Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 83
While Huo Mingzhu was talking to Mrs. Huo and Yu Tong, Lin Ruyi and Huo Huaiyu left "Xiaocixuan". Yixuan".

It happened that Huo Zhengde was fully dressed and ready to go out. Lin Ruyi came to stop him. Seeing this, she sneered and said, "Where is the general going? Your cousin Tong'er is awake."

Huo Zhengde left "Xiaocixuan" in order to spend less time arguing with these women, but he still couldn't hide, Lin Ruyi chased up and questioned.He understood Lin Ruyi's temperament, so it was inevitable to question him, but he was frank in his heart, what was there to be afraid of?Then he scolded: "Ma'am, you should pay attention to your words. If you let my cousin Tong'er hear what you said just now, how will you behave in the future? I, Huo Zhengde, walk straight, so there is nothing to say. "

Once a woman becomes unreasonable, she only catches the flaws in the man's words. When Lin Ruyi heard Huo Zhengde defending Yu Tong, she immediately became furious: "Yeah! I'm unreasonable and don't know how to measure it. Your little sister Tong'er will suffer." Wronged! Huo Zhengde, I have been husband and wife with you for more than ten years, and you have such thoughts and blamed me in every possible way!"

Huo Zhengde really didn't want to make matters worse, and when he saw Lin Ruyi in the courtyard, he pursued it, his face couldn't hold back, and he scolded angrily: "You can't show your family ugliness, how can you scold like those shrews? Don't forget who you are!"

Huo Zhengde has been praised too much these years, and has married two daughters of the Marquis of Pingyang successively. This kind of blessing is not available to ordinary people. With the support of Marquis of Pingyang, his official career has become smoother and smoother. Before today, He has never had a conflict with Lin Ruyi, so he has a good temper.Therefore, once he encountered Lin Ruyi's unreasonable behavior, he didn't know how to deal with it, and gradually began to speak unscrupulously.

"I'm a shrew?" Lin Ruyi couldn't believe her ears, but she heard such derogatory words from Huo Zhengde's mouth, which she never dared to think about before.She thought it was nothing at first, even if Yu Tong was there, it wouldn't pose any threat, after all, she and Huo Zhengde were considered sincere, and they had always respected each other as guests, how could they be easily changed by a little girl?

Hearing Huo Zhengde's words, Lin Ruyi had to wonder if Huo Zhengde's heart had changed. If Huo Zhengde was a gentleman, he hooked up with her sister when her sister gave birth to a daughter and was still in confinement. How to explain that my sister made her pregnant when she was seriously ill?In the past, Huo Zhengde and Lin Rujin were considered loving couples, so they turned around and left their dead wife aside?
Now she, Lin Ruyi, is no longer young, especially compared with those young girls who are like green onions, she is not at all succulent, can Huo Zhengde miss Yu Tong?

Thinking of this, Lin Ruyi opened her eyes wide, rushed to Huo Zhengde in two or three steps, and asked forcefully, "Huo Zhengde, tell me honestly, do you have a crush on that girl Yu Tong? The wife wants to kiss more?!"

Huo Zhengde is a man who puts his official career at the top of his list, but he really doesn't have the childlike heart of his mother, Mrs. Huo. Therefore, this forced question made Huo Zhengde very unhappy: "Stop talking nonsense, this is the end of this matter, I don't want to follow you again." Hearing nonsense from your mouth, you are the daughter of the Marquis Mansion anyway, how come your sister is half sensible and didn’t learn it? I think about it all day long.”

Huo Zhengde really doesn't know how to coax people, every sentence stabs Lin Ruyi's spine, she can't bear those vicious people, her sister Lin Rujin is also Lin Ruyi's demon, and she can't hear it anymore , especially not from Huo Zhengde's mouth.

Lin Ruyi became discouraged almost instantly: "Huo Zhengde, you have to be conscientious in life. What have I gained after I married you all these years? Since you miss your sister, why are you entangled with me? I'm just telling some facts , how did it become nonsense? You feel sorry for your cousin, so you don't have to throw dung on my head!"

Seeing Lin Ruyi's fierce eyes, Huo Zhengde also felt that something was wrong, and wanted to calm down, so he took a step back and said: "Okay, I just made a mistake, take a step back, and you don't make trouble, I said I didn't think so, But no, cousin Tong'er is a guest, mother thought she was pitiful and took her in to live in the general's mansion, if you don't like her, you should have less contact with her. There are my uncle's daughters on both sides, I can't turn a blind eye."

Huo Zhengde's words made some sense, there was no partiality, and Lin Ruyi also knew that the trouble should not go on. She was the most arrogant, and she hated to lose face in front of others. A marriage lottery obtained from a Bodhisattva had already annoyed her for a long time. No longer can people grab the handle and laugh at it.

Therefore, Lin Ruyi restrained her violent temper, nodded and said: "Since the general said no, I believe you. As the saying goes, a husband and wife who are married for one night and a hundred nights are kind, and our husband and wife for more than ten years should be extremely kind. General Just remember it."

With a gentle tone, Lin Ruyi even stepped forward to tidy up the corners of Huo Zhengde's clothes. This kind of harmonious scene was completely different from the tense situation just now.

Huo Zhengde has always been puzzled by customs, but the husband and wife with Lin Ruyi for these years know their face clearly. Seeing her calm down, he also sighed and said: "Ma'am, don't worry about these unwarranted things. I have official business, I will go first for my husband."

