Chapter 52 The Death of Mingyue
After this incident, the Rongguo Palace returned to its former peace. Ever since Huo Qingshang was demoted to Chanxi Temple, Qin could not afford to fall ill and relied on decoctions to survive all day long.

Perhaps for this reason, Huo Jiuge had a good few days of clean life, and even Huo Qingwu, who had always been troublesome, did not come to trouble her again. He was probably scared after seeing the way she dealt with Qin's mother and daughter.

But this does not mean that the accounts between Huo Jiuge and Qin are settled. Both of them are not easy to mess with. One night, in the heavy rain, Mingyue ran out from nowhere. She knelt down At the gate of Hexiangyuan, she begged Huo Jiuge to save her.

"Please miss, please save this slave! Madam is going to sell me to a brothel, please think of my past kindness and please save this slave!" She regarded Huo Jiuge as her only life-saving straw, regardless of any dignity. He kowtowed, not caring even if his forehead was broken and bleeding.

The brothels she described were the lowest-class places of romance, only used by some low-class people to vent their desires. The two taels of silver they earned every day were enough to satisfy their hunger, and they could even contract some diseases if they were not careful.

For women, it is a more terrifying place than hell!
Thinking that she had done so many things for the Qin family and ended up with such a result, not only Mingyue couldn't accept it, but even the maids around the Qin family shuddered.

Mingyue ran out of the darkroom while the caretaker was taking a nap. She knew that the only person in the Rongguo Palace who could compete with the Qin family was Huo Jiuge, so even if she risked being caught and beaten Even at the risk of death, she had to run to Hexiangyuan to beg for help.

After lighting the incense, Huo Jiuge walked out surrounded by the maids.

Mingyue was surprised and happy. Before she could speak, Dongmei spit at her and said as if she looked down on her: "Hey! Isn't this Miss Mingyue? I thought you were popular in the crape myrtle garden. I’m drinking spicy food and I’m already so happy that I can’t think of Shu. Why do you still think of looking for our young lady today?”

Facing her harsh words, Mingyue did not dare to refute at all. She looked at Huo Jiuge, who was the most conspicuous in the middle. The rain was much lighter than before, like a thread, separating her from the person opposite. , the bright yellow lantern shone on Huo Jiuge's body, making her even more beautiful and delicate, but her eyes were extremely cold.

Huo Jiuge glanced at the injury on Mingyue's forehead, and then said: "It seems that you have suffered a lot from the Qin family, but why do you think of me now? If I had worked hard in the past, I might have been able to save it. You were spared your life, but you only thought of looking for me after you caused such a big trouble. Tell yourself, is it too late?"

Mingyue was completely unable to lift her head from what she said. She murmured: "The second lady is cruel and ruthless. If I don't agree, she will attack my family. I have to listen!"

She blamed all the faults on Mrs. Qin, saying that she was threatened by her before doing things for her. She thought that this would arouse Huo Jiuge's compassion, but who knew that after listening to her? After his words, he just chuckled and then shook his head slightly.

"Then according to what you said, everyone in Hexiang Courtyard has been threatened by the Qin family? If this is the case, wouldn't it be a great blessing for me, Huo Jiuge, to be able to survive to this day safely?"

Mingyue was stunned.

Regarding this matter, Qiu Chan also packed up all her things, most of which were the benefits she got from the Qin family. Qiu Chan threw these things in front of her eyes and asked her to take her things and get out. Come here again to disturb my lady's rest.

Seeing that they turned around and were about to leave, Mingyue suddenly panicked, "This slave once made public what the second lady did for the sake of the young lady. Can the young lady just bear to watch me being sold to a brothel?"

After hearing her words, Huo Jiuge paused, but there was no moved look on his face. She turned her back to Mingyue and said: "You took her most beloved daughter to the bitter cold Zenxi Temple. She Being able to spare your life is considered a great kindness. If you are a smart person, you should find a decent way to leave instead of asking me to save you here."

After she said this, she left without turning her head.

The girl who closed the door finally looked at her coldly, and then closed the door mercilessly.Looking at the property and jewelry scattered on the ground, Mingyue felt deep despair in her heart.

Huo Jiuge, who returned to the house, took the hot tea handed over by Dongmei. She did not drink it immediately, but held it in her hand to warm her hands.

"In the face of that kind of treacherous villain, the lady can just send her away, so why bother dealing with her?" Qiu Chan didn't understand. After hearing Mingyue's voice, her lady must insist on going out and seeing it for herself. look.

She was obviously the seller who wanted to be honored first, but now that something happened, she still licked her face and begged her own lady to save her. I really don’t know where she got the shame!

Huo Jiuge took a sip of tea and said, "The worse her fate is now, the more serious the consequences of betraying me will be known to some people."

"The Qin family will definitely make some moves later. After this incident, I want to see how many people will work for her!" Huo Jiuge's tone was neither salty nor light, but Qiu Chan and Dong Mei listened. But it feels extra weighty.

Since the second room moved into the Duke Rong's mansion, the people in the first room have been walking and running. Now Huo Jiuge only has two loyal maids, Qiu Chan and Dong Mei, and all the others. They were all people coming from various courtyards.

There must be people like Mingyue who are fastidious, but after today's incident, if they want to do things for the Qin family again, they will still consider what will happen if they are discovered.

Qin's methods are vicious, but her lady is not a soft persimmon who can be bullied by others!
It rained heavily all night, and the weather cleared up the next day.

After the girl who was keeping watch at Ziwei Garden woke up, she went to open the window in Qin's room as usual to let in fresh air. However, the moment she opened the window, she saw a person hanging from the beam, and she was frightened. She couldn't keep her body steady. When she ran away in a panic, she tripped over the threshold and fainted.

Mrs. Qin on the bed didn't know what happened. After putting on some clothes, she got up and prepared to check the situation.

But at this time, a gust of wind blew outside, and the person on the beam just turned around and came face to face with Mrs. Qin.

I don't know when Mingyue hung here. Her death appearance was very miserable. Because she had been exposed to the rain, her face was pale, but blood was still oozing out of her forehead. The contrast between red and white was extremely obvious.

Her eyes were not closed, and they were now facing Qin.

Even though Mrs. Qin had seen the world like this, she was still frightened and fainted when she saw this scene.

The maids and servants outside heard the movement inside the house and ran in quickly. After a while of fussing, Ms. Qin woke up. But as soon as she opened her mouth, she knew that someone was trying to harm her, and she fell into a state of madness.

Before Mr. Huo learned about this, he just shook his head with a look of regret. Seeing that Mrs. Qin could no longer take care of the affairs of the house, he handed over the stewardship to his third aunt Lin Shu. He also asked Huo Jiuge to help manage the finances of the house.
