Chapter 66: Wrath
As soon as Huo Lingxi returned to the house, he saw Forsythia waiting outside the door with an anxious face.
Mrs. Huo was very angry about today's events, and summoned the Huo family to settle the accounts in the Huo family ancestral hall.
Those who have merit are rewarded, and those who are guilty are punished!
Today has almost affected Huo Chengyu and the entire Huo family, she must not turn a blind eye!
"Miss, the old lady has lost her temper today, so you should hurry over. And Gongzi Yue, the old lady is also looking for you everywhere. "Forsythia was born in this Huo Mansion, and I have never seen Mrs. Huo so angry, so it can be seen that the situation is serious.
He didn't dare to delay, and stood outside this door, just waiting for his young lady to return to the house, and then quickly report the matter.
"I see. Don't worry, you go back first, and when it's time for dinner, I'll go back." Huo Lingxi naturally has a clear conscience, and this mess is all Huo Hua's own doing.
"Yes, miss, the slave will go back and prepare a bath and change clothes for you." Forsythia saw that Huo Lingxi was not flustered, and his hanging heart was put down.
As soon as they entered the ancestral hall, all the members of the Huo family knelt, Huo Lingxi naturally knelt down quickly, and now the old lady was angry, although she didn't make any mistakes, she had to bow her head.
Yue Jinyan is not a descendant of the Huo family, and the old lady was polite to him when she thought about it, so she was exempted from this rule.
What's more, Yue Jinyan has been gaining momentum in recent days, Rao is the current saint, and he has to give him a few thin noodles, so Old Madam Huo will naturally not lose such a good helper because of a small loss.
The ancestral hall of the Huo family has always been a solemn place, and ordinary clansmen will not come here to invite the ancestors and ancestors to watch and punish if they make some small mistakes.
However, if it is such a disaster as the state banquet, even if the Huo family has a big business, it will inevitably collapse if it comes a few times!
"Do you know what mistakes you have made today?" The old lady sat high on the Taishi's chair, her eyes closed, but the kneeling person was depressed and did not dare to breathe.
"Back to the old lady, today's incident must have been framed by someone! The clothes were taken from Huo Lingxi! "Huo Huaqing has long had resentment in her heart, if it weren't for Huo Lingxi's scheming, she would be as embarrassed as she is today?
What kind of hands and feet did that clothes passively use in Huo Lingxi's hands at regular times! Then I saw that she wanted a dress that was enough to be glamorous, and changed it to her, so that she suffered such an injustice!
Huo Lingxi knelt and didn't look up, but stated in a calm tone: "How can my sister be so bloody, that dress was put by Brother Jinyan here for me to keep temporarily, and that day, you have to exchange, my sister couldn't bear it when she looked at it, so she also took the risk of being rejected by Brother Jinyan, and changed the clothes for you, how did my sister's kindness become a deliberate frame-up?" ”
Huo Huaqing was almost speechless, Huo Lingxi was right, that day, she heard the rumors that Huo Lingxi had added a new treasure, so she hurriedly went to change it, but there must be some conspiracy in this.
"Old lady Mingjian, Huaqing has lived in Huo Mansion for more than ten years, everyone in Huo Mansion is happy, the family house is safe, and this lord's official position is also rising step by step, how can there be a disaster star, ominous?" Seeing this, Zhao Yunzhi couldn't care about pestering Huo Lingxi anymore, this matter was indeed Huo Huaqing's too confused!
At that time, she also concealed the origin of this dress from herself, saying that someone outside saw a high reward and sent it, if she told the truth early, even if Zhao Yunzhi let her wear a coarse cloth clothes, she would not have been allowed to fall into Huo Lingxi's trap!
The old lady's face was in the dark, and she couldn't see it clearly at all, but she heard everyone's opinions, and her heart became more and more troubled.
If this huff is really in their hands, it will surely decline! Today, Huo Huaqing actually shouted grievances for herself on the top of the main hall, but fortunately, Dugu Zhi appeared in time, if it weren't for this, she would have to shake off all the ugly things in the Huo family's back house in front of the famous nobles in the capital.
At that time, how can the Huo family still hold up their heads in the entire capital!
"Enough! Don't say it again! The old lady let out a loud shout, interrupting everyone's gossip.
"It's not enough to be ashamed? Do you want to hold a banquet, let everyone come and see what kind of sinister people my Huo family is, fighting openly and secretly! The old lady coughed angrily, and the frightened people kneeling below did not dare to make a sound again.
If this makes the old lady angry again, the entire Huo family will become a plate of scattered sand!
In the past few months, the eldest lady has made many mistakes, and the old lady can't help but dislike what she does, and even the old lady is a little tired of being pleaded with by her all day long.
Usually it's good, but there was so much chaos this time, and the old lady who had a tough body fainted with anger, and Master Huo was also a little shaken.
The second room is also taking the opportunity to take the position, because the daughter of the second room is not well married, and she is prejudiced against the eldest lady, if she can take the power of the family in one fell swoop, not only can she breathe a sigh of relief, but also make the daughter who is not treated in her mother-in-law's house raise her eyebrows!
Such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, how could she refuse!
So the second room is also extraordinarily diligent and motivated, and the accounts are not messy and orderly, even the old lady is impressed by her.
However, if the Huo family's back house does not have this backbone, the eldest lady will naturally not abdicate to make way for Xian, and the second lady is unwilling to be at the mercy of others, what will it become, Huo Lingxi is full of expectations.
After all, the Huo family has collapsed, and Huo Chengyu's good days have come to an end!
Dugucheng is not a person who is affectionate, if he loses his use value, he will kick him away!
The eldest lady hung her head slightly, hiding the ruthlessness that flashed in her eyes, this old lady Huo, if she died, maybe it would be better!
On weekdays, she has a lot of complaints about Zhao Yunzhi's mother and daughter, and she often complains to the lord to support the power of the second room, if things are allowed to develop like this, I am afraid that her position as the head of the family will not be long before she sits down!
"Huo Huaqing, did you know that you were wrong today?" The old lady was beaten on the back by the maids, and her heart calmed down a little.
"Huaqing, Huaqing." Huo Huaqing felt that he had been wronged, but the old lady turned a deaf ear, and even wanted to shield the dead girl Huo Lingxi!
Zhao Yunzhi saw her looking at Huo Lingxi with resentful eyes, but she was also anxious, the current situation could not add fuel to the fire at all!
Huo Huaqing didn't seem to see his mother's eyes again and again, just stared at Huo Lingxi, his voice was cool, and his eyes said stubbornly: "Huaqing is innocent!" Everything, everything is deliberately framed by Huo Lingxi, Huaqing, there is nothing wrong! ”
Saying that, Huo Huaqing straightened his back, looking like he was not bent by power, and the old lady was so angry that she dropped the teacup on the spot, and the hot tea sprinkled Huo Huaqing!
