Huo Nian glanced at his sister at a loss. Huo Xi patted his hand and smiled at him to reassure him.
Wu had cried enough and came out just in time to see it.
"Look, they still say it's not her! Her father is still lying on the bed and doesn't know who is going on, but these two siblings still have the nerve to smile!"
Huo Xi looked at her: "What about Aunt Wu? My father is still lying on the bed right now. If you don't cry for a while, don't you feel sorry for my father? Are you still thinking of coming to accuse me now?"
Wu's face choked.
Zhang Jie jumped up, dissatisfied with Huo Xi's title, and pointed at Huo Xi: "My mother is not an aunt! She is the mistress of the Duke's mansion!"
"Your mother is the mistress of the Duke's Mansion? Who admitted it? When your mother entered our Zhang family, she was nothing. When your sister was born, she was an aunt, and when you were born, she was still an aunt."
Zhang Jie jumped over and almost poked Huo Xi's face with his finger, but Huo Xi pushed it away.
Mrs. Wu talked about Huo Xi's past again and again, and she hated her so much that she gritted her teeth and said angrily, wishing that she would die.
He turned around and faced the Madam with a sad face: "Madam, look at it, the Duke has fallen, and I am afraid that this title will not be saved. I said that the one I brought back from outside was not well-raised, but you still don't believe it.
Lord, please get up and take a look, the family is going to fall!"
Zhang Fu frowned: "Sister-in-law, stop yelling, it's causing us a headache. You're just making random accusations before things are clear."
Mrs. Hou glanced at Zhang Min and said, "Yes. Xi'er has just returned home after Nian'er. She can't even stand on her heels. The eldest brother has fallen. What good does it do to them."
What Wu said is baseless and unconvincing.
Mrs. Wu secretly resented that her second wife and her third wife had fawned over their mother and son before, and the eldest sister-in-law was short-tempered, but now that her son had changed, she had changed her face.
Just wait, when she gains power, she will drive out the second and third bedrooms.
"Didn't you hear their siblings clamoring to avenge their mother? Didn't they say that I harmed their mother? The Duke of Guo protected our mother and son. These two must be dissatisfied. In addition, the prince fell off a horse before, and I am afraid that he will hate him in his heart.
The Duke is here. I wish that if something happened to the Duke, he could help the crown prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible. Then wouldn’t this huge Duke’s mansion belong to their siblings?”
Seeing that everyone seemed to have listened, I felt proud.
Looking at Mrs. Tai: "At that time, all of us will have to go out to open a new mansion. Except for them, we are all side branches. From now on, in this mansion, people can entertain whoever they want, whether their surname is Huo or Yang."
No matter what, I’m not comfortable with myself!”
Madam Tai's eyes shrank, the Duke's surname was Zhang!
There is no reason for cats and dogs to get involved. Everything in the mansion is possible today. In addition to Wen Bi, half of the credit is due to the old Duke!
"Come here, detain the eldest lady and the fifth young master in the courtyard. If anyone dares to let them out without my instructions, they will be beaten to death with sticks!"
"Mother, the matter has not been clarified yet..." Zhang Min and Zhang Fu hurriedly spoke out.
Zhang Jin, who was extremely anxious on the side, also tried to persuade him: "Yes, Mrs. Tai. Last night, my subordinates also accompanied the Duke of Guo to have dinner at Huo's house and drink wine together. Everyone is fine. It's better to wait for the doctor.
The diagnosis result."
Don't let the eldest lady and the prince feel cold.
Zhang Jin did not believe that the prince and the eldest lady would harm the Duke.
But the lady didn't listen, "This matter has been settled. When will the Duke of Guo get better, he will let them out."
Huo Xi didn't say much. She stood up and was about to leave. She paused and turned to look at Wu. Wu met her gaze. Her face was calm, but her eyebrows were raised.
Huo Xi curled up her lips and turned to leave.
"Sister..." Nian'er was carried by Bao Kang and followed Huo Xi. She had tears in her eyes when she thought of her father who was lying on the bed unaware of anything else.
Huo Xi touched his head: "Don't worry, he will get better."
"Is it really going to be okay?"
Huo Xi nodded: "Yes. Let's go back to the courtyard. It's time to practice, practice, and do homework. If you have anything to do, call my sister."
"Isn't it grounded?"
"No one can stop our feet."
Huo Nian didn't understand, but he listened to his sister and returned to his yard.
The news of the British Duke's death caused a stir in the capital. Even the emperor on the throne heard about it and hurriedly summoned the imperial doctor for questioning.
After hearing the imperial doctor report his condition, he was stunned.
"How come we can't find any symptoms? Even poisoning has causes, so why can't we find anything?"
Zhang Fu is an upright official, and I have never heard of anyone having any grudges. I saw him in the hall yesterday and he was fine. He had a rosy complexion and a strong body. He could mount a horse and drive away enemies in Mobei for a month without rest.
, why did he suddenly fall down?
"The British Lord is my right-hand man, and I cannot afford to let anything go wrong. I will ask the envoy of the Imperial Hospital to lead all the imperial doctors to diagnose the disease in England and find out the cause of the disease as soon as possible."
"yes!"
Concubine Zhang from the Harem and Concubine Zhang from the East Palace sent people to visit her one after another. People from various palaces in Beijing also sent people to visit her, or came to visit in person.
Even though the Imperial Hospital envoy led a group of imperial doctors to conduct consultations day and night, the condition could not be diagnosed. The British Duke still slept peacefully in bed unconsciously. Because he could not eat normally, the rosy color on his face gradually disappeared.
There is news outside that Britain's public life will soon be over.
There was a lot of discussion in various prefectures in the capital.
"British justice was in its prime, how could it suddenly fall?" It happened without any warning, which was very strange.
"Is this strange? The high-rise building looks bright outside, but who knows what's going on inside."
"You mean?"
"I did not say anything."
"Tsk tsk, there have been a lot of things going on in the Duke's mansion these days. First, it was reported that the wife's child was not dead, and then it turned out that two children were still alive. It was finally brought back to the mansion, and the eldest son was crowned the crown prince, and then not long after
The Prince of Heaven fell off his horse! Then it was reported that the eldest lady had behaved inappropriately, and it was reported that the Duke’s wife poisoned the First Lady..."
"This is so messy."
"No."
Because of the fall of the British Duke, a lot of gossip has been added to the people of the capital. Some noble houses have investigated themselves, fearing that there are some unknown things hidden in their own backyards, and their tricks will be exposed and make people laugh.
The skin of each house has collapsed a little tighter.
It’s another cool night filled with stars.
Huo Xi was led by Ting Lei into Zhang Fuyuan.
"Who?" Zhang Jin and Zhang Liang's father and son rushed out from the inner room.
"Miss?"
Huo Xi nodded to the two of them and walked into the house. Seeing that Dr. Jiang was guarding the inner room, she said to Zhang Liang, "Brother Zhang, please send Dr. Jiang to rest."
He also blessed Dr. Jiang: "Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Jiang. It's night, please rest. If anything happens, I'll send someone to call you."
Doctor Jiang glanced at Huo Xi, didn't ask any questions, nodded, and walked out. Zhang Liang glanced at his father, saw his father nodded, and took the doctor to a side yard to rest.
