Chapter 9 - Do What You Want
Yin Xu stood up and brought them to the dining hall, he had already thought of a way to explain later.
“It's a common occurrence, please do not mind it, honorable guests.”
“What are these?” Before Huo Yiloong even sat down, he pointed at the dishes on the table and roared.
“What's wrong?” Yin Xu looked at him innocently and introduced the dishes on the table to him one by one.
Luckily, he had eaten them. Otherwise, it would have been hard to fool them. f(r)eeweb(n)ovel
On the table, other than the rabbit meat that Yin Xu had caught just now, the rest were all wild vegetables, and they were so dry that there was not even the slightest bit of oil in them.
As for the plate of rabbit meat, due to the lack of time, it was still stewed and the whole dish was stewed. The young masters were almost scared off.
“Huo Qi, is this all you gave us? “Can you eat it?” A young man asked with the corners of his mouth twitching, his eyes filled with disdain.
“These are the only things in the house. Everyone, please excuse me.” Yin Xu smiled shyly, “I think it's not bad. This season, there are very few wild herbs, it's not easy to eat them.”
“Don't you grow your own vegetables in this manor?” You don't raise chickens or ducks? ” Some expressed their doubts. If that was really the case, then was the Huo Family Villa still a Villa?
“I did, but last month I was severely injured, so the housekeeper sold them to me for treatment.” Yin Xu replied with embarrassment.
“…” No one was interested to ask why Huo Tian was injured, or how many injuries he had suffered.
“I'm not eating it. How can a human eat something like this?” Huo Yiloong almost flipped the table, holding back the fire he asked: “Have you cleaned the rooms?”
“Eh, didn't the butler tell you?” Yin Xu awkwardly explained: “Don't just look at how big this manor is, it has been a long time since it last was repaired. Many of the rooms are almost collapsed, and only my room and the two servants' room are left, if not … Everyone squeeze together? We can borrow a night at the tenants'. “
“…” Huo Yiloong felt that bringing the First Prince and the others to this villa was the wrong decision. He had only wanted to stay for the night, but how could he have expected it to be like this?
“Bastard!” You dare to let the First Prince sleep on your dirty bed! “
“The weather hasn't been good recently, and the blankets are a little damp. There's no helping it, I don't have any extra blankets at home, and furthermore, I can't let His Highness The Prince sleep in the hall, can I?” Yin Xu muttered softly, his lowered eyes flashed with a trace of malicious intent.
Huo Yiloong hated that he couldn't just slap this idiot out, how could his Huo Family have such a stupid thing to do! Why hadn't she just told him about it in private?
He had gone through great pains to invite the First Prince over, but he did not eat, drink or live here. He had even made Huo Tian, the trash, show his face in front of the First Prince.
Wouldn't this mean that everyone knew that Huo Family had treated Huo Tian unfairly?
The First Prince saw this and waved his hands, signalling to Huo Yiloong to stop talking. He then ordered, “Send someone to the county magistrate to inform them that they will be resting here tonight.
After riding his horse for the whole day, he was already tired. The First Prince had really wasted his energy on the matters of Huo Family and his family.
Moreover, this manor looked rather grand from the outside. After entering, he noticed that it was very dilapidated, so he wouldn't condescend to give Huo Qi face.
“Yes.” A guard obeyed and left.
Yin Xu had just received benefits from the County Magistrate Chen during the day, and he had even boasted about it. Naturally, he would not beat around the bush the County Magistrate Chen now, and so he praised the County Magistrate Chen a bit.
“Let me lead the way. I've been to the county magistrate court a few times, so I know the way.” This was truly a godsend opportunity, and it just so happened to be the right time to put on a brotherly and brotherly act for that surnamed Chen.
If he could stay in the county, then it would be even better. But tonight, he definitely had to get the Huo Family's secret technique!
As the legitimate son, Huo Zhengquan would definitely pass down the most authentic cultivation method in his Huo Family to him.
Huo Yiloong tugged at him, and doubtfully asked: “Why are you going to the county magistrate court? I'm warning you, don't rely on your Huo Family people to act mighty! If this young master finds out, I'll teach you a lesson! “
Yin Xu secretly sneered, you need to have the ability to do whatever you want, how can you do it without looking at his current situation?
He lowered his eyes and replied, “Last winter it snowed heavily, and many houses collapsed in the county. I sold some of the farmland in the manor and took it to the aid of the victims. Thus, I went to the county magistrate to transfer over.”
This was not a lie made up by Yin Xu, but it was true. Originally, Old Housekeeper had wanted to break the reputation of having more money. If Huo Family were to find out, then maybe his opinion of Huo Tian would change.
It was a pity that the money in the end was like floating on water. Not a single ripple could be seen on it, and it even made this year's life a lot more difficult.
“For the Seventh Young Master to think in such a way for the sake of the citizens is truly a great blessing. As expected of the descendants of Huo Family.” It was unknown if the First Prince praised him sincerely or fakely, but he scolded Huo Yiloong neither lightly nor heavily, “Don't scold your little brother too harshly. He is also a kind man.”
Huo Yiloong curled his lips, but did not dare refute him.
