Chapter 19: Deception
Huo Lingxi said goodbye to the old lady and went straight to his courtyard.
As for how the others felt, she didn't care much, and Huo Hua wanted to hold his breath again.
"Miss, it seems to be in a good mood today." Forsythia saw a smile on her face.
Huo Lingxi took out half of the silver rewarded by the old lady, handed it to Forsythia, and told her to keep it for a good life.
On weekdays, even if this young lady goes out and doesn't cause trouble, even if she is lucky, she can still get some rewards now, and she is also convinced of this.
Since she was saved by Miss that time, she has also made up her mind that no matter whether her Miss is good or bad, a blessing or a curse in the future, she will never give up.
Huo Lingxi instructed her that if someone came to give her a book, remember to be careful and not fall into other people's ways.
Would Howard let go of such a good opportunity to frame her? She specially made a big show in front of her today, just to see what means this Huo family's concubine would use.
Rather than trembling and waiting for others to make a move, she would rather give them a chance herself.
After all, the first strike is the best!
I only hope that this fairy-looking woman is not an embroidered pillow.
Huo Lingxi leaned on the table and took a nap, since she was reborn, she had some nightmares every day, and it seemed to be less recently, but it was also extremely unstable.
Sometimes when I am tired of copying scriptures and books, I will lean directly against the table and make up for a little sleep.
"Miss, miss, this is a book sent by the eldest lady." Forsythia carefully flipped through the book several times, except for some shabby, there was nothing wrong with the rest, and there was no letter note in it that should not be written, so he accepted it with confidence.
Huo Lingxi was half asleep and half awake, and when he saw Forsythia coming in with a few books in his hand, he also came to his senses.
Take it and take a closer look, a book of the art of war, a book of the art of arrangement, look like this, it is not what ordinary women should see, I think it was ordered by the master to keep it, slightly turned, it seems that there is no problem, just a pungent smell.
Smell?
Huo Lingxi didn't dare to be careless, so he leaned in and sniffed it carefully, the smell was not quite like mothballs to prevent moths, but like some kind of potion.
Forsythia saw Huo Lingxi looking at it for a while, and then leaned up to smell the smell, and was immediately confused.
What else could be wrong with this taste? Could it be that the eldest lady put poison in it? Forsythia shook her head while thinking, the maid swaggered into the door with something, and who else didn't know that it was sent from the eldest lady's room.
Huo Lingxi lowered his eyes slightly, recalled carefully, and suddenly, remembered something from the past.
Someone in Huo Lingxi's family signed a note with someone and bought a house from that person, but just a few days later, he was sued by that person to the yamen. It was said that he had forcibly occupied the house, and at that time the man used a strange potion to melt all the words on the note.
Huo Lingxi looked at it, I'm afraid that this book has also moved such hands and feet. This book shouldn't have been Huo Huaqing's, and now that it is ruined in his own hands, he will definitely ruin his hard work a few days ago.
Huo Lingxi smiled lightly, if it was the previous Fifth Miss, she would definitely be helpless and ignorant. But now that she has a difficult opponent, she can't please anything.
The easiest way to crack the potion is to use salt. Immediately, Huo Lingxi called Forsythia and carefully processed the book.
Huo Huaqing thought about it, I was afraid that she would not admit it at that time, and she would need to find someone to prove it, so she called Huo Chengying and went to Huo Lingxi's room, and saw that she was watching with relish, so she only said a few words of greeting.
Huo Huaqing told Huo Chengying that on the day when his father came back and the whole family was there, he would inform him of the news that Huo Lingxi had damaged his father's two most important military books.
Huo Lingxi didn't want to stop there, it would be a pity if he let go of a chance to behave in front of his father.
So he picked up the pen and carefully transcribed the two books, which was regarded as practicing calligraphy and calming his mind.
It was the first time that Huo Chengying was looking forward to her father's return home as soon as possible. On weekdays, she was extremely afraid of her strict and unkind father, and every time he came home, she would only praise Howard for a few words.
However, thinking that she could make Huo Lingxi make a fool of herself in front of everyone, she was happy!
In the past few days, she has occasionally seen Yue Jinyan, but he is only faint, said hello, and left without looking, how can she stand it?
"Miss, you can remember this book after you read it, so why bother copying it again." Forsythia saw that Huo Lingxi got up early every day and was greedy for darkness, and only cared about copying those two books, and he was also a little puzzled.
In the past few days, I have watched my own lady light the lamp and boil wax all day long, and her body bones are thin, and the whole person originally looked very slender, but now it can be blown away by the wind.
"Soon, this book will be finished soon." Huo Lingxi didn't feel bitter at all, in her previous life, she was good at fighting and leading soldiers, and looking at these two ancient books was also very beneficial.
It's just that I'm afraid that I will never have the opportunity to fight against the enemy and show my talents.
Huo Lingxi sighed almost inaudibly.
After a few more days, the old man really came back, usually in the middle of each month, the old man Huo would go back to the house to gather with everyone.
He looked at his sons and daughters, and couldn't help but look pale when he saw Huo Lingxi.
This daughter really made him lose face!
A daughter's family, not reserved at all, chased the prime minister's most precious fourth son around, making trouble all over the city, and the most hateful thing was that Zhou Yushen was rejected by everyone at all.
Don't look at what kind of identity she is, a concubine, she actually wants to marry the son-in-law of the prime minister's family, the most partialized old lady of the prime minister's wife!
This incident happened, which made him really lose face in the court, and for many days in a row, he couldn't lift his head when he saw the prime minister.
He also thought about simply leaving this scourge to the nunnery, and giving the nunnery some silver every month, so that she would never come back.
Now that I see Huo Lingxi, I seem to be much calmer than before, standing solemnly on the side, well-behaved, and I finally have the appearance of a lady.
He swept his gaze to Huo Huaqing, this is his favorite daughter, who has been smart and clever since she was a child, and she is beautiful and fragrant, and she will definitely be a dragon and phoenix among people in the future, and her wealth is unspeakable.
Huo Lingxi sat with a calm face, she didn't see the obvious unhappiness when the old man saw her, nor did she not see the obvious doting when his eyes fell on Huo Huaqing.
She sneered in her heart, today she is going to tear off Huo Huaqing's hypocritical mask, and let them know that Huo Lingxi today is by no means the fifth miss who has no heart and is wantonly trampled on the soles of her feet!
"Father." Huo Huaqing's voice like a yellow warbler came softly.
Huo Lingxi's eyes lit up suddenly, sure enough, it's here!
