Chapter 210
Huo Shijiu rarely pays attention to Aunt Miao, even though she is his childhood sweetheart, after she chooses someone else, he has no interest in her, and he doesn't even care about the girls around Aunt Miao. , naturally do not recognize this person.Fortunately, he has an excellent memory, so he squinted his eyes and said, "Gu Xiang?"

"The servant girl is here." Gu Xiang raised her face, her red and swollen eyes were full of begging, kowtowed and said: "Master Hou, I will never dare again, my aunt is sincere to you, and she will never treat you again You don't have the slightest thought of murder! It wasn't my aunt who wanted to harm anyone, but my aunt said that there were rats in the house, so I asked my servant to buy it. If you don't believe me, there should be a record in the pharmacy. You can check it out. My aunt is crazy about you, you don’t need to like her, but you can’t wrong her! I beg you to be merciful, please forgive my aunt!”

Gu Xiang talked a lot at length, she seemed to feel that what she said was inappropriate in front of her master, she bit her lips, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your maidservant knows that she has violated the rules, and she will go to collect the fine later. Marquis, you can dispose of the servant girl as you like, please don't wrong my aunt."

Huo Jiujiu looked down at Gu Xiang, but he was not as angry as she guessed.Instead, she smiled playfully and said, "She is lucky to have a loyal girl like you by her side. Get up."

Gu Xiang was taken aback, raised her head, and touched the tears on her face.I was very surprised that Lord Hou, who was so superior that he didn't even bother to talk to others, would be so friendly with a little girl like her.

Huo Jiujiu said gently: "You, a girl, can't tell right from wrong. Go ahead."

"Master Hou..." Gu Xiang's tears flowed down again, and just as she was about to ask again, the nurse in charge who just arrived at the side came forward with a smile on her face and saluted Huo Shijiu: "Master Hou, calm down, this girl I can't figure it out, this old slave will take her down to discipline her." One of them let this girl run away without watching her, if she hadn't been lucky enough to catch up with Lord Hou and be in a good mood today, would she still be alive?
"You stupid hoof, hurry up and leave! Don't get in the way here!"

Gu Xiang was pulled up by the nurse in charge and took off.She struggled, but when she met Huo Shijiu's cold gaze, her struggle became weaker.It seemed as if all the courage he had rushed in just now had been exhausted.

Seeing that the nurse in charge and Gu Xiang were about to leave the courtyard, Huo Shijiu said lightly: "Gu Xiang is loyal to the Lord, and his heart is a show, so don't treat her harshly."

The nanny in charge was really surprised when she heard this.Immediately turned around, saluted with a smile: "What Hou Ye said is very true, this old slave obeys." He kicked Gu Xiang again, "Thank you for not being so quick! Hou Ye has spared your life. "

Gu Xiang was still in astonishment. Originally, she thought that Huo Shijiu only loved his first wife wholeheartedly. It was unfeeling to let go of Aunt Miao who had been with him for many years. Now it seems that it was because Huo Shijiu didn't blame him. She is reckless and heart-shattering.

My aunt ordered her to buy arsenic...it was indeed in the small kitchen.

"My servant thanked Lord Hou." Gu Xiang kowtowed to salute.

Huo Shijiu waved his hand casually to signal the two to leave, and turned around after the nurse in charge pulled Gu Xiang back, and saw Jiang Wu standing not far away with a smile, perhaps it was because the sun was shining brightly in the conservatory, and she was wearing thick clothes After working for a while, there was some thin sweat on her forehead, and the hair hanging from her temples looked damp, which made her ruddy face as delicate as a flower bud on a branch in early March.

"Wu'er." As soon as he saw her, he couldn't help but smile.

Jiang Wu opened her hands, her fingers were covered with mud, she came to him with a smile, and said, "What's wrong with Aunt Miao? She has been at peace for a long time."

Huo Shijiu walked to the greenhouse side by side with her, and said: "It's hard to fill desires. If she was driven out of the house and let her live without food and clothing, all she was thinking about was how to survive, but she didn't have the heart to think about those who have nothing. That's right. Now I give her food and clothes, but she thinks about how to get more."

"Everyone is like this, it's their nature." Jiang Wu didn't ask Huo Shijiu what Auntie Miao had done in detail, and Huo Shijiu didn't want to talk to her about it, that was because he had his own consideration, and she believed him.

Huo Shijiu didn't see her asking, and he liked her more deeply in his heart. No man would want his wife to distrust him.And no man wants his wife to cling to the old shit all day long.Jiang Wu never turns over old accounts, even if it is something that happened in front of her, Jiang Wu will not ask easily.Unless what he did would endanger his own safety.

Back in the conservatory, Huo Dashuan asked Huo Shijiu a few words, but Huo Shijiu only said that it was an official matter.Although Huo Dashuan had some desire to control his son, he also knew that he didn't know much about the affairs of the court, so it was not easy to interfere, so he didn't pursue it.

After dinner, Jiang Wu took Qijin back to the Xiaoyi Academy, and played with the child on the kang with her arms around her.

Huo Jiujiu and Cao Yu went to the outer courtyard, a remote courtyard.