"Good to go, general." Lin Ruyi watched Huo Zhengde leave, but the calculations in her heart never disappeared.She's not Lin Rujin, she won't see her husband being taken away, only to end up pissed off, she has to get rid of those little sluts before they become a disaster!In her life, Lin Ruyi will never allow any woman to obstruct her eyes and share her man!

With such a plan in mind, Lin Ruyi called Cailian, her confidant, and secretly ordered: "Go to the medical clinic and find Dr. Sun, and prepare a medicine for me. This medicine must be..."

Cailian was a little startled when she heard that, but she didn't dare to go against her master's wishes, she nodded and said: "Yes, Cailian will do it now."

"You don't need to be in such a hurry." Lin Ruyi stopped her, thought for a while, and said, "Didn't Dr. Sun come to the mansion to treat Miss Yu today? Go and ask Mother Liu, who is next to the old lady, what medicine she needs. Get them back together, and if the old lady asks about it in the future, you might as well have a trick to cover your eyes."

Although Cailian didn't understand why, but since Lin Ruyi ordered, she followed suit: "Yes, Cailian understands. Ma'am, you only used some soup for lunch, and Cailian has ordered the small kitchen to prepare meals. You can use some."

Lin Ruyi walked towards the table in the room, sat down and sighed: "My girl is still sensible, she knows how to love me, no matter whether it's an old lady or a general, no one knows what's hot or cold."

Cai Lian didn't know why Lin Ruyi sighed, and didn't dare to intervene to speculate, she just stood aside with her head bowed.

……

When Huo Mingzhu came out of "Xiaocixuan", she had already gone down the mountain, and the old lady went to rest early in the morning, so she was by her side to accompany Yu Tong.

As soon as she returned to Chenxiang Garden, the words that Su Hui had held back for a long time finally came out like a torrent, and she asked strangely: "Miss, I stood there all afternoon, but I didn't understand what Miss meant. Did you say in front of your wife that your ancestors are not close to you? If your ancestors heard about it, you would be very sad."

Su Hui was straightforward, and asked when she had any questions. She didn't know about Huo Mingzhu's rebirth, and her vision of seeing people was as dim as that of Huo Mingzhu in her previous life.Huo Mingzhu struggled a little, not knowing whether to tell her the truth, and worried about hurting her.

Thinking that there will be many times in the future that Sulu will be even more puzzled, Huo Mingzhu thought that it would be better to be a little more frank with Suyu, so after Suyu entered the room, he closed the door and said: "Sulu, since you said that you are in my After staying by my side for a long time, have you noticed the old lady's attitude towards me since returning to Beijing?"

"Of course it's better than the old ancestors treated the young lady. He made things difficult for me several times, and even I, a servant, couldn't stand it anymore! That's why I said that the young lady is strange, how can she open her eyes and talk nonsense? The old lady is clearly prejudiced against the young lady. !” Su Yu said bluntly.

Su Hui's eyes never dodged from beginning to end, in Huo Mingzhu's eyes, she was indeed trustworthy.

Huo Mingzhu considered it again and again, and said hesitantly: "Sulu, I didn't want to talk like this, but my surname is Huo after all, so how can I rely on the Pingyang Marquis Mansion and my ancestors all my life? If you want to stay in the General Mansion, the old lady How could it not be flattering there? You must have seen that even the mother who said she loves me will ignore me when encountering these things. What does the second lady look like today, from Huguo Temple to You can also see clearly the temple fair and even the way home, I am afraid that I have never had a place in the general's mansion, and even in this Chenxiang Garden, the only person I can trust is you alone."

Seeing Huo Mingzhu's miserable words, Su Hui couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and she said in fear, "Miss, what's wrong with you? You used to not care about these things anymore, even if Su Rui tried to persuade you several times, you always felt The general and his wife sent you to the border town for your own good..."

Huo Mingzhu laughed at herself, feeling sour in her heart: "That's me being stupid."

She was really stupid, she didn't understand until she died once.

Su Hui was also moved to tears by her sad tone, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Huo Mingzhu's hand, and said: "Miss, don't be sad, do what you think. If there is no place for the young lady in the general's mansion, you can't Relying on Lord Hou and the old ancestors, the young lady will find a good husband as soon as possible. After marrying, she will not ask about anything, and it will be much cleaner! Anyway, no matter where she is, Sulu will follow the young lady. The young lady is in the border town , Sulu is in the border town, Miss is in the General's Mansion, and Sulu is in the General's Mansion."

With this girl, what can my husband ask for?
Huo Mingzhu seldom burst into tears, twisted Sulu's cheeks, and teased: "Follow me everywhere? Could it be that you want to marry your young lady early so that you can find a husband's family too?"

"Miss, you are really..." Su Hui stomped her feet angrily, and refused to spare Huo Mingzhu.

After playing around, Huo Mingzhu got back to business and said: "Sulu, what I told you today is what you will do in the future. There is no place for us in the general's mansion, so we can only use some methods to earn it. Anyway, I am still in the General's Mansion, if my mother is not happy and betroths me hastily to someone else, I am a daughter in the boudoir, and I will marry according to the orders of my parents and the words of the matchmaker, how can I control it?"

"Miss, just now Suhui already said, Suhui can do whatever you think. Although Suhui is stupid, she still won't sell Miss..."
