Gu Qinghe had only heard of him in her previous life but had never seen him. When she saw him today, he was somewhat different from what she had imagined, but she subconsciously felt that Huo Shibei should look like this.

The unscrupulous man opened his mouth and took the grapes that the girl next to him fed him, waved his hand to let the girl go out, and then he stood up and walked around Gu Qinghe and Shao Wei.

"No wonder you were not happy when so many people urged you to find a wife for Luo Feng. It turns out you like this," he looked at Shao Wei angrily, and suddenly dodged backwards, covering his chest. "Tell me the truth, have you had improper thoughts about me all these years?"

Gu Qinghe: “…”

Shao Wei clenched his cheeks and endured it again and again before he refrained from punching Huo Shibei in the face.

Fortunately, Huo Shibei knew Shao Wei's temper and stopped talking nonsense. He cleared his throat and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Shao Wei narrowed his eyes, "What did you say to Luo Feng yesterday?"

Huo Shibei has a good relationship with Shao Wei. When Luo Feng was still young, Shao Wei led his troops to fight outside and left Luo Feng to Huo Shibei to take care of.

Fortunately, this man still had some sense and did not teach Luo Feng to be like him. Of course, this might also be because Luo Feng himself had a good background.

Nowadays, when Huo Shibei has nothing to do, he will go to see Luo Feng. After this man left the general's mansion yesterday, Luo Feng began to wander around in front of Shao Wei in a daze.

However, when Shao Wei brought Luo Feng over to ask him about it, the boy was hesitant and refused to say anything.

Huo Shibei chuckled, sat down lazily and waved his fan, "What can I say? What can I do? Can I really lead him astray?"

Shao Wei said nothing, but his expression clearly showed that you could have some self-awareness.

"That boy must be envious of others and wants a mother too. Yesterday he wanted me to persuade you to get married as soon as possible and find him a mother."

"Nonsense!" Shao Wei didn't believe it at all. After all, before this, Luo Feng had always been very opposed to the idea of ​​him getting married.

In the past two years, he had made a name for himself on the battlefield and won the appreciation of His Majesty. Naturally, many people sent women to his house with various intentions, but without exception, these people were driven out by Luo Feng crying and making a fuss without him having to do anything.

So everyone knew that if they wanted to get people into Shao Wei's mansion, they had to get past Luo Feng first.

While Luo Feng respected and admired him, he also had a strong possessiveness, so naturally there was no way he would want him to get married.

Just by looking at Shao Wei's expression, Huo Shibei knew what he was thinking and rolled his eyes. "A child's mind changes at any time. He sees other children have mothers, so he will naturally feel envious. What's wrong with that? Maybe he just happened to meet a girl he likes very much recently and thinks she can be his mother."

After saying this, Shao Wei frowned and looked up at Gu Qinghe. Coincidentally, she also looked up and their eyes met.

There was nothing abnormal, but the gaze made him feel inexplicably guilty. He coughed lightly and quickly looked away.

Huo Shibei's eyes were as sharp as lightning, taking in all the little movements of the two people. No one knew what was wrong with this man's brain, but he stood up suddenly as if he had been electrocuted, and walked around the two people again as if he was interrogating a prisoner.

Finally, Youyou said, "There is another possibility."

"what?"

He nodded at Gu Qinghe and looked at Shao Wei, "Do you think it's possible that the boy is afraid that you will bring him another father, so he agreed to let you help him find a mother as a second choice?"

"..."

"..."

This time even Gu Qinghe took a deep breath and sighed in his heart, wondering how on earth did Shao Wei become friends with a crazy person like Huo Shibei?

Shao Wei seemed to be unable to hear Huo Shibei's voice anymore and closed his eyes. "She is here to see you. You guys talk."

After saying that, he walked out quickly, and the door closed with a deafening bang, leaving Huo Shibei no chance to react or refuse.

The two of them were left staring at each other.

"Looking for me?" Huo Shibei looked puzzled. "What do you want to see me for?"

Gu Qinghe should be nervous. Although she calmly told Shao Wei that Huo Shibei would not kill her, she did not know Huo Shibei after all.

There is more hearsay and speculation about this person.

She had an 80% chance that Huo Shibei would not kill her, but if he really had that 20% killing intention, she would have no ability to escape.

But she had no choice. After all, the moment she decided to get to the bottom of the Chen family's injustice, she had already put herself on the edge of a cliff.

If you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces.

This road has been full of dangers from the beginning. Since she has chosen to go on this journey, there is no reason for her to retreat.

"My name is Gu Qinghe. Not long ago, my last name was Chen."

She watched Huo Shibei's expression change. His lazy eyes slowly narrowed, and the fan in his hand stopped fanning. His eyes were fixed on her.

The air around the two of them seemed to be stagnant.

After a long while, Huo Shibei chuckled, and his face returned to its nonchalant look just now, "It turns out to be a girl. I heard that she has been quite popular in the capital recently, so Huo has naturally heard about it."

"I just don't know what you are doing in my Yue Xin Building?"

"Cooperation," Gu Qinghe said word by word, "I will cooperate with Master Huo to find out the truth about the battle that harmed General Huo and my Chen family. My brother is loyal and respectful to General Huo. He should not bear such a crime."

"General Huo was loyal to his country and protected the people for so many years. He should not have died in such a confused way."

Huo Shibei sneered, "What if one day the truth is revealed to you, and I tell you that it was your beloved brother who did all this?"

"If Master Huo can really find out the truth, and if it was really done by my brother, and General Huo was really killed by my brother, I will leave my life to you."

Huo Shibei could no longer maintain his expression. His father's death was like a thorn in his heart. The slightest touch would cause it to bleed and burst with pus.

Of course he knew that things were not that simple, otherwise he would have eliminated Gu Qinghe when he heard that a female doctor had come to the capital a few days ago.

"Cooperation." He whispered and looked at Gu Qinghe, "But if we cooperate, what can you do to help me?"

He never underestimated the girl's abilities, but she had to put some of her chips on the table, otherwise, why would she cooperate?

"A lot," Gu Qinghe said calmly, "Although my medical skills are not as good as my mother's, I should be ranked among the best in Beijing."

She paused and said, "It may be more difficult for women to walk in this world than for men, but this is not necessarily the case for me."

Having said that, she felt that Huo Shibei would definitely understand.

Without mentioning the matter of Aunt Liu from the Yao Mansion, let’s just talk about Ming Xuan. The Ming Mansion is a well-known wealthy businessman, and Ming Xuan’s aunt is a noble concubine in the palace, and she is always favored. This also shows that His Majesty values ​​the Ming Mansion.

Although she was not interested in these things of the Ming family before saving Ming Xuan, why not do something that can kill two birds with one stone?
