Half an hour later, the Qin family walked to the ancestral hall with a young girl, she walked all the way, Huo Jiuge looked at it from a distance, only to feel that the other party was menacing, a pair of Danfeng eyes flew up slightly, indescribably charming and fierce, and her body was decorated with pearls and jade, and her clothes were extremely luxurious.

And the woman beside her, if Huo Jiuge didn't guess wrong, should be the second lady from the second room, Huo Qingwu.

Her biological mother was originally just a subordinate who served by the old man's side, and I don't know what means she used, so Huo Ren fell in love with her and took her as a concubine, and a year later, she was born.

It's just a pity that Huo Qingwu, who was born out of the house, looks down on his biological mother very much, but especially scolds his mother-in-law Qin, and even has a better relationship with her than with his biological mother.

Of course, the Qin family would not refuse this opportunity to show her virtuous reputation, and she asked Huo Qingwu to study with her daughter, just like green leaves to set off the red flowers.

Although Huo Qingwu's reputation is not as good as Huo Qingshang, the first talented woman in the capital, she is also ranked among the famous ladies.

In the memory left by the original owner, this cousin treated her very harshly, and there were some things that Huo Qingshang was inconvenient to come forward, so she would do all the work for her, and her personality was raised very arrogantly, and she often bullied the original owner behind her back.

got up and walked to him, and suddenly found that Huo Jiuge was standing there safely, looking like nothing was going on, her face suddenly sank, she looked at Mama Zhang, as if she was blaming her for not doing things well.

"What did you call me for?"

Mama Zhang was about to speak, but her words were snatched away by Huo Jiuge, "Aunt wants to make the decision for me!" She pretended to be coquettish and complained to the Qin family: "Dongmei and Qiu Chan were originally my maids, but now they have been wronged for no reason, Mama Zhang said that she was instructed by you, but no one in the whole capital knows your virtuous and virtuous virtues, this looks like a slave is making trouble behind his back, in order to divide the relationship between the Rongguo Mansion and the Yushi Mansion, aunt, you have to find out the matter, otherwise it will not be good for both of our families." ”

This is the second time that Huo Jiuge has shown in front of everyone that he is the master of the Rongguo Mansion, if the first time was accidental, then this second time was deliberately embarrassing the Qin family.

Although there were thorns in her words, the Qin family was an old fox who had been dormant in the inner house for many years, how could she expose flaws because of this sentence? She wants everyone to know that she doesn't follow the rules, and the person who committed the following offense is her Huo Jiuge.

The Qin family just smiled indifferently, "The Huo family is very strict, not to mention that the servants and maids have committed crimes, even the young master has made mistakes, and he must be punished." ”

"Although these two maids are yours, if your hands and feet are really unclean as Mama Zhang said, you must deal with them in accordance with the family rules, hit the twenty boards and then report to the official for processing. I will never shield them because of whose maids they are. The righteousness of Qin's words was awe-inspiring, obviously framing people, but it seemed that she was fair.

"Then if someone deliberately framed him, how should he deal with it?" Huo Jiuge was not annoyed, and still maintained a decent smile.

"Jiu Ge rest assured, the Huo family will definitely not tolerate the black sheep, as long as it is proved that your two maids are innocent in the end, then let the whistleblower kneel down and apologize to them, and then pay a salary of three months as compensation." The Qin family has always maintained the majesty of being the head of the house, and no one present dared to refute what she said.

If this was Huo Jiuge in the past, she would have been frightened a long time ago, but now she has a calm face, since the Qin family has said it to this point, Huo Jiuge will follow her will and let Qiu Cicada and Dong Mei hand over the things in their arms.

Qiu Cicada and Dongmei looked at each other with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

"Since your master has spoken, why haven't you handed over the things? Do you really want me to be searched? Mama Zhang relied on the Qin family to support her, and she was extremely confident when she said cruel words.

Seeing that Qiu Cicada and Dong Mei were not moving, Mama Zhang stepped forward and tore the hands in their arms away, and the thing fell to the ground with a "bang".

"Madame, please look!" Mama Zhang didn't even glance at the things on the ground, so she hurriedly complained: "This is what they stole from." ”

Qin Shi looked at the things scattered on the ground, frowned, and before she could speak, Mama Zhang continued: "The old slave has long noticed that these two girls are sneaky, and today I sent someone to follow them to take a look, and sure enough, I found the clue......

"Is Mama Zhang's so-called clue referring to these things on the ground?" Huo Jiuge interrupted her and asked her to see what was on it clearly before speaking.

Mama Zhang looked back at the ground and was dumbfounded, how could it be such a thing?

She obviously saw these two little girls put the golden hairpin into her clothes, how did she become these things?

She cast a gaze to the Qin clan for help, but was ignored by the other party.

Qin Shi said lightly: "Although it is just some paper and ink, if you just let them go like this, what if they steal something more valuable one day?" If you don't punish the two of them this time, I'm afraid that people will laugh at the lax family law of the Rongguo Mansion, and even the discipline of the servants in the mansion is not good, I'm afraid that they will laugh and be generous. ”

She deliberately threw this dilemma to Huo Jiuge, and then waited for her reaction.

Huo Jiuge glanced at the things on the ground, raised his head and said, "I asked them to bring these things to me, so it's not what you said they were stealing." ”

"After a night of reflection in the ancestral hall, Jiu Ge deeply realized his mistake, it was my poor thinking that would lead to such a disaster, so in order to make up for the mistakes I had put down, I asked the two girls, Qiu Cicada and Dong Mei, to find me some paper and ink, and wanted to copy the Buddhist scriptures to pray for the blessing of the Huo family, but I didn't expect this matter to disturb you, aunt."

Huo Jiuge's attitude is sincere, and people can't find the slightest fault.

Qin didn't expect her to say this, everything was under her control, but when she said this, it became hers.

At this time, Huo Qingwu spoke: "These two people are the maids by your side, it is reasonable for you to protect them like this, Mama Zhang has seen them wandering in the ancestral hall for many days, since there is no stolen goods on them, it must be in the ancestral hall." ”

"And you, Huo Jiuge, as their master, must have your share in this matter!"

Qin's eyes and ears are all over the Rongguo Mansion, but if there is a little wind and grass, it can't escape her eyes, and Huo Qingwu is not shy about saying this.

I don't know if she is really stupid, or if she is in a hurry to give the Qin family a head in order to win her favor.

But what she didn't notice was that the moment she said this, Qin's expression froze obviously, and it was obvious that this sentence accidentally exposed the fact that she had been monitoring Huo Jiuge.

Huo Jiuge sighed when he heard this, and said half-jokingly: "I didn't know that my aunt cared about me so much, and she always sent someone to pay attention to my safety." ”

Qin Shi reluctantly squeezed out a smile and explained to her: "You, like the other children in the house, are the daughters of the Huo family, and it is also for your sake to send more people to take care of them." ”

Huo Jiuge also smiled brightly: "Then Jiuge is grateful for your concern, aunt." ”

"It should." Qin's smile was almost stiff, this was the first time she felt Huo Jiuge's compelling aura, which also strengthened this person's heart.
