In fact, it was his father's wish for him to come here this time.
Since he was chosen as his cousin's successor, although his cousin agreed, he did not take any action.
This made both him and his father a little uneasy.
So he came here this time, firstly, to urge his cousin to recommend him to serve in the Presbyterian Church as soon as possible; secondly, it was also out of his and his father's selfish motives.
In my uncle's hands, I can hold the Zhao family's ancestral property.
He thought that since his cousin would let him inherit the position of the Presbyterian Church, the huge wealth in his cousin's name was destined to be in his hands.
Mrs. Duan, Zhao Zifei, he didn't take any of these people seriously.
He wants his status, and he also wants his cousin's money!
He licked his lips and led his people straight to Zhao's private treasury in high spirits.
Unexpectedly, he was blocked by someone at the door.
"Outsiders are not allowed to trespass. Master Tang, please come back."
The person responsible for guarding the private treasury has long been replaced by a loyal and reliable person.
Although there are all kinds of rumors in the mansion, they understand that this is the top priority of the Zhao mansion, and no one dares to relax.
Zhao Xun pushed the guard without hesitation.
"Go away, this young master belongs to me from now on! If you are sensible, please open the door for me."
"I'm sorry, young master, but this place is not open to anyone without the orders of the master and madam."
The guard had a straight face, showing no fear or hesitation.
Zhao Xun sneered, obviously losing his patience, and with a wave of his hand, he wanted to let the people he brought forcefully break through the door.
At this moment, Fang Rao got the news and arrived in time.
"stop!"
She frowned and walked quickly to the guard.
"Zhao Xun, this is not the main Zhao family. It's not your turn to run wild."
In response to her scolding, Zhao Xun just sneered and said, "So what if it's not my family? Let me tell you, now that my cousin is dead, I am his heir. Everything here belongs to me!"
Fang Rao was a little worried after what he said, but then he thought that the master was at Gong Ya's place.
With that girl's medical skills, at least the master should be safe now.
In other words, the other party is lying.
Now, I feel more confident.
"Stop talking nonsense here and cursing my master! Do you think that by telling such lies to scare us, you can make us lose our minds and let you succeed? You are dreaming!"
When the guards heard the news that the master was dead just now, they were somewhat panicked.
Then Fang Rao's words calmed their hearts.
Yes.
It must be this shameless young master who deliberately made up lies to deceive them. !
Suddenly, everyone seemed to have found their backbone and were united in speaking out.
"You idiots, you've been fooled and you don't even know it!"
Zhao Xun was furious. He stared coldly at these ignorant servants, feeling violent in his heart.
"Since you don't have to drink wine as a penalty for toasting, then I will send you to see your master together!"
The master is dead, and keeping these cheap slaves will only cause more trouble for him.
Fang Rao saw that the guy in front of him had murderous intentions and immediately clenched his fists.
It's not that she doesn't have the strength to fight, but in that case, her hidden strength will eventually be exposed.
But everything here was created by her own hands.
Finally she made up her mind.
Even if she is exposed, she still has to protect everything here.
"There is no need to keep people who are an eyesore."
Zhao Xun glanced at them disdainfully and gave orders to his subordinates.
In an instant, the guards and servants of the Zhao family all understood.
It's a dead end, but they have no choice.
"Zhao Xun, if you retreat now, I can still spare your life."
Fang Rao, who decided to give it a go, no longer tried to hide it.
In the blink of an eye, she was no longer the inconspicuous woman.
In addition to Mrs. Zhao, she is also the "ghost mother-in-law" who has been able to dominate the ancient clan for many years and is even feared by the Presbyterian Council.
Zhao Xun narrowed his eyes.
What happened to this old woman? Why did she make him feel inexplicably afraid?
But greed still defeated fear.
So what if this old woman is really weird?
The people he brought were all carefully selected by his father.
Everything about my cousin must become his!
"Stop talking nonsense and grab the things!"
Zhao Xun gave an order, and those wolves, tigers, and leopards immediately showed their weapons and killed the unarmed servants of the Zhao family.
Fang Rao also suddenly shouted in surprise.
"Zhao Xun, you are looking for death!"
At the same moment, she slipped out a pigeon bomb from her sleeve, pulled out the tail and threw it into the sky.
With a scream, the flying pigeon bomb exploded in the sky, releasing a dazzling light.
Fang Rao didn't care about anything else and joined everyone in resisting the attacks of Zhao Xun and his men.
But the next moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed out of the air.
"Ahhhh——"
Several screams sounded, and Fang Rao was stunned for a moment. Immediately, her face showed
A look of ecstasy.
"Xiao'er!"
