Huo Mingzhu held Old Lady Lin's hand. She didn't think that her uncle was confused, with her understanding of Huo Zhengde, if he wanted to get rid of Pingyang Mansion's control and raise his status by leaps and bounds, why would he willingly become Pingyang Mansion's son-in-law and even continue to be the Young Marquis of Pingyang Mansion's father-in-law?

He had two beautiful daughters, and one of them had even caught the attention of the Ninth Prince, causing the story of the Ninth Prince's hero saving the beauty to spread all over the Shang Jing, he had long seen how Baili Zonglv was so attentive to her, how could he not have this idea? It was clear who was more important and who was less foolish when compared to the princess of the house of the Marquis.

Although he could not completely confirm his guess, Huo Mingzhu finally found a way to appease his grandmother. She suggested, "Old Ancestor, don't worry. From now on, I will listen to your orders again. If there really is no other way, then Yun Shan and I can marry each other as long as Pingyang Mansion is able to resolve the crisis. "

Hearing that, Old Lady Lin's head started to ache, she rubbed her forehead and sighed: "A family can't attack together, it's hard to predict what will happen in the world! Sigh! "This old bones of mine is still thinking about grandson's matter all day, it's really too much for me."

"Alright, let's not talk about this, it might cause more trouble for A Jin." Old Lady Lin sighed a few times, then came to her senses and said to Huo Mingzhu: "Come, Little Girl A Jin, help me walk around the garden. At this time in the morning, I'm not too bathing in the sun, but the peonies in the garden are growing extremely well."

"Yes." Huo Mingzhu held onto her grandmother's hand without any objection. When they walked out of the door, Su Lv and Song mama also came over to welcome them.

"Old Ancestor, the young miss has chosen two Cloud Jade for you. It's a new style from the south, but it's fresh and pretty!" Su Lv was also more at ease in Pingyang Mansion than when she was in the general's manor. She liked to say anything she wanted to say.

"Oh?" The Old Lady Lin laughed, "I want to see what A Jin has got in mind. If she doesn't look good, then it must be Su Lv's mouth that has so many legs."

"Heh heh."

Everyone laughed, and Huo Mingzhu also laughed along.

Su Lv was the only one who was unhappy. She glared at Huo Mingzhu, who had mocked her, and bit her lips: "The old ancestor is always working towards the young miss, and yet you are unwilling to listen to us little girls speak. Su Lv does not dare to lie anymore."

"Look at how nimble Su Lv's little mouth is. Even I, an old bones, can't compare to her," Old Lady Lin laughed.

When everyone saw the Old Ancestor smile, how could they not be happy? Even if they couldn't laugh, they could only squeeze out a bit.

The group of people accompanied Old Lady Lin to the garden to admire peonies. Only Huo Mingzhu was absent-minded. Originally, she had wanted to follow the steps from her previous life step by step and only make the first move on the key steps. But now, things had changed for the better and she didn't have the luxury to decide that for herself.

If she hadn't made her plans earlier, waiting for His Majesty to grant her a marriage or for the empress dowager to propose, or for her grandmother to make the decision to marry her, she actually wouldn't have been able to control her own fate.

In the end, it was because her status was too low.

She was the young lady of the general's household, but the name of this young lady could at most allow her to marry a good family without worrying about food or clothing. Then what about her enmity? What about her hatred? How could he resolve it?

If she could not stand in the highest place, there would be a day when he would forget about her. Even her clumsy retaliation would be treated as child's play that would not be able to withstand a single blow.

The peonies in the garden bloomed passionately, and since ancient times, the peonies had been crowned with beauty and glory, seen as the empress's symbol. Huo Mingzhu's gaze slowly converged onto the peonies that were blossoming amidst the blooming peonies.

If she wanted to stand tall, the first thing she needed to do was to be the woman beside the emperor. Once she decided to kill, she wouldn't have to be afraid of anything. In his previous life, Baili Zonglv had brought her into the palace to celebrate for the emperor who was about to die.

If not for the matter of the old Emperor dying, Baili Zonglv would have addressed her as "royal sister-in-law" or "the Empress" instead. As long as he stayed in that position for a day, he would not dare to touch a single hair on her head.

In the end, what was a good thing?

Power, status, money, everything was good. Everything could help her walk to a higher place.

Squatting in front of the peony bush, Huo Mingzhu used the reason of admiring the flower to carefully think of her own plan — — The emperor was a ruler of a kingdom. As a general's daughter, she did not have much of a chance to see the emperor, even if she did see her from afar, she would definitely not be able to attract the emperor's attention.

"Miss, I heard that the Ninth Prince loves these peony flowers the most. His palace has planted many peony gardens, they're so beautiful that even the empress dowager and emperor have gone to admire them." Su Lv didn't know where he got the information from, but a sentence suddenly popped up in his mind.

Huo Mingzhu seemed to have been hit by a stick, her mind immediately became clear, and since the one who started all of this was Baili Zonglv, so what if she started with him?

Didn't Baili Zonglv play with her heart, throw her away, and injure her to death? She also did what he wanted to do to him, letting him experience the sweet warmth of love. Then letting him fall from the clouds in extreme pain, making it so that he would never be able to recover …

There was nothing in the world more pleasant than this. Huo Mingzhu thought.

"Miss, Miss, what are you so foolish for?" Su Lv pulled on Huo Mingzhu's sleeves and asked curiously.

Huo Mingzhu heard Su Lv's question and endured the excitement in her heart. She smiled lightly: "I was thinking that if only I could go to the Ninth Prince's residence and take a look at those peony flowers one day, I really can't imagine how beautiful that garden would be."

After Su Lv heard this, she immediately jumped over and asked softly: "Miss, did you eat the wrong medicine? You actually want to go to Ninth Prince's residence to take a look? "

"You have been talking there the entire time, it would be hard for me to not hear it. Besides, I was surprised to hear that the Ninth Prince is interested in growing flowers." Huo Mingzhu lied.

"Surprise what?" Su Lv asked.

Huo Mingzhu looked straight at the peony flowers, and even touched it lightly with her finger, then laughed: "What kind of person is Ninth Prince? If one were to say that he is an unrivalled wise man in martial arts, and a great general who stands at the top of the earth, yet he likes to waste these flowers and plants, wouldn't that mean that the bottom of his heart is soft and tolerant? "People who love flowers, people who are in the mood to take care of them, won't be too bad."

It was the first time that the Her Miss had such a high evaluation of the Ninth Prince. It was as if she had lost her mind and completely forgot her past awareness. How did it change so much in one night? No, how could there be a night? It was obviously only two hours! Did the Old Ancestor say something to you and speak up for the Ninth Prince? "
