Suddenly, a voice interrupted the two of them.
Lin Mengya immediately apologized to Huo Xiao and left with the person.
At this moment, Huo Xiao's heart was filled with bitterness.
He was really muddle-headed just now.
How could he think that he could replace her lover just because he resembled her?
He rubbed his forehead. It seemed that he had been under too much pressure recently, causing his imagination to run wild.
However, just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Aunt Lan, who had returned.
"Young Master, Miss Lan wants to see you alone."
He still had some impression of Aunt Lan. He knew that she was one of his mother's people, so he followed her.
They met in a secluded forest.
Fang Rao had changed her clothes.
Apart from her slightly red and swollen eyes, he could no longer tell that she was the infatuated woman who had wanted to die for her lover.
Her hair was tied up in a high bun and decorated with precious gemstones.
Huo Xiao's expression was a little unnatural.
Fortunately, Fang Rao was still as loving and gentle to him as before.
"Xiao 'er, I'm leaving."
She smiled at Huo Xiao and unconsciously revealed a hint of sadness in her voice.
Huo Xiao nodded.
"Then I wish you a safe journey."
He did not show any reluctance to part with her. He treated her as if she was just an ordinary friend.
Fang Rao felt a little guilty, but she had to leave for a reason.
"I know you must still blame me, but Xiao 'er, I only care about you."
Huo Xiao chose to remain silent.
Fang Rao could not help but sigh.
She knew her child the best. Every time she left in a hurry, Xiao 'er would keep his mouth shut like this. He did not even look at her silent protest.
She reached out and touched Huo Xiao's cheek.
"I never wanted to leave you, but Xiao 'er, I have to protect what your father left for you."
"My father left it for you?" Huo Xiao could not help but ask in surprise.
Fang Rao nodded and looked at her child with relief.
Huo Xiao and her child had finally grown up.
"Back then, your grandfather wanted to revitalize the Fang family and sold my marriage at the highest price. As for your father and grandfather, they used the Huo family's inheritance to marry me. Who would have thought that it was just a conspiracy? "
Fang Rao's face turned cold at the mention of her family.
She was acquainted with Huo lang first, originally it was only out of courtesy, she did not do anything that crossed the line.
She didn't expect her father to do so many shameful things after seeing that there were benefits to be gained.
In the end, in order to marry her, Huo Lang could only give up everything he had.
She had thought that she would be able to marry Huo Lang smoothly, but who knew that this was all a trap set by the Fang family to seize the Huo family's assets!
Now that she knew that the Huo family had been annihilated, she could more or less guess the truth of what had happened in the past.
She must take revenge for this!
"The Huo family still has ancestral property?"
Huo Xiao didn't care about that.
After he was rescued by Uncle Liu, he relied on selling the Huo family's wealth to recruit soldiers and buy horses. He was able to gain a foothold among the mountain bandits.
However, Uncle Liu did not mention anything about the ancestral property.
"Of course!"
At the mention of this matter, Fang Rao was filled with pride.
"Back then, the Huo Family's reputation and status were extraordinary. Even the Fang Family of the past could not compare to them."
"But."
Her expression suddenly became extremely serious.
"I once heard from your maternal grandfather that he wasn't the only one who wanted to deal with the Huo family back then. There were even more powerful people behind him. Xiao 'er, I don't care about life and death. I don't care about worldly possessions either. I just hope that you can live well. If you don't want those things, I will destroy them after I take revenge. Then, I will go live with you outside. "
Fang Rao had already expressed her attitude to her son.
However, Huo Xiao couldn't come back to his senses for a while.
In fact, he hadn't even thought about what Fang Rao said.
However, the Huo family's annihilation was obviously related to these things.
When he thought about the determination in his mother's voice, he couldn't help but worry.
"It's better if you don't go back. I will take back what belongs to the Huo family. You should be well and don't take risks."
"Xiao 'er, don't worry."
Hearing her son's concern, Fang Rao felt her whole body filled with energy.
"After all these years, I'm no longer the person I used to be. I have the ability to protect you in these aboriginals. Don't worry, I will be careful. "
If she hadn't secretly developed a lot of power, she probably wouldn't have been able to help her son this time.
When she thought about this, she became even more determined.
She gently tidied up Huo Xiao's clothes. She was also reluctant to part with her son.
"You have to take good care of yourself. Oh yes, do you like that Miss Gong?"
Huo Xiao was stunned. He immediately denied it with an unnatural expression. "What nonsense are you talking about? Miss Gong and I are just friends."