Huo Xiao landed lightly, and the gangsters next to him had been knocked to the ground by him, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Huo Xiao looked around and saw a woman whose voice sounded exactly like his mother's, but with an unfamiliar face.
Then he realized something and nodded to his mother.
When Fang Rao saw his son arriving, his confidence increased even more.
After a while, those people hiding in the dark also came to help.
The group of people who were clearly at a disadvantage just now were surrounded in the blink of an eye, surrounding Zhao Xun and his people.
"Zhao Xun, why don't you stop?"
Fang Rao barely suppressed his excitement and started to deal with Zhao Xun, the white-eyed wolf.
The latter was also panicked, but more importantly, he was frustrated that his wish could not be achieved.
These troublesome guys!
"How dare you touch me! This family will not let you go. I am the heir chosen by this family. Everything here is-"
He didn't say the word "my" because Huo Xiao had already knocked him unconscious.
The tall and stern man did not speak. He just carried Zhao Xun who fainted and looked around coldly with his black eyes.
The next moment, those people brought by Zhao Xun unconsciously stopped.
They didn't know whether that man dared to kill the young master or not.
But if something really happened to the young master, their lives would definitely be in danger.
Seeing this, Fang Rao quickly asked people to tie up these guys first.
As for Zhao Xun, Huo Xiao did it himself.
Huo Xiao, the former senior bandit, was naturally skilled in tying up hostages.
Casually throwing Zhao Xun, who was trapped into a rice dumpling, aside, Fang Rao couldn't wait to grab his son's hand and went to a relatively quiet room to ask questions.
"Didn't you say it would take a few days to come back? Why are you here now?"
Although the child was older, she still touched Huo Xiao's sleeves uneasily.
"It's so cold today, you don't have to worry about catching a cold even if you wear such little clothes. By the way, I made you some cotton clothes and trousers, you can put them on later. I also asked someone to buy you a big cloak, so I guess you can wear it too.
Very suitable”
His mother's nagging words kept him warmer than cotton-padded clothes.
Huo Xiao agreed and then helped his mother sit on the chair, but he didn't know how to speak.
There is nothing better than knowing a son like a mother.
Mothers always get perfect scores when it comes to interpreting their children's expressions.
"Is there anything we can't say between mother and son?" Fang Rao said softly.
In fact, the reason why Huo Xiao hesitated was because he knew that once he said this, he might reveal the scar hidden in his mother's heart.
Fang Rao guessed how many He sighed and said, "Is it about your father?"
Huo Xiao nodded.
"I tracked down those people all the way. Although I couldn't find their lair, I found some clues related to my father."
"Father, he may not be dead."
Fang Rao was shocked, and for a moment, she felt as if her soul had been pulled out.
Even she didn't know it, her eyes were red, she held her son's arm tightly, and asked with difficulty every word.
"Your father, where is he?"
She wanted to ask if he was really alive, why didn't he come to her after all these years?
Could it be that he thought he had remarried, so he was blaming her?
For a moment, Fang Rao felt aggrieved, helpless and terrified.
She was indeed sorry for him and broke their original promise.
But if it weren't for the belief in revenge for the Huo family and the reluctance to let go of the two sons, she would have gone with the ancestors of the Huo family long ago.
Huo Xiao didn't know why his mother was so excited. He was just worried that her too much excitement might be bad for her health.
"I don't know where he is. Even if he is alive, it's just my guess. Mom, don't cry yet. No matter where he is, alive or dead, I will find him."
"Okay, okay! If you don't cry, mother is waiting for you to find him, if he is still alive."
The original excitement has now turned into hesitation.
Huo Xiao saw his mother's face lowered, as if she was sad, and quickly comforted her.
"I think it's more likely that my father is still alive, but don't worry too much, Mom. I'll discuss it with Miss Gong later and ask her to help me find him."
"Mom, you don't know, Miss Gong is very powerful. She has a big chamber of commerce under her command, and I heard that she even does business in overseas countries. No matter where the father is, the child will find him!"
In the end, Fang Rao didn't have the heart to express the tangle in his heart.
What should she say?
Are you saying that she is a womanly woman, or that although she can't let go of his father, she can't let go of Zhao Yixuan in her heart?
Fang Rao has always been a woman with a fiery temperament.
But now, she almost let the two men's unrepentant affection for her torture her to the point of breaking her heart.
But no matter what, Xiao'er is right to go find his father.
Fang Rao collected himself, gathered his energy and said to Huo Xiao, "Okay, without further ado, leave the matters here to me. Miss Gong is at the village, go and ask her if she can help."
After all, Huo Xiao was more careless and didn't see the entanglement and pain in his mother's eyes, so he hurriedly went to find someone.
Watching the child leave, Fang Rao couldn't help crying silently.
