Chapter 93 This young master is here again!
When the Bai family's carriage arrived at the foot of Tubei Mountain, Du Buqin was squatting on the Huo family's courtyard wall, staring at the man sitting in front of the main hall door with his eyes dim.
Do nothing, no scolding or yelling, just stare.
He didn't move for a full half hour.
Huo's heart was filled with fear. Holding her belly, she carefully moved to the man's side and whispered, "Dad, is that old man mad? He couldn't snatch his apprentice from you, so he's squatting on our wall, thinking about making a move?"
She was really nervous. "Normally I wouldn't be afraid of him. I would have fought him early in the morning, but I can't do that now. My daughter can't stand being frightened in my belly!"
"..." Huo Ziheng raised his hand and pinched his brow, feeling amused and helpless, "My wife, maybe you are not pregnant yet."
"Bah! Do you know better than me who's pregnant, you're the one in my belly? You saw me, you're the worm in my stomach? Bah! I'm pregnant! It's been 28 days!"
At this moment, Du Buqin suddenly jumped down from the wall. Huo's face turned pale and she subconsciously stood in front of the man.
Huo Ziheng stood up, reached out to help the woman away, patted the back of her hand, and said, "Go inside and rest for a while."
"But--"
"Don't worry, if he wants to attack us, we won't even have a chance to say a word. Go ahead."
Mrs. Huo usually takes care of all the big and small matters in the household. She seems to have a strong personality, but she rarely responds when a man speaks. So she walked into the house hesitantly.
After his wife entered the room, Huo Ziheng pulled a low stool from the corner and placed it opposite the small table. He gestured for her to sit down, "Master Du, please sit down."
Du Buqin glanced at him, sat down, and got straight to the point. "You, Huo Ziheng, are as famous in the inner city as Duan Dao and me. Several forces have tried to recruit you, but they haven't been able to. I heard that Bai Kui even offered you a large sum of money to be his son's tutor, but you flatly refused. But you're acting like a teacher here. What's your plan?"
Huo Ziheng smiled calmly, "What do you think I'm planning, Master Du?"
"If I knew, would I need to ask you?"
"Mr. Huo has no ill intentions."
"How can I trust you?"
"You didn't kill me outright but chose to give me a chance to answer, Du Lao. You actually believe me, don't you?" Huo Ziheng stopped smiling and turned serious. "My Shubei Huo family is known for its strategic planning. We were once world-renowned. Later, because we refused to become pawns of the powerful and get involved in power struggles, our entire family was murdered. Only I, Huo Ziheng, was lucky enough to survive. Du Lao, I am a scholar. No matter what situation I fall into, I will never lose the spirit of the Huo family. In this life, I will never bow to the powerful and never be controlled by others. I will find a place to settle down with my wife and live out the rest of my life as a free and unrestrained wanderer. This is my only wish."
"I'm not that easy to deceive. The Huo family is a noble family, but your entire clan was murdered. Have you ever thought about revenge for the Huo family?"
Huo Ziheng lowered his eyes, the corners of his eyes reddened. "The ones persecuting my Huo family are the royal families of eleven countries across the continent. Even if I, Huo Ziheng, have lofty ambitions, I can't defeat them. This life shouldn't be a precious one, but unfortunately, I have concerns and can't die."
Across the small table, there was silence for a long time.
"Sweet baby——"
"Tian Bao is extremely talented and a good seedling. If she can learn all my skills, it will be a blessing from heaven, as she has not let my Huo family's inheritance down."
After taking a deep look at the man, Du Buniu stood up and left without saying another word.
Inside the main hall, Mrs. Huo came out and stood behind the man. Her eyes were red and tears hung on her cheeks. "The Huo family... those things, you never told me."
Huo Ziheng didn't turn around. His voice was the same as it always was when he spoke to her, gentle and smiling, "The past is too heavy for me to bear alone. I feel so guilty for carrying me all these years."
"Huo Ziheng."
"Um?"
The woman pulled her sleeves roughly and wiped the wetness off her face. She sniffed and said in a rough voice, "I will treat you better in the future, and our daughter will be obedient and filial!"
"Yeah." The man turned his head, facing the backlight, and his eyes looking at her in the dark were full of tenderness.
The atmosphere is a subtle tension between sadness and sweetness.
A bird's nest suddenly popped out from over the courtyard wall. "Oh, Madam Huo, there's something I forgot to tell you. You're not pregnant, so don't walk around holding your belly all day. You look like a duck walking sideways. When I was treating your husband, he asked me to add star anise to the prescription. It's almost as effective as contraceptive soup."
Huo Ziheng's expression froze.
After the old man finished speaking, he retracted his head and left as if nothing had happened.
As soon as he left, the Huo family roared, "Huo Ziheng, I'm not done with you!!"
At the gate of the Su family's courtyard, seven or eight heads shrank back and hid behind the door at the roar.
Everyone dispersed, pretending not to hear anything.
They were hiding there just now because they were worried that Du Lao would really do something.
Now everything is fine, everyone is back, it's time to cook dinner.
The Bai family's carriage went up the road and stopped outside the Su family's courtyard. The bang bang bang bang sounds from next door had not yet stopped.
Bai Yu didn't care at all which family was fighting or whether anyone was killed. He jumped off the carriage clutching the butterfly beads he had picked out from the warehouse and swaggered towards the Su family's courtyard. "Little girl! That Tianbao, this young master is here again!"
Bai Kui followed behind, coughing lightly against his lips.
"又" is very wonderful.
The Su family had just dispersed when they heard a very familiar child's voice, and they all popped their heads out from the main room, kitchen, and vegetable garden door.
“…”
Aren't you familiar with it?
Old acquaintance.
The young master of the Bai family, who had been beaten twice by their sweet baby, is here again.
This time his mother followed him with a big one!
The man walking behind had an imposing aura. He was tall and sturdy, and he looked intimidating without even being angry. He was wearing a black brocade robe, and besides being strong and majestic, he also had a sense of nobility.
Even though the Su family had never seen Bai Kui and didn't know his specific identity, they could guess from what they saw that his status must be high.
I don’t know why these two, one big and one small, came here this time.
As the head of the family, Old Man Su stepped forward and said, "Young Master Bai, you...what are you doing?"
But please don't pick a fight with my sweet baby again.
You can't beat him!
My sweet baby can already walk and run!
Bai Yu stood in front of the old man, his height only reaching the old man's thighs, his hands behind his back, his aura surprisingly strong, reaching 1.8 meters. "This young master came to take a look—"
"Newbie?" The crisp, puzzled voice of a child killed Bai Yu's next words.
It also made the Su family's legs shorter and their mouths twitched wildly.
Isn't this just looking for trouble?
Bai Yu gritted his teeth and looked towards the source of the sound with murderous eyes.
The chubby little kid was standing on the wall next door, with his little head just poking out and two pigtails on top of his forehead.
She still looked good, making him want to tease her.
Immediately afterwards, another guy with a bird's nest hair appeared next to the little head, winking and laughing, "Hey, Bai Kui, are you bringing your son here to get beaten up this time?"
Su family, "..."
“!!!”
Bai, Bai Kui? !
The head of the Bai family, Bai Kui, the overlord of Fengyun City?
This person is here to avenge his son, oh my god!
