Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 23 Someone is following
To poke people should be poked at the dead point, Huo Mingzhu grasped Mrs. Huo's weakness, and naturally knew how to restrain her aggressiveness.

She remained calm, waiting for the reaction of the people inside.

After a while, the mother-in-law opened the curtain from the inside and said: "Miss, the old lady invites you in."

"Miss..." Su Yu muttered to the side.

Huo Mingzhu didn't feel uncomfortable at all, she walked into the back room following what her mother-in-law said, and after paying her respects to Mrs. Huo, she smiled naturally: "Grandmother, Mingzhu just came home and doesn't understand everything, and Mingzhu is just an old lady. Girls, it's not good to meddle in family affairs. They shouldn't have such thoughts. But last night, my mother was frightened, and now she is lying in bed. She should be more negligent. You are the only one who decides, so I want to ask you something."

Mrs. Huo really didn't like Huo Mingzhu, it's just that her birth date didn't match with the general's mansion, but she killed her biological mother, and there was a lot of commotion on the first night when she came home. Said in front of people, it is even more angry.However, no matter how Mrs. Huo doesn't give Huo Mingzhu a good face, Huo Mingzhu always greets people with a smile, respectful and respectful in her words, and she is the grandmother of her.

Mrs. Huo restrained her anger a little, and said impatiently: "What's the matter, let's talk."

Huo Mingzhu still kept smiling, regardless of whether Mrs. Huo asked someone to show her tea, and suggested sensiblely: "Grandmother, Mingzhu has lived alone in the border town these years, and she understands the importance of family members more and more. If she can reunite with her family, It is the most gratifying. Therefore, Mingzhu thought, this time the ceremony of Jiji does not need to be too grand, after all, it is the expenditure of the general's mansion, so be frugal if you can, but relatives and friends, you can take advantage of the time to move around. This is the time to move around..."

Seeing Mrs. Huo listening seriously, Huo Mingzhu said with a smile: "Grandmother has been in Beijing for many years, besides the two aunts, there are many relatives in the family. Grandmother can let them come to the general together." Mingzhu heard from her mother that her grandfather passed away early back then, and it was all thanks to her grandmother to keep the entire Huo family in order. Among those relatives and friends, if my grandmother has not seen her for a long time, she can still see her. status, who would dare not come?"

After hearing her words, Mrs. Huo reacted abruptly, and patted the table angrily: "Look at what you said? Relatives and friends move around, how can it be me, an old woman, who fights?" Do you want to pressure them with their current status?"

Nanny Fang persuaded: "Old lady, Missy is young, so she is also kind..."

Huo Mingzhu just smiled and didn't refute, the look on her face seemed a little dark: "Grandmother, Mingzhu is talking too much. I thought this house was too deserted. I can take this opportunity to make the house lively. The most important thing is to make grandma and father happy. I'm so happy, but grandma thinks Ming Zhu's actions are ridiculous, Ming Zhu is too young and ignorant."

She said, bowed her head, and said nothing.

Mrs. Huo hated people against her the most in her life. Huo Mingzhu's lukewarm attitude when she first came back to greet her, coupled with her strange character, had already made her unhappy.At this moment, everything Huo Mingzhu said touched her heart——

From the fact that she invited her two daughters from the south to watch the ceremony, she has settled her worries for many years, and when it comes to inviting relatives and friends from the clan to join in the fun, isn't it a prick in her heart?Back then, her husband died young, and she worked so hard to raise her first son and two daughters, she suffered so many eyes from the clan, and even her natal family was also humiliated. Now her mother is precious with her son, and she has become the royal wife appointed by the Holy Majesty. Why can't those villains in the clan take a look at her current beauty and status?

Mrs. Huo was very contradictory in her heart, she was praising Huo Mingzhu for meeting her heart, but at the same time, she couldn't bear to be kind to a girl with bad characters.

However, Mrs. Huo looked at Huo Mingzhu for a while, but she didn't see her making any more noise. She couldn't find the steps, so she built a step and walked down, humming impatiently: "You juniors have so many things to do. It's just a gift of congratulations, yet the entire Huo family came to watch the ceremony. Anyway, the General's Mansion is just you and Yu'er, if you, the eldest daughter, can't do a congratulatory ceremony, my Huo family will lose face It's even more unsightly when you go up. Nanny Fang..."

"Yes." Mother Fang responded with a bow.

"Let the steward draw up a list of the Huo family, and let people send invitations from door to door. Although our branch is worthy of our current status, we can't let the brothers in the family think that we have forgotten the blessings of our ancestors. Those of the same origin are always closer than others." Mrs. Huo instructed nonchalantly.

"Yes." Nanny Fang nodded, and took another look at Huo Mingzhu.

Huo Mingzhu smirked, but still waited for Mrs. Huo's order with a low eyebrow.

"Have you finished talking? You have just come back, so go down and have a good rest. Your mother is ill and has nothing to do with the affairs of this mansion. There is also a housekeeper, so you won't be tired as a girl." Mrs. Huo Still not in a good tone, the eyelids were lifted up, as if it was very laborious to even look at people.

Huo Mingzhu nodded and saluted respectfully: "Thank you for your teaching, Grandma, Mingzhu will keep it in mind."

After finishing speaking, without arguing a word, she walked out of Xiaocixuan with Su Lu's support.

Looking at Huo Mingzhu's back, Nanny Fang said to Mrs. Huo: "Old lady, this girl is quite sensible, but it's a pity that her bad horoscope makes you worry."

Mrs. Huo was still aloof, and snorted: "If it wasn't for the old lady of the Lin family, I wouldn't be able to give her any gifts. My heart hurts like a baby bump, so I don't care about her! If she didn't come back, this manor It's also cleaner!"

Mother Fang was reprimanded by her words, and she didn't dare to speak anymore.

……

"Miss, what do you think? You only scolded in front of the old lady, and Su Hui didn't understand." Su Hui walked out with Huo Mingzhu, and then she dared to speak.

Huo Mingzhu smiled, she had no intention of telling Su Hui all the terrible truths, but she believed that Su Hui was really thinking of her, so she explained: "You don't need to understand, I just came back for the first time, I just thought about it, how do I know?" I am still not loved by my grandmother, from now on, I should say less."

Su Hui was made to sigh by her words: "Miss, hurry up and pick a son-in-law at the Jiji ceremony, marry yourself earlier, and be the mistress of someone else's family, and don't have to be subjected to these young ladies' families anymore." It's good to be angry."

"Sulu, do you want to marry your miss?" Huo Mingzhu joked.

"Miss, you never listen to my good intentions!" Su Hui was furious.

Huo Mingzhu smiled, she really didn't take what Su Yu said just now to her heart, once she said that getting married was not the purpose of her life, how could she feel at ease to marry before she had enough fun?
Suddenly, Su Hui pulled Huo Mingzhu's clothes mysteriously, took her arm and approached her, and said in a low voice: "Miss, I always feel that someone is watching us... a bit uncomfortable."

Huo Mingzhu sneered in her heart, Sulu's vigilance was not good after all, since they came out of Chenxiang Garden early in the morning, someone has been watching them all the time, and they just found out now?
