Chapter 176

It was already past noon when Xiao Ruan returned to the South Korean mansion. She had just arrived in the mansion when someone chased her in with a delicate mahogany box on her back.

The servant in the gray robe looked respectful, but there was obvious arrogance in his eyes.

"Miss Xiao, I am here to give you a thank you gift by order of my master."

Xiao Ruan sized that person up, glanced at the expensive mahogany box in his hand, and frowned: "Who is your master?"

There was no one else in Xiao Ruan's room except the maid, the man in gray raised his eyes to look at Zhuyun and Forsythia behind Xiao Ruan, and presented the mahogany box again.

"Miss Xiao, my master said that you can naturally guess who he is after seeing the gift."

Xiao Ruan's eyes flickered slightly, Lian Qiao had already taken the mahogany box from his hand.

Glancing at the straight servant, Xiao Ruan stretched out her thin white hand to open the mahogany box, and the moment she opened it, she was stunned.

The mahogany box was padded with black velvet cloth, and the luminous pearl the size of a baby's fist lay quietly on it, with a light blue light lingering around it, exquisite and beautiful but extremely familiar!
Staring straight at Zhuzhu, Xiao Ruan almost wondered if she had returned to the scene when she was Princess Huai in her previous life!

I still remember the same afternoon in the previous life, someone brought her a gift by Zhao Yan's order.

At that time, she opened it with joy, and was immediately attracted by the shiny and precious bead inside the mahogany box.She simply thought that it was because Zhao Yan knew that she was being made things difficult by the prince, and because of his love for her, he specially sent a gift to make her happy.So after that, she tried every means to persuade the Lu family to help Zhao Yan.

However, this precious Ye Mingzhu only stayed in her hands for a month before being begged by Xiao Ying to take it away.

At that time, she was full of reluctance, but Zhao Yan ordered her to hand over to Xiao Ying on the grounds of saying "you are the elder sister, so you need to be more generous".

But in this life, it was unexpected that this luminous pearl would be delivered to her eyes again in this way.

Resisting the urge to drop it, Xiao Ruan suddenly closed the box.

"Go back and tell your master that this gift is too expensive, so I dare not accept it."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the servant to respond, Xiao Ruan asked Lian Qiao to return the mahogany box and asked him to leave.

"Miss Xiao, my master is sincerely thanking you, why are you so rude!"

The gray-clothed servant was surprised, he never expected Xiao Ruan to turn his face suddenly, and the one who was holding the red wooden box suddenly showed an angry expression.

sincere?

Xiao Ruan snorted coldly.

She is already Huo Xun's wife now, but this person is saying "Miss" every time. She comes to thank her in this way, but she doesn't know where she reveals her sincerity.

If this matter is spread, maybe outsiders will talk about her!
Ignoring the man in gray's questioning, Xiao Ruan lowered his face and immediately had someone drive him out.

"Miss, who is the person who gave you the thank you gift? The servant girl saw that the beads in the box did not look like ordinary things at all..."

After the man in gray left, Lian Qiao asked curiously, suddenly Xiao Ruan's face darkened, and her voice immediately dropped.

"Then how could Ye Mingzhu be an ordinary mortal thing!"

After uttering such a sentence coldly, Xiao Ruan returned to the room full of anger, leaving behind Lisian Qiao and Zhu Yun with shocked faces.

To the two of them, the Ye Mingzhu was just something in legends, except for princes and nobles, no one in Taifu Lu's residence had ever obtained it.

But now, it is really surprising that someone casually sends a thank you gift to his young lady.

Because of that luminous pearl, Xiao Ruan was in a bad mood all afternoon, bored in the room because Zeng went out for half a step.He thought this matter was over, but unexpectedly, only half an hour later, Han Gong called her over.

The Shousong hall was full, Xiao Ruan looked up, and saw Qian Shi and Huo Yixuan looking at her gloatingly.On the other side, Huo Ming had a worried expression on his face, as if he was full of worry for her.

"Daughter-in-law met grandfather, father."

Xiao Ruan bowed respectfully to Han Hangong and Huo Ming, and ignored the second room. Qian Shi was about to explode, but she seemed to remember something, showing a mocking expression.

"Do you still know that you are the daughter-in-law of my Huo family? You will lose all face of my Huo family!"

As soon as Xiao Ruan's voice fell, Mr. Han let out an angry cry, which shook everyone in the room until their ears ached.

"My daughter-in-law was ordered to go to Wanfu Mountain to pray for you, but I don't know what she did to make you angry? Why don't my grandfather make it clear so that my daughter-in-law can know what's wrong?"

It seemed that Xiao Ruan had never expected that Xiao Ruan would be so calm, Han Han's face became even more angry, and he immediately asked someone to bring something over, and yelled at Xiao Ruan again.

"Let me ask you, why did His Highness Duke Huai give you such a precious thing as the Ye Mingzhu!"

Xiao Ruan raised his head, and when he saw a servant put a mahogany box on the table, his expression suddenly changed.Only then did he realize that the gray-clothed man sent by Zhao Yan actually delivered Ye Mingzhu to the old Duke.

Frowning tightly, Xiao Ruan became more and more annoyed.

Everyone knew that Huo Xun belonged to the prince. Although the relationship between Duke Han and King Huai was not hostile, they were also alienated a lot because of Huo Xun.

Now that Zhao Yan sent this object to the old Duke, he clearly wanted the entire Huo family to know that he had a personal relationship with him.

The man in gray said that the Ye Mingzhu was a thank you gift in front of her, but he didn't know how to say it in front of the Korean government.

