Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 211
If it is said that the Situ family wants to deal with Huo Mingzhu, then Huo Mingzhu is going to deal with Lin Ruyi at this moment. She knows that Lin Ruyi will stop Yu Tong from becoming Huo Zhengde's concubine to the end. Ru Yi's secret methods have already been destroyed by herself, so what's left is just a facade.

On the outside, it was the Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion. Thinking about it, if Lin Ruyi was really in a hurry, it would not be impossible for her to go to Mrs. Lin's side to seek protection.

Furthermore, Huo Zhengde has not taken a concubine for many years, and it is not because of his nostalgia for his mother Lin Rujin or his love for Lin Ruyi, but because of his fear of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

Mrs. Lin only had two daughters, both of whom were married to Huo Zhengde. Although the eldest daughter died of anger after the younger daughter got married, that was all the Lin family's own business. If another woman married Huo Zhengde, It is impossible for the Lin family not to intervene. If Lin Ruyi complains in front of Mrs. Lin again, then the interference may not be as simple as interference.

Huo Mingzhu thought of this layer, so she appeared in the Lin family at this moment.

Mrs. Lin is drinking sour plum soup at the moment. Her appetite has not been very good recently, so she wants to drink some sour plum soup to see if it can increase her appetite. Moreover, when the heat is so heavy, it can also avoid the heat.

Hearing that Huo Mingzhu was coming, he just hummed lightly, and the movements in his hands didn't stop for a moment. After Huo Mingzhu came in, he put down the bowl in his hand.

The old lady Lin did not smile when she saw Huo Mingzhu like she did before. It was because Huo Mingzhu refused to marry her cousin Yunxi. Huo Mingzhu knew it very well, but she couldn't back down on this matter, so she just pretended Zuo couldn't understand Mrs. Lin's alienation, so he still called out as affectionately as before: "Old ancestor."

Old lady Lin narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Ah Jin is here, the sun is so strong outside, why do you still run out?"

Huo Mingzhu said: "That's not true, the sun can roast people, but, it's just that Ah Jin has something in her heart, after a few days of patience, she feels that she can't bear it any longer, and she must tell the ancestors to know about it as soon as possible, so , and came here braving the heat.”

Huo Mingzhu's expression was too serious, so Mrs. Lin also restrained her smile, and said to the maidservants beside her, "You all go down."

"Yes, my ancestor."

After the maids left one after another, the old lady said: "Looking at Ah Jin's appearance, I think this matter is serious?"

Huo Mingzhu nodded, then lowered her head slightly, but did not speak.

Looking at her appearance, she seemed to be thinking about how to speak. After a while, Huo Mingzhu whispered: "Old ancestor, mother, mother is so confused."

Mrs. Lin didn't expect that it was Lin Ruyi's matter. Lin Ruyi didn't worry about it. Mrs. Lin originally loved and hated her daughter, but now she heard the eldest daughter's child say that Lin Ruyi's No, Mrs. Lin felt that this matter might be really serious.

Immediately, the old lady said: "What did your aunt do to make you so impressed?"

"It's not a sigh, but, Ah Jin feels that this matter is too involved and feels uneasy, so she came to seek advice from her ancestors." Huo Mingzhu said.

"It's going around in circles, but I don't know what it is, Ah Jin, just tell the truth." Mrs. Lin said, and at the same time, she reached out to pick up the sour plum soup that had just been put aside.

Huo Mingzhu said: "Father's cousin, that is, Ah Jin's cousin, was a guest at the General's Mansion recently. The old lady likes this cousin very much and wants her to be my father's concubine."

"What? How dare Huo Zhengde?" Mrs. Lin wanted to drink the sour plum soup, but when she heard this, she almost threw the bowl out.

Huo Mingzhu expected to get Mrs. Lin's anger, so she said, "Don't be impatient, my ancestor!"

