"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Zhao Xun couldn't control his good mood.
In fact, it was his father's wish for him to come here this time.
Since he was chosen as his cousin's successor, although his cousin agreed, he did not take any action.
This made both him and his father a little uneasy.
So when he came this time, firstly, he wanted to urge his cousin to recommend him to serve in the Presbyterian Church as soon as possible; secondly, it was also out of his and his father's selfish motives.
In my uncle's hands, I can hold the Zhao family's ancestral property.
He thought that since his cousin would let him inherit the position of the Presbyterian Church, the huge wealth in his cousin's name was destined to be in his hands.
Mrs. Duan and Zhao Zifei, he didn't take them seriously.
He wants his status, and he also wants his uncle's money!
He licked his lips and led his people straight to Zhao's private treasury in high spirits.
Unexpectedly, he was blocked by someone at the door.
"Outsiders are not allowed to trespass. Master Tang, please come back."
The person responsible for guarding the private treasury had long been replaced by a loyal and reliable person.
Although there are all kinds of rumors in the mansion, they understand that this is the top priority of the Zhao mansion, and no one dares to relax.
Zhao Xun pushed the guard without any care.
"Go away, this place belongs to me from now on! If you are wise, please open the door for me."
"I'm sorry, young master, but this place is not open to anyone without the master and madam's orders."
The guard had a straight face, showing no fear or hesitation.
Zhao Xun sneered, obviously losing his patience. With a wave of his hand, he wanted to let the people he brought forcefully break through the door.
At this moment, Fang Rao got the news and arrived in time.
"stop!"
She frowned and walked quickly to the guard.
"Zhao Xun, this is not the Zhao family's main family. It's not your turn to act wild."
In response to her scolding, Zhao Xun just sneered: "So what if he's not from my family? Let me tell you, now that my cousin is dead, I am his heir. Everything here belongs to me!"
Fang Rao was a little worried when he said it, but then he thought that the master was at Gong Ya's place.
With that girl's medical skills, at least the master should be safe now.
In other words, the other party is lying.
Now, I feel more confident.
"Stop talking nonsense and cursing my master! Do you think that by telling such lies to scare us, you can make us lose our minds and let you succeed? You are dreaming!"
When the guards heard the news that the master was dead just now, they were somewhat panicked.
Then Fang Rao's words calmed their hearts.
Yes.
This shameless young master must have deliberately made up lies to deceive them!
Suddenly, everyone seemed to have found their backbone and were united in speaking out.
"You idiots, you've been fooled and you don't even know it!"
Zhao Xun was furious. He stared coldly at these ignorant servants, feeling violent in his heart.
"Since you don't drink wine as a penalty for toasting, I will send you to see your master together!"
The master is dead, and keeping these cheap slaves will only cause more trouble for him.
Fang Rao saw that the guy in front of him had murderous intentions, and immediately clenched his fists.
It's not that she doesn't have the strength to fight, it's just that her hidden strength will eventually be exposed.
But everything here was created by her own hands.
Finally she made up her mind.
Even if she was exposed, she still had to protect everything here.
"There is no need to keep people who are an eyesore."
Zhao Xun glanced at them disdainfully and gave orders to his men.
In an instant, the guards and servants of the Zhao family all understood.
It was a dead end, but they had no choice.
"Zhao Xun, if you retreat now, I can still spare your life."
Fang Rao, who decided to give it a go, no longer concealed it.
In the blink of an eye, she was no longer the inconspicuous woman.
In addition to Mrs. Zhao, she is also the "ghost mother-in-law" who has been able to dominate the ancient clan for many years and is even feared by the Presbyterian Council.
Zhao Xun narrowed his eyes.
What happened to this old woman? Why did it make him feel inexplicably afraid
But greed still triumphed over fear.
So what if this old woman is really weird
The people he brought were all carefully selected by his father.
Everything about my cousin must become his!
"Stop talking nonsense and grab the things!"
Zhao Xun gave an order, and those wolves, tigers, and leopards instantly showed their weapons and killed the unarmed servants of the Zhao family.
Fang Rao also suddenly shouted in surprise.
"Zhao Xun, you are looking for death!"
At the same moment, she slipped a pigeon bomb out of her sleeve, pulled out the tail and threw it into the sky.
With a scream, the flying pigeon bomb exploded in the sky, releasing a dazzling light.
Fang Rao didn't care about anything else and joined everyone in resisting the attacks of Zhao Xun and his men.
But the next moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed out of the air.
"Ahh-"
Several screams rang out, and Fang Rao was stunned for a moment. Immediately, a look of ecstasy appeared on her face.
"Xiao'er!"
