Chapter 7 Mutual suspicion

Huo Changhe looked at Yan Ruyu thoughtfully.

 According to the accountant, Yan Ruyu once went to the accountant and knocked him unconscious with a knife.

 Moreover, the imperial guards who ransacked the house didn't steal anything, let alone money.

 Could it be that Yan Ruyu took the silver?

 No, no, the palace has a lot of money, and Yan Ruyu is a woman...

 He turned his eyes to Yan Song, who was at the front of the team.

 The sun had set, and it was dark. Yan Song sat in the shadows, a blur of shadows, unable to see clearly.

 Could it be that Yan Ruyu and Yan Song joined forces?

 On second thought, it wasn't quite right. It was impossible for the money to leave the house quietly, and it was impossible for Yan Song to lead a team to ransack the house and operate in secret.

 Huo Changhe muttered: "Change the plan and follow the team. Jin Collar, you go and do it."

 "Yes."

 While he was talking, Yan Ruyu had already forced Ruan Xianzao to apologize, and the second young master also came back with some food. , just like words of comfort.

 Huo Changhe's eyes were slightly cold, and he turned to look at the woods not far away.

 The second young master brought back a bowl of bland broth, turbid in color, with a few pieces of fat floating in it. It was already a little cold and had a fishy smell.

 They had never eaten anything like this before, but they were hungry and had nothing else to eat.

 He greeted the eldest lady, Huo Changheng and Ruan Xianzao, but did not mention Yan Ruyu.

 The second wife came over and said, "Hey, broth, does this cost a lot of money? Sister-in-law, it seems that you still have the ability to bring in money. You won't be hungry without your natal family to give you."

 "Second aunt, my mother doesn't have her natal family, but she does. "My son," the second young master said coldly, "I will take care of my mother and brother, so I won't worry about you."

 "Okay, I won't worry about it. When will it be my turn to worry about the Huo family?

 " Sister-in-law, second nephew, if you have broth, should you honor the old man first? He doesn't have any soup to drink."

 The eldest lady lowered her eyes and said, "I see you just ate dry food, and we are still hungry, and Heng'er is still young. ..."

 "Heng'er is still young, how much can he eat? Besides, he is behind when eating good food! How can he argue with the old man?" As

 soon as the second lady finished speaking, Yan Ruyu shouted to the old man who was leaning against the tree and pretending to be deaf. Said: "Uncle! Your daughter-in-law is cursing you to death!"

 The second lady's eyes widened: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I say that?"

 "What you just said was that we, Heng'er, were behind when we were eating good food. You shouldn't argue with your husband. Doesn't that mean that your husband is about to die and he won't be able to survive for a few days?"

 The old man opened his eyes with a bad look in his eyes: "Shut up!"

 The second lady became angry ! , he shook the baggage in his hand, and several chubby buns rolled out.

 "Hey, what is this?" Yan Ruyu said loudly, "Baozi, Second Madam, you have so many buns! Uncle, are you full?"

 The Second Madam hurriedly picked it up in a panic: "No, that's all I have. Two..."

 Seeing the people from the second room surrounding them, Yan Ruyu sneered, turned around and walked towards the woods.

 She doesn't want to drink fishy broth.

 When I went to the grove, I saw no one around, so I sat down against the tree and my consciousness entered the space.

 She couldn't wait too long, so she took a few bites and took out two meat buns and a live chicken.

 Just as she was about to walk back, she suddenly heard movement not far away. She was holding a chicken in one hand and a dagger in the other. Like an agile leopard, she jumped out instantly.

 The sword flashed, illuminating the person opposite.

 "It's you." Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly, "What are you doing here?"

 Huo Changhe's face showed just the right amount of shock and fear, and he raised the rabbit in his hand.

 Yan Ruyu confiscated the knife: "Who are you?"

 "I am the accountant's nephew."

 "Nephew? Are you not from the Huo family? You didn't run away when you saw the exile, but you joined us?" "

 My parents died young, and my uncle is the same as my father. As I get older, I can't leave him alone. I originally planned to go out and have a career. My man has ambitions everywhere. It's the same wherever he goes. I can make a living in the northwest. "

 Yan Ruyu pursed her lips and said nothing, her eyes passing over the dead rabbit - a small hole was pierced in the neck, which was fatal.