Huo Shijiu's capable subordinates are currently interrogating here.

Aunt Miao's snow-white tunic had already been stripped of criss-crossed dark red bloodstains, her temple hair was messed up and her hands were half-hanging.When Huo Shijiu and Cao Yu entered the door, she had already fainted, her head drooping, and she was in a state of embarrassment.

Seeing Huo Shijiu enter the door, the two middle-aged men saluted: "Your Majesty."

"Well, wake her up. I have something to ask."

"Yes."

The two men are veterans, they will never be ambiguous about the execution of prisoners, and they will never show any pity for women.Immediately, he brought cold water and splashed it on Aunt Miao's head and face.

The wounds on Aunt Miao's body were intertwined, and she was already dizzy from the pain, but suddenly cold water rushed over her head, irritating the wounds on her body, as painful as if she had been smeared with pepper, she screamed and opened her eyes.

She thought she was yelling loudly, but when it stopped in the ears of others, it was just a groan.

"Master Hou, she's awake."

"Go back."

"Yes."

The two men retreated, leaving Cao Yu alone by Huo Shijiu's side.

Aunt Miao thought she was dazzled, and looked at Huo Jiujiu's direction blankly. After a while, she focused on the focus, and suddenly choked up and cried: "Aying, you came to save me, you finally came, I know you I can't bear to part with me, I know you still have feelings for me. Ah Ying, I was wronged, it must be Gu Xiang, Gu Xiang wronged me!"

Huo Shijiu raised his thick eyebrows, and now he sat down in the armchair by the window, knocking on the armrest of the mahogany chair with his index finger, "Really, what you said is not quite consistent with what Gu Xiang said."

"I was wronged! It was Gu Xiang who wanted to kill me! Lord Hou, I admit that I still don't give up on you. It's because the relationship between you and me has accumulated over time. I'm jealous, I'm jealous, but I'm not that vicious person, you know me! I know, my parents-in-law don't like me, and Miss Jiang..."

Huo Shijiu waved his hand and interrupted her with a cold expression: "I don't think you have adjusted your position yet."

Aunt Miao was taken aback, Huo Shijiu's cold eyes were more unbearable than the whips she was screaming at now, "You..."

"You are just a concubine. Besides, I didn't ask for your body. I just looked at you that day and wanted to find a reason to give you a proper position. It is better to let you come in the house than you are in danger outside. These words, at the time I made it clear to you when you entered the mansion, and I also said that one day in the future, if you have someone you like, you can tell me about it. I will definitely help you."

"But everyone knows that I am your woman, who would dare to want me!"

"If you weren't 'my' woman, would you still be alive today? You could have chosen to die in such a noble way." Huo Shijiu told the truth, "Since you are willing to be a concubine in order to save your life, you must obey The concubine said. Now my parents are not your parents-in-law, but my wife is your master. She is the super-first-rank imperial order sealed by the emperor himself, and she is the biological mother of Prince Jinning. Her status is far more noble than yours. , I just tried to give you a way to survive for the sake of acquaintance when I was young, but I didn't expect you to be so restless."

Aunt Miao's eyes burst into flames of anger: "I can do it too! As long as you are willing to give it to me, I can be as honorable as Mrs. Jiang! Why her? She is just a yellow-haired girl, and she has repeatedly disrespected you. Why can't you see it?" To me who loves you deeply!"

"Deep love?" Huo Jiujiu was amused by Aunt Miao: "Your devotion is deep, forgive me for not complimenting you.

When he was not smiling, his beautiful eyebrows and eyes shone with a light that repelled people thousands of miles away.When he smiled, his teeth were as white as braided shells, as if he was ten years younger all of a sudden, and he looked a little childish.

Originally, such a smile could fascinate Aunt Miao.

But now his smile is like a knife, cutting another knife on her scarred body.

Back then, she was indeed the one who thought he was superficial...

"Aying..."

"Let's get down to business." Huo Shijiu didn't want to listen to another woman who loves vanity and wanted to murder Jiang Wu, so she interrupted her and said, "Tell me, who ordered you to do this? I will leave you a way out."

Aunt Miao's body trembled, causing whiplash, and a burst of piercing pain.

Seeing her expression like this, Huo Shijiu knew that there must be something inside, so he was not anxious, but instead ordered someone to serve tea, and sat there drinking tea slowly.

Aunt Miao bit her lower lip nervously.The expression is very embarrassing.

"Aying, do you really have no feelings for me at all?"

Huo Shijiu paused, and said, "Where did I act to make you feel that I still have feelings for you?"

A rhetorical question made Aunt Miao's face burn like fire, "You..."

"I provide you with food and clothing because I have a good heart. If you think this means that I have feelings for you, you feel better. Today, if you tell the truth, you can still have a way to survive. If you don't tell the truth, I can only Pulled your gas door. You want to add arsenic to Wu'er's soup, it's not because I framed you."

Aunt Miao really wanted to say, "Then just come and kill me."But she was still afraid, the inhuman life she lived as an official prostitute was so hard, she always thought that it is better to live, and it is better to live than to die.
