Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

"Don't think I don't know anything! My mother told me everything before she died!"

"She's nice to me to put her mind at ease!"

Even the well-informed Sang Ning was stunned by these remarks.

Many people in the capital knew about the old lady's divorce when she was young, which caused quite a stir back then, thanks to Miss Yang.

As Huo Zhennan's power grew, no one dared to speak ill of him anymore. When the topic came up again, people would say that the old lady had exceptional insight, choosing an unknown nobody over the wealthy Yun family, and eventually becoming the wife of a marquis.

But some people gossip behind her back, like her good stepmother, who has talked about her behind her back.

Anyone with common sense would know what was going on. The old lady was clearly the victim, but Yun Shuixian's mother twisted the truth later on. She must have realized that Yun Feichi was not a good man and regretted it!

It's true what they say, you can't get the best of both worlds. Yunshuixian inherited this from the root, and the old lady raised her for ten years, all for nothing!

"Shameless!"

Huo Chang'an fired a shot from his slingshot.

Yun Shuixian's beautiful face was instantly covered in blood, and she screamed in agony.

"If you don't get out of here, I'll kill you!"

He was on the verge of losing his temper. If Yun Shuixian said just one more word, blood would really be spilled on the spot!

Sang Ning suddenly noticed a tear fall from the corner of the old lady's eye.

She's still conscious!

They can hear what people outside are saying.

Sang Ning felt that the old lady could be saved and that they couldn't delay any longer.

Ideally, we should be able to find the medicine.

Yun Shuixian trembled all over, and she suddenly became sober.

She really couldn't survive without the Huo family.

"Aunt, Aunt, please wake up, Aunt..." She tried to ask the old lady for help, but Xie Yurou pushed her away.

Sang Ning stood up angrily and kicked Yun Shuixian twice in the chest.

"You're asking for it! The daughter is responsible for the father's debts; now that we're even, get out of here!"

"Get out of here!" Huo Jingya roared.

"Get out of here!" Jintang raised the stone.

"Get out of here!"

"Get out of here!"

……

They're driving her to her death!

The Huo family is ruthless, so ruthless! So ruthless!

Yun Shuixian clutched her chest, her hateful gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Huo Chang'an.

"Huo Chang'an, you're a cripple! The Huo family is finished! You'll never return to the capital; you'll only live like dogs, the lowest of the low, and die in the barren Northwest!"

"Who wants to suffer with you!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

Enraged, Huo Jingya wanted to go forward and hit him, but Huo Chang'an stopped her.

"Why fight with a dog? Take care of Mom first!"

He'd heard the most offensive insults before, so what was a little spitting like that?

Yeah.

This is just the beginning; there's still a long way to go!

He wanted to see how many monsters and demons would emerge when the Marquis's mansion fell into trouble.

"You two watch over Mother, I'll go find some medicine that might be useful," Sang Ning said.

Huo Chang'an's gloomy eyes suddenly flickered, "Ning'er..."

"Hmm?" Sang Ning turned around.

That "Ning'er" is rather unpleasant.

"Don't call me that. I've changed my name. It's Sang Ning, Ning as in peace and tranquility."

The "Ning" in "peaceful and tranquil".

This is a good name change.

Huo Chang'an suddenly felt that he had figured out what she meant.

Mother will definitely be alright, and the whole family will be alright.

His eyes revealed a hint of emotion that he couldn't hide.

"Thank you... Be careful."

Ah Ning.

"Oh."

Sang Ning turned around in confusion, not quite understanding the change in his eyes, which had just looked fierce and ready to kill someone.

More crows flew overhead, and there was more than one.

Jintang silently shed tears, repeatedly shooting at the slingshot Huo Chang'an had made for him, but he couldn't hit a single one.

The tears flowed even more fiercely.

"Get away, you stinky bird, my grandmother will be fine!"

Huo Jingya angrily waved a stone at them, yelling, "Ungrateful wretch! Ungrateful wretch!"

I'm so angry! I'm so angry!

She was the most angry one there.

The sisters-in-law didn't spend much time with Yun Shuixian, but she grew up eating and sleeping with Yun Shuixian and gave her everything good!

What a loss!

That's so humiliating!

Huo Chang'an had calmed down and stopped the two naive people, his gaze fixed on the direction where the crows were.

"Xiaoya, you and Jintang go over there and take a look."

A strange feeling suddenly welled up inside me.

Is it possible that the crow did not come for its mother?

Sure enough, after checking, Huo Jingya and Jintang ran back shouting.

"Fourth Brother! It's Li Chang! Li Chang is over there, he's dying! He's still clinging to life!"

Everyone suddenly perked up.

Moreover, the old lady opened her eyes at this moment!

"Mother! This is wonderful, wonderful..."

"Mom, you scared us to death!"

"My sister-in-law went to find medicine..."

As for the missing daffodils, everyone looked at each other, unsure whether to mention it.

The old lady waved her hand, looking weary, "Mother already knows, there's no need to say more."

"Mother just dreamt of your father. He scolded me and told me to come back, saying that once the Huo family gets through this difficult period, things will turn around."

"You, every single one of you, get your act together, understand?"

Everyone nodded in unison: "We understand."

After the old lady finished speaking, she lost her strength and closed her eyes again in a daze.

"Third sister-in-law, you stay here and take care of Mother. Eldest sister-in-law, Xiaoya, Jintang, carry me over there."

Huo Chang'an seemed calm, his expression revealing neither joy nor anger, but a sinister glint lurked in his eyes, sending chills down one's spine, leaving one wondering what he was about to do.

Li Chang lay on the ground, his body emitting a rotten smell, attracting flies.

But his eyes were still moving, and his breathing was like a leaky sieve.

The crows had already begun to savor their meal, pecking greedily at the meat on Li Chang's thigh.

Huo Jingya and Li Yuzhi vomited immediately.

Jintang's face was deathly pale.

Huo Chang'an didn't react at all.

Such smells and horrific scenes played out every day while I was in prison.

They wrapped a person in a tin coat, put a starving rat inside, and eventually the rat could come out of the person's mouth.

It's far more shocking than crows eating people.

“You all, come forward one by one and smash him to pieces so that the crows can eat.”

"..."

Fourth Brother, what did you say?

Huo Chang'an looked over coldly, his eyes dark and unreadable.

It is like a bottomless, ancient, icy pool.

He's not kidding.

"If you don't even dare to smash a dead body, how will you protect yourself when you encounter bandits or refugees in the future? Will you just stretch out your necks and wait to be beheaded? Or will you be so spineless as to bite your tongue and commit suicide?"

“Go ahead and smash it! Have you forgotten how he bullied people? Have you forgotten how he insulted your father and brothers? Have you forgotten how he looked at you with such filthy eyes?”

“Sister-in-law, he once humiliated my brother and broke his hand that was used for writing. Smash his hand.”

"Jintang, you're the man of the house! You're the first to hit him! Hit him on the head!"

"Xiaoya, gouge out his malicious eyes!"
