Chapter 303: Beginning

When Lin Qi saw the cold and vicious gaze of the woman in the carriage, she knew that it was difficult to be good today, she was too confident that no one found out that she had eavesdropped on Zhou Zhiqing's secrets, and sure enough, there was no impermeable wall in this matter, and the Zhou family's reaction was faster than she expected.

When the carriage drove to the Huo family, she found that the wrong way was wrong, but the arrow had to be sent, she had no way back, and then returned to the Lin family or went directly to the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, it was estimated that the road would be blocked, so she could only use all means to get to the Huo family first.

No matter what, as long as she enters the Huo family, Quan Meihuan will not watch her being taken away by the Zhou family.

Zhou Lou's heart beat faster, this Lin Er's eyes were so sharp, she pulled out her palms for this reason, after all, there was still the Xiangyang Hou Mansion standing behind Lin Qi, what she wanted to think about was how to do it without knowing it, and before she could think of a good countermeasure, the door of the Huo family was pushed open, and at this moment her eyes suddenly widened, gesturing to those people to make them faster.

Who knows that although this group of people has a bit of martial arts foundation, they are not as strong as the border generals, Huo Yuan was on the way to the gate, his ears moved, there was something strange at the door, and the squeaky sound was made by Lin Qi, this heart suddenly became anxious, and it took less time to rush out of the gate.

When he rushed out of the door, he happened to see a few people escorting a young girl to leave quickly, this girl's back was only a glance, he could recognize it, who else could it be besides Lin Qi?

Furious, he immediately stepped forward and kicked away a person, those individuals raised their fists and wanted to turn around and hit Huo Yuan, Huo Yuan just smiled coldly, just with this kind of strength of the fist can knock him down? What a joke.

He grabbed Lin Qi with one hand, but with the other hand, he wrapped the fist that the man swung over, flew up with one kick and kicked the sneak attacker, and with one spin, he took Lin Qi to his side, rushed left and right, and several big men immediately fell to the ground.

When Lin Qi saw him appear, her eyes immediately became bright, and her heart suddenly quieted down, with him here, what else was she afraid of?

Zhou Lou in the carriage in the shadow was with his eyes wide open, and he couldn't help clenching his fists, seeing that he could successfully take Lin Qi away, how could this Huo Yuan kill him halfway? What should I do now?

At this time, she felt that she was impulsive, what this girl said really had to be believed, and now she came to kidnap people recklessly, and it was easy to say that she succeeded, but now she is a failure, and it is this one in front of the Huo family, how can she round this matter without setting herself on fire? The more I think about it, the more anxious I become an ant on a hot pot, and I can't help but hate my daughter for burning incense in the temple and not letting her purify her heart. Now it's okay, cause trouble, and make her mother uneasy.

"Madam, what should I do?" The henchman also looked like she was burning her eyebrows, especially when she saw that the Huo family was all worried about her wife's reputation and status because of the commotion at the door, this Lin Er girl was not afraid, but the eldest girl of the Lin family couldn't afford to provoke her.

Zhou Lou glared at her, "Aren't I thinking of a way?" ”

The people who did it this time were all well arranged, and seeing that they were tied up by Huo Yuan like a grasshopper, how could a few subordinates who knew a little kung fu be compared with the famous generals, and it was not enough for people to stuff their teeth.

When Zhou Lou had a headache, Huo Yuan had already cleaned up a few strong men who came to the Huo family without permission to kidnap people.

When Quan Meihuan rushed out of the gate and saw her daughter standing next to Huo Yuan, she hurriedly stepped forward to pull her to her side without saying a word, and absolutely did not allow the two of them to stand together, "Sister Qi, what the hell is going on?" ”

Lin Qi frowned slightly because of her mother's actions, but in public, she was not good at conflict with her mother, and her daughter's face still had to be scrupulous.

