Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng

Chapter 97 Huo Zhiyuan Saved Hong Qiujue

In this way, Hong Qiujue and the princess became close friends until she was killed, brought back her husband, married him, and lived in the princess's mansion. The two had more opportunities to meet.

The eldest princess and her husband were in love for a while, but when she became pregnant, her tragedy began.

During those ten months, she saw the eldest princess depressed and her husband surrounded by women and reveling every night. She was very angry and felt sorry for the princess, but she could not do anything. This was a matter between the eldest princess and her husband, and others could not say anything.

What's more, the prince consort's status and position are higher than hers, so she has no say.

After the eldest princess gave birth to the little prince, her health became worse and worse, which she found very strange.

The eldest princess loves the young prince very much. She was so happy when she gave birth to him that she couldn't wait to be unhappy.

Although she had suspicions, she could not find any evidence. During that time, she was basically taking care of the eldest princess. She checked her food and medicine, but found nothing suspicious. However, the eldest princess' health deteriorated and she soon passed away.

After the eldest princess left, she wanted to find an excuse to stay and take care of the prince, but was rejected by Marquis Anyang.

Until one day, when she went to Anyang Mansion to visit the prince, she passed by the old lady's room and overheard the old lady and her aunt plotting to murder the prince. Only then did she realize that the old lady could not tolerate the young prince and had always resented the eldest princess.

She didn't know why the old lady hated the eldest princess. If there was no eldest princess, her family would still be struggling in the countryside, starving. How could they have such wealth and glory?

He is simply an ungrateful beast who can never be tamed.

In order not to alert the enemy and to successfully rescue the prince, she quietly left the Marquis' Mansion and returned to her own house.

She found her father and begged him to give her some people so that she could go and save the prince.

Marquis Huaiyang would definitely not agree, as this would make him an enemy of Marquis Anyang.

Hong Qiujue used the emperor to pressure him, saying that he disagreed. She then went to the palace and told the emperor that Marquis Huaiyang knew that Marquis Anyang was going to murder the eldest princess's son, but he did not report it or go to rescue him.

The emperor will surely be furious and execute his entire family.

She also said that as long as her father agreed to save the prince, she would take her mother away from the Marquis's Mansion and give him all the rewards given by the eldest princess.

After weighing the pros and cons, Marquis Huaiyang finally agreed to her request.

Hong Qiujue left behind 10,000 taels of silver and gave the rest of the stuff to Marquis Huaiyang. All together, those things were worth almost several hundred thousand taels.

The eldest princess was really good to her. Knowing that she had a hard life, the rewards she gave her were all very valuable.

On the day when the old lady took the young master to pray for blessings, the Marquis of Huaiyang gave Hong Qiujue fifteen guards, all of whom were masked.

They lay in ambush in advance, and after the people arranged by the old lady succeeded, they killed them all on the way to escape, and then destroyed the bodies to prevent anyone from finding them.

Hong Qiujue took the young master and his mother away from the capital and fled.

The masked guards returned to the Huaiyang Marquis's mansion to report, and then the Huaiyang Marquis created an opportunity and asked his wife to burn down the yard, where several charred bodies were found. He announced to the public that Hong Qiujue and her daughter had died in the fire because of a fire.

Of course, the Emperor and Marquis Anyang didn't believe it and sent people to investigate. They found out that the Marquis's wife had hired someone to set the fire out of jealousy. The Emperor punished the Marquis's wife in the afternoon and the matter was over.

Hong Qiujue fled with the young master and his mother, and when they passed through Jingzhou, he arranged for his mother to stay in Jingzhou.

He bought a three-story courtyard, a guard and three maids to serve his mother, and left her five thousand taels of silver, which was enough for her to spend.

She did this because she didn't want to attract too much attention. After all, the three of them were already dead, and appearing together would definitely arouse suspicion.

She carried 1,220 taels of silver on her, dressed simply, and fled with the young master.

When she passed through Liangzhou, she only had three hundred taels of silver on her. She was physically and mentally exhausted and felt that life here was not bad.

She rented a simple house in Liangzhou, and the mother and son started living together.

One day, she took her son out and was molested by some hooligans. She was so scared that her whole body was shaking, and her son also burst into tears.

It was his crying that attracted Huo Jinyuan who happened to be passing by. Seeing a few thugs molesting a woman, he picked up a wooden stick nearby and rushed over to hit them on the head, driving them away and saving Hong Qiujue.

After being rescued, Hong Qiujue was very grateful to Huo Zhiyuan and took out one hundred taels as a thank you gift for saving his life.

Of course Huo Zhiyuan refused to accept it, as he was in a hurry to go back and take care of his son.

His wife had just passed away, leaving behind two young children, and he, a grown man, didn't know how to take care of them.

In order to save his father, Huo Jin, who was terminally ill at the time, Huo Zhiyuan sold himself to a landlord named Liu in Liangzhou. He used the ten taels of silver from the sale to pay for Hawking's medical treatment and finally saved Hawking.

He lived in Landlord Liu's mansion until he was eighteen years old, and then he married Lu Qiuyu, who was also a maid in Landlord Liu's mansion.

When he was twenty-one, he gave birth to his son Huo Jinzhou. When he was twenty-three, he gave birth to his second son Huo Jinhao. From then on, Lu Qiuyu's body was left with a disease and he could no longer have children.

When he was 26 years old, landlord Liu broke the law and his entire family was executed.

The governor of the province at that time felt sorry for these slaves and sentenced them to two years in prison. After that, he set them free and even destroyed their indentures.

Two years in prison had drained Lu Qiuyu's body. After being released from prison, she died after only two years.

Seeing Huo Zhiyuan leaving in a hurry, before he even accepted the 100 taels of silver note, Hong Qiujue picked up the young master and chased after him.
