Chapter 87
After retiring from the hall, Chen Zhifu returned to Chen's house with a look of displeasure, and the servant girl of the Shangguan family who had been waiting for Chen Zhifu came forward and saluted, and said respectfully to Chen Zhifu: "Master, madam, please go to her place. Say something to discuss with you!"

Chen Zhifu frowned deeply, thinking about what happened to Butler Li today, nodded, and walked towards the backyard.

"My concubine has met the master, and I heard that Steward Li was thrown into prison by you. What's going on?" Although Shangguan had already heard what was going on from the maidservant, she still wanted to get rid of it. Prefect Chen made sure of this matter.

When Chen Zhifu heard Shangguan's question, he snorted coldly and asked Shangguan: "You really don't know?"

Chen Zhifu's question immediately froze the puzzled expression on Shangguan's face, concealed the guilt in his eyes, and said to Chen Zhifu: "I really don't know, I just heard that the arresting officer of the prefect's yamen, Li The steward took him away, and then I heard that he was thrown into the prison by you, so I felt very strange, what big mistake did Steward Li make?"

"Crack!" Chen Zhifu slapped the table heavily with his hand, and the teacup on the table jumped up because of Chen Zhifu's action, only to hear Chen Zhifu angrily say: "This brainless guy actually let the servants of the house To teach Huo Zhirou a lesson is to embarrass the Chen family! What do you think of me now in Jincheng? They say that as the parental official in Jincheng, the housekeepers and servants in the house are not good at discipline, and let them pretend to be assassins to rob people. It really pissed me off!"

Shangguan laughed a few times, stepped forward and patted Chen Zhifu's chest lightly, and said comfortingly: "Master, don't be angry, I don't know that Steward Li is so bold, but after all, he taught me a lesson. Huo Zhirou also wanted to help us vent our anger. This Huo Zhirou is really hateful, isn't he? First she seduced Bing'er, and then forced the Chen family to withdraw the marriage and take the money in public. People are not relieved!"

Hearing Shangguan's words, Chen Zhifu spit out anger from his nostrils, and said angrily: "Even if he is venting his anger, he should use his brain, but the servants in the house pretended to be assassins, and instead of robbing people, they were caught. , and confessed to him, this is nothing, this guy was so frightened by Huo Zhirou in the courtroom that he was so scared that he honestly admitted that he did it, this is all right, I want to let him out It's hard! Things have gotten to this point, if he is released, someone will sue him, and the black hat on my head will be lost, especially when it's time for assessment again!"

"Are you really not going to let Steward Li come out?" Shangguan frowned when he heard Zhifu Chen's words, "He has always been very loyal, and this time he took care of this girl Huo Zhirou because he wanted to vent his anger on us, and these things Over the years, he has known many secrets of the Chen family in his heart, and he has also helped you do a lot of secret things, master, once this matter gets out, it will be bad for you and the Chen family."

When Chen Zhifu heard Shangguan's reminder, his eyes sank. It is true that over the years, he has asked Li Hai to do some obscure things that he is inconvenient to face. Once this guy threatens him with this, it will be bad !

"Master, now that this guy has committed a serious crime, he must not be able to return to the house to work as an servant. Let him go out, and worry that he will not keep his mouth tight. The only way to make him keep the secret is..." Shangguan smiled coldly, holding his hand Wiping his neck, this action made Zhifu Chen look at Shangguan in disbelief.

"Ma'am, this is too much, just send him out of Jincheng." Prefect Chen couldn't bear it, how could Housekeeper Li have done nothing wrong except for being confused today.

When Shangguan heard that Chen Zhifu disagreed, he said angrily: "Master, Steward Li is your confidant, who doesn't know that, once someone uses him to expose your secret, you think about the consequences, even though it didn't happen , but not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!"

Shangguan's words made Chen Zhifu's face darken. He was really not afraid of [-], just in case, once this guy leaked what he had sent him to do privately over the years, it would be a serious crime of beheading!

Thinking of this, Chen Zhifu's eyes flashed sinister, he nodded and said: "Kill this guy, the secret will not be revealed!"

When Shangguan heard Chen Zhifu's answer, she had expected it for a long time. Thinking of Huo Zhirou who made their Chen family lose face one after another, her eyes showed hatred, and she said to Chen Zhifu: "Master, then Huo Zhirou What about Zhirou, this stinky girl? Can she be spared so easily? I really don't want to be reconciled, thinking of our Chen family, no one in Jincheng dares to offend, but what about Huo Zhirou? This merchant's daughter is so negligent We are so disgusting!"

"Don't act recklessly, the person standing behind Huo Zhirou is the head of Yuanmen!" Prefect Chen warned Shangguan with a serious face.

"Master, you are too careful!" Sitting next to Chen Zhifu, Shangguan patted the back of his hand, and said to him, "Didn't it mean that the head of Yuanmen has left Jincheng? Besides, even if The head of Yuanmen has taken a fancy to Huo Zhirou, can this girl enter Yuanmen? With her status, she is not worthy! There are still people in Yuanmen who will not agree that head of Yuan wants to want this stinky girl!"

"How do you say it?" Chen Zhifu heard Shangguan's disdainful but affirmative tone, and immediately looked at her seriously and asked.