Huo Xiao landed gracefully, and the gangsters next to him had been knocked to the ground by him, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Huo Xiao looked around and saw a woman whose voice sounded exactly like his mother's, but with an unfamiliar face.
Then he realized something and nodded to his mother.
When Fang Rao saw his son arriving, his confidence increased even more.
In just a short time, those people hiding in the dark came to help.
The group of people who were clearly at a disadvantage just now were surrounded in the blink of an eye, surrounding Zhao Xun and his people.
"Zhao Xun, why don't you stop?"
Fang Rao barely suppressed his excitement and started to deal with Zhao Xun, the white-eyed wolf.
The latter was also panicked, but more importantly, he was frustrated that his wish could not be achieved.
These troublesome guys!
"How dare you touch me! This family will not let you go. I am the heir chosen by this family. Everything here is-"
He didn't say the word "my" because Huo Xiao had already knocked him unconscious.
The tall and stern man did not speak. He just carried Zhao Xun who fainted and looked around coldly with his black eyes.
The next moment, those people brought by Zhao Xun unconsciously stopped.
They didn't know whether that man dared to kill the young master.
But if something happened to the young master, their lives would definitely be in danger.
Seeing this, Fang Rao quickly asked people to tie these guys up first.
As for Zhao Xun, Huo Xiao did it himself.
Huo Xiao, the former senior bandit, was naturally skilled in tying up hostages.
Casually throwing Zhao Xun aside, Fang Rao couldn't wait to grab his son.
He held his hand and went to a relatively quiet room to inquire with concern.
"Didn't you say it would take a few days to come back? Why are you here now?"
Although the child was older, she still touched Huo Xiao's sleeves uneasily.
"It's so cold today, you don't have to worry about catching cold even if you wear this little clothes. By the way, I made you some cotton clothes and trousers, you can put them on later. I also asked someone to buy you a big cloak, so you must be wearing the same thing." Very suitable..."
His mother's nagging words kept him warmer than cotton-padded clothes.
Huo Xiao responded, and then helped his mother sit on the chair, but he didn't know how to speak.
A wise child is better than his mother.
Mothers always get perfect marks when it comes to interpreting their children's expressions.
"Is there anything we can't say between mother and son?" Fang Rao said softly.
In fact, the reason why Huo Xiao hesitated was because he knew that once he said this, he might reveal the scar hidden in his mother's heart.
Fang Rao guessed a little bit, sighed and said, "Is it about your father?"
Huo Xiao nodded.
"I tracked down those people all the way. Although I couldn't find their lair, I found some clues related to my father."
"Father, he may not be dead."
Fang Rao was shocked, and for a moment, she felt as if her soul had been pulled away.
Even she didn't know it, her eyes were red, she held her son's arm tightly with her hand, and asked with difficulty every word.
"Where is your father?"
She wanted to ask if he was really alive, why didn't he come to her after all these years
Could it be that he thought he had remarried, so he was blaming her
For a moment, Fang Rao felt aggrieved, helpless and terrified.
She was indeed sorry for him and broke their original promise.
But if it weren't for the belief in revenge for the Huo family and the reluctance to let go of the two sons, she would have gone with the ancestors of the Huo family long ago.
Huo Xiao didn't know why his mother was so excited. He was just worried that her too much excitement might be bad for her health.
"I don't know where he is. Even if he is alive, that's my guess. Mom, don't cry yet. No matter where he is, alive or dead, I will find him."
"Okay, okay! Mom, don't cry. Mom is waiting for you to find him. If he is still alive..."
The original excitement has now turned into hesitation.
Huo Xiao saw his mother's face lowered, as if she was sad, and quickly comforted her.
"I think it is more likely that my father is still alive, but don't worry too much, Mom. I will discuss it with Miss Gong later and ask her to help me find him."
"Mom, you don't know, Miss Gong is very powerful. She has a big chamber of commerce under her command, and I heard that she even does business in overseas countries. No matter where the father is, the child will find him!"
In the end, Fang Rao didn't have the heart to express the tangle in his heart.
What should she say
Are you saying that she is a womanly woman, or that although she can't let go of his father, she can't let go of Zhao Yixuan in her heart
Fang Rao has always been a woman with a fiery temperament.
But now, she almost let the two men's unrepentant affection for her torture her to the point of breaking her heart.
But no matter what, Xiao'er is right to go find his father.
Fang Rao gathered himself together and said to Huo Xiao, "Okay, without further ado, leave the matters here to me. Miss Gong is at the village, go and ask her if she can help."
After all, Huo Xiao was more careless and didn't see the entanglement and pain in his mother's eyes, so he hurriedly went to find someone.
Watching the child leave, Fang Rao couldn't help crying silently.
Why, why did God do this to her