The old lady Lin suppressed her anger and heard Huo Mingzhu continue to finish her sentence. She hated this son-in-law a lot. If it wasn't for this man, how could she have lost a daughter!At this moment, she still wants to marry a concubine again, and Mrs. Lin can hold her temper and continue to listen to Huo Mingzhu's words, which shows that Mrs. Lin's tolerance should not be underestimated.

"The old lady has this idea because the cousin's fortune is very good. The fortune teller said that she can give her husband's family a succession of children, and she will be blessed, so the old lady wanted to let this cousin in. , If the mother was not pregnant, she would have married that cousin and entered the house, and it happened that the mother was pregnant at that time, so she would have given up."

When Huo Mingzhu said this, she paused for a moment, and then continued: "At that time, Ah Jin also thought that a younger brother would be born soon, but after a while, the mother's stomach disappeared. At first, it was said that the cousin did it, but The father and the old lady didn't find anything wrong with the cousin, but they scolded the mother. Right now, they are going to bring up the argument of taking concubines again."

When Huo Mingzhu said this, seeing old lady Lin's eyebrows tightly frowned, she knew that this old lady Lin must have understood the meaning of her words, otherwise, if she only heard the surface, she would have scolded Huo Zhengde for not being good. Know good and bad.

Seeing that Mrs. Lin had no intention of speaking, Huo Mingzhu continued: "I feel that my mother has been greatly wronged by this matter. I was about to comfort my mother when I saw the maid beside her sneaking around. A Jin then checked it out and found that the maid had buried something in the ground secretly. A Jin thought, maybe there is a secret in it, and thinking of her mother's miscarriage recently, she felt that something was wrong, so she went to I dug out the thing that was buried in the ground, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."

"Didn't expect anything?" Mrs. Lin urged Huo Mingzhu when she saw Huo Mingzhu faltering.

Huo Mingzhu seemed to be desperate, took a deep breath, and said: "Old Ancestor, Ah Jin didn't know what it was at first, but it looked like medicine dregs, and I was afraid that it was the culprit that caused my mother to have a miscarriage." , took the medicine dregs and went to the doctor. The doctor told Ah Jin that it was, it was...Zihe Che."

As soon as Huo Mingzhu finished speaking, she was very satisfied to see that old lady Lin's face changed.

She went on to say: "My mother took this medicine. If the doctor hadn't told me, Ah Jin wouldn't know what Zihe Che was. That's why Ah Jin knew why the old lady and father didn't care about my mother after the miscarriage. Greetings."

"Ru Yi, Ru Yi actually did such a thing." Mrs. Lin was also shocked by Huo Mingzhu's words, and the bowl in her hand fell to the ground and shattered.

I understand what Old Madam Lin thought, but she never expected that Lin Ruyi would actually take banned drugs. As soon as Huo Mingzhu said this, Old Madam Lin believed it, but she did not suspect at all that it was Huo Mingzhu who slandered Lin Ruyi with his words.

If it weren't for Lin Ruyi's past actions and her temperament that Old Madam Lin was familiar with, she would have been extremely likely to take forbidden drugs because she was in a hurry to get pregnant, and Huo Mingzhu didn't need to slander her with this matter.

Moreover, if, as Huo Mingzhu said, the Huo family wants to take concubines and treat the miscarriage's daughter-in-law as nothing, then the miscarriage is also fake, and the forbidden drug is real and has been known.

At that moment, Mrs. Lin asked, "Who else knows about this?"

Huo Mingzhu was waiting for this question from Mrs. Lin: "Our old lady is the only one who knows about this matter."

"What? She knows too!"

"At first, Ah Jin thought that no one knew about it, and wanted to help her mother destroy the evidence, but the day after she found the medicine dregs, Mrs. Huo brought up the matter of taking a concubine again, and her father did not object. On that day, Huaiyu For this matter, the old lady grounded her feet, and afterward, Ah Jin found out that the old lady also had medicinal residues."

Mrs. Lin thought, of course Huo Zhengde would not have any objections. This private use of banned drugs could result in decapitation or imprisonment. She only has one daughter. If this matter is not handled properly, she will lose her completely Daughter, thinking of this, Mrs. Huo's old face instantly aged a little.

