Chapter 115: Purpose, time is running out
"Jin'er?" Huo Sijin, who Yang saw first, hurriedly beckoned to her, "Jin'er, come in." β
Yao Qianruo was sitting with her back to the door, and when she heard the sound, she turned her head and saw Huo Sijin standing at the door.
Huo Sijin walked in, and before he could sit down, he saw Yao Qianruo standing up and blessed the Yang family, "Madam, Qianruo will leave first." β
"Miss Yao, you've only been here for a while, why are you in a hurry to leave?" Yang spoke up. As soon as Huo Sijin came, Yao Qianruo got up to say goodbye, which didn't seem very polite.
Yao Qianruo shook her head and smiled: "Qianruo won't bother Mrs. and Huo Shizi to talk, and will come to chat with Mrs. another day." β
If Yao Qianruo insisted on this, the Yang family was not easy to persuade again, and hurriedly ordered the maid to send Yao Qianruo out.
Huo Sijin saw that Yao Qianruo had gone away, so he retracted his gaze, his eyes were slightly deep, "In the past few days, Miss Yao Er has often come to talk to her mother?" β
Yang shook his head, "Not often. Miss Yao also worships the Buddha in the temple, and often meets her in the Buddha hall, but she has not spoken much before. β
Huo Sijin's eyebrows drooped slightly, but it was as simple as taking a picture on weekdays?
"Mother, you're not done, are you?" Yang's mind is easy to understand, and Huo Sijin can be sure that Yang and Yao Qianruo must have other intersections.
"There's nothing you can't tell the child." Huo Sijin poured a cup of tea for the Yang family, handed it to her, and said softly, "Could it be that my mother is deliberately hiding something?" β
When Yang heard this, he hurriedly explained, "Jin'er, how could my mother hide it from you." It's not a big deal, it's just that I accidentally twisted my foot yesterday, and Miss Yao happened to be next to me at that time and helped me, so my mother just exchanged a few words with her today. β
"Jin'er, my mother doesn't want to hide anything from you, it's just a little thing, my mother is afraid that you will be worried if you know." Yang naturally won't hide her child, but she knows that Huo Sijin is filial, and if she knows that she sprained her foot, I'm afraid she will be worried.
The corners of Huo Sijin's lips raised a faint smile, "So that's the case, Miss Yao helped my mother, and I will definitely go and thank her in a while." β
When Yang heard this, he said with a smile: "My mother has already thanked her, but she didn't accept it, saying that it was a gesture." Miss Yao is such a kind girl. β
Is Yao Qianruo kind?
Not necessarily!
Huo Sijin would not say this directly to Yang, she mentioned it euphemistically: "Mother, you and Miss Yao are worshiping Buddha in the temple together, and you meet on weekdays, nodding and saying hello is also a courtesy, but for the sake of Miss Yao, it is better for mother not to have too much contact with her." β
Hearing this, Yang frowned slightly, "Why do you say that?" β
She didn't understand, why Huo Sijin asked her not to associate with Yao Qianruo? Yang has been sick in bed for more than ten years, so there is rarely an outsider to chat with her, and Yao Qianruo is smart and clever, and every word she says holds Yang's heart, so she still likes to greet Yao Qianruo.
However, now Huo Sijin asked her to stay away from Yao Qianruo. This made Yang both confused and a little embarrassed.
Huo Sijin saw Yang's expression in her eyes, and she could guess a little bit about what she was thinking, but she was not flustered, she had already explained Yang's doubts in her heart.
"Mother, don't forget, my son is fifteen years old this year, and the children of the nobles of the Gaomen can start to be engaged at this age. And Miss Yao is the same age as the child, and it is the time to discuss marriage, if the mother has too much contact with her, wouldn't it be easy for people to discuss? β
This reason was enough to convince Yang.
Yang's face changed slightly, and after being silent for a moment, he nodded again and again, "Is this the truth, or Jin'er, you are thoughtful, and your mother is negligent." β
It is impossible for Huo Sijin to marry, it is dangerous enough for her to pretend to be a man, and if she has another fiancΓ©e, then things will be even worse. Whether it is for Yao Qianruo's reputation, or for selfishness, taking into account Huo Sijin's safety, she should not be too close to Yao Qianruo.
"It's my mother who is confused, and I almost hurt you." Yang blamed herself, her beautiful eyes full of guilt.
She had already hurt her own child very hard, and almost caused trouble for Huo Sijin again.
