Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 172 Strangled to death
Hearing this, Jiang Wu was angry and funny, took a handkerchief to wipe off the stains on Huo Jiujiu's face, and then wiped his shoulders.

Mrs. Zhao turned back and ordered her servant to prepare hot water and a change of clothes, and said, "Don't poke here." Seeing Jiang Wu's sallow and thin face, she thought that this is not the place to talk, so she said, "Hurry up, Wuer." Get in the carriage, this house is bigger than the one in Shichahai, it will take a while to get to the main hall, we will go talk later."

Tang and Jiang Yan have already arrived at Jiang Wu's side now, seeing that she looks like a different person, they are anxious and worried in their hearts, eager to ask the truth, but they don't want to do it in front of Huo's family, so as not to be like It's like accusing Huo Shijiu.

Jiang Wu shook the hands of the two, stepped on the black lacquered wooden stool and got into the carriage, and greeted Zhao and Tang.

Both of them shook their heads: "Let's take a walk, it will be better for our health."

Mrs. Zhao said again: "Aying, let's take the car with Sister Wu. You just go to wash your face and change your clothes."

"Yes." Huo Shijiu used all his strength to restrain himself from frowning. After saluting Huo Dashuan, Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Tang, he got into the carriage and waved his hand outside through the small window before putting down the curtain.

As soon as the carriage started to move, he ran away in disgust, and threw it in a corner in a ball.He rubbed his sleeve against his face again, feeling that the smell of chicken manure would never go away.

Jiang Wu laughed and said: "Carefully peel off the skin. Wash it off later."

Huo Jiujiu gave her a wronged look, and said jokingly and seriously: "Look, your parents love you."

The implication is that he is the one who was abandoned,

Jiang Wu finally couldn't help but chuckle.

Back in the upper room, Bing Song and Ting Yu came back earlier and prepared hot water.

Huo Shijiu tidied up carefully, and put on a light blue cross-collar plain brocade gown, and only then did he get rid of the grudges in his heart.

And Jiang Wu took advantage of Huo Jiujiu's washing, called Cao Yu to go outside, and said a few words in a low voice.

Then the two went to Rongde Zhai where Huo Dashuan and Zhao Shi lived.

As soon as she entered the door, Jiang Wu's eyes fell on the child in the arms of the nanny who was wearing a red jacket and a yellow tiger head cap.

"Qijin." Jiang Wu walked over quickly, snatched the child from the nurse's arms, weighed the weight and said to Zhao and Tang with a smile: "Mother, thank you, Qijin has grown up a lot. "

Xu understood that Jiang Wu said his name, but Qi Jin pouted his mouth and waved his small hand, patted Jiang Wu's cheek, and yelled a few times.

Jiang Wu was overjoyed, shaking the child and said: "Qi Jin, do you know who I am? I am mother, mother."

Qijin yelled again, grinning with a small mouth.

His pink and jade carvings are very beautiful, especially when he smiles, the corners of his mouth are turned up and his eyes are curved, which really makes people feel sorry for him to the bone.

Huo Shijiu was on the side, and had already bowed to his parents and mother-in-law. Seeing that Jiang Wu was hugging the child and forgot to salute, he couldn't help being a little funny, so he came closer to pick up Qijin: "Wu'er, give me a hug." .”

"No." Jiang Wu childishly sat down beside Zhao and Tang next to Jiang Yan, and lightly tapped Qijin's little face with her fingers.

Huo Shijiu became more and more wronged.Why doesn't his son allow him to hug him?

Seeing how sweet a young couple is, and how much Jiang Wu loves the child, everyone is laughing at it.

Huo Dashuan just played with the pipe and pot, and said, "Ah Ying, what have you been doing this time? How is the emperor? Why did I hear people say that the emperor is seriously ill?"

Huo Shijiu sat down beside him and said, "Father, Your Majesty... is fine."

Huo Jiujiu seldom hesitated to speak on weekdays.Today there is hesitation.Seeing this, Huo Dashuan subconsciously looked at Huo Eranyi who was silent at the side.

Huo Eranyi was originally going to participate in Qiu Wei this year.But because something happened to the emperor, the government is now handed over to the British official to act as an agent, and the British official approved and ordered that the exam be canceled because of the emperor's physical maintenance.

He had studied hard for so long, just waiting for this time to raise his eyebrows, but he didn't expect it to change temporarily.

He went outside and listened to a lot of rumors about the situation in Kyoto.

Some said that the little emperor was not actually sick, maybe he was controlled by treacherous officials, and some people said that the little emperor might have been poisoned.

Huo Eranyi knew his elder brother well.Although Huo Shijiu looks like a literati, but in fact he is decisive, ruthless, and resourceful. The so-called "treacherous officials" controlled the emperor. Could it be that Huo Shijiu was also involved, or was it his plan?
After all, the group of them returned to Jinzhou because Huo Shijiu claimed to be sick and became an official. Huo Shijiu lost his original strong network of connections. Could it be that he doesn't hold a grudge?
Doesn't he look forward to the day when he can monopolize power?
But at this time, he should be the one who came together, but he found an excuse and didn't come together, and even delayed it for so long.

And now in the capital, the news that the emperor is critical has spread.It's a foregone conclusion.

When Huo Dashuan looked at him, Huo Nianyi couldn't help but frowned and nodded.

His guess was actually told to Huo Dashuan secretly.

Huo Dashuan's heart skipped a beat.

