Chapter 371 Huo Shui
Huo Shui was a household slave of the Huo family. Like Huo Qingyun's personal bodyguard Huo Lin, he was selected by Huo Qingyun from the Huo family and personally brought into the Imperial Guard.
As a member of the Huo family, Huo Shui, like Lin Shan who was killed by Luo Xiaoran himself, has a sense of superiority that regards his family as his own.
Huo Shui was selected from among many female slaves, and she thought she was one in a million. This self-conceit increased her sense of superiority.
Huo Qingyun is not keen on matters between men and women and is still a virgin.
As the only legitimate male in the Huo family's generation, his marriage was a matter of great concern to old lady Huo.
When Huo Shui was chosen, Old Madam Huo was so happy that she couldn't sleep all night. She mistakenly thought that her eldest grandson was interested in Huo Shui, and she had even planned to let Huo Qingyun take Huo Shui into his room!
She will first be a maid in the same room, and then be promoted to a concubine when the mistress of the house comes.
Who would have thought that as soon as this matter was brought up, Huo Shui looked shy and Huo Qingyun looked stunned.
With a cold face, Huo Qingyun repeatedly explained to Old Lady Huo that he chose Huo Shui only for official business and had no personal feelings.
Seeing that her grandson was determined, Mrs. Huo gave up the idea of letting Huo Shui enter Huo Qingyun's room.
On second thought, he felt that his eldest grandson was a truly self-disciplined person, so he privately called Huo Shui over, talked to him for a while, and talked about him a little more, which made Huo Shui very excited.
What Mrs. Huo meant was that for so many years, Huo Qingyun had only had Huo Shui by his side, so she wanted Huo Shui to work harder.
If Huo Qingyun really saw this, Huo Shui would become Huo Qingyun's first woman, and her status would be different from those women he had later on, blah blah blah...
Elderly people always have various ideas such as urging marriage, continuing the family line, being afraid that their descendants don't like women, being afraid that their offspring can't continue, etc. Therefore, it is understandable that Mrs. Huo painted such a big pie for Huo Shui.
But from Huo Shui's perspective, this was pie in the sky, and it was her only chance to change her fate!
Huo Qingyun is the eldest son and grandson of the Huo family, the only male in this generation of the Huo family, and the future head of the Huo family!
If I could become his woman, not only would I enjoy endless wealth and glory for the rest of my life, but I would also be able to rely on a man who is powerful, talented in both civil and military affairs, and handsome!
Therefore, Huo Shui worked hard just as Old Lady Huo expected, and was gradually appreciated by Huo Qingyun. She grew step by step into Huo Qingyun's right-hand man and also became the only woman by Huo Qingyun's side.
But what neither Mrs. Huo nor Huo Shui had expected was that Huo Qingyun had been so busy with official duties that he had never paid much attention to the relationship between men and women!
There was a decent-looking woman like Huo Shui hanging around him all day, but he didn't have the slightest bit of strange thought!
Old Mrs. Huo sighed every day, fearing that their Huo family would be extinct.
Huo Shui's mentality was better than that of Mrs. Huo. After all, she was the only woman around Huo Qingyun. She was like guarding a locked box of treasure.
Although now there is no key, the box cannot be opened and the treasure cannot be taken out.
But she believed that one day, she would find the key to open Huo Qingyun's heart, walk into his heart, and become one with him.
Based on the above background, when Luo Xiaoran and Huo Qingyun's interactions became more and more frequent, Huo Shui sensitively thought that her treasure was being coveted!
She didn't understand how Luo Xiaoran, a village girl, could not only seduce Prince Yan to make the absurd decision to marry her as his concubine, but she could also attract Huo Qingyun, who was not interested in women, to disregard etiquette and stay alone with her in a room!
Okay! You, Luo Xiaoran, are the future Princess of Yan, I can't mess with you, but your maid is just a slave, I can't mess with her either?
Wei Anke didn't know that Huo Shui had always been lurking around Huo Qingyun with an admiring attitude, and that he spoke ill of her and Luo Xiaoran because he was jealous.
She was just suddenly subjected to Huo Shui's malice. She thought that if she took a step back, the world would be clear, but she didn't expect to be met with even greater malice.
If he just said some unpleasant words to her, Wei An would just play dumb and act like a spoiled child because Huo Shui was sent by Huo Qingyun to protect her and his princess.
But now, Huo Shui actually swore at her favorite princess!
Wei An can’t stand this!
"Sister Huo Shui, be careful with your words!
If I remember correctly, it was General Huo who was the first to dismiss his subordinates, and our princess also sent me out to cooperate with him.
In addition, Sister Huo Shui said that our princess would tarnish Commander Huo’s reputation.
If Sister Huo Shui was not blind, she should have witnessed it with her own eyes just now. For some reason, Commander Huo suddenly grabbed our princess' wrist. Our princess has not yet taken Commander Huo's rudeness to heart!
Besides, our Prince Yan has a deep affection for his princess. If you slander my princess, you are questioning his vision in choosing a wife!
I will report this to His Highness later. Be careful or he will dig out your eyes and feed them to the dogs!
After His Highness arrives in Kyoto, he will soon marry the Princess. Husband and wife will be one. If you were disrespectful to the Princess in your words, you were also disrespectful to His Highness the Prince of Yan.
If His Highness finds out, be careful or he will pull out your tongue and feed it to the dog!"
Wei An's eyes were wide open and bulging. He sprayed so much water in one breath, but he still felt unsatisfied.
Huo Shui didn't expect that Wei An, a short girl, could be so sharp-tongued. He was suppressed and speechless for a moment.
When he came back to his senses, a surge of shame and anger instantly spread throughout his body!
Since being selected into the Imperial Guard, Huo Shui had never heard such harsh words. She was so furious!
"How dare you be so rude! Don't forget that I am the one protecting you in the prison!"
This is also the reason why Huo Shui dared to ridicule Wei An without fear. After all, Wei An did not dare to take the initiative to ask Huo Qingyun to replace someone.
What is the reason for the substitution?
Did Wei An dare to say what Huo Shui had just said, "servile and fawning", "flirting", "climbing up", "staying in the same room"... in front of Luo Xiaoran and Huo Qingyun?
After these words were spoken, where did Luo Xiaoran and Huo Qingyun stand?
Even if Wei An dared to take the risk and say all these words, would Huo Qingyun definitely believe it?
I have been with you for many years. How could you trust a maid from an outsider and doubt me?
Seeing the expected embarrassment on Wei An's face, Huo Shui thought confidently.
