After drinking a cup of warm tea, Huo Xiao felt as if a large stone had finally been lifted from his heart.
It had been fifteen years.
He carried the blood feud of the Huo family and the hopes of countless people on his shoulders. He didn't dare to relax for even a second and forced himself into a dead end.
Fortunately, he had done everything he could. Whether it was his companions or the ancestors of the Huo family, he had a clear conscience.
In the rest of his life, he would still do what he was supposed to do. He would find the real enemy of the Huo family, but he was no longer alone. He was no longer struggling to support everything alone.
He had family and companions. There were people to bear the hardships with him and share the joys and joys with him.
Huo Xiao's brows unconsciously relaxed a lot.
He felt that this New Year was the happiest he had ever felt in his twenty-something years of life.
"Stop! I made a mistake! Hahahaha, you're as stupid as Huo Xiao! Give me money, give me money! "
All of his emotions were forcibly dispelled by Aunt Fang's wild laughter.
Huo Xiao covered his forehead. He was so aggrieved that he was panicking.
What happened to the mother-son relationship?
His mother didn't like him as much as a table of mahjong.
On the second day of the New Year, the small courtyard of the Zhao mansion was still happy and harmonious.
Fang Mudan's matter was well concealed. Bai Jing's people couldn't pry open the corner of the small courtyard no matter how hard they tried. Bai Jing was so angry that she smashed her tea set for no reason.
The maids and maids next to her didn't dare to say anything.
They just felt sorry for the treasures that were smashed.
After all, they didn't bring many things. If they kept smashing like this, they were afraid that they would have to plunge their heads into the water tank and drink directly.
"A bunch of useless things! Is Fang Rao's place really impenetrable? It must be because you lowly people are useless! "
She angrily glared at her servants and warned them darkly, "Don't think that Fang Rao can be arrogant for long! Even Zhao Yixuan will be kicked out sooner or later. She's just a fox exploiting the tiger's might! "
The maids and maids around them didn't dare to breathe loudly.
Ever since she came here, Bai Jing's temper had become more and more irritable day by day. If her mood was a little bit unhappy, she would shout and kill this group of people. She was extremely brutal.
But they were really wronged.
Not to mention that these people were slaves of the Zhao Family who had signed a death contract to buy their lives, each of them had a family that was firmly controlled by Bai Jing.
Even if they had second thoughts, they would not dare to betray Bai Jing for the safety of their families.
What's more, it wasn't that they couldn't get any benefits by following Bai Jing. Bai Jing and them were also in a relationship of prosperity and loss.
However, they did not dare to make a sound after being wrongly accused for no reason, nor did they dare to defend themselves. They could only hope that after Madam was done throwing her tantrum, she would forgive them.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Bai Jing roared with an unfriendly expression, "All of you, scram!"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Jue's gentle and respectful voice came from outside, "Madam, Big Brother's body doesn't seem to be in good health. Madam, please go and have a look."
At the mention of Zhao Xun, Bai Jing felt aggrieved and upset. She angrily shouted, "Your Big Brother's body isn't in good health. Why don't you go and find a doctor? What do you want me to do? I don't have any medical skills! "
Outside, Zhao Jue's attitude still didn't change in the slightest.
Only, he seemed to be in a difficult position.
"I've already found a doctor for Big Brother, but Big Brother has already kicked the doctor out once. Madam, please go and have a look, lest Big Brother gets angry and injures his body."
Bai Jing hated these bastard sons to the extreme.
But as long as there were no outsiders present, they were not allowed to call her mother. They could only be like those servants and call her Madam.
All these years, in order to survive under Bai Jing's hands, Zhao Jue and his mother had suffered more than this.
Bai Jing's expression became even more unsightly.
But in the end, her concern for her son still won out. After fiercely glaring at those useless fools, she pushed the door and walked out.
"Madam." Zhao Jue lowered his head. In front of Bai Jing, he had always been humble like a dog.
"Useless thing! I asked you to take care of your brother, but you can't even do it. With your aptitude, I think it's better to go back and be a servant with your useless mother! "
All these years, as the only bastard son of the South Courtyard raised in the mansion, Zhao Jue's life was simply worse than that of a pig or a dog.
Since childhood, he and his mother had lived in the beating and scolding of Bai Jing and her son.
Others thought that he was glorious, but who knew that he really wanted to take his biological mother out of the mansion and live alone.
Unfortunately, whether it was Bai Jing or his biological father, neither of them would allow it.
Therefore, he could only rely on others to live, relying on the charity of Bai Jing and her son.
Now, obviously, it was her son who had made a mistake, but the person Bai Jing would only curse was him.
Zhao Jue lowered his head and had to apologize, "It's all my fault. Please calm down, Madam."
"Humph! Of course it's your fault. Go to your room and reflect on your mistakes! You don't need to eat today's meal. You've been blinded by lard for no reason. Otherwise, your mind won't be clear! "
After that, Bai Jing arrogantly left.