No wonder, Pingyang Marquis didn't know that Huo Zhengde wanted to take a concubine, and Lin Ruyi never told her, but it was her own fault. Use, that's all, she's old and can't handle it anymore, so be it.

"Old Ancestor, are you alright?" Huo Mingzhu leaned forward and looked at Old Madam Lin, the concern on her face couldn't be faked.

The old lady Lin wanted to tell Huo Mingzhu that it was all right, but she opened her mouth to sigh silently, so she shook her head at Huo Mingzhu.

Huo Mingzhu also sighed, and then asked with a worried face: "Old Ancestor, Ah Jin is very confused, I don't know how to solve this matter, father's concubine matter is inevitable, if mother is unhappy and father If there is a conflict, then... Yu'er is still young, but she is only a daughter. She will always marry in the future, and so will Ah Jin. At that time, only her mother will be in the general's mansion. If the relationship with her father is not good, That……"

Huo Mingzhu's worries made other people feel that they couldn't fake it. This woman was worried about her mother's future life, and she would greatly appreciate Huo Mingzhu's filial piety.

Including Old Madam Lin, although she was alienated from her because of Cousin Yun's marriage, now it has diluted a little bit of that barrier, and Huo Mingzhu is dedicated to Lin Ruyi, this kind of filial piety is appreciated by Old Madam Lin.

Regarding Lin Ruyi's matter, Mrs. Lin recovered quickly. After all, she has lived a lifetime, so she still has the ability to accept this, and she has a solution in her mind.

His face softened a little, and Mrs. Lin said to Huo Mingzhu: "Ah Jin, you are good. Don't worry too much about your mother's affairs. The cause she planted herself will bear the fruit."

The old lady Lin said all these words to Huo Mingzhu, which shows how disappointed Lin Ruyi is to Lin Ruyi. Seeing the effect, Huo Mingzhu was very satisfied, but her face still maintained the expression just now. The old lady said: "If my uncle finds out about my father's concubine, I'm sure he'll be very angry, hey..."

"No matter how worried or angry we are about this matter, it is still a matter between your father and your mother, and no one else can interfere." Mrs. Lin said.

Huo Mingzhu was satisfied at this moment.

As Old Madam Lin said, she would not interfere with Lin Ruyi's affairs, even her own uncle, if she wanted to intervene, Old Madam Lin would stop her, and she didn't care about others, but her uncle could not interfere Come in, this is Huo Mingzhu's selfishness.

Then, he said some worrying words, then turned the topic aside, saying that Huaiyu fell off the horse and was lying on the bed at the moment, and then said some personal words, Huo Mingzhu got up and left.

It was such a coincidence that Huo Mingzhu went to Mrs. Lin to talk about this matter, and the next day, Lin Ruyi left the General's Mansion early and rushed to the Lin Mansion.

As soon as Mrs. Lin saw her, she said, "If you came here because of your husband's taking a concubine, then you can go back."

Lin Ruyi was directly shocked, looked at the old lady Lin in disbelief, and said intermittently: "Mother, you won't stand up for me about this matter?"

"What can I do?" Mrs. Lin lazily leaned on the chaise longue, not looking at Lin Ruyi.

If Huo Mingzhu hadn't come to tell her, she would not have known that her own daughter would still do such a thing. If she didn't know, and let her say this in a few words, she would go out and find Mrs. Huo for her, and it would be embarrassing at that time If it's small, if it becomes big, it will cost your life.

Therefore, Mrs. Lin saw that Lin Ruyi was becoming more and more inconspicuous, and became impatient with Lin Ruyi's tone: "This matter is a matter of your general's residence, and Pingyang Hou's residence will not interfere. As for you, if you take care of yourself If you want to live your life, this Pingyang Marquis Mansion will naturally open the door to welcome you, if not, then don’t come again, if this huge Pingyang Marquis Mansion gets you involved, if I go underground, I won’t have the face to see your father.”
