After giving the gift to Huo Zhengfeng, Xu Junjun went to the small Buddhist temple to accompany Mrs. Huo.

Seeing her coming, Mrs. Huo's expression, which had been gloomy all day, finally softened.

"I'm back. Concubine Jiang wants you to go to the Crown Prince's Mansion. Is there anything she wants you to do?"

Xu Junjun sat down next to Mrs. Huo, took the melon seed plate and started to peel it:

"It's all right, Grandmother. Concubine Jiang only asked me to take the Crown Prince's pulse. There's nothing else to do."

Mrs. Huo nodded, thoughtfully:

"Zhengfeng and his wife and Ming'er just returned home last night, and Concubine Jiang sent someone to invite you today. It shows that she values ​​you very much."

Xu Junjun raised her little head and said proudly:

“My grandson’s wife is so smart, of course Concubine Jiang thinks highly of me.

Grandmother, you don’t know that every time I go to the Crown Prince’s Mansion, Concubine Jiang treats me to delicious meals and treats me like a guest of honor.”

In front of Mrs. Huo, Xu Junjun lost her edges and corners, and acted as relaxed as if she was accompanying her own grandparents. She spoke in a playful and cute way, which made Mrs. Huo laugh.

But as she smiled, Mrs. Huo's smile faded and she asked her:

"Last night, will you stay in the study again tomorrow?"

Xu Junjun paused while peeling melon seeds, her face looking embarrassed.

Last night, after dinner, she went back to her room, took a shower, and went to sleep. She had no idea where Huo Qiming's dog was sleeping.

Mrs. Huo automatically interpreted the expression on her face as embarrassment and sighed heavily:

"After all, I'm sorry for you Ming'er.

But don't worry, after the New Year, if he does this again tomorrow, Grandma will find a way to make him consummate his marriage with you!"

Mrs. Huo's decisive words scared Xu Junjun so much that she almost choked on her saliva.

"Grandma, please don't mess around.

My husband may have a grudge against me because of Chen Yue'er. If you interfere, it may backfire.

I'm not in a hurry. I'm willing to wait for my husband to change his mind."

Xu Junjun put down the melon seeds and spoke nonsense with sincere eyes.

She was afraid that Mrs. Huo would get angry and drug Huo Qiming, forcing the two of them to have an affair.

Xu Junjun couldn't stand this vulgar plot at all.

If such a thing really happened, and Huo Qiming dared to force himself on her while he was under the influence of the drug, she would definitely smack him on the head and make him go to meet the ancestors of the Huo family in advance!

Old Madam Huo stared at Xu Junjun for a long time, and seeing that she was really resisting this method, she had to give up.

"All right.

Grandma is old and won't live for many more years, but she still hopes to see you and Ming'er live happily together soon and give her a plump great-grandson.

Xu Junjun didn't dare to respond, and quickly dodged to the right. She held the melon seeds she had just peeled in front of Mrs. Huo, and said attentively:

"Grandma, eat the melon seeds, they are so delicious."

"You."

Mrs. Huo couldn't do anything about her. She glared at her and opened her mouth to eat the melon seeds she fed her.

Today, the Huo family had dinner together as a family.

At the banquet, Mrs. Huo, Huo Zhengfeng and Su Yun showed great affection for Xu Junjun.

Mrs. Huo and Su Yun kept picking up food for Xu Junjun, and Huo Zhengfeng also urged Xu Junjun to eat with a smile. The family was in harmony, which made Huo Qiming, who was sitting opposite, frown and tighten his grip on the chopsticks.

"Grandma, Dad, Mom, please eat faster. My bowl is almost full."

Xu Junjun looked at the three elders in front of her in distress, unable to stand their enthusiasm.

She couldn't understand why Mrs. Huo was fine, but the attitudes of Huo Zhengfeng and Su Yun, her two adoptive parents, changed so quickly after she gave them a gift.

They had dinner together last night, and General Huo and Mrs. Huo were still polite and reserved with her.

