After drinking a cup of warm tea, Huo Xiao felt as if a big stone was finally removed from his heart.
A full fifteen years.
He was burdened with the blood feud of the Huo family and the hopes of countless people. He did not dare to relax for a moment, forcing himself to have no way out.
Fortunately, he had tried his best to do what he should and could do, and he always had a clear conscience whether it was for his companions or the ancestors of the Huo family.
In the rest of his life, he will still do what he should do and find the real enemy of the Huo family, but he is no longer alone, no longer just one person who barely supports everything.
He has relatives and partners, he has people to bear the hardships with him, and he has people to share the joys with him.
Huo Xiao's eyebrows relaxed a lot unconsciously.
He always feels that this New Year is the joy he has never experienced in his more than 20 years of life.
"Stop! I'm crazy! Hahahaha, you are as stupid as Huo Xiao! Give me money, give me money!"
All the emotions were forcibly dispelled by Aunt Fang's burst of wild laughter.
Huo Xiao covered his forehead, feeling really frustrated.
What about the promised mother-child relationship
In terms of love, he might as well like a table of mahjong to please his own mother.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the small courtyard of Zhao Mansion was still in a happy mood.
Fang Mudan's matter was covered up very well, and Bai Jing's people couldn't pry open the corners of the small courtyard no matter how much they inquired. Bai Jing was so angry that he broke his own tea set for no reason.
None of the women and girls nearby dared to speak out to persuade him.
I just feel sorry for those treasures that were broken.
After all, they didn't bring much. If they fell like this, they might have to stick their heads in the water tank and drink directly from it.
"A bunch of useless things! Could it be that her Fang Rao's place is made of iron and steel, and you bastards must be of no use to her!"
She glared at her servants angrily and warned sinisterly: "Don't think that Fang Rao can be proud for much longer! Even Zhao Yixuan will be kicked out sooner or later, she is just a bitch who pretends to be powerful! "
The women and girls around them didn't dare to express their anger.
Ever since she came here, Bai Jing's temper has become more and more irritable day by day, and she will yell at them and kill them if she feels a little unhappy. She is extremely cruel.
But they were really unjustly accused.
Not to mention that they are all slaves of the Zhao family who signed a death contract and bought a virgin, but each of them has a family member who is firmly in Bai Jing's hands.
Even if they had second thoughts about the safety of their families, they would not dare to betray Bai Jing.
What's more, they won't get any benefits from following Bai Jing. Bai Jing and them also have a relationship where both prosper and lose.
But they didn't dare to say anything or defend themselves after being wrongfully accused like this for no reason. They could only hope that Madam would spare them after she lost her temper.
The door was suddenly knocked.
Bai Jing shouted with a bad look: "Get out of here!"
But without thinking about it, Zhao Jue's gentle and respectful voice came from outside: "Madam, my brother is not feeling well. Madam, please go and take a look in person."
When it came to Zhao Xun, Bai Jing felt aggrieved and sad. She shouted angrily: "Your elder brother is not feeling well. You don't know how to go to the doctor? What do you want me to do? I don't have medical skills!"
Outside, Zhao Jue’s attitude still hasn’t changed at all.
It's a little bit difficult.
"I have already sent a doctor to my eldest brother, but he has already made a fuss and beat the doctor out once. I would like to ask my wife to go and have a look, lest my eldest brother get angry and get hurt."
Bai Jing hates these bastards very much.
But when no outsiders are present, they are not allowed to call him mother. They can only call her madam like the servants.
Over the years, Zhao Jue and his mother have suffered more than this in order to survive under Bai Jing's hands.
Bai Jing's face turned even uglier.
But in the end, his concern for his son still prevailed, and after giving those useless idiots a hard look, he opened the door and walked out.
"Madam." Zhao Jue lowered his head. In front of Bai Jing, he was always as humble as a dog.
"Useless thing! You can't even take good care of your brother. I think with your qualifications, you might as well go back and be a slave with your useless mother!"
Over the years, as the only concubine raised in the mansion in Nanyuan, Zhao Jue's life has been worse than that of a pig or a dog.
Since childhood, he and his mother have lived in the fight between Bai Jing and his son.
Others looked at him as a handsome man, but he really wanted to take his biological mother out of the house and live alone.
Unfortunately, neither Bai Jing nor his biological father would allow it.
So he could only rely on others and live on the charity of Bai Jing and his son.
Now, it was obviously her son who made a mistake, but he would only be the one Bai Jing cursed.
Zhao Jue lowered his head and had to apologize: "It's all my fault. Madam, please calm down."
"Hmph! Of course it's your fault, go back to the room and think about your mistakes! You don't have to eat today's meal. You were blinded by lard for no reason, so you don't lose your mind!"
