Chapter 43: The First Clues
Liu Xi choked up and finished speaking, then bowed to Huo Yanshen and walked towards the door of Huo's house without saying a word.
"Miss Liu Xi, wait a minute!" When Huo Yanshen was talking to Liu Xi, he hadn't reacted to what was going on, but when Liu Xi was about to leave, Huo Yanshen quickly grabbed Liu Xi's arm and pulled Liu Xi back to his side.
Liu Xi's face suddenly turned red, and his head was buried lower, Huo Yanshen realized that this was a little inappropriate, and quickly let go of Liu Xi, but there was concern in his eyes: "Miss Liu Xi, this is so good, why do you have to leave in such a hurry?" Is something going on? ”
Liu Xi heard Huo Yanshen ask, as if Huo Yanshen's words poked Liu Xi's sore spot, Liu Xi couldn't help but reddened his eyes, and didn't speak, just lowered his head, raised his sleeves and kept wiping his tears.
Huo Yanshen looked at Liu Xi, who was constantly pumping, and was really a little anxious, but he felt that he was a big old man, and it was really not good to urge people, so he could only scratch his ears and cheeks and wait, waiting for Liu Xi to finish crying and talk about things with himself.
Huo Mu had been waiting in her room for Huo Yanshen to come back to greet her, and after hearing some movement outside, Huo Mu walked out slowly, wanting to see what was going on in the yard.
Who knew that Huo Mu saw Huo Yanshen and Liu Xi muttering and pulling in the yard, not knowing what they were doing, she didn't think about it, so she directly stopped the two: "Yanshen, Miss Liu Xi, what are you two doing?" ”
Huo Yanshen heard that it was Huo's mother's voice, and hurriedly turned his head and spoke: "Mother, mother, why did you come out?" ”
Huo Mu walked slowly towards the two of them, and when she saw the tears on Liu Xi's face, Huo Mu was taken aback: "Oh, Miss Liu Xi, what's wrong with you?" Why did you cry so well? ”
Liu Xi saw Huo's mother's concerned look, and her heart warmed, thinking that she remembered her mother when she was at home before, and her tears suddenly fell like beads with broken threads.
Seeing Liu Xi crying so sadly, Huo Mu and Huo Yanshen both became anxious, if others knew about it, it would be too bad for a young and beautiful girl to cry and cry in her yard so late.
"Good boy, let's go back to the house first and talk about it, okay?" Huo Mu paused, took Liu Xi's hand, and walked towards his room.
Huo Yanshen behind him paused, turned his head to look at his room, and had no choice but to follow.
When she arrived at Huo's mother's room, taking advantage of the candlelight, Huo's mother found that Liu Xi's two eyes were already red and swollen from crying, thinking that she had been crying for a while, Huo's mother frowned, what a sad thing this must be, it can make a person cry for so long.
"Good boy, tell me, what the hell is going on?" Huo Mu had been holding Liu Xi's hand tightly, patting it gently, and asked patiently.
Liu Xi is her son's life-saving benefactor, and Huo's mother feels that she will never be able to repay this kindness.
"Old Mrs. Duolaohuo cares, in fact, it is not a big matter, but at noon today, Liu Xi suddenly figured out something after her sister's order, and she felt very guilty, so she ......"
After Liu Xi finished speaking, his eyes were slightly red again, and he lowered his head to wipe his tears again.
"Yan'er? What did Yan'er say about you? Huo's mother was stunned, she knew that Yang Chunyan had always been gentle and filial, and her temper was excellent, what did she say, she actually made Liu Xi cry.
Liu Xi sobbed while intermittently adding fuel and vinegar to the words that Yang Chunyan said when she was in the stove room at noon today, she was sometimes sad, sometimes guilty, and sometimes choked with sadness and couldn't say anything.
After Huo Yanshen heard this, he immediately spoke: "Miss Liuxi, my lady said this for your sake, don't think about it too much." ”
Huo Yanshen raised his hand and scratched his head as he spoke, he believed that Yang Chunyan had no malicious intent in saying these words, but he had to say that Yang Chunyan's words were a little too direct.
"What Brother Huo said is that after I returned to the house, I was ashamed when I remembered what my sister said, I was a bitter girl from the countryside, I had no knowledge since I was a child, and now I came to the city, I feel that everything is so fresh, so I went out two or three times on weekdays when I was fine. Since it's daytime, how can you not touch others? ”
When Liu Xi said this, he raised his handkerchief to cover his mouth, his brows furrowed, and he became more and more pitiful: "When I came back again, I happened to meet the aunt next door who came out to buy rice wine, and I felt that if I came in like this when I didn't see anything, it was really a little inappropriate, so I greeted her, who knew that the aunt looked at me and was a warm-hearted person, so she simply asked me a few more words." ”
Liu Xi raised his head and looked at Huo Yanshen with a sincere gaze: "At that time, I thought that the matter of your assassination that night, Brother Huo, was too dangerous, and besides, you suppressed the matter later, Xu didn't want too many people to know." I can't tell my identity and origin, but I just tell the aunt and ...... said that I am Brother Huo's distant cousin, although I am not directly related, but I am also close to each other...... Sister should blame me for casually climbing Brother Huo, maybe it will cause you some trouble in the future, that's why I ......"
