Chapter 191 (Revised)

The old coachman wanted to continue telling them about Happy Building, but the sound of horse hooves was heard not far away.

The two guards looked in the direction of the person coming vigilantly.

They only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the person coming was Huo Jin.

"Father!"

When Huo Jin saw his wife and son on the ox cart, the tension in his heart finally eased.

"Whoa!"

He pulled the reins and dismounted.

"Are you okay?" He looked at Luo Chaoyan and others carefully.

Luo Chaoyan shook her head and said, "We are fine!"

Huo An laughed and said, "Father, mother was almost caught and forced to be a copycat husband."

Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes at him. Is now the time to bring up these things?

Huo Jin frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Huo An then told them about their encounter with the bandits.

Huo Jin raised his eyes and looked at Luo Chaoyan.

Luo Chaoyan coughed lightly and said, "Let's hurry back to the city now."

Huo Jin nodded.

After Luo Chaoyan and the others thanked the old man on the ox cart, they rode back on horseback with Huo Jin and the others.

In the Huo Mansion, Old Madam Huo was pacing back and forth anxiously.

Mrs. Huo comforted her, "Mother, don't worry. With Ah Jin here, we will definitely be able to find Ah Yan and the others."

Madam Huo said with some regret: "We shouldn't have let them go out today."

"Madam, the young mistress and the others are back." A maid ran in to report.

Madam Huo was delighted when she heard this and asked, "Are they back? Are they injured?"

"Grandma, we are not hurt." Luo Chaoyan, Huo Rui and others walked in.

Mrs. Huo saw that they were all dirty and couldn't help but asked distressedly, "What happened?"

Huo An smiled and said, "Grandma, we are fine. We made ourselves like this to hide our tracks."

Mrs. Huo nodded and said, "That's good."

Madam Huo said sternly, "Kyoto has been in turmoil recently. You are not allowed to leave the house anymore."

Luo Chaoyan nodded and said, "I understand, grandma!" On the way back, Huo Jin told them that the guards ahead were attacked by the army. Fortunately, she was more careful and did not come back with the guards, otherwise they might have really become prisoners.

…

A month later, the prince indeed led his troops to rebel, but fortunately the Liang army received the news from Tutor Huo and deployed in advance, delaying their plan to besiege the capital and waiting for the arrival of 100,000 troops from Xiangyuan City.

King Huai saw that the time was not right and decided to stop early.

Pilgrimage to the Temple

Emperor Qing looked at the prince kneeling on the ground with disappointment on his face.

The attendant read out the imperial edict, "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Crown Prince Gao Luan was disloyal and unfilial and plotted rebellion and forced the emperor to abdicate. He is deposed as Crown Prince and must spend the rest of his life guarding the Emperor's mausoleum to repent. This is decreed!"

The prince bowed to Emperor Qing with red eyes and said, "Thank you, father, for not killing me!"

Emperor Qing waved his hand.

The prince then stood up and was taken out.

Emperor Qing looked at Prince Huai who looked uneasy and said, "Prince Huai, considering that you have corrected your mistakes, you will leave today to garrison Yongzhou and you are not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial decree."

King Huai's face turned pale and he said, "Your son obeys your order."

Emperor Qing stroked his forehead exhausted and said, "Dismiss the court!"

Five years later

Huo's Backyard

A little girl tiptoed cautiously to the gate of the courtyard. She first stretched her neck to see if anyone was waiting for her.

Seeing that there was no one there, she breathed a sigh of relief.

But as soon as she walked into the yard, she saw Luo Chaoyan sitting in front of the stone table, staring at her with fiery eyes, "Huo Ning, you still remember to come back!"

Huo Ning shuddered in fear at the sound of gnashing teeth. It’s over, I was caught red-handed.

She raised a lovely smile, walked forward and took Luo Chaoyan's hand, looking filial, and said: "Mom, it's so hot today, why are you waiting for me here?"

