Seeing that Qin Huaiyu was about to go forward to argue with Wu, Dong Chuxue wanted to hold her back, but she was also angry after hearing this, so she planned to go over together to argue with Wu.
Just about to move...
"Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Guan, my lady asked me to call you over." Amber appeared at the right time.
The two stopped: "Xi'er called us?"
"Yes. Miss asked me to invite you to sit down with Mrs. Yang."
"Okay, we'll go with you right now."
The three of them walked to the other side together. Amber heard them muttering and said with a smile: "This is the Duke's mansion, and she is the Duke's wife. Why bother hitting an egg with a stone? There is no point in getting angry with her. The lady will deal with her on her own."
The two sighed, "This Wu family is really difficult to deal with. Xi'er has just entered the house, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight her."
"Don't worry, the lady knows what's going on."
After Huo Xi finished talking to Zhang Biyao, she sent people to find her mother, aunt and others, and prepared to stay with them.
The people who came today are all dignitaries, and they were afraid that they would be isolated, so they were going to look for them.
Just as she was about to go to the yard where the women's family had a banquet, Jixiang came to her and said something happened to the young master.
When Huo Xi heard this, she hurriedly walked to the garden.
While walking, I listened to Ji Xiang's explanation.
But it turned out that it was Huo Nian who took An An, Mu Jie, Fang Qi and others to compete in pot throwing with a group of new friends in the garden.
Huo Nian learned archery and was very accurate, which attracted cheers from all his friends.
Zhang Jie also gathered around with a few of his friends. Unwilling to attract everyone's attention, Huo Nian came over to compete with him.
After several games, they were defeated one by one.
Zhang Jie was so angry that he started talking to each other, saying that Huo Nian was adopted by a fisherman, so he must be good at water skills, so why not show him some swimming for everyone to see.
As usual, Huo Nian would just perform, but what is the occasion today?
How could he not know this and ignore Zhang Jie?
Zhang Jie yelled at him and called him a coward.
An An was furious. Like Huo Nian a few years ago, he had no concept of status. When he heard the other person talking about his brother, he immediately lost his temper.
"My brother is not a coward! My brother is a good swimmer! My brother taught me how to swim!"
When no one was paying attention, he took off his clothes and jumped into the lake to prove it to Zhang Jie and others.
The lake in the British Government House is not big and not very deep, but when the garden was being built, it was made of rockeries and boulders, so a lot of stones were thrown into the lake.
An An thought it was the same as in the river. When he jumped in, his head hit the stone and he was dizzy. There was no bubbling for a long time.
Huo Nian was so anxious that he jumped down.
This made all the young men look stupid.
The people who followed Zhang Jie to make noise were just talking, but they didn't expect that the prince's adopted brother would actually jump into the lake.
Moreover, when An An was fished out, her face was covered in blood.
All the young masters were so frightened that they turned pale.
"An An is dead, An An is dead!" Mu Jie was so frightened that she cried, "You pay! You pay! Wow, An An!"
The blood was still flowing out, and all the young masters were at a loss.
Fortunately, Huo Nian was surrounded by people. Those who called for doctors immediately called for doctors, and those who were looking for someone looked for someone.
When Huo Xi arrived, An An had been moved to a room in the garden.
There was a circle of people in the room. An An had also been given medicine by the doctor, and a layer of white cloth was tied to his forehead. He was being held in Mu Yan's arms, circling Mu Yan's neck and moaning in pain.
He didn't know many people in this house. When he saw Brother Mu, it was like seeing his biological father. He wanted to hug him. He gave him good medicine, and Mu Yan held him in his arms and coaxed him for a long time.
Seeing Huo Xi arrive, she reached out to Huo Xi again, her lips pursed and about to cry: "Sister..."
Huo Xi held him in her arms, and he immediately cried, "Sister, it hurts."
"Sister, I didn't take good care of my brother." Huo Nian saw that the clothes on An An's chest were stained with blood, feeling extremely distressed and guilty.
Huo Xi glanced at him and then looked at Mu Yan.
"The skin was broken and the bleeding was stopped. The doctor checked it and it's nothing serious."
Huo Xi nodded to him, hugged An An and sat down, looking at the wound on his forehead. Although it stopped the bleeding, he didn't know whether the impact was severe or not, whether there was brain oscillation or whether there was blood accumulation.
Then I asked him: "Are you dizzy? Do you feel like vomiting?"
"I'm a little dizzy and don't want to vomit." She leaned against Huo Xi's arms.
"Invite a doctor to stay at home tonight. If something happens, he can be treated in time." Mu Yan saw her worry and said.
Huo Xi nodded and was about to ask him about the situation again when Zhang Fu, Huo Erhuai Yang and others also arrived.
An An fell into Yang's arms again, and Yang checked his wounds. While feeling distressed, she slapped his butt and scolded him for being too naughty.
An An didn't want his mother to comfort him and hit him, and he was right. He wanted to help his brother, so he cried loudly.
Zhang Fu asked about the reason and felt very guilty: "It's all my fault for not being strict with my son. I will make amends for you on my behalf."
Huo Erhuai waved his hand quickly: "The Duke of the State has offended me. It's just a naughty child. It's just a joke between children. The Duke of the State does not need to take it to heart."
The family members of the young masters who were making noise with Zhang Jie also apologized to Huo Erhuai. Huo Erhuai only said that it was just a child's play and it was not a big deal.
They are all noble people, and I don’t want to have any conflicts with them.
Seeing that Huo Erhuai was uncomfortable, Huo Xi spoke up and said, "Nian'er, please take dad and uncle to a banquet and entertain the guests outside. Sister will take An An and mother back to my yard first."
Huo Nian nodded in agreement, and he also wanted to follow.
Zhang Fu scanned around the room and saw that Zhang Jie was not in the room. He had gone somewhere and was so angry. It was difficult to get angry in front of all the guests, so he and Huo Nian led the guests back to the table.
Have a banquet.
The British government palace was very lively today. Not only was there a sumptuous banquet, but a theater troupe was also invited to sing. Considering the number of children coming today, acrobats were also invited.
An An was carried back to Huo Xi's yard, still thinking about the juggling outside, and was scolded by Yang again.
"Why are you scolding An An? It's because they are bad. My brother told me that it's not convenient for the demonstration today, but they still make fun of me! It's because they are bad. I was helping my brother, but my mother still scolded me!"
I feel so wronged. Don’t you know how to take advantage of me?
She stopped being a mother and fell back into Huo Xi's arms.
Huo Xi couldn't laugh or cry.
"Yes, we An'an did the best today. Those people are bad and we won't play with them."
"Well, I won't play with them! But, sister, An An wants to see the sideshow."
"After a while, my sister will have the food and wine brought in. An'an, my mother and my aunt Yin Yin will eat in my sister's courtyard. After eating, my sister will let the juggler come to the yard to show An An, okay?"
"Okay!" I was immediately happy.
"Miss, I'll stay with my wife and the others in the courtyard. You'd better go outside and join the guests. Don't let Wu steal the limelight." Mother Ma suggested.
"Yes, Xi'er, you'd better go outside. Mom and your aunt can stay here with An An."
Huo Xi nodded and returned to the table.
From a distance, she saw Mrs. Wu talking to several ladies. She didn't want to pay attention to them, but some words vaguely reached her ears.
