwing herself into a lotus pond. She has to come to make the decision..." Huo Mingzhu said in a low tone.

"This..." Su Yu didn't understand why for a moment, but it was a matter of human life, so she ran towards Xiao Cixuan without saying a word.

In fact, there was no need for Huo Mingzhu to call for help. The maids and servants who were cleaning along the lotus pond saw this scene and shouted loudly: "Help! Someone fell into the water!"

"Come quickly! Miss Yu has thrown herself into the river!"

"Miss Yu threw herself into the river! Help me!"

"..."

This movement soon attracted the servant who knows water, jumped off the lotus pond in a hurry, and dragged Yu Tong to the shore. Yu Tong's body was soaked and he couldn't stop coughing.

Then Huo Mingzhu came out from the corner, looked at Lin Ruyi and Huo Huaiyu who were standing aside, and asked with great concern: "Mother, Yu'er, what's going on? What's wrong with my cousin?! God What! How can this be done!"

Her question was so innocent and harmless, she didn't look at the faces of Lin Ruyi and Huo Huaiyu, she squatted down to help Yu Tong calm down, her whole face was full of concern, even her fingers were trembling: "Hurry up! Doctor! If the diagnosis and treatment are delayed, how can you explain to the old lady!"

The girls and servants hurriedly agreed, and when they trotted to invite the doctor, they passed by Lin Ruyi and Huo Huaiyu, and even took a peek at them, for fear that they would be unhappy, and they would even lose their bowls and chopsticks.

Almost all the servants present heard Huo Huaiyu and Lin Ruyi's censure of Yu Tong, especially those who were far away. Even if they had never heard the voices of the three of them, it was enough to guess just by looking at their expressions and arguing momentum. To the extent that the two made things difficult for Yu Tong.If it wasn't for the excessive persecution, how could such a good-looking girl commit suicide and dive into the water?
At first he thought that Yu Tong was dead, Huo Huaiyu held his mother Lin Ruyi's hand tightly, but he was not afraid to shrink back, but sneered and muttered: "Who knows if she is just pretending? Think jumping into the river will prove her innocence? It's beautiful!"

Even though Lin Ruyi thought so in her heart, she was much more mature on the surface. Hearing Huo Huaiyu's ridicule, she scolded: "Yu'er, don't talk nonsense! You... save people!"

Some boys who knew water began to squeeze out the choking water for Yu Tong, and when Yu Tong finally coughed and spit out a few mouthfuls of water, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.It is much better to spit out the choking water, otherwise it is easy to die suddenly.

"Cousin, how do you feel? Is it better?" Huo Mingzhu asked with concern, she was going to be a good person in this battle, and she didn't understand the grievances between Lin Ruyi and Yu Tong at all.

"Hmph, I still have the face to wake up..." Huo Huaiyu muttered again, and rolled his eyes at Yu Tong without sympathy, but Lin Ruyi forcibly suppressed what he wanted to say next: "Yu Tong Son, shut up!"

Huo Huaiyu snorted, don't start, he doesn't even want to look at Yu Tong again.

At this time, Lin Ruyi finally regained her strength. This is her general's mansion, and it's not her turn to make decisions for her. No matter who jumps into the river or hangs herself, it's Lin Ruyi who gives orders.

Lin Ruyi looked down at Yu Tong, and suppressed the displeasure in her heart, and was about to instruct the servants to lift Yu Tong up and send her back to her residence, when a shout came from behind her: "What's going on!?"

A group of people in a hurry looked towards the source of the sound, only to see Mrs. Huo running towards here in a hurry, leaning on a cane, supported by Nanny Liu, her old eyes seemed to kill people.

"Old lady..." Seeing the old lady coming, Huo Huaiyu thought that she would still pay attention to him as usual, so he let go of his mother Lin Ruyi's arm and went up to her. Seeing his father Huo Zhengde following behind, Huo Huaiyu called out again: "Father……"

"What's going on here? Why did such a good person throw himself into the water?" Mrs. Huo didn't care about Huo Huaiyu at all at the moment, she came to the lotus pond and saw Yu Tong lying unconscious on the ground, furious again He was anxious again: "I was fine in my room just now, who is talking behind my back? Who is so brave enough to force my niece to throw herself into the water?!"

