Chapter 423
Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing the heart
Author: Wen Jiutao
Qingqian Villa.
The warm winter sun is shining warmly on the villa, and everything seems to be covered with a layer of gold. The flowers on both sides of the road are smiling slightly in the morning breeze, so brilliant.
However, Huo Shiyu was restless and couldn't sleep all night. She stood at the door of the courtyard waiting before dawn. She sent these twelve killers to kill Jiuli last night. She didn't know what happened now.
Not one of them came back.
While waiting, she unexpectedly saw Aunt Chun and her mother driving a carriage out. She didn't need to step forward, but looked at the rented carriage and her outfit. Having known her mother for so many years, Huo Shi
Yu concluded that he was traveling far away, as if he had something important to do.
She wanted to hide, but it was too late, so she just stood there without moving. Even when Madam Hou and their carriage drove over, she did not move. She just turned her back.
.
She didn't turn around until the carriage disappeared from her sight.
None of the twelve killers she sent out came back. Normally, no matter whether they succeeded or not, someone would always go up the mountain to tell her the news, right?
She knew Jiuli's martial arts, otherwise she wouldn't have let them put cartilage powder in front of her door. If she hadn't been poisoned, it wouldn't have been easy even for twelve people to kill her.
Since you are so powerful, don't blame her for using dirty tricks.
If these twelve people were all killed by Jiuli, it would be okay. What if there were still survivors? Someone insisted that it was her? Even if the father did not doubt it, what about the mother?
What would the other people in the house think of her?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had to go back to Xianxia Village. She wanted to see with her own eyes how embarrassed this country girl was in front of her. If they couldn't, she and the many guards would have to get rid of her.
She immediately ordered someone to prepare a carriage and took a dozen guards with her to run towards Xianxia Village.
Huo Jiang returned home at this time. Huo Shiyu's carriage came towards him. He stopped and waited for Huo Shiyu's carriage to approach.
"Miss, it seems that the master has returned home." Someone reported the news to Shiyu from a distance.
Huo Shiyu smiled, opened the curtain, looked at Huo Jiang who was riding a horse, raised his foot to get off the carriage and saluted. Huo Jiang quickly stopped and said, "Shi'er, where are you going?"
"Dad, my mother ordered someone to drive the rented carriage down the mountain today. My daughter wanted to go down the mountain to protect her mother, so she followed her from a distance."
Huo Jiang was startled for a moment, then looked at the servants walking around and said, "Isn't Madam at home?"
"Madam went out very early this morning. We don't know exactly where she went." The boys were trembling with fright, and after speaking, they turned around and ran away.
Huo Jiang didn't have any extra thoughts and waved directly to Huo Shiyu, indicating that she could go out. Huo Shiyu and his party walked out of the gate of Qingqian Villa in a mighty manner.
Huo Jiang looked at the group of people leaving with great relief, and said to Jiang Hai behind him, "How is it? This girl still cares about her mother, right? When she knew that Madam was going down the mountain, because she was worried, she hurriedly took people to follow her from a distance.
Can that girl from the mountain do this?"
This was Jiuli again, and Jiang Hai didn't say a single unnecessary word. Or maybe he didn't bother to discuss this topic with Huo Jiang.
But he clearly felt something unnatural in Huo Shiyu's words and expression just now, so he said, "Sir, you know people but don't know their faces."
Huo Jiang glared at him and said angrily, "Get off the mountain!"