When Huo Yuan finished cleaning up these people, he also turned to look at Lin Qi, and the corners of his eyes naturally swept the eyes and movements of Quan Meihuan's stepmother, and he also felt funny and uncomfortable in his heart, but what should be asked is to ask, "Second Miss Lin, what happened?" ”

Even if Lin Qi's hand was restrained by his mother, he still kicked a few strong men who dared to kidnap her a few times in anger, this move made Quan Meihuan frown, and the Huo family's mother and son behind were disgusted, but Huo Yuan had a smile on his face, even if his sweetheart made such a rude move, it was good to look at in his eyes, and he felt that Lin Qi with such a true temperament was the most cute.

After getting angry, Lin Qi said: "I don't know who they sent from. ”

She really didn't know, but they appeared out of thin air when the carriage with Erniang drove into the alley, so she had to deal with it first, thinking of Lin Lu's family, she hurriedly reached out and pulled Huo Yuan's sleeve, and said quickly: "My Erniang is only afraid of being arrested by them, you go and rescue her, by the way, there is a noble lady in the carriage over there, she should be the messenger......" She pointed to the place where Zhou Lou was hiding before.

Quan Meihuan pulled away her hand holding Huo Yuan's sleeve with a persuasion, what is it to pull and pull in broad daylight, she glared at her daughter, this is against etiquette, so Xie Yu'an taught her daughter like this? She is still a famous female teacher.

Lin Qi felt that her mother was a little unreasonable at this time, but now was not the time to argue, she was still worried about Lin Lu's in her heart, and even the reason for coming here had to be postponed, and her second mother should be rescued first.

Huo Yuan comforted: "Don't worry, I'll go and see ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, the carriage in the shadows drove up in a majestic manner, and everyone again watched speechlessly as the splendid carriage drove by.

Quan Meihuan squinted slightly, this is the carriage of Viscount Zhou's family.

When the carriage drove to the door of the Huo family, I saw that the curtain of the carriage was lifted, first a person dressed like a big girl came down first, put down the stepping stool, and then saw a middle-aged grandmother helping Zhou Lou, who was dressed in a gorgeous costume, to walk down from the carriage slowly.

Zhou Lou had a smile on his face, and when he was about to speak, Lin Qi pointed at her with wide eyes and said, "That's right, it's her, it's this woman who instructed these strong men to kidnap me......"

Before she finished her words, Quan Meihuan dragged her daughter, and said in a slightly stern voice: "This is Viscountess Zhou, don't make a fool of yourself." She was afraid that her little daughter would cause trouble again.

Lin Qi looked at her in disbelief, she was in danger now because of the woman in front of her, instead of blaming the other party, she said that she was shouting blindly, and suddenly her anger rose, she pulled out the hand that was held by her biological mother, and she was extremely disappointed in her mother.

Huo Yuan glanced at Lin Qi soothingly, and then looked at Zhou Lou with a straight face, "This is the gate of my Huo family, what does my cousin mean by kidnapping people here?" Even if my Huo family does not return to the glory of the past, I, Huo Yuan, am still a minister of the Son of Heaven, and I can't tolerate you being humiliated like this? ”

Zhou Lou's expression moved slightly when she heard Huo Yuan's righteous and stern words, she really underestimated this general before, but now she is at a disadvantage, the smile on her face just condensed slightly and then smiled brightly, "This is a misunderstanding, cousin, don't be anxious, I will explain it clearly." ”

"What misunderstanding?" Lin Qi looked angry, the previous danger took root in her heart, if she was arrested, she was afraid that her life would not be guaranteed, what kind of misunderstanding was this? "I have never met my wife, so why did she order someone to come and take me captive? Isn't this a misunderstanding that can be explained? Then he nodded thoughtfully, "You're Mrs. Zhou, oh, I understand......"

When Zhou Lou heard the last elongated voice, he smiled, and then said sharply: "You understand, hurry up and return my daughter's gem gold hairpin, this is the heirloom of our Zhou family, my daughter wore incense in the temple today, but it turned out to be gone, and when you were looking for it, you took the opportunity to leave, we don't look for who you are looking for?" I wanted to ask you to come over and ask clearly, but you guys shot first, and you still ran to the door of the Huo family, I was in a hurry to find the lost property, so I let people pull you over to talk back, but I was met by my nephew, thinking that I wanted to kidnap someone, isn't this a misunderstanding? ”

She finished speaking in one breath, coupled with the angry look on her face, which was quite convincing.