Luo Chaoyan waved her hand away and said angrily, "Tell me, where did you go to have fun?"

Huo Ning was considering whether she should be honest or more tactful.

She laughed dryly and said, "Mom, I didn't go anywhere. I just went out for a walk with my brothers."

Luo Chaoyan slammed the table and said, "You're not telling the truth yet, are you?"

Huo Ning touched his nose and said, "Just... I just had a fight with someone!"

"With whom?" Luo Chaoyan glared at her with gritted teeth.

Huo Ning pursed her lips and said, "Li Yan!"

"Mom, you don't know how hateful Li Yan is. He actually bullies other girls. I am just doing justice for the heaven." m.

"If he bullies someone, you wouldn't let your brothers do it. Why would a little girl like you do that..." Ugh, she was so angry that she was confused.

Luo Chaoyan said angrily: "Huo Ning, you are just a three-year-old girl, and you spend the whole day going out to fight with others. How can this be disgraceful! Do you still have any sense of being a girl from an aristocratic family?"

Huo Ning was unconvinced and said, "Mom, I am helping the weak when I see injustice!"

Luo Chaoyan remembered that when Madam Li brought her son who was beaten black and blue to complain today, she wanted to beat the naughty boy up. She gritted her teeth and said, "Starting tomorrow, you are not allowed to go anywhere. Stay in the mansion and learn the rules."

Huo Ning frowned and said, "Mom, I heard from Aunt Feng that you have been active since you were a child, and you always wanted to go out and play. I learned this from you, so you can't restrict me."

Pineapple, who was standing aside, immediately felt the fierce gaze from the young lady.

She quickly waved her hands and said, "Miss, although the young lady liked to go out and play when she was young, she never fought with others." No way!

Huo Ning put her hands on her hips and said, "Aunt Feng, you are lying. You clearly didn't say that that day."

Luo Chaoyan pinched her waist and glared at her, saying, "Stop giving me these nonsense excuses. Now go back to your room and practice calligraphy for me."

Huo Ning puffed up her cheeks and said, "Mom, Daddy said, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you!"

"I think you're itching for a fight and are looking for a beating!" Luo Chaoyan rolled up her sleeves and wanted to hit someone.

Fengli hurriedly stopped her and said, "Young Madam, the young lady is still young, it is normal for her to be a little naughty." As she said that, she winked at Huo Ning.

"Pineapple, go away. If I don't teach her a lesson today, I will take her surname." Luo Chaoyan said angrily.

Huo Ning chuckled and said, "Mom, you are originally from the Huo Luo family, so you have the same surname as me."

Just as she was about to run, she saw Huo Jin and Huo An coming towards her. Oh, her brother is really reliable and knows how to get help for her.

“Daddy!”

"Daddy, wuwu...Mom is going to hit me." Huo Ning complained while hugging Huo Jin.

Luo Chaoyan said: "This girl is lawless. She just knows how to stir up trouble all day long." What sin did she commit to give birth to such a troublemaker, whose naughty temper is even more disliked than Huo Rui when he was little. Today, he either beat up someone else's child or climbed into someone else's yard to make trouble, and he was just short of tearing down someone else's yard.

Huo Jin said: "Ayan, Ning'er is still young!"

He smiled and rubbed his daughter's head, saying, "Ning'er, you've made your mother angry. Hurry up and admit your mistake to her."

Huo Ning's eyes turned, and then he bowed to Luo Chaoyan and said, "Mother, Ning'er is wrong."

Luo Chaoyan said: "Okay, if you know you are wrong, copy the calligraphy in your room for me."

Huo Ning looked at Huo Jin for help.

Huo Jin coughed lightly and said, "Ayan, Ning'er's pen grip is still not very stable, why don't you practice later."

Huo An smacked his lips. Why had he never been treated like this before?

"No!" Luo Chaoyan said, "If you do something wrong, you should be punished. Otherwise, you may get into trouble again someday!"