After saying that, Bai Jing left proudly.
Zhao Jue, on the other hand, could only clenched his fists secretly.
That's it again!
When she was young, every time Zhao Xun made a mistake, Bai Jing would blame it on him.
He was not beaten or scolded, but he was punished by not being able to eat. Even in the cold weather, he was driven outside and forced to stand while wearing only single clothes.
He didn't freeze to death because his biological mother and wet nurse took turns using their chests to warm him, which finally allowed him to recover.
However, since then, both the birth mother and the wet nurse have suffered from the root cause of the disease. They will cough up blood when it is cold. Over the past few years, both of them have become sallow and thin.
And all this is thanks to Bai Jing’s mother and son!
Zhao Jue's eyes were deep and dark, and over the years he had gradually become intangible with emotion and anger.
Only when he was touched on what happened back then, his emotions would fluctuate a little, but he soon calmed down.
Now, it's not time yet.
Even if he wants to take revenge on Bai Jing and Zhao Xun, he must choose the right time to make the mother and son fall into the abyss and never be able to stand up again.
Soon, he was the only one left here.
Zhao Jue sighed softly and kept a helpless look, but in fact, he had a panoramic view of all the surrounding situations.
As soon as he turned the corner, he spotted a thin and shrinking figure.
Looking up, an ugly, disfigured face appeared in front of Zhao Jue.
On the left side of the face, from the end of the eyebrow to the edge of the cheek, a wound more than two fingers wide was covered with yellow blisters.
At first glance, it looked like a living ghost, which was really scary.
Zhao Jue didn't like it either.
But he held back his disgust, and pretended to be concerned, and asked softly: "Didn't I tell you to have a good rest in the house? Why did you come out? If the wind blows, what will happen to you?" The wound is not good."
"Can I still be okay like this?" Xianhuan's body was trembling, and his voice was hoarse and sharp, as if he was an evil ghost crawling up from hell, a lonely soul desperate for his life.
"I've already asked the doctor. If I'm lucky, there may only be some scars left in the future, but it won't be a problem." Zhao Jue looked away calmly, but his voice was as gentle as ever.
Xianhuan didn't notice the other party's alienation.
Now, she is completely immersed in hatred towards Zhao Xun and Bai Jing.
She took care of Zhao Xun so wholeheartedly, and even suffered a lot of hardships and grievances for him.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xun was dissatisfied with the excitement outside and scalded her alive with a hot poker!
Her face! All destroyed!
That night, her helpless wailing didn't arouse anyone's sympathy, and she was even slapped dozens of times for disturbing Bai Jing's ears.
If Zhao Jue hadn't interceded for her in the end, she would have been beaten to death!
"Scar? Oh, both Zhao Xun and his mother deserve to die!"
The madness in her eyes was extremely twisted. She tightly grasped Zhao Jue's arms with her skinny hands, and growled through gritted teeth: "I sacrificed everything for him! Now he still wants to kill me, I won't Be willing to do so, or not!”
"Zhao Jue, I know you are a kind person, please help me, help me, okay?"
Zhao Jue's brows furrowed invisibly.
But still patiently, he grabbed Xian Huan's hand with his backhand and comforted him: "Don't worry, the most important thing now is to heal your injury. Big brother can't live without you. He was just in a bad mood before. , that’s why I accidentally hurt you.”
Hearing this, Xian Huan suddenly threw his hand away and laughed maniacally: "Hahahaha, that wolf-hearted, heartless and unjust beast! It was only because I was blind that I thought he was a good man!"
She laughed and cried sadly.
"But it turns out that I really wanted to live with him wholeheartedly! Even though he was disabled and paralyzed, I never disliked him. I didn't expect that he would treat me like this! Now I just want to kill him, this heartless person!"
Xianhuan cried and laughed, and his whole spirit seemed to be abnormal.
Zhao Jue really hates such madmen, but now, the fairy ring has not completely lost its use value.
With a bit of pity on his face, he gently hugged Xian Huan's thin body.
"I know it was my eldest brother's fault and he failed you, but he was also in a bad mood for a moment. You also know that a person like him was born to be a proud man, with a proud heart. Now that he is paralyzed in bed, his temper is inevitably bad. some."
He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the dirt off Xian Huan's face, and also deliberately avoided her wounds. He didn't know whether he was really concerned or because he didn't want to touch the blisters.
"But, no one can take good care of him except you. Xian Huan, you don't know how important you are to my elder brother. He can't live without you."
Zhao Jue said slowly, his voice was soft and soft, and seemed to have a bit of bewitching flavor.
Xian Huan bit his lip and stared at him.
"what do you mean?"