Quan Meihuan frowned, what the hell was Knowles talking about this week, "Impossible, how could my sister Qi do such a thing......"

"Is it possible, let me search." Zhou Lou said toughly, and glanced at his henchmen on the side.

Just when this henchman was about to step forward to pull Lin Qi, Huo Yuan drew his long sword and pointed at the grandmother with a "brush", and said coldly: "You dare." ”

He would never let people humiliate Lin Qi like this, if he really let him be searched, this would not be to show that Lin Qi had stolen the Zhou family's property.

When Huo Zhou saw his grandson's move, he was immediately so angry that he asked people to lift him forward and said busily; "Brother Yuan, what are you doing? Always pointing around with a sword, this is your cousin. The eyes looked at Lin Qi contemptuously, "A daughter who is in a broken household, when she sees the good things worn by others, it is not surprising that she secretly took it with red eyes, after all, she has never seen the world......"

Halfway through her speech, when she saw her grandson's shivering gaze, she immediately stopped in fright when she thought that her grandson had split her bed in a fit of rage.

Zhou Lou nodded and said, "I know that Miss Lin has a noble status, and these two girls will also live a good life, but people are used to being poor, and now there are not too many good things, and when I saw the jewelry on Zhiqing's body for a while, I thought crookedly, which of my daughter's family is not like this?" If I really like it, for the sake of our two families getting married, will I still be stingy with such a little thing? I sent it. Slightly raised her chin and looked at Lin Qi, "Second Miss Lin should hurry up and return the things, so as not to spread it out and make people laugh......"

Huo Yuan's face turned blue with anger, who are these two people, and said sternly: "Don't say it so ugly, aunt cousin, you want to take the stolen goods if you catch a thief, you said that Second Miss Lin stole your daughter's things, but there are people to show physical evidence?" If not, you are slandering, and when the time comes, you really have to be investigated, and your cousin and aunt should not shout injustice. ”

Zhou Lou's expression was still calm, "I found it, and there is naturally evidence, why is my cousin in a hurry?" Looking at Lin Qi, "Second Miss Lin, you still have to think about it, you are still young, and I don't want to be too difficult for you, I will not let this matter be spread and ruin your reputation, but the premise is that you have to understand the cause and effect." ”

The words threatened Lin Qi with words, asking her to control her mouth.

Lin Qi, who was so angry and shivering, was restraining her impulse, she could see clearly what Zhou Lou's was doing with this dirty mouth, this was to deduct her hat so that she could not expose Zhou Zhiqing's ugly things, if it was exposed, she would also be charged with revenge for splashing dirty water.

However, compared to this suspected theft charge, Zhou Zhiqing's scandal can ruin a person even more, even if it is chasing the wind and shadows, Zhou Zhiqing will not be able to raise her head and be a person in the future.

Comparing the two, she Lin Qi is dead to Zhou Lou's at this time, she doesn't believe what she hasn't done, how does she Zhou Lou splash her dirty water? Besides, her sister is not easy to mess with, can she watch her being accused of being tampered with?

After thinking about it, she sneered, pushed away Quan Meihuan and grabbed her hand to make her calm down, she didn't plan to calm things down, she wanted to see who could have the last laugh.

"It's hard for Mrs. Zhou to bother to deal with me so much, isn't she afraid that I will publicize your daughter's ugly things with my big mouth? What's wrong? I'm so careful, your daughter doesn't keep chastity and has an affair with the little guy in the house, and even has a secret knot, do you dare to say that there is no such thing? ”

As soon as these words landed, everyone in the Huo family looked at Zhou Lou in disbelief.

