Chapter 96 (Backup) Encounter on the road
When the young master of the Wen family captured Zhou, he grabbed a seal. Everyone said that he would be a pillar in the future. The bustle in the front yard was in stark contrast to the deserted back yard.

Wen Yan was lying on the bed. She followed Huo Jiuge's instructions and pretended not to know anything when she woke up.

Prince Wen came over and took a look at her. Perhaps out of guilt for Wen Yan, he sat by her bed and looked at his daughter sleeping peacefully, feeling a sigh of relief in his heart.

Just when he was about to reach out to smooth the wrinkles on her brow, someone called him outside, saying that the young master's Zhouzhao ceremony had begun, and the lady sent herself to invite him.

Prince Wen had no choice but to get up and leave. When he left, he told the servants around Wen Yan: "Take good care of Miss, things like today can only happen once. If it happens a second time, I will let you all be buried with him!"

After this incident, the people in Fangfeiyuan naturally became more energetic when serving Wen Yan.

After hearing what his father said to the maid and his sigh beside his bed, Wen Yan's tears could no longer be held back and welled up from his eyes.

Because Huo Jiuge saved Wen Yan's life, he naturally became the guest of Duke Wen. Duke Wen praised her endlessly, saying that she was a woman who could not be compared to men. In short, he was full of praise.

After all the guests had dispersed, Huo Jiuge helped Mr. Huo leave. Halfway through, he suddenly stopped.

Huo Jiuge opened the curtain to check the situation, only to see a carriage blocking the way in front of them. Just when she thought it looked familiar, the owner of the carriage also opened the curtain and got out. The two looked at each other. Across the dim night, Huo Jiuge saw a familiar face.

"What happened ahead?" Mr. Huo asked.

"Master Pei's carriage is parked in front. It seems that there must be something wrong." Huo Jiuge put down the curtain and returned to the carriage, talking to the old man about the situation outside.

But when Mr. Huo heard Pei Jingxing's name, he got up and got out of the carriage, and then walked straight towards the people in front. He didn't know what they said, but they all looked at Huo Jiuge.

Mr. Huo waved to her and motioned for her to come down, while the other man's eyes were like the moon hanging in the sky in the dark and dark environment.

She got off the carriage and leaned slightly towards the two of them. Mr. Huo asked her to take them to their house, and then he would ask someone to repair the broken carriage.

Only then did Huo Jiuge understand that it turned out that the carriage of his carriage was broken, so he had no choice but to stop here. A few steps ahead was the Rongguo Duke's mansion, so Mr. Huo suggested that he let him sit in the mansion first and wait. Leave after repairing it.

"Then there's Miss Lao Huo." Pei Jingxing turned sideways and motioned for Huo Jiuge to lead the way.

There are mixed reviews about him from the outside world, but Huo Jiuge feels that the one that fits him the most is the eulogy he wrote at Xiao Taibao's funeral: He walks alone, and others blame him.

Xiao Ju was his mentor. He died of tuberculosis at the age of 34. Xiao Taibao never married and did not leave a single boy or girl behind. He had many disciples. Even Huo Jiuge's brother Huo Chengqi was taught by him. At his funeral, Pei Jingxing even braved the disapproval of the world. He wore mourning clothes and stood in front of a crowd to support Xiao Taibao's soul.

He was 15 years old that year, two years before he was admitted to the imperial examination, and those two eulogies at the beginning also foreshadowed his life.

The two of them walked side by side. Huo Jiuge's height had just reached his shoulders. She pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and said, "Today's incident, if it hadn't been for Mr. Pei's help, many things would have happened, so Jiuge is here." I would like to thank you more, sir."

In fact, as for Wen Yan falling into the water, anyone with any brains knows that the things behind it must not be that simple. Even if the two old servants took advantage of the courage, they would not dare to push the master into the lake. All of this was deliberately instructed by someone. of.But without conclusive evidence, Huo Jiuge and Han Zan alone could not convict her, and they would be bitten back.

Pei Jingxing paused and asked in a low voice, "I wonder how Miss Huo should thank me?"

Huo Jiuge was stunned for a moment, then looked back at him and saw that he didn't look like he was joking. Sir, all she can do is to remember your kindness in her heart, and then pray day and night that her benefactor will be safe and sound, and that everything will turn into good fortune."

Pei Jingxing: "."

After entering the mansion, Huo Jiuge hurriedly asked someone to make tea to entertain the distinguished guests. Then just as she was about to leave, a message came from behind: "If you are afraid of causing trouble, then why does Miss Huo have to wade through this muddy water again?"

Although the main hall was brightly lit, the servant serving tea had already retired, and now only the two of them were left. Pei Jingxing's voice was not loud, but it just happened to fall on Huo Jiuge's ears.

Facing the other party's probing eyes, she said openly: "If I don't care about Miss Wen's safety because of fear, and watch her become an innocent soul in the lake, I'm afraid I will live with guilt and self-esteem for the rest of my life. Responsible."

"I didn't expect you to be so broad-minded. You really have the style of a general, which cannot be matched by ordinary people." Pei Jingxing took a sip of tea, and his brows relaxed as if the clouds in the mountains had been blown away.

"My lord, you are so complimentary. Compared to your great achievements, Jiu Ge is simply insignificant."

"Why should Miss Huo be so modest?" Pei Jingxing put down the tea cup and said, "I am just in my position and seeking political affairs, but Miss Huo is the real counselor who dares to stand up and face everyone."

While the two of them were talking like this, a servant of the Pei family came over to report that the carriage wheels had been repaired.

Pei Jingxing stood up and walked to Huo Jiuge and said, "I heard that the emperor is looking for a maid to accompany the sixth princess these days. With your talent, I would like to give it a try."

"Thank you for the compliment, sir!" Huo Jiuge bowed to him, and then said, "It's just that grandpa has been in poor health recently, and Jiuge just wants to be filial to him."

Seeing her sincere expression, Pei Jingxing stopped trying to persuade him. Perhaps Mr. Huo's health was really as bad as she said, and he would not continue to look for her husband if he didn't.

After Pei Jingxing left completely, Huo Jiuge completely relaxed, but at this moment he heard the anxious voice of the housekeeper: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Following the sound, Huo Jiuge saw Mr. Huo, who was being supported by the housekeeper, vomiting blood from his mouth. He originally wanted to open his mouth to say that he was fine, but a large amount of blood immediately poured out of his mouth.

Huo Jiuge hurriedly ran over to support him, and then told the housekeeper: "Go and call the doctor. Remember to call Lin Tangzhi, Doctor Lin, who has been responsible for diagnosing grandpa."

"Eh - okay, okay." The housekeeper agreed quickly, and Huo Jiuge asked others to carry the old man to the room.