But tonight he wanted to pour all his love on her. This enthusiasm came so inexplicably that it really made Xu Junjun tremble with fear. She was afraid that the couple were secretly instigated by Mrs. Huo to match her with Huo Qiming.

As soon as Xu Junjun refused, Madam Huo and Su Yun stopped picking up food for her and said with a smile:

"Okay, okay, eat quickly. These dishes are best eaten while they're hot. They won't taste good if they're cold."

As Mrs. Huo spoke, she picked up a piece of fish for each of Huo Zhengfeng and Su Yun, and urged the couple to eat with a smile.

As for Huo Qiming, he was deliberately ignored by Old Madam Huo.

Seeing this, Huo Qiming was not annoyed. He loosened his tense hands and took a bite of the fish calmly.

After dinner, Huo Qiming was the first to speak and bid farewell to the elders:

"Grandma, Dad, Mom, I've used it well.

There are still things waiting to be dealt with in the courtyard, so I will leave now. Please enjoy your meal."

As soon as Huo Qiming left, the atmosphere at the table became noticeably colder.

Huo Zhengfeng and Su Yun remained unchanged, but Mrs. Huo's face had visibly darkened.

Fearing that innocent people would be affected, Xu Junjun quickly cleaned up the bowl and stood up, saying:

“Grandma, Dad, Mom, I’ve used it too.

Please enjoy your meal. I'll go see if my husband needs any help."

Xu Junjun made up an excuse and quickly fled the scene.

After running out of the yard, she held onto a dry willow tree, patting her chest and breathing heavily.

Fortunately, she ran fast, otherwise she would have to listen to the old lady's nagging again.

"Why, you can't pretend anymore once you come out?"

In the darkness, Huo Qiming's voice suddenly rang out, scaring Xu Junjun, who was still complaining in her heart, so much that she almost slipped.

Xu Junjun quickly hugged the tree trunk to steady her feet. She turned her head and saw Huo Qiming's annoying face gradually becoming clearer along with the sound of footsteps.

Xu Junjun clenched her fists tightly, glanced at him, and then remembered Jiang Wumei's instructions today. She didn't intend to argue with this blind dog, so she turned around and left.

After taking two steps, Xu Junjun felt her wrist tighten. She turned around and saw Huo Qiming staring at her with a hint of anger, questioning:

"Why are you running? Are you feeling guilty?"

As he spoke, Huo Qiming's grip became more and more forceful, causing Xu Junjun's wrist to hurt. His face darkened and he said in a cold voice:

"Let go!"

Huo Qiming didn't move, still staring at her, his sharp eyes seemed to pierce through her flesh and see through her soul.

Xu Junjun was so furious at his crazy behavior that she refused to tolerate him and slapped him in the face.

There was a crisp sound, which startled the maids and servants in the corridor so much that their eyes opened wide and they took a few steps back, fearing that their two masters would discover their presence.

Huo Qiming looked at Xu Junjun in disbelief, gritting his teeth and calling her full name:

"Xu Junjun, are you looking for death?!"

"Yes! I'm looking for death! Could you please, Major General Huo, give me a ride?"

Rubbing the sore palm of his hand, Xu Junjun raised his head towards Huo Qiming with a provocative look on his face:

"Huo Qiming, don't think I don't know what you want to do.

Isn't it just that Chen Yue'er died, and you think it's my fault and want to settle the score with me?

I'm not afraid to tell you, if I wanted to kill her, there are thousands of ways to do it quietly, and you won't be able to find out any of them.

Unfortunately, Chen Yueer's death was entirely her own fault.

She felt that your grandmother had blocked your marriage to her, so she decided to poison her and murder her, and also implicated Concubine Jiang and the two old ladies.

If it weren't for me, the Huo family would have been destroyed by her long ago.

Now, not only are you not grateful to me for saving the Huo family, you even want to throw feces on me. What? Do you think I'm a toilet that can hold all kinds of shit?!"
