Chapter 58 Huo Qiming Returns to Beijing
Huo Qiming, his two sons and their two sons returned to Beijing half a month later than expected.
When they returned to the capital with their troops, the city was still covered with snow.
The whole capital is covered with red walls and green tiles, and the branches of flowers and trees are all covered with white snow, as crystal clear as sculptures.
As night fell and snow fell heavily, a line of servants and masters stood in front of the Huo family's gate.
Xu Junjun supported the eagerly waiting old lady Huo as they stood at the gate, feeling the cold wind piercing their bones and causing them pain.
On such a snowy day, everyone stayed in their rooms drinking tea and eating snacks. Only Mrs. Huo, who loved her son and grandson so much, stood in the cold wind, waiting patiently.
Just when Xu Junjun's feet were almost numb from the cold, the sound of galloping horses came from the end of the street.
Then three figures in military armor came forward, breaking through the wind and snow.
"Mom, the baby is back!"
"Mom, my daughter-in-law is back."
"Grandma, I have lived up to your expectations and will finally return victorious."
The horses neighed, and three dashing figures leaped off their horses and knelt down in front of Mrs. Huo with excited expressions.
Xu Junjun looked closely and saw two people half-kneeling side by side on the left. One of them was calm and solemn, with a face worn by the frost of the weather. Although he was middle-aged, he still showed the charm of his youth.
Although the other person is a woman, she has heroic features and is full of energy. It is obvious that she is open-minded and straightforward. Unlike those noble ladies in the capital who are full of twists and turns, she makes people like her at first sight.
Are these two people Huo Qiming’s parents?
Doesn't he look like the bastard Huo Qiming is looking at right now?
Xu Junjun was secretly complaining in her heart, while Mrs. Huo beside her was so excited that she couldn't control herself and her body was trembling slightly.
Looking at the snowflakes falling on the three people's light armor, Mrs. Huo's eyes were filled with tears. She quickly stepped forward, patted her son and grandson on the shoulders, and said with a sob:
“Okay, okay, okay!
I hope you come back safely!
It's cold outside, let's talk inside."
After helping the three of them up one by one, Mrs. Huo held her son's rough hand tightly, wiped away her tears and smiled.
General Huo and his wife looked at each other, smiled together, and stepped forward, one on each side supporting Madam Huo and the others as they walked into the mansion.
The servant took the three horses away.
Huo Qiming fell behind the three people, his eyebrows were sharp and intimidating, his armor made a slight sound as he walked, and his long legs were revealed.
He turned around with a gloomy look at Xu Junjun who was walking behind him, and after a moment he raised his feet to catch up with Madam Huo and the other two.
Xu Junjun's seat was taken away. Looking at the happy appearance of the Huo family, she rubbed her hands and followed them.
She had been traveling here for so long, but this was the first time she had met Huo Qiming's parents. After Mrs. Huo finished talking to them, she would have to take a good look at them.
It was already late at night, but the Huo Mansion had already been hung with red silk lanterns as arranged by Old Madam Huo. From a distance, it looked like rows of ripe red lions, and it was very festive and lively.
When General Huo and his wife saw it, they immediately felt melancholy.
The couple often lived in the frontier, and the last time they returned home was when Ming Er got married.
Now that they have the emperor's special permission, they can spend the New Year in Beijing and then rush back to the border. General Huo and his wife are very happy.
They can finally stay with their mother for a short while to serve her and fulfill their responsibilities as children and grandchildren.
A group of people walked into Mrs. Huo's courtyard in the snow. When they heard that the three people had just returned from the palace and had not yet had dinner, Mrs. Huo hurriedly said to Xu Junjun at the side:
"Junjun, go ask the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal.
Tonight, we, the two of us, will host a welcome party for them tomorrow."
As soon as Mrs. Huo spoke, General Huo and his wife noticed Xu Junjun standing next to them.
They turned their heads to look and saw that the woman was tall, with bright eyes, a raised corner of her lips, and a lively and bright look, which made the couple, who were used to seeing rough men at the border, brighten their eyes.
Madam Ming'er's temperament is getting better and better.
This spirit and energy is much more dazzling than when she married Ming'er. It is no exaggeration to say that she has been reborn.
The cheerful general's wife let go of Mrs. Huo, grabbed Xu Junjun's cold hand, and said with a smile:
"Junjun, you've taken such good care of the old lady in the capital this year. Thank you for your hard work."
Xu Junjun imitated Jiang Wumei's behavior, stepped forward, saluted General Huo and his wife, and smiled:
"Dad, Mom, being able to take care of grandma in Beijing is my daughter-in-law's duty, and it's not hard at all.
My parents have just returned from the border and have gone to the palace to report. They must be tired and hungry. I will go prepare the meal first and then have a long chat with them later."
After saying this, Xu Junjun felt very sad when she saw the satisfaction in the eyes of General Huo and his wife.
Sure enough, she is still not as good as Niao Niao.
He just said a few polite words and he was about to give up.
Fearing that her true nature would be exposed if she stayed any longer, Xu Junjun turned around and walked quickly out of the yard. The general's wife nodded continuously, and was very satisfied with her considerate and polite daughter-in-law.
On the other side, Huo Qiming looked at Xu Junjun's hurried steps, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and a sneer appeared on his lips.
A hypocritical woman!
Seeing the disdain in Huo Qiming's eyes, Mrs. Huo, who was talking to General Huo, frowned.
"Tomorrow."
The old lady called out, and when Huo Qiming's expression changed and he came forward, the old lady asked him:
"Do you know about Chen Yue'er's situation?"
Huo Qiming clenched his fists and his heart ached.
"Grandma, I know."
As early as ten days ago, General Huo and his wife were afraid that he would not be able to handle the commotion when he returned to Beijing, so they gave Huo Qiming the letter written by Old Lady Huo to them.
After reading every word in the letter, even though Huo Qiming's eyes were bleeding and his heart was in so much pain that he couldn't control himself, he had no choice but to accept this cruel fact.
However, even though the evidence was conclusive and Chen Yue'er's death was a foregone conclusion, Huo Qiming still had the firm intention of returning to Beijing to re-investigate.
Deep down in his heart, he still couldn't believe that his weak cousin would do such a thing to harm the Huo family.
There must be a hidden secret!
The person he suspected the most was naturally Xu Junjun!
If Xu Junjun is really involved in this matter, no matter how his grandmother and parents try to stop him, he will definitely kill her and avenge Yue'er!
As if she understood Huo Qiming's thoughts, the old lady sat down in the chair, slammed the table with a bang, pointed at him and said sternly:
“Now that you know this, you must understand that this matter has nothing to do with Junjun.
This time, if Junjun hadn't been there to negotiate for the Huo family, when you came back, all you would see would be a handful of my old woman's ashes!
If you feel that your grandmother has wronged Chen Yue'er, you can go and check it out.
But one thing is for sure, if you dare to harm Junjun, don't blame me for breaking your legs!"
Huo Zhengfeng and his wife: ...
Huo Qiming: (-i_-)
Jiang Wumei had already heard about Huo Qiming and his son returning to Beijing.
However, she was not worried at all that the Huo family would make things difficult for Xu Junjun.
First, there is the protective old lady Huo.
The second is General Huo Zhengfeng of the Huo family, who has always been strict with himself and does not allow any trouble to occur in the Huo Mansion.
As long as he stayed in the capital, Huo Qiming would not dare to attack Xu Junjun.
However, to be on the safe side, Jiang Wumei still plans to personally support her best friend.
Therefore, the day after Huo Qiming and the other two returned to Beijing, Jiang Wumei sent Qingzhi to visit the general's mansion in person.
