Sheng Chong Jinghua: There is room for the legitimate daughter of the miracle doctor

Chapter 9 Pretending to be Poor

Although Mr. Huo is a military commander, what he pays most attention to is the ethics and etiquette of self-restraint and etiquette. Although he does not like Huo Jiuge, his granddaughter, he must maintain her dignity as his legitimate daughter in front of others.

"Explain this matter to me clearly. I, the Huo family, will never tolerate people with evil intentions making trouble!" Mr. Huo said to Huo Qingshang with a serious face.

This was the first time in so many years that the old man had been so stern with her, and all this was thanks to Huo Jiuge. Unknowingly, she had offended the entire second room.

Huo Qingshang used her pitiful advantage. She said that she just met the third prince by chance at the Lantern Festival. There were many guests at the time, and everyone could testify to her that she had not done anything out of line.

As for the purse Huo Jiuge mentioned, it was not given to the third prince by himself. It was just halfway through the banquet that there was a sudden commotion for some unknown reason. The purse may have been dropped at that time and then picked up by someone.

After hearing this, Mr. Huo fell into deep thought. At this moment, a childish voice sounded: "He is obviously the third prince. He doesn't like you, so he deliberately found this excuse to break off the engagement with you. The eldest sister is prettier than you, even if it's me, I will choose her instead of you!"

The person who said this was Huo Changbai, the youngest son of the second wife of the Huo family. He was only seven years old. Under the influence of his parents, he didn't have any respect for his cousin Huo Jiuge.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ms. Qin immediately scolded him: "Who taught you this! How dare you treat your cousin like this? If word gets out, others will blame me as a mother for not disciplining her children well. He slanders people casually and ruins the reputation of Duke Rongguo!"

She was disciplining her children both inside and outside of her words, but upon closer inspection, she was mocking Huo Jiuge because both of her parents had died and no one taught her the rules.

Hearing this, Huo Jiuge showed a disdainful expression on her lips. She said: "Auntie is wrong. Changbai has no rules. Others will only say that they are members of the Yushi family and do not know how to educate. What does it have to do with our Duke Rongguo?" relation."

As soon as these words came out, Qin's face suddenly turned pale.

She wanted to speak out something to refute, but Huo Jiuge snatched her words away, "If you follow what Changbai said, and everyone pursues appearance and no one cares about inner talent, wouldn't the world be in chaos? You Saying this kind of thing puts aside the rules and laws, where does the ethical code fit in?"

Huo Jiuge looked at Huo Changbai coldly. His cold eyes were like a sharp blade piercing him, scaring him so much that he didn't dare to say another word.

Although Huo Qingwu on the side didn't understand why Huo Jiuge had changed so much, seeing that the second roommate of the Huo family was being bullied by her, she was ready to join the verbal battle, but she saw her mother gesturing to her with her eyes. After telling her not to talk nonsense, she just stood there and didn't speak again.

At this time, Huo Ren stood up and said, "Father, you have watched Qing Shang grow up, and you also know her character. Has she ever done anything out of line? There may be some misunderstanding here. Jiuge just said After returning from the palace, she has experienced the shock of breaking off the engagement again, so we’d better let her rest first.”

As expected of someone who has been in the officialdom for many years, his words not only preserved Huo Qingshang's reputation, but also appeased Huo Jiuge. It was a win-win situation.

Seeing that the old man was thinking about his proposal seriously and was about to turn over the matter, Huo Jiuge said: "Cousin Qingshang was raised by my grandfather, so you believe that she will not do anything harmful. Things that have damaged the Huo family’s face, and I was raised in my maternal grandfather’s house in Jinling since I was a child, so do you think all this is my fault?”

Who doesn't know how to pretend to be pitiful? This body obviously has a greater advantage than the pampered Huo Qingshang.

The original owner was less than 15 years old. He was not as tall as the other children in the Huo family, and his face was rounder. In addition to his usual timid character, he looked several years younger than his actual age. Now he speaks with a crying voice. , the appearance makes people feel distressed.The elders present immediately noticed a hint of embarrassment, especially Mr. Huo. He even didn't dare to look at the look Huo Jiuge gave him.

Such a large room was eerily quiet.

Only then did Qin realize that the Huo Jiuge in front of her was no longer the obedient and silly girl before. The girl's face still had the tenderness and youthfulness of a child, and her pair of dark eyes were as watery as grapes. .

Huo Jiuge's eyes are very beautiful, big almond-shaped eyes, as ignorant as a deer in the mountains, but his expression is dull on weekdays, which fails to live up to the aura of his eyes.

Nowadays, those deer eyes are still round, but their expressions are very different, showing some determination.

Mrs. Qin was shocked. She didn't know why, but she felt an indescribable fear in her heart. She was actually afraid that given time, the girl in front of her would compare to her daughter.

She couldn't help but feel scared when she thought of this. After she realized it, she quickly took her little hand, looked at her with an expression full of pity, and then spoke to her, "We don't blame you here, we just feel sorry for you. That’s all, I thought that your marriage to the Third Prince would guarantee you a lifetime of prosperity, but who knew that you two were destined to be inseparable after all.”

"Since the death of my eldest brother and sister-in-law, we have treated you as our own child. We asked you to go to Jinling because you were the only child in your maternal grandfather's family. If we knew that you would have children with us, If there is a gap, I will not agree to anything you say at the beginning."

Mrs. Qin was very moved when she said it, and even squeezed out tears, making everyone believe that she really cared about Huo Jiuge, her niece.

She blamed all the faults on the original owner's maternal ancestors, thinking that they taught her to say this in order to drive a wedge between their families.

But the fact is that the elders of the original owner's maternal grandfather's family loved her very much, but the original owner's personality was weak, and the family suffered such disasters, which made her even more closed off.

I like to stay in my yard all day long, studying some medical skills and the like.

Of course Huo Jiuge would not tolerate Mrs. Qin pouring dirty water on the original owner’s maternal grandfather’s house. She pulled away the hands held by Mrs. Qin with a calm expression, “My maternal grandfather’s family treated me very well. When I came back, my aunt went out of her way to He told me to change my behavior and get closer to my sisters in the house, but when Jiuge saw cousin Qingshang and his family protecting her like this, he thought of his father and mother."

I don't know why, but after saying this, Huo Jiuge's eyes turned red instantly, and when he looked in everyone's eyes, he suddenly had a different feeling.

Qin's eyes twitched, but a loving smile appeared on her face, and she said a few more high-sounding words, giving people the illusion that the elders love the younger ones.

Huo Jiuge knew that during the years when the original owner was absent, the power of the Qin family had penetrated into the Rongguo Palace. Even her only relative here, Mr. Huo, had been brainwashed by her, and she was weak and fighting alone. , it’s not that easy to bring her down.

Instead of breaking up with her, it would be better to maintain a superficial peace for the time being and think of something later.
