Huo Yujue looked dazed.

Xiang Wanqing didn't understand, as the young master of the Huo family, how could he not know the inside story? She shook her head in disappointment, and turned back the way she had come.

Huo Yujue was still worried about missing the boarding time, seeing that every minute and second had passed, he couldn't delay any longer, he hurried to catch up with Xiang Wanqing, and asked eagerly: "Miss Xiang, are you sure you won't leave?" Maybe miss tonight and you'll want to go later...... It's not that easy. ”

Xiang Wanqing stood still, the sincerity, anxiety, nervousness, and worry on Huo Yujue's face made her believe that he really didn't know anything.

"Okay, since you don't know, then I'll tell you, Third Young Master, the reason why I married into the Huo family and married your second brother is because my father owes the Huo family a lot of debt, or rather...... Gift.

"So, I came to your house to pay off my debts and love, if I leave, what do you want my father to do? What do you want my younger siblings to do? They will be implicated in my selfish escape, and they will not be able to survive in this joyful town, you know? ”

Xiang Wanqing finished speaking in one breath, and her eyes were already full of mist.

Huo Yujue was shocked, although he saw Wanqing at the door of Huo's house for the first time on the day of the kiss, he also vaguely questioned this marriage, but he still didn't expect that the truth would be like this.

Moreover, such a thing happened in his own home!

"How much? Your father he...... How much debt is owed to the Huo family? Huo Yujue asked, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, like two dragons coiled together.

Xiang Wanqing pursed her lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, this is her signature expression, maybe from now on, no matter what happens, the corners of her lips will be upturned, and she will always smile.

Because the worst has already been experienced by her, and in the future, nothing can make her feel fear and despair anymore, and nothing can make her sad and cry again.

"I don't know how much, but I know that the amount is huge, even if my father sells his house and land, and bankrupts his family, he can't pay it back, so marrying into the Huo family and marrying your second brother is my life, I have accepted my fate, and I don't want to resist in vain."

Xiang Wanqing looked at Huo Yujue with a sincere gaze: "Third Young Master, although everything tonight is just in vain, I still want to thank you, thank you for trying to help me." ”

"No, you don't have to be polite to me, maybe from the beginning...... It's that I'm wrong, and I'm hurting you, so I should do to help you, and it's me to help you...... A chance to atone for your sins, but I still haven't really been able to help you. Huo Yujue lowered his head in shame.

At that moment, another whistle was heard, and the ship started.

Huo Yujue punched the cement pillar beside him, and blood flowed down his fingers, but he didn't care.

He knew that his mother had always been strong, but he didn't know that she would persecute people like this, but as her son, the third young master of the Huo family, he was helpless against his mother, because even he himself ......

He sighed heavily, shook his head helplessly, and the veins on his forehead were full of veins.

"I'm sorry." He apologized again.

This time, it was for his mother and the entire Huo family, but he asked himself in his heart, what is the meaning of this kind of apology.

"No, you don't have to tell me I'm sorry anymore, from now on, we'll be clear." Xiang Wanqing smiled slightly and said.

She couldn't help but recall the scene when her escape plan was "destroyed" outside Xiangjiazhai Village, that time, she wanted to leave very much but was trapped; And this time, she could go, but she couldn't. Dramatically, the people who were with her twice turned out to be ...... Huo Yujue.

He had inadvertently harmed himself, and he had also intentionally helped himself, and exhaled a breath to Wanqing, perhaps at this moment, the previous hatred for Huo Yujue had been slowly released.

Huo Yujue looked at Xiang Wanqing, looking at her pure smile, clear eyes, and baby fat on her cheeks that had not completely faded...... He couldn't help but sigh again: "Miss Xiang, then you really plan to be with my second brother in the future...... You ......"

"Third Young Master, don't call me Miss Xiang in the future, let's call me my second sister-in-law, no matter what, I am your second brother's wife, and Ming Media is marrying, hehe. The Huo family has strict rules, and if the title of 'Miss Xiang' is heard, I'm afraid I can't afford it. ”

Huo Yujue lowered his head in shame again, he hated himself for being incompetent, seeing such an unfair thing happen to him and his family, and he couldn't do anything.

"Good...... Second sister-in-law. He finally called her that a second time.

When Xiang Wanqing and Huo Yujue returned to Huo's house, the eastern sky was already faintly white.

The two of them returned the same way from the back door of the ancestral hall, and Xiang Wanqing knelt back in front of the ancestral tablet of the Huo family, Huo Yujue glanced at her again, her eyes were full of apology and helplessness, but there was also more encouragement and firmness, and she left quietly.

And neither of them expected that not far from the ancestral hall, there were a pair of eyes watching their every move.

And in another hidden corner, there is another pair of eyes watching all of this.

At seven o'clock in the morning, a maid came to pick up Wanqing and go out.

