After Mother Remarried, I Laid Down Three Ground Rules With My Stepfather

Reborn into this life before the age of two, my Father vanished on his way to the provincial exam in the capital—alive, he was never found; dead, his body never returned. That very month, Grandfa...

665 I can't stand it anymore

665 I can't stand it anymore

Sun Sicheng knew that Ping'an didn't want him to go to the Huo family, and he was indeed busy, and Ping'an's ability in treating stroke was almost as good as his.

"Okay, come back soon."

Ping An nodded. He still had to go to Hujia Village and Fangjia Village tomorrow, and Huo Zhi was also waiting for him to return.

After learning some things about the Huo family from Huo Zhi, he no longer had any good feelings towards these people in the Huo family.

Ten fingers are of different lengths, and it is normal for parents to be partial to their children, but they cannot be partial to this extent, especially when the other party is someone who works wholeheartedly for the family.

As they were talking, Mr. Huang came over with a few people.

"Young Master, Young Master Ping'an, we have something to discuss with you." Lord Huang took a few quick steps and clasped his hands together.

"Ping An, you go ahead and do your work. Master Huang, Ping An has something to do and will be here soon."

Ping'an bowed slightly to the adults, and without waiting for their return greetings, he took Lin Feng and Xiao Wu out of the inn.

"Master Ping An, is my master feeling better?"

"Well, he was finally rescued these two days. He can't go out for the time being. Boss, try to close the door of the clinic these days and go home to stay indoors for a while. It's too unsafe to have so many people coming and going in the clinic."

Uncle Xi nodded, "That's true. I've decided to close the clinic from today. There aren't many medicines left in the clinic. In the past two months, anyone with some money has stockpiled a lot of medicines at home. My medicines are the cheapest, and our employer donated a lot of them before."

Ping An got in the car: "You lead the way, and when we get back to Huo's house, you ask Huo Zhi's wife and children to come see me."

"Yes, Master Ping An."

I have been here for such a long time, but I haven't met Huo Zhi's two children yet. I might as well take this opportunity to meet them.

Huo Zhi hasn't been home for a few days. His condition has improved now. I can tell his wife about his illness now. Don't let her misunderstand that Huo Zhi hasn't been home for some other reason.

Huo Zhi and his wife simply lack communication. As time goes by, the affection between them will become less and less.

Xiao Wu followed Uncle Xi's carriage. Huo Zhi's home was in the wealthy area of ​​South Street, and his own house was also here. Lin Feng went to see it after he came here. Huo Zhi took good care of the house, and it could be said that it had everything one could need.

Uncle Xi's carriage stopped in front of a big house.

"Master Ping An, this is the Huo family."

Got off the car safely.

"Lin Feng, go get some food for the mansion, and bring the master and the others over to live here tonight. It doesn't matter if you can't come in time to pick us up, just do your thing."

"Yes, young master." Lin Feng immediately drove the carriage away.

The master’s sleep quality in the inn is getting worse and worse. After a long time, his body will not be able to bear it.

Mr. Huo’s Songtao Courtyard is located in the second courtyard.

Uncle Xi led Ping'an and Xiaowu directly into the yard.

"Madam, Master Ping An is here."

Ping'an saw a woman in her fifties sitting in the small hall with a sad face. Next to her stood a woman in her thirties, who should be Huo Zhi's sister-in-law.

Both women stood up.

"Master Ping'an, you are here. I am Huo Zhi's mother, and this is my eldest daughter-in-law.

Excuse me, why didn't your master, Master Sun, come? My master's illness really needs Master Sun's help to treat it."

Mrs. Huo bowed slightly, and the young lady behind her followed suit.

Ping An was unhappy.

These two people are very rude.

He was indeed Huo Zhi's friend, but he was also an official of the imperial court and a legitimate marquis.

It's your business whether to perform the salute or not, but it's my business whether you should perform the salute or not.

Huo Zhi's mother was really confused.

He just bowed slightly as a greeting.

"Madam Huo, Madam Young Master, my master is discussing something with Master Huang and can't come for the time being. I'll come over to see Master Huo first."

"Well, I'll trouble you, Master Ping An."

Mrs. Huo was shocked to see Ping'an's cold attitude. Wasn't Wan Ping'an close to Ah Zhi? Why was he so cold? He didn't even call her aunt? Wasn't that a bit too rude?

