Chapter 21

The next morning, Huo Mingzhu woke up, and the girl Su Zou came in with a curtain. She said mysteriously: "Miss, there was a thief in the general's house last night. Do you know? It's been a long time! "

Huo Mingzhu got up and washed her face in the water from Suzou. She sat in front of the dressing mirror and waited for her to comb her hair. Looking at the calm face of the beauty in the mirror, she still asked, "Oh? I was so tired last night that I didn't notice. What's missing in the house? "

"No As she combed her hair, she shook her head and said, "I haven't lost anything, but I'm scared. I heard that the old lady was awakened, and the lady was scared too..."

Huo Mingzhu pretended to be worried and asked: "mother is scared? Suzou, please comb my hair. I'm going to see my mother

"Oh, good!" Su Zou is busy with taking care of Huo Mingzhu's hair and putting on her clothes.

Huo Mingzhu hurried to Lin Ruyi's residence, sneering at her. Lin Ruyi really made a fuss. The first night Huo Mingzhu came back, she made such a fuss to her grandmother and mother. Even if it had nothing to do with her, it could be said that her evil spirit was too heavy, right? At that time, naturally, there was an excuse to say that Huo Mingzhu did not agree with the general's mansion.

As soon as Huo Mingzhu entered Lin Ruyi's room, Huo Huaiyu met her and anxiously took Huo Mingzhu's arm: "elder sister, come to see my mother. She was scared last night, but she can't get up today. She scared me, Wuwuwuwu..."

On hearing Huo Huaiyu's cry, Huo Mingzhu was upset. She still touched Huo Huaiyu's head and said, "don't be afraid, Huaiyu. If your sister is here, just give it to her. Has father gone to court? "

"Well, I left early in the morning." Huo Huaiyu should reply.

She lifted the curtain and went to Lin Ruyi's bed. Lin Ruyi had woken up, looked at her face and said, "Pearl, are you here?"

It's hard for Lin Ruyi to spend so much time last night cursing her mother and treat her as if nothing had happened today.

Huo Mingzhu is a hundred times calmer than her. Who can't do the trick of motherhood and filial piety? She wrung a wet handkerchief to wipe Lin Ruyi's face and asked anxiously, "mother, how can you be ill?"

Lin Ruyi closed her eyes and said with a smile, "I'm scared. I'm not in the way."

"My father has been galloping on the battlefield for several decades. With my father on my side, how can I allow my mother to be frightened?" Huo Mingzhu did not understand.

Huo Huaiyu also echoed: "yes, my mother is not with my father?"

Huo Mingzhu sneers in her heart. Lin Ruyi must have practiced witchcraft in the ancestral hall. Huo Huaiyu doesn't even know about it.

When Lin Ruyi saw that they couldn't hide their questions, he explained with a strong smile: "yesterday, when the Pearl came back, I felt something in my heart. I wanted to say a lot to my sister, but I was afraid that your father would feel embarrassed to hear that. So I went to the ancestral hall to worship my sister's throne alone..."

Huo Mingzhu maintained a smile on her face, holding Lin Ruyi's hand and sighing with sincerity: "it turns out that my mother is so kind to me and my dead mother. If my mother has a spirit in heaven, she will protect her mother."

Huo Mingzhu after a night of agitation, listening to Lin Ruyi's words, has been able to calm down, but Lin Ruyi is guilty after all, and trembles all over: "I hope so."

For fear of Lin Ru remembering suspicion, Huo Mingzhu digs the topic: "mother, did the thief last night catch it? How dare you break into my general's house? If you are caught, you will be punished severely! "

Lin Ruyi's heart is in a mess. On the one hand, she is afraid that the witchcraft of the ancestral temple will be discovered, and on the other hand, she is very angry at Huo Mingzhu's words. She is not her own flesh and blood, but the daughter of her sister she hates. She can't dig out her heart and lungs. As long as she is in front of her, she can't be safe. No matter where she is, she can't feel happy.

"It's up to the housekeeper to do these things. Pearl, my mother's head aches. I want to have a rest. " Lin Ruyi closed her eyes and said weakly.

Huo Mingzhu naturally won't be embarrassed with her. She quickly got up and said, "it's OK. My mother likes to have a rest. Let Huaiyu take care of you. I'll go to xiaocixuan and say hello to my grandmother."

At the same time, Lin Ruyi nodded lovingly and let Huo Mingzhu go away.

Huo Huaiyu saw Huo Mingzhu out of the room, some anxious to get up: "mother, I also want to go to xiaocixuan to greet my grandmother..."

Lin Ruyi grabbed her: "good jade, don't go."

"Why? If I don't go to xiaocixuan, my grandmother will like my sister because she has seen her a lot! What should I do then? My grandmother doesn't like me. If she only sees my sister in her eyes, I won't be able to live! " Huo Huaiyu twisted her body, and her eyes were red with anger.

"Yu'er! You hear my mother say that when your sister goes to xiaocixuan now, the old lady will not be happy. Instead, she has no face. She has to walk away in the face of difficulties. Why do you want to get involved? " Lin Ruyi sits up from the bed and pinches Huo Huaiyu's hand.

"Is it?" Huo Huaiyu doesn't understand, but she believes Lin Ruyi's words and sits down beside the bed.

……

Lin Ruyi was right. Huo Mingzhu went to xiaocixuan to greet Mrs. Huo. She didn't get any good looks. Mrs. Huo not only didn't see her, but also dropped her cup. She scolded her through the curtain and said, "I don't know what evil my Huo family has done, but she has been restless all day long! It used to be good. How did you start to be so angry in March? If you are good, you will be a thief! In the long run, who knows what else will happen! "

Huo Mingzhu was standing in the yard. The women who did the rough work couldn't see her, but they didn't dare to make a sound because of the dignity of old lady Huo.

Su Zou couldn't hold her breath. She tugged Huo Mingzhu's hand and said, "Miss, what do you want to hear from the old lady? Isn't this a plain scolding? We didn't live at home before, and something happened as soon as we got back, but what does that have to do with us? "

Old lady Huo continued to throw dishes and cups: "those evil things! Get the hell out of here! If you have an old woman, you will not be allowed to be presumptuous! "

Huo Mingzhu looks at the curtain that blocks her from going. Lin Ruyi thinks that if she comes to touch her grandmother's bad luck, she will go back and admit defeat? This scene of filial piety is not so reliable?

Huo Mingzhu pressed Su Zou's hand, and went to the curtain with a smile: "grandma, don't be angry. Those evil things will be driven out sooner or later. How can living people be forced to die by ghosts? Are you right? If you don't like it, why don't you invite an expert to do a magic work in the mansion? I saw a lot of battles when I was at the border. Try all kinds of talents! "

After that, the sound of throwing dishes in the room stops. Huo Mingzhu pretends that she can't understand the middle of the speech, and old lady Huo can't point to her nose and scold her as an evil spirit. Then she can be more patient than anyone else.

Taking advantage of Mrs. Huo's silence, Huo Mingzhu continued: "grandma, Mingzhu has come to greet you. By the way, I'd like to tell you something about the two aunts coming to the mansion half a month later."

Inside, old lady Huo wanted to throw out the cup and stopped.
