Chapter 63
When Chen Jiao's clothes were almost ready, an uninvited guest came to her home, He Mingzhu.
He Mingzhu has always been hostile to Chen Jiao. Chen Jiao felt that the little girl had nothing to say to her, so she said to Pomegranate: "Go and tell her, just say that Ho Ying is in the Zhao family during the day. She wants to find Ho Ying, go there."
Pomegranate went to reply, but after a while he turned back and said, "Girl, Miss He said she wants to see you."
Chen Jiao paused her clothes and looked out the window. She put down the man's robe in her hand and went to the main hall to meet the guests.
He Mingzhu did not sit down and stood waiting for Chen Jiao. When he saw Chen Jiao again, He Mingzhu looked up and down without hesitation. Seeing that Chen Jiao's face was even more rosy than when he was in the He family, He Mingzhu became even more angry. In front of Pomegranate, he taught Chen Jiao accusations: "Ho Ying took you in because he was kind-hearted, but you are a woman, even though you know that rumors are everywhere and still stay by his side, do you have no shame?"
He Mingzhu likes Ho Ying, but Chen Jiao can't stand it even if she has rumors with Ho Ying. After knowing that the two lived together every day, He Mingzhu was even more restless. She asked Uncle Li where Ho Ying's house was countless times, but Uncle Li refused to tell her that He Mingzhu only learned about Ho Ying's residence from the maid yesterday, and today she rushed over.
Chen Jiao didn't quite understand where He Mingzhu's anger came from.
She walked to the main seat calmly and sat down, looked at He Mingzhu and asked, "You are here to teach me a lesson?"
The calmer Chen Jiao was, the more angry He Mingzhu became. In order to hide her heart towards Ho Ying, she said contemptuously: "I'm teaching you a lesson for my father."
Chen Jiao said lightly: "You He family have already driven me out of the house. Now I am not a wife of the He family. Even if I die, I see your father in the dark, and he is just a stranger. He is not qualified to teach me a lesson. What are you?"
He Mingzhu never expected Chen Jiao to mention her deceased father so lightly. She wanted to refute it, but Chen Jiao had indeed received a divorce letter.
His chest was undulating, and He Mingzhu said angrily: "Ho Ying has helped you. If you have a little conscience, you should not continue to drag him down."
Chen Jiao asked curiously: "Whether I drag him down or not, what do you have to do with you?"
He Mingzhu was angry: "You, you..."
Chen Jiao vaguely guessed something and accidentally wasted his lips and tongue with He Mingzhu. Chen Jiao signaled to pomegranate to see him off.
He Mingzhu glared at her eyes and scared Pomegranate away. She said to Chen Jiao coldly: "This is Ho Ying's house, why should you drive me away?"
If she wanted to say this, Chen Jiao had no choice but to stand up and said, "Okay, then you can stay here. I still have something to do, so I won't be with you."
He Mingzhu really sat down.
Chen Jiao was not angry at all and was quite looking forward to how he would treat He Mingzhu when Ho Ying came back.
Although she thought so, when Chen Jiao picked up the needle and thread again, she became distracted uncontrollably.
He Mingzhu is not as beautiful as her, but she is also a beauty. She is also a childhood sweetheart with Ho Ying. In the past, the two had a sibling relationship, but now Ho Ying is no longer the adopted son of the He family, so he and He Mingzhu naturally have no bond. What did Ho Ying think about He Mingzhu so infatuated with Ho Ying?
Chen Jiao bit her lip. She liked Ho Ying, but Ho Ying might not like her former stepmother with her children.
After walking for a while, Chen Jiao lowered her head and sewed the last sleeve bit by bit.
It’s time to prepare a meal at dusk, but He Mingzhu hasn’t left yet.
Ho Ying has been eating outside these days, and Chen Jiao and Lin Ge'er didn't wait for him. Dinner was put on. Chen Jiao looked at He Mingzhu stubbornly outside the door and said with a funny look: "I'll let the maid add a pair of chopsticks to you?"
He Mingzhu didn't move or speak.
The little girl didn't appreciate it, so Chen Jiao ignored her. But Brother Lin asked with concern after eating a few bites of food: "Sister, are you hungry?"
He Mingzhu still ignored it.
Chen Jiao smiled and said to her son: "Sister is not hungry, Brother Lin can eat it yourself."
Brother Lin said "oh", and he concentrated on his meals, and looked at He Mingzhu, not understanding what was happening in the adult world.
After dinner, Chen Jiao coaxed Brother Lin to sleep first. After coaxing him out of the inner room, he suddenly heard He Mingzhu's extremely aggrieved voice coming from the yard: "Brother."
"Why are you here?" That was Ho Ying's voice.
Chen Jiao secretly approached the window, poked a hole and looked out.
Ho Ying and He Mingzhu stood face to face in the middle of the yard. Ho Ying was taller than He Mingzhu, so Chen Jiao could see Ho Ying's face.
"Why are you here?" Ho Ying looked at the room and asked He Mingzhu again, with an unhappy tone.
He Mingzhu looked up at him and said aggrievedly: "Why can she live here? I can't even come?"
Her voice was very high, and she deliberately said it to Chen Jiao. Ho Ying felt irritable and frowned and said, "No, no, let me take you back."
He Mingzhu only brought one maid. It was so late that Ho Ying had to give it away.
He Mingzhu waited here for a day, but why did she be willing to leave easily? Looking around the house, she asked unhappily: "Where do you live?"
