Yan Ruyu was chatting with the eldest lady, discussing the New Year's gift. Huo Changhe couldn't get a word in, so he turned around and saw Huo Changxu appearing in the courtyard, so he got up and went out.

Huo Changxu didn't know the specific situation. He only knew that Yan Ruyu was not in good health. He asked the eldest lady and Huo Changhe, and they both said it didn't matter, just take a rest.

I heard that Yan Ruyu finally came to this yard, so I quickly came over to take a look.

"Brother," Huo Changxu glanced at this side of the room, "How is sister-in-law?"

"Okay, it's okay," Huo Changhe said happily, "I've passed the level."

Huo Changxu's expression changed: "What do you mean?"

Judging by the words and tone, this is no minor illness.

Anyway, everything was fine, Huo Changhe didn't hide anything from him anymore and told the matter.

Huo Changxu's eyes slowly opened wide, and he was filled with anger: "Brother, you... how could you do this! Why didn't you tell me? You know, mother knows, but she only hides it from me, does she treat me as a family member? ?”

"I'm not the only one hiding this from you, Chang Heng doesn't know either."

Huo Changxu: "...I'm not a child, how can it be the same?"

Huo Changhe patted his shoulder lightly: "You and Chang Heng are both my younger brothers. I don't let you know because I'm afraid that you will worry. Chang Heng is fine, but you have a lot of things to do. You support the bookstore and the house. Add more people and it looks like it will work well."

"If I tell you, how can you still have the heart to manage this? Your sister-in-law will not be happy either. She is the strongest. The more people care about her, the more they will pretend as if nothing has happened. It would be better not to know. It will be natural."

"Besides, she has high hopes for you. It is better for you to repay her by doing things well than to be dejected and worried about doing useless work."

Huo Changhe talked a lot and then changed the subject: "By the way, how did the thing I asked you to do go?"

Huo Changxu was deceived and couldn't find Bei. He was confused. He felt that what he said was reasonable, but he had a vague feeling that something was not right.

Before I could think about it, I heard him change the topic again.

"It's done, brother, don't worry."

"I'm going to take a look," Huo Changhe said, the pressure in his heart now relieved, "I can't make a few of them myself, but I can't let you do them all."

Huo Changxu: "..." That's not what you said before.

The two of them went to work, Yan Ruyu accompanied the eldest lady, and the ladies soon came too, laughing constantly.

People's homes on the street are also full of joy, decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, looking forward to the new year.

But the Shen Mansion was lifeless.

Although there were some New Year's arrangements, the servants all tried to keep their steps as light as possible and did not dare to make too much noise, let alone joke.

Everyone knows that Shen Huaixin is in a bad mood these days, as irritable as a cat with fluffy fur, and will explode even without stepping on its tail.

Several servants have been dealt with in the past two days, and two were even beaten to death and their bodies dragged out.

For a moment, everyone in the Shen Mansion was panicked.

Shen Huaixin's injuries were not fully healed, his face was horribly gloomy, but there was an evil fire flowing in his chest.

Everything was unsatisfactory, and everything was hitting his tense nerves.

The current situation was completely different from what he had expected.

Originally expecting Huo Changhe to come, he would trample Huo Changhe under his feet, unleashing years of resentment.

Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to show his strength, but Huo Changhe was not in despair. Instead, he became even more impressive than before. He also suffered defeats one after another.

All of his elite men were lost, their rations were lost, and their banknotes were gone.

There were also warehouses and study rooms, all of which were stolen.

Shen Huaixin was puzzled. Was Huo Changhe exiled? Or did the gods come?

How come you go against him everywhere and still have the upper hand? It brought him endless problems.

Shen Huaixin's fire burned in his stomach, making his internal organs uneasy.

What's even worse is that the military rations have not yet been secured, and the New Year is about to come. Let alone a fat year, it is now difficult to even have a full stomach.

Just as he was feeling anxious, the butler walked in quickly and said, "My lord."

"What are you doing!"

The housekeeper held his breath and stepped forward cautiously: "This is a letter sent by Mr. Cheng."

Since that day, he has not heard from Cheng Cheng, but he has received a letter saying that important matters are being arranged to share his worries.

Finally, another letter came, so I quickly opened it and read it.

While watching, Shen Huaixin's heart was beating fast and he couldn't make up his mind for a moment. But when I saw the last sentence, "This plan can not only solve the food problem, but also lure Huo Changhe into the urn, killing two birds with one stone."

This sentence successfully made him firm up his belief and make an immediate decision, just as Cheng Shu said.

"Where's the messenger?"

"Right outside the door."

"Tell him to do everything according to plan."

"Yes."

The butler retreated and Cheng Shuyi walked to the table.

His study burned down, and this one turned out to be his grandfather's.

There is a sword stand on the table with a sword on it.

It's not a peerless sword, it's the one his grandfather used to behead his enemies.

Shen Huaixin picked up the sword and whispered: "Grandpa, you will definitely support me, right? I must defeat Huo Changhe and restore the reputation of our Shen family!"

Just as he was sighing while holding the sword, the butler came in again and said, "Sir, there is a woman who wants to see you."

"not see."

"Sir, she has been here several times. This time she said she had something important to report to you, saying it was about King Zhennan."

Shen Huaixin looked back: "Let her come in."

The housekeeper agreed, and not long after, a woman was brought in. Her head and face were covered tightly. After entering the house, she took off her hat to reveal her true face.

Shen Huaixin frowned slightly: "Is it you?"

……

Huo Changhe was busy and fulfilled. Looking at the finished product in his hands, he felt very accomplished. He thought that Yan Ruyu would also be happy when she saw it.

Just when I was happy, the secret guard appeared and reported: "Your Majesty, that woman has gone to the Shen family."

The smile on Huo Changhe's face condensed slightly: "She is indeed colluding with Shen Huaixin. Keep an eye on her and don't alarm her yet."

"Yes."

"Is there any news from the Villa?"

"My subordinates are still watching. There is no new news coming back. There are many people coming and going there, but it is certain that Cheng Shuyi has not shown up yet."

"Write down who comes in and out one by one."

"Yes."

The secret guard retreated, Huo Changhe's eyes were slightly cold.

There were footsteps and laughter outside the door. Huo Changheng poked his head in and shouted with a smile: "Brother, mother asked you to come over."

"understood!"

The sun has turned to the west, and Yan Ruyu also went back to the yard, took out some things in the space, and brought them to the eldest lady.

The two met at the entrance of the hospital. Huo Changhe took the thing in her hand: "Are you tired? Are your eyes feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, everything is fine."

As he walked into the yard, the eldest lady came out of the house: "You're just in time. Let's clean up. We are going to Sima's house."

Huo Changhe originally wanted to ask Song Ping to go with him to move things or something, but he couldn't find Song Ping. Suddenly he realized that he hadn't seen Song Ping in the past two days.

Forget it, maybe it's the new year, and the guards can't let up, they are busy deploying.
