Huo Huaiyu's question interrupted Old Lady Lin and Madame Li. Huo Mingzhu had long noticed his grandmother's displeasure, but he still tolerated Huo Huaiyu's words and actions, as if he did not feel that it was inappropriate.

As expected, Madame Li was slightly embarrassed as she said: "Huai Yu is slowly growing up. Looking at her today, she looks somewhat similar to A Jin, but she's a sister after all. In Yun Shan's family letter, there was also an order to send greetings to his aunt and uncle, how could he forget his little cousin?

How could Huo Mingzhu not hear Madame Li's perfunctory words? If there really was a reference to Huo Huaiyu in the Yun Shan Cousin's family book, then she should have been the one who reminded him. Yun Shan had always been a careless person, and had only studied the art of war. She had written a letter to his family countless times. With her brotherly and sisterly relationship with Yun Shan, Huo Huaiyu would overestimate himself if he wanted to interfere!

But Huo Huaiyu seemed to not have noticed, and asked: "Aunt, then when will Cousin return? I was cooped up at home all day. I really envied my sister for being able to stay in Fringe City and enjoy all the scenery! For those local people, if Cousin could tell me about them, it would be really good! "

"This ?" Madame Li didn't know how to reply.

"Yu Er, don't ask any further ?" Lin Ruyi hurriedly stood up, and angrily berated Huo Huaiyu. Unexpectedly, it was too late, Old Lady Lin's face had already darkened, he took his walking stick and heavily knocked it on the ground: "Daughter in the pavilion, when you know about matters such as being gentle, gentle and virtuous, when you don't step out of the door, and properly become a young miss, that's right. Ru Yi, how did you teach your daughter? Do you think Fringe City is a paradise on earth? Or did he think that men fighting on the battlefield was a joke? My Lin Family has protected our nation for generations. There are too many men who died on the battlefield, and some of them are even unable to return home. "Humph!"

Old Lady Lin's sudden change in expression scared Huo Huaiyu silly. Just as she was about to stand up and apologize to her grandmother, her mother, Lin Ruyi, suddenly slapped her with her palm.

"Mother?" Huo Huaiyu covered his face in disbelief, and turned to look at Lin Ruyi. Lin Ruyi was so angry that his face was flushed red, and tears had even flowed down. He did not even look at her, and only said to Old Lady Lin: "Mother, I did not teach Huai Yu well enough, and made her be willful and arrogant, but if you want to punish her, then punish me."

Originally, Huo Mingzhu wanted to hug Huo Huaiyu, who was beaten up easily, but he could not hug her anymore. Seeing that his mother had taken over all of his faults, the Second Miss did not feel that it was wrong, her arrogant temper rose, and no matter what happened, she stomped her feet: "Mother, you might as well beat me to death! "Sob, sob, sob, sob ?"

She did not stay and wait for Lin Ruyi to attack her. She covered her face and ran outside.

"Huaiyu, come back!" Lin Ruyi turned his head to give chase.

Huo Mingzhu stood up immediately and helped Lin Ruyi up, pretending to comfort her: "Mother, don't go, let me go. Huai Yu is young, but she still needs her face, you really shouldn't hit her, she's definitely sad, I'll go take a look."

"A Jin is still the wisest." Old Lady Lin turned his head, he was extremely disappointed in Huo Huaiyu, and did not have any intention of retreating.

Huo Mingzhu indicated to everyone, then chased after them. She might not really want to chase after Huo Huaiyu, so she walked around the house leisurely. When it was about time, she pulled a little girl and asked: "Did you see Miss Yu?"

The little girl said, "I saw Miss Yu run out of the manor while crying. It seems like she was wronged. I went to pull her, but I couldn't."

Huo Mingzhu then came to the door, upon seeing her, Housekeeper Lin came to welcome her: "Miss A Jin, then Miss Yu told the coachman to take her back to the General's House first. I did not dare stop her, so I had someone else escort her, what is going on?"

Huo Mingzhu's heart was as heavy as water. She sighed with her sister's identity, "Uncle Lin, that girl, Huai Yu, was spoiled so badly by my mother that she ran out after feeling wronged. I've searched the entire house, but I haven't seen her.

"So that's how it is. If both of them are as sensible as Miss A Jin, Second Miss would be able to relax. " Lin Zhong sighed.

"Sigh, now that Huaiyu has gone back, I can only go in and tell mother and grandmother. Uncle Lin, you're busy." Huo Mingzhu said as he returned to his grandmother's garden.

Just as Huo Mingzhu walked past the window, she heard a burst of scolding, and her footsteps unconsciously slowed down ?

"Mother, I'm also your biological daughter, and I'm also a young lady from the Hou Mansion. But you're so biased, treating me like this in front of your sister-in-law and servants. Where do you want me to put my face?!"

It was Lin Ruyi's voice.

Huo Mingzhu didn't want to listen to the sounds coming from the corner, but seeing that her mother, who was always so kind and gentle, was actually so agitated, Huo Mingzhu faintly felt that she might hear some things that she didn't know in the past. She looked around, and seeing that no one was around, she hid in the lush vegetation.

"I'm old for your mother, but I'm not stupid!"

The grandmother's voice was different from usual, obviously she was extremely dissatisfied with Lin Ruyi.

"My old woman only has you and Ru Jin as her daughters, but think of all the disgraceful things you did with your brother-in-law! If not for the fact that you had an affair with Huo Zhengde in your pavilion, your seriously ill sister would have died and left the two year old A Jin behind? You're still mentioning your face to me?! If you truly have face, then you should think about the Lin Family, think about your sister! " Huo Mingzhu, who was crouching in the bushes, almost fell down. Was there something wrong with her ears? What was Grandmother talking about?

"Your sister died of illness, but you didn't get pregnant first. I discussed this with your brother and had no choice but to marry you into the Huo Family. You are obviously taking care of the Huo Family's widower and weak girl for your sister. Yet you, as the wife of a general, gave birth to a little girl, and sent your sister's weak daughter to Fringe City! How can you be so ruthless?! "

"Sending Ming Zhu to Fringe City is not my intention! It was Granny who found someone to make a divination, saying that Ming Zhu's fate was to bring death with her, and if she is kept by my side, the entire Huo family might be in danger of disaster, otherwise, how could I send my sister's child away? All these years, I loved her as if she was my own flesh and blood. I have even arranged for her to eat and drink medicine at Fringe City. Why would my mother think that I have mistreated her sister's flesh and blood?! " Lin Ruyi retorted, with a hint of tears in his voice.

"If you really care about A Jin, my old woman wouldn't ask for you to do anything. You would hold a adult ceremony for her, and all her relatives and friends would come to watch, to choose a good marriage for her. When the time comes, my old woman will bury herself in the ground, and I can give your sister an explanation! "
