Chapter 413: Huo Yaoxing's reinforcements
The servant came over with a whip.
"My Lord, I'm sorry."
The servant raised a whip as thick as two fingers and was about to hit him on the back.
However, Huo Yaoxing refused to accept the punishment obediently.
He suddenly made a move and grabbed the bramble: "You dare to hit me?"
He pushed aside the brambles and stood up.
Huo Yaoxing's eyes were wide open and his aura was intimidating.
The servant was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly. Suddenly, his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.
Huo Yaoxing kicked him in the chest: "Get out of here!"
The servant did not dare to leave his post and looked at Marquis Jingping tremblingly.
Marquis Jin Ping's face turned ashen with anger: "What? Are you even going to disobey me, your father?"
Huo Yaoxing sneered: "Only a kind father can teach his son. My father always uses family rules on me, how can he be a father at all?
If my father wants to beat me, shouldn’t he give me a legitimate reason?”
"Reason? You vowed before that you would definitely pass the imperial examination, but you didn't even get an ordinary Jinshi. Isn't that reason enough?"
"Hahahaha..." Huo Yaoxing laughed wildly, "Is it because I didn't pass the exam? Or is it because of you, that bitch Jiang Rouer?
"You, the dignified Marquis of Jinping, actually tortured your eldest son for a bed-warming maid. I wonder how people will look at you, the renowned Marquis of Jinping, if this news gets out."
"You dare to threaten me?" Marquis Jinping couldn't believe that his eldest son, who always seemed obedient, would actually disobey him.
He snatched the whip from the servant's hand and hit Huo Yaoxing, "I will beat you to death, you disobedient and unfilial son!"
Huo Yaoxing grabbed the bramble.
The Marquis's wife, Jia, arrived late and asked, "Who are you going to kill?"
"Husband...Madam!" Marquis Jin Ping felt guilty for a moment when he saw her.
Didn't he send her out?
How did she get the news and rush over?
"You are surprised by my appearance. Have you done something that makes you feel guilty?" Jia's eyes scraped across his face like a cold knife.
Marquis Jinping lowered his eyelids when he slept, hiding his deep gaze.
A smile appeared on his face. "Madam, what are you talking about? It's just that this rebellious son has disappointed me so much that I'm just teaching him a little lesson."
"Disappointed? May I ask what my grandson has done to disappoint you to the point of threatening you with family law?" Then, an old man with white hair and tail hair walked in.
Marquis Jinping's expression changed immediately, and he bowed deeply, "Father-in-law, why are you here?"
The old man was Jia's father and Huo Yaoxing's grandfather.
"If I hadn't come, you would have beaten my precious grandson to death!" Grandpa Jia snorted coldly and walked to the main seat and sat down.
He slammed the crutch in his hand onto the ground. "If you can't give me a reasonable explanation today, don't blame me for being rude."
A look of resentment flashed across the face of Marquis Jinping.
So many years.
He had clearly already firmly controlled the Marquis of Jinping's Mansion in his own hands.
However, the Jia family still did not recognize their own status and kept telling him what to do.
Today he just wanted to teach his son a lesson. This was a family matter, and they also wanted to get involved.
Unfortunately, the Jia family has many disciples and their power is complex, so he cannot offend them easily.
And today he taught Huo Yaoxing a lesson.
The failure in the imperial examination was only a small part of the reason.
More importantly, it was because he defiled Rou'er and caused her to be unable to have children.
Rou'er is so weak, only I can protect her!
Huo Yaoxing is simply a beast.
Not only did he commit incestuous acts such as raping his father's woman, he even killed his own brother.
People who go against moral principles and have such ruthless hearts should be punished.
Unfortunately, his perfect plan had to be aborted because of the appearance of the Jia family.
At first, he didn't even dare to say the reason.
He could only pinch his leg hard and said with tears in his eyes: "Father, my love is too deep, and my criticism is too severe..."
"I had high hopes for Yao Xing. I gave him everything he wanted. He promised me nothing, but he didn't fulfill any of it. That's why I was so angry...
It's all my fault. I wanted him to mature and inherit the Marquisate sooner, but I was too hasty."
As Marquis Jinping was speaking, he began to feel aggrieved, and two lines of tears flowed down his face.
Jin Pinghou acted so sincerely that he even moved himself.
I feel like I am the best father in the world.
Unfortunately, the Jia family didn't believe a word he said.
However, he acted so conscientiously that the Jia family couldn't expose him directly.
Master Jia sighed in agreement: "Good son-in-law, I was right about you."
“Yao Xing was also wrong today, he actually dared to contradict you in the ancestral hall.
Let me make the decision today and make Yao Xing kneel in the ancestral hall for the whole night as punishment."
After saying this, without waiting for Jin Pinghou to speak, he dismissed everyone except Ying Zhilin's personal guard Xiao Zuo Huo San. "Take good care of your young master. If anything happens to him, you'll be the only one I'll hold responsible."
He was not saying this to Huo San, he was clearly referring to Marquis Jinping.
Marquis Jinping's face turned pale and blue, but he didn't dare to get angry at Lord Jia.
After all, he is his father-in-law.
He had no choice but to swallow his anger.
"Father-in-law is absolutely right."
People from the Huo and Jia families left one after another.
Huo San limped in.
After being fucked last time, Marquis Jinping punished Huo San by having him break one of his legs.
Huo San's neck is still tied with a splint.
I should have stayed in bed.
But he didn't dare disobey the order.
If I make my master unhappy, I'm afraid I'll never be able to make a comeback.
Huo Yaoxing naturally would not really kneel in the ancestral hall.
Soon, Huo San brought two cotton-padded jackets, spread them on the ground, and he lay down in them and fell asleep.
However, the candlelight in the ancestral hall was too bright, disturbing his rest.
He asked Huo San to stand next to him and help him block the candlelight.
Huo Yaoxing suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "I asked you to send someone to deal with Ying Zhilin. How's it going?"
"Don't worry, my lord. I have already arranged for someone."
After Wen Yan and the others had eaten and drunk their fill, they gathered together to chat about reading the classics.
Until Wen Yan yawned quietly.
Ying Zhilin quickly suggested that the banquet be adjourned and that academic matters be discussed another day.
Wen Yan waited for a while, then pulled them and walked two meters from here.
After saying goodbye at the door of Qingfen Building, the brothers returned to their rented courtyard.
Ying Zhilin said to Wen Yan, "I'll take you back to Qingfeng Xiaolou first."
Wen Yan shook her head and said, "You just passed the imperial examination and it's time for people to get jealous.
I'm worried about you walking alone at night.
How about this, I'll take you back to 'Yidianmo' first, and then I'll ride back to 'Qingfeng Xiaolou'."
"But……"
"Don't say but, you forgot I have this. No one can do anything to me."
Wen Yan patted his wrist.
Ying Zhilin thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you also live in 'Yidianmo'? We are husband and wife now anyway."
We live together in 'A Little Ink' and it doesn't affect our reputation."
"Okay then." Wen Yan was also impressed by his stubbornness.
Immediately, they replied together "A Little Ink".
It's already late.
There are not many pedestrians on the street anymore.
The two walked and walked until they came to a place with fewer people.
Ying Zhilin quietly held Wen Yan's hand.