A little disappointed, but also a little disbelieving looking at Huo Jiujiu.He always thought that Huo Shijiu was just a bit naughty, he just liked to collect money and was a little domineering to outsiders, but he never thought that he would dare to rebel? !

"Aying, what's the matter with the emperor." Huo Dashuan had already lowered his face, and he spoke more seriously.

Everyone could hear that something was wrong.

Mrs. Zhao smoothed things over with a smile: "Look at you, your son and daughter-in-law just came back, why are you so vicious, you scared Wu'er and Qijin seriously."

Huo Dashuan glanced at Jiang Wu who was holding seven catties, and suppressed his anger and said: "You all go out first, I have something to say to Ah Ying."

Although Huo Dashuan was usually careless and unassuming, but now because of his suffocation, he appeared extremely dignified.

Mrs. Zhao got up and pulled Mrs. Tang, "Let's go out for a walk and let the men discuss it among themselves."

Tang nodded, and looked at Jiang Yan and Jiang Wu again.

Jiang Wu knew that Tang must have something to say to her, so she picked up Qijin and went out together.

Only Huo Dashuan, Huo Nianyi, and Huo Nineteen were left in the house.

Then Huo Dashuan said in a rough voice: "Aying, tell dad the truth, what is the matter with the emperor? How did I hear that the emperor is critically ill? He was doing well when he came to the house to farm. Such a child, It's the age of life and vitality, how can you be critically ill if you are so good! Also, where have you been these days? Did the emperor really order you to do something?"

Listening to Huo Dashuan's series of questions, Huo Shijiu realized in astonishment that his biological father regarded him as Cai Jing, a treacherous official who wanted to plot rebellion.

It is true that he has a bad reputation, but it is only in terms of collecting beauty and money, and he has not yet reached the level of treachery and evil.Unexpectedly, he turned out to be such an image in the minds of his family.

Seeing that he was silent, Huo Dashuan only regarded him as acquiescing.Immediately, he slapped the table, stood up and pointed at the bridge of Huo Shijiu's nose and cursed: "You son of a bitch, kneel down for me!"

Huo Jiujiu got up, lifted his clothes and knelt down slowly, saying, "Father, calm down."

"Pa——" a slap sounded.

Huo Shijiu's face was turned to one side, and there was blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"Bastard, bastard! I, Huo Dashuan, have been upright all my life. I have never stolen or robbed anyone. I have never even taken advantage of a sweet potato. How did you give birth to a bastard like you! I might as well strangle you to death!" The slap was already on Huo Shijiu's neck.

Huo Shijiu didn't dodge, and was pressed to the ground by Huo Dashuan. His hands that had been working all year round were full of strength, and Huo Shijiu's face turned purple in a blink of an eye.

Huo Nian saw that he was burning with anxiety. Although he despised Huo Shijiu as a treacherous official, he still couldn't bear it. He slapped his thigh and rushed forward, holding Huo Dashuan's hand: "Father, stop! Father! That's my elder brother!"

"Go away! I am ashamed of my ancestors for giving birth to such a bastard! Today I will strangle him to death, and later I will apologize with death. When the time comes, I will explain it to your grandfather!"

"Father, if you let go, even if you are guilty, you will be dealt with by the laws of the state. You can't do this! What will you do with your mother, and what will you do with Qijin and sister-in-law!"

Huo Dashuan's eyes were staring like copper bells, but hot tears welled up and rolled in his eyes.

Looking at the eldest son, thinking of how sensitive and studious he was when he was young, and thinking about all the things that have happened over the years, Huo Dashuan only felt physically and mentally exhausted.

"Grandpa, stop."

Just when he relaxed the strength in his hands, both Cao Yu and Jiao Zhongyi rushed in, each supporting Huo Dashuan and forcefully taking him aside.

Cao Yu went to help Huo Shijiu up.

Jiao Zhongyi cupped his hands at Huo Dashuan, and said, "Master Huo is very polite. I am Jiao Zhongyi, the commander of the Three Thousand Battalion, and I came here to protect the Marquis of Jinning with a secret decree from the Emperor!"

Huo Dashuan was out of breath, clenched his fists, and trembled with anger, "What did you say? The emperor told him to protect him? That bastard turtle should be thrown to the dogs!"

Jiao Zhongyi didn't expect that Huo Shijiu's father was such an honest and passionate man. He was a rough man, and he liked this kind of temperament, so he said sincerely: "The old man really has a real temperament. It's just that there are some For details and misunderstandings, you may have wrongly blamed Marquis Jin Ning."

"Wrong?"

"Yes, I don't know about the other things, but the escort this time is indeed because the emperor found out that the situation was different, and specially discussed with me to arrange a situation, and tied up Jin Ninghou who stayed in the capital and wanted to help the emperor put down the chaos. It was sent back to the fief. The emperor also wrote a letter to Jining, if you don't believe it, you can read it now."

Huo Dashuan reprimanded: "Look at that! I can't read!"

Huo Shijiu was speechless.

Huo Eryi coughed, "Father..."

Huo Dashuan slapped his forehead, and then remembered that Huo Nianyi was there, and stared at him: "Don't hand over the letter yet! Wait until I kick your shit out of my heart!"

"..." Cao Yu and Jiao Zhongyi were silent.

Huo Shijiu knew that he couldn't hide the matter.He looked suspiciously at Cao Yu and Jiao Zhongyi.Secretly wondering why they felt it was so timely, why Jiao Zhongyi said these words again.

Hesitantly, he took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Huo Eranyi.

Huo Eranyi almost took it with shaking hands.
