The person who people in the ancestral hall were more willing to help were definitely Yun Shujing and her illegitimate children. There were a few reasons. First, Huo Jiuxiao came with hatred. No one knew how far he would go to take revenge. Secondly, it was a fact that Huo Jiuxiao was deaf. Although he looked like a normal person, if he did not have a face-to-face conversation, so he would not know what others were talking about. Thirdly, the ancestral hall knew Yun Shujing and her illegitimate children well. Huo Shengyuan could run the Huo Family well.
In summary, the ancestral hall was still biased towards Yun Shujing and the others. Even without Yun Shujing’s interference, this was still the result of careful consideration by the few leaders. It was precisely because of this that Huo Jiuxiao had to tear down the roof of the ancestral hall. It was not only because of these reasons but also because of their deep-rooted concept of hierarchy and class treatment.
No one could take charge of him, not Huo Qingxiao, not even the ancestral hall.
In order to add to the fallout between Yun Shujing and the ancestral hall, Huo Jiuxiao, and Lin Wanli went to look for Xuebin after leaving Shen Changmei’s villa. Huo Jiuxiao knew very well that although Xue Bin was Uncle Zhong’s man, he had always had objections to the ancestral hall’s methods. There were many interests involved, so he could not say anything. However, he could not influence the fairness of others, but he could insist on his own fairness.
“Eldest Young Master, do you want to know the details of the ancestral hall’s decision to support Yun Shujing back then? Forgive me for being blunt, but it happened more than twenty years ago. Not to mention that you weren’t even born yet, I was only a few years old at that time, so I didn’t have the chance to participate at all. Even the struggles of Uncle Xiao’s generation, I’ve only heard about it a few times.” Xuebin replied.
“The ancestral hall changed my mother and indirectly forced her to die. Now, even I have to continue to suffer the pain brought by the ancestral hall. If it were you, what would you do?” Huo Jiuxiao asked coldly.
Xuebin opened his mouth, wanting to explain himself, but in the end, he could not say anything.
Because it was too shameless.
In front of others, Xuebin could say things like the ancestral hall did not owe them anything, but when the other party was Huo Jiuxiao, so he could not say a word. His mother’s death, his car accident, and his hearing loss were all caused by the ancestral hall’s protection and indulgence of Yun Shujing, so Xuebin could understand Huo Jiuxiao’s hatred.
“Wealthy families are not a cover for class division, and ancestral halls should not become a hotbed for crime. Anything that violates the law should be judged by law. The Huo Family is overstepping their boundaries and has no bottom line. Anyone who doesn’t respect life and doesn’t defend equality will suffer the backlash of class. Do you believe that? The pile of bones under the ancestral hall will tell us the answer.”
With that, Huo Jiuxiao left the ancestral hall with Lin Wanli.
However, these words made an impact on Xuebin.
Huo Jiuxiao was the favored son of the heavens. He should have defended his rights as the heir to the throne and the division of social classes. However, he told Xuebin that he pursued equality.
At this time, Xue Bin did not understand. He chased after Huo Jiuxiao and asked him face-to-face, “What? Without class, how can the family be stable?”
“Under equality, ability is of utmost importance. The rules that you are protecting now are exchanged for the blood of innocent people. Reputation and status can’t be an excuse to do evil. Those who will be coerced are the supporters of power.”
Xuebin had been with Uncle Zhong for too long, so long that he was told from the moment he was born that he had to protect the interests of the Huo Family, balance the interests of all parties in the Huo Family, protect his identity as the head of the Huo Family, and be loyal to the ancestral hall forever. Not only that, but everyone in the Huo Family should do their own jobs and not overstep their boundaries. The butler and the branch family had to be distinguished clearly and could not cross the ranks.
But now, someone told him that everyone should be equal. He felt that his worldview had been greatly impacted.
Lin Wanli was being held by Huo Jiuxiao. She would occasionally turn around to look because she felt that Xuebin’s expression did not look too good. Wrapped in the Huo Family’s glamorous appearance, the people inside seemed to be unable to see the outside world.
After the two of them walked away, Lin Wanli went around Huo Jiuxiao and hugged him. She pressed her head against his chest as if she was listening to his strong heartbeat.
[How can my Master be so good?]
Even in hell, he had never vented his anger or implicated others because of his hatred. Even though he had given up on himself for ten years, he had never hurt anyone’s life because of his indulgence.
Her Huo Jiuxiao always talked about throwing people into the sewers, but he never lost his sense of propriety.
“You’re the only one who thinks I’m good.”
[How could that be? Song Huaishu, Aunt Qi, my mother, Old Madam Yue.
Everyone that you have interacted with along the way thinks that you’re good.] Lin Wanli said seriously in her heart, ‘I said that I would make Huo Jiuxiao understand that he is worthy of love and also worthy of being followed.’
Huo Jiuxiao gently caressed Lin Wanli’s hair. A smile finally appeared on his face. “My Little Sweet Wife has this habit of confessing anytime and anywhere.
When will she change?”S earch newn0vel() on g00gle
[I don’t want to change it and I’m not willing to change it.]
Huo Jiuxiao’s affinity with the opposite sex had always been poor in the first half of his life. Or rather, he hated the approach of female creatures. However, the only three women who appeared in his life were all bright.
His mother had given him freedom, Ah Li had given him redemption, and Youran had given him a future.
“Still hugging? The old thing is looking.” Suddenly, Master Xiao patted Lin Wanli’s shoulder, reminding her that someone was approaching.
Lin Wanli regained her serious expression and stood upright beside Huo Jiuxiao.
Huo Qingxiao looked at the two of them and frowned as if he was thinking about something. Then, he let go of his frown.
Lin Wanli was afraid that Huo Qingxiao would not believe that their relationship was not good, so she said to Huo Jiuxiao seriously, “Thank you for catching me. I almost sprained my ankle.”
However, Huo Jiuxiao tilted his head and whispered in her ear, “Stop acting. It’s more suspicious if you try to cover it up.”
Lin Wanli was speechless.
In fact, Huo Qinzxiao had seen the two of them from afar. The old man was used to overthinking things, especially when he saw Huo Jiuxiao’s gaze, which was never so gentle in front of others. He had a faint guess in his heart.
Huo Jiuxiao knew that he was approaching, but he did not stop his wife.
He wanted to know how sincere the old thing was in avenging his mother.
A few of them returned to the Huo Family one after another. After entering the hall, Huo Qingxiao turned his back to the two of them. He said to Lin Wanli, “Wanli, tell that thing beside you to come to my study room.”
Lin Wanli glanced at Master Xiao and he understood.
The father and son entered the study one after the other. After Huo Qingxiao sat down, he asked Huo Jiuxiao, “Does your joy include playing with me? How bold you are. Aren’t you afraid that Lin Wanli will become the second Ziyun?”
Huo Jiuxiao had one hand in his pocket. His posture was very lazy, but his words were very serious. “I’m not you, and Ah Li is not my Mom. We either get what we want, or we die together..”