 The man in front of him was bare-handed and without weapons.

 "What's your name?"

 Huo Changhe smiled: "I..."

 "Oh, I remembered. I remember my mother said that the accountant seemed to have a nephew named Bajie."

 Huo Changhe: "..."

 "Yes. You?" Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, her eyes scrutinizing.

 "No," Huo Changhe said calmly, "I am his brother."

 Yan Ruyu nodded slightly: "Okay, you go."

 "What about you?"

 "Let me see if there is anything else."

 Huo Changhe left, Yan Ruyu's eyes darkened. When it cooled down, I looked carefully at the grass on the ground. Following the traces of being stepped on, I quickly found a small patch of blood.

 There was also a branch stained with blood.

 Yan Ruyu twisted the branch and turned her head to look in the direction Huo Changhe left.

 Huo Changhe's smile disappeared without a trace when he turned around. Although he was shocked, he had to admit that the first moment his eyes met Yan Ruyu's, he saw murderous intent.

 It seems that the reason why the Yan family temporarily changed their daughters to marry into the palace was not just because they were afraid of being implicated.

 Yan Ruyu said nothing and returned to the resting place with the chicken.

 Huo Changheng whispered: "Sister-in-law, where have you been? Mother left soup for you."

 No, there was still a little soup and a piece of fat in the bowl.

 Mrs. Huo was a little embarrassed: "I've wronged you."

 Newlyweds usually get up early in the morning and don't eat much all day long. Yan Ruyu must be the same, but now...

 "It's okay," Yan Ruyu said as she was about to Bringing the bowl over, Ruan Xianzao tilted his head with his hands on his hands.

 The little maid went to help her but accidentally kicked over the soup bowl.

 The only mouthful of soup left was gone.

 Mrs. Huo's face changed slightly, and Ruan Xianzao's face turned pale, and she said eagerly: "Oh, how can this be good?"

 The second young master frowned: "It's just a mouthful of soup. It's not of much use anyway. I don't think she wants to drink it either. "

 Besides, I didn't want to take her place when I changed. If my mother hadn't requested it, I wouldn't have kept it for her."

 "Second cousin, stop talking. It's all my fault..."

 "No." If you say this again, Mrs. Huo's face darkened, "We are all members of the same family. Why are you always saying such hurtful things?

 If your elder brother were here, he wouldn't agree."

 "

 That's okay," Yan Ruyu said. She said slowly, "My things don't belong to you either."

 She took the chicken in front of her, stared at the second young master and Ruan Xianzao's master and servant in front of them, and broke the chicken's neck.

 Ruan Xianzao's face turned pale, this time he was really pale.

 "Heng'er, I'll roast a chicken for you."

 Huo Changheng's big eyes flashed: "Sister-in-law, can you still roast a chicken?"

 "Of course, only a handsome young man will exchange food for food."

 Yan Ruyu held a dagger . He skillfully cleans up the chicken and cuts it with a knife, making the people around him get goosebumps.

 They are all noble people. They only know that chicken is delicious, but they have never seen it treated like this.

 Huo Changhe handed the rabbits over to his men to put them away. He originally planned to secretly give some to his mother and younger brother, but there was no need for them now.

 "Keep an eye on her and see what she wants to do."

 "Yes."

 Yan Ruyu hurriedly cooked the chicken before turning off the heat, and took out the meat buns to grill.

 "Mother, Heng'er, one for each of you."

 "Sister-in-law, you are so awesome!" Huo Changheng swallowed, "But I'll leave it to you to eat. You didn't drink the soup just now."

 "I took advantage of this while I was on the street. If you don't want to buy it," Yan Ruyu pushed the buns to him, "Eat it, you won't be hungry as long as I'm here."

 After that, he started to share the chicken.

 Ruan Xianzao's maid said: "Leave this kind of work to me, I can do it too."

 As soon as she stretched out her hand, something flew towards her and hit her in the mouth.

 There was a "pop" sound.
