Chen Jinjun frowned: "I always feel that things are not that simple."
"The incident happened in Chaiyang. The county magistrate is probably too busy these days to take care of Yongzhou." Huo Tingyu pulled the bench to bring himself closer to Chen Jinjun.
Chen Jinjun nodded and looked at Huo Tingyu: "It's getting late, is it possible that the commander wants to spend the night at my place?"
Huo Tingyu held his chin and asked Chen Jinjun: "Is it okay?"
Chen Jinjun heard the expectation in Huo Tingyu's tone, and hurriedly retreated, widening the distance between himself and Huo Tingyu, pretending to be embarrassed: "This... is not good, I am just a widow, how can I...
"
"Stop talking," Huo Tingyu smiled helplessly, stood up and walked out, "I'll just leave."
He turned back to look at Chen Jinjun and sighed quietly.
Chen Jinjun tilted his head and looked at Huo Tingyu: "Commander, are you afraid?"
With provocation in her eyes, Huo Tingyu stretched out his hand and flicked Chen Jinjun's forehead: "With no name and no status, how can I dare to do anything to my employer?"
When he said this, he lowered his eyelashes slightly, and Chen Jinjun actually saw a trace of pity in his eyes.
She quickly waved her hand to Huo Tingyu: "Be careful on the road, Marshal."
Huo Tingyu shook his head helplessly, stepped forward and hugged Chen Jinjun, took a deep breath of the fragrance emanating from Chen Jinjun, and then turned around and went out.
Chen Jinjun stayed where he was, his nose filled with Huo Tingyu's smell, and the hand he was writing became dull.
She quickly shook her head to drive those charming thoughts out of her mind.
Huo Tingyu walked past Chen Jinjun's courtyard door, let out a long sigh, and walked towards his own courtyard without noticing at all the second lady of the Huo family standing on the other side of the road.
The second lady was also very curious. It was so late. Why did Huo Tingyu come out of Chen Jinjun's yard? If she saw it right just now, Huo Tingyu was actually smiling?
This is really evil.
The second lady hurriedly asked her maid: "What's going on with Huo Tingyu and Jin Jun?"
The maid looked gossipy: "You don't know something about this."
Then, the maid told the second lady that Chen Jinjun and Huo Tingyu were conspiring against each other because of the rumors in the newspapers.
After hearing this, the two ladies were extremely angry.
"Okay, Huo Tingyu, why are all the girls I sent here these days being kicked out? It turns out they are attracted to Chen Jinjun?"
The Second Madam has always cultivated her moral character, but now she is so angry that her face is red.
"Huo Tingyu is already twenty-six years old. He was six years old when he beat Chen Jinjun. Where is his face?"
The maid looked at the second lady's rare vitality and couldn't help but smile secretly.
Ever since the Second Young Master left, the Second Madam has not shown such an energetic side for a long time.
For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, so she could only quickly reassure the second lady: "Whether it's true or not, can you ask in person tomorrow? It's getting late now, so you should go back and rest."
The second lady glanced at Chen Jinjun's courtyard door, frowned and returned to her courtyard.
Early the next morning, the second lady arrived at Chen Jinjun's yard.
Before Chen Jinjun fully opened her eyes, she was pulled up by her maid to get up and wash herself. Then she realized that the second lady was here.
She greeted the second lady with a smile, and the second lady also smiled and asked her to sit down.
Somehow, looking at the kind face of the second lady, Chen Jinjun felt inexplicably nervous.
She asked the second lady tentatively: "What's the matter with you coming to my place so early in the morning?"
Chen Jinjun blinked his eyes cautiously.
Seeing Chen Jinjun's charming appearance, the second lady sighed in her heart. She didn't blame Huo Tingyu for being attracted to Chen Jinjun.
However, the second lady was still determined to question Huo Tingyu.
As soon as Chen Jinjun finished asking, he saw the second lady looking at the courtyard door with a pale face.
She quickly followed the second lady's line of sight and saw Huo Tingyu stepping into the courtyard gate and walking this way.
With a proud face, Huo Tingyu walked into the room and paused when he saw the second lady sitting on the main seat.
No, it was obviously the guards in Chen Jinjun's courtyard who came to call him over, so why was the second lady also there?
He hesitated for a moment, and then heard the second lady say quietly: "Why, seeing that I am here, does it affect you Huo Tingyu?"
Huo Tingyu was completely stunned at this time. He neither advanced nor retreated. He stood there blankly, looking at the second lady and Chen Jinjun, trying to figure out the meaning of what the second lady just said.
The second lady said angrily: "Sit down, Marshal Huo."
She called Huo Tingyu "Shuai Huo" and deliberately lengthened these three words. Huo Tingyu felt frightened and sat down quickly, asking Chen Jinjun with his eyes.
Chen Jinjun didn't know what kind of medicine the second lady bought in the gourd, and looked at Huo Tingyu blankly.
Just as the two people were communicating between their eyebrows, the second lady snorted coldly from the side.
Chen Jinjun pursed his lips: "Do you have something to say?"
I saw the second lady taking out a newspaper from her sleeve and placing it on the round table in front of her.
Chen Jinjun and Huo Tingyu both looked at the newspaper. It was an article about "Rumors Come True".
"This..." Chen Jinjun frowned. She didn't know how. No matter how she said it, she should be regarded as the second wife's daughter-in-law. It was inappropriate for her to say anything about this kind of thing.
Huo Tingyu glanced at it and then looked up at the second lady: "Can you still take the things in the newspaper seriously?"
The second lady was about to say something when she saw Huo Tingyu frowning seriously: "This is just what Jiang Lu asked the newspaper to write in order to spread rumors about me and the Chen Dong family."
After saying that, Huo Tingyu couldn't help but straighten his back, and looked at the second lady with a proud look in his eyes.
But the second lady snorted coldly and picked up the newspaper on the table: "I had already guessed that you would be so quibbling. Tell me, where were you at Haishi last night?"
Huo Tingyu began to think about last night, but the second lady interrupted Huo Tingyu: "You were still in this yard at that time, and you were still smiling when you came out. Why are you so happy?"
The second lady couldn't help but pat the table.
Chen Jinjun and Huo Tingyu looked at each other and separated as soon as they touched each other.
She didn't dare to hit the second lady's gun at this time. No matter what she said, she was still an outsider.
Huo Tingyu coughed twice and cleared his throat: "What exactly do you want to say?"
He looked straight at the second lady, who was stunned and unable to speak.
It took her a long time to organize her words: "Did you know that Chen Jinjun is your nominal sister-in-law?"
"Isn't there no worship?" Huo Tingyu said nonchalantly.
The second lady's eyes widened. In her opinion, Huo Tingyu valued clan and ethics more than she did. At this moment, Huo Tingyu said that Chen Jinjun and Huo Pingyan did not worship, which meant that he was telling himself that Huo Tingyu had the right to pursue Chen Jinjun.
