Chapter 229: Survive
Huo Shijiu rarely paid attention to Aunt Miao, even if she was his childhood sweetheart, after she chose someone else, he couldn't be interested in her anymore, and he didn't care about the girl next to Aunt Miao, at first glance, he naturally didn't recognize this person. Fortunately, he had an excellent memory, squinted his eyes, and said, "Gu Xiang? ”
"The servant is here." Gu Xiang raised her face, her red and swollen eyes were full of begging, and she kowtowed: "Master Hou, my aunt will never dare anymore, my aunt is sincere to you, how can I not have the slightest intention of murdering you!" It wasn't that aunt wanted to harm people, it was the aunt who asked the maid to buy it when she said that there were rats in the house. If you don't believe me, there should be a record in the pharmacy, and you can check it. My aunt is infatuated with you, you can not like your aunt, but you can't wronged her! Please be merciful and spare your aunt! ”
Gu Xiang said a lot at length, and seemed to feel that what he said was inappropriate in front of his master, he bit his lip, and kowtowed again and again: "The maid knows that he is overdue, and he will go to collect the fine later, Master Hou, you can dispose of the maid at will, whatever you want, please don't wronged your aunt." ”
Huo Shijiu lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Xiang, but he was not as angry as she guessed. Instead, he smiled playfully and said, "She's lucky to have a loyal girl like you by her side." Get up. ”
Gu Xiang was stunned for a moment, raised her head, and touched the tears on her face. I was very surprised that Master Hou, who was so high up that he didn't even bother to talk to anyone, would be so kind to her little girl.
Huo Shijiu said gently: "The merits are not something that you can judge." There you go. ”
"Master Hou......" Gu Xiang's tears flowed down again, and just as she opened her mouth to ask again, the housekeeper who had just arrived on the side stepped forward to salute Huo Shijiu with a smile on her face: "Master Hou is angry." This girl can't figure it out. The old slave will take people down to discipline them. "One didn't look at it and let this girl run. If it weren't for the luck of catching up with Hou Ye today, would she still be alive?
"You dead hoof, don't you hurry up! Don't get in the way of here! ”
Gu Xiang was pulled up by the housekeeper and took it off. She struggled, but in the face of Huo Nineteen's cold gaze, the strength of the struggle was weak. The courage to rush in a hurry seemed to have been exhausted.
Seeing that the housekeeper and Gu Xiang were about to leave the courtyard, Huo Shijiu said lightly: "Gu Xiang is loyal, her heart should be a watch, and don't treat her harshly." ”
The housekeeper was really surprised when she heard this. Immediately turned around. Accompanied by a smile and saluted: "What Master Hou said is very true, the old slave obeys orders. Kicked Gu Xiang again, "It's not Malier's thanksgiving!" Master Hou has spared your life. ”
Gu Xiang was still in shock, originally she still felt that Huo Shijiu only loved his wife wholeheartedly, and even Aunt Miao, who had been with him for many years, was very ruthless, but now it seems that Huo Shijiu was shaken because Huo Shijiu did not blame her for her recklessness.
The aunt told her to buy arsenic...... I did go to the kitchenette.
"The servant thanked the Hou Ye." Gu Xiang kowtowed.
Huo Jiu waved his hand casually to signal the two to leave, and only turned around when the housekeeper pulled Gu Xiang to retreat, and saw Jiang Yu standing not far away with a smile, Xu is sunny in the greenhouse. She wore thick clothes again and did some work for a while, and now there was some fine sweat on her forehead. The hair hanging down from her sideburns also looked damp, making her ruddy face delicate like the buds of the branches in early spring.
"Girl." As soon as he saw her, he couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Yan stretched her hands, her fingers were covered with mud, and she came to him with a smile and said, "What's wrong with Aunt Miao?" She's been in peace for a long time. ”
Huo Jiujiu walked side by side with her to the warm house, and said: "The desire is insatiable, if she was driven out of the door and let her live a life without food and clothing, all she was thinking about was how to live, but she didn't have the heart to think about those who didn't have it." Now that I feed her and clothe her, she thinks about how to get more. ”
"It's human nature." Jiang Yu didn't ask Huo Shijiu what Aunt Miao had done, Huo Shijiu was reluctant to talk to her, that is, he had his own considerations, and she believed him.
Huo Jiujiu didn't see her asking, and he liked her temperament a little more deeply, no man would want his wife to distrust him. There is no man who wants his wife to bite the of the past all day long. Jiang Fei will never turn over old accounts, even if it is what happens in front of her, Jiang Yu will not ask lightly. Unless he does something that would endanger his own safety.
Back in the greenhouse, Huo Dazhuan asked Huo 19 a few words, and Huo 19 only said that it was an official matter. Although Huo Dazhuan has some desire to control his son, he also knows that he knows little about the affairs of the court, and it is difficult to interfere, so he will not ask.
When it was time for dinner, Jiang Yu took seven catties back to Xiaoyi Courtyard and hugged the child to play on the warm kang.
Huo Shijiu and Cao Yu went to the outer courtyard, a remote courtyard.
There are Huo 19's capable subordinates interrogating here.
