Chapter 63 Gambling on peoples hearts

"What?" Huo Xi was puzzled.

Mu Yan looked at her for such a long time that Huo Xi thought there was something dirty on her face, so she reflexively wiped it with her hands, only to see the corner of her mouth raised.

He was so angry that he glared at him.

But I saw that guy's face changed quickly, and he became serious in an instant.

"If Mrs. Wu did something to disgrace her mistress, such as killing her master..." He glanced at Huo Xi, "then she is a sinner. The son of a sinner will naturally not be able to attack Jue."

Huo Xi's eyes lit up, yes. She had forgotten about it.

But then I thought, "But she just doesn't acknowledge this kind of thing. I can't do anything to her."

Maybe she still wanted to bet on Zhang Fu. She wanted to see how he would choose between his pillow partner and his children. Zhang Fu's attitude was crucial to their siblings.

She wanted to take a gamble.

If she loses the bet in the end, she will use her own method. In short, she will definitely avenge her mother. One life for another.

Feeling something was wrong, she looked at him and said, "You seem to know something?"

"No, I don't know anything."

Huo Xi glanced at him suspiciously. She didn't know whether to believe it or not.

Mu Yan didn't want her to know that the Huo family was surrounded by his people. "You only have people who can serve as witnesses. Once you have the evidence, it will be easy to convict Wu."

"Yes, that Gan Yuan!"

"Then don't think about it, she's dead."

"What?" Huo Xi was a little surprised. Wu hadn't found the wet nurse yet and hadn't asked about the whereabouts of her siblings. How could Wu let her die?

"You don't have to doubt that Gan Yuan is indeed dead. And your nanny already knows about it and has sent someone to bury her. Wu Youcai did it."

"My wet nurse buried her?" How come she didn't know about this?

"There is a person who wants to kill you. Your wet nurse is too late to tell you what to do. So if you want to go back to the Zhang family, don't worry, I will send someone to protect you."

Huo Xi was a little moved.

After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "As you just said, Taizu couldn't wait for King Wu to grow up, but King Wu is only one year younger than Emperor Jianwen."

It's the same situation as Nian'er. So it still depends on the attitude of the family members.

When a family member is based on preference, it is not just about appointing whoever they want. Between Emperor Jianwen and King Wu, Taizu still liked Emperor Jianwen, and even the concubine assigned to him was named Ma.

"Don't worry so much. When Taizu established the emperor's grandson, he was mainly forced by the situation. It does not mean that the emperor's grandson is more outstanding and filial than the king of Wu. If Taizu is given more time, he wants to establish Wu

King, you can also cultivate him slowly."

"Besides, Nian'er's martial arts skills are not bad at all. I have seen your younger brother Zhang Jie, but he is really useless. The British Duke is a wise man. Even if he doesn't Nian Qing, he will know the hereditary title.

Measure who is more suitable."

He refilled a cup of hot water for Huo Xi: "Besides, isn't there me?"

Huo Xi looked at him and saw that he was also looking at her, and she could see her reflection in the deep pool.

The next day, Huo Xi found the wet nurse and asked her if she had found someone to bury Gan Yuan.

The wet nurse was making ooh and ah gestures.

Mother Ma helped to explain. Huo Xi understood, "Okay, let's leave the spirit in the temple first and wait for Wu Dayou to come to Beijing to deal with it."

The nanny gestured again, and Huo Xi shook her head: "No, I don't blame you. Besides, if we restrain her, it won't delay anything for us. Just consider it a meritorious deed."

The wet nurse pulled her and nodded, pointed at her, and then pointed outside, making gestures.

Huo Xi sighed: "I haven't thought about it yet. Wu killed my mother, and I have to repay her with one life. If Zhang Fu indulges her, I will avenge my mother in my own way. Now that she is still alive, I don't worry about Nian'er.

I’ll go back to Zhang’s house now.”

Mother Ma is well aware of the cruelty of killing people without blood in the back house, and does not approve of the Huo Xi siblings returning to the Zhang family in such a hurry.

"Let's first see what step the British Lord has done for you siblings, and see what position your mother still occupies in his heart. Since ancient times, the dead cannot compete with the living. Your siblings are not living by his side.

It is not as deep as the relationship between other concubine children and him. If he cannot give you siblings an explanation, it will not do you any good to go back in such a daze."

Huo Xi nodded, she just wanted to bet on whether Zhang Fu had a place in his heart for their siblings.

But if the girl does not return to Zhang's house, what if time goes by and the last bit of fatherly love left by Zhang Fu is wiped out? What if the girl's young master is not as important as her stepmother and daughter? Zhou was anxious and looked at Huo Xi's face.

sad.

After sending the nanny and Ningxiu to the workshop, Yang stopped her again.

He took her to the warehouse and showed her the cart full of gifts sent by Zhang Fu.

They are all expensive gold, silver, jade, jewelry and fabrics, as well as a village in the suburbs of Beijing, a five-bedroom house in the inner city and a shop in the city.

"Your father and I think these are too valuable, do you want to return them? Your father and I adopted you as our own children, and never thought about the benefits of raising them."

Huo Xi patted her arm.

"Mom, don't I know who you and my father are? Don't worry, keep it. Besides, these are valuable things, are they still worth Nian'er and me? Nian'er and I are worth these things?

"

"How can you and Nian'er compare with these things! In the hearts of my parents, you are priceless treasures that would not be exchanged for any money."

"That's it. You and my dad can keep it without worry. Keep it for An'an. He will need it when he gets married and starts a business in the future."

"My parents are rich, and An'an will not be poor in the future. Over the years, you have saved a lot of what you have given to your parents, plus the rent collected by your father. The family does not need it. Your parents have saved it for you."

, I’m afraid you and Nian’er will need a lot of money in the future.”

Huo Xi hugged her arm and rubbed it, "Okay, then my parents will keep it for us. We will still rely on our parents to support us in the future."

"Well, my parents are here. If things go bad in the future, my parents will go back to the Qinhuai River to fish and feed you."

"Okay." There was a lump in my throat.

On the other side, Mrs. Wang soon learned of the whereabouts of Huo Xi and Huo Nian.

Zhang Fu only sent people to keep an eye on the Wu family and the Wu family, but missed his uncle Wang's family.

Mrs. Wang's father served as a court judge in the Wu Dynasty Privy Council.

The Privy Council was the highest military institution of the Wu dynasty. It was in charge of the secret affairs of the world's soldiers and armors. The banning of guards in every palace, military wings in the side courts, expeditions and garrison, brief review of dispatches, promotion of meritorious service, and control and dispatch all came from the Privy Council.

During the Wu Dynasty, when the Mongols were in power, almost all the Privy Council members were Mongolians, and only a handful of trusted Han Chinese could hold important positions there. The Wang family was one of them.

Even though they are now in the Wei Dynasty, the Wang family still doesn’t have any connections?

Mrs. Wang only went to her parents' house to repair a letter, and her brothers, nephews and others helped her get the job done.

Wang was shocked when she got the news.

The two cubs born by Mrs. Li had lived for ten years under her eyes? And they all survived?

The youngest one was not yet a full month old and was weaned, but he survived?
