Chapter 34
Hearing Huo Zhirou's words, Luo Xing pointed at her angrily and said, "She is your sister, why do you say that about her?"

"Sister?" Huo Zhirou sneered, "My mother gave birth to only one daughter of mine, but she didn't give birth to a second one. If it weren't for the fact that they are your father and your flesh and blood, I wouldn't let them enter Huo's house The gate, since they have stepped in here, they should tell me about their duties. How can a girl who has not left the court come to the front yard to meet a foreign man? Also, she is a concubine, Aunt Jiang is just a concubine, passed it on, He also said that our Huo family has no rules! Not only that, but she also wants to serve meals by the side of the nephew. Could it be that there is no servant in our house, so we have to let her lower her status to do what the servant has to do? The so-called elder Sister is like mother, since mother is no longer here, and Aunt Jiang is a person who can't teach rules, my daughter can only teach her what rules are!"

"You..." Hearing Huo Zhirou's rebuttal, Luo Xing was so choked that he couldn't speak. After thinking for a while, what he said was indeed right.

Even so, Luo Xing was a little dissatisfied when he thought that he was speechless by a daughter, "Even so, you can't slap her in the face! Or what if you disfigured her face?"

"Dad, don't worry, my daughter told the servant girl to be tactful, and if she doesn't play hard, she won't remember the lesson!" Huo Zhirou said in a calm tone.

Hearing this, Luo Xing was silent for a while, and did not bring up the matter again, "What do you want from me?"

"Father enters the study first before daughter!" Huo Zhirou avoided the body and let Luo Xing step into the study first.

After closing the study door, Huo Zhirou didn't turn a corner, and said directly: "I heard that father left Mr. Qi at the house?"

Luo Xing nodded when he heard Huo Zhirou's question, and then said: "Yes, after all, Mr. Qi is also your benefactor and me. It's hard to feel comfortable living in an inn, so I will keep Mr. Qi to live in Huo Zhirou. The government can also be regarded as repaying the kindness of others!"

"It's as simple as repaying your kindness?" Huo Zhirou squinted at Luo Xingwei.

Because Huo Zhirou looked at him like this, Luo Xing suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and said angrily: "Otherwise, what do you think?"

"I thought Dad wanted him to be your son-in-law!" Huo Zhirou answered Luo Xingwei's question directly.

When Luo Xingwei heard this, his face was a little guilty. He really valued this "Mr. Qi" and wanted to make him his son-in-law.

Luo Xingwei looked at the cold expression on Huo Zhirou's face, and then admitted displeasedly: "Yes! Father sees that this Mr. Qi is a good-looking talent, and you are so fast that you should find a husband-in-law, this Mr. Qi's father." It just looks good!"

Huo Zhirou heard Luo Xingwei's explanation, and said with a cold smile: "Oh? Dad left Mr. Qi for his daughter to find a husband? My daughter thought you were doing it for your second daughter! After all She is about the same age as her daughter, and she is almost reaching her age."

Luo Xing said: "..."

Huo Zhirou looked at Luo Xingwei who remained silent for a while, and the cold light in his eyes became more intense, and then said: "Father, you have only known Mr. Qi for a long time, and you already know him? Knowing him is a good husband-in-law? Do you value it?" He, my daughter doesn't value this man, so don't let your daughter marry such a man!"

"Did you say that about him? How can you say that he is your savior!" Luo Xingwei looked at Huo Zhirou's words and said angrily.

"The savior is the savior, but the daughter will not repay him with a promise of body. Besides, do you know his identity? He has guards around him. No matter how you look at his family background, it is not simple. Do you think our Huo family Can a merchant in Jincheng be worthy of him? Does father want his daughter to be a concubine? If the daughter wants to be a concubine, mother might climb up from below to find her daughter and father to settle the score!" Huo Zhirou sternly held a picture. With a pretty face, sarcasm spewed out of his mouth.

Hearing Huo Zhirou's words, Luo Xing's face suddenly turned green and white, and he said angrily, "You don't want to, your sister does!"

"Hehehe!" Huo Zhirou covered his mouth and let out a sneer when he heard this, with a cold look in his eyes, "Yes! Of course she is willing, she's just an outsider's daughter! But my daughter agrees, once she If you become Mr. Qi's concubine, then the Huo family will not be able to accommodate the three of them, mother and son, if someone is willing to accept it, the daughter can only wish for it!"

"You, you!" Luo Xingwei pointed at Huo Zhirou angrily. This daughter threatened him that once he really asked Luo Huilan to marry "Master Qi", this daughter would kick them out.

"Father, my daughter will ask the servants to treat Mr. Qi well, as a distinguished guest, not as a sister-in-law, put away your little thoughts, you know, my daughter will do what she says!" After Huo Zhirou finished speaking, she turned to Luo Xingwei saluted, "Daughter leave!" After speaking, he turned and left the study.

When Huo Zhirou left the study, he heard something being smashed in the study, the corners of his mouth twitched contemptuously.

Feihe Tower.When Yuan Bohan heard the secret guard report that Si Haoran was staying in Huo's house, his face was expressionless, but his eyes were gloomy, and his fingers gently rubbed the jade wrench on his thumb.

After a long time, Yuan Bohan said in a faint voice, "What's Huo Zhirou's attitude?"

"Huo Zhirou went to find her father, and the two of them quarreled in the study about this matter. Huo Zhirou was very opposed to King Qi staying in the Huo Mansion!" Yuan Jian said respectfully.

When Yuan Bohan heard Yuan Jian's words, he laughed lightly, "This Miss Huo family is quite smart, she knows that Si Haoran's intentions are not right, so what's the purpose of investigating Si Haoran's coming to Jincheng?"

