Huo Mansion.
Yin Mingzhu had just co back not long ago when she received a call from Yin Zhao.
He asked her to co back.
He said he had bought an apartnt in Yangcheng and wanted her to move in with him.
Yin Mingzhu held the phone and cried uncontrollably. She softly called, "Brother!"
On the other end, Yin Zhao was also feeling distressed.
Yin Mingzhu cried intermittently, saying yes, saying she wanted to return to her brother’s side.
They set a ti and place for Yin Zhao to pick her up.
...
After hanging up, Yin Mingzhu wiped her tears.
Her heart was filled with joy: she was going ho.
She began to pack her things, having accumulated considerable wealth during her half-year at the Huo Family, plus she initially had a sizable amount.
Yin Mingzhu packed her small suitcase, preparing to leave early the next morning.
Tonight, the old man went out to indulge; she could sleep peacefully...
Outside the window.
Lu’er tiptoed, secretly peeking in.
After seeing clearly, she sneaked back to the second courtyard, panting as she told Chen Xishan: "Young madam, the new concubine is packing her luggage; she might be planning to escape."
Chen Xishan fiddled with the tea cup, asking in detail: "Where’s the old man?"
Lu’er blushed: "You know the old man’s nature, he’s always out hunting for fun every other day, surely out enjoying himself."
Chen Xishan stood up, laughing coldly.
She said: "Ever since I lost to Su Ruanruan, my status at ho has declined greatly! Now this new concubine is presented to to build my prestige!"
Lu’er suggested: "If you catch her when she tries to run, the old man will definitely appreciate you."
Chen Xishan took a sip of tea.
She smiled: "I am the Huo Family’s daughter-in-law; sharing the old man’s burdens is my duty."
Lu’er slightly pursed her lips secretly, not daring to correct.
Chen Xishan hesitated for a mont and realized it too. She glared at Lu’er, her voice turning harsh: "Don’t be fooled by the seemingly blissful lives of that deceitful couple; that wretch has yet to earn the old man’s approval! Besides, everything at ho is under my control now. I run the gold shop and Huo’s bank."
Lu’er promptly flattered her.
At dawn.
Yin Mingzhu quietly got up, carrying her small suitcase out the door.
So servants saw her, and she simply said she was going out to have fun.
Heading to the main courtyard, she was stopped by the housekeeper.
Chen Xishan sat at the stone table, slowly drinking tea, and softly asked: "Where is concubine going so early? Carrying a suitcase, could it be to elope with a man?"
Yin Mingzhu sneered: "Bullshit! I’m clean, not like you secretly associating with Huo Yu."
Chen Xishan hated it the most when people talked about this.
She ordered the housekeeper to slap Yin Mingzhu.
Yin Mingzhu scread: "How dare you..." and before finishing, a handprint appeared on her white tender face.
Chen Xishan’s face was ruthless.
She said: "Hit her!"
In an instant, Yin Mingzhu’s face was struck dozens of tis... miserably.
At this mont, the old Huo man returned.
He didn’t co back alone; he had a young and beautiful seductress in his arms, and upon seeing the situation in the courtyard, he asked what’s going on.
Chen Xishan softly said: "The new concubine is not virtuous; she packed her valuables intending to elope with a man."
The old Huo man looked at Yin Mingzhu.
Yin Mingzhu naturally denied: "I didn’t! My brother ca over; I want to go stay with him for a few days."
She spoke the truth, and the old Huo man believed her.
However, he realized this woman’s heart was no longer in this ho.
He spent money on her, and she wanted to take the money and run? Such a good deal doesn’t exist!
The old Huo man slapped her.
He said: "Wretch! I held a banquet with you, yet you can’t behave?"
