Huo Changze was about to explode with anger. When the person he had been looking for for several days showed up again, he turned out to be his father's Jiu Yiniang?
Shen Jiao shivered under Huo Changze's gaze. She didn't expect that the day when she fell off her horse would come so quickly.
She could only silently pray in her heart that Huo Changze would not take the opportunity to retaliate against her for exposing her dog hole.
Huo Qi saw that something seemed to be wrong between the two of them. He frowned and asked, "What? Have you seen it before?"
Shen Jiao's heart immediately rose, and her beautiful eyes looked at Huo Changze helplessly, looking pitiful and painful.
Huo Changze seemed to glance at her and said in a cold tone: "No. It just looks familiar."
Shen Jiao just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Huo Changze suddenly ask her: "How is Jiu Yiniang?"
Shen Jiao didn't understand why Huo Changze asked her this, so she answered obediently: "Very good."
"Then why do I see that Jiu Yiniang is not in good spirits? It couldn't be because she didn't sleep last night, right?"
…
Was Huo Changze lying to her and running away from him a few days ago?
Huo Qi suddenly said: "Really? Jiao'er, come here and let me take a closer look."
Huo Changze suddenly stopped talking.
Huo Qi waved to Shen Jiao. Shen Jiao hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked to Huo Qi and stood next to Huo Qi despite Huo Changze's look that wanted to eat her up.
Huo Qi looked at her for a while, then said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong, Jiao'er is still as charming as usual."
Huo Changze on the side endured and endured, silently reciting "This is me" eight hundred times in his heart, before he resisted the urge to splash Huo Qi's blood on the spot.
However, Huo Qi didn't notice at all that Huo Changze was on the verge of losing control. He spoke slowly:
"I called you here today because I want you to get to know each other. Nagasawa, give your Jiu Yiniang a cup of tea. From now on, we..."
Before Huo Qi could finish speaking, Huo Changze suddenly sneered: "Is she worthy?"
Hearing Huo Changze's words, Huo Qi became furious: "What are you talking about! She is your aunt!"
Huo Changze got angry when he heard the word aunt, "Aunt? Aunt at such a young age? She was still drinking milk when I was killing the enemy on the battlefield, right?"
Huo Qi stretched out an old finger and pointed at Huo Changze with trembling fingers, "You...bastard!"
Huo Changze's eyes were filled with anger and he sneered, "I'm a bastard, so what are you? She's so young she can be your grandson!"
Huo Qi was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe, and his face turned red from holding back.
Shen Jiao couldn't ignore it in front of everyone, so she could only pretend to pat him on the back to help him calm down.
Huo Changze stood aside and watched this scene coldly. Everything told him that this was just his own passion.
Okay, very good.
Huo Changze turned around and strode out.
…
It took Huo Qi a long time to recover. He was breathing heavily and looked older than usual.
After he recovered, Huo Qi cursed again: "This evil obstacle..."
Huo Qi took another breath. Looking at Shen Jiao's delicate face, he felt excited and said:
"If I were thirty years younger, no, not thirty, twenty is enough, I could stay with you longer."
Stay with her longer? It's better to say goodbye. No matter how young he is, he is still a fifty-year-old bad old man. Is it very different from now?
If it's really for her own good, then die quickly.
Shen Jiao complained in her heart, but she still comforted him outwardly: "I will live a long life."
Huo Qi shook his head. He knew what kind of condition his body was in. "I called you here today just to make plans for your future."
"I only have one son, Huo Changze. No matter how much he hates me, he is still my son. Everything in the General's Mansion will belong to him from now on.
You should always have a good relationship with him, and he will still protect you after I die. "
Shen Jiao: "..."
Huo Qi continued: "I left you a sum of money, enough for you to spend for several lifetimes."
"It's just that I have a request."
Huo Qi suddenly grabbed her arm, his expression a little distorted, and said, "After I die, you are not allowed to remarry!"
"Did you hear me!"
Shen Jiao was startled by his appearance and quickly followed his words: "I heard it."
Huo Qi calmed down and murmured: "You can only belong to me."
…
A few days after the last time Huo Qi failed to find anyone going crazy in her place, the housekeeper changed the servants in her yard. He said that the original one was too sloppy and could not take care of his master well.
Shen Jiao felt cold in her heart. She thought that incident had passed, but she didn't expect that Huo Qi still remembered it.
Replace all the people in her yard... isn't this a disguised form of spying on her?
Bitao was also replaced, but despite her repeated objections, it was of no use.
It's not that she controls Huo Qi... but that Huo Qi has been controlling her...
She is just a little canary raised by Huo Qicheng.
Realizing this, Shen Jiao became depressed, and even spending money could not bring her happiness.
Moreover, the sweat medicine was gone. Every time Huo Qi came over, she would hit him hard when he was not prepared. To be honest, although she felt very happy, Shen Jiao was still afraid of killing him.
It doesn't matter if Huo Qi dies, the most important thing is not to die here.
But it's not like nothing good happens all the time. Shen Jiao accidentally meets an old friend.
"Ah Chou?"
The boy turned his head when he heard her voice, and Shen Jiao immediately saw a large black mark on his face.
"It's really you! Why are you here?"
A Chou didn't expect that he could meet her here. Seeing Shen Jiao's radiant appearance now, he felt even more ashamed.
So he lowered his head, not wanting Shen Jiao to see his ugly face, and whispered: "I...I was sold."
A Chou said that he usually did some dirty and tiring work and never saw the customers. But that day a boy fell ill, and no one else could be found to take his place.
During this period, he kept standing aside with his head lowered, never raising his head to look around.
It wasn't until a drunken guest pointed at him and asked him to come over and pour the wine for him that he could move his body that was already numb from standing.
A Chou was born with deficiencies, and his nutrition did not keep up, causing him to look thinner. The guest was so drunk that he mistook him for a woman and immediately tried to belittle him.
Then...then I saw a large birthmark on his face.
One guest was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot. When he came to his senses and heard the ridicule from all around, he felt humiliated and immediately made a scene in Yichun Building.
The man's family had some background, and the madam didn't dare to offend him at all. He only calmed down the matter by compensating and laughing.
"Then Aunt Hong didn't want to keep me anymore, so she sold me to Renyazi, and then I was sold here..."
Shen Jiao felt heartbroken after hearing A Chou's experience. Such a young child was sold like an item.
This feudal society really wants to eat people!
"Ah Chou, why don't you come to my yard? I will protect you."
"I……"
As soon as Ah Chou opened his mouth, Chunmei, who took Bitao's place, immediately interrupted him.
"Jiu Yiniang, I have arranged enough manpower for you. If you take someone back from outside so rashly, I am afraid I will be unhappy."
"Do you have any say in this?" Shen Jiao glared at her and reprimanded loudly.
Shen Jiao was very angry. This new maid was not as lively and cute as Bi Tao. All she could do was lecture her next to her all day long, and she was almost bored to death.
A Chou didn't want to see her in trouble, so he said, "Sister Shen, I...I can't go with you."
"Why?"
"I am a member of the eighth aunt's courtyard, so I can't just leave."
"What's the matter? I'll just send someone to get you."
So Shen Jiao turned to Chunmei and said, "Go and tell Ba Yiniang that I will take this boy away. You can then pick a capable person in our yard and send it to her."
Although Chunmei had just been scolded by Shen Jiao, she still dutifully agreed, "Yes."
