Chapter 16: Self-Inflicted Consequences

When the Qin family left, they took away a group of servants, but Huo Jiuge left Mama Zhang alone.

"Do you remember what you said?" Her voice was soft and docile, as if she had returned to the obedient and sensible Huo Jiuge at the beginning, but for some reason, Mama Zhang only felt that there was a cold current passing by her body, and she was at a loss for what to do.

Mama Zhang was dumbfounded for a while, unable to speak for a long time.

It was Qiu Cicada who broke the silence first, "I remember that Mama insisted that Dongmei and I stole things from the house, and even took off our clothes in public to check!" If Miss hadn't stopped her in time, I'm afraid that Dongmei and I would have died of shame by now. ”

Mama Zhang knew that she couldn't hide from the autumn queen to settle accounts, so she could only apologize to them with a smile: "I'm sorry for this autumn cicada girl, and Dongmei girl, it's the old body that offended you, I can't compensate you here, I hope you can not remember the villain." ”

Mama Zhang is the old man in the Rongguo Mansion, whether it is the Shen family or the Qin family, she is the master of the house by relying on her whiskers and sycophants, except for the old lady and Miss Gongzi in the house, who must not respectfully say Zhang Mama when she sees her? Now she never thought that the two girls would be planted with their heads, this shame is enough for her to remember for a long time.

Huo Jiuge saw that her attitude was quite upright, so he bowed his head and asked her to go back, but the moment she turned around, her cold voice suddenly sounded again: "Oh, don't forget, remember to go to Mr. Bookkeeper and say that you will deduct three months' wages as compensation for my two maids." ”

Mama Zhang's steps paused, then nodded heavily, and replied, "The slave knows." ”

With that, she left the place as fast as she could.

Qiu Chan and Dong Mei looked at her back and fled, and they were overjoyed, if they hadn't looked at it, it was estimated that both of them would have applauded.

Who let this Mama Zhang like to bully them in ordinary times, and now she has suffered a loss from them, so she can only say that the retribution is not happy.

"Don't be stunned." Huo Jiuge turned to them and ordered: "Hurry up and go to Mr. Bookkeeper to get your compensation, if you go late, I'm worried that they won't admit it." ”

"Hmm!" Qiu Chan and Dong Mei replied in unison.

This scene ends with Huo Jiuge's victory.

On the way back, Dongmei couldn't help but ask, "Miss, how did you know that Mrs. Qin sent someone to follow us?" ”

"Didn't you notice that no matter what happened, the Qin clan always arrived in time?" The corners of Huo Jiuge's mouth curled: "Even if it's not her, it's those grandmothers around her, do you really just think it's all a coincidence?"

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Chan and Dongmei instantly understood, at first they thought that the Qin clan had the ability to predict the future, and the reason was that she had already planted eyeliner beside them.

From the first time they went to the ancestral hall to see Huo Jiuge, they had been exposed under her nose.

After Qiu Cicada and Dongmei went back that time, Huo Jiuge found a series of footprints of different shades in the snow, judging from this, she knew that they must have been followed.

So the latter time deliberately let them secretly put the golden hairpin into their arms, making a look of stealing, and then when they were not paying attention, they dropped the bag with the pen and paper.

If it weren't for the trouble that the Qin clan deliberately wanted to find himself, today's farce would not have happened.

Maybe it was the heavens that couldn't stand it anymore, so the wild cat that came out of nowhere jumped on the shrine and caused this turmoil.

The Qin family had just experienced the farce of the ancestral hall, and before he could recover his senses, he was told that his youngest son was infected with the epidemic, which really happened to be a night of rain.

She immediately rushed to Huo Changbai's residence, but was stopped at the door.

"Bold!" The maid beside the Qin clan shouted loudly at the subordinates who stopped them, "Blind dog eyes? Even dare to stop your wife's car, are you going to die? ”

If it were in the past, the Qin family would have arrested the little guy who stopped the car and asked for the crime, but at this time, she put her mind on Huo Changbai, who was infected with the epidemic, and she didn't have the heart to hold others accountable for the time being.

But the little guy also acted on orders, and he said with a look of embarrassment: "It was the adults who let us stay in the courtyard of the little boy, so as not to let anyone in, so as not to be infected with the epidemic!" ”

Just when the Qin clan was stopped outside the door and couldn't enter, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and Huo Ren walked out of it with a sad face.

Seeing her husband walk out of it, Qin Shi seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, she hurriedly stepped forward to hold Huo Ren's hand and asked, "How is Changbai now?" ”

It's okay if she didn't say this, but as soon as she spoke, Huo Ren became even more upset, he shook off his hand with disgust on his face, and then pointed at Qin Shi and scolded: "You still have the face to ask?" How do you do motherhood? Why did cypress come into contact with the clothes of people who were plagued? ”

He asked a few questions in a row, and the Qin clan who asked them was dizzy, and it took him a long time to react.

The Qin family was already frightened because of the fire in the ancestral hall, and now she was scolded by Huo Ren like this, and her whole person sat on the ground as if she had been sucked out of her soul.

Her mind was full of the question Huo Ren had just asked her.

Why? Why did cypress get the plague? Obviously, she asked her to put those dirty clothes in the ancestral hall, but why didn't Huo Jiuge have anything to do? And his own son is sick?

All of this must have been done by Huo Jiuge's slut!

As soon as Qin Shi thought of this, her eyes immediately became fierce, even her nails were embedded in her palms, and even blood flowed out, she didn't feel pain, she just wanted Huo Jiuge to die now!

The people in the Xianghe Courtyard here didn't know what was going on, under the candlelight, the girl was holding a medical book in her hand, reclining on the couch and slowly flipping through it, and suddenly sneezed heavily for some reason.

Seeing this, Qiu Cicada hurriedly draped the warm cloak on her body, and then reminded her: "Miss, it's almost late at night, it's better to rest early, and take care of your body." ”

Huo Jiuge put down the medical book and asked, "What's the situation over there?" ”

"Miss Hui, the little boy has been infected with the epidemic, and now he has been taken to the shop on the outskirts of Beijing, and the master also ordered the entire courtyard to be blocked, if there is no important matter, you can't move around at will." Dongmei told everything she had just found out.

"A shop on the outskirts of Beijing? What is it? Huo Jiuge frowned.

"That place is a place specially set aside by the emperor's order for people infected with the plague to be treated intensively." Autumn Cicada replied.

"And I heard that there are more and more people infected with this disease now, and even the imperial doctors in the palace are helpless, and the emperor has ordered people to paste the imperial list, saying that as long as someone can cure this disease, a thousand gold ingots will be rewarded."

"But the emperor list has been glued for several days, and still no one can tear it off."

"Even the imperial doctors in the palace can't cure the disease, who can cure it in this people?"

"It's just ......"

Qiu Cicada and Dong Mei began to chat one by one, but Huo Jiuge fell into deep thought when he listened to their words.
