Chapter 48 Reversal 1
Mr. Huo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Just a maid's words really can't explain anything."

"Then are we going to let Qing Shang suffer such unjust injustice?" Huo Changqing couldn't believe that his grandfather was actually on Huo Jiuge's side. It seemed that this girl's methods were very good. It had only been a few short days. Tian changed his position in the old man's heart.

Mrs. Qin did not expect this situation. She cried and said to herself: "Since I married into the Huo family, I have abided by morality, etiquette, respect for the elderly, and frugality at bottom. But I didn't expect that in the end I wouldn't even be able to live with myself." I can't even protect my daughter, and she is being slandered in vain. If I had known this, you should have written a letter of divorce and let me take the child home, at least not like now."

She seemed to be complaining about Huo Ren's inaction, but in fact she was putting pressure on Mr. Huo. She threatened to return to her parents' home, just to tell Mr. Huo that if he couldn't handle it impartially, then she would take the matter to him. By spreading the word, she wanted the world to know that it was his favoritism that drove their second wife and family out.

Sure enough, after she cried like this, Mr. Huo, who valued the inheritance of family tradition, did not dare to say anything anymore.

Huo Jiuge glanced at his second wife and his family. Now they have grasped the old man's weakness and are bullying him together. If they don't resist at this time, I'm afraid they will get worse in the future!

"From what my aunt said, it seems she doesn't want to let me go?" Huo Jiuge tilted his head and asked.

Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment and looked into Huo Jiuge's clear and playful eyes. She felt guilty for a while, but when she thought of her daughter in her arms, she became cruel again. In addition, she was a little girl here because she was her own. With no one to rely on, how can you escape from the clutches of your own hands?
"What did Jiu Ge say?" Mrs. Qin wiped her tears and said, "I just feel sorry for my Qing Shang being wronged. The most important thing in a girl's family is reputation. If this matter is spread, , how do you want people in the capital to view us in the future?"

"But my aunt just said that she wanted to report to the official!" Huo Jiuge's lips curled up: "Aren't you afraid of making things worse?"

Qin was stunned.

Huo Jiuge didn't give her a chance to explain. She continued, "Moreover, Mingyue has only served me for a few days. She was a girl from Ziwei Garden before, and my aunt gave her to me personally. Have you forgotten?" Yet?"

"I" Mrs. Qin opened her mouth to refute, but was afraid of revealing any flaws.

"Of course, she is indeed the girl of my Hexiang Courtyard now, and I should bear the responsibility for any mistakes she makes." Huo Jiuge raised Mingyue's arm as he spoke, and then gave her sleeves in front of everyone. It was rolled up, revealing a large burn mark.

This scar has been there for a long time and should have stopped hurting long ago, but when Huo Jiuge raised her hand, he heard her cry out in pain. This sound was not fake.

Everyone frowned at everything, wondering what she meant.

"Other people don't know about this scar. I think my cousin should know it very well!" Huo Jiuge asked Huo Qingshang.

Huo Qingshang raised his head after hearing this and looked at the injury on Mingyue's hand. Cold sweat broke out on her hand, but she pretended not to know anything on her face.

"It seems that my cousin is really a noble person who forgets things." Huo Jiuge sneered and continued: "But that's right, after all, this scar is not on your body, so of course you won't care. It's just to punish this servant, I’m afraid if word spreads, it will disgrace your reputation for kindness!”

"You're talking nonsense!" At this moment, Mrs. Qin couldn't bear it anymore, and she immediately interrupted what Huo Jiuge was going to say next.

She knew exactly where the injury on Mingyue's hand came from, but she didn't expect how Huo Jiuge knew about it. Now that he mentioned it in front of everyone, it seemed that she was well prepared. .Huo Jiuge was not in a hurry. She stared at Huo Qingshang and said, "Originally, I wanted to save some face for my cousin. Since you are so stubborn, I don't have to cover up for you anymore!" As she said that, she turned back to her. Mingyue said: "Tell me clearly all the injuries on your body. Don't hide anything. If I find out that you lied, pay attention to your family!"

Mingyue panicked. She didn't expect Huo Jiuge to threaten her with her family.

At this time, Huo Qingwu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "You threaten her with her family and still want her to tell the truth? Huo Jiuge, I think you are the most vicious person!"

"I haven't finished speaking yet, so you know that I'm vicious? Are you also involved in what happened this time?"

"Don't be slanderous!" Huo Qingwu was stabbed in the heart and began to panic.

Huo Jiuge didn't care about her so much. She said directly to Mr. Huo: "Those servants are most worried about and easiest to be manipulated by their own families, so I boldly asked grandpa to send someone to protect her. family, lest anyone deliberately threaten her and make her say these things to drive a wedge between us!”

When she said this, her eyes deliberately glanced towards Qin. After seeing her panic, she already had an idea in her mind.

"Absurd!" Huo Ren said angrily: "We have to put so much effort into a girl, so why don't we just hand her over to the Yamen for trial?"

It seemed that he really didn't know what Qin was doing behind the scenes, otherwise he wouldn't have said such things.

After hearing what he said, Huo Jiuge said: "My cousin is the apple of your and your aunt's eye. Did the bright moon just pop out of the cracks in the rocks? If her parents knew that their daughter was working in someone else's house, she was framed and framed so casually by the owner. Wouldn't it ruin the reputation of our Rongguo government if word spread about it? The Master said: 'Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you! You are an official, don't you know this truth?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the whole room.

After a while, Mr. Huo said: "Just do as Jiuge said, I will send people to protect your family." He pointed at Mingyue and said: "At the same time, you must tell the truth, so that your family can be saved." !”

Huo Jiuge's delicate face was illuminated by the sunlight falling from the window. She said to Mingyue: "Now no one dares to threaten you with your family. Tell me everything you know. Since you are my heir, People from Xiangyuan, if I don’t say anything, no one will dare to do anything to you!”

Her words gave Mingyue reassurance. At least she no longer had to worry about the safety of her family. When she thought of this, she looked up at Qin and found that the other party was looking at her with evil eyes, as if she just wanted to say One wrong word and the other party could eat her into his stomach, Ming Yue couldn't help but tremble.

At this time, Huo Jiuge walked to her side, cutting off her and Qin's sight. Her thin figure was illuminated by the sun, and her shadow was stretched. The shadow wrapped the bright moon, and her cold voice came from above her head. : "Now I am your master. You must know that I am the only one who can protect you now!"

Her voice was like the sound of nature, which rescued Mingyue from hell.

 Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone, don’t forget to look at the moon!
