Chapter Twenty-Three: The Storm
Fu Jiu has not been out of the hospital since he said he was sick the day before yesterday, but the old lady and Mrs. Huo sent someone over to ask a few words.
This morning, someone came to ask Fu Jiu, saying that the old lady was going to the pear orchard to watch a play in the evening.
Fu Jiu still said that he had not recovered from his illness, and he was afraid that he would give everyone a bad illness, so he would not go.
After lunch, the old lady came in person, and Fu Jiu knew that he couldn't deceive the old lady, so he didn't pretend to be sick.
The old lady thought that Fu Jiu was because Luo Wenchao was dead, and she was too sad and didn't want to see anyone.
"Girl, don't be sad, go out with grandma tonight." The old lady looked at her with concern, and her slightly rough hand held Fu Jiu's hands.
Fu Jiu didn't want to, because she was afraid of seeing that person, and she didn't want to see that person.
But looking at the old lady's caring appearance, I couldn't bear to brush the old lady's face.
"Grandma, you're sorry." Fu Jiu said softly, smiling slightly.
The old lady stroked her head, with a kind expression on her face, "Wine girl, grandma will definitely find a good family for you, don't worry." ”
When Fu Jiu heard this, she felt that something was wrong, and she was afraid that her grandmother had misunderstood something, and she couldn't defend herself.
Because I was going out to watch a play in the evening, dinner began at dusk today, and Fu Jiu came out to dine with everyone for the first time since that time.
Huo Chuyu hurriedly pulled her over after seeing Fu Jiu and asked, "Sister Jiu'er, are you much sicker?" Come with us tonight. ”
Fu Jiu nodded and did not speak.
Mrs. Huo looked over and said with concern: "Jiu'er, how is your body?" ”
"It's much better, thank you Aunt Lan for the food." Fu Jiu smiled slightly at Mrs. Huo, very gentle.
That undisguised gaze hung directly on Fu Jiu, she only felt uncomfortable, deliberately ignored that gaze, and never glanced in the direction of Huo Yuqian.
Huo Yuqian's hand under the table was secretly clenched into fists, looking at Fu Jiu's neglect of himself, and the anger in his heart did not come to a place.
Looking at her gentle and virtuous appearance, deceiving everyone to believe it, Huo Yuqian was sarcastic in his heart.
Since that day, he has always had a grievance in his heart, he found someone to check Fu Jiu in the past few years, and he didn't find that she had a past with other men, the only one was Han Luoshu.
He also sent troops to arrest the housekeeper of the Han Mansion when he came out, and interrogated the housekeeper about the incident that night, but the housekeeper only said that nothing happened, and the room where Han Luoshu slept that night was sorted out by the housekeeper's wife herself.
In the end, who is the wild man who is messing with Fu Jiu!
Huo Yuqian's anger was already on his face, but he didn't know that Xina had already discovered that Huo Yuqian was wrong.
She pinched Huo Yuqian's arm and asked softly, "Qian, what's wrong?" ”
Huo Yuqian came back to his senses, glanced at Fu Jiu, and said lightly: "It's okay." ”
Finally, that gaze was withdrawn, and Fu Jiu only felt that the boulder pressing on her body disappeared, and she could finally stand up.
Fortunately, no one found the clue, Fu Jiu only sandwiched the two dishes in front of him, and did not dare to stretch out his arm to clip them, nor did he let the maids around him go to make dishes for him, for fear of causing movement and moving the person's gaze.
Huo Chuchu, who was sitting next to him, looked at Fu Jiu only holding the dish in front of him, and asked, "Sister Jiu'er, why do you only eat this fish, don't you like to eat that pearl ball the most on weekdays?" ”
Huo Chuchu's voice was not big or small, just for the whole audience to hear.
The fifth aunt came out and quipped: "Isn't it, every time the pearl balls are served, the wine hurriedly asks people to go to the cloth, how can I be transgender this time haha......"
Fu Jiu was lifted up with a blank face, but she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
Only then did everyone realize that the pearl ball was placed in front of Huo Yuqian.
Huo Yuqian looked at the crystal clear pearl balls in front of him, was silent, and directly picked up the plate and handed it to the maid next to him.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it, and looked at Fu Jiu with deep meaning.