And Zhao Jue could only secretly clench his fists.
The same thing again!
When he was young, every time Zhao Xun made a mistake, Bai Jing would always push the blame to him.
She didn't scold or beat him, but punished him by not allowing him to eat. On the coldest days of the year, she even chased him, who was only wearing an unlined shirt, to stand outside as punishment.
He didn't freeze to death because in the end, his biological mother and wet nurse took turns to warm him with their chests. Only then did he recover.
It was just that from then on, his biological mother and wet nurse both fell ill. They would cough up blood when it was cold. After a few years, the two of them were already sallow and emaciated.
And all of this was because of Bai Jing and her mother!
Zhao Jue's eyes were deep. These years, he had gradually become unable to show his emotions.
Only when he was touched upon the matters of the past would his emotions fluctuate a little. But very quickly, he calmed himself down.
Right now, it wasn't the right time yet.
Even if he wanted to take revenge on Bai Jing and Zhao Xun, he had to choose a suitable time to make this pair of mother and son fall into the abyss, never to rise again.
Very soon, he was the only one left here.
Zhao Jue sighed softly, maintaining a helpless look. But in fact, he had already taken in the surrounding situation.
As soon as he turned the corner, he saw a thin and cowering figure.
Raising his head, an ugly face that had been disfigured appeared in front of Zhao Jue's eyes.
On the left side of the face, from the end of the eyebrow to the cheek, there was a wound that was about two fingers wide. It was covered with yellow blisters.
At first glance, it looked like a living ghost. It was really scary.
Zhao Jue didn't like it either.
But he forcibly endured his disgust and even put on a look of concern. He asked softly, "Didn't I tell you to rest well in the house? Why did you come out? If you were exposed to the wind, it wouldn't be good for your wound. "
"Can I still be well in this state?" Xian Huan's body trembled. Her voice was hoarse and sharp. It was as if she was an evil ghost that had climbed up from hell, a lonely soul that was anxiously waiting to claim her life.
"I have already asked the doctor. If my luck is good, there might only be some scars left in the future. But it won't be a problem." Zhao Jue looked away without batting an eyelid, but his voice was still as gentle as before.
Xian Huan didn't sense the other party's distancing.
Right now, her heart was completely immersed in hatred toward Zhao Xun and Bai Jing.
She had done her best to take care of Zhao Xun and even suffered a lot for him, suffering a lot of grievances.
But she didn't expect that Zhao Xun would actually be dissatisfied after hearing the commotion outside and use a pair of hot fire tongs to burn her alive!
Her face! Completely destroyed!
That night, her helpless cries didn't cause anyone to sympathize with her. In fact, because her cries had disturbed Bai Jing's ears, she was beaten over ten times by others.
If it wasn't for Zhao Jue pleading for her at the end, she would have been beaten to death by others!
"Scars? Heh, Zhao Xun and his mother deserve to die! "
The madness in her eyes was extremely distorted. Her withered and skinny hands grabbed Zhao Jue's arm tightly as she gritted her teeth and howled, "I sacrificed everything for him! Now, he still wants to kill me. I'm not willing, I'm not willing! "
"Zhao Jue, I know you are a kind-hearted person. Help me, help me, alright?"
Zhao Jue's brows furrowed imperceptibly.
But he was still patient. He grabbed Xian Huan's hand and comforted her, "Don't be anxious, the most important thing now is to heal your injuries. Big brother can't leave you. Previously, it was because he was in a bad mood that he accidentally hurt you. "
Hearing this, Xian Huan suddenly flung his hand away and laughed maniacally, "Hahahaha, that cruel and unscrupulous bastard! Back then, I was blind to think that he was a good man! "
She laughed, and then burst into tears of grief.
"But I originally wanted to live with him wholeheartedly! When he was crippled and paralyzed, I didn't despise him. I didn't expect that he actually treated me like this! Now, I can't wait to kill this heartless person! "
Xian Huan cried and laughed at the same time. Her mental state seemed to be abnormal.
Zhao Jue really hated such a lunatic. But now, Xian Huan hadn't completely lost her value.
There was some pity on his face as he gently hugged Xian Huan's frail body.
"I know it's my big brother's fault and let you down. But he was also in a bad mood for a moment. You also know that people like him are born to be favored by the heavens. He is proud and arrogant. Now that he is paralyzed in bed, his temper is inevitably bad. "
He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the dirt on Xian Huan's face. And he intentionally avoided her injuries. It was unknown if he was really concerned or because he didn't want to touch those blisters.
"But, other than you, no one else can take care of him properly. Xian Huan, you don't know how important you are to my big brother. He can't leave you. "
Zhao Jue said slowly. His voice was soft and gentle, and seemed to have a bewitching tone.
Xian Huan bit her lips and stared at him.
"What do you mean?"
