Chapter 11
On a snowy night, there was only a cold full moon hanging in the sky. A tall figure suddenly appeared on the eaves of the Rongguo Palace. Looking from his direction, you could just see Huo Jiuge in the ancestral hall.

She was lighting a candle in the hall, and the candlelight illuminated half of her face. Her temperament was like the clear snow and cold moon, unstained by dust.

The wind and snow outside gradually stopped, but at this moment, something suddenly came from the window. In the silent night, the sound was infinitely amplified, and it sounded creepy.

If it were anyone else, he would have bowed his hands and begged his ancestors for blessing, but Huo Jiuge walked to the source of the sound and pushed open the window without thinking.

The moonlight shone through the window, lengthening her shadow and making her body even thinner.

There is nothing outside.

Just when she was about to close the window, she turned around and caught a glimpse of a figure in the corridor, about to disappear around the corner. Judging from the clothes on her body, she must be a maidservant in the house.

It seemed that Qin was ready to take action. Looking at the other party's leaving figure, Huo Jiuge showed a contemptuous smile. It would be too childish to think of ways to bring him down.

Since she wants to play, then I have to play with her!

Huo Jiuge closed the window, and the sound of wind and snow outside immediately became much quieter.

She walked to the shrine and prepared to continue cleaning the tablets of her ancestors. When it was her father Huo Xin's turn, her hands stopped.

Why is there a hairpin appearing here?It was obviously not there just now?
As a modern person, Huo Jiuge naturally did not believe in the ancient feudal theory of strange powers and gods. The sudden appearance of this thing must have been deliberately placed here.

She took off the hairpin and observed it carefully.

The whole body of the hairpin is made of wood, from shallow to deep, and the carving craftsman is also ingenious. The lotus actually looks exactly like the blood lotus on his hand. The lotus symbolizes the cycle of life and death in Buddhism. Is this a coincidence or is it intentional? For?

This hairpin feels cool and moist to the touch, and it is obviously made from the finest sandalwood spices. Such a lotus hairpin is probably worth more than a thousand gold. Who paid so generously for it?

Huo Jiuge thought about it carefully. If this hairpin was really placed here, then that person must still be hiding in this ancestral hall. Just when she was about to search, a familiar voice came from outside the door. .

It was the voices of Dongmei and Qiuchan. They were the personal maids of the original owner. They accompanied her from the Duke of Rongguo's mansion to the ancestral home in Jinling, and finally returned here.

It was probably because the two of them felt uneasy after seeing her being punished in this ancestral hall to think about her faults, so they had the courage to come here to see how she was doing.

As soon as Huo Jiuge opened the door, the younger Dongmei threw herself into her arms, hugged her and cried, "Miss."

Although the older Qiu Chan did not hug her and cry like Dong Mei, her eyes were red, and she was worried about her at first sight.

They heard from the nun in the house that the person the third prince really liked was the cousin of the house. For this reason, he would not hesitate to break off the engagement with his lady and marry her as his wife.

Since the death of General Huo and his wife, this family has become the control of the second wife of the Huo family. Now that my daughter has been annulled, I am afraid that the future will be even more difficult.

Although they feel worthless for the young lady, what can they do as maids?The only thing he could do was to secretly bring something to visit the young lady when she was being punished.

Qiu Chan put her baggage on Huo Jiu's singer, and then said, "Miss, these are all things you are used to. I brought them all here."

"After the Miss's confinement is lifted, we will go back to Jinling together and never return to this place again!" Dongmei also echoed her words: "Yes, let's go back to Jinling together and ask Mrs. Shen to make the decision for us."

The Mrs. Shen she mentioned was the grandmother of the original owner. She was now almost seventy years old. She usually loved the granddaughter of the original owner. If she knew that her precious daughter was being bullied like this, she would indeed seek justice for her.

But Huo Jiuge would not do this. Although the Shen family had some prestige and reputation in Jinling, it was still far behind the Huo family. She would not let the Shen family seek justice for her.

What she wants is for the entire Rongguo Palace to return to her hands, and those who harmed the original owner and their parents will have to pay a hundred times the price!

When Huo Jiuge thought of what he had done to the original owner, he couldn't control his inner emotions, and his eyes became extremely cold.

"Miss, Miss?" Dongmei and Qiuchan had never seen Huo Jiuge look like this before, and thought she was starting to become abnormal after experiencing so many blows.

Their calls brought Huo Jiuge back to reality.

Seeing that their young lady returned to normal, Dongmei and Qiu Chan breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and then said in unison: "Don't worry, young lady, no matter what happens, we will stand by your side."

Huo Jiuge looked at the girls in front of him. One was only 16 years old, and the other had just turned fourteen. Because of the timid temperament of the original owner, they were inferior to others in the house and were suppressed everywhere.

These servants in the house are all people who follow the wind. Seeing that the original owner is not favored, and the Qin family secretly stumbling upon her, everyone is rushing to work as an errand in Wangshuyuan, and no one wants to Serve Huo Jiuge.

Only these two girls were always by her side no matter where they were.

Huo Jiuge felt somewhat relieved to think that the original owner still had such loyal people around her. At least she didn't have to worry about those around her betraying her.

"Rongguo Duke's Mansion is my home, and I won't go anywhere." Huo Jiuge told them.

"But Madam Second" Dongmei wanted to say that Mrs. Qin, with her little belly, would definitely embarrass them, but before she could finish her words, she was stopped by Qiu Chan on the side.

Qiu Chan was older after all, and she could see the difference between Huo Jiuge and before.

Before, Huo Jiuge was like a wild cat, afraid to see people and would only stay in the corner; but now you see the determination in her eyes, it is obvious that she is a ferocious beast, showing its claws.

"Does the young lady already have any plans?" Qiu Chan believed that after so many things, the beast would not be manipulated by others, and now it was time to fight back.

Huo Jiuge didn't tell her her plan clearly. She just asked them to find a set of men's clothes first.

Nowadays, the plague is raging in the capital. As a doctor, she must save the people from the fire and water. However, for the time being, she cannot reveal her identity. She can only disguise herself as a man and blend into the crowd.

As for the Qin family, there is a long way to go. After she has cultivated her own power here, she will find the people behind the murder of the original owner's parents and uproot them.

Let them be arrogant for a while during this period. Sooner or later they will pay a heavy price for what they have done.