Where could Huo Zhou's family still care about Lin Qi's public case, but looked at Zhou Lou's with a fierce voice, "Is what the cheap hooves said true?" Did your daughter really get her belly bigger? ”

Quan Meihuan's eyes also widened, this week Zhiqing looks like a lady, it turns out that carrying people behind her back is such a debauched situation, she really can't believe it, what family's daughter would be so stupid to fornicate with her subordinates, don't they know that there is no good result if the identity is not equal? Hurriedly pulled her daughter again, "Sister Qi, you can't talk nonsense about this......"

Lin Qi shook off her mother's hand, when was it, she thought she would be targetless, coldly glanced at Zhou Lou's instantly pale face and eager to eat her, and snorted from her nose, "Mrs. Zhou, do you dare to deny it?" That's the truth, you kidnapped me to shut me up and keep me from exposing it. Originally, I only wanted to mention it privately, but you can put on such a big battle, if I make it into a gentle drizzle, won't I be afraid of you? ”

"You, you cheap girl shut up for me, I'm the lady of the imperial court, you are disrespectful to me, and it is a serious crime to commit the following." Zhou Lou didn't expect this girl to have such a temperament, she still has Lin Lu in her hand, as long as she is willing to calm things down, she will let her go, how do you know that this girl will be such a dead brain, what is the benefit of her to knock down like this? "Miss Lin is the county lord and Mrs. Xiangyang Hou, I naturally know, but this identity is not you, Miss Lin, you are thinking twice, don't say such a crime to destroy her reputation in order to take revenge on me and my daughter, this is an insult to my Zhou family, I will not give up lightly."

"Revenge?" Lin Qi sneered, "I'll take revenge on you, what's the matter?" You don't give up, just right, I won't give up lightly, it's about my reputation, how can I be tarnished by you? Do you think I'm your unruly daughter, do you dare to ask her to let the doctor check her pulse in public? ”

This is a fearless shout, Zhou Lou hated it in his heart, but he didn't dare to fight back when he didn't think about it.

Huo Yuan figured out the cause and effect, and looked at his cousin and aunt more and more coldly, since the defeat of the Huo family, his grandmother had never planned to marry him to a famous family, but the Zhou family took the initiative to mention the marriage, contrary to the previous cold attitude towards the Huo family, he had long been suspicious, this week Zhiqing is not missing arms and legs, looks good, and has a good reputation in the capital, but she wants to marry him with dignity? If it's not weird, no one really believes it.

He is no better than a civilian official, the Dashun Dynasty has always been strict with the military generals, in addition to the border pass has military power, as long as he returns to Beijing, he has to return the military power to the saint, before he has not found a real shortage, the idle military generals do not have much oil and water to fish.

In this way, he can enter the eyes of ordinary official eunuchs and housewives, for the top powerful and wealthy families, he is really not enough, if the Huo family still has the title of Earl Linyi, it will be another matter.

"Aunt cousin, your Zhou family looks down on my Huo family too much, even if I Huo Yuan doesn't have a title today, it's not something you can bully casually, you actually want to marry an unchaste and unclean girl who is secretly married to me, Aunt cousin, my Huo Yuan is not so bad as to marry such a rotten thing."

When Huo Zhou's and Huo Yan's mother and son heard Huo Yuan say this, they didn't even think of stopping him, they both glared at Zhou Lou's angrily, which was simply too deceitful.

"Brother Yuan, it's my grandmother who is blind and found you such a wife as a wife, I am still the old aunt and grandmother of the Zhou family, how can I swallow this breath?" Huo Zhou's family was so angry that he shivered all over, if she really married this woman into the door, she would not be able to escape her guilt even if she died, and she would have no shame to face the ancestors of the Huo family under Jiuquan.

First the granddaughter lost the title, and then she wanted to marry her grandson to a virgin slut, just thinking about it, Huo Zhou's felt depressed, but when she was angry, she hated Zhou Lou's nephew and daughter-in-law even more, which was to trample her old aunt and grandmother to the ground.

Even Quan Meihuan didn't dare to talk nonsense, when she thought that this marriage could be renewed because of her interference, she was so ashamed that she couldn't see anyone, this week Zhiqing was really cheap.

