Chapter 29: The World Is Quiet
Zhao Yunzhi and Huo Huaqing were ordered to be grounded for three days and thought about it behind closed doors.
Huo Lingxi was rewarded with two hundred taels of gold, and with Zhao Yunzhi's jade hairpin, he really benefited a lot.
Forsythia accompanied her towards her small courtyard, today she is really proud, she has been in the Huo family for more than ten years, and she has never seen the eldest lady so deflated.
"Miss, this old lady also values you today, or else change this yard." Forsythia cautiously proposed.
The room where Huo Lingxi lives by himself is ordinary, and it is still remote and tight, so it is inconvenient to do anything.
Huo Lingxi listened, but shook her head, she didn't mind the remoteness of this place, let alone a person who admired vanity, naturally she didn't need anything to decorate it well, not to mention, getting close to those women who were noisy all day long would only increase her upset.
"It's actually nice here, the environment is quiet, not to mention, I have to go to the lotus pond every day to collect dew for the old lady." Huo Lingxi's face was indifferent.
I'm only now able to gain a foothold here, but I don't take it lightly.
"Yes, miss." Forsythia knew that her young lady had an indifferent temperament and didn't like to be lively, so she didn't mention it much.
"Miss, that dew, why don't you let someone pick it." Forsythia really can't bear to watch her young lady get up early and be greedy for darkness, and she was wronged today.
"No, I have to do this myself." Old Mrs. Huo does pity Huo Lingxi very much, but if she is pampered and arrogant, she will give up halfway as soon as she gets a little better, and she will definitely fall into the hands of others.
In the past few days when Zhao Yunzhi was punished, Huo Lingxi's days were really unspeakably pleasant, and Huo Chengying didn't have the biggest mountain to see, and he didn't dare to come to this small courtyard to show off his might.
"Forsythia, do you know how Cui'er has been doing?" Huo Lingxi turned out the books and spread them out on the table, basking in the sun.
Recently, the weather has been cloudy and rainy, and these books are what Yue Jinyan entrusted to her.
Huo Lingxi is a person who pays attention to commitment, although he feels that Yue Jinyan has some other intentions in this matter, but he also happens to need these books to fill the gap of only caring about martial arts in his previous life.
A few days ago, I happened to get the old lady's reward, so it is better to repay all the debts she borrowed the day before.
Thinking of Yue Jinyan's deep black eyes and handsome face, Huo Lingxi's heartbeat seemed to miss a beat.
That man is unfathomable, far from what she sees, I really don't know what kind of heart is hidden under such a gentle and humble appearance.
Forsythia was flipping through those books, lest there would be a situation where the handwriting was blurred due to dampness, and when she heard Huo Lingxi's words, she also paused, with some horror on her face, and replied: "Miss Hui, that Cui'er is also pitiful, she was taught a hard lesson by the third lady that time, and the third miss seems to be more and more unpleasant to look at her, and she will be angry when she has nothing to do, and now, she is no longer human." ”
Although Forsythia didn't like that Cui'er very much, she was not so vicious as to want her life, and now she ended up in this field, although she was also to blame, but the hearts of these three young ladies were too vicious, and many people were panicked.
"Really?" Huo Lingxi didn't have any extra sympathy, he still had a calm expression on his face, and his eyes were not even moved, like a deep well, the ancient well had no waves, neither happy nor sad.
There are many unfair things in this world, and this Cui'er is by no means the first, and naturally it will not be the last.
This is, Huo Lingxi's eyes deepened, this Cui'er matter may have some use value, if Huo Chengying can remember the lesson and no longer provoke at will, Huo Lingxi naturally doesn't want to get along with a small role like her.
However, if she doesn't have long eyes and stumbles on herself openly and secretly, then don't blame her subordinates for being ruthless!
The other side.
After being grounded for a few days, Huo Huaqing was really full of grievances, but there was no one to confide in, and he fell several times in a row, making the whole room restless.
A few little maids who persuaded her to relax her heart were all slapped by her.
The cook in the small kitchen also suffered, and Huo Huaqing was punished by the old lady, mainly because of Huo Lingxi's design, why didn't she know? But how could she endure such humiliation?
If the cook hadn't made a plate of chestnut cakes, he wouldn't have lost such a big person.
Huo Huaqing has always believed that he is the best, only the part of others who do wrong, how can there be a reason for his own wrongness?
So he gave the cook twenty boards, and the maid who did not do a good job, and was slapped fifty times in the face, passed out, and threw herself into the wood-room, and ordered that she should not be given food or water, and that she should be left to fend for herself.
Huo Lingxi was still angry, she couldn't wait to be like her mother, cut off the tongue of the girl who told nonsense, and drive her out of Huo Mansion to feel happy.
When Zhao Yunzhi heard about this, he reprimanded her and asked her to copy the Buddhist scriptures, how did she write it? She didn't bother to do what Huo Lingxi had done, which was tantamount to admitting her incompetence!
Zhao Yunzhi was also unhappy in his heart, this time, he lost the power he had been in charge of for more than ten years, and he was also estranged from Mrs. Huo a lot.
Huaqing, this child, is inevitably too impatient, Zhao Yunzhi regrets a little, in the past, she was too spoiled by this daughter with a national appearance, and now she can't hold her breath.
In the current situation, where is the time to punish the subordinate?
ordered her to copy the Buddhist scriptures so that the old lady could see her repentance, but she had a petty relationship with herself again, Zhao Yunzhi shook his head.
Now that the second aunt has gained power, although it is still not as good as the main house, it is enough for her to raise her eyebrows, for Huo Lingxi, she will not deliberately deduct it, after all, the enemy of the enemy is a friend to herself.
But I don't know who spread rumors throughout Huo Mansion, saying that Huo Lingxi was possessed by some sneak when he was seriously ill in the nunnery, and if not, how could it become so sudden.
Forsythia heard these rumors, but she couldn't hold back her anger, these long-tongued women, their mouths just can't see others good, their own young lady used to be arrogant and unreasonable, they said that she was a wild girl, a cheap embryo who didn't understand the rules; Now her own lady is cautious everywhere, and says that she is secretly possessed.
Huo Lingxi treated it indifferently, in fact, these words still have some truth, after all, he has been wandering outside for more than half a year before he resurrects his soul on Huo Lingxi, who is about to die.
However, this theory of ghosts and gods seems to be extremely popular in this Huo Mansion, Huo Lingxi turned the jade bracelet on his hand, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
In the past few days, Huo Huaqing has severely punished his subordinates in his room, although the people under the eldest lady are strict-mouthed, but they can't help Huo Lingxi's silver to be ruthless, a pastry cook, was dismissed after being beaten, as for the maid who connected with Forsythia day and night, it seems to be similar to Cui'er's fate.
Huo Lingxi couldn't help laughing, this time they wronged the good people, and I don't know if the maid has some value to use.
If they really died in this Huo Mansion, of course, it would not be a big deal, but if they used the words of this ghost god, maybe they could achieve some unexpected miraculous effects.
Moreover, you may be able to buy it and be your own informant, after all, only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you survive a hundred battles.
