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

Chapter 13 Set a trap
Half an hour later, Mrs. Qin walked to the ancestral hall with a young girl. She walked all the way. Huo Jiuge watched from a distance, only feeling that the other party was coming menacingly. A pair of red and phoenix eyes flew upward slightly, showing indescribable charm and charm. He is fierce, his body is covered with pearls and jade, and his clothes are extremely luxurious.

The woman next to him, if Huo Jiuge guessed correctly, should be the second young lady, Huo Qingwu, who was born as a concubine.

Her biological mother was originally just a servant who served the old man. Huo Ren favored her after being drunk. This was a scandal, but she was pregnant at that time, so she was taken as a concubine.

It's just a pity that Huo Qingwu, who was born as a concubine, looks down on his biological mother very much. Instead, he fawns over his aunt Qin, and even has a better relationship with her than with his own biological mother.

Of course, Mrs. Qin would not refuse this opportunity to show off her reputation as a virtuous person. She asked Huo Qingwu to study with her daughter, just like the green leaves set off the red flowers.

Although Huo Qingwu's reputation is not as good as that of Huo Qingshang, the most talented woman in the capital, she is still ranked among the famous ladies.

In the memory left to her by the original owner, this cousin treated her very harshly. There were some things that Huo Qingshang couldn't handle, so she did everything for her. She was raised to be very arrogant and often bullied the original owner behind his back.

She got up and walked forward, and suddenly found Huo Jiuge standing there peacefully, seemingly fine. Her face suddenly darkened, and she looked at Grandma Zhang, as if blaming her for her incompetence in doing things.

"Why did you call me here?"

Aunt Zhang was about to speak, but Huo Jiuge snatched her words away, "Auntie, you have to make the decision for me!" She pretended to be coquettish and complained to Mrs. Qin: "Dongmei and Qiuchan are my maids, but Now she is being wronged for no reason. Aunt Zhang said she was instructed by you, but no one in the whole capital knows about your virtuous virtues. From this, it seems that the slaves are causing trouble behind the scenes in order to drive a wedge between the Duke of Rongguo and the imperial censor. It has something to do with the government, Auntie, you have to find out the matter, otherwise it will be bad for both our families if word gets out."

This is the second time Huo Jiuge has shown in front of everyone that he is the master of Rongguo Duke's Mansion. If the first time was accidental, then the second time it was intentional to embarrass the Qin family.

Although her words were thorny, Mrs. Qin was an old fox who had been dormant in the house for many years. How could she reveal her flaws because of these words?She wanted everyone to know that if she didn't follow the rules, she, Huo Jiuge, would be the one who committed the following offence.

Mrs. Qin just smiled calmly, "The Huo family has a strict family tradition. Not to mention the servants and maids who commit crimes, even the mistress must be punished if she commits a mistake."

"Although these two maids are yours, if they are really unclean as Granny Zhang said, they must be dealt with according to the family rules, slap twenty big names and report to the official. It will never be because of who they are. If you have maids, please protect them." Qin's words were righteous and awe-inspiring. She had clearly framed someone, but it seemed like she was very fair.

"Then if someone is deliberately framed, how should we deal with it?" Huo Jiuge was not upset and still maintained a decent smile.

"Don't worry, Jiu Ge, the Huo family will never tolerate black sheep. As long as it is finally proven that you two maids are innocent, then let the whistleblower kneel down and apologize to them, and then be fined three months' salary as compensation." The Qin family has always remained the head of the family. The mistress was so majestic that no one present dared to refute what she said.

If it were Huo Jiuge in the past, she would have been frightened, but now she has a calm face. Now that Qin has reached this point, Huo Jiuge will follow her wishes and let Qiu Jiuge Cicada and Dongmei handed over the things in their arms.

Qiu Chan and Dong Mei looked at each other with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

"Since your master has spoken, why haven't you handed over the things? Do you really want me to search you?" With Qin's support, Nanny Zhang felt particularly confident in her harsh words.

Seeing that Qiu Chan and Dong Mei were still motionless, Nanny Zhang stepped forward and tore their hands away from their arms, causing the things to fall to the floor with a "clatter".

"Madam, please take a look!" Aunt Zhang didn't even look at the things on the ground, and she hurriedly complained: "This is what they stole."

Mrs. Qin looked at the things scattered on the ground and frowned. Before she could say anything, Granny Zhang continued: "I have noticed these two girls sneaking around a long time ago. I will send someone here today." After following them, I found out the clues." "Are the clues that Granny Zhang refers to the things on the ground?" Huo Jiuge interrupted her and asked her to see the things on the ground clearly before speaking.

Grandma Zhang looked back at the ground and was dumbfounded. How could it be this kind of thing?

She clearly saw these two little girls putting gold hairpins into their clothes, so why did they become these things?
She looked at Qin for help, but was ignored by the other party.

Qin said calmly: "Although it's just some paper and ink, if we let them go like this, what if they steal something more valuable one day? If we don't punish the two of them this time, I'm afraid they will be punished if word gets out. People laugh at the Duke of Rongguo because the family law is not strict, and the servants and maids in the palace are not well disciplined. I am afraid it will make the public laugh."

She deliberately posed this dilemma to Huo Jiuge and waited for her reaction.

Huo Jiuge glanced at the things on the ground, raised his head and said, "I asked them to bring these things to me, so they are not stolen things as you said."

"After a night of reflection in the ancestral hall, Jiu Ge deeply realized his mistakes. It was my poor thinking that led to such disasters. So in order to make up for the mistakes I had made, I asked the two girls Qiu Chan and Dong Mei to do it. I found some paper and ink and wanted to copy Buddhist scriptures to pray for the Huo family, but I didn't expect that this matter would disturb you, Auntie."

Huo Jiuge's attitude was sincere, making it impossible to find a single fault.

Qin did not expect that she would say this. Originally, everything was under her control, but when she said this, it became her fault.

At this time, Huo Qingwu spoke: "These two are maids by your side. It is reasonable for you to protect them like this. Aunt Zhang has seen them wandering around the ancestral hall for many days. Since they have no stolen goods on them, it must be It’s right inside the ancestral hall.”

"And as their master, Huo Jiuge, you must have a share in this matter!"

Qin's eyes and ears were spread throughout the Rongguo Palace, and no matter the slightest disturbance could not escape her eyes, Huo Qingwu did not shy away from speaking out about it.

I don't know if she is really stupid, or if she is anxious to stand up for Mr. Qin to win her favor.

But what she didn't notice was that the moment she said this, Qin's expression froze obviously. It was obvious that this sentence accidentally exposed the fact that she had been monitoring Huo Jiuge.

Huo Jiuge snorted when he heard this and said half-jokingly: "I didn't know that my aunt cares about me so much and sends people to pay attention to my safety at all times."

Mrs. Qin forced a smile and explained to her: "You, like the other children in the house, are the daughters of the Huo family. It is for your sake that we send more people to look after you."

Huo Jiuge also smiled brightly: "Then Jiuge, thank you for your concern, Auntie."

"It should be." Qin's smile was almost stiff. This was the first time she felt Huo Jiuge's compelling aura, which further strengthened her determination not to stay.