Zhou Lou tried hard to stabilize his expression, "There is no such thing, why did your Huo family believe what a yellow-haired girl said so lightly, not to mention that she also said that this was revenge on my Zhou family, she stole the Zhou family's property and poured dirty water, this is punishable, why don't you understand?" ”

Lin Qi was immediately angry when she heard this, and wanted to reason again, but Huo Yuan glanced at her to make her feel at ease, so she snorted coldly and didn't say anything sarcastic.

Huo Yuan looked at his cousin and aunt this week coldly, of course he only believed in Lin Qi, not because Lin Qi was his sweetheart, but because he knew what kind of girl she was, she may have shortcomings, but she was definitely not despicable, and his understanding of this point was deep in the bone marrow.

"True or false, someone can verify it, and then I will ask the doctor to come and check the pulse of Cousin Zhou, and the truth will be revealed, if Miss Lin Er slandered Cousin Zhou, then I, Huo Yuan, will personally come to your Zhou family to ask for the guilt." His eyes flashed coldly, "If it is confirmed that what Miss Lin Er said is true, and your Zhou family slandered her for stealing, unless your cousin is willing to apologize in public, or ......"

He suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist and swung it towards the Zhou family's carriage, and the gorgeous carriage suddenly split in half.

"Otherwise, I, Huo Yuan, will definitely not die, but I will also be entangled to the end."

He would never allow anyone to frame Lin Qi and damage her reputation.

Lin Qi always knew that Huo Yuan was very handsome and handsome, but she didn't know that he could be so handsome that it made her heart beat faster, looking at him at this time, her heart couldn't stop beating wildly, her cheeks were slowly dyed red, and she grew so big, this was the first time that a man maintained her like this, and had no blood relationship with her.

This heart was so moved that he wanted to fly to him, but he didn't dare to express it in front of others.

What girl doesn't have a spring? She is no exception, although she said that she would not marry or something, but in her heart she still longed for such a person to shelter her from the wind and rain, just like her brother-in-law treats her eldest sister, but such people are rare in the world, how can she meet them if she wants to?

But now that there is one in front of her, she suddenly feels that she has so many scruples before that she seems weak and stupid, and what if her family opposes it? She should convince them, not settle for the next best, even if she hides to the ends of the earth, she can't escape what she thinks in her heart.

She, Lin Qi, is so hopelessly in love with a man, even though the relationship between this man and her is awkward, she still has no hesitation.

The burning gaze almost burned his back, and as soon as Huo Yuan turned around, he crashed into her eyes full of emotion, slightly stunned, as if he had a well-informed heart, he understood the meaning expressed by her eyes, even if it was out of place, the four words of joy still emerged from the bottom of his heart.

This is the first time that Lin Qi has expressed his feelings for him so clearly, and decided to break through the existing barriers for the sake of this relationship that should not exist.

She was so cute like this, he wanted to immediately take her into his arms and love her wantonly, but it was not a good time in front of him, and he secretly felt pity.

The two of them looked at each other with their eyebrows, and Zhou Lou, who was scared half to death, didn't notice it, the Huo family's mother and son and Quan Meihuan were all clear at a glance, and the expressions of the three of them were different, and they were uncomfortable.

Could it really be that you can't stop it? The more he asked, the more worried he became, and Huo Zhou's face even showed a bad face, obviously disgusted with Lin Qi.

But for Lin Qi, what does it matter? She glanced at Huo Zhou's family, and then she didn't care anymore, and she didn't pay attention to it at all.

An old pious woman who is about to die, she is not afraid of her.

Zhou Lou's hand clenched fiercely to hold her hand with the henchman on the side, and refused fiercely, "Impossible, my daughter is still a yellow flower girl, how can I let you be so ruined?" ”

"Impossible?" When Huo Yuan heard this, he sneered, "I'm afraid that I can't help but cousin you." ”――

Sorry, it's late, but a dream went to draw a circle by himself to reflect......
