Sheng Chong Jinghua: There is room for the legitimate daughter of the miracle doctor

Chapter 12 The thief shouts to catch the thief
After Dongmei and Qiuchan returned, they started preparing the things that their lady wanted without stopping, and delivered them to her early the next morning.

The two of them trotted along, fearing that they would delay Huo Jiuge's important business.

When they arrived at the ancestral hall, Huo Jiuge was copying Buddhist scriptures carefully. As soon as she turned the page, she heard a gentle knock on the door, and then someone called her Miss.

Huo Jiuge put down the pen in his hand, closed the scripture, stood up and opened the door for them.

As soon as the door opened, she saw two girls holding clothes in front of her like offering treasures. Huo Jiuge was surprised: "How could it be so fast?"

I thought they would need a day or two to prepare, but who knew they were ready so quickly.

Qiu Chan replied: "This is a cold coat that I made for my brother. I wanted to ask someone to send it to the border. However, the plague in the capital is so serious. The emperor has ordered all roads out of the capital to be closed. This matter can only be done." Give up."

Qiu Chan's brother was two years older than her. One of the two siblings stayed in the capital to work as a maid for Huo Jiuge, while the other followed Huo Chengqi to the border to fight the enemy.

After her reminder, Huo Jiuge remembered that he had an older brother, who was the youngest major general in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. They had not seen each other since he went to the border at the age of 15. Now four years have passed.

When he thought of this, Huo Jiuge's eyes darkened.

In winter, the thin layer of sunlight on her face seemed to be broken if she was not careful.When Huo Jiuge lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, like a butterfly with its wings flapping. Even if he stood still in front of the window, his nobility lingered faintly from his body.

Qiu Chan and Dong Mei were almost in a daze. They were the girls who had been serving Huo Jiuge since they were young. They were used to seeing her with low eyebrows and submissive eyes. For some reason, when they saw her again now, they would There is a feeling of unfamiliarity.That kind of faint elegance, appearing on this originally childish girl, actually matched inexplicably.

After collecting the things, Huo Jiuge asked them not to come to him for the time being. There were many people in the house and if they saw the two of them like this, they might make a fuss about it.

"No matter what they think, I will accompany the young lady anyway." Dongmei looked nonchalant. As long as she could stay with the young lady, she was not afraid of the second lady!
Seeing that the maid was so loyal, Huo Jiuge was moved but also a little worried, because she was afraid that Mrs. Qin would attack the people around her. After all, in this house that eats people without spitting out bones, killing a maid is like pinching to death. An ant is simple.

Seeing Dongmei being so stubborn, she could only turn around and tell Qiu Chan, but Qiu Chan had the same attitude.

"This ancestral hall is a shady place, and the ancestral tablets are enshrined, so the yin energy is even stronger. The young lady has always been in poor health. She has lived here for a long time. I am worried that you are suffering from the cold, so I will let Dongmei and I stay here with you. Even if it adds a little bit of popularity, it would be good." What Qiu Chan said was so true that it was hard to refuse.

Dongmei on the side also nodded frequently after hearing this, begging her to let them stay here.

There was no other way, Huo Jiuge had no choice but to agree to them.

Three more days passed, and there was a heavy snowstorm in the middle of the night. Although there were clothes and charcoal fire prepared by Dongmei and Qiucicada, Huo Jiuge still felt a pang in his heart when he heard the sound of the violent wind outside. Worry.

With this extreme weather now, people in the capital who are infected with the plague will be even more miserable.

It seems she must find a chance to go out!

Due to the heavy snowfall last night, Dongmei and Qiuchichan did not come to the ancestral hall as usual the next day. Just when Huo Jiuge thought they would not come today, there was suddenly a commotion outside the door.

She opened the door to look, only to find a group of people standing outside. They surrounded Qiu Chan and Dong Mei, forcing them to kneel in the snow, and even snatched the things they were holding tightly in their arms.Because they refused to hand over the things, the nun in charge of the house raised her hand and wanted to beat them.

Just as she put her hand down, a cold female voice sounded: "Stop!"

Everyone looked back and were stunned. The person who had just spoken was actually Huo Jiuge, a sick man.

"I punish the servant girl who made a mistake. I don't know where I offended the young lady." Aunt Zhang is someone close to the Qin family, so naturally she will not take Huo Jiuge's words seriously.

Huo Jiuge sneered. She had expected that the other party might make such a move, but Qiu Chan and Dong Mei were unlucky and happened to hit the head of the gun. She pursed her lower lip and said in a deep voice: "They are mine. Man, even if you make some mistakes, it’s not your turn to take over here, right?”

Nanny Zhang smiled, but her words were still cold: "Although these two maids are yours, miss, you are now a guilty person and were punished to face the wall in the ancestral hall to think about your faults, so your maids are temporarily taken care of by the second wife of the house. Tube."

Huo Jiuge narrowed his eyes, "Then I would like to ask grandma, what mistake did they make that made you so angry?"

The wrinkles on Nanny Zhang's face were very deep, and there was a hint of meanness in her smile. "These two maids are sneaky. At first glance, they seem to have stolen some treasure from the house. After the old slave searches her body, she will naturally give it to you." An explanation."

After saying that, she ordered the people around her to take off Qiu Chan and Dong Mei's clothes, saying that they would search them carefully.

In such a freezing environment, they would probably freeze to death here even if nothing was found during a strip search, let alone anything found.

Anyone who can think of such attention is really vicious.

Mother Zhang waved her hand, and several mothers with big muscles and round waists came up to catch the autumn cicadas and winter plums.

Huo Jiuge's face sank and he said sternly: "Stop! Even if I am a guilty person, I cannot tolerate you being bullied like this! Not to mention the fact that we still don't know the whole story, even if the girl next to me made any mistakes, It’s not your turn to interrogate privately! Go tell Auntie and let her interrogate in person!”

Qiu Chan was very clever and immediately got up and shouted coldly at the girl's mother who was about to catch them: "The Rongguo Mansion was left to my young lady and young master by the general and his wife. If my young lady suffers any loss, be careful with you when Mr. Huo comes back." Brain!”

Everyone was stunned and stopped what they were doing. After looking at each other, no one dared to make a move again.

Nanny Zhang felt bad. Originally, the second lady ordered her to come to the ancestral hall to check on Huo Jiuge. She just happened to meet these two girls, but now it seems that she accidentally offended her. She is a slave and has committed many crimes. inappropriate.She frowned and thought for a long time before saying with a smile: "This slave is also following the lady's instructions -"

Huo Jiuge said calmly: "How can my aunt be such an unreasonable and indifferent person as you say! It's obvious that you slaves are taking advantage of human power! Don't retreat!" These words were harshly worded, and she said it Cold sweat broke out on my forehead: "Fifth Miss, I really have no choice. Please be considerate of Fifth Miss..."

Seeing her like this, Huo Jiuge said coldly: "Forget it, I'll wait here for the time being. You go and report to the second lady. When she comes, she will get to the bottom of this matter and clear my maid's name!"

She didn't look panicked at all, and she didn't have the slightest fear of being accused. Nanny Zhang hesitated for a long time before she could speak. Finally, she felt a little uneasy and ordered people to prepare.

After giving the order, she dared to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, but she noticed a look in her direction. The look was cold and faint, like coming from an ancient well in the cold winter, with an indescribable ice. Han Zhiqi, he originally came to catch the thief, but he was overpowered by the aura of a 14-year-old girl.
