Chapter 168 Who Is Mrs. Huo

But Huo Yuan's eyes looked at people, as if he had been soaked in the sun-backed water, it was wet and cold.

Turning his eyes, Xiao Ruan's voice became more polite: "Brother, please go first."

"My siblings don't seem to like me very much?"

Xiao Ruan didn't want to have too much dealings with this person, but the other person naturally raised the corners of his lips and talked with her as usual.

However, it is somewhat misleading to say whether you like it or not.

"Brother misunderstood, I naturally respect you very much."

There were not many people passing by the gate of Huo Mansion, Xiao Ruan frowned, and before Huo Yuan could speak, he said again: "If elder brother has nothing to do, I will take a step first and say goodbye."

After saying that, Xiao Ruan immediately took the maid and left, but there seemed to be a scorching gaze staring at her closely behind her, and it didn't disappear until she got into the carriage.

"Miss, why does this slave think that the Eldest Young Master looks at you very strangely?"

Just as the carriage left, Xiao Ruan was about to close his eyes and rest when he suddenly heard Zhu Yun's doubtful voice.

"We have a hostile relationship with Dafang. He looks at Miss strangely. Isn't that normal?"

Lianqiao also noticed something strange, but he didn't find it strange like Zhuyun did.

They haven't been in Huo's house for a long time, but they have already found out the situation of Huo's house.

The second room has been running against the big room, and Huo Xun once broke Huo Yuan's leg. As Huo Xun's wife, my young lady will naturally be treated as an enemy by these people.

"Lianqiao is right, you have to be careful with people in the future."

Xiao Ruan looked at the two maids in front of her, followed Lianqiao's words and replied lightly, then closed her eyes and stopped speaking.

Seeing this, the two little girls immediately kept silent with interest.

There was the sound of grunting wheels, and Xiao Ruan closed her eyes, but she was not sleepy at all, and she kept thinking about the way Huo Yuan looked at her just now in her mind.

Like Zhuyun's feeling, Xiao Ruan actually felt that Huo Yuan's words and eyes were a bit strange.

Huo Xun clearly told her that this person was indifferent and cruel, but today he took the initiative to stop himself, as if he wanted to talk to her, is there some kind of conspiracy?
Half an hour later, Xiao Ruan's carriage stopped at the door of Hongfu Buzhuang store in Xishi.

"Miss, the business of our cloth shop is really good today, there are so many people around the door!"

As soon as Xiao Ruan got off the carriage, he saw several layers of people gathered at the gate of the Red Mansion. Lian Qiao thought it was a boom in business, and immediately showed a surprised expression.

"He, I think you are looking for death today!"

Xiao Ruan also thought that the business of the cloth shop was booming, but when he walked to the door of the store, he heard an angry shout from inside, and then he noticed that the people around were not shopping, but watching the excitement.

There were too many people around the door of the store, Xiao Ruan and the others couldn't squeeze in, and could only hear occasional angry shouts from inside.

"Uncle, what happened in Hongfu Buzhuang? Why does it sound like there is a quarrel inside?"

Zhuyun stopped a middle-aged man who was stretching his neck to look inside. The man looked back at them and said, "Where are they arguing? They are fighting inside!"

"Why is there a fight? Is there no one to take care of it?"

Shocked on Xiao Ruan's face, he listened for a while with his ears upright, and suddenly found that the sound coming from inside was indeed like a fight, and his heart suddenly became anxious.

"The shopkeepers here are not ordinary people, who dares to meddle in their own business? I'm afraid that this fortune will be smashed to pieces by those people today."

After hearing this, Xiao Ruan realized the seriousness of the matter. Seeing that she couldn't squeeze in, she immediately asked Lian Qiao to find Lu Hanrui.

Lu Hanrui has been walking in the military and horse department all year round, and now he has been promoted to the commander of the sixth-rank capital, and he is inspecting the city today.

When he passed by Xishi and saw Forsythia, he still thought he was delusional, so he asked someone to stop her immediately.

"Why are you here alone, where's your lady?"

"Master Biao, come with me to Hongfu Buzhuang. Someone caused trouble there and not only fought, but also smashed our shop!"

Lianqiao didn't expect to meet Lu Hanrui so soon, and hurriedly talked about what happened in Hongfu Buzhuang.

"Who is so bold as to go to my sister's shop to make trouble in broad daylight?"

Lu Hanrui knew that Hongfu Buzhuang was Xiao Ruan's dowry shop, when he heard that someone had smashed up the shop, his face suddenly revealed an angry look, and he hurriedly took his servants to follow Lianqiao.

When Lu Hanrui arrived, those people were about to leave, his eyes sank, and he immediately arrested all the troublemakers.

"Who are you! How dare you arrest me? Do you know who is above me?"

"I don't care who you are, if you make trouble in the city today, you have broken the law of my court! Take it away immediately!"

Seeing Xiao Ruan's anxious expression, Lu Hanrui gave her a comforting look, and then angrily scolded the man caught by the officers and soldiers.

The man was wearing fine silk and a snow-white jade pendant around his waist. His stomach was slightly protruding. He was restrained by officers and soldiers, but his face still had a look of arrogance.