"The subordinates are incompetent. It has not been investigated yet, but it should be related to the Huo family. Today Huo Zhirou's biological father, Luo Xingwei, met a thief on the street and lost his money. It was King Qi who relieved the siege, and Luo Xingwei's money was exactly The king of Qi sent someone to steal it, and the subordinates think that the king of Qi should use this to live in the Huo family for something."

Yuan Bohan nodded slightly, "Go check the Huo family and see if there are any clues!"

"Yes!" Yuan Jian heard Yuan Bohan's order and quickly disappeared into the room.

After Yuan Jian left, Yuan Yin said to Yuan Bohan: "Master, do you want to disclose the matter of King Qi to Miss Huo?"

"Why did you disclose it to her? What does she have to do with us?" Yuan Bohan raised his brows and asked back when he heard Yuan Yin's words.

"..." Yuan Yin fell silent when she heard Yuan Bohan's rhetorical question. Huo Zhiruan really has nothing to do with Yuanmen, but she just thinks that her master seems to be interested in this young lady of the Huo family. Doesn't the master not worried?

Yuan Bohan looked at the speechless appearance of his personal maid, smiled lightly, and stood up. This girl didn't seem to have a good impression of Si Haoran. Since she was already on guard, why should he remind her?If he was reminded, wouldn't the fact that he sent someone to monitor this girl be exposed?Usually my maidservant is very smart, why is she confused at this time?Is Jincheng water stupid?
In the middle of the night, Jincheng was quiet, the only thing that could be heard was a dog barking. At this time, a few figures were sneaking back and forth on the street. When they arrived at the Huojia Embroidery Workshop, they looked around vigilantly .

"Second, there is an old man watching inside, dozing off!" A man climbed up the wall and glanced at the environment inside the embroidery workshop, then whispered to the people outside.

"You go in first, knock the old man unconscious, and then open the door for us!" The second child ordered after hearing the man's words.

Hearing what the second child said, the man nodded, quickly climbed over the wall, and quickly entered the embroidery workshop. After a while, the door opened.

The second child glanced at Jin Jin in the embroidery workshop, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, "Burn them all!"

Hearing the order from the second child, the people around him immediately acted.

A raging fire burned inside the embroidery workshop, and the men who did evil things left the embroidery workshop quickly.

"It's gone! Come on! It's gone!" The old man who was knocked out was woken up by the heat. Looking at the scene in front of him, a terrified expression appeared on his face, and he immediately yelled loudly.

"Miss, miss!" Chun Xiao anxiously pushed Huo Zhirou who was sleeping on the bed, with sweat on his forehead.

Huo Zhirou woke up in a daze, but her consciousness was not clear yet, she said in a vague voice: "Is it dawn?"

"It's not dawn, Miss, something happened in the embroidery workshop!" Chun Xiao said anxiously in a crying voice while grabbing Huo Zhirou's arm.

Chun Xiao's words brought Huo Zhirou back to his senses in an instant, swept away the confusion just now, opened his eyes wide suddenly, and said in shock: "What did you say? Something happened to the embroidery workshop? What happened?"

"The embroidery workshop is flooded. Manager Li sent someone to report this matter. Butler Cao thinks that this matter cannot be concealed. But Mr. Cao is now going to the embroidery workshop to check the situation." Chun Xiao explained the matter simply.

Hearing Chun Xiao's words, Huo Zhirou lifted the quilt and said anxiously: "Help me dress and change clothes, let someone prepare the carriage, I'm going to see it too!"

Chun Xiao was startled, "Miss, it's late at night! Besides, Housekeeper Cao has already left, you just wait at the house for news!"

"You asked me to stay at the house and wait for the news, I can't do it! Hurry up!" Huo Zhirou didn't want to talk nonsense with Chun Xiao, so she said sharply.

When Chunxiao heard Huo Zhirou's order, she didn't dare to say more, and immediately found clothes to help Huo Zhirou change.

When Huo Zhirou arrived at the embroidery workshop, the fire in the embroidery workshop had been extinguished, but the air was still filled with scorching heat. Huo Zhirou hadn't waited for the carriage to stop, so he lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. When Chunxiao saw Huo Zhirou's actions, she burst into a cold sweat.

Stepping into the embroidery workshop, seeing the mess inside and even half of the house being burned down, Huo Zhirou staggered and fell backwards.

"Miss, be careful!" Chunxiao saw Huo Zhirou's abnormality and immediately supported her.

Chunxiao's voice immediately attracted the attention of Steward Cao, Steward Li and Situ Fan who were not far away. When Steward Cao saw Huo Zhirou who had rushed over overnight, his expression changed, and he quickly walked in front of Huo Zhirou, "Miss, Why are you here?"

Huo Zhirou stepped forward and grabbed Steward Cao's sleeve, his face turned pale, and he asked uneasily, "Uncle Cao, what happened to those Jin brocades?"

When Steward Cao heard Huo Zhirou's question, he hesitated for a moment, not daring to tell the truth.

Huo Zhirou looked at Butler Cao's silent appearance, and his heart felt cold. He cast his eyes on Guanshi Li and Situ Fan who were following Steward Cao, gritted his teeth, and controlled the trembling of his voice, "Uncle Li, You tell me! How's the situation?"

"Miss, it's over! All the embroideries we've been chasing these past few days are all over!" Li Butler lowered his head in frustration, and said in a choked voice.

When Huo Zhirou heard Butler Li's words, he rolled his eyes and fainted in Chunxiao's arms.

"Miss!" Everyone cried out in horror when they saw Huo Zhirou who was fainting...
