"Uncle, long time no see!"
Just as he was puzzled, a deep male voice suddenly came from behind him.
Immediately afterwards, Huo Lingxuan held the hilt of the knife and walked to the volcano.
He has sharp eyebrows, starry eyes and a gloomy face.
After Ling'er disappeared, she immediately stood on Huoshan's shoulder. At the moment when he was surprised, Huo Lingxuan had already drawn his knife and put it on his neck.
So, we have this scene now.
"Ling Xuan? It's you!"
After seeing Huo Lingxuan, Huoshan looked surprised.
Perhaps he never expected that his nephew, who had always been honest and steady, would one day put a knife to his neck.
But how could it be Ling Xuan
"It turns out that Second Uncle still remembers Lingxuan." Huo Lingxuan said with a blank expression and a slightly sarcastic tone.
It was this second uncle who poisoned my father, seized the position of head of the family, and forced them to be driven to the backyard to suffer hardships.
The person who deliberately harmed their family turned out to be his second uncle!
Oh, how ironic.
If they hadn't met Ling'er, they would probably never know the ugly true face of their second uncle until they died.
"Ling Xuan, what are you talking about? You are my second uncle's nephew, how could my second uncle not remember you?"
As soon as he saw Huo Lingxuan, Huoshan's mind suddenly became clear.
He must be upset about having driven them into the backyard.
His mind was working quickly, and he immediately spoke again: "Ling Xuan, Second Uncle has not been home recently. He just came back tonight, and you put a knife on Second Uncle's neck. What's the reason?"
Oh!
What a great person not to be at home.
Wasn't he at home when Dad was poisoned
Wasn't it his instruction that Second Aunt poisoned him
Not at home
It really is a good excuse to shirk responsibility.
If it was before tonight, he might have been fooled by his sweet words, but now, he didn't believe a word he said!
"You haven't been home recently? Haha... I didn't know that the room of a person who just came back was so messy. The cold food on the table must be from today's lunch."
Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw Ling'er had crossed to the table without me noticing.
A grain of rice was stuck between the white and tender index finger and thumb, which was being gently rubbed.
The rice is already cold. Judging from its hardness, it must have been at noon.
A simple sentence sharply exposed the volcano's lie.
He didn't come back at night at all. He stayed in the house these days.
He is the head of the family and knows everything that happens in the house.
So, he watched helplessly as his elder brother and nephew were bullied and suffered, and he did nothing.
Or maybe, those scary people who went to bully them were instigated by this second uncle.
Thinking of this, Huo Lingxuan's eyes became even colder.
This is his father, the brother who has been protecting him for half his life.
This is their good second uncle!
Huoshan knew that his story had been exposed, and a trace of embarrassment crossed his face.
However, he still said, "Ling Xuan, no matter what, I am still your second uncle. How can you treat your second uncle like this?"
After saying that, he pointed his finger and said, "Also, who is that little girl? Who allowed you to bring a stranger home?"
"It doesn't matter who the Yin family's Su is. What matters is that Su should give up his position."
Ling'er narrowed her dark eyes and spoke in a fluent childish voice.
Generally, there are only two situations in which Ling'er pretends to be cute. The first is to act coquettishly in front of someone she likes. The second is to act in front of someone she wants to trick in order to confuse them.
Judging from the current situation, it is of course the latter.
"What? What are you talking about, little girl? What do you mean by giving up your seat?" Huoshan got annoyed immediately after hearing that, and spoke in a very unfriendly tone.
Damn Huo Lingxuan, if he had known this day would come, he should have cut the root of the problem and killed them all together.
I didn't expect that my kindness at that time would hurt me now.
"What? Don't you know? The Yin family is kind and will kindly explain it to you."
"In order to fight for the position of the head of the family, you poisoned my father, and then drove us to the backyard, often letting Second Aunt and others bully us. Tonight, you even sent someone to assassinate us! Now, shouldn't you pay back what you owe my father?"
Don't get me wrong, these words were not said by Ling'er, but by Huo Lingrong who was outside the door.
After these words, Huo Lingrong strode in.
The baby face was covered with tear marks.
"Ling Rong..."
Looking at this innocent younger brother, Huo Lingxuan shouted with some concern.
"Brother, don't worry, I'm fine." Huo Lingrong stretched out his hand and wiped the tear marks on his face carelessly, his little face full of stubbornness.
Ling'er looked at him and nodded meaningfully.
Presumably, after this incident, Ling Rong will become much more mature.
Human growth requires tempering, so he has to face these things on his own.
"Uncle, swear to heaven that you have never done any of these things. If you dare, my brother and I will kneel down and apologize to you immediately. But, do you dare?"
"I... I... Ling Xuan, Ling Rong, Second Uncle knows he was wrong. For your father's sake, please forgive him."
Huoshan's mind raced and he immediately burst into tears, saying with a look of regret on his face.
"Second uncle will definitely treat you well in the future. Ling Xuan, please forgive Second uncle. Do you want Second uncle to kneel down for you?"
Before he could finish his words, Huoshan suddenly made a move to kneel down.
Huo Lingxuan did not expect that he would suddenly become like this, and his body stiffened for a moment.
After all, this man is his second uncle. If he can sincerely change his ways, he can still be forgiven.
However, in the few seconds that he was stunned, Huoshan's eyes, which were originally filled with guilt, were replaced by cruelty.
The moment he bent down, a hidden weapon flew out from his sleeve and headed straight for Huo Lingxuan's heart.
"Go to hell, you little bastard!" His face was ferocious and his eyes were vicious.
By the time Huo Lingxuan reacted, it was too late to dodge.
"Brother, be careful!"
At that critical moment, Ling'er raised her eyes, picked up the teacup on the table and threw it over.
With a "bang", the teacup and the hidden weapon collided in the air, changing the trajectory of the hidden weapon, which deviated slightly and brushed past Huo Lingrong's arm.
It stabbed straight into the shelf behind him with a "pop" sound, going three feet into the wood.
"Brother, are you okay?" Huo Lingrong immediately stepped forward and supported him. (To be continued)