Liu Xi's words were already very clear at this point, and she only left half a sentence, just lowered her head and looked at Huo Yanshen and Huo Mu uneasily.
At this time, Huo Mu suddenly snorted coldly, and her tone was unprecedented majesty: "I thought it was a big deal, didn't it just casually pull a name?" Good boy, you have handled this matter very well, and you have a heart. ”
Since she knew that day that Huo Yanshen was assassinated and then rescued by Liu Xi, although Huo Mu was frightened, she still experienced some things, and soon calmed down, but she valued Liu Xi more in her heart.
Huo Yanshen originally wanted to open his mouth to defend Yang Chunyan for a few words, but after hearing Huo's mother say this, Huo Yanshen had to shut up for the time being.
Looking at Huo Yanshen, who was bowing her head and not saying a word, Huo Mu paused, feeling that there were some things that she still had to say, she looked at Huo Yanshen and spoke: "Daughter-in-law, what Yan'er said at noon today is a bit excessive, you remember to talk about her well." ”
"Mother, mother, this is also for everyone's good." Huo Yanshen frowned, Huo's mother has always been very satisfied with Yang Chunyan, although Huo Yanshen did not show it on the surface, but in his heart he has always been very happy, compared to those who are restless because of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the Huo family doesn't know where it has gone.
Seeing that Huo Yanshen began to protect his wife so quickly, the resentment in Huo's mother's heart became stronger, and her tone was a little stiff, she called Huo Xiting to another room to call Yang Chunyan over.
Yang Chunyan, who was settling accounts in the room, heard Huo Mu suddenly call her over, and her first reaction was to think that there was something wrong with Huo Mu's body, so she hurriedly grabbed Huo Xiting and asked.
Huo Xiting's expression was complicated, she swallowed and vomited for a long time, and she didn't say a word.
Seeing Huo Xiting's appearance, Yang Chunyan thought that something must have happened, so she hurriedly got up and cleaned up: "What happened, Xiaoxi, you should say it quickly." ”
"Oh, sister-in-law! You better hurry up, that Liuxi girl cried so badly that even her mother was a little angry. ”
Yang Chunyan, who was cleaning up the account books, shook her hands after hearing Huo Xiting's words, and secretly screamed that it was not good.
It must have been the words at noon, so Liu Xi couldn't stop crying.
Since it wasn't something wrong with Huo's mother's body, Yang Chunyan's movements were not so flustered, and after she packed up her things, she followed Huo Xiting and came to Huo's mother's house.
After Huo Mu saw Yang Chunyan coming, she didn't say anything, but just glanced at Huo Xiting, Huo Xiting hurriedly moved a chair for Yang Chunyan and asked Yang Chunyan to sit down.
Looking at Liu Xi, who was crying pear blossoms with rain, Yang Chunyan frowned, but when she thought that this incident was caused by her own words, she got up and sincerely apologized to Liu Xi:
"Miss Liu Xi, it must be that what I said at noon made you sad, I'll accompany you here, don't go to the bottom of your heart."
"Sister, what are you doing? It's really tormenting me, I, where do I still have the face to accept my sister's apology......" Liu Xi saw Yang Chunyan sincerely apologize to herself, like a frightened bird, she quickly got up, her body trembled slightly, and her tone was full of fear.
Yang Chunyan was stunned, could it be that she was thinking too much? Why did Liu Xi react this way, but it made people feel like Yang Chunyan had treated her badly before.
Looking at Yang Chunyan, who was motionless, Huo Mu finally spoke, with a trace of displeasure in her eyes: "Miss Liuxi, Yan'er is right, she, she should indeed accompany you." ”
Yang Chunyan was stunned and looked at Huo Mu in confusion.
"I said daughter-in-law, there are some things I know that you are thinking about our family, but it also depends on the specific situation, not to mention that Miss Liu Xi is the benefactor of our family, even if you put aside this relationship, your words today are really a bit excessive."
Yang Chunyan was dumbfounded, she asked herself, since she came to the Huo family, she has been kind to Huo's mother, not only that, but Yang Chunyan also respects Huo's mother in her heart, she is not the kind of person who can't listen to the lessons of her elders, but the sentence just now really surprised Yang Chunyan.
"Mother, mother...... The daughter-in-law didn't mean that. Yang Chunyan muttered, she didn't expect things to develop like this.
"You still say no, Miss Liu Xi is also a complete person with arms and legs after all, but you don't let her go out, let alone talk to people, and our Huo family is inviting someone to live in to repay the favor? Or are people coming to jail? ”
"No, no, mother, my daughter-in-law really doesn't mean this!"
