Since the butler had said so, Hua Qianyu didn't know what to say.
"Okay then. But if anything happens to father, Uncle Wang, you must come and inform me immediately." As he said that, he took off the warm jade bracelet on his wrist and put it in the hand of the housekeeper.
What does it mean? It's beyond words. You understand, I understand, and everyone understands.
The butler naturally understood, so he did not delay and accepted it calmly.
This is how you deal with people. If you stay in this complex world for a long time, you will become more and more sophisticated.
Faced with these rewards that require sacrifice, it is always impossible to refuse.
Although sometimes, collecting it will bring disaster, but if you don’t collect it, the disaster will probably come faster.
The housekeeper is a smart man. His edges have long been smoothed out by the world and he knows what is best for himself.
Seeing that the butler accepted it, Hua Qianyu looked back every few steps and left reluctantly.
After confirming that the second young lady had gone far away, the butler placed the warm jade bracelet in his arms and clapped his hands.
A masked man in black suddenly appeared in the yard which was originally deserted.
He put his ear to the butler's mouth, the butler muttered a few words, and then the man in black disappeared into the night.
In a remote courtyard of the Hua family, weeds grew everywhere outside the courtyard, and the brick walls had collapsed due to years of disrepair. The original vermilion pillars had also lost their outer skin due to the passage of time.
The vermilion gate was painted with all kinds of paint. Above the gate hung a tattered plaque with the words "Hanjiangyuan" vaguely visible.
A light breeze blew by, and with a sound of "climbing the tower", the plaque, which was already shaky, fell straight down.
The people in the yard probably heard the noise outside and opened the door to look outside.
It was already night, and the light was not very good. Fortunately, the eyesight of spiritual practitioners was better than that of ordinary people.
"Qianshu is fine, it's just that the wind blew the plaque down. Father will hang it up tomorrow morning."
With a creak, the dilapidated door was closed again, and Hua Bian Nian turned back the way he came.
Hanjiang Courtyard was originally a cold courtyard used to imprison concubines and maids who had committed crimes. However, later, because the second branch was not doing well, they were driven to live in this courtyard.
The yard is not very big, and a bluestone path leads directly to the main house. Flowers, plants and trees were originally planted on both sides of the path, but now they have become small vegetable plots.
The second branch of the family had few connections, and the only child was a sickly child. In addition, the head of the family seemed to dislike Hua Bionian and deliberately ignored them, so one could imagine their situation in the mansion.
At the beginning, at least they still had monthly wages and the benefits they deserved. But as time went on, those slaves who flattered the powerful and bullied the weak no longer cared about them.
The monthly salary became less and less, and even the meals delivered daily had to be confiscated.
Hua Biao was strong and healthy, so it was no problem, but his son couldn't stand it. His body was not good to begin with, and he needed to supplement his nutrition. How could he eat things that even pigs wouldn't eat
So there was no choice but Huabingnian had to turn the messy and unsightly flowers and plants into a vegetable garden.
If the slaves were not given good food, they would be self-sufficient.
This kind of self-reliance is also time-limited, only during the warm season.
In winter, when the weather is freezing cold, Huabingnian can only go out to do hard labor to earn money.
Although they had also lived a life of luxury, they did not complain when faced with the sudden changes.
I don’t know how many years this kind of day has passed.
He even almost forgot that he was once the owner of this house.
With dark skin and thick calluses, he looks contented in the night.
For Hua Bian Nian now, as long as his son is still by his side, everything is enough.
After a few steps, he arrived in front of the house. Hearing a cough from inside the house, Hua Bian Nian's face froze and he immediately pushed the door open and walked in.
The door of the house is very old and makes a creaking sound when it is opened.
"Qianshu, are you okay? Why are you coughing again?" Since returning from Sunset Forest last time, Qianshu has been in much better health than before.
Thinking of this, the pair of purple eyes appeared in Hua Biannian’s mind.
I don’t know how they are doing now.
Seeing his father pushing the door open with a nervous look, Hua Qianshu immediately forced a smile and said, "Father, it's okay. He just choked while drinking water. Don't be so nervous. My son's condition has improved a lot, and he will get better and better in the future."
Although he said this, every time he saw his father's weathered face and rough hands, he couldn't help feeling sad.
It was all his fault that he dragged his father down.
If it weren't for his poor health, the second branch wouldn't have fallen into such a state. His mother wouldn't have died of illness from overwork...
But he knew that no matter how much he regretted it, he couldn't show it in front of his father, because it would only cause trouble to his father and would not have any effect.
Although he has been bedridden for many years, he has never given up on himself. He is always smiling and always looks optimistic.
He is his father's only support and source of strength, so no matter how much life tortures him, he will face it with a smile, just for his father.
This is also the only thing he can do for his father so far.
Seeing the smile on Qianshu's face, Hua Bian Nian lost his previous panic. He walked to his side, took the water cup from him and placed it on the small wooden table beside him, then reached out to his back and massaged him.
"Father, it's not a problem anymore. Please don't always treat me like a child."
"You know you're not a child, but you can still choke when drinking water. You know you're not in good health, but you should pay more attention to it."
Obviously, they were just trivial matters, but when he spoke to Hua Qianshu, he always spoke with great sincerity.
