Chapter 673 Huo Yuan’s threat (3)
Mrs. Du said that Mrs. Du's mother was detained by Anguo Gong's mansion. If she was still alive, she would definitely hope that her grandmother could leave here and return to her mother. So she turned around and said, "I heard from the mansion. Aunt Mei has been in poor health recently. I wonder if the Duke will allow the younger generation to take her to Bishui Villa to stay for a while. Firstly, it will satisfy Mrs. Mu's filial piety as a daughter. Secondly, Aunt Mei has a daughter and grandson. With my granddaughter by my side, I will definitely recover faster!"
As an old, frail and sickly aunt, he expected that Duke Anguo would not reject him. However, what Huo Yuan did not expect was that before Du Ruhai could speak, Du Yongzhi flatly refused.
"Mr. Huo, please forgive me. Although Aunt Mei is old, she is still a female member of our Anguo family. If we live in someone else's house, our Anguo family's faces will not look good."
Huo Yuan said: "I'm just going to stay here for a while. Once my aunt and grandma are safe, I can send her back. I'm a man of reading and understanding, so why should I stick to these false etiquettes?"
Unexpectedly, Du Yongzhi did not relent: "Please forgive Mr. Huo. According to the rules left by our ancestors, the female relatives in the house must not live in other people's houses to avoid being talked about. We dare not violate the rules of our ancestors, let alone To be an unfilial person who violates the ancestral precepts for the sake of an aunt. "
Seeing that he said it solemnly, Huo Yuan couldn't force it anymore. It was more important to rescue Mu Zhongqing first, so as not to push them into a panic and do something stupid, so he smiled and said: "That's the case , I don’t dare to force it, but Mrs. Mu is not too worried about Aunt Mei’s body, so I will send an imperial doctor to check the liver pulse for Auntie Mei later, and I hope the house can make it convenient for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Yongbang said: "Don't bother Mr. Huo. Our mansion will ask an imperial doctor to nurse the old aunt back to health. If there is anything wrong, Mr. Huo will be informed first."
Du Yongchun also said: "Yes, Mr. Huo, please rest assured!"
After what they said, Huo Yuan felt uneasy. Just now, Du Yongzhi refused to let Mrs. Mei leave the house. He didn't have any doubts. However, he proposed to ask an imperial doctor to treat Mei, but Du Yongzhi refused without hesitation. , this can't help but make me feel a little strange. Logically speaking, Du Yongbang shouldn't have the guts to refuse him? Not only Du Yongbang, but also Du Yongchun dared to reject him. This was so abnormal!
Suddenly, he suddenly remembered the thin coffin he saw when he remembered, and the expression on his face froze.
"My lord, I just want to invite an imperial doctor to come and see my grandma, but the family is trying to push her away. So and so, could it be that something unexpected happened to my grandma, and my family is feeling guilty, so I'm trying to push back in every possible way?"
While he was talking, he kept his eyes fixed on the faces of the Du family masters, not missing a single expression on their faces.
Sure enough, as soon as Huo Yuan finished speaking, the Du Yongzhi brothers became flustered. They drank tea to cover up their uneasiness, lowered their heads to avoid his gaze, or pretended to cough to relieve their nervousness...
After Huo Yuan asked this question, he stood there, waiting for their answer.
…
Silence is tantamount to disguised admission!
In the reception hall of Duke An Guo's Mansion, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the ground. Everyone shut their mouths and lowered their heads. No one came out to deny this!
After a while, there was finally movement in the flower hall.
"She...is dead?"
An Guogong had an expression of disbelief on his face and looked at his son with compassion.
