Chapter 2204

This incident caused a big uproar and alarmed the uncle and the old lady.

Everyone in the Huo family knew that the prince was angry and wanted to split the family.

When Qiu Hongyan got the news, she was sorting out the accounts and was stunned for a moment. When she rushed to the main hall, almost everyone in the Huo family was there.

Ding's eyes turned red from crying.

Mrs. Huo sighed and saw Qiu Hongyan coming. She quickly waved, "Come, come, little Hongyan, come and take care of your husband."

Huo Siwu was furious. "Don't try to bully my wife because she's easy to talk to!"

Madam Huo sighed, "Fifteen, you misunderstood your mother. She never thought of taking a concubine for you, and she never troubled Xiao Hongyan because of the child. If you don't believe me, ask your wife."

Qiu Hongyan looked bewildered, but nodded and replied, "Yes, mother has never made things difficult for me."

Huo Siwu recalled how his mother protected Huo Sishan when he was a child, causing him to suffer all kinds of grievances.

I also pretend to be fine on the outside. No matter how sad I am, I will pretend to be nonchalant and say, "I'm fine."

He felt that Qiu Hongyan, like him, had also suffered injustices in secret, but dared not speak out, and he felt even more sad and angry.

Mrs. Ding also recalled that she had made her son suffer for many years. In comparison, her own grievance was nothing.

She wiped her tears and explained, "When the Marquis of Linyang comes to visit, I can't refuse him, no matter the etiquette or friendship. Besides, I did intend to sound him out that day. But if it weren't for you, Siwu, I have carefully restored our mother-son relationship over the years. How could I do such a disgusting thing?"

Uncle Huo's wife, Yang, stepped forward to help, "Yes, yes, it's my fault. I went to ask my eldest sister-in-law for help in finding a marriage for my illegitimate son, and it just so happened that someone from the Linyang Marquis's Mansion came..."

It was a misunderstanding! Ding was actually seeking a marriage for the illegitimate son of the Huo family's third branch, but the other party's target turned out to be Huo Siwu.

This move was too dirty, and the third branch of the Huo family immediately said that the marriage would not be discussed.

I can’t afford it, just pass it!

In this way, the family was not divided.

Huo Siwu repeatedly assured Qiu Hongyan, "I won't take a concubine." Then he pressed, "Are you really not being wronged?"

Qiu Hongyan looked at Huo Siwu's haggard face. Although she couldn't bear it, she couldn't help but feel angry. She turned her face away and said, "I heard that you drank the chicken soup made by Miss Jiang San. From now on, I will never cook for you again."

Huo Siwu complained, "Everyone in the room drank it. Besides, when I was drinking it, I had no idea what kind of soup the Third Young Lady had made." He raised his head and stiffened his neck. "I have such a virtuous and skillful wife. Do I need that soup?"

"Hmph!" The little beauty wasn't as easy to coax as before. She curled her lips in disbelief and said, "You stopped me from delivering the soup because you think the soup at home isn't as delicious as the wild soup out there!"

Huo Siwu argued hastily, "God and Heaven, I swear I can't bear to feed your soup to those rough guys!"

How can they be worthy?

It turned out that whenever Qiu Hongyan brought soup to the yamen, it would always be shared by the officials.

He was always unhappy. He would rather spend his own money to order soup from outside and have it delivered to the yamen than let his wife's hard-cooked soup be served to outsiders.

Qiu Hongyan felt relieved after hearing his explanation. After holding it in for a long time, she asked again, "Fifteen, do you not like me as much as before?"

Where did this come from? Huo Siwu slammed the table and said, "Nonsense! I, Huo Shiwu, have only liked Xiao Hongyan from the beginning to the end!"
