"Ai, you child ?" Hearing Huo Huaiyu grumbling about his grandmother and uncles, Lin Ruyi helplessly sighed, as a tear flowed down the corner of her eye. She had something she couldn't say.

"Mother, I'm so scared. I'm so afraid that my elder sister will grow up at home. You and father will love and love your elder sister even more ?" I don't let Grandmother like me anymore. Will I also lose my mother's kindness in the future? " Huo Huaiyu held Lin Ruyi's hand and asked pitifully.

Lin Ruyi could almost feel the connection between him and his daughter now. Hugging her in his arms, the mother and daughter began to cry together, Lin Ruyi said repeatedly, "That won't happen, Yu'er, how could mother abandon you? "Although your elder sister called me mother, she didn't call me mother after all. Mother only has you as her daughter, so Mother will definitely give you the best ?"

"What is the best? What do I have that's best?! " Huo Huaiyu cried uncontrollably, she had already forgotten her proper behavior, and could only mutter a question, extremely miserable.

Lin Ruyi carried her head in his arms, his teary eyes looking forward to the unknown, and roared: "Silly Yu'er, your sister is almost at the adult, how much longer can she stay at home? When mother finds a good home for her and makes a good marriage, that would be doing her duty as a mother. You're still young, and you have no brothers.

Huo Huaiyu then blinked her eyes as if she had suddenly realized something, and stopped her sobs: "Mother, are you serious? You want to marry big sister? "

"It's not that your mother is going to marry your elder sister, it's that your elder sister has reached the age at which she should marry. If there's a suitable family, why aren't you planning it out?" Lin Ruyi laughed, his tone did not contain any of the malicious scheming that the stepmother usually did, it was as though he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing.

After Imperial Physician Liu who came to the palace examined Huo Mingzhu's pulse, he wrote a prescription. It was said that it was used to recuperate one's body and mind, and he even told her to not be bored inside the house, and to go out and relax. In the end, he emphasized that it was the Ninth Prince's orders, and that he was just following them.

When Imperial Physician Liu finished speaking, Huo Zhengde saw him out of the room politely, then returned and sat in Huo Mingzhu's room for a while.

"Ming Zhu, before you came back, I heard from your mother that she was going to hold a great ceremony for your sake. Even the Duke of the Nation had asked about it in the palace today, so it can be considered as my Huo Family's ancestors being virtuous and being able to get the Duke of the Nation and the Ninth Prince to value you so highly. This time when you return to the capital, you will stay at home to recuperate and walk around more with the ladies of Shang Jing. After all, they are all girls' houses.

This was the first time Huo Mingzhu heard his father say such a long sentence to her. He was truly a loyal general to the imperial government, and upon hearing the Duke and Ninth Prince ask for her opinion, he immediately fawned over them, wishing that he could tie his daughter up and send her to the Ninth Prince. No matter if he was wife or concubine, he wouldn't care!

If Huo Mingzhu hadn't heard what her grandmother and Lin Ruyi said, she would really be grateful to her father for showing mercy, letting her live in Fringe City for ten years, and allowing her to rest at home this time.

Huo Mingzhu endured the endless hatred and ridicule in his heart, and calmly smiled: "Thank you father and mother for your benevolence, your daughter will do as you say."

"Alright!" Huo Zhengde was in a good mood as he stood up and prepared to leave, "Ming Zhu, rest well. Your mother already had someone prepare dinner and must let me come back.

Huo Mingzhu continued to smile, and looked moved: "Thank you, father and mother."

After Huo Zhengde finished speaking, he left. Su Lv took the ginseng soup given by the little girl and brought it to Huo Mingzhu, who blew on it and said: "Miss, Madam has let the kitchen stew the ginseng chicken soup. It smells so good. Although the old lady wasn't very intimate with the little miss, the little miss and the old master cared deeply for her, especially the little miss. At least the little miss didn't look like an outsider in this house ? "

Huo Mingzhu drank the ginseng soup one spoonful at a time, listening to Su Lv's nagging. She did not want to argue with him, but today she finally understood, being a playboy and acting like Lin Ruyi, even if he did shameful things, and made others praise her, it would still be considered a realm.

She was learning, she would do better than Lin Ruyi ?

Young miss, the Ninth Prince is truly considerate. It is said that he has been busy with national affairs all these years, and even delayed his marriage. He should be twenty this year, and will definitely get married and have children. Su Lv's mouth continued to chatter: "I specifically asked around among those girls and servants. They all said that Ninth Prince does not like women, and they never liked women. From this, it can be seen that Ninth Prince is really interested in young miss. After all, this is a legendary encounter, a hero saving a beauty.

As Su Lv spoke, he had already lost control of himself. He intoxicated thought of the beautiful Her Miss and the beautiful Ninth Prince.

Huo Mingzhu put down the bowl and washed his hands. He then walked to the bed and laid down, and said: "Continue thinking, dinner will wake me up."

Su Lv snorted at her back: "Miss, you are so cold! "You have let me down!"

When it was dinner time, Huo Mingzhu went to the main hall, and everyone was present. Not only was Old Madam Huo present, even the grumpy Huo Huaiyu was present.

"Big sister, this steamed bass is delicious. You probably won't be able to eat it in Fringe City, try it! "

"Sister, there's also this pearl ball. It's a good dish for a chef. I really like it. Try it!"

"Elder sister ?"

Huo Huaiyu helped Huo Mingzhu out as if nothing had happened. Due to her, the atmosphere on the table became more lively.

Lin Ruyi smiled at them and said to Huo Zhengde: "Take a look, it's more lively when Ming Zhu is at home."

"Yes." Huo Zhengde nodded.

"Anyway, elder sister is not leaving! In the future, this place will be bustling with noise and excitement every day! " Huo Huaiyu innocently blinked his eyes at Huo Mingzhu, and he smiled back at her, just like before.

Huo Mingzhu waited for a while, and finally heard Lin Ruyi get into the main topic as he said to him and Huo Zhengde: "Mother, Master, today when I return to the house of the Marquis, grandmother's intention is also to give the adult present for Ming Zhu. I thought, the day is near, tomorrow will send people to send letters everywhere, friends and family to see the ceremony. Mother, what do you think? "

Old Madam Huo's expression remained indifferent the entire time. He glanced at Huo Mingzhu, although he did not reveal any displeasure, he was not friendly, and snorted: "As the mother, I am old, and can't care that much." Where's Master? " Lin Ruyi asked Huo Zhengde again.

"I don't need to worry about Madam's matters." Huo Zhengde also did not have any objections.

"Mother, that's great! I love liveliness! With so many guests coming to our house, this Big Sis' adult Rites will definitely be very interesting! If there were a few heroes present during the adult Ceremony, would Big Sis' Happy Husband also have one?! " Huo Huaiyu was the most joyous one of them all, and the slightly tender young girl's voice made the smiles on Old Madam Huo, Huo Zhengde, and Lin Ruyi's faces deepen by a few degrees.
