Chapter 97: Family Rules!
"Yeah." Liang Weiyuan chuckled and nodded, responding to him, "The second branch is just bringing trouble upon itself."
She had no intention of interfering, she was just being cautious for the time being.
Then Liang Weiyuan picked up the plain silk again, and her slender fingers pinched the silver needle and moved it back and forth, gradually embroidering the shape of a sachet.
Seeing this, Huo Jin tidied up, got up from the bed, and walked slowly towards the place with the help of rosewood crutches.
The window lattice filtered in the scattered warm sunlight, which fell on the woman's soft black hair, outlining her red lips and flawless face.
Seeing her slightly distracted, Huo Jin stared at her silently for a few seconds before looking at her and asking dumbly, "What are you doing?"
His wife has been making a fuss since early morning.
Not afraid of getting tired.
Liang Weiyuan raised her eyes and saw that he was able to walk on his own with the help of crutches. Her eyes were curved into crescent shapes.
"It's okay. This is a calming sachet from Heye Shen Medicine. It contains lavender, albizzia, and agarwood. It will help you calm down and recover."
She held up the sachet that had taken shape in her hand. The bamboo embroidered on the plain silk was lifelike. "When it's done, hang it by your bedside. I'll ensure you sleep well every night."
When the woman raised her eyes, the warm sunlight gently enveloped her snow-skinned cheeks, creating a soft halo that made Huo Jin's breathing slow for a moment.
There was a hint of smile on his lips, but his brows were slightly stern. "You are always so considerate."
Liang Weiyuan continued to sew the sachet with her eyes downcast: "My husband is willing to endure hardships and recover quickly. I am so happy that I can't express it in words."
"Hold on a little longer, and my husband will surely be able to return to normal."
Looking at her slightly furrowed brows when she was concentrating, Huo Jin saw a hint of warmth in her eyes.
A hoarse "hmm" sound came out of his throat. He cleared his throat and slowly walked out of the room with the help of his crutches.
His tall and straight body was wrapped in a brocade robe, his long black hair was tied under a jade crown, and a few strands of hair flew up in the wind, brushing across his angular profile.
His eyebrows were as black as ink, and when he stopped smiling, a cold aura emanated from his whole body.
Wei San straightened his neck, and when he saw that his master had recovered so well, he immediately went to greet him with excitement.
When they came to the other side of the corridor, Huo Jin took out a secret letter from his sleeve.
The edge of the envelope was outlined with an inexplicable dark pattern in cinnabar.
"Send the letter to the Anbu."
Huo Jin opened his lips in a low voice, and a hint of murderous intent flashed across his dark eyes, like two clusters of ghostly fire.
"If I wake up, it means someone will be unable to hold back and will take action."
"Master, don't worry!" Wei San frowned and respectfully took the secret letter and hid it in his arms.
When there was no one around, he quietly climbed over the wall and left.
At the same time, in the ancestral hall, the green smoke rising from the copper incense burner lingered between the beams.
Huo Siyuan was brought by two guards and knelt on a mat, his face still showing the drunkenness and embarrassment from last night.
Ever since he remembered what stupid thing he had done, his face couldn't stop trembling with worry.
He looked up and saw the old lady, and immediately crawled over to her on his knees, saying anxiously, "Grandma, I was confused last night, and I know I was wrong!"
The old lady sat upright on the armchair, her cloudy eyes narrowed, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes revealed stern anger.
Hearing Huo Siyuan's weak plea for mercy, the old lady slammed the table and said, "I admit my mistake!"
"You ruined our family's reputation and nearly killed two people. Is admitting your mistake enough?!"
She glared at Marquis Huo and Madam Yu, who stood with their heads bowed beside her. Their eyes were like knives. "And you, look at what bastards you've raised your children to be!"
Fine beads of sweat oozed from Huo Hou's forehead. He lowered his head and dared not look directly at his mother. "Mother, please calm down. It's my fault for not disciplining my children properly..."
Yu's face was also pale, and she didn't dare to say a word at this moment.
"Don't bother with me, come on, teach this evildoer a lesson!"
The old lady gave an angry order, and two stewards holding whips walked into the ancestral hall immediately.
The sound of the whip hitting Huo Siyuan's back was dull and loud, and his screams like a pig being slaughtered instantly rang out in the ancestral hall.