She didn't sleep all day, although she was tired and tired, but it was breakfast time, and she had to follow the maid to the restaurant to eat with everyone.

When she arrived, the other masters were seated, and their servants were on their side.

Huo Yujue gave her an encouraging look again, and she smiled back with a firm smile.

Old Madam Huo looked kind and beckoned Xiang Wanqing to sit down, her sharp eyes showed that she knew everything that happened last night, but she didn't say anything.

Aunt Mei pursed her lips lightly, silent, still looking gentle and quiet, and indisputable.

And Ning Jinxiu's facial expression is very rich, full of anger, unwillingness and jealousy, but also interspersed with smugness and schadenfreude, after all, Xiang Wanqing has just been punished to kneel, although she always thinks that this punishment is too light, but in the end she was still punished.

Xiang Wanqing ignored her, and everyone began to eat.

At this moment, I saw Huo Yujin being brought by a maid, and when he saw the fritters on the table, he cheered happily: "Yes, there are fritters, Yujin likes to eat fritters the most." ”

The fritters were originally breakfast in the north, and there were few in the Jiangnan area at that time, but the Huo family was wealthy, and the kitchen could make it immediately if they gave an order to eat anything.

Huo Yujin loves to eat fritters the most, and when he saw his favorite at this time, Harazi flowed out, and the old lady said angrily: "Why are you late again?" Look at your gluttonous appearance, Dongmei, wipe your mouth for the second young master. ”

The rules of the Huo family are applicable to all other masters, big and small, except for Huo Yujin, after all, his situation is special, so he can be late for dinner or be absent from any public occasions.

The maid wiped Huo Yujin's mouth, and put on a bib for him that only children wear.

"Oh, oh, the second uncle is wearing a bib again, the second uncle is not ashamed......" Tianyou shouted.

Ning Jinxiu hurriedly sandwiched the dishes for Tianyou and urged: "Eat quickly." ”

The old lady glanced at Tianyou, and said helplessly: "Don't talk during dinner, you forgot again?" ”

"How does the second uncle speak?" Tianyou pleaded.

Ning Jinxiu glared at Tianyou and motioned for him not to speak again, but she herself said: "That's it, what Tianyou said is right, Yujin can speak, can't Tianyou speak?" ”

The old lady looked at Ning Jinxiu and shook her head helplessly, and sighed.

Everyone continued to eat quietly, but unexpectedly, after a while, Ning Jinxiu put down her chopsticks, coughed, and said in a weird manner: "How did I hear that last night, there was movement in the ancestral hall?" ”

At the same time, a pair of eyes glanced at Xiang Wanqing with malicious intent.

Xiang Wanqing was shocked, raised her eyes to look at Ning Jinxiu, Huo Yujue also reacted in the same way, and Aunt Mei also looked at Ning Jinxiu, thoughtful.

And only Mrs. Huo still didn't look at anyone, and just ate calmly.

But seeing Ning Jinxiu smiling proudly, wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, she continued to say with a confident and determined look: "Last night, didn't the second young grandmother kneel in the ancestral hall? Isn't it a person? Why are there still movements? This is really strange, is it possible that you still have a companion? ”

Xiang Wanqing was very surprised, Huo Yujue only appeared in the ancestral hall in the middle of the night last night, how could Ning Jinxiu know about it at such a late time?

And how much does she really know about what happened between them? Or is she not aware of anything at all, but is completely chasing after the wind and talking nonsense?

But Xiang Wanqing knew that no matter what, even if she really had her own handle in her hands, she must not admit that she had to defend her own interests. Because after yesterday's turmoil, Ning Jinxiu's hostility towards her could not be more obvious, although she didn't understand where she had offended her.

Xiang Wanqing put down her chopsticks, still with a slight smile on her face, and said slowly: "There is an old Chinese saying, called 'You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense', dare to ask Grandma Da Shao, what evidence do you have to prove what you said?" ”

"You ......" Ning Jinxiu almost had another angry attack, but she immediately restrained herself, only to hear her laugh again, as if this time she was full of confidence and nine out of ten: "Haha, I knew you would ask that, Cui Hong-"

That is, a little maid knelt down in response, she was Ning Jinxiu's personal maid.

"Tell me what you saw and heard last night." Ning Jinxiu commanded.

"The slave obeys," replied Crimson with her head bowed:

"Last night, the slave and maid came out because they were too full for dinner, and their stomachs were a little distended...... After a little relief, his stomach was still uncomfortable, so he walked around the garden to eliminate food, but unexpectedly heard movement inside when passing by the ancestral hall...... The slave was curious, so she stuck to the wall of the ancestral hall and listened to it, but it didn't matter if she heard it, it turned out to be ......"

Cui Hong looked up at Xiang Wanqing, and then lowered her head sharply, as if frightened.
