Huo Huaiyu obviously did not want to stay in the Pingyang Mansion Palace for even a second longer. He did not order the carriage of the Marquis Estate to send them off either, and did not hesitate to sit in the same carriage as Huo Mingzhu.

The carriage was narrow and unavoidably swayed. Huo Mingzhu observed Lin Ruyi's face from beginning to end ? ? It was pale white.

Huo Mingzhu pretended not to know anything and asked: "Mother, you're not looking well, are you?"

she asked hypocritically, with a note of deep concern in her voice.

Lin Ruyi turned her head to look into her eyes, but she didn't meet her gaze. She rubbed her forehead and said with a dry smile, "It's alright. I'm probably a bit tired ?" She was afraid that Huo Mingzhu would misunderstand her, so she quickly explained, "Mingzhu, since you're able to come back, mother can finally sleep in peace tonight. When a child was outside, as a mother, it was not always peaceful. Just the slightest disturbance would cause it to think that something was wrong. "Well, you haven't been a mother yet. You probably don't understand.

Huo Mingzhu pretended to be self-reproaching: "It's all because of my daughter's unfilial actions, that caused mother to miss me for ten years. If I knew earlier, mother would have slept soundly, so my daughter should have recovered and returned to your side earlier."

With these words, Lin Ruyi became somewhat silent. After all, she was from a noble family and had been a mistress for more than ten years. She stroked Huo Mingzhu's head calmly and smiled: "Good child, didn't you come back? You will always be able to stay by your mother's side until you are married. "

Huo Mingzhu and Lin Ruyi did not do anything as they traveled through the Palace, laughing merrily from time to time from the palanquin, giving the impression that the mother and daughter were on good terms, and that the young miss was even better off than her own daughter.

When he returned to the general's manor and saw the carriage parked in front of the door, Lin Ruyi heaved a sigh of relief. He asked the servant at the door: "Has Second Miss returned?"

"Madam, you're back."

Huo Mingzhu laughed coldly in his heart, in the end, Huo Huaiyu was still a child. He would run home after suffering from a grievance, and wasn't willing to cause trouble.

"Ming Zhu, let me go take a look at Huai Yu. This girl has a big temper. Your feet are inconvenient, let's go back to the Chenxiang Palace first. When the imperial physician comes, I'll go over. " After Lin Ruyi and Huo Mingzhu entered the Palace, they separated.

Huo Mingzhu smiled without arguing, "Alright."

Watching as Lin Ruyi left anxiously, Huo Mingzhu, supported by Su Lv, went back to Chenxiang Palace, after resting for a while, she heard strange footsteps from outside, mixed with a male voice that she loathed, getting closer and closer.

"Doctor Liu, this way, please."

It was her father, Huo Zhengde.

If her hatred for her father before she died was to hate him for being ungrateful and for betraying her daughter's life for the sake of his name, then her hatred for him had increased by another level ?

From the very beginning, the story of Lin Ruyi's parents' love and his mother's death in order to save her father did not exist. Her righteous father had gotten involved with his wife and sister when his wife was being seriously ill. It was simply like a cruel, unscrupulous, and extremely ungrateful man!

Huo Mingzhu didn't even know what kind of pain her mother had experienced to end her life, but she had experienced this before as well. She should be able to understand how her mother felt when she died.

"Master."

When the servants saw Huo Zhengde, they quickly opened the door and led them in.

"Father is here? Your daughter's feet are so inconvenient, it's hard to pay respects to your father. " Huo Mingzhu sat in the middle of the curtain, her eyes filled with hatred when she saw that Huo Zhengde had come and did not stand up.

Huo Zhengde did not mind, and spoke to the curtain: "It's fine." He then turned to the man beside him and said, "Doctor Liu, this is my daughter, Ming Zhu."

Huo Mingzhu frowned. The imperial doctors in the palace had only diagnosed the sprain of injuries for the imperial family or for the influential and influential elders. It was such a waste for a girl like her to examine a sprained leg. Therefore, although Lin Ruyi had told her to invite the imperial physician to take a look, she did not take it to heart.

Ming Zhu, at the banquet today, Ninth Prince mentioned you many times, and insisted that Imperial Physician Liu come here to take a look, saying that the fact that you twisted your leg might not be too bad, but I'm afraid that you might have suffered from a heart attack from an assassin. Thus, I had the Imperial Physician give you a prescription. Huo Zhengde explained.

He was always the aloof and proud Patriarch of a family. He had never been angry at Huo Mingzhu, nor had he ever joked with her.

Huo Mingzhu frowned, it was Baili Zonglv's idea again, otherwise the imperial physician would not have been able to treat him. Baili Zonglv was so concerned about her mental state that he did not even forget to take part in the celebratory feast. Huo Mingzhu did not know how to "thank" him ? grateful that he had burned his way from the market all the way to her home.

When Lin Ruyi went to the "Jade Refining Pavilion", he saw that the Maids was standing outside the door while trembling in fear. The door to Huo Huaiyu's room was open and a pile of porcelain and paintings on the floor were smashed into a mess.

"Madam, Second Miss has been crying ever since he returned. He has been throwing things around, and even the servants cannot persuade him otherwise. I beg that Madam punish him ?" The Maids hurriedly knelt down and said.

Lin Ruyi's expression was exhausted, and he was unwilling to speak further, so he waved for them to leave.

When he arrived at the bedside of Huo Huaiyu, he saw that she was crying uncontrollably while lying down on her pillow.

Seeing that she was here, Huo Huaiyu loosened himself from her restraints and shouted with bloodshot eyes: "Grandmother has never liked me, she always treats me badly! This time, elder sister came back, and even mother looked at her! Beat me for my grandmother's words! Mother has never hit me before! "

The fingerprint on her white face was obvious. At that time, Lin Ruyi did indeed use a powerful move.

"Why does Grandmother never like me? Why did she always think that her sister was the best? "No matter where she is or what she does, she's always right?" Huo Huaiyu asked while sobbing.

Lin Ruyi's eyes dimmed. With a pained heart, he caressed her face: "Good Yu'er, it was your mother's fault for being too harsh on you. Grandmother is old, and you are not always by her side. Naturally, it is better to treat your grandmother well than to have your grandmother treat you well. Furthermore, what you said today was really wrong, causing Grandmother to be unhappy. "In the future, you should learn what to say and what not to say ?"

"What was my mistake? How am I wrong? I am trapped in Shang Jing and can't go anywhere. I just envy my sister's beauty and nobility, I feel inferior to her just by looking at her, and even more so in front of Grandmother. I can't even raise my head, what have I done wrong, why can't I lift my head?! " Huo Huaiyu cried until she was choked with sobs. She suddenly slapped her pillow and said, "I hate Grandmother! I hate my grandmother! I hate Uncle's house! I don't want to go to my uncle's house anymore! "
