Huo Xi soon learned of the rumors about her in the mansion.
It's strange, it's just people in the mansion talking about it, but there are no rumors at all outside.
"Madam, this is too mean. There are rumors that our young master's blood is impure! He also said that in order to avoid confusing blood, it is best to abort the child. Is this what people say?"
If you talk nonsense, you are not afraid that if you say the wrong thing, you will be punished by having your tongue pulled out in the future?
Too abominable.
Only then did Huo Xi understand why the Duke of Guo had intervened. It turned out that he was afraid that the Mu family would confuse the bloodline? That was really a major matter that all the heads of family were concerned about.
It seems that Aunt Jun has been enjoying the pillow style a lot.
There were no rumors outside, and I don't know if she had a conscience or had other motives.
"How can Aunt Jun have any conscience? There are many mothers out there. If such rumors spread, maybe the people will side with Madam and argue for Madam. For Aunt Jun, the gain outweighs the loss. She is most afraid of the prince.
He and his wife have won the hearts of the people. Besides, the people who abducted my wife know everything about what happened. What if they are induced to testify against my wife?"
Aunt Ma analyzed Aunt Jun's psychology.
Huo Xi nodded after hearing this, "Aunt Jun did not dare to challenge the Duke of Guo's anger. If the Duke of Guo knew that she had people spreading unfavorable rumors about the family outside and did things that were detrimental to the Mu family, he would be afraid.
She wants to stay away from her. She doesn't need to do that. She just spread the word in the palace, and then spread it to the ears of the Duke, so that the Duke can pressure me to achieve her goal. "
"Even if the fetus in Madam's belly cannot be saved, we have a little fisher. Do you not understand the purpose of Aunt Jun's move?" Vanilla was puzzled.
Do you just want to take revenge on Madam?
So simple?
Huo Xi also frowned and thought deeply, thinking about Aunt Jun's purpose for doing this.
Within a few days, she knew.
The Duke of Guizhou was persuaded by Aunt Mo and asked her to deliver decoction again. Huo Xi refused sternly and did not even see her.
The next day, Aunt Mo came again and brought several women with her. There were also several personal guards of the Duke of Guo outside the courtyard, looking as if they were going to force Huo Xi to submit by force.
Huo Xi was so angry that he directly asked Zhufeng and Qian San to have a fight with them, beating several of the Duke's personal guards to a pulp.
The Duke of Guizhou specially sent someone to scold her, and said that she had arranged for secret guards to be in the backyard of the mansion, breaking the rules, so how could the other female family members live with peace of mind?
At this point, Huo Xi naturally understood Aunt Jun's purpose. She wanted to make herself and Mu Yan disgusted by the Duke.
As for the presence or absence of the child in her belly, Aunt Jun probably doesn't care as it does not pose much of a threat to her. On the contrary, if Mu Yan becomes more and more important in the heart of the Duke, her son Mu Zhan will no longer have a child.
Chance.
Huo Xi thought about it in the room for a long time and figured out the key.
Originally, I wanted to send more people to guard the courtyard to prevent the Duke of Guizhou from forcefully coming, so I prepared a posture to deal with the Duke of Guizhou.
Mu Yan is not here. Although she has manpower, the entire palace is under the control of Duke Qian. If Duke Qian wants to do something, she may not be able to do it.
The child is her bottom line and no one can touch it.
But after she figured out Aunt Jun's intentions, she began to change her strategy and showed her weakness to the State of Guizhou.
First, people told the house what happened after she was abducted in the past few days, and how she escaped. After the rumors spread, Mu Yan suppressed them with thunderous means. The house kept it secret, and no one dared to tell her.
Discuss the master.
So I only know that this thing exists, but I don’t know what’s going on inside.
Everyone thought that Mu Yan sent someone to find her, but they didn't know that she jumped off the cliff and escaped.
"Madam, did she really escape from those people? Or did she jump off a cliff?"
The servants' eyes widened, "Aren't you afraid of death, madam?" If they encountered such a situation, would they dare to try their best to jump off the cliff to survive?
They don't dare. If they jump and die, it's better to live.
"Of course our wife is also afraid, but our wife knows how to swim. She grew up on a fishing boat when she was a child, and her water skills are good. She thought that if she gave it a try, she might have a way out... but then she really waited until the prince came to find her."
"...The old lady in the village has a pair of grandchildren. Before she left, her grandson said that she wanted to be the prince's personal guard. Just last month, our prince sent someone to pick him up from the mountains.
Sent to the Guards Camp for training."
"Really?"
"Isn't it true? Our wife also received dried meat and mushrooms from their grandparents. There were as many as two big sacks. By the way, the dried meat we sent to the kitchen before was sent by that child.
. You should also get a share, right?"
All the servants nodded one after another. Then you ate someone else’s dried meat. This can’t be false, right?
Wherever there were rumors, the servants of Cuihuang Courtyard would rush to tell stories. Within a few days, apart from admiring Huo Xi's courage, the servants no longer had any bad rumors.
In addition to asking people to explain at the mansion, Huo Xi also went to see the Duke of Guizhou in person.
"My lord, I have traveled thousands of miles to leave Qi'er, who is still young, in the capital, and I am chasing my husband. I only care about him in my heart. I feel sorry for him more than anyone else, and I don't want him to get hurt at all. Even if
It's just a rumor that's not good for him. If I really did something sorry for him, I would leave the letter of divorce and leave on my own without anyone having to tell me."
With firm eyes, he said, "The Duke of the country should know that I have the ability to do business. Even if I leave my husband's family, I will not be able to go back to my parents' family, and I will not be in a state of poverty. Besides, my parents' family, the British government, will not
Watching me fall into that situation. My adoptive parents will take me in, and I won’t have nowhere to go. So I’m not afraid of what others say. If something like that happens, I won’t be willing to hurt Mu Yan myself.
, he left on his own a long time ago."
Duke Qian looked at Huo Xi with complicated eyes.
Yan'er and the Zhang family are in love and the house is quiet, which is a blessing for him and his wife, and also a blessing for the big house. The Zhang family has the British government behind them, which is Yan'er's biggest support.
What kind of person is the British Duke? He has fought side by side with the British Duke several times, and he is well aware of his character and abilities. Moreover, the British Duke is more popular with the emperor than he is, and he does not want to be at odds with his in-law family.
What Zhang just said...
Her eyes are firm and her words and deeds are upright and sincere.
The Duke of Guizhou withdrew his eyes from sizing her up, weighed it up, and said warmly: "It's me who got married. Since you and your wife are of the same mind and are not afraid of rumors, I don't have much to say. Now you two are the only ones in the big house, and I, as the elder,
, I cared about him for a while. From now on, you must help him and don't let him worry too much."
"Second uncle, don't worry, my nephew and wife will remember it."
The Duke of Guizhou gritted his teeth. The sound of "Second Uncle" made him feel uncomfortable, so he waved his hand and dismissed him.
The Duke of Guizhou stopped pressuring her, and Huo Xi breathed a sigh of relief. If she didn't show weakness and insisted on confronting the leader of the family, the Duke of Guizhou, the result would not be good.
After returning to the house and sitting there for a long time, I started making various arrangements.
Aunt Jun dares to use rumors to harm the fetus in her belly and wants to separate the relationship between Duke Qian and Mu Yan. She will not let her succeed. If she is not feeling well, Aunt Jun should not think about it.
