Hearing Su Lv's promise, Huo Mingzhu laughed: "Good girl, the only one your family's young miss can believe in is you."

Of course, Su Lv did not understand why she was so worried, and only said: "Anyway, little miss is thinking about it, but it's just to find a good home, and it doesn't matter to anyone, we just have to go find it."

Huo Mingzhu sighed in her heart. Su Lv was Su Lv, she was so innocent that all things in the world complemented one another, and the other one would have to rest. What she was going to do next would definitely hinder others' eyes, and at that time, she would explain things to Su Lv. was really worried that Su Lv would not be able to accept it.

That night, seeing that Huo Mingzhu was packing up the accessories, Su Lv asked in confusion: "Miss, what are you doing? This piece of jewelry was left behind by young miss, she would normally be reluctant to wear it, tomorrow is not a big day, why would you want to take it out? "

Huo Mingzhu held onto the lacquer box, wiping away the dust on it, and laughed: "Tomorrow isn't any big day, I just wanted to go to Uncle's house for a walk, and after thinking about it for a while, I took out the jewelry and took a look."

"Ai, don't be sad, Miss. The Old Ancestor dotes on you and told you that he gave you the dowry and other things for your mother after she passed away. Even if you were to marry in the future, I'm sure you wouldn't dare to underestimate him." Su Lv said.

Su Lv was not wrong, although the people of Shang Jing did want to compete in marrying their daughter, they wanted to, other than being more talented than the young miss, and more importantly, in terms of dowry, if there was a rich young miss, the husband would not dare neglect her, which meant that the young miss was extremely favored by the family, with a strong family supporting her, the husband would have to think twice before doing anything.

Although Huo Mingzhu agreed with what she said, she did not reveal her intentions, and only said: "Tomorrow, I will go to uncle's house, and you will know what your young miss wants to do."

Su Lv was perplexed, but was quickly caught off guard by Huo Mingzhu: "Miss, tell me!"

Huo Mingzhu kept the jewelry and locked it back into the chest. Ignoring Su Lv's anxiety, she laughed and stood up: "I only care about killing you, I want to see if you can't wait for an entire night."

"Miss" Su Lv stomped her feet and pouted.

"Alright, I'll go for a walk in the garden. Tidy up here, I'll rest when I get back." Huo Mingzhu could not hold back his laughter and walked towards the door.

In the past, when he was at Fringe City, he would stay at the military camp, without many family members to accompany him. Huo Mingzhu was used to coming and going by himself, so Su Lv did not feel that there was anything wrong with her taking a walk at home, so he did not follow her.

had been extremely vigilant ever since she died. She didn't dare to guarantee that no one in this general's household would plot against her, and perhaps Lin Ruyi would make people do evil things just because of a slight change in heart. It wasn't impossible for her to fall into the river when she was' accidentally 'while she was taking a stroll.

Huo Mingzhu retreated quickly, but when the black shadow noticed her, it immediately chased after her.

Huo Mingzhu was not sure if she could compete with this person, but she dared not fight recklessly, so she opened her mouth to call for help. The black-clothed man panicked, and threw himself forward, knocking Huo Mingzhu onto the grass and frantically covering her mouth.

Huo Mingzhu opened her eyes wide, she thought to herself that she was done for, and if she was not careful, she would actually be ambushed, the man's inner Qi was not weak, she did not know if she could win. In that critical moment, Huo Mingzhu could not care about anything else. Huo Mingzhu kicked back with his foot, the tip of his foot struck the back of the black figure's head. The black figure felt pain, and her body tilted, but her hand still did not let go of her mouth.

Seeing that Huo Mingzhu was about to attack again, the black figure finally spoke out, "Stop hitting me, I'm not planning to do anything to you!"

It was a man, and it was a familiar deep voice, as if he had heard it somewhere before. Huo Mingzhu then focused on the black shadow above him, he realised that the person was wearing a black cloth, and only revealed two eyes.

Seeing Huo Mingzhu pause, the black figure continued: "You promised me, don't speak, don't hit people, I'll let you go, okay? "Don't pull out your dagger like you did last time."

Huo Mingzhu recognized him now. He was the man whom she caught red-handed in the general's mansion and chased down the entire street, the man who called himself Master Liang at that time.

At the moment, her body was in his hands, so in the end, it was her who was at a disadvantage. If she continued to be stubborn, he only needed to choke her by the throat and he would be able to strangle her.

The black-clothed person did not completely loosen his grip on her. His eyes were still staring at her warily, and the hand covering her mouth slowly lifted.

This kind of slowness and vigilance was indeed not coming for the sake of killing her.

Huo Mingzhu waited until the hand had left her lips before asking in a low voice, "Don't tell me that this time, it was because the Tsing Yi Lane was too far away that you stole something and couldn't escape. That's why you borrowed the Dao of the General's manor."