Uncle Xi kept complaining in the back.

Madam and the eldest young master's wife are really too rude. It is true that they are friends of the boss, but he is also a marquis first. Such an attitude is really, really...

Several people walked into the house.

Master Huo had just been cleaned up by two old servants and fed a sip of ginseng soup, and he felt a little better.

Uncle Xi stepped forward and said, "Master, Master Ping An is here to see you."

Master Huo frowned, "Master Ping An? Isn't he the eldest son? That wicked boy hasn't come home yet? He is so unfilial."

He was able to speak, but his voice was a little unclear. Ping An stopped and he could still understand the words.

He turned to look at Mrs. Huo and Mrs. Huo, who looked embarrassed.

"Is this how your family treats Huo Zhi? He hasn't come back these days, don't you want to ask what he's doing?"

Mrs. Huo's face looked a little unhappy. She was already unhappy that Sun Sicheng did not come. Ping An was a friend of Azhi, but he had no manners at all and was a complete rude person.

"Master Ping'an, what do you mean by that? Huo Zhi hasn't been home for five or six days. He knows full well that his father has had a stroke and his elder brother is trapped in the county town.

Now that his elder brother was finally rescued by General Hao, he did not even go to the county town to check his elder brother's pulse. Even when his elder brother sent someone back to ask for medicinal materials, he actually refused to let Uncle Xi deliver them. He is really, well, I won't say more. It is really a misfortune for the family."

Mr. Huo on the kang was also grinning, looking extremely angry. Ping An felt that if Huo Zhi were here, the three members of the Huo family present might have wanted to rush over and bite him.

Huo Zhi felt really wronged living in such a family.

He really couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

“Then let me tell you, Huo Zhi almost died.

A few days ago, he was lying alone in a tent in the West Ward, vomiting and having diarrhea, with a fever so severe that he almost died.

I took him away regardless of everything, and I have felt a little better in the past two days.

I just don't understand, I am an outsider, but I could save him despite the risk of being infected. You, his family members, clearly knew that he had not come back for so many days. If it wasn't for something unavoidable, he would not have come back to see his parents, wife and children.

But you just complain about him, no one cares what happened to him?

The Huo family is in the present day if it weren't for Huo Zhi. His eldest brother alone might not be able to survive, right?

I have something else to do. Have you guys discussed it? Do you want me to treat Mr. Huo? If not, I'll leave. Huo Zhi is still waiting for me to save his life.

Besides, I am a noble marquis no matter how old I am. If you don't like me, there is no need for me to rush to treat Master Huo, right?"

"Ah? What's wrong with my husband? Are you Master Ping An?"

Ping An turned around and saw a young woman of about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, a boy of six or seven years old, and a little girl of four or five years old.

"You are Mr. Huo's second wife, and I am Ping An, Mr. Huo's friend."

The woman took her two children and knelt down before Ping An: "Homa brought her two children to see the benefactor. My husband said that you saved his life twice, otherwise he would have died long ago."

The boy and his sister kowtowed to Ping An obediently.

"Alright, alright, everyone get up."

Ping'an took out two gifts from his arms, the same as the ones from Wang Qing's family, a golden eagle and a golden butterfly.

"This is a welcome gift for you. When you go to the capital, I will give you something better."

He turned to Huo Zhi's wife. Now that things had come to this and the other members of the Huo family were present, he couldn't downplay Huo Zhi's illness.

"Second Sister-in-law Huo, Brother Huo was sick with an epidemic a few days ago. He was seriously ill and fainted.

I was in Fangjia Village at the time. I had no choice but to pick him up overnight. After a few days of treatment, he fortunately got much better and is out of danger now. However, he still cannot get off the kang and has to take medicine and have acupuncture.

He can't come back until he's fully recovered. You should stay at home with the children and try not to go out. The same goes for the servants."

Huo Ma pulled her children along, knelt down, and kowtowed to Ping An: "Thank you, Master Ping An. Thank you, Master Ping An, for saving my life."

"Second Sister Huo, hurry up and take care of the children. Brother Huo and I are brothers, so it's only right for us to do this. Anyway, he didn't stay away from home on purpose, he just couldn't come back."
