Chapter 19: One Heart
Meng Yunhan's face was not good-looking, and he looked at Huo Yubai's eyes, and he did not hide his disgust.
At first, I disliked Huo Yubai because she was once related to her eldest brother-in-law.
Now I hate this woman from the bottom of my heart, obviously notorious, but there is a sense of confidence and arrogance in my bones, I really don't know where the courage comes from?
Humble and unaware!
"In these years, murderers can travel freely, and sure enough, it's good to have the General's Mansion as a backer."
Huo Yubai smiled lightly, "What does Miss Meng San mean is that King Jing is unjust?" β
Meng Yunhan frowned, "What does this have to do with King Jing?" β
"Miss Meng San probably doesn't know yet, the Xu family's case has been taken over by King Jing, and King Jing's Criminal Department and Jingzhao Mansion will jointly investigate, and the truth should be revealed soon." Huo Yubai said softly.
Meng Yunhan's face sank, she had just heard that the emperor had ordered King Jing to investigate the cause of Nie Rujin's death, but she didn't expect that even the Xu family's case would be investigated.
"Miss Meng San, our Huo Mansion's girl Xia Zhi has committed perjury and has been taken into custody, and under severe punishment, I don't know if she will confess to the mastermind behind the scenes."
Huo Yu looked at Meng Yunhan with a white smile, obviously feeling that Meng Yunhan's expression froze, although he quickly returned to his naturalness, he still reacted.
In other words, Xia Zhi is very likely to be related to the Meng family.
"Miss Huo Er is really lucky!" Meng Yunhan said coldly, with a calm face, and led the maid away.
Huo Yu hooked his lips and stepped into Mo Yuxuan.
Hu Qiu greeted him and said with a smile, "Second Miss." β
Huo Yubai snorted, his eyes swept casually, there were more guests in the shop today than yesterday.
"I'm just passing by, come in and have a look, shopkeeper Hu doesn't have to pay attention to me."
Hu Qiu smiled and pointed in the direction of the back hall, "Second Miss, I have something to tell you." β
Huo Yubai nodded, and entered the back hall with Hu Qiu, and a light-tight curtain cut off the noise in the shop.
"Second Miss, are you estranged from Miss Meng San?" Hu Qiu asked.
Huo Yubai raised his eyebrows, "You are a big man, what do you do about the private affairs between your daughter's family?" β
"No......" Hu Qiu was embarrassed, "It's the pair of rings you designed, I made the decision to let people draw color pictures and show them to several distinguished guests, Miss Meng San likes it, and wants to book in advance, but the price has not been negotiated yet."
If you have a gap with Miss Meng San, there is no need to negotiate with her. β
A smile flashed in Huo Yu's white eyes, "Meng Yunhan doesn't know that this is the Huo family's shop?" β
"This Mo Yuxuan is the private property of the second lady, even if the lady comes to buy jade ornaments, it is also given money, but the cost price is calculated, so few people know that Mo Yuxuan is the property of the Huo family."
Huo Yubai is in a complicated mood, the eldest aunt is a bright-hearted person, in fact, there is no need to be so clear about the family.
"Shopkeeper Hu, how much do you want to pay for this pair of rings?"
"Eight thousand taels."
"Then how much does Meng Yunhan give?"
"Three thousand taels."
"Huh!" Huo Yubai sneered, "This is too much, the price will increase tomorrow, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine taels, a lot of points!" β
"Huh? Wouldn't that be too expensive? β
Huo Yubai smiled lightly, "On the Qixi Festival, the meaning contained in the ring is the most eye-catching."
What we are selling is not the actual value of the precepts, but the value of the implication of the precepts.
A unique pair of rings, implying that this is the only one.
Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, meaning a long time.
Our slogan, this is the only one, for a long time.
You can also process it for the guests for free, and engrave the name of the lover on the ring.
Even if the style of the pair of rings is imitated, the pair bought by the guest is unique.
Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, is it expensive?
In the imperial capital, where there are many rich people, it is not expensive at all! β
Hu Qiu was very excited, "Second Miss is very suitable for business. β
Huo Yubai smiled lightly, "I'm just passing by, let's take a look, if Meng Yunhan can afford the price, it doesn't hurt to sell it to her." β
ββ¦β¦β
Hu Qiu is a businessman and knows how to be flexible very much, after Huo Yubai left, the prices of the couple's jade ornaments in the shop were all changed, and the mantissa became ninety-nine.
β¦β¦
Si Jingmo took Huo Yuqi back to King Jing's mansion, and the sentence "the son of this king" shocked all the subordinates.
The maids and servants rushed to tell each other, and the eyeliner placed in the palace in the palace also spread the news as soon as possible.
Si Chuheng is not a talkative person, so when he returned to the queen, he didn't say a word about Huo Yuqi.
Si Jingmo naturally didn't take the initiative to say.
So when the queen got the news, it was obvious how shocked she was.
Inside the palace.
The kitchen prepared food, Huo Yuqi and Ke Xingyi were hungry, and they ate without an image.
Si Jingmo looked at Huo Yuqi and unconsciously wanted to laugh, "Qiqi, slow down, don't choke." β
"Daddy, your family's food...... No, it's our family's food that's delicious. Huo Yuqi said vaguely.
Si Jingmo smiled, "If it's delicious, eat more, but eat slowly, when you're full, I'll ask someone to make you two clothes." β
"New clothes to wear?" Huo Yuqi's dark eyes were bright, "Daddy is so good!" I love Daddy! I still love the older sister I met today! Pretty and gentle! β
Ke Xingyi lowered his head and smiled, beautiful is true, gentle words...... Won't Qiqi's conscience hurt?
Si Jingmo thought of Huo Yubai, his expression was slightly stunned, that face made him feel a sense of familiarity, she was very similar to someone he had met a few years ago......
It's just that the man died.
He was full of anger at the time, and he didn't see her appearance clearly, but just let people dig a pit and bury her at will.
"Daddy, do you think that Sister Yu is beautiful?" Huo Yuqi asked with a smile, nervous.
Si Jingmo came back to his senses and looked at him with warm eyes, "It's beautiful." β
"Daddy, do you like her?"
Si Jingmo was stunned, thinking of the child's innocence, the liking in his mouth should be a simple good feeling, "It's okay, don't hate it." β
Huo Yuqi grinned, "Then do you want to marry her?" β
Si Jingmo: ......
Five-year-olds, do you know what it means to marry?
After thinking about it, he said, "Daddy has no plans to marry a wife. β
"Oh." Huo Yuqi was disappointed, "That Sister Yu is really good, I like her very much, and I want her to be my mother." β
Si Jingmo was speechless, not knowing what to say.
"Daddy, why don't you want to get married?"
Si Jingmo pursed his lips, his eyes were dark, his body was a little tense, and a cold and beautiful face flashed in his mind.
His father once said that he would marry her to him, but he acquiesced, but she ...... Refused.
She doesn't want to marry, and his pride won't force it.
She became his nephew's fiancΓ©e, and died before the wedding.
If she had been forcibly engaged, wouldn't she have died?
Maybe not, even if it's murder, no matter who you are engaged to, you probably can't get away with it.
The only thing he can do now is to find out the cause of her death and give her justice.
"Lord, someone has come to the palace, and the queen mother announced that you have entered the palace." The guards reported.