Yang thought in his heart, not only Yao Qianruo, but all unmarried girls of the right age, she should stay away.
Huo Sijin said a few more words to Yang, and seeing that Yang was a little tired, she walked out of the room, and when she left, she quietly glanced at the streamer. The streamer understood, and also found an excuse and walked away.
In the corridor, Huo Sijin saw the streamer approaching, so he spoke: "Did Yao Qianruo deliberately approach her mother?" β
She was worried that someone would start from the Yang family, so she left Mama Xi and Streamer to take care of the Yang family. Even if the Yang family accidentally twisted his foot, there was an experienced Mama Xi next to him, and there was a streamer who knew medical skills, where was it Yao Qianruo's turn to help.
Streamer shook his head, and Zhengse replied, "I can't be sure if it's intentional or not." At that time, the slave and maid happened to be not around, and the slave and maid also asked Mama Xi afterwards. β
Mama Xi said that Miss Yao was still two steps away from Madame at that time, and she was not close to Madame. Afterwards, the slave maid also carefully examined the sprained ankle of the lady, and judging from the wound, it was indeed a sprain. β
Rubbing his fingers back and forth, Huo Sijin said slowly thoughtfully: "Miss Yao is far away, and my mother is indeed sprained, on the surface, it seems that this is indeed an accidental sprain, and it has nothing to do with Miss Yao." β
It is precisely because you can't see the relationship on the surface, but the more suspicious it is. Although you are suspicious, you can never find evidence, so you can't judge. β
Hearing this, Streamer nodded, "Miss Yao approached Madame, it is very likely that it was done on purpose, the slave maid was worried that she still had a trick, but the slave maid was incompetent and failed to find out, so please punish the son." β
Huo Sijin waved his hand, "It's not that you are incompetent, because this is indeed an accident." β
The streamer's eyebrows frowned invisibly, what does Childe mean by this? I even believe that this was not done by Yao Qianruo on purpose?
"This was an accident, and it does not conflict with whether this accident was intentional or not." Huo Sijin said lightly.
If her guess is correct, Yang's sprained foot is indeed an accident, but if Yao Qian comes to help, this is what she did on purpose.
As for why Yao Qianruo did this, it is worth investigating.
The tip of her right finger lightly touched the back of her hand, Huo Sijin thought, it has been a few days, and she really should meet this Miss Yao Er.
β¦β¦
"Huo Shizi, it's been a long time." Yao Qianruo saw Huo Sijin from afar, but the steps under her feet did not speed up, and she still moved lightly and walked forward slowly.
"Miss Yao seems to have forgotten, it's only been a few days, and it's not a long time." Huo Sijin smiled lightly.
Yao Qianruo shook her head, her smile still on, "For Huo Shizi, it's naturally just a few days. But the son of the world knows how long these days are for Qianruo? β
"Please forgive me." Yao Qianruo apologized on the one hand, and respectfully curtsied Huo Sijin on the other.
"Madame's sprained foot is an accident, and it is also a fact that Qianruo has the heart to approach Madame, and Qianruo will definitely not be able to hide it from the world."
Huo Sijin's eyebrows rose slightly, this Yao Qianruo is smart, and he said everything first.
"So why did Miss Yao do this? What is the purpose of this? Do you know that such behavior is easy to cause disgust? β
Yao Qianruo's face showed embarrassment, she nodded slightly, "If you change to Qianruo, you will also be disgusted by people who deliberately approach your mother." Qianruo didn't want to defend herself, she just asked the prince to be considerate. β
"Qianruo knows that her identity is embarrassing, no matter what, Qianruo's surname Yao is an indelible fact, no matter what I do, it will actually be deliberate. Therefore, Qianruo didn't have too many concerns, since she had decided to take refuge with His Royal Highness the Prince, she would stick to the end. β
As she spoke, Yao Qianruo sighed softly, "Qianruo showed her determination and sincerity, but you didn't believe it. Qianruo didn't have much time to wait, so she had no choice but to think of a way to meet Mrs. Hou again. β
Huo Sijin nodded, with a faint smile, "Your goal has been achieved." β
She did come to see her.
Yao Qianruo smiled, "Yes, the first step was successful. So what's next? Huo Shizi, how can you trust Qianruo? The marriage between the eldest sister and the fifth prince is getting closer and closer, and every day that passes, the tension in Qianruo's heart is a little more, and time is really running out. β
