Chapter 30: Deception
30. Deception
After breakfast, Huo Mei walked around the General's Mansion, originally going to Mrs. Wei's courtyard to ask for peace, but Mama Liu, who was next to Mrs. Wei, came to pass the word, saying that there was no need to go to ask for peace today, and Huo Mei said that she would take a walk in the General's Mansion and familiarize herself with the environment by the way.
Linglong was sent back by Huo Mei to rest and didn't show up, Huo Mei took Xiaohong to walk around in the general's mansion, walked to the lake in the back garden, Huo Mei sat on the stone bench by the lake to rest, Xiaohong saw that Huo Mei's forehead was sweating, so he retreated and brought some tea to Huo Mei.
This back garden is not unfamiliar, and this lake is even quieter, because of the remote terrain, few people usually come, even the cleaning servants rarely come here, and because of this, Huomei wants to be quiet here, think about the way out in the future.
It's just that a faint aroma of herbs came from his nose and shocked Huo Mei's mind, it was the smell of Wei Ling's body, could it be that Wei Ling was nearby?
Thinking of this, Huo Mei got up and began to look for Wei Ling's traces around, looking for the smell of Wei Ling's body, Huo Mei walked across the stone bridge to the rockery in the center of the lake. Because it is remote and built in the middle of the lake, there are fewer people who come, and the rockery is surrounded by weeds, but Huo Mei smells the smell and comes, and the smell becomes more and more strong after this.
There was no way Huo Mei could only go inside, until he came to the entrance of a cave, and vaguely Huo Mei saw that something seemed to be flashing inside, so he was even more curious, slowed down and bent into the hole, but just after entering the hole, before she could straighten up, she heard a familiar voice coming.
"Kneeling all night, do you know what's wrong?" If Huo Mei heard it correctly, this should be the voice of Old Madam Wei, and her heart was full of suspicions, so she didn't dare to enter rashly, but continued to squat at the entrance of the cave and listen.
"Do you still refuse to admit your mistake? How did Wei Niang tell you, let you cooperate with your brother must get Moxiang Pavilion from the third miss of the Huo family, but what about you? But one night, the soul of the slut surnamed Huo was snatched away! You must know that the Huo family is the enemy of the Wei family, and I don't want you to be confused by asking to marry Huo Guang's daughter! With a pop, a certain string in Huo Mei's heart seemed to be broken, could it be that Wei Ling also had a conspiracy to approach him?
"The son doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong, my brother used such an inferior method to destroy a woman's innocence, even if he got Moxiang Pavilion?" With a snap, it should be Mrs. Wei who slapped Wei Ling, and Huo Mei felt that the tip of her heart was stabbed, and the pain was very great.
"You don't know whether to live or die, if I hadn't come up with this plan for His Majesty that day, do you think Huo Guang's old puppet would have succumbed? They will definitely not give Moxiang Pavilion to His Majesty, so I want you to start with this Huo Jun, since they are siblings, how could they not know about Moxiang Pavilion! Otherwise, as long as you let this be obedient, wouldn't it be better to let her go to her sister to find out the truth? ”
It turned out that Mrs. Wei had such an idea, but when did Liu Xun become Wei Ling's brother?
"Forgive my son for not being able to do it, and since I have married a wife, I will not neglect her in vain! As for Moxiang Pavilion, it was my brother's wishful thinking, if he wanted to, he would just let him get it himself, I don't want to wade into this troubled water. ”
"You rebel!" There was another slap in the face, and Mrs. Wei estimated that she was not lightly angry.
"Have you long liked the second miss of this Sima Mansion, that day I was also in that courtyard, and I saw a man in black holding a woman from the courtyard, you said, did you find that the second lady was also in the courtyard, so you took her away?"
The more Huo Mei heard this, the more confused he became, what other courtyard? What's the second miss? Confused Khomey.
"His Majesty wants the third miss of the Huo family, but my mother got the second miss and the third miss into the room, what is the intention?"
"You... You... You're a rebel......"
The jaw applause was replaced by a whooshing sound, Huo Mei listened to it for a long time before she found out that it was the sound of a whip, leaned out and wanted to enter the cave to see, but found that there was only a small stone cave in front of her, which seemed to be a hole for ventilation, and she couldn't see anything inside, she could only see the night pearl on the wall, and the light she saw just now was probably reflected by the night pearl.
"Do you say yes or no?" Huo Mei heard Mrs. Wei panting, it seemed that she was tired.
"I have my own opinion about the matter of Moxiang Pavilion, one day I will hand it over to my brother, as for the matter of my inner courtyard, my mother should not ask about it, let alone hurt her!"
I don't know why, at this moment, Huo Mei really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, and laughed, laughing at herself for consciously jumping from one fire pit to another, not only that, but she also jumped into it willingly, in this world, if even Wei Ling would deceive her for the sake of Moxiang Pavilion, then who else could she trust?
Holding the Jinpa tightly in his hand, Huo Mei climbed out of the stone cave with difficulty, felt top-heavy when he stood up, just walked on the stone bridge and felt that his heart was stagnant, as if there was a stream of heat surging up from his chest, he hurriedly covered his mouth with Jinpa, but he still vomited a mouthful of blood, seeing the red on the Jinpa, Huo Mei smiled sadly, a gust of wind blew, Jinpa was blown away, Huo Mei did not look for it, but walked across the stone bridge to the direction of Yunxiangyuan.
The General's Mansion is not big, so Xiaohong came back and didn't see Huo Mei, so she hurriedly searched all over the General's Mansion, and even went to the study, although she didn't break in, but Gongsun Shi said that Huo Mei didn't appear here, and Xiaohong was embarrassed to break in.
I wanted to see Yunxiangyuan to see if Huo Mei was back, but I didn't want to meet Huo Mei with a pale face on the road, Xiaohong was startled and hurriedly greeted her.
"Miss, where have you been? Let the slave and maid be easy to find! ”
Huo Mei didn't speak, and motioned to Xiaohong to Yunxiangyuan with his eyes, Xiaohong saw the strangeness in Huo Mei's eyes, and didn't dare to sloppily help Huo Mei back to Yunxiang Garden, as soon as he returned to the bedroom, Huo Mei shut himself up, and inserted the door bolt from the inside, even for lunch, Xiaohong knocked on the door for half an hour, and Huo Mei inside did not react, Xiaohong was so anxious that she almost jumped out of the window.
Just when Xiaohong was at a loss, Wei Ling came back, and Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief.
"I've seen the general!"
"What's wrong with ma'am?" Seeing a group of maidservants standing outside the door, Wei Ling probably knew that Huo Mei must have been angry, and when he saw the maidservants with the lunch tray in their hands, Wei Ling only felt a tingling in his heart, thinking, Huo Mei was probably disappointed in himself.
