Chapter 155: Buying Murder
Yue'er looked back and saw Huo Hanyan's face trembling at this time. Huo Hanyan pushed the piano out of his hand, turned around and hurried downstairs. The piano fell to the ground, and the muffled sound of the strings and the muffled sound of the body of the piano made Yue'er tremble again.
This piano is precious, and Huo Hanyan has always cherished it. What should I do if I fall to the ground like this? Now Huo Hanyan is angry, if he thinks about this again after a while, maybe he will be angry with those of them who are waiting in front of him.
didn't have time to think about it, and didn't have time to check it carefully, Yue'er hurriedly put the piano back in. When she got out of the attic, Huo Hanyan had already rushed to the pavilion, snatched the chess box from Haitang's hand, and looked down to see that there were only three or four chess pieces in it. When they ran back to the pavilion, they found that the other chess box on the chessboard was already empty......
From a distance, Huo Hanyan clutched the chess box in his hand tightly, and scolded sharply, "Slut! You ......"
Begonia raised her eyebrows, "Huh? Who is the slut called? ”
Knowing that this was a pit, Huo Hanyan didn't jump in, but his face was black to the end, and the whole person trembled with anger. "Do you know how many pairs of jade chess there are in the world? Do you know how much this set of pieces costs? How dare you ......"
"According to you, do you have to thank my men for their mercy and leaving you a chessboard?"
Haitang said that the clouds were light and light, so she didn't care about the anger in her words. Huo Hanyan has the heart to kill, waiting for her eyes to be red with anger, and her slender jade fingers are even more pointed at the lake, "You go and pick it up for me, not a single chess piece is missing." ”
"Nope." Haitang shook his head, "I still have to practice calligraphy." ”
Huo Hanyan only felt that the fire in her heart burned to the top of her head, she rushed to the desk that had been placed, smashed the ink inkstone on that side, threw the wolf howl that was almost destroyed by the begonia, and even picked up those who had not been written and threw them directly into the brazier.
Yue'er was frightened when she looked at it in the back, and she wanted to persuade but didn't dare to persuade Huo Hanyan.
The corners of Begonia's lips seemed to be smiling, and her voice was full of pity. "Then I'll have to practice later."
Violin!
Huo Hanyan remembered the qin that he had just thrown out by himself, and he was suddenly furious. "It's all because of you! You threw my jade chess, caused me to drop my piano, and ruined my wolf howl and ink inkstone! If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll fight with you! ”
As soon as the end fell, Huo Hanyan ran out of the pavilion, and with his two hands in a posture of strangling someone, he rushed towards Haitang. The two maids outside all exclaimed, and Yue'er also had to run over and pull it, that is, Begonia, not in a hurry, just standing there. Seeing that Huo Hanyan's hand was about to touch her, who knew that she suddenly made a move, twisted Huo Hanyan's wrist, and then kicked Huo Hanyan's lower plate.
Before everyone could figure out what was going on, they heard a pop, and Huo Hanyan fell into the icy lake.
"Miss!"
Yue'er was so frightened that her little face turned white, and the two maids outside the pavilion were even weaker. The three girls were in a hurry around the water's edge, panicking and not knowing that they were going to call someone to save their lives.
Huo Hanyan fluttered in the lake, and the biting chill made her only fearful.
Begonia watched coldly on the shore, and had no intention of saving people at all. Yue'er was anxious, and she didn't care about her status, "You dare to push my young lady into the water?" If my young lady has three long and two short, Xiangye will definitely not spare you, and the Meng family will definitely not give up! ”
"Huh? Do you still think she is the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Yue'er, haven't you forgotten that I am Huo Starling's biological daughter, your young lady, but Meng Qingyue's ......"
"Huo Xihua!" Huo Hanyan suddenly screamed and fluttered twice, "Yue'er save me!" Save me! ”
Only then did Yue'er remember to ask the two maids to call someone, and she was so anxious that she shed tears next to her. Haitang looked at the people in the water and sneered: "Huo Hanyan, I know that this water is not enough to reach your thighs, don't you know that you have lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion for more than ten years?" Squatting and splashing in the water like this, tired of my sister, right? ”
Hearing this, the two maids who had already run out a few steps also stopped, and Yue'er also stopped crying, and looked at Huo Hanyan in the water together. Or that kind of face instantly turned from miserable white to red, Yue'er reached out to pull her ashore, but was thrown away by Huo Hanyan with a slap. The shore was slippery, Huo Hanyan's luxurious clothes were even heavier when the water was on fire, she tried several times and slipped down, and a few tosses made her waist-high places cold to numb, and even lost consciousness.
Huo Hanyan burst into tears, Yue'er pulled her ashore, and called two maids to help send Huo Hanyan to her back, and ran back with Huo Hanyan on her thin body.
The two maids subconsciously took two steps back, lowered their eyebrows, and didn't dare to look up at her even if they said they liked Begonia before.
"You two." Haitang walked up to the two of them, "If Huo Hanyan makes trouble with Xiangye in a while, what should you say?" ”
"The second lady fell into it herself."