Mrs. Huo's crutches hit the ground heavily, making dull sounds. Everyone dared not speak, but some people glanced at Lin Ruyi unnaturally.

There are always people who gossip, and if there is a chance in this house to take advantage of the loopholes, the girls and servants are not easy to mess with. When Yu Tong ran out from Xiaocixuan, her girl Liuer brought from Qingcheng Followed too.Yaoyao witnessed her young lady being wronged and forced to throw herself into the water by Lin Ruyi and Huo Huaiyu, Liu'er complained to the old lady Huo without saying a word.

It's one thing to sue or not to win, but it's another to be able to make people sympathetic and pitiful. Liu'er only cried and said that her young lady was bullied, and she couldn't think about it for a while and threw herself into the water. It was Lin Ruyi's mother and daughter.

"My old lady has no place to talk in this house, right?" The more Mrs. Huo looked at Yu Tong's lifeless hair sticking to her neck, the more she trembled with anger, "Who doesn't know?" Is Tong'er my own niece? Our old Yu family is thin, and we only have such a fairy-like beauty. Her parents entrusted her to my old woman to take care of her. You all don't know how to treat guests. , but forced her to drown herself! This child has always been good-natured, who is vicious and wants to force her!"

"Old lady, you can't be unreasonable. This matter..." Huo Huaiyu couldn't hold his breath, and he understood that the old lady was blaming her mother. She was eager to expose Yu Tong's lowly nature, so she couldn't wait to explain road.

However, as soon as she opened her mouth to say a word, Mrs. Huo went crazy, her old and cloudy eyes widened, and she swung the crutch in her hand to hit Huo Huaiyu: "You say I am unreasonable, old woman?! You are so big!" Your guts! Not big or small!"

Huo Huaiyu regretted it when she said it, the crutch was knocked down on her body, Huo Mingzhu hurriedly stood in front of Huo Huaiyu, grabbed her crutch with one hand, and said: "Old lady, calm down first, Yu'er and you both I'm confused, but I can't mess around at this time, and the family still needs you to make decisions. I think my cousin is very weak, so hurry up and take her back and change into clean clothes! It's very cold in the pool, and I'm afraid I can't stand it anymore Already!"

Huo Mingzhu chose the most appropriate time to be a peacemaker, and directed everything to Yu Tong. These words were impeccable, and Mrs. Huo was praised so highly that people could not find a reason to argue.

"Yes, mother, hurry up and send Cousin Tong back to rest. The doctor has come to make a diagnosis and treat you before you can worry about other things." Huo Zhengde always had a serious face, but at this moment he also attached Huo Mingzhu and agreed to take Yu Tong with her first. go back.

Huo Mingzhu's eyes were so sharp, after Huo Zhengde finished speaking, she noticed that Lin Ruyi's and Huo Huaiyu's complexions became more serious.She pretended she didn't see anything, and directed the servants, "Hurry up, be careful..."

Everyone hurriedly prepared to lift Yu Tong up, but the old lady on the side spoke again, looking at Huo Zhengde: "Son, you are a general with great strength, those servants are very clumsy, I'm afraid they will hurt you!" Tong'er, go and hug..."

The uproar once again ignited the curiosity in everyone's hearts to the extreme, Lin Ruyi and Huo Huaiyu looked at Huo Zhengde in disbelief.Huo Mingzhu couldn't help laughing in her heart. Although Mrs. Huo is hateful and treats her meanly, she also has an advantage, that is, she treats everyone equally, no matter if the person is her daughter-in-law or granddaughter, as long as it makes her unhappy , she wanted to show off to them all.

It doesn't matter what kind of lady you are from the Duke's family or the mistress of the general's mansion, if she says you are one, you can't be two.

"Mother, what did you say?" Huo Zhengde obviously didn't hear clearly either.

Mrs. Huo pounded the ground with her cane again, and repeated: "What are you still doing, take your cousin back to the room. She has been wronged in our house, and you don't apologize. Who do you expect to admit your mistakes? The leader of this family There are masters everywhere, and my old woman is the only servant!"

The old lady was furious, no matter how inappropriate Huo Zhengde felt, it was hard to refuse, he glanced at Lin Ruyi, and saw that Lin Ruyi's face was not smiling... Huo Zhengde had no choice but to withdraw his gaze, and took a step forward He squatted down and hugged the limp Yu Tong.
