Chapter 84 Aunt’s Counterattack 1
After Mrs. Zhong heard what she said, she said calmly: "That's good. With such a virtuous and generous mistress as my sister, the children raised by nature will not be much different. Since the date has been set, then Do as you wish, Wan Fang."

She obviously wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper and leave all the mess to Qin Wanfang. Listening to the side, Mrs. Qin also felt that her approach was a bit excessive, so she interrupted: "As Zhongbai's biological mother, you are so old. You have to be more careful about things, Wan Fang has to take care of the Rongguo Palace and is also busy with her daughter's wedding, how can she take care of so many things?"

After listening to Mrs. Qin's words, Mrs. Zhong just pretended to sweep her sleeves, and then said with the same expression: "Who in the whole capital knows that Wan Fang has outstanding abilities. He has kept his brother's house in order for so many years. It's just There are some things I don’t know whether to say or not.”

She paused here deliberately and looked at Qin meaningfully.

Mrs. Qin's heart skipped a beat. She knew the methods of this sister-in-law. Because she was backed by the richest man in Jiaozhou, she acted in a fast-paced manner and was not taken seriously by anyone. Although she had some temperament when she arrived in the capital. She restrained herself, but after all, she was at fault this time, so Qin was still a little frightened by what she was going to say next.

But even so, she still had to pretend to be calm and said: "There are no outsiders here, sister-in-law, just say it's okay."

"Since Wan Fang has said so, don't blame me for talking too much."

Mrs. Qin nodded slightly, indicating that she wouldn't take it to heart.

"Although all the elders of the Huo family are dead, they still have two children left. I don't think the fifth lady is as smart as a 14-year-old girl, let alone that she is still alive. You have an elder brother who has made great achievements in border warfare. And I see that your old man is obviously partial to the two children born in the first house. Even if you have the power of the housekeeper now, there is no guarantee that one day he will be taken away by that girl. When the time comes, all your hard work over the years will be spent on making wedding clothes for others!"

After Zhong finished speaking, Mrs. Qin stood up and said, "Your sister-in-law is right. That girl named Huo Jiuge is quirky and sharp-tongued. She may be hiding a lot of evil."

Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Qin are both old foxes who have been in charge of the inner house for many years. Now they both feel that Huo Jiuge is such a girl. It seems that she will definitely not be able to keep her.

In order to prevent her from turning into a man-eating beast in the future, she must be strangled in the cradle before her claws grow out!

Mrs. Qin chatted with the two for a few more words. It was noon when she left, and the sun reached its highest point. She stepped out of the threshold, and an unobstructed sun fell on her.

The sun that used to feel so warm in the past became dazzling at this moment. Qin gritted her teeth, not knowing what she was thinking.

On the other side, when Huo Jiuge found out the money that the Qin family had obtained from the Duke of Rongguo over the years, she closed her account book. When she heard that Huo Qingwu was getting married this time, she had prepared a large dowry. , she decided to sit in Huo Qingwu's yard.

But Qiu Chan stopped her from behind: "Miss, Fourth Miss, she-" She stopped mid-sentence, then looked at Huo Jiuge, hoping she wouldn't go.

Nowadays, it is said in the house that Huo Qingwu was the one who blocked the disaster for her. Originally, her young lady had a bad relationship with her, and now that something like this happened, why should he go to her to scold her?

But Huo Jiuge didn't look back. She said nonchalantly: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cub? Let's go, I have a way to escape unscathed!"

Huo Jiuge happened to meet Lin Shu on the way, who was also going to visit Huo Qingwu. When the two knew that the other's destination was the same as his, they walked together.

Huo Qingwu's yard smelled of strong Chinese medicine as soon as she walked in. It seemed that this incident had a huge physical and mental impact on her. Her mother was now taking care of her without taking off her clothes.

After hearing that they were coming, he immediately came out to greet them.She sat down with the two of them, and then asked the maid to pour tea. Although she was born as a maid, she still had a bit of a master's temperament under the influence of her ears and eyes, especially after her daughter encountered such a thing. , she realized that now she could only rely on herself to help Huo Qingwu get over this blow.

"What a coincidence that you two came here. Qing Wu has just taken medicine and is resting. I'm sorry that I made you travel all the way in vain." Although the second aunt is not as young and beautiful as Lin Shu, she is still She also looks very delicate, but the non-stop work in the past few days has made her look a little tired, especially the dark spots under her eyes. It seems that she has never had a good sleep since Huo Qingwu's accident. Go to sleep.

Hearing what she said, everyone understood what she meant. Lin Shu said, "It doesn't matter. Since the fourth lady has gone to bed, it's a good idea for us to come here to accompany our sister."

Although Lin Shu was favored by Huo Ren, she entered the palace later than him, so he was worthy of calling her sister.

They were still chatting, but the girl on the other side had already told her the news about their visit to Huo Qingwu. When she heard Huo Jiuge's name from the maid's mouth, Huo Qingwu immediately seemed to be crazy. She She pulled the quilt on her body and threw all the pillows off the bed. Although no one could hear the words coming out of her mouth clearly, she could still feel her anger.

Her movement was quickly spread to the front hall. The expression on Lin Shu's face was awkward for a moment. She glanced at Huo Jiuge subconsciously, but she still saw the same expression of neither salt nor blandness. She didn't seem to feel anything at all. Awkward.

Lin Shu immediately concluded that the 14-year-old girl in front of her was definitely not as simple as she seemed.

Anyone encountering this kind of situation would feel uneasy like herself, and even want to escape, but she seemed not to hear the movement coming from inside at all; she was also completely unaware of the other person's disgust, if not for it. He is really stupid and ignorant, but his emotions and anger cannot be expressed through expression.

In the past, she would have believed that she was really stupid, but after so many incidents, she felt more like the golden Bodhisattva on the high platform.

No matter how much people in the audience poured dirt on her, she always maintained that decent smile, just like a fake.

The second aunt walked into the room and leaned over to comfort her for a while before she allowed Huo Qingwu to calm down.

When she came out again, Lin Shu was gone. Huo Jiuge explained to her that something had happened temporarily and she needed to rush over to deal with it.

The second aunt nodded to express her understanding.

She returned to her seat, took a sip of tea, then looked at Huo Jiuge and said, "It's been a long time since we last met, and the fifth girl has become even more beautiful."

"My aunt is so impressed." Huo Jiuge smiled, and then said to her, "Second aunt has not changed much in these years, just like when I left the house."

"Since I married the master, I have been guarding that small area. The saying that one day in the cave and three years in the world is probably what I am talking about."

When she said this, her tone was a little sad.

Huo Jiuge was about to open his mouth to comfort him, but he heard her ask: "Is Fifth Miss' nightmare better?"