Lu Hanrui was used to seeing such people, so he waved his hand in disdain and asked someone to take him away immediately.

"You! Which one of you dares to take me away! My master is General Huo Xunhuo who would give way to the emperor! If you dare to offend me, none of you will be able to keep your heads!"

As soon as this person's voice fell, the onlookers suddenly showed surprise.

Who doesn't know that the most powerful person in this world is the emperor, but this person said that the emperor will give up three points when he sees Huo Xun, which is really a big tone.

After a pause, there were voices of discussion all around.

"Let me tell you, my master has taken a fancy to this Hongfu Cloth Village to show you face. If you don't want to lose your head, you should quickly give up the shop!"

There was silence all around, and the man stopped when he saw that he was going to take him to the officers and soldiers, thinking that his words had calmed down everyone, he immediately showed a complacent expression, and turned his head to warn the shopkeeper of Hongfu Buzhuang again.

"General Huo's subordinates bully the market like this. He must not be a good person. Unfortunately, we thought he was a great hero who defended his home and country!"

"That's right, this person actually said that the emperor wants to give him three points. This is clearly disrespectful to the emperor!"

Hearing the voices of discussion around, the expressions on the faces of Xiao Ruan and Lu Hanrui became dignified unconsciously.

This person clearly wanted to discredit Huo Xun on purpose.

"You said your master is General Huo, let me ask you, do you know who the master of our Hongfu Buzhuang is!"

The greasy man was enjoying himself when he suddenly heard the shopkeeper's voice, and immediately replied with disdain: "Who is the master? As long as my general values ​​things, you have to hand them in!"

Asked, the shopkeeper of Hongfu Buzhuang suddenly showed a mocking look, and he cupped his hands at the crowd around.

"Everyone, all the regular customers of my cloth shop know that the owner of my Hongfu cloth shop is General Huo's wife. How could General Huo smash his wife's shop? This person is pretending to slander General Huo!"

As he said that, the shopkeeper of Hongfu Buzhuang pointed to Xiao Ruan, and said to the crowd: "My wife has come here, and everyone can tell who is telling lies."

"Which one is the general's wife?"

"Where is the general's wife?"

Xiao Ruan nodded to the shopkeeper behind Lu Hanrui, and then walked slowly to the shop door of Hongfubuzhuang under the attention of everyone.

"Everyone, I am the master of this Hongfu cloth village. I am the wife of General Huo Mingmei. Today, General Huo was going to come to the cloth village with me, but he was summoned by the emperor and immediately entered the palace to accept orders. There must be no disrespect to the emperor. This person is clearly framing us!"

Like the treasurer Hongfu, Xiao Ruan bowed to everyone present.

That person deliberately smeared, she had to prove Huo Xun's innocence.

Especially when the person said that the emperor would give in to General Huo by three points. If this word reaches the emperor's ears, it must be a capital offense!
Xiao Ruan's attitude was sincere, and his tone was calm and calm. After some explanations, the eyes of everyone looking at the greasy man changed suddenly.

That greasy fat man obviously didn't expect Xiao Ruan to appear here suddenly, seeing himself being exposed.His face turned red and white, but he couldn't speak anymore, and spoke angrily again after a while.

"Who are you! A woman who dares to pretend to be my master is clearly courting death!"

"You say I'm a fake, then please ask your general to come out and confront me!"

Unexpectedly, this person was so difficult to deal with, Xiao Ruan's voice was filled with anger.

Seeing this, Lu Hanrui immediately stood up to testify for Xiao Ruan: "General Huo's wife is my cousin. I don't know that other than this Mrs. Xiao, there is another woman who can also be the general's wife!"

Because of Xiao Ruan's reputation as a jealous woman, the people in Beijing nowadays know Xiao Ruan very well, knowing that she is the granddaughter of Mrs. Lu and also the cousin of Lu Hanrui.

Now that Lu Hanrui has come out to prove it, these people are naturally very convinced.

"It turns out that this person deliberately pretended to be General Huo, and used the name of General Huo to commit crimes..."

Amidst the discussion among the crowd, Xiao Ruan winked at the shopkeeper next to him, and the other party immediately understood and said to Lu Hanrui loudly: "Master Lu, this person pretends to be General Huo's subordinate, slanders General Huo, and deliberately came to ask me about the situation in the store. Make trouble, please punish this person severely!"

"Master Lu! Arrest this person pretending to be General Huo!"

"Grab it!"

As shopkeeper Lu's voice fell, the crowd of onlookers immediately erupted in applause, demanding that Lu Hanrui take the greasy man away.

After everyone dispersed, Xiao Ruan entered the cloth house and found that it was a mess inside. It is completely conceivable that what kind of chaotic fight just happened here.

Even the guys in the store had injuries on their faces and bodies.

"Miss, why did you suddenly appear here today? If you hadn't called Mr. Lu, I'm afraid we would have to deal with this person!"

Linglong poured tea for Xiao Ruan and brought it over, her face full of surprise.

Xiao Ruan took the tea and put it on the table, looked at the shopkeeper and Linglong for a long time before sighing.
