Huo Jiwen looked at him in disbelief, "Father, are you going to remove me from the list?"

Huo Xingchen said coldly, "Of course, from now on we don't have a beast like you as our son."

Huo Jiwen panicked this time and immediately knelt down, saying, "Father, I really didn't poison Mother. I don't know anything."

Huo Xingchen sneered, "You two are a couple, do you think I'm a fool who can be fooled by you?"

"You tried to stop me from searching just now, and you looked so guilty. Even a fool could tell something was wrong."

"Guards, throw Huo Jiwen and this woman out of the Duke's mansion. Do not allow them to take anything from the Duke's mansion."

Since the goal is to drive the person away, it's best to go all the way and leave them with nothing.

If they had done that before, people outside would have gossiped and thought the couple was too heartless.

Even if it's going to be distributed, it should at least be given some money.

But now Huo Jiwen and his wife have poisoned their own mother, and being kicked out of the house with nothing and expelled from the clan is entirely deserved.

Huo Jiwen tried to explain and plead for leniency, but Huo Xingchen didn't give him a chance at all.

Out of sight, out of mind; he put on a disappointed and heartbroken expression and turned to leave.

The guards were swift; they immediately escorted the two men out of the Duke's mansion.

Huo Jiwen and his companion were thrown out of the mansion in a disheveled state, which was seen by passersby, who couldn't help but inquire what had happened.

Then everyone living around heard that the poison that had afflicted the princess was actually a concoction by Shi Ling and administered by Huo Jiwen.

Then the whole capital knew about it, and Huo Jiwen and Shi Lingqiao became the objects of scorn throughout the capital. When they learned that they had been kicked out of the mansion, everyone shouted that they deserved it.
