As soon as she entered the door, she greeted the old man, "Grandpa, how are you always in good health? I heard from Xingzhou that you were back home, so I came over to greet you."
The old man didn't like her, so he hummed with a cold face.
Liu Mengping was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I also brought you some Lao Jixiang's carrot cake. It's freshly baked. You can try it."
With that said, he put the gift he brought directly into Sui'an's hand.
She was using Sui'an's current people to do their bidding.
Sui An didn't care and handed it to the servant to put on the plate.
"Don't bother. I just finished my meal and can't eat anymore. I'm tired. Miss Liu, please help yourself."
This is an eviction order.
Liu Mengping's eyes turned red, and she looked at Huo Chu pitifully.
Huo Yan's defense was obvious, "Grandpa, what happened back then has nothing to do with Meng Ping. Don't always take it out on her."
The old man's face was livid, "I became blind at a young age and mistook fish eyes for pearls."
At that time, Huo Zhu was seriously injured and fell into coma. The Huo family asked the Liu family, who was engaged to marry him, to marry him off. However, the Liu family broke off the engagement. Huo Dujun was so angry that he went all over the city to recruit brides. No one from the wealthy family was willing to let his daughter become a widow after entering the family. In the end, Ruan, who was greedy for money, The family brought their daughter back from the countryside and sent her to the Huo family.
Since then, the Huo family and the Liu family have completely cut off contact.
But after Liu Mengping's husband died, Huo Chu hooked up with her again.
After being kicked out of the old man's place, Liu Mengping did not leave the Governor's Mansion, but went to the east courtyard to meet Mrs. Huo and Huo Ying.
Huo Ying and Liu Mengping were classmates in a missionary school and had always had a good relationship. In addition, Mrs. Huo also liked her, so they resumed their relationship as soon as the misunderstanding was resolved. Now she is a guest here.
Huo Ying took her hand and asked, "When will your foreign goods store open? I can't wait."
Liu Mengping frowned and said, "Now we are in some trouble. The drug store next to us refuses to give up and is trying to make trouble."
Sui'an, who was pulled by Mrs. Huo to stand still, couldn't help but glance at her.
Huo Ying deliberately shouted loudly, "What's the point? Ask my brother to take people around, and I'm sure the store will agree."
Sui'an sneered in her heart, they were indeed brother and sister, one dared to think and the other dared to do.
Liu Mengping smiled softly, and there seemed to be honey in her eyes when she looked at Huo Yan, "Your brother is a young marshal and a great hero, how could he bully ordinary people? I don't think the drug store has much business, so we paid double the price. , I guess the store won’t hold on for long, so let’s wait.”
Mrs. Huo praised her, "Mengping is still sensible, Yingying, you should learn more."
"Not only is she sensible, she is also capable. Many people wanted to represent the Dansi cosmetics brand, but the foreigners chose Sister Mengping."
"That's right. It's not like some people who only eat or sleep, and don't even lay an egg."
Sui'an blinked, he could have been shot even while lying down.
A man's deep voice came to my ears, "You go take care of grandpa first."
Sui An breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time his heart stung slightly. Didn't he think she was an eyesore?
Before she even reached the door, she heard Huo Ying say: "Brother, when did you divorce her and marry Sister Ping?"
She wanted to know the answer, but she didn't dare to listen. She lowered her head and hurried to the small kitchen, staring at the stove fire for a long time.
I went back to my room just before dinner, and was about to change my clothes when I found a man sitting on the sofa reading a book.
She put down her hands to unbutton the buttons, thought for a moment, walked to her dressing room and pulled out the hairpin ring from her bun. She shook it gently, and the satin-like black hair fell down.
There was another person in the mirror, Huo Zhu stood behind her, his face was cold and his eyes were calm.
Sui'an tightened her grip on the comb and was about to get up when she suddenly saw a carved five-wood box placed on the dressing table.
She raised her eyes and looked at him puzzled.
"Ahem, this is for you, open it and take a look."
Sui'an's fingers curled up slightly, showing courtesy for nothing was either adultery or theft. Did he want Liu Mengping to come in?
When the box was opened, there was a flash of light in the room, and Sui An was startled.
The box full of gems of various colors was almost blinding her.
This box is worth ten thousand gold. Is he going to demote his wife to a concubine and marry Liu Mengping?
Sui An bit her lower lip gently, waiting for the man to reveal his answer.
Seeing that she was unmoved, Huo Yan was a little annoyed, "You don't like it?"
Sui An's slender fingers gently touched the jewelry, "I like it. No woman wouldn't like such a beautiful gem."
Only then did Huo Yan feel satisfied, "That's good."
Seeing how he was hesitant to speak, Sui'an's heart sank a little, "Young Marshal, please tell me if you have anything to say." He grunted in an annoying way.
"I made a mistake in my judgment in the first place. A remnant of assassins did appear in the south of the city. You...last night...were my fault. I shouldn't have abandoned you."
He finally knew.
Sui An's nose felt sore and she almost cried.
She wanted to throw herself into his arms and tell him her fear and breakdown.
She raised her watery eyes and leaned forward... only to see the red mark on the collar of his shirt.
Suddenly a hot heart felt like being thrown into a hole in the ice.
It was just compensation out of guilt, and she actually took it seriously.
Sui An smiled mockingly to himself and suppressed his desire to talk. Since there was no love, he would hold on to the benefits.
"Young Marshal, I'm fine. You'd better take back these jewels."
Seeing him frown, she continued: "Actually, I have something else to ask you for help with."
"you say."
"The Chinese medicine shop that Miss Liu mentioned just now is owned by my mother's hometown. She came to me to talk to the young marshal two days ago, hoping that the young marshal would be kind enough to give him a way out."
After saying that, she poured a cup of tea and handed it over, waiting for his answer quietly.
