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

After Li Yuzhi and Xie Yurou's commotion at Fuxiang Teahouse, everyone in the capital knew that the Huo family could not tolerate a concubine.

The Wei family, by standing up for themselves, completely offended the Huo family. First, they were besieged, and then all the shady dealings they had done over the years were exposed.

With the salt mines reclaimed and trade routes cut off, the other two major families didn't even have time to intervene, and the Wei family's entire business chain had already fallen into the hands of others.

Such a large, century-old family, collapsed just like that!

All those with official positions in the capital became cowards.

Only the undisturbed common people talked about it with great interest, from Huo Zhennan to the strange thing that his sons all married only one wife.

Huo Zhanfeng hurriedly passed by the clinic and suddenly thought of Cheng Ruoying.

He had already learned from Huo Jingya why Cheng Ruoying was staying with Huo Jiajun.

When the war started, Huo Jingya and Sang Ning tried to persuade her to leave, but she refused.

Huo Zhanfeng still couldn't understand it.

He didn't really have much contact with Cheng Ruoying while he was in Xichuan.

Why did she come to the capital alone to find out the truth about the murder of the Huo family?

After hearing what Jingya said, he asked Lu Shishen for some medicine and had it delivered to him. He wondered if his injuries had healed yet.

Huo Zhanfeng thought for a moment, then went inside.

Inside, several patients were gossiping about the Huo family.

The women of the Huo family are so domineering that no man in the Huo family will ever take a concubine.

"What happened to the two people who were delivered that day?"

Once Huo Zhanfeng spoke, no one else spoke.

He exudes such a powerful aura; you can tell he's a general at first glance.

These days, the people of the capital have seen too many soldiers and officers; they can all distinguish them for themselves.

The doctor carefully stepped forward and reported, "General, the young general is still recovering from his injuries. The girl's family came looking for her, so she left with them."

"Family? How badly were her injuries? Did she leave voluntarily?"

"She recovered quickly after taking the medicine you brought. She called those two men 'uncle' and left voluntarily."

"Well, go ahead and get busy."

Now that they've left, that's a relief.

Huo Zhanfeng left the clinic, his steps slowing down, feeling uneasy.

I always feel like I owe something.

But it wasn't him who sent her to gather information for the Huo family.

Why not send someone to the Cheng family with a generous congratulatory gift to celebrate Cheng Ruoying's marriage?

By the way, which family was she engaged to?

"Erlang." A soft, feminine voice sounded from behind.

Huo Zhanfeng didn't recognize who it was, and frowned as he turned around.

The thin, haggard woman stood there, shivering, dressed in thin clothes.

She looked like she had experienced many hardships and vicissitudes, and had aged more than ten years.

In the past, when he was occasionally lucid in Beimeng, he would think of what the women of the Huo family looked like, and that was probably it.

Unexpectedly, the eldest sister-in-law and her companions had a miraculous encounter, which was also a blessing upon the Huo family, preventing them from suffering unbearable hardships.

On the contrary, those who abandoned the Huo family and chose to live a life of self-preservation ended up living a miserable and destitute existence.

"Erlang, are you... are you alright?"

"Don't you know? Sang Xu Shi!"

Huo Zhanfeng looked at her coldly, his eyes filled with nothing but disgust.

"Erlang, I had no choice. I was forced into it. Sang Xiuqi threatened the Xu family, and I had no choice but to marry into their family."

Later, I ran away too. I didn't want to stay in the Sang family. I wanted to go back to the Huo family. It was Shen Ye who locked me up in the countryside.

He even had people torture me, not giving me food or making me do any work, he…

"Enough!" Huo Zhanfeng shouted.

His deep, resonant voice made people's ears ring.

Xu Mengwan was so frightened that she clutched her heart and her eyes widened.

Everyone says that Huo Zhanfeng is brave and fierce; his roar can strike fear into the hearts of his enemies.

But he had never raised his voice like that in front of her.

Even if she curses, he won't say a word. If he gets really angry, he'll clench his fists so hard they crack, and then turn and leave.

"Xu Mengwan, since you listened to the Xu family and chose to protect yourself, accept the bitter consequences today and save some face for yourself."

He initially thought the Xu family had found a way to get her out, which is why he wrote the divorce papers.

Fearing that his mother would resent him, he lied and said that she was pregnant.

He always put her first and was glad she was able to leave, and he didn't care at all that she chose to leave the Huo family at that time.

But who would have thought? Who would have thought that the Xu family were also accomplices to evil?

"Second Brother! I am the second wife of the Huo family, and always will be. Your Huo family can only marry one wife. This is what my father-in-law said."

Erlang, please let me go back. I will never dislike you again and will live a good life with you.

I am Jinxin and Jinxiu's mother; they cannot live without a mother.

"Forget about it!" Huo Zhanfeng didn't want to say anything more.

Xu Mengwan lunged forward and grabbed his robe.

"Erlang! I beg you, for the sake of our past as husband and wife, please release the Xu family, okay?"

"Dream on!" Huo Zhanfeng drew his sword.

A flash of cold light, and the robe was cleaved in two.

Xu Mengwan was so frightened by the cold aura of the blade that she collapsed to the ground.

Huo Zhanfeng left without looking back.

"Erlang!"

The woman covered her face with her dry, rough hands and let out a regretful sob.

She finally realized how rare it was to have a son from the Huo family.

But she never knew how to cherish it before.

At the beginning, she clearly liked Huo Erlang too. He was so good to her and always granted her every wish.

When did you start to dislike it?

Her half-sister married a poor scholar, and every time she came home, she would say that her husband and she would play the zither and flute in harmony, compose poems, and drink wine under the moon...

She said they often went on outings in nature with a group of classmates, enjoying poetry gatherings, and that her husband always carried a pleasant floral scent.

She was gradually influenced.

Huo Zhanfeng couldn't compose poetry; all he knew was how to wield a sword and spear.

He had no classmates, but a bunch of brothers who always smelled of sweat.

She doesn't like it, she doesn't like it at all!

Later, she felt that Huo Zhanfeng also carried that foul smell and was unwilling to get close to him.

Even though she knew he would take a shower before going into his room every time he came home.

Later, he became even more unwilling to go to Xichuan with him.

It was the carefree life in the Marquis's mansion that made her unaware of her own good fortune.

When she arrived at the Sang residence, she realized that not every mistress of a household was so tolerant.

It's not like any family treats its daughters as pampered as its sons.

Not every man never hits a woman.

She regretted it, she regretted it!

If she could go back to that time, she would definitely go to Xichuan with Huo Zhanfeng, she would definitely not quarrel with him, and she would definitely be exiled with the Huo family.

She had seen Li Yuzhi and Xie Yurou on the street.

She is more refined in appearance and has a more imposing presence than before, always traveling with a large entourage.

But she has become this horrible sight.

"Waaah... Erlang, Erlang, I was wrong, I was really wrong."

"Fool, what's the use of crying here?" A cold sneer rang out.

There's a woman in my life now.

“You and Huo Erlang have two children. If he doesn’t want you, then make the children want you!”

The men of the Huo family are so sentimental; they treat whoever they marry as family, even the daughter of their enemy like a treasure.

"If you can keep the child calm, he'll make sure you go back sooner or later!"
