Chapter 7
The situation in the harem is as strange as ice floes on the ice. No one knows what is hidden in the deep sea.

But it didn't matter what happened to her, Huo Jiuge thought in her heart. She had cleared her suspicions and told them how to save the queen. There was no need for her to stay in the palace anymore.

When she left the palace, it snowed heavily, and the traces of the carriage were quickly covered up.

Huo Jiuge looked out through the curtains. The carriage had already left the palace gate. However, Zhuque Street, which used to be bustling in the past, seemed extremely desolate at this moment. There was not even a pedestrian on the road, not even the shops next to the street. They are also closed.

It seems that this plague is indeed serious, and now the entire capital is on alert.

Although the system has not assigned her a task yet, Huo Jiuge, as a doctor, will not just let it go. However, due to her current status, she cannot move freely for the time being.

Just when she was thinking about how to disguise her identity, the carriage passed through Zhuque Street and arrived at the Rongguo Duke's Mansion in the blink of an eye.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned home, he heard his personal maid Qiu Chan coming to report in a hurry: "Miss, the old general said he wanted to see you and asked you to go to the front hall."

"Oh? Grandpa is looking for me, okay, I'll be there right away." After coming back, Huo Jiuge hurried to the front hall before he could make any adjustments.

As soon as I entered the front hall, I saw that it was full of people. Uncle, aunt, cousins, cousins, and the uncle's side room were all included. What kind of fuss was going on?

"Bad girl! You still don't kneel down!" The old man in a black brocade robe had a majestic look on his face and a fearsome look in his eyes. This is the old general of the Huo family. Although he is over seventy years old, he is still very strong.

The emperor's imperial edict arrived before Huo Jiuge. Now everyone knows about her annulment. Among them, there are those who are gloating over the misfortune and some who are ready to add insult to injury.
"Grandpa, Jiuge doesn't know what's wrong with him?" Huo Jiuge asked calmly.

Everyone looked at her in surprise. Ever since Huo Jiuge's parents passed away, she had been fostered in her maternal ancestral home in Jinling. Over time, her character had become weak and dull. How had she ever disobeyed her elders like this?

Is it true that once you enter the palace, your courage will be strengthened?

"Jiuge, are you confused?" The first person to speak was a plump woman with a rosy complexion. She looked kind and amiable, and she was a fair and strict master. She was Huo Jiuge's aunt - Qin Shi.

At this time, she exhorted with a somewhat anxious look on her face: "The emperor's imperial edict has been sent to the palace. We didn't know that you caused such trouble in the palace. The master was also in a hurry, so he did this to you. With such a stern tone, how can I really punish you?"

In just one sentence, she put the reputation of disobedience to his elders and unfilial piety on Huo Jiuge.

After Huo Jiuge's parents passed away, her grandfather began to trust the second-fang family of the concubine, and even let them move into the Rongguo Duke's mansion, taking care of the whole house in the name of filial piety. At the same time, they did not She forgot to suppress and exclude the original owner, which made General Huo, who always favored boys over girls, even less interested in seeing her granddaughter.

Now she pretends to care in front of everyone in order to maintain her reputation as a virtuous and virtuous person.

When General Huo saw that Huo Jiuge had not moved yet, he lost all dignity on his face.

He yelled loudly: "You are still rebelling against God! Come here, please bring justice to the family. Today I will personally teach this unfilial daughter a lesson!" "Grandpa was angry because of the divorce between me and the third prince, and even wanted to take the family away. Will the law punish me?" Huo Jiuge did not change her attitude because he asked for family law, she still asked calmly.

"Don't you know that this engagement was made by your father and brother who were stationed at the border and fought tooth and nail for you? Now you can cancel it as soon as you say cancel it. Have you ever thought about what your father's spirit in heaven would think?" Mr. Huo stared at Huo Jiuge. , sharp words.

It's a pity that Huo Jiuge was not frightened by him. "Is grandpa angry that I can't explain to my father, or is he angry that he will never be able to climb the high branches of the royal family from now on?"

"You..." Mr. Huo didn't expect that she would be so rebellious, and his beard almost stood up in anger.

At this time, he couldn't wait for Jia Fa, so he raised his hand and was about to hit her, but fortunately, he was stopped by Qin on the side. "

"Father, please don't get angry. Jiuge is still young. As elders, we need to give more advice. Since the Emperor's decree is hereby issued, this matter is irreversible. Now the whole world knows that the daughter of our Huo family has been annulled. I am guessing the reason, but now the most important thing is how to stop Youyou's mouth. Father, our Huo family has a strict family tradition, and the daughters who have not left the court are all ladies, how can we withstand such rumors?" Although the first half of the eldest aunt's words It seems to be excusing Huo Jiuge, but the next few words clearly push her to the forefront.

In addition to Huo Jiuge, the legitimate granddaughter, the Huo family also has four second-born daughters. Among them, Huo Qingshang, the second-born daughter-in-law, is known as the most talented woman in the capital.

Compared to the good-for-nothing original owner, she is the apple of the eye of the entire Huo family.

After hearing this, Mr. Huo glanced at Huo Qingshang and several other grandchildren standing aside, and immediately became even more disgusted with Huo Jiuge.

"Look at what good things you have done!" He pointed at Huo Jiuge and scolded: "It's just that you don't want to make progress, and you also bring shame on the entire Huo family with you. How did our Huo family teach you to be like this? An unfilial descendant!" The old man looked distressed, and at this moment the servants took out the family law.

There are two kinds of family laws in the Huo family. One is a military stick in the military camp, which is specially used to punish men who make mistakes; the other is a two-finger-thick thorn stick, which is specially used to punish women who make mistakes.

There are countless barbs on the thorns. Once the stick is removed, the skin and flesh of the hand will inevitably be torn, and it may even leave permanent scars.

The old man held the family law in his hands and asked for the last time: "Do you realize you are wrong?"

"Jiuge is right!" Huo Jiuge looked up at Mr. Huo without any fear, her eyes full of determination, and she said: "If I am wrong about the third prince Chengquan and cousin Qingshang, then I admit it; but If you think that my annulment has disgraced the Huo family, then you won’t even admit it even if you beat me to death!"

Mr. Huo cracked his whip.

The girl opposite didn't know where to start. The expression on her face was no longer dull and silly, but was replaced by a calm determination and a faint sense of distance, like a general commanding the three armies. Makes you tremble suddenly.

"What did you say?" Mr. Huo put down what he was holding with a puzzled look on his face, as if he planned to ask questions before taking action.

"Grandpa, you'd better ask cousin Qingshang about this matter. After all, she is the third prince's favorite person!" Huo Jiuge bent his eyes and looked at Huo Qingshang, who had been watching the show.