The Shangguan family didn't make Chen Zhifu appetite, and said directly: "I wrote a letter to ask the family, and my aunt knew from my father that the mother of the head of the Yuanmen is now Princess Deling, who already has a daughter-in-law candidate in her mind. It's not that Huo Zhirou's identity can be compared with that of a girl. She is Prince De's biological daughter, Princess Xue. She raised Princess Xue by her side and has always been raised as a daughter-in-law. Be a concubine, but now, the head of the Yuanmen family has not yet married a wife, how could he take a concubine first? From the concubine's point of view, the head of the Yuanmen family has left Jincheng now, and Huo Zhirou, a stinky girl, is not a spoiled girl The beauty of the city, the head of the family will soon forget her as a girl!"

Chen Zhifu frowned when he heard Shangguan's words, and asked in puzzlement: "I heard that Princess Deling left the royal family in order to marry the former head of Yuanmen, and this Xuejun The lord is also a member of the royal family, so how could the Yuanmen allow Princess Xue to marry in?"

"My lord, you are so confused. There is a precedent of Princess De Ling. Isn't there a second one? But this is not what we should care about. The concubine means that it is absolutely impossible for Huo Zhirou to enter Yuanmen and become Yuanmen." A woman who is in charge of the family!" Shangguan said affirmatively.

"Ma'am, you just want to teach her a lesson after you say so much?" Prefect Chen was not confused, he said helplessly when he heard Shangguan's words.

"Master, don't you hate this girl? Do you want to deal with her?" Shangguan questioned with eyes full of hatred.

When Chen Zhifu heard Shangguan's words, he pursed his lips tightly...

Huo Zhirou didn't know that because of today's disaster, Chen Zhifu and his wife hated her even more. After dinner, Huo Zhirou retreated from the maids in the room, leaving Yuan Yun alone in front of her. Looking at her, Huo Zhirou asked Said: "Yuan Yun, Yuan Dangjia only sent you to protect me?"

The Tianyuan sword appeared in front of Huo Zhirou, and Yuan Yun was already prepared to be interrogated by Huo Zhirou. Hearing Huo Zhirou's question, she said honestly: "Miss Hui, the head of the family even sent a secret guard." Be there for your protection."

"Why?" Huo Zhirou looked at Yuan Yun with sharp eyes, why did she protect her side by side, was it just to prevent her from having an accident? Huo Zhirou didn't believe this reason, even without her, Yuanmen can also find someone to replace the Huo family.

Yuan Yun smiled softly, "Miss, you don't have to worry too much, but you are really worried about your safety when you leave Jincheng as the head of the family. Firstly, your housework is cumbersome and the inner house is not safe. No one is good at martial arts, and the third is that you and the Chen family have a grudge, and the Chen family will definitely not be unwilling to let it go. The master thinks that it is better to have someone who knows martial arts by your side, so let us protect you openly and secretly, you see , isn't the head of the family planning for a rainy day?"

"Really?" Huo Zhirou squinted at Yuan Yun.

"Yes!" Yuan Yun nodded, in fact, the person who is in charge of the family is you, she can't say this, otherwise she will probably be kicked out of Huo's house.

"Yuan Yun..." Huo Zhirou looked at Yuan Yun with squinted eyes, with sharp eyes, "In your heart, am I your master, or is Master Yuan your master? If the two of us order you To kill the other party, who would you listen to?"

Yuan Yun's eyes widened when he heard Huo Zhirou's question, he didn't expect that Huo Zhirou would ask such a question, his heart skipped a beat.

"Why? It's hard to answer?" Huo Zhirou's voice was a little cold.

Yuan Yun knelt down and respectfully said to Huo Zhirou: "Miss, when the head of the family asked the slave to come to you, Miss Yuanyin also said that the slave is your servant, and you are the master of the slave, but In the future, you and the master will order your servants to kill each other, but your servants do not want to be disloyal and unrighteous, so your servants can only commit suicide."

As soon as Yuan Yun's words fell, Huo Zhirou looked at her silently, and the room became strangely quiet.

In this quiet environment, Yuan Yun broke out in a cold sweat uncomfortably.

After a long time, Huo Zhirou smiled lightly, the laughter broke the weird atmosphere in the room, and said to Yuan Yun with a smile: "Yuan Yun, remember what you said, since you will be my maid in the future, I will I'm calling you Ayun."

Ah Yun, when Yuan Yun heard Huo Zhirou's words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Ah Yun obeys!"

"En!" Huo Zhirou nodded.

"Miss, there is one more thing that I am worried about." Ayun looked at Huo Zhirou, "After all, Steward Li is from the Chen family, and the prefect Chen is probably very unhappy, and the servant is worried that the prefect will vent his anger To the Huo family."

Huo Zhirou put away the smiling face on his face, and the expression on his face became serious. With the way Chen Zhifu was annoyed in court today, he must be angry with her. She has provoked this trouble, how should I solve it? ?
Huo Zhirou thought of Mr. Qiu, the governor of Jiangnan, when she threatened Shangguan with Mr. Qiu when she was in Wangjiang Tower last time, maybe she could only ask him for help!
"It seems that we have to find someone to help! Ayun, go and call Uncle Cao." Huo Zhirou ordered.

After a while, Steward Cao came over, and Huo Zhirou said to him, "Uncle Cao, do you still remember Master Qiu?"