"Qian Shu knows, I will pay attention to it next time. Father, did anything happen in the inner courtyard today?" Although he was in poor health, his hearing was very good. He could hear a pin drop within a hundred meters.
He vaguely heard something about an assassin, and it seemed that the head of the family was injured.
Oh!
Even someone as powerful as the master of the family could get hurt.
He really wanted to know who had injured him.
He sighed heavily and gradually stopped what he was doing. His brows, which had just relaxed, now gathered together again.
Hua Biao Nian is a straightforward person who can't hide anything in his heart. You can usually tell what he is thinking from his face.
As soon as I saw my father's expression, I knew that something serious must have happened this time.
Even though the head of the family treated them so cruelly, my father still worried about the eldest wife.
Why…
"I happened to pass by today and heard it. Your uncle was injured and thrown back to the backyard."
Uncle
hehe.
Is that person really worthy of me calling him uncle
But he didn't want to make his father unhappy, so he could only go along with what his father said.
"My uncle has a high level of cultivation. There should be very few people in Yunhai City who can injure him. He injured the head of the Hua family, but instead of hiding it, he blatantly threw him back! It seems that the opponent's strength is not weaker than that of the Hua family."
Otherwise, how dare you provoke me so blatantly
"Oh, yes. That's why I'm worried that the Hua family might be in big trouble this time."
"Father, you don't have to worry too much. Uncle is so powerful, even if he encounters a powerful enemy, he will surely have a way to deal with it. Besides, hasn't he already been connected to the Jun family a long time ago?" According to Hua Yingnian's personality, if he really encountered any trouble, he would definitely not be afraid of implicating others, but would drag others into the water without hesitation.
"Besides, given our current situation, we don't have the conditions to worry about others."
That’s right, to Hua Qianshu, Hua Yingnian is just someone else, an outsider, even worse than an outsider, but an enemy!
Hua Biannian also heard his anger, but he just sighed to himself and didn't say anything.
Because he knew the suffering that Qianshu had endured, it was reasonable for him to complain to the head of the family.
But after all, I am the master's brother.
"Okay Qianshu, it's getting late, you should go to bed early."
Watching his son fall asleep, Hua Bingnian blew out the candle and lay down.
In the silent night, moonlight seeped in through the crack in the door, casting a narrow shape on the concrete floor.
Is there a rustling sound coming from outside? I think it's the wind blowing the old window paper.
Although the paper-pasted windows were patched layer by layer, there were still gaps.
Hua Bingnian lay with his back to Hua Qianshu. After frowning for a long time, he gradually fell asleep.
Hearing his father's light snoring, Hua Qianshu, who was originally sleeping with his eyes closed, woke up.
Thinking about what my father said today, the corners of my mouth slowly rose, revealing a smile that was completely different from usual.
Finally, this day has come.
It seems he has waited too long...
On the other side, after the shadow guard sent by the housekeeper left the Hua family, a figure gradually appeared in the corner.
Looking at the direction where the shadow guard left, Hua Qianyu subconsciously clenched her pair of white and tender hands.
Humph, I went to visit my father, but was stopped by the housekeeper.
But as soon as she left, her father's personal guard headed towards Qingyun Mountain.
hehe.
Something like the third sister went out for fun.
It was basically my father who sent someone to take my third sister to Qingyun Mountain for training.
Why
They are all legitimate daughters, why do the eldest sister and the third sister always rank ahead of me!
Now that her eldest sister is dead, she thought her father would pay attention to her.
But I never thought that the third sister would be the only one favored.
Something happened to my father, but he didn't tell me a single word. Instead, he sent someone to inform my third sister who was thousands of miles away!
Why! Why!
She was really angry. If her third sister died, would her father turn his attention to her
If the third sister died, then the Jun family's marriage would fall on her.
If the third sister died, then Brother Jun Qing would become her husband.
Her heart began to thump at the thought of that gentle man.
She also liked Brother Jun Qing very much, but she was not satisfied as to why her father gave this marriage to her third sister.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and the more unbalanced I felt.
No, all of that should have been hers, her father's love, brother Jun Qing's tenderness, the title of the most talented woman, all of that should have been hers.
That's right, as long as the third sister dies and disappears like the eldest sister, everything will return to normal.
Thinking about it, she took out a black jade token, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. After a moment, she turned around, and her slender body gradually disappeared into the night...
The wind seemed to be getting stronger, blowing away the tiny dots of light and bringing in gloomy clouds, covering the only light in the night.
A dark shadow left from above the Hua family, shuttled through the darkness, and finally, leaped into the high walls of the Imperial Palace.
Hua Qianrou, who was supposed to be training with the elders in Qingyun Mountain, immediately returned the same way after receiving the news that the head of the family was seriously injured.
Although I don’t know the specific situation, the person who can hurt my father must be a force that can rival the Hua family.
Moreover, the letter my father sent this time was an urgent letter.
Everyone in the Hua family knows that the expedited order will only be used when a major accident occurs.
I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy. It seems that the Hua family is really in big trouble this time.
Thinking of this, Hua Qianrou wrote a handwritten letter and ordered the shadow guard to take her handwritten letter to the Jun family to inform her fiancé Jun Qing to come and help.
She really didn't want to trouble Jun Qing unless it was absolutely necessary. She didn't want Jun Qing to feel that her feelings for him were not pure.
But this time, the uneasiness was too strong...