"Back to grandfather, this night pearl was given by His Royal Highness Huai Wang to thank me for saving his life, but my daughter-in-law didn't accept it. I don't know how it got into your hands. I thought our Huo family shouldn't..."

"Xiao Ruan, this Ye Mingzhu is clearly evidence of your affair with Duke Huai's family, yet you still want to argue!"

Xiao Ruan's voice hadn't finished yet, when Qian Shi who was at the side suddenly interrupted: "Old Master, who is His Highness Duke Huai? With so many people around him protecting him, it's impossible for the second daughter-in-law to save his life. I think this It is false that she went to Wanfu Mountain to pray for you, but it is true that she had an affair with Duke Huai!"

As soon as these words came out, the room fell into silence for an instant, and everyone looked at Xiao Ruan holding their breath.Xiao Ruan raised her head suddenly, staring at the self-righteous Qian Shi with burning eyes, her heart filled with anger.

She didn't understand why the person in front of her said that Duke Huai gave her a thank you gift as adultery!
"You better be careful what you say, Auntie. If your words reach Duke Huai's ears, even grandpa might not be able to save your life!"

"You, you bitch, you did something shameless yourself, and you still dare to threaten me?"

Qian Shi was taken aback by the warning in Xiao Ruan's words, but quickly jumped up and cursed at Xiao Ruan: "The relationship between you and Duke Huai was unclear in the past, you must have taken advantage of Xun'er Not at home, secretly having an affair with Duke Huai!"

Qian's distorted face was full of anger, and there was a bit of pleasure in his voice.

At that time, the emperor ordered to severely punish the behavior of lending usury. Although he didn't arrest her for the sake of Duke Han, he asked her to pay a fine.

She was scolded by the old Duke, and she didn't even say anything, and even lost all the hard work she had accumulated all her life.

And the culprit who caused all this is Xiao Ruan!

Knowing that the old Duke drove Xiao Ruan to the Qingjing Temple outside the city, she specially arranged a group of people. She wanted to teach her a good lesson in secret, but she didn't want the news that Duke Huai was also in the Qingjing Temple.

She was thinking about how to use this to frame Xiao Ruan, when she suddenly heard that there was someone from Duke Huai's house asking to see her, so she immediately reported the matter to the old Duke.

Now, Xiao Ruan's explanation seemed to her to be nothing but nonsense, and Xiao Ruan was not good at force at all, so how could he possibly save Duke Huai?Qian secretly rejoiced that this little bitch was finally caught by her one day.

In the past, Prince Huai asked the emperor to marry Xiao Ruan several times in the court hall, she had heard about it.

Now that Duke Huai gave something as precious as Ye Mingzhu to Xiao Ruan, what could it be if it wasn't an affair?
For a moment, Qian looked at Xiao Ruan even more disdainfully.

"Come here, lock up this silver woman immediately, I must clean up the house today!"

The old man took Qian's words for granted, and immediately asked someone to drag Xiao Ruan down.

The servants from behind surrounded her, Xiao Ruan didn't realize it until now, the old Duke actually wanted to use the fact that King Huai sent him Ye Mingzhu as a raft, and insisted on charging her with adultery.

The two indiscriminately accused her of crimes indiscriminately, simply because they wanted to take advantage of Huo Xun's absence and try to harm her.

"Grandfather believed that I had an affair with Duke Huai because of Ye Mingzhu, but this Ye Mingzhu was not accepted by my daughter-in-law, why didn't you say that the person who received the gift had an affair with someone else!"

A strong sarcasm flashed in his eyes, Xiao Ruan stared at the old Duke and Qian Shi, and uttered angrily.

"You, you silver lady, you dare to argue with your words!"

The old man was punctured by Xiao Ruan, and he couldn't bear it any longer, he became angry and ordered his servants to drag Xiao Ruan away again.

"Grandfather, if you dare to treat me like this, don't you worry that this matter will reach the ears of my grandfather Lu Taifu!"

"Take it with me!"

Completely ignoring Xiao Ruan's anger, the old man looked at Xiao Ruan's struggle with a look of satisfaction, as if he was relieved of his breath.

He asked Xiao Ruan to go to Wanfu Mountain to pray for blessings, in order to insult her.Huo Xun is not around during this time, if he can't torture this woman well, how can he get rid of his hatred!
"stop!"

There was chaos in the lobby, just when Zhuyun and Lianqiao stopped the servants from taking their young lady away, a voice of suppressed anger suddenly sounded.

Xiao Ruan could hear clearly, it was actually Huo Ming who had been silent all this time.

"Father, if there is really an affair between Duke Huai and his daughter-in-law, how could he be so upright and order his servants to come to the mansion to express his gratitude, and your old man knew about it? You are too foolish for what you have done today!"

After finishing speaking, Huo Ming went straight to Xiao Ruan, and reprimanded those servants who were pulling Xiao Ruan: "Don't let go yet!"

Turning to Xiao Ruan, she said, "Go back to your courtyard and have a good rest, and wait for Xun'er to come back with peace of mind."

Xiao Ruan's arm was aching from being pulled by several women, now he heard the voice of his real father-in-law, it took a long time to react.

Looking up, the other party's eyes were full of firmness, Xiao Ruan nodded solemnly to him, and glanced at the other people in the room coldly, as if he wanted to deeply imprint the expressions of these people in his mind, and said nothing If so, leave immediately.

I don't know how Huo Ming will deal with the old Duke, but Xiao Ruan was very angry when he returned to his courtyard.
