Chapter 70
Huo Jiuge looked at her grandfather in front of her. She stopped awkwardly, and then called out: "Grandpa."

"Yeah." Although the old man didn't say anything wrong with her in front of her, the expression on his face showed his dissatisfaction with her behavior. You know, as a lady, she came home so late. A big mistake has been made.

Just when Huo Jiuge was thinking about how to explain to him, Pei Jingxing got off the carriage on the other side. He said to her grandfather in front of Huo Jiuge: "It is said that the family education in the Duke of Rongguo is very strict. This lady said The daughter of Duke Rongguo's palace has appeared in Juxing Tower. I couldn't do anything at the moment, so I brought her here. If I have caused any trouble, please forgive me, Admiral Huo."

Pei Jingxing's respectful attitude was completely different from the image people had of him as being unkind. His eyes fell on Huo Jiuge and he saw all the expressions on her face.

Mr. Huo resigned from office because of an accident many years ago that left him suffering from serious health problems. Now that he heard someone call him "Admiral Huo" again, his heart surged like a tide.

"Jiu Ge is naughty, please let Mr. Pei worry about it." Mr. Huo looked at the young man in front of him. Although he was no longer an official in the court, he was still aware of the complicated and tortuous relationships in the court.

Huo Jiuge looked at Pei Jingxing with resentful eyes, as if complaining about why he didn't mean what he said.

Mr. Huo is an old-fashioned person. If he knew that not only did she come home so late, but also went to a restaurant, she would probably be scolded again.

And why the other party does it even if they know this, it is obvious that they want to put themselves into a place of injustice.

When Pei Jingxing received the look she sent him, he not only refused to accept it, but also added fuel to the fire and said: "Since Miss Huo has arrived home safely, I won't bother you anymore." He said He was about to leave, but he suddenly stopped when he turned around, and then added as if he remembered something: "Although the capital has been busy all night during the Shangsi Festival these past few days, it is easy to be targeted by gangsters because of the mixed fish."

His eyes fell on Huo Jiuge, his expression was solemn and dignified, as if an elder was admonishing a younger generation.

"Thank you for reminding me, sir. Jiu Ge will never go out so late again in the future. I will repay you for today's kindness. Now that it is getting late, please walk slowly!" Huo Jiuge faced She said these words with a smile, but if she looked carefully, she found that her smile was on her face like a mask, and the curve of the corners of her mouth even made her feel cold.

However, this is in line with her age. In Pei Jingxing's eyes, she is like a cub who has just faced the world alone. When in danger, she directly reveals her most ferocious appearance and tries to Scare away anyone who is going to harm it.

Unfortunately, her move has no deterrent effect on real wolves, tigers and leopards.

Soon, Mr. Huo stopped her behavior loudly: "Jiu Ge! Don't be rude to Mr. Pei!"

Just like that, the originally ferocious cub was so frightened that it put away its claws and then showed a soft and cute face.

Seeing her transformation, Pei Jingxing smiled and said, "Miss Huo is really outspoken! As expected of a general, she is really outspoken."

"Master Pei, that's ridiculous. Jiuge is just worried that if you go back too late, you will be targeted by some bad guy." Huo Jiuge returned his words intact.

After saying this, she turned to Mr. Huo and said, "Grandpa, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"Yes." Mr. Huo was afraid that she would say something unpleasant if she stayed here, so he nodded in agreement.

After getting his approval, Huo Jiuge immediately left the Shura field. Now Pei Jingxing and Mr. Huo were left. Out of gratitude, Mr. Huo invited Pei Jingxing to drink tea at his house before leaving.

Pei Jingxing looked at the figure that was about to disappear before his eyes and said, "It's getting late now. I have important matters to deal with, so I won't bother you this time."

Seeing what he said, Mr. Huo didn't try to persuade him to stay. He just asked someone to prepare a gift and send it to his house, which could be used as a thank you gift for sending Huo Jiuge back this time.

Huo Jiuge had just walked to the gate of Hexiang Courtyard when he saw the two figures looking around outside the gate.It was Qiu Chan and Dong Mei. Ever since Huo Jiuge jumped off the carriage without any explanation and chased the mysterious man she saw in the crowd, these two girls had been worried about her safety.

Seeing that their young lady came back so late, Qiu Chan and Dong Mei gathered around her as soon as they saw her. They didn't put down their hands until they confirmed that she was really intact and fine.

"Miss, where have you been? My slaves are worried about you." Dongmei's eyes were red. It seemed that she was too excited after seeing herself just now.

Huo Jiuge touched her head and comforted her: "I'm back in good health."

"Miss, next time if you encounter something like today, you can just tell me. There is no need for you to take risks yourself." Qiu Chan is a little more mature than Dongmei. She knows that her young lady must have her own reasons for doing this. Reason, but even so, she didn't want her to be in danger.

When Huo Jiuge saw that the two girls were so loyal, all the haze in his heart was cleared. At this moment, Qiu Chan saw her messy hair and asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

After her reminder, Huo Jiuge realized that he had lost his hairpin. He probably accidentally dropped it while fighting with the mysterious man. It was a pity that he only wore such a good hairpin once and then lost it.

"It's okay, I just accidentally squeezed in when there were many people."

"Do you want me to go look for you?"

"No need." Huo Jiuge shook his head and said, "I don't know where it fell. It's already so late. It's not safe for you to go out. It must have been picked up long ago."

Hearing what Huo Jiuge said, Qiu Chan said with a hint of regret: "Miss likes this hairpin so much, it would be a pity to lose it."

"It's okay." Huo Jiuge said nonchalantly: "More important than the hairpin is your safety. If you drop it, just drop it."

She pulled Qiu Chan and Dongmei into the Hexiang Courtyard with them. At this time, she brought a message from the Ziwei Courtyard.

"Miss, the second lady has taken the eldest lady back to her parents' home."

"And isn't Madam's natal family home in Jiaozhou? It's thousands of miles away, wouldn't it take several months to come back?" Dongmei thought that in the past few months, without Qin's interference, their life would not be easy. Do you know how moisturizing it is?

But Haitang's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing her hope.

"I heard that the second wife's brother has been promoted. He has been appointed to the Ministry of War in the past few days. Now they have moved their family to the capital. Even Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin have come with them."

Huo Jiuge learned the news that they would move to the capital from Mrs. Qin last time, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

Now the real ledger is still unknown where Qin's family has hidden it, and he has been reminded by the system to save someone, and he doesn't know who that person is.

After thinking about it again and again, she decided to settle everything while Qin was away from the Rongguo Palace.
