When Huo Xi heard what Huo Sipan said, she wanted to ask who knew them, but she also knew that now was not the time to ask.
Her father, Huo, was not a talkative person, and her mother would not talk about their siblings to the people in Huojiaba. Fang and Huo Sipan could only know about it if someone deliberately revealed it to them.
Before she had time to think too much, Fang had already reached out to hold her hand with enthusiasm.
"You kid, you didn't even tell your family about such a big thing. You kept it a secret from us. You don't even know how happy your family is when they find out."
I heard that the two children of Erhuai were actually the children of the Duke of Guo. The Huo family actually raised the children for the Duke of Guo!
The whole family was shocked.
The whole family is a mess, and when they see the servants who have no rank, they are so frightened that their calves tremble. What kind of existence is this, the Duke of the country? He is so high that no one can even look up to him.
They actually have a relationship with the Duke's government?
The whole family was surprised and happy at the same time. They all wanted to come to Erhuai to find out what happened.
It's just that the old man held everyone back. If Si Pan hadn't had an idea and sneaked away with her, she would never have seen the scenery of the Duke's Mansion. She would never see such wealth in her lifetime.
Huo Xi calmly took out her hand and called her, "Sit down. Don't stand."
"Hey, hey."
Mrs. Fang stared at Huo Xi. She was rich and noble, and the jade hairpin on her head was enough to support her family for several years. Tsk tsk. This granddaughter made her dare not look directly at her before, and now she dares not to look directly at her.
She said that this granddaughter did not look like Erhuai or Yang. The Yang family also said that she looked like her mother. Bah, her mother could raise such a granddaughter!
They thought that Huo Nian was the biological child of Er Huai and Yang. After all, everyone saw Yang when she was pregnant, but they didn't expect that Huo Nian was not Er Huai's child.
He actually became the heir apparent! The Huo family actually raised the future Duke of the Kingdom! Oh my god!
Fang never dared to dream that such a good thing would happen.
As the old saying goes, it is better to cultivate kindness than to give birth to kindness. This future prince of the country was really raised by their family. A leak between his fingers would be enough for them to eat and drink.
Mrs. Fang couldn't help but look at the door of the main hall: "Where's Nian'er? Why don't you come with us? Could it be that now that you are the heir, you don't want to see poor relatives like us?"
Huo Xi frowned.
Huo Sipan was staring at her, shuddering in his heart when he saw her. He quickly said to Fang, "Oh mother, I'm afraid Nian'er is in the academy right now."
"Oh, look at my painted face."
Mrs. Fang glanced at Huo Xi worriedly, fearing that she would be unable to speak and anger her adopted granddaughter. She quickly raised her hand and patted her mouth twice.
Hou glanced at Huo Xi and saw that she had no intention of explaining, so she explained with a smile: "Nian'er fell off his horse a few days ago and is recovering from his injuries at home. It's not that he doesn't want to come see you."
"Ah, Nian'er fell? How was the fall? Is it serious?" Fang asked hurriedly.
Seeing her concerned look, Huo Xi's eyes became gentler.
Why did it fall? Huo Sipan wondered in his mind.
"I broke my leg, and the imperial doctor is worried that there are broken bones inside. It's still lying down. But don't worry, the Duke of Guo is concerned about it, and the imperial doctor comes to diagnose and treat it every day." After speaking, Xiao Wu glanced at Huo Xi.
The two siblings have no grudge against her. It makes no difference to her who is the eldest son. But seeing the Wu family being suppressed, she will be reminded of her step-brother's identity as a house filler.
I always feel a little bit unwilling in my heart.
She is also the daughter of a good family, why should she be inferior to others? Even the son she gave birth to is inferior to others.
When the siblings didn't come back, she was the wife of the third wife, and she was aloof. But as soon as they came back, when people talked about Wu, they would also think of her as a house filler.
Make her unhappy.
Huo Xi felt that Xiao Wu seemed to be a little hostile to her, but she didn't know why. For example, at this moment, she felt that Xiao Wu's words were uncomfortable, and when she looked at her, she didn't seem to be targeting her.
Huo Xi was full of doubts and did not answer Xiao Wu's words.
Seeing that Mrs. Fang breathed a sigh of relief again, "That's good, that's good. If your leg is broken, how can you still be the heir apparent?"
Huo Xi decided to take back the kindness released by Fang just now.
Huo Sipan came in from Huo Xi and kept staring at her. At this time, he was very upset about why he brought his mother here. His mother couldn't speak.
"We didn't know that something happened to Nian'er when we came here. We were surprised when we heard that my second brother's two children were the Duke's children, and we were eager to ask for more information. Now that we see them well, we are happy from the bottom of our hearts.
In those years, my second brother and second sister-in-law were rowing a small boat. They couldn’t even eat enough and were reluctant to eat or wear clothes, so they raised our two children.”
The madam looked at him lightly.
Mrs. Hou then said some words of thanks, "Thanks to the adoptive father and adoptive mother who cherished my son and cherished my son. Our Duke's office will keep it in our hearts."
When Mrs. Fang saw the other party, she only said a bunch of words of gratitude to Erhuai and Yang, saying that it was nothing to her.
Then she talked about the hard work she had to raise five children, and how difficult it was to raise them with poop and pee. They all said it was the credit of Erhuai and Yang, but without her, Erhuai raised Erhuai.
, can he raise the child of the Grand Duke?
Mrs. Fang kept chattering about her achievements. Huo Xi did not speak out of filial piety.
There was a madam and two aunts in the hall, and it was not her turn as a junior to interrupt. Fortunately, Mrs. Hou was a sociable person, and she kept going back and forth with Mrs. Fang, suppressing everything that Mrs. Fang wanted to say.
"I heard that the adoptive father of the two children was sent to someone else's house to be your son-in-law?"
Mrs. Fang kept talking, talking about the difficulty of raising children, when she was suddenly pushed back by Mrs. Hou's words.
For a moment, I forgot what I wanted to say. I was a little anxious and glanced at my son beside me.
Huo Sipan is eloquent at home and in the village, but how can he speak in front of a housewife who is like a spirit?
"Back then, my family was poor, so I had no choice but to marry my second brother out."
Hou's dry explanation only received an "Oh."
Huo Xi didn't like Fang and Huo Sipan, but she also didn't like others looking down on her adopted father and adopted mother.
He stood up and said, "Grandma, come and sit in my yard for a while."
The madam was no longer dizzy and energetic. She hurriedly ordered the maid beside her: "Go and bring over the thank you gift I prepared." She signaled with her eyes to the maid beside her.
The man immediately responded and went out.
Fang's eyes brightened, and Huo Sipan was also happy, but he declined: "We just came to see the two children, we didn't think about anything else."
"Your family has helped raise two children. What is a thank you gift worth? Isn't this what it should be? The children are raised by their father and mother. Our family wants to show that they are still unwilling to accept it. Such a great kindness,
How can our family forget this?"
Hou said lightly. Seeing that Huo Xi was willing to take people over to entertain him, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ms. Fang stared at the door happily, expecting the maid who had gone out to get the thank-you gift to appear. Mother Ma walked up to her and said, "Old lady, come and sit in our girls' courtyard."
Huo Sipan wanted to follow, but Mother Ma stopped her. How could a foreign man enter the girl's yard?
After recruiting someone, he was about to take him to the flower hall to sit, when he saw the girl's adoptive father and adoptive mother rushing over.
