Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 658

During this period, the person who appeared most frequently in Huo Tingsheng's dreams, besides Xie Qingmo, was his and Xie Qingmo's only son, Huo Xiu.

Huo Tingsheng was wary of Xie Qingmo, and consequently didn't like his overly clever son Huo Xiu, especially since Huo Xiu was wholeheartedly on Xie Qingmo's side.

When Huo Tingsheng banished Xie Qingmo to the Cold Palace, Huo Xiu desperately protected Xie Qingmo, and as a result, Huo Tingsheng deposed him from his position as Crown Prince and imprisoned him in the Cold Palace as well.

Anyway, Huo Tingsheng has more than one son. He originally preferred Huo Sizhen, the son of Jiang Yunwan. Huo Xiu is so ungrateful and insists on going against him. Who can he blame?

Over the years, Huo Tingsheng has deliberately avoided thinking about Xie Qingmo and Huo Xiu. They deserved to die anyway, and since they are already dead, he didn't want to worry about them anymore.

But the memory of this mother and son is still like a lingering infection; even if he tries not to think about it, it remains clearly etched in the deepest part of his memory, never fading away in the slightest.

That's why they appear so frequently and vividly in his dreams, and are so terrifying.

When Huo Xiu fled Xiqi, he was only nine years old and hadn't fully grown up yet. But Huo Tingsheng remembered it all too clearly. Now, seeing this grown-up face, which vaguely overlapped with the one in his dream, it was as if his nightmare had suddenly become reality.

"You are... Huo Xiu..."

Huo Tingsheng's voice was filled with extreme fear. The way he looked at Mo Zhonggui was not like he was looking at his own son, but rather like he was looking at a vengeful ghost that had crawled out of hell to claim his life.

He recognized him, but he really didn't want to believe it, and he couldn't believe it.

"Weren't you killed long ago? Why...?"

Mo Zhonggui said calmly, "Thanks to my father, I escaped with my life. Since the end of the year before last, the 'Huo Jinghuai' you have seen has all been me in disguise."

Huo Tingsheng stared at him in disbelief, his mind a jumbled mess, struggling to process the overwhelming information.

"How...how is this possible..."

In other words, Huo Xiu had already begun planning for this day from that time onwards.

No wonder Huo Jinghuai, who was timid and incompetent with no presence before, suddenly became talented, capable, and increasingly popular.

It turns out that the core inside this shell has been completely replaced!

He was completely unaware of this, and even praised Huo Jinghuai many times, and gave him many rewards!

Great! Well done! You kept him completely in the dark!

Huo Tingsheng was so angry that he actually laughed through gritted teeth.

"So you've gone to such lengths to avenge your mother? I am your biological father! My blood flows in your veins! What right do you have to regard me as an enemy!"

Mo Zhonggui looked down at him coldly.

"Because you don't treat me like a son. How many fathers would send assassins all over the world to hunt down their own sons? If the father is not kind, the son will naturally be unfilial. Only my mother and the Xie family are my true relatives. No matter whose blood they are, as long as they harm my loved ones, they are my mortal enemies."