"It was the second lady who provoked the eldest lady and fell into the water."
It's smart.
Haitang went back on the front foot, and Yixiu came over and said, "Miss, are you bullying people again?" The second lady just called someone to go to Xiangye to complain. ”
"Hmm." Haitang was not surprised at all, "What did Daddy say?" ”
Ye-so laughed. "Xiangye said that the second lady should not be so squeamish, if you can't teach it, then don't teach it as soon as possible."
Begonia was a little surprised at this time. "That's what he said?"
"These are Xiangye's exact words." Yixiu felt very relieved that her words had really worked. Xiang Ye went to ask, and I heard that it was the second lady who provoked her to fall into the water first, and asked someone to reprimand her. From beginning to end, Xiangye never came forward in this matter. ”
Haitang was a little distracted, and after a while, he said, "I know." ”
Yixiu knew that she had something on her mind, so she retreated. The talent just walked out and was called back by Begonia. "Aunt Yixiu, let's go to Master Chen's to take a look, how to put on clothes, we should also make a good one."
Yixiu patted her head, "Look at the slave, I forgot about it." ”
The master and servant went out, Yixiu originally wanted to arrange a carriage, but Haitang said that she wanted to go shopping. After a while, the two wandered to Chen Mei's shop.
"Master Chen, have the two clothes set by my young lady ready?"
Yixiu shouted as soon as he stepped in, Chen Shaoning came out of the room, holding the account book in his hand, and nodded slightly when he saw Haitang. "I've been a little busy lately, and I've only finished one of my clothes, so Miss Huo will take a look at it first."
"Begonia is here?" Chen Mei ran out of the inner room, and when she saw Begonia, she happily pulled her. "The clothes are inside, will you come in with me to have a look?"
Haitang took her hand back and smiled stupidly, "No need, can there be any clothes made by Master Chen that you are not satisfied with?" You can just give the clothes to Aunt Yixiu, and I'll take this one first. She walked up to Aunt Yixiu, "I'll go shopping by myself, I'll go back by myself in a while, Aunt Yixiu, you can help me choose two more horses, if it looks suitable, you can also choose two for yourself." ”
Yixiu didn't like anyone to mention Begonia's previous identity, and she didn't want Begonia to be involved with the past, so she naturally thought that Begonia was trying to avoid Chen Mei, so she responded. I saw her pulling Chen Mei and pointing to the dark blue material in her hand, "This is good, the color is good, the thickness is also suitable, make a spring gown, take one of this too, my young lady will go back and make one by herself." ”
Chen Mei's eyes lit up, "This is really good, I'll wrap it up for you." ”
Seeing that Chen Mei was busy and went in again, Haitang got the opportunity to sneak out, went to the house given to her by Yin Ze, changed into men's clothes, and rushed to the gambling house. The gambling house in the day was even more lively, and after Begonia entered, someone took her directly to the room. The fifth master is sitting there.
"Asking for money?"
Begonia nodded, "Exactly." The last time you came, your people said you went out to have fun, and I waited a while before I left. I didn't expect that the fifth master would be here today, and he didn't let me run in vain. ”
The fifth master didn't say much, took out a box, opened it and pushed it to Haitang. Haitang glanced at it, twisted his eyebrows and asked, "That's it?" ”
"Except for your share of mine, there is only so much silver."
Haitang took out the ticket and counted it, but it was only a few thousand taels. "That's interest, isn't it?"
The fifth master sneered: "Do you suspect that I have eaten your silver?" ”
"That's not the case." Begonia put the lid down and suddenly remembered something. "Is it difficult to get the Meng family's silver?"
The fifth master laughed loudly and talked about asking someone to get the silver.
The Meng family not only suffered a heavy blow to the business in the capital, but also the shops in other places inexplicably shook out a lot of problems. One is a debt collector, the other is a deficit, and the other is an offended person, and more silver is needed to settle it, so when the fifth master's person came to the door with an IOU and asked the reason, Meng Qingyue was directly stunned. The fifth master's people ran several times in a row, and finally forced Meng Qingyue to promise to give 10,000 taels of silver first, and then give the rest slowly. So after deducting the share promised to the fifth master, the money in this box is only a few thousand taels.
"Although the favor is said, the interest still has to be paid. It is written clearly in black and white, and I am not afraid of her denial. "After that, the fifth master opened the box again and took away four or five tickets in front of Begonia." The thing you asked me to inquire about the Prime Minister's wife seems to be a bit eyebrow-raising. ”
Begonia's heart was suffocated, "What eyebrows?" ”
"Meng Qingyue once had a crush on your father Huo Guoxiang, but I didn't expect Huo Xing to marry your mother and her sister in the end." The fifth master is like a storyteller in a teahouse, and he is almost a waking wood at hand to slap the table. "A month before the accident of the Prime Minister's wife, Meng Qingyue spent a lot of money. The Prime Minister's wife did not meet a thief, but she bought a murderer. ”