Aunt Miao's snow-white middle coat has been pulled out of the staggered dark red blood marks, and her sideburns are scattered and her hands are half-hanging. When Huo Jiujiu and Cao Yu entered the door, she had already fainted, and she was drooping her head, and the wolf was unbearable.
Seeing Huo Shijiu enter the door, the two middle-aged men saluted: "Master Hou." ”
"Well, wake her up. I have something to ask. ”
"Yes."
Both men are veterans, and they will never be ambiguous about the execution of prisoners, even if they are women. At that moment, he took cold water and splashed it on Aunt Miao's head and face.
The whip wounds on Aunt Miao's body were staggered, and she was already fainting from pain, but suddenly cold water came to her head, which stimulated the wounds on her body as painful as applying chili peppers, and she screamed and opened her eyes.
She thought she was screaming loudly, but it stopped in the ears of others and was just a moan.
"Master Hou, she's awake."
"Stand down."
"Yes."
The two men retreated, and only Cao Yu was left by Huo Shijiu's side.
Aunt Miao thought she was dazzled, looked blankly in the direction of Huo Shijiu, focused on the focus for a long time, and suddenly choked up and cried: "A-Ying, you came to save me, you finally came, I know you are reluctant to me, I know that you still have feelings for me." A-Ying, I was wronged, it must be Gu Xiang, Gu Xiang wronged me! ”
Huo Shijiu raised his eyebrows, sat down on the circle chair near the window, and knocked on the armrest of the mahogany chair with his index finger, "Yes, what you said is not quite consistent with what Gu Xiang said." ”
"I was wronged! It's Gu Xiang, she's trying to harm me! Master Hou, I admit that I am still not dead to you, that is because the relationship between you and me is accumulated over time, and it is not something that can be interrupted by a sudden step in the foot, I am jealous and jealous, but I am not the vicious person, you know me! I know that my in-laws don't like me, and Miss Jiang is also ......"
Huo Jiuyi waved his hand and interrupted her with a cold expression: "I think you haven't put yourself in the right position yet." ”
Aunt Miao was stunned for a moment, Huo Shijiu's cold eyes were even more unbearable than the whiplash wound she was shouting about now, "You ......"
"You're just a concubine. Besides, I didn't ask for your body, I just looked at you pitiful that day, and wanted to find a reason to give you a proper position, so that you can enter the house than you are precarious outside. I made these things clear to you when you entered the house, and I also said that one day in the future, if you have someone you like, you can also talk to me. Indeed, I will fulfill you. ”
"But everyone knows that I am your woman, who dares to ask me!"
"If you weren't 'my' woman, would you still be alive today? You could have chosen to die that honorably. Huo Jiujiu told the truth, "Since you are willing to be a concubine in order to save your life, you must abide by the concubine way." Now my parents are not your in-laws, my wife is your master, she is the emperor's own decree, and she is the biological mother of the Hou Shizi of Jinning. Her identity is far more noble than yours, I just want to leave you a way to live for the sake of young acquaintances, but I didn't expect you to be so restless. ”
Aunt Miao's eyes burst out with angry flames: "I can too!" As long as you are willing to give, I can be as noble as the Jiang family! Why her? She's just a yellow-haired girl, and she's been disrespectful to you many times, why can't you see me who has always been in love with you! ”
"Affectionate?" Huo Jiu was amused by Aunt Miao: "Your affection is deep, I don't dare to compliment you."
When he is not smiling, his beautiful eyebrows and eyes shine with a light that repels people from thousands of miles away. When he smiled, he showed his white teeth like braided shells, as if he was ten years younger all of a sudden, but he was a little childish.
Originally, such a smile could fascinate Aunt Miao.
But now his smile was like a knife, cutting another knife on her scarred body.
At the beginning, it was indeed she who thought he was in vain......
"Ah Ying ......"
"Let's get down to business." Huo Jiujiu didn't want to listen to a woman who loved vanity and was bent on murdering Jiang Yan to tell her heartfelt words, so he directly interrupted her words and said, "If you sue me, who instructed you to do this, I will leave you a way out." ”
Aunt Miao's body was shocked, and the whiplash wound was triggered, and there was a piercing pain.
When Huo Shijiu saw her look like this, he knew that there must be something inside, and he was not anxious, but ordered someone to serve tea, and sat there with a wide tea in a slow manner.
Aunt Miao bit her lower lip nervously. His expression was very embarrassed.
"A-Ying, do you really have no feelings for me?"
Huo Shijiu made a gesture in his hand and said, "Where do I make you feel that I still have affection for you?" ”
A rhetorical question made Aunt Miao's face burn like a fire, "You ......"
"I'm just providing you with food and clothing, but it's just a good heart, if you think that this means that I have affection for you, you feel too good. Today, if you tell the truth, you can still have a way to live, if you don't say it, I can only pull out your valve. If you want to put arsenic on the soup of the woman, it is not that I am lying to you. ”
Aunt Miao really wanted to say, "Then you can come and kill me." But she was still afraid that the inhuman life she had lived as an official prostitute was so hard, and she always thought that it was better to live, and it was better to die than to live...... (To be continued......)
