The next morning, Huo Mingzhu woke up. The little girl, Su Lv, pulled up the curtain and entered the room. It's been half the night! "

Huo Mingzhu got up and washed her face with the water that Su Lv called her. She sat in front of the dressing mirror and waited for her to comb her hair. I was so tired last night that I didn't even notice.

"Nope." As Su Lv combed her hair, he shook his head and said, "I didn't lose anything, but I was scared. I heard that the old lady was woken up and the young mistress was also scared."

Huo Mingzhu pretended to be worried and asked anxiously: "Mother was frightened? Su Lv, quick, comb my hair, I want to go take a look at mother! "

"Oh, okay!" Su Lv hurriedly tidied up Huo Mingzhu's hair and put on his clothes.

Huo Mingzhu walked hastily towards Lin Ruyi's residence as she sneered in her heart. Lin Ruyi really made a big fuss over nothing, on the first night that she, Huo Mingzhu, had just returned, she caused such a disturbance to her grandmother and mother. Even if it had nothing to do with her, it could still be said that she was being extremely evil, right? At that time, there would naturally be an excuse, saying that she, Huo Mingzhu, was indeed not on good terms with the General's Estate.

Just as Huo Mingzhu entered Lin Ruyi's room, the girl called out to her. Huo Huaiyu came out to welcome her and anxiously took Huo Mingzhu's arm, "Sister, come and take a look at mother. She was frightened last night, and now she can't even stand up today. She scared me, wuu ?

Hearing Huo Huaiyu's crying, Huo Mingzhu was annoyed. She patted Huo Huaiyu's head and comforted him: "Don't be scared, Huai Yu, elder sister is here, leave everything to elder sister. Has Father gone to court? "

"Yes, I left early in the morning." Huo Huaiyu replied.

She lifted the curtain and walked over to Lin Ruyi's bed. Lin Ruyi had already woken up, and looking at her face, he asked weakly: "Ming Zhu, you're here?"

It was hard to believe that after spending so much effort to curse her mother last night, Lin Ruyi would still be able to treat her amiably today, as if nothing had happened.

Huo Mingzhu was even calmer than her by a hundred times. She wiped Lin Ruyi's face with a wet handkerchief and asked anxiously: "Mother, how did you end up sick?"

Lin Ruyi closed his eyes and laughed: "I've been scared, I'm fine."

"Father has been galloping on the battlefield for dozens of years. With Father by his side, how could he allow Mother to be frightened?" Huo Mingzhu did not understand.

Huo Huaiyu also agreed, "That's right, isn't mother staying with father?"

Huo Mingzhu laughed coldly in his heart. It was likely that even Huo Huaiyu did not know about the spell Lin Ruyi cast in the ancestral hall.

Seeing them keep asking, Lin Ruyi was unable to hide it, so he forcefully smiled and explained, "Yesterday, Ming Zhu came back, I had some thoughts in my heart, and wanted to tell Sister about them. But I was afraid that your father would feel embarrassed, so I went to the ancestral hall alone to pay respects to the Sister's memorial tablet."

Huo Mingzhu maintained the smile on his face, held Lin Ruyi's hand and sighed sincerely: "So that's how it is, mother treats my dead mother and me too well, if Mother has a spirit in heaven, she will definitely protect mother's well-being."

After a night of restlessness, Huo Mingzhu was able to calm himself down after hearing Lin Ruyi's words that turned black into white. However, Lin Ruyi still had a guilty conscience, and his entire body shivered. I hope so. "

To prevent Lin Ruyi from being suspicious, Huo Mingzhu changed the topic: "Mother, did you catch the thief last night? "How dare you barge into my general's manor. If you are caught, you will be severely punished!"

's heart was in a mess, he was afraid that someone might discover the Ancestral Hall's witchcraft, and he was also angered by Huo Mingzhu's words. She was not his own flesh and blood, and was the daughter of the Sister, whom he hated deeply, and he could not dig out her heart, as long as she was in front of him, it was like a thorn in his back, he would never be able to calm down.

"These things are left to the butler. Ming Zhu, your mother's head is hurting. She wants to rest. " Lin Ruyi closed his eyes and said weakly.

Huo Mingzhu naturally would not make things difficult for her and quickly got up: "Alright, mother should rest well and let Huai Yu take care of you. I will go to Xiao Ci Palace to pay respects to Grandmother."

nodded lovingly and allowed Huo Mingzhu to leave.

Seeing Huo Mingzhu walking out of the room, Huo Huaiyu was anxious to get up: "Mother, I also want to go to Xiao Ci Palace to pay respects to Grandmother ?"

Lin Ruyi held her back: "Good Jade, don't go yet."

"Why? If I don't go to Xiao Ci Palace, Grandmother will definitely like elder sister after seeing her for so many times! What should I do then? Grandmother doesn't like me. If Grandmother could only see my sister, I wouldn't be able to live! " Huo Huaiyu twisted his body, he was so angry that his eyes were red.

"Yu'er!" You heard from your mother that when your sister went to Xiao Ci Palace, the old lady would not be happy. Instead, she would be embarrassed. Lin Ruyi sat up on the bed and squeezed Huo Huaiyu's hand with all his might.

"Is that so?" Huo Huaiyu did not understand, but she believed in Lin Ruyi's words and sat on the side of the bed.

What Lin Ruyi said was right, Huo Mingzhu had gone to the Xiao Ci Palace to pay respects to Old Lady Huo, but he did not get a good look at her. Not only did Old Madam Huo not see her, she had also thrown her cup and scolded her through the curtain: "I wonder what kind of sin our Huo Family has done, to cause us to be restless from day to night! It used to be fine, but now, in the third month of the year, it's already filled with a monstrous aura. Just like that, a thief had entered this place! After so long, who knows what sort of trouble might arise! "

Huo Mingzhu stood in the courtyard, and the women who were doing manual labor could not bear to watch anymore, but due to the majesty of the Old Madam Huo, they did not dare make a sound.

Su Lv could not hold it in, and pulled Huo Mingzhu's hand: "Young miss, listen to what the old mistress has to say? Isn't this clearly scolding us? We didn't live at home before, and when we came back something happened to us, but what does that have to do with us? "

Old Madam Huo continued to throw the plate of cup, "Those evil things! Get out of here as soon as you can! An old woman will not allow you to be impudent one day! "

Huo Mingzhu looked expressionlessly at the curtain that was in her way. A person's heart was so far apart, did Lin Ruyi thought that just by letting her touch her grandmother's bad luck, she would back off and admit defeat? The filial piety of a mother and son might not be a reliable thing to do.

Huo Mingzhu held down Su Lv's hand, smiling as he walked to the front of the curtain, and laughed: "Grandmother, don't be angry, those evil things will be driven out sooner or later, how can a living person be forced to death by ghosts? Are you right? If you don't feel like it's right, why don't you invite an expert to your residence to handle some matters. I've seen these sorts of people during my time at the borders.

With that, the sound of dishes being dropped stopped. Huo Mingzhu pretended not to understand what was being said, and Old Madam Huo also did not point out her nose and call her an evil monster.

Taking advantage of the Old Madam Huo's silence, Huo Mingzhu continued, "Grandmother, Ming Zhu has come to pay her respects to you. In passing, I wish to tell you about the two uncles coming to the palace to observe the ceremony half a month later."

Inside, the cup that Old Madam Huo wanted to throw around stopped.