"Friends? Back then, I also thought that your father was my confidant. Didn't we have you later? "
Fang Rao teased him out of goodwill. However, she still grabbed his hand and said earnestly, "I like that girl too. She's pretty and she's amazing. I also heard that her medical skills are superb. That's really rare. If you like her, you should hurry up and don't let others beat you to it. "
A mother's son is always like a mother's.
Huo Xiao's reaction allowed Fang Rao, as his mother, to immediately see through her son's intentions.
However, Huo Xiao said regretfully, "You don't have a chance anymore. The man you handed over to a few days ago is her husband. Alright, you still have to protect yourself when you go back. I will send someone to contact you. If there's anything you need help with, just let me know. "
Fang Rao was also a little surprised.
However, thinking about it, it would be strange for such a good girl to be single.
Fortunately, her son was also very outstanding. He wouldn't have to worry about not being able to find a wife in the future.
She agreed to all of his requests contentedly.
If Aunt Lan hadn't come over to urge her a few times, Fang Rao would probably have chatted with him until the next morning.
"Xiao 'er!"
Fang Rao held back her tears and tried her best to smile at him.
"When this matter is settled, can you bring me to see your father?"
Her attitude was very humble.
Huo Xiao felt his eyes sting inexplicably.
"Okay."
Fang Rao revealed a surprised smile, which slowly widened.
Huo Xiao returned to the camp with mixed feelings.
However, as soon as he entered the camp, he saw Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu packing their things.
Frowning, he went to look for them.
Inside the tent, Lin Mengya and Qinghu were methodically arranging her herbs.
"Miss Gong, are you leaving now?"
Lin Mengya looked up and saw Huo Xiao.
She nodded and lowered her head to continue packing. At the same time, she answered his question.
"Our men have sent the news.
Come, the situation with the Sheng family has been discovered. The elders are now investigating all the families related to the Sheng family. "
Huo Xiao had heard about the Sheng family from her, but he didn't know why they were leaving in such a hurry.
"I thought the Sheng family's matter had nothing to do with you?"
"It had nothing to do with us at first. But Zhao Jian is dead."
She revealed a big piece of news.
Huo Xiao was puzzled.
"Wasn't Zhao Jian taken away by your men …"
He suddenly realized something.
"So, they think that you killed Zhao Jian, and they also think that you are behind the Sheng family's matter?"
Lin Mengya sighed.
What a bad move.
His men had already sent Zhao Jian back to the Zhao family.
But somehow, in just one night, there was news of Zhao Jian's tragic death, and there was evidence pointing to them at the scene.
If Lin Mengya hadn't been careful and left a few secret agents around the Sheng family to gather information, they would have been caught unprepared.
Furthermore, she couldn't take out the so-called confession of Zhao Jian that she had left behind.
Otherwise, everyone would think that they killed Zhao Jian to frame the Zhao family.
Things would only get worse for them.
"Where are you going now?" Huo Xiao asked.
She felt a little helpless at the mention of this.
Right now, the only foothold for the aboriginals was the Li family.
But if they went back now, they would undoubtedly bring trouble to the Li family. Moreover, they hadn't found the Gan family yet.
"We can only take it one step at a time. We can't drag you into this, right?"
Without them as a burden, Aunt Fang and the others could still protect Huo Xiao and the others with their abilities.
But after thinking for a while, Huo Xiao took the initiative to say, "If you don't have anywhere to go, you can go to the Huo family's old house first."
Lin Mengya's hands stopped and she looked at him in surprise.
Huo Xiao smiled.
"That house is still there, but it's a little shabby because it hasn't been lived in for years. But I go back every year to clean it up. And because it's a haunted house, no one dares to occupy it, so it can be used as a cover. "
In that case, it was indeed a good place for them to hide.
"Is it far? And there are so many of us. Is it convenient? "
A haunted house, the kind that no one lived in all year round. She was indeed tempted.
Huo Xiao immediately found a piece of paper and drew a map for them.
"Go southwest and you'll reach it in about two to three days. But it's very remote, so you'd better prepare more food if you want to go. After I send them out, I'll find a chance to meet up with you. "
Lin Mengya looked at the map carefully and found that it was really not far, so she immediately decided to go to the Huo family's old house.
"You're still coming back?" she asked.
Huo Xiao said softly, "Yes, I've talked to … to my mother. She said that the Fang family took a lot of things from the Huo family and asked me to get them back. Also, I think the Fang family must have something to do with the massacre of the Huo family. Also, the fortune-tellers who were detained by the Elders Council.
As their boss, I have to bring them home. "
From what he said, it seemed that he had reconciled with his mother.
Lin Mengya was sincerely happy for him.
"That's good. We'll wait for you to come back. When the time comes, we'll turn the aboriginals upside down!"
Huo Xiao looked at her and finally smiled confidently.
"Yes, it's a deal!"
