Chapter 20

Jiang Wu was stunned, she smiled and looked at Huo Jiujiu.There was a slight smile on his handsome face, and there was no anger at all, but there were dark waves in the beautiful eyes with thick eyebrows and upturned eyes.

It seems that this person is really as good-faced as the rumors say, but just a smile irritated him to this point.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I haven't passed the door yet. The old man is a foreigner to me. If I go, it is really inappropriate." Jiang Wu understood.

Huo Shijiu laughed and said, "Forget it, if you don't want to, I'll just obey my father's advice and call off the marriage. From now on, there will be less troubles." Standing lazily, he patted the hem of his robe The folds that do not exist have to go outside.

Jiang Wu gritted her teeth.

If he divorced, his father would have to be tortured to death in prison.Then wouldn't all of their family's hard work be destroyed in her hands today?

"My lord." Jiang Wu followed Huo Shijiu's pace, and her charming face flew up to Hongxia: "Don't..."

Her voice was low and gentle|soft, and she begged with coyness, even Grandma Sun felt that half of her bones were brittle when she heard it, but she was still a young girl, and she did it unintentionally.

Huo Shijiu stopped and looked back, seeing her slightly lowered head and Xia Fei's cheeks, he couldn't help but teased: "No, what don't you want?"

"Don't...retire the marriage." The voice was like a gnat, as if she was already too embarrassed.

"Since you like to follow me so much, I'll just disobey my father's order for you, and it's all my heart." The voice was gentle, with a smile in his eyes, and he looked at Jiang Wu affectionately.

Grandma Sun and the servant who delivered the message looked at each other, and the words "So that's how it is" flashed in her mind.Your Excellency really likes the mellow girl like Miss Jiang San, even the "Hedong Lion" is Xi Shi's "Shi" in the eyes of adults.

Jiang Wu's head was almost buried in her chest at this moment, she seemed ashamed and felt ashamed.She was as tall as Huo Jiujiu's chin.So at this moment, her cheek was about to touch his chest.The picture of the two standing opposite each other is very beautiful.

Nanny Sun, Cao Yu and the others all lowered their eyes.

Jiang Wu sneered, she was obviously hypocritical, but he really knew how to play tricks.Since he likes to act, she is his company, but she likes to play the leading role, and doesn't like to be a secondary role to be bossed around!

Just write it down this time.

"Then I'll go now." Jiang Wu stepped out, and Nanny Sun saluted and followed.

It wasn't until her figure disappeared in front of the courtyard that Huo Shijiu said, "Let's go too...well, just listen to the news in the front hall."

"Yes, sir."

Passing through the moon gate to the main courtyard, the more you go out, the more clear the yelling and cursing, Jiang Wucai went up the corridor and walked outside, and heard a deep and rough male voice full of anger:
"...Master Jiang is an upright official, a good official! You want to harm their daughter! Do you still have a conscience! You bastard! I knew that you are not as good as a beast. Back then, your mother It’s not as good as laying an egg! Laying an egg and steaming it is ten thousand times better than raising a prodigal son like you! I should have thrown you into the bucket of respect and drowned you! How can you tell me to be worthy of my ancestors! In the future When you get to the bottom, you will have no face to see your grandfather! Huo Shijiu, get out of here..."

Jiang Wu stopped and listened to the man's heartbroken scolding, and felt that she had a good impression of this future "father-in-law" without seeing him.

Seeing that he had reached the gate, he heard another female voice anxiously persuading him: "Old man, calm down, just stay here and tell Ah Ying how to behave in the future, it will affect his reputation if people listen to it, won't it? "

"Get out of here! You're a remarried stinky girl! Are you here to speak?!"

Jiang Wu stepped out of the corner door, and saw Aunt Miao's face flushed with tears, being thrown aside by a tall and strong man in his forties who was dressed in khaki and short brown and held a hoe. Just hold on.A dozen servants of the Huo family were holding bamboo sticks, and they were in a confrontation with more than a dozen peasants holding sickles and hoes.

The street is solemn, there are no people watching, presumably they avoid it because they are afraid of causing trouble.

Jiang Wu has memorized the past of those aunts that Sun Nanny told her these days.Ten years ago, the Huo family was just an ordinary farming family. Aunt Miao felt that Huo Shijiu's future was worrying, so she resolutely cut off her childhood sweetheart and found another husband-in-law.But how can there be definite numbers in this world?
Huo Nineteen and three years later, he became a Jinshi, No. 6 in the second class, and was appreciated by the late emperor.After the late emperor passed away, somehow he became a capable general of the Duke of England, and even served as the commander of Jinyiwei.

Three years ago, Aunt Miao's husband's family was convicted. The adult men of the family were beheaded, men under the age of 14 were sold into slavery, and all women were reduced to official prostitution.It is said that when Huo Shijiu found Aunt Miao, she was already infected with the disease, and she managed to save her life.

The poor boy back then has now become a figure second only to Britain's public power, and he is handsome again. How can Aunt Miao not be tempted to save her?
Huo Shijiu is now 27 years old. Thinking about a relationship when he was young, it not only had a profound impact on him, but also on his family. Mrs. Huo has such a temperament that he can't understand Huo Shijiu, let alone like Aunt Miao who despises poverty. A powerful woman who loves wealth.

Jiang Wu thought a lot, but in fact it was just a change of mind, she walked up to the front a few steps, bowed her knees and saluted: "Hello, Mrs. Huo."

Huo Dashuan poked the hoe in his hand on the ground, and asked loudly, "Who are you!" Could it be the new aunt?

Jiang Wudao: "Back to the old man, the little girl's surname is Jiang, she is the third in the family, and her father is Jiang Xuewen, the censor."

"Ah! You are..." Huo Dashuan looked at the pretty girl in front of him. Although he covered his veil, he could still see that she was indeed very fresh.

A little guilt arose in my heart, how could such a juicy girl be spoiled by that bastard of his family?
But after thinking about it, this has not yet passed the door, how did she come to Huo's mansion?Could it be that she is also the kind of woman who flatters Huo Nineteen just thinking about his high status?

Guilt turned to contempt, Huo Dashuan snorted.

Jiang Wu then said: "Please listen to me, old man, this marriage is the emperor's golden words, you..."

As soon as he heard that she had the intention of not retiring the engagement, Huo Dashuan became even more convinced that she was a dragon and a phoenix, and before she finished speaking, he said angrily: "You go as well! If it weren't for your father's being a man Come on, I will still scold you!"

Jiang Wu was taken aback for a moment, this old man's temper is really... pleasing!

"Huo Nineteen!" Huo Dashuan raised his voice again: "You still don't come out to me! What kind of skill is it to let your woman come out to persuade me! You also know that you will be ashamed to see your parents, don't you..."

After scolding more than a dozen times like this, Huo Dashuan hoarse, and no one came out. He was so angry that he threw the hoe to the ground, "If you don't come out again, I will bump my head against the stone lion at your door!"

As he spoke, he rushed towards the direction of the stone lion.

"Oh, old man! You can't do it, you can't do it!" The servant and the accompanying peasants panicked.