"Don't worry, let's go." Ho Ying walked to He Mingzhu and pushed her arm.
He Mingzhu still wanted to cheat, but Ho Ying shouted sternly: "You still think this place is not messy enough, right? If you don't leave, I'll go and invite the He family elders."
He Mingzhu was finally scared, so she turned around and glared hard into the room. She pouted and walked forward.
Ho Ying also glanced at the room before turning around and following He Mingzhu.
Chen Jiao felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at the backs of the two of them leaving together.
She knew Ho Ying had to go and see him off, but the long night road was a man and a woman...
When a man gives away a woman, it sounds like something is easy to happen. Chen Jiao is so worried, He Mingzhu is so expecting, but Ho Ying only feels annoyed.
"Go quickly." Ho Ying couldn't stand He Mingzhu's slow speed anymore, and urged impatiently.
He Mingzhu whispered coquettishly: "I didn't have dinner and didn't have the strength to leave."
Ho Ying had nothing to say, and when He Mingzhu wanted to talk to him, Ho Ying was silent.
He didn't cooperate, so He Mingzhu stayed there and refused to leave.
Ho Ying directly asked He Mingzhu's maid to go back to He's mansion first and asked Uncle Li to pick her up. He Mingzhu did not allow the maid to go, but the maid was even more afraid of Ho Ying and trotted away.
The annoying maid left, and He Mingzhu simply stopped in front of Ho Ying and said sourly: "To be honest, do you like her?"
Ho Ying said calmly: "Don't think about it all."
Tears appeared in He Mingzhu's eyes and she curled her lips and said, "Are I thinking randomly? You know better than me that she is a fox boy. When my father was alive, she was seduced to marry her home. Now that my father is dead, she is here to seduce you again. You men are the same. You always want to marry a dignified and virtuous wife. In fact, they all love her like her in their hearts!"
Ho Ying could no longer listen and turned around and walked back.
He Mingzhu was so angry that she chased him until she couldn't keep up. The distance was getting farther and farther away. He Mingzhu cried and shouted: "Ho Ying, you were raised by my father and my mother. You can't get entangled with her. Are you worthy of my father!"
Ho Ying's steps did not stop at all and quickly turned into an alley next to him.
He Mingzhu squatted on the ground and started crying.
Ho Ying leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.
He stood here until he heard Uncle Li's voice, until Uncle Li took He Mingzhu away, and Huo Yingcai returned in a heavy mood.
Pomegranate helped him open the door. After falling to the tie, Pomegranate looked at the main hall and whispered: "Young master, the girl has been waiting for you." After that, Pomegranate lowered her head and ran away, and went to the servant's room.
Ho Ying looked at the main hall unexpectedly, with a light lit in the room and the door was closed.
She was waiting for him.
Ho Ying subconsciously walked towards the main hall, took a few steps, Ho Ying stopped again, turned around, and then stopped again.
Hesitating, Ho Ying finally got close to the main hall. It was already very late. She had been waiting for so long, and maybe something was important.
Ho Ying gently pushed open the door.
The lights were lit in the main hall, and the lights were dim and there was a kind of peaceable warmth.
Ho Ying's eyes fell on the little woman next to the table. Her arms were placed on the table, facing him with her eyes closed, as if she was dozing off. Under her arms, there seemed to be a piece of clothing pressing on her clothes.
Ho Ying settled in place.
Under the light, she had a beautiful sleeping face, which made people want to feel pity and carry her back to the room.
Ho Ying finally realized the danger.
Chen Jiao was also beautiful in the past, but he never thought she was beautiful, and he would not think of any pity. Why has it changed now?
Zhao Hu's teasing, his embarrassment and He Mingzhu's crying questioning came to his heart.
Are you worthy of your adoptive father?
Ho Ying lowered his eyes and stepped back with his left leg.
"Ho Ying?" A familiar voice suddenly came from the front, very light, like a feather falling into his heart.
Ho Ying raised his eyes.
Chen Jiao looked at him in surprise: "Are you back? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
She was so happy that Ho Ying couldn't bear to let her smile disappear.
"I, I'm going to send Mingzhu." Ho Ying looked away and apologized for He Mingzhu: "She is ignorant, has she made you angry?"
Chen Jiao noticed Ho Ying's name, "You", seems to respect, but in fact she is deliberately setting a distance.
"Fortunately, I didn't say anything." Chen Jiao stood up, picked up the robe on the table and walked towards him, "The clothes are ready, you can try it. I'll change it if there is something wrong."
Ho Ying didn't want to try, didn't dare to try, and didn't dare to continue to accept her good deeds.
"I appreciate the kindness of my wife, but it's not in line with the rules. It's not too early. Let's go and rest quickly." Ho Ying looked at her hands holding her clothes, looking unfamiliar and her voice was also cold.
Chen Jiao's hands shook unconsciously.
Ho Ying clearly acquiesced to her measure the size, why did she suddenly want the robe she made again? Did He Mingzhu say something?
Could it be that Ho Ying really likes He Mingzhu?
Chen Jiao likes Ho Ying, she can take the initiative to treat him well, but if Ho Ying has another lover, Chen Jiao will not force him no matter how much she likes him.
"You, do you like Mingzhu?"
Maybe he went there for too long and she had been waiting for too long, and Chen Jiao felt a little sour in her heart. Now the sour smell is even stronger. She should not guess again and again, just ask clearly.
Ho Ying glanced at her in confusion, then moved away immediately, frowned and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
