Chapter 8
The girl was wearing a dark floral silk pleated satin skirt and a brocade rabbit fur cloak. The fluffy rabbit fur was piled under her neck, making her small face only as big as a palm, but there was a gentle breeze between her bright eyes and white teeth. The girl's posture is beautiful, but what is more eye-catching is her calm and noble posture, showing everyone's style in every move.

But her father Huo Ren was just a third-grade governor and censor. With his small salary, he could not afford to support such a large family. Moreover, ever since their family moved into the Rongguo Duke's mansion, the mansion had become a mess. .

Huo Jiuge's only brother inherited his father's title and was the youngest major general in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He had been marching and fighting with his father since he was fifteen, and he was a hero of the entire country.

Huo Chengqi has not yet married, but any reward he gets will be handed over to the accounting office of Rongguo Duke's mansion without reservation, and the Qin family will take care of it together.

Looking at the beautiful look on their daughter's face, you can tell how many kickbacks they have received over the years, and all of this should have belonged to the original owner and her brother, but they have occupied the magpie's nest.

Huo Jiuge's words undoubtedly drew the flames of war to Huo Qingshang.

Sure enough, after listening to her words, Mr. Huo turned his attention to Huo Qingshang, "Is everything she said true?"

This was the first time that the old man spoke to her with such an attitude. Huo Qingshang was stunned, with a trace of panic in his eyes. Before she could explain, Mrs. Qin stood up as her mother.

"Jiuge, what are you talking about? As your cousin, how can Qingshang be in love with the third prince? You must have misunderstood something, right? It's nothing in front of us, but don't say this in front of outsiders."

Her meaning was very clear. She clearly meant that Huo Jiuge was ignorant and had ruined her daughter's reputation.

But Huo Jiuge was not the original owner who was frightened by them before. She was not that easy to fool.

Seeing that they refused to admit it, she could only pretend to be surprised and said: "My cousin and the third prince are heartless. Then why did the third prince specifically find me when I entered the palace and asked me to help him and my cousin? What else can I say since then?" When we first met at the Lantern Festival, he couldn't forget his cousin. Knowing that my cousin didn't want to be my concubine, he went out of his way to find me. He said that even if he was punished by the emperor, he would still be with my cousin."

When Huo Jiuge said this, she paused deliberately. She looked at Huo Qingshang and asked, "Has my cousin ever given the third prince a purse?"

Huo Qingshang didn't expect that she would ask him this. Although only he and the maids around him knew about the purse, how did she know?Could it be true, as she said, that the third prince broke off the engagement with her just to marry her?
Then wouldn't she become someone who robbed someone else's husband?

If things get serious, it will definitely damage her image in the hearts of everyone. Maybe the royal family will not be happy with her and the third prince at that time, considering their face.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Huo Jiuge continued: "I didn't believe it at first, but when the third prince took out the token of you and his cousin, and looked at the ingenious craftsmanship on the wallet, there was no one else in the capital except you. There is a second person. You two are so deeply in love that you have already made a private commitment for life."

"Jiuge, have you misunderstood?" Mrs. Qin loudly stopped what Huo Jiuge was going to say next.

Perhaps because she was too anxious, her move caused the old man to frown, but she couldn't care so much at this time. If she didn't stop her, she was afraid that her precious daughter's reputation would be really ruined by Huo Jiuge.

So she said in the midst of everyone's doubtful gazes: "The purse was accidentally dropped by Qing Shang and was picked up by the third prince. How could it become a token of love in your mouth? As the eldest lady of a famous family, when you speak You have to be careful at all times, and you can't let your temper just say whatever comes to your mind." Huo Jiuge couldn't help but laugh when she saw the hypocritical appearance of the person in front of her. At this time, she pretended to be an elder and taught herself the rules. , what did you do in those early years?
As long as she puts one-tenth of her love for her daughter on the original owner, the original owner will not end up unjustly dead in the end.

Huo Jiuge lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong, and said, "If it is really like what you said, aunt, then why did the third prince find out and say those words? Could it be that he really doesn't like Jiuge and would rather be the emperor?" Even if you lie in front of me, you don’t want to be with me?”

Anyway, they didn't know what the real situation was, and it was impossible to find anyone to verify whether what they said was true or false. Huo Jiuge began to pretend to be pitiful.

"But even if the purse was not given to him by his cousin, the third prince's sincerity towards his cousin is genuine. Jiuge knew that without his cousin's alluring appearance and peerless talent, the third prince and I would not be happy together. , it’s better to let go and fulfill his and his sister’s happiness.”

Everyone present was moved when they heard Huo Jiuge's words. Everyone except Huo Qingshang and her mother Qin were moved by her.

Mr. Huo also believed her words. Qin still wanted to struggle, but Huo Jiuge stopped him with words.

"If eldest aunt still doesn't believe Jiu Ge, she might as well ask the third prince in person to see if he really won't marry anyone other than Qingshang's cousin."

The expression on Qin's face froze instantly, and she gritted her teeth and swallowed what she was going to say next.

How could she possibly go to confront the third prince in her identity?She was responsible for arranging for her daughter to make a wonderful appearance during the Lantern Festival. She had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

The second-in-command of the Huo family was not as outstanding as the first-in-command. Huo Ren had worked hard in the officialdom for many years and only reached the third-rank position. Moreover, this official position was reluctantly given to him by the emperor out of consideration for the first-in-law of the Huo family.

Although there are many heirs in the family, none of them can hold a big position. Unlike Huo Chengqi, who inherited his father's title and was granted the title of wolf under the age of 20. Although Mr. Huo also cherishes the children of concubines such as his second wife, but None of them combined could compare to the grandson Huo Chengqi's status in his heart.

Sooner or later, the Rongguo Duke's mansion would be handed over to him, and her years of hard work would finally be handed over to others. How could she agree to this?
Fortunately, there is also Huo Qingshang in their family. Although she is a woman, she is good-looking and is a well-known beauty in the capital. If she is well cultivated, she can marry into a noble family in the future and she will be able to help her father and her husband to some extent. elder brother.

But this time, it was all ruined by the little girl Huo Jiuge. Although Qin didn't show anything on her face, she couldn't hide the sinister look in her eyes.

Huo Jiuge smiled when she saw it. She pretended not to know the pros and cons and congratulated Qin: "Although the third prince and I have terminated our engagement, at least I have fulfilled my cousin's wish."

"My cousin is also one of the top half of the Rongguo Duke's family. Even if my father is still in heaven, he will be happy!"

Huo Qingshang's face turned blue and white as she said it. It was really funny.
