Lin Ruyi's expression changed slightly, but he still patted Huo Mingzhu's hand the other way: "Good child, your mother has accepted your kind intentions, but you just returned to the General's Estate, and on the way you were scared by an assassin. The most important thing right now is to recuperate and peacefully wait for the adult Ceremony, that's your big day."

Maybe because he was worried that Huo Mingzhu would bring it up again, Lin Ruyi simply stopped her from speaking. "Ming Zhu, don't worry about mother.

"If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you mother." Huo Mingzhu obediently complied after hearing what Lin Ruyi had said. She was in a very good mood.

Although she didn't want to let Lin Ruyi have a easy time, she didn't think of taking over the general's household and cause trouble for herself. She only wanted to force Lin Ruyi to get off the sickbed unwillingly and to pay extra attention for her adult.

Anyways, as her daughter, she should not be as worried as Lin Ruyi, she was happy to watch the show. Everyday, he would just go to pay respects to his grandmother and Lin Ruyi, and do the duty of being the eldest daughter. The rest of the time, he would learn how to recuperate using the sword, and occasionally, he would even have to deal with Huo Huaiyu's sudden ideas.

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed. Two days before Huo Mingzhu's birthday, all of the guests from the Huo Family's sect had stayed at the General's Estate, and even the two aunts who had married far away to the south had come.

As a junior, Huo Mingzhu stood at the side obediently, quietly watched as her grandmother held her two daughters' hands and chatted. When she talked about love and tears fell, she smiled faintly, not caring at all.

"Elder sister, look at that young lady, can she be considered to be dignified and beautiful?" Huo Huaiyu suddenly pulled Huo Mingzhu's hand and whispered in her ear, pointing at a girl not far away.

Huo Mingzhu looked at the girl, she was about eighteen or nineteen years old, accompanied by a middle aged woman.

Seeing that Huo Mingzhu was looking at her, the lady also looked over, and nodded at Huo Mingzhu.

Huo Mingzhu also smiled at her, with an obedient look. He turned his head and pretended not to know anything, and asked Huo Huaiyu: "Yu'er, do you know whose family's daughter is that lady? "Looks like you're about the same age as me. Why don't we go over and say our farewells?"

Huo Huaiyu had always strived for everything with Huo Mingzhu, especially when it came to the matters of the world, she was never one bit behind. Hearing Huo Mingzhu's instigation, she immediately took the lead and pulled Huo Mingzhu to the front of the lady.

It just so happened that Lin Ruyi was there too. Huo Huaiyu smiled sweetly and asked: "Mother, I just told big sister that this big sister is really born well. I wanted to come and get to know you, but I don't know what to call you ?"

Lin Ruyi did not know much about the relatives of the Huo Family, but just now, Old Madam Huo introduced them one by one.

Hearing Huo Huaiyu's question, Lin Ruyi shook the little miss' hand, and said exasperatedly and helplessly, "Yu'er, what kind of big sister is this? This is your grandmother's niece, your cousin, and my younger sister. "

Huo Huaiyu was extremely surprised, and quickly changed his words: "Ah, cousin! Forgive Huaiyu for not being sensible, but you must have made a big joke recently! Cousin really is about the same age as elder sister. "

Huo Mingzhu quickly agreed. "That's right, that's right, I never thought that my cousin would be so young. We two juniors have been rude."

At this moment, the cousin, Miss Yu, finally opened her mouth: "Where are you coming from? We're all in the same family, and I should be a few years older than you, nineteen this year. You all shouldn't call me Cousin and Cousin, you are a little unfamiliar with me, why not call me by my name, Yu Tong? "

"What do you mean? How could they call their cousin by her name? No matter how ignorant the two children were, they should still know how to be courteous. Tong Er, don't spoil the habits of these two juniors. " Lin Ruyi had always been exquisite, she had always kept her words watertight, giving her face and confidence.

"cousin, don't be so courteous. I came here with my father and mother to visit aunt in order to show some filial piety. The two families have not seen each other for a long time, so Father and Aunt are blaming themselves for missing each other. "Look, let's see how interesting this chat is." Although Yu Tong was young, his manner of speech was rather old.

Following which, Yu Tong's mother, the wife of the Yu Clan, started a conversation with Lin Ruyi. Huo Mingzhu stared at Yu Tong's and her mother's clothes and accessories and he became even more certain of his previous thoughts.

She had waited for so long, the heavens had finally not disappointed her. She remembered that during the adult Ceremony in her previous life, this cousin of hers and her husband had come to visit when the relatives of the Yu Family had arrived. In this life, she encouraged her grandmother to invite the Huo Family's clansmen. She knew that her grandmother Yu clan had always been protective and vengeful. How could she invite only the Huo clan and not the Yu clan?

Looking at the clothes that Yu Tong and her mother were wearing, it was unknown how long ago it had been a style. It was fashionable now in Shang Jing with narrow sleeves, but the sleeves that Yu Tong and her mother wore were extremely wide and even the embroidery patterns were extremely old-fashioned. It was obvious that the Yu clan was very poor and did not rise up to the sky just because Huo Zhengde was paying respects to the great general.

In his previous life, Huo Mingzhu had heard Lin Ruyi complaining to her father about Yu Tong's impudence, and actually planned to stay in the manor for a long time ?

At that time, Huo Mingzhu understood her meaning. There were no males in the younger generation of the Huo Family, so why couldn't they take a concubine? Yu Tong's family was in a worrisome situation, if she could get even closer to the general's household, it would suit her grandmother's wishes.

But how silly she was in her previous life when she thought of Lin Ruyi wholeheartedly. She then discussed it with Lin Ruyi and Huo Huaiyu, causing to be chased out of the general's estate, and into giving Lin Ruyi his entire life. Most likely, even caused her father Huo Zhengde to hate her for it, but she didn't know this.

In this life and for life, she was an unpredictable person. She would not repeat the same mistakes and would definitely act out a good show.

"What are you talking about? Number three, while your brother was still alive, I thought that one day, our family would have a chance to shine. You three houses are pretty good, but your business is doing quite well? "

Huo Mingzhu looked towards the direction of the voice and saw Grandma Yu nagging at a few guests in the third house of the Huo Family. Her tone was filled with pride and a arrogance that she did not want to hide.

As for the third branch of the Huo family, due to their status as Old Madam Huo, they didn't dare to retort at all. This was truly a dream of their grandmother's for a long time ?

Huo Mingzhu stood at the center of the clamor, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised. The good show had just started.
