Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 169 Face to face
While Huo Mingzhu was thinking, someone had already sent someone to invite Lin Ruyi, but Yu Tong, who was kneeling in front of the old lady, still refused to get up, bent down aggrieved, and was about to faint from crying.

Huo Mingzhu is not only good in physical skills, but also has excellent hearing. From the dark place where she stayed, she heard someone hurriedly coming from outside the courtyard after about half a stick of incense.Hearing the voice, there was more than one person coming, and the footsteps were not very urgent, probably because they didn't dare to hurt themselves.The person who came was Lin Ruyi without a doubt.

"Madam is here..."

Sure enough, when the group of people approached, there was a communication voice from the girls outside.

Huo Mingzhu thought that the time had come, and she could no longer stay out of it, so she got up quietly, and went around to the front yard again, looking out of breath, as if she came in a hurry from outside.

"Miss, why are you here?"

The wives and maids of Xiaocixuan are not bad to Huo Mingzhu. It is probably because the relationship between Huo Mingzhu and Mrs. Huo has eased a lot recently, and they brought back agarwood beads for the old lady from Qingquan Temple. The old lady is short-handed. , it would not be possible to keep a straight face to this granddaughter, and even the servants were more polite to Huo Mingzhu.

Huo Mingzhu pretended to be panting, wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and said, "I'm looking for Cousin Yu, but I didn't find anyone in her room, but is it at the old lady's place?"

Those servants were very embarrassed, they glanced inside, wondering: "This..."

They saw the posture of the old lady, and the wife was inside, so be polite, but the priority is still to be divided, how dare you let Huo Mingzhu in casually?
Of course Huo Mingzhu understood their difficulties, so she didn't force her way in, she just pretended not to know and said, "Is my cousin talking to the old lady inside? I saw my mother and Huaiyu were there just now, why does the old lady have something to say?" Can you talk to them, but can’t you talk to me? When did I become an outsider in this family? Nurse, go in and tell the old lady, I’ll wait here, and I won’t make things difficult for you.”

This rhetorical question did not speak in a questioning tone, Huo Mingzhu's voice was gentle and gentle, neither humble nor overbearing, and did not mean to threaten the servants, the women and girls hurriedly responded: "Yes, Miss, the servants go in Pass it on."

"En." Huo Mingzhu replied, looking forward, it was strange that there was no Suhui around, she thought about it carefully, and thought to herself, yes, something happened to Yu Tong, Suhui is a witness , must be taken to the old lady...

After a while, the girl who went in came out again, and said to Huo Mingzhu: "Miss, the old lady asked you to go in, saying that she has something to ask Miss."

Is this girl giving Huo Mingzhu the wind in advance?

Huo Mingzhu pretended to be surprised, hurriedly lifted her skirt and walked up a few steps. The mother-in-law closed the curtain for her and let her into the back room.

As soon as he turned the screen, he saw that Yu Tong was still kneeling in the same place, he didn't move half a step, and he didn't obediently let Lin Ruyi come.But her face was innocent and gloomy. If someone who doesn't know the truth sees it, they will feel sorry for her pity.

"Old lady, mother, this is..." Huo Mingzhu pretended to be stupid and said in surprise.

"Miss..." Su Yu was indeed there, and she was also very nervous, looking at Huo Mingzhu with timid eyes.

Huo Mingzhu gave her a comforting look, signaling that she needn't be nervous, no matter how serious the battle was, it wouldn't affect her.

"Cousin..." Huo Mingzhu seemed to have just discovered Yu Tong, and rushed over to help Yu Tong who was on the ground: "What are you doing? It's cold on the ground, why did you kneel down?"
