The emperor originally expected that Gu Shangjin would bite He Guang, but he just silently took the sin himself, as if the matter had nothing to do with He Guang.

In fact, this is all agreed between He Guang and Gu Shangjin before, even if he is arrested, he can't betray the other party, because he has to rely on the other party to save himself from prison, and besides, He Guang threatens Gu Shangjin's relatives, if Gu Shangjin dares to say something unfavorable to He Guang, the more than 40 members of the Gu family will probably disappear overnight.

Knowing that Gu Shangjin could not bite out He Guang, the emperor no longer had much hope, he said to his subordinates: "Put Gu Shangjin into the prison, from now on, order Li Shijun to be the secretary of the military department, carefully and thoroughly investigate the private guards and weapons of the Zhongqing family, if it exceeds the number I said, all of them will not be included in the military department, and all violators will be sent to the prison and retreat from the court!" ”

The sudden chaos made He Guang completely powerless to parry, his left arm was removed, and he began to be anxious.

The abandoned house is located in the woods ten miles away from the Huo Mansion, about five miles away from the nearest village, there are no other homes nearby, it is quite secluded, and it has been uninhabited for many years, and the house has long been full of cobwebs.

The subordinates of Huo Mansion all say that the abandoned house is like the cold palace of Huo Mansion, and they will say this not because it is used to confine people, but because the house is old, and the cold wind pours in in winter, making the house cold, so that it has the nickname of Cold Palace.

The coachman who sent the young lady and her group to come and the housekeeper who followed them to clean up, all the gossips they said along the way entered Zhang Ruoxi's ears, and Chun'er was even more worried.

Because the young master said that he would only give them a small amount of silver taels to let them live, and the valuable jewelry was also deducted by Aunt He, and they had to figure out how to do it themselves, but the young lady, the little lady, the nurse and her had no ability to make a living outside, and Chun'er was really afraid that they would all starve to death and freeze to death in the abandoned house.

In Taiwan, Zhang Ruoxi has never experienced this kind of cold living environment, but she has always been a very tough woman, no matter how bad the environment, she has never been knocked down, so she is convinced that even here, she can live a happy life, perhaps far more relaxed than in Huo Zhai, the point is that she can be with her children, which is more important than anything else.

She quickly cheered up and instructed Chun'er, who was still flustering on the side, "It's not cold when you move, go and raise the fire, don't let Xiangning freeze." ”

"Yes." Chun'er hurriedly went to fetch firewood, raised the fire, and a pot of fire warmed the house and the hearts of several people.

After the house was cleaned slightly, they let the coachman drive them back to Huo's house, and of course, they had to do the rest.

Looking at the dust in the room, Zhang Ruoxi, who had worked hard, made another mistake, took a broom and began to clean.

Seeing this, Chun'er and the nurse hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade her, "Young lady, leave this kind of rough work to us, you can't do it!" ”

There's nothing you can't do, speaking of which, you are still burdened by me, and with a master like me, you have worked hard."

Gradually, Zhang Ruoxi is more accepting of her current identity, and on the way here today, she also decided to start a new life with the name Liu Qiaoruo, anyway, if you encounter a problem, just find a way to solve it.

She worked hard to clean the house inside and out with Chun'er and the nurse, and also stir-fried on the burning stove, in order to save some firewood.

In modern times, she is a standard cook, so housework is not difficult for her at all, but seeing her cleaning and washing her hands to make soup, Chun'er and the nurse are very surprised.

"Young lady, do you know how to cook?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

You've never done these things before."

It's really nerve-wracking. In order to make Chun'er and the nurse not too shocked, Zhang Ruoxi-Liu Qiaoruo hurriedly explained, "I used to cook in my mother's house, but I haven't been doing it since I got married, so there's no need to make too much of a fuss, we have to rely on ourselves in the future, and I will also share the housework, Chun'er, tomorrow, you go to the market to buy some vegetables and come back to pickle, this is a cold winter, we have to prepare some food, so that we don't have anything to eat when the snowstorm comes." ”

"Okay."

Liu Qiaoruo's thoughts turned, Huo Qiyou only gave them a little silver every month to live, did he want them to fend for themselves? and He Qihuang, who must be secretly snickering now, finally kicked her, a young lady who occupies a pit and doesn't, out of the Huo Mansion, and the Huo Mansion will be her alone in the future.

But she will never fall, and she will live well, so that all those who want to see them fall through their glasses!

In Huo's house, Huo Qiyou had no sleep all night, pacing around in the study, as if he was thinking about something important, and seemed to be worrying about something, but it was more like waiting for someone to arrive.

Outside the window, snow flakes were flying, and the earth was white.

On this day, even lighting a stove in a densely built house is too cold, and the abandoned house must be even colder, will this punishment be too much?

In order to keep He Guang and He Qihuang shut up, the move he played really made him a little embarrassed and unwilling.

Liu Qiaoruo didn't even frown and nodded and said Okay, the only condition is to take her daughter with her, now she looks really like a loving mother, she will put her daughter first in everything, she did that, she was afraid that her daughter would stay in Huo Mansion and be bullied.

In fact, her willingness to take her daughter also made him breathe a sigh of relief, after all, let her daughter stay alone in the Huo Mansion, and he was also worried that He Qihuang would use some obscene means to bully his daughter.

For the sake of his daughter's injury, Liu Qiaoruo reasoned with him, and felt that he was an incompetent father, he couldn't deny it, he actually believed the words of He Qihuang and those subordinates, and when he saw his daughter's injury with his own eyes, he once again felt that he was really a husband and father.

It's not that he didn't think about driving He Qihuang out of the Huo Mansion directly, but he promised the emperor that he would be the first and not be dishonest, if it weren't for the sake of the world, he really wanted to strangle the emperor who let He Qihuang marry into the Huo Mansion!

He walked and waited, and outside the house, the gong had just knocked twice, and there was a soft knock on the door of the study.

Come in."

The door opened, and a cold Shi Ding walked in, with snow still on his shoulders.

"All done?"

That's it." Shi Ding doesn't like to talk, but when the master asks, he still has to answer questions.

Tonight he went to carry out the task assigned by the young master, and the young master let him enter the abandoned mansion unconsciously, fill all the firewood in the firewood room, and let him hunt some prey and send it to the door of the abandoned mansion, so that the young lady and the others would not be without food.

Shi Ding was very busy this night, and a bit overkill, he was only responsible for maintaining the safety of the Huo Mansion, and acting as the young master's invisible eye, reporting everything he saw to the young master immediately, but tonight he turned into a woodcutter and a hunter.
