Chapter 935 The stepmother of the gloomy villain (5)
When Shi Jiang walked in, Huo Jingzhou looked him up and down several times.
Sure enough, it was just as he remembered, with red lips and white teeth. At such a young age, one could tell that he was very handsome.
If he grows up, takes good care of himself, and no longer looks like someone owes him hundreds of millions, he should be able to attract all the women in the capital to throw money at him when he goes out!
I shook my head and got these thoughts out of my mind. After all, there are still important things to do now!
So, while waiting for Huo Jingzhou to look at her and ask the reason, Shi Jiang suddenly covered his face and burst into tears.
"Master Hou, there is nothing I can do about it! Your second brother and third brother have both stepped on the face of our Jinghai Marquis Mansion. If I continue to endure like this, then the Jinghai Marquis Mansion and the Crown Prince will be in trouble in the future.
I don’t know who will take my seat! Now, Lord Marquis, you have just gone, and they dare to come to us like this and force us orphans and widowed mothers. Jing’er, Lord Marquis has gone, and mother is the only one who can rely on you.
ah!"
Shi Jiang covered his face, secretly took out a small piece of ginger from the mustard seed space, and rubbed it at the corner of his eyes.
When I went, Shi Jiang felt his eyes sting, and Xun's tears couldn't be held back any longer, and they started to flow.
Feeling tears streaming down her face, Jiang's crying became louder.
However, her loud crying did not prevent her from clearly explaining Huo Gang and Huo Ren's little thoughts.
The entire mourning hall was shocked by Shi Jiang's sudden move.
Especially when she actually cried for the Marquis and called him an orphan and a widower?
It was as if the prince came out of her belly. Thinking of the madam's indifferent attitude towards the prince, everyone felt like they were in a dream.
Of course, these people include the prince Huo Jingzhou.
When Jing'er shouted out from Shi Jiang's mouth, all the hairs on his back stood up.
His eyes were full of words. If he hadn't been able to hold it back, Huo Jingzhou would have wanted to ask Shi Jiang, are you crazy?
Just as Huo Jingzhou couldn't say anything and looked at Shi Jiang who was covering her face and crying, he saw that she was only crying, but he didn't put down his hands and looked at her face. He thought to himself, is the other party pretending to cry?
Not only Huo Jingzhou thought so, but other people in the mourning hall, including Huo Gang and his group, also thought so.
Then, Shi Jiang suddenly put down the hand covering his face, his face was filled with tears, and he said through gritted teeth.
"No, we can't let it go like this! The Marquis served the country loyally and died on the battlefield. He did not let the Marquis bleed, but also made the orphans and widows in our Jinghai Marquis Mansion shed tears. I want to see the emperor and beg the emperor.
Give Jinghaihou Mansion justice."
Shi Jiang's words not only shocked the servants and servants, Huo Jingzhou was also shocked.
I originally thought she was pretending to cry, but I didn't expect to cry so miserably, as if she had been wronged so much.
It seems that they were really mean-spirited just now!
However, when Huo Gang and Huo Ren heard that Shi Jiang said that they were going to see the emperor to seek justice, their expressions suddenly changed. They couldn't help but twist their bodies and desperately cried out for help to their nephew Huo Jingzhou.
They came here originally to fish in troubled waters, and then slowly control the Jinghaihou Mansion. Then, because Huo Jingzhou was still young and unable to take charge of the overall situation, they wrote a letter asking the emperor to inherit the Jinghaihou Mansion.
Presumably the emperor would not refuse to agree to Huo Wei's sacrifice for his country.
After all, they just had to insist that it was for their nephew's good, slowly raise Huo Jingzhou to death, and then find a way to write a letter to deprive him of his position as the heir apparent.
When Huo Jingzhou grows up and his reputation becomes bad, the emperor will probably not remember who he is!
If you can get the title, that's the best.
But if the title cannot be obtained, then Huo Jingzhou must not be able to obtain it.
Otherwise, how could they occupy these properties in Jinghaihou's mansion?
However, when they whine like this, who can understand what they mean?
Not to mention, Huo Jingzhou didn't even glance at them from the corner of his eye.
Because, after Shi Jiang said those words, he strode forward, grabbed Huo Jingzhou's hand, and rushed out of the door.
The maid and the servants immediately looked at each other, wondering what the lady was going to sing.
But when Huo Gang and Huo Ren thought about what Shi Jiang said just now, their hearts sank and their livers and gallbladders split.
Just as they thought, Shi Jiang held Huo Jingzhou with one hand, covered half of his face with the other, sobbed and cried, begging the emperor to make the decision and ran towards the imperial city.
Huo Jingzhou, who was pulled by Shi Jiang and kept running forward, felt messy in the wind.
Who is he? Where is he? What is he going to do?
Moreover, although the stepmother is not the daughter of a big family, she is also the daughter of an official family. When did she have so much strength?
Huo Jingzhou found that his steps couldn't keep up with his stepmother's running speed.
He wanted to break away from his stepmother's hand, but for some reason, he couldn't break free.
The residence of Marquis Jinghai was not very far from the imperial city. In addition, Shi Jiang's behavior of pulling Huo Jingzhou to run had already attracted the attention of passers-by and the adults who had just left the court.
Shi Jiang didn't go out much, so passers-by and adults didn't know her very well.
But the Huo Jingzhou she held in her hand was known to adults, not to mention passers-by.
After all, Huo Wei's only legitimate son, Jinghai Hou Shizi, who had a reputation for intelligence since childhood, was someone else's child. How could they not know someone they would definitely mention when they spanked and educated their own children?
The emperor has been working hard these days!
He did not expect that Huo Wei, who was in his prime, would be shot by a stray arrow, and then the wound would become infected and he would die!
Huo Wei originally pacified Xirong and signed an armistice treaty with Xirong, making Xirong promise to pay tribute every year.
But who would have thought that Huo Wei was shot by a stray arrow just after he had negotiated and signed the treaty and left the camp.
All the people from Xirong who came to sign the contract have been captured.
But they refused to admit that it was them who fired the cold arrow, and expressed their willingness to pay an additional 30% of the annual coins as tribute as compensation for Marquis Jinghai's injury.
At the beginning, there was chaos all over the border. However, Huo Wei was not injured in an important position, and he did not die immediately.
So, when Xirong said they wanted to add 30% of the annual coins, Huo Wei did not refuse, but nodded in agreement!
However, who would have thought that in just one month, Huo Wei's wounds would suddenly become serious, and then he would die, and the peace talks would suddenly come to a standstill.
The emperor also wanted to destroy Xirong and avenge Huo Wei.
However, Huo Wei finally defeated Xirong and was willing to negotiate peace.
If war breaks out again, it will be the common people who suffer.
Moreover, there are too many places in the imperial court that need money. How can there be so much money for soldiers at the border to fight wars?