Her voice was very soft and was indeed very cooperative with the black clothed man. After the black clothed man heard this, he smiled: "If I were to tell you that I came here to see if there is any treasure in the general's estate, but was run into by little miss, would little miss believe me?"

Huo Mingzhu did not listen to his nonsense, and only stared into his eyes and said: "Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter. If you want to steal, how can I stop you? But you'd better get up and let me go. "

The black-clothed man seemed to have discovered that the two of them were maintaining a male and female position, and was a bit unrefined. He hurriedly apologized and moved his long legs away from Huo Mingzhu's leg, completely letting her go.

When Huo Mingzhu stood up, the man immediately put her hand in front of her body to block: "We agreed not to do anything, do not get up and lose face, the most important thing is that the dagger cannot be pulled out anymore, the blade and sword have no eyes, I do not want to see the blood light!"

It was rare to see such a death-fearing Lord Liang.

Huo Mingzhu's entire body was on guard. After living a new life, she would no longer care about any despicable methods, even if she would regret it later. As long as she could subdue the enemy, she did not care about being scolded as a villain. Therefore, she would not act rashly until she had completely seized the initiative.

"Tell the owner to keep quiet and not pull out the sword. What kind of logic is this?" Huo Mingzhu sat up and asked softly with a smile.

That black-clothed man seemed to be on guard against her, moving to the side, about a meter away from her, and said: "Last time, we didn't get to know each other without fighting, so I will be honest with you. After following the girl for a while, I realized that the young lady of the General's Estate didn't want to cause any trouble at all. However, young lady, as you know, if people have some hobbies, it's not easy to stop them. When I went back, I really couldn't let go of the jade. I felt itchy, so I came to the General's Estate to try my luck.

He seemed to be helpless, "Well, we haven't even had the time to make a move, and now we've met you again, young miss. Isn't that a bad fate?"

If Huo Mingzhu didn't believe what he said, how would he know that the warm jade was with Huo Huaiyu? She must have seen it with her own eyes, so she was worried about it.

She sneered: "That's strange, you seem to have your eyes on my General's House, the first time you said you recognized me was because I was too eye-catching on my way back to the capital. This time, you also said that the treasures my sister wore at the temple were too eye-catching. "You must be a gentleman at night, but you still need to walk around the bustling streets in the daytime to find a place to stay?"

Hearing Huo Mingzhu's words, not only did the black-clothed man not deny it, she clapped in agreement. This humble one is indeed stepping on the spot during the day and making my move at night. You know that it is not easy to be this gentleman on the front lines, but once you are caught, your reputation will be ruined! "

The black clothed man could not understand a word, and did not know that Huo Mingzhu was ridiculing him, but he actually treated Huo Mingzhu as one of his own, which made Huo Mingzhu frown.

"So that piece of precious jade is with your sister? When I saw that jade today, I was unable to open my eyes. The man in black chattered on.

Huo Mingzhu remained calm and said: "If I say that the jade is with me, what will you do? You still have to think of all sorts of ways to steal it? "

Hearing that, the black-clothed man was embarrassed, and then he laughed: "If it was you, young miss, how could I dare to offend you? I don't know who gave it to me, but I want to find out what it is. I would like to ask Miss to give me a few pointers! "

The more the black-clothed man spoke, the more outrageous he seemed to think Huo Mingzhu was his acquaintance. Knowing that the jade pendant was on her body, he stopped trying to get familiar with it and instead asked where the jade pendant came from.

"You want to drag me into the water? If you are caught in the future, won't I become your accomplice? "You are such a strange person." Huo Mingzhu spoke the truth.

"Miss Huo, you misunderstand! I feel that we are fated to be together, and fates are fated too, so I'll give you a jade hairpin, it's also a treasure, I heard that young miss just passed the germanium ceremony, that hairpin is for young miss's birthday! If young miss is not willing to tell me where the jade came from, then I can only forget about it. Today, seeing that young miss is with the Ninth Prince, this humble one will go to the Ninth Prince's residence and investigate, maybe there will be an unexpected surprise! " The man in black hurriedly said. His words were reasonable, logical and without any flaws.

When Huo Mingzhu heard that he wanted to go and investigate, she was both angry and amused at the same time: "In the eyes of you gentlemen, what is the relationship between me and that Ninth Prince? When did he give me my things? "

The black-clothed man did not dodge and laughed magnanimously: "Rumors have it that the Miss Huo is likely to become the Ninth Prince's consort. As long as the Miss does not commit any grave mistakes and does not sully her reputation, she will marry into the Ninth Prince's Palace sooner or later! Today, at the temple fair, he saw the young miss and the Ninth Prince happily chatting. Does Miss have any objections? "

When the black clothed man asked his question, he stared straight at Huo Mingzhu, as if he was looking forward to her answer.

Huo Mingzhu was extremely confused, but at the moment, she was in a very bad situation, so she could only reply: "People of the Ninth Prince are like dragons and phoenixes, there are countless women waiting to marry him. Why do you ask? "
