Chapter 9: Pretending to be pitiful
Although the old man Huo is a military general, but the most important thing is the etiquette of the Gangchang Sect and the etiquette of self-denial, although he does not like Huo Jiuge's granddaughter, but he must also maintain her dignity as a concubine in front of people.
"You explain this matter to me clearly, it is impossible for my Huo family to tolerate people with unscrupulous hearts to make waves!" Old Man Huo said to Huo Qingshang with a serious face.
This is the first time in so many years that the old man has been so strict with her, and all of this is due to Huo Jiuge, and unconsciously, she has offended the entire second room.
Huo Qingshang played her pitiful advantage, she said that she only met the third prince by chance at the Lantern Festival, and there were many guests at that time, and everyone could testify to her, she did not do anything out of the ordinary.
As for the purse that Huo Jiuge said, it was not given to the third prince by himself, but in the middle of the banquet, I don't know why it suddenly caused a commotion, and the purse may have been dropped at that time, and then picked up.
After hearing this, Old Man Huo fell into a deep thought, and at this time, a childish voice sounded: "Obviously the third prince, I don't like you, and I deliberately found this excuse to divorce you." The eldest sister is prettier than you, even if it was me, I would choose her, not you!"
The person who said this was Huo Changbai, the youngest son of the Huo family's second room, he was only seven years old, and under the influence of his parents, he had no respect for Huo Jiuge's cousin.
As soon as his words fell, the Qin clan immediately scolded him: "Who taught you!" How dare you be so unruly to your cousin, if it spreads, others will blame me, a mother, for not disciplining her child well, letting him spit casually, and ruining the reputation of the Rongguo Mansion!"
She was disciplining her children both inside and outside of her words, but when she was careful to distinguish it, she was mocking Huo Jiuge's parents for their deaths, and no one taught her the rules.
Hearing this, the corners of Huo Jiuge's mouth showed a disdainful expression, and she said: "Aunt's sentence is wrong, Changbai has no rules, others will only say that the people of the imperial historian family will not be educated, what does it matter to my Rongguo Mansion." ”
As soon as these words came out, Qin's face turned white with a "hmm-"
She still wanted to open her mouth to refute something, but Huo Jiuge snatched her words, "If according to what Changbai said, everyone pursues appearance and appearance, and no one cares about inner talent, then isn't this world chaotic?" Where do you say such things, set aside rules and laws, and teach them with regular etiquette? ”
Huo Jiuge looked at Huo Changbai coldly, his cold eyes were like a sharp blade on him, so frightened that he didn't dare to say another word.
Although Huo Qingwu on the side didn't understand why Huo Jiuge had changed so much, seeing that the second room of the Huo family was bullied by her like this, she was also ready to join this battle of words, but she saw that her mother was signaling her with her eyes and asking her not to talk nonsense, so she stood in place in a regular manner and never spoke again.
At this time, Huo Ren stood up and said: "Father, Qingshang was grown up by you, and you also know her character, how could she have done anything out of bounds?" There may be some misunderstanding here, Jiu Ge just came back from the palace and experienced the blow of divorce, let's let her rest first. ”
is worthy of being a person who has been up and down in officialdom for many years, his words not only preserved Huo Qingshang's reputation, but also appeased Huo Jiuge, which can be described as a win-win situation.
Seeing that the old man was seriously thinking about his proposal and was about to turn the page on this matter, Huo Jiuge opened his mouth and said: "Cousin Qingshang grew up under the watchful eye of her grandfather, so you believe that she will not do anything to damage the face of the Huo family, and I was raised in my grandfather's house in Jinling since I was a child, so do you think all this is my fault?" ”
Who wouldn't pretend to be pitiful, this body obviously has a greater advantage than the pampered Huo Qingshang.
The original owner is only less than fifteen years old, and there are no other children of the Huo family who are tall and tall, with round faces, coupled with their cowardly personality on weekdays, they look a few years younger than their actual age, and now they speak with a crying voice, and their appearance is inevitably distressing.
The elders present suddenly noticed a trace of embarrassment, especially Old Man Huo, who was even a little afraid to look at Huo Jiuge's eyes thrown at him.
A huge room, unexpectedly quiet, terrifyingly quiet.
The Qin clan only reacted at this time, Huo Jiuge in front of him was no longer the well-behaved and obedient silly girl before, the girl's little face still carried the immaturity and youthfulness of a child, and a pair of black eyes were as watery as grapes.
Huo Jiuge's eyes are very good-looking, with big apricot eyes, ignorant, like a deer in the mountains, but his expression is wooden on weekdays, and he has failed the aura of his eyes.
Now the deer eyes are still round, but the eyes are very different, revealing some firmness.
The Qin family was a spirit, I don't know why, she dared to give birth to an indescribable tremor in her heart, she was afraid that in time, the girl in front of her would compare to her daughter.
As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't help but be afraid, and after reacting, she quickly took her little hand, looked at her with an expression full of pity, and then talked to her, "Where do we blame you, it's just that we feel sorry for you, I thought that your marriage date with the third prince would ensure your glory for a lifetime, but who knew that you were destined after all." ”
"Since the death of my eldest brother and sister-in-law, we have treated you as our own child, and let you go to Jinling because you are the only child in your grandfather's house.
Qin Shi was very moved when she said it, and even squeezed out tears, making everyone believe that she really cherished Huo Jiuge's niece.
She blamed all the faults on the original owner's maternal grandfather's family, believing that they had taught her to say this, in order to drive a wedge between the two families.
But the fact is that the elders of the original owner's maternal grandfather's family love her very much, but the original owner's own weak personality and the fact that the family has suffered such a disaster make her even more closed.
I like to stay in my yard all day long, studying some medical skills and other things.
Of course, Huo Jiu Ge would not tolerate the Qin family splashing dirty water on the original owner's grandfather's house, she pulled away the hands held by the Qin family without moving, "My grandfather's family treats me very well, when I came back, my aunt also specially told me to change my temperament and be closer to my sisters and sisters in the house, but when Jiu Ge saw the Qingshang cousin's family and protect her like this, she thought of her father and mother......"
I don't know why, after saying this, Huo Jiuge's eyes turned red in an instant, and when he saw it in everyone's eyes, he suddenly had a different feeling.
The corners of Qin's eyes jumped, but a loving smile appeared on his face, and he said a few high-sounding words, giving people the illusion that the elders loved the younger ones.
Huo Jiuge knew that in the years when the original owner was gone, the Qin clan's forces had infiltrated the Rongguo Mansion, and even her only relative here, Old Man Huo, had been brainwashed by her, and she was weak and alone, so it was not so easy to bring her down.
Instead of tearing her face, it is better to maintain the peace on the surface for the time being, and wait until the later thoughts are in the future.
