"Grandma, we didn't do anything, right? Furthermore, Gu Yi is my wife, the kind that has a marriage certificate. " Huo Yunzheng raised his eyebrows and joked around.
"Bastard!" Seeing Gu Yi secretly tidying up her clothes, she knew that if she had come a little bit later, something would have happened! Aunt Jixiang said that their relationship was very good, and she was not very new to this. However, no matter how good it was, she could not do such a thing in the Cloud Gaze Temple!
How long the history of the Quo’s family is, the history of this Cloud Gaze Temple is already, men and women are not allowed to take place in the Cloud Dew Temple, are the family rules of the Quo’s. This Stinky Kid did not care about the company, but he still dared to make a move in the temple!
The more Old Madem thought about it, the more he felt that this brat was unbridled. He actually smashed down with his rod, heavily hitting Huo Yunzheng's body, causing Gu Yi to be shocked.
She even heard the sound of it. How heavy was this staff!?
There was no time to think anymore. He quickly ran over, afraid that the Old Madem would hit him with the second staff. He pulled Old Madem's hand and pleaded.
"Old Madem, Old Madem, I beg of you, please stop hitting him."
"Don't hit him? Alright, the two of you, kneel in the ancestral hall! I'll leave tomorrow morning! " Old Madam Huo said in a serious tone with a straight face.
"Kneeling in the ancestral hall?" Gu Yi opened her eyes wide in shock.
"What, afraid? Do you really think that my Huo Family's wife is so easy to be? " Old Madem Huo shook Gu Yi off and looked at Huo Yunzheng with his walking stick, his tone filled with ridicule.
Only in this way would it be true.
"Grandmother, it's enough for you to punish me alone. There's no need to bring her along!" Huo Yunzheng could not bear to see Gu Yi being bullied, even if she had to bring up her own grandmother.
He only wanted to protect this little woman with all his heart.
It was not that he had never knelt before the Cloud Dew Temple's ancestral hall, but the last time was when Su Mutong's brother, Su Zexuan, had died for him!
In those few years, the business in Quo’s was not going well. There were people scheming against people everywhere, and not only did they use blades and spears, there were even assassins who were sent to assassinate Huo Yunzheng!
Huo Yunzheng was young and frivolous, with a strong background and powerful Huo Family, he didn't place any importance on his enemies at all. Even though he knew that his life was in danger at any moment, he did not send anyone to protect him. Coincidentally, his carelessness led to Suze Xuan's departure later on.
Su Ze Xuan had been adopted by the Huo Family since he was young and was close to Huo Yunzheng. The two of them had a very deep relationship. After that incident, Huo Yunzheng asked to kneel in the Ancestral Hall to repent Su Ze Xuan's death. He then knelt for three days and three nights without rest. During these three days and nights, not a drop of water or a grain of rice entered his body. If it weren't for the fact that he fainted due to exhaustion, he probably would have continued to kneel down.
"Not her? that's fine too, unless she's not Huo Family's granddaughter-in-law right now! "
"Grandmother, it's best if you don't say such impossible words!" Huo Yunzheng pulled Gu Yi behind him, looking like he was protecting his whole being.
"Grandmother, don't be angry. I'll kneel with him." Gu Yi broke free from the man's hand, stood up from behind Huo Yunzheng, and said with a resolute expression. It was just one night, it was no big deal, since she was responsible for this anyway. If she wasn't indulging herself, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
"No way!" Huo Yunzheng immediately cut her off, how could he let her go along? The conditions there were very harsh, her body was weak, how could she bear it? If something went wrong … so it was out of the question!
"Grandma, I can do it!"
These words again attracted Huo Yunzheng's opposition, and just like that, the two of them started arguing. In the end, the Old Madem was helpless, he simply ordered for the two of them to go to the ancestral hall.
Coincidentally, she could use this opportunity to deepen the relationship between the two of them. However, Gu Yi would have to suffer a bit.
Afraid that Gu Yi felt wronged in his heart, she gave her a glance when she left, and the corner of her mouth seemed to have no trace of a smile on it. In this way, Gu Yi understood clearly in his heart that the Old Madem was making this opportunity for him!
Old Madem did not follow them. Because Huo Yunzheng recognized the ancestral hall, the two of them went directly. Once they arrived, the two monks guarding the door opened it, and Gu Yi took the lead to drag Huo Yunzheng in.
Just as he imagined, the Ancestral Temple was very simple, there was a row of cushions. Huo Yunzheng opened his mouth as if wanting to ask Gu Yi to leave, but was interrupted by the woman, because she was the first to kneel down.
Actually, as long as she could be together with Huo Yunzheng, she would be willing to do anything. Forget about kneeling in the ancestral hall, even if it would be even more harsh on her, she would be willing to share the punishment with him. Because the moment he excused himself in front of Old Madem, Gu Yi had loved him from the bottom of his heart.
"Huo Yunzheng, luckily I have foresight, I brought you along to fill your stomach, quickly thank me." That's right, if she was to kneel in this gloomy and cold ancestral hall while starving, her body probably wouldn't be able to handle it. However, what she was best at was consoling himself, making fun of himself amidst hardships. Even at this time, she could still grin at Huo Yunzheng without a care in the world.
"Silly girl, when you can't take it anymore, say it. Don't force yourself, do you hear me?" Huo Yunzheng also knelt beside her, rubbing her hair and said in pain. If it wasn't for the fact that he could no longer hold himself back, how would he have dragged her along with him.
"I'm fine. Since I promised Grandma, I will keep my promise."
"Silly girl, you seem to be very honest at this moment." Huo Yunzheng was amused by her serious look.
In the ancestral hall, candles were lit, the yellow light flickering as the strong ancient wind curled around the beams.
From time to time, Huo Yunzheng would look at the woman's side profile and his heart would turn soft like spring water. At that moment, he wished that he could be with this woman forever. One year later, ten years later, neither of them would let go of each other's hands. How great it would be if he didn't have to marry Su Mutong …
Enough! Huo Yunzheng! What are you thinking!
Did you forget about the matter with Su Zexuan? He is your best brother, and it was your carelessness that caused him to leave at such a young age, and it was also because of you that Su Mutong's originally beautiful youth became so miserable. What reason do you have to not take responsibility?!
As a man, he would never be able to keep up with his words! If the little women around you can keep their promises, then why can't you do it?
….
The night was neither long nor short. The two of them chatted about the past without saying a word, but a lot of time had passed. Maybe Old Madem let the two children go after they became angered.
In the end, Old Madem still cared for Gu Yi's little body.
When the two of them returned to their room, they immediately fell asleep. Gu Yi hugged clothes, Huo Yunzheng hugged Gu Yi, because he was simply too tired, once he woke up, it was already past the early morning and directly into the morning.
As the company had some matters to settle with Huo Yunzheng, he suggested to bring Gu Yi back, but he rejected them all. Because, hearing that Old Madem had brought Qiqi to the mountain to pick the fruits, she wanted to go too. After all, as a mother, she hadn't been with his baby for days.
However, after Huo Yunzheng said something, she helplessly followed him back obediently.
