Chapter 945
The millions of people in Yunnan would have lost their lives if things had been delayed even a moment longer. Even without Huo Yue, she could not abandon the safety of so many people for her own selfish desires.
But as a mother, it's hard for her not to feel despair, and it's hard for her not to take her anger out on someone.
Because if she didn't do it this way, she wouldn't have survived.
Life went on like this, in a stalemate. Later, Huo Shu got married, and after attending the ceremony, she locked herself in the courtyard again.
However, with Chen Qiang by their side, the family finally came alive again.
Chen Qiang was a very good maid. Knowing about the old stories of the Prince's Mansion, she never mentioned them and would always go to keep her company every few days.
With Chen Qiang present, Zhong Jie felt as if she were seeing her own daughter, and the deathly aura around her finally faded a little.
Looking back now, those years still seem like a bleak and hopeless period.
Zhong Jie closed her eyes, pulling herself out of her memories: "The Huo family's affairs have nothing to do with the Princess."
Consort Jing sighed softly, "It must be tough... But Huo Zhao's life isn't easy either."
Zhong Jie suddenly looked up.
Noticing that her gaze had fallen on her, Consort Jing smiled slightly: "Does Madam know that Huo Zhao was hidden in the courtyard next door at that time?"
If Madam had lingered just a moment longer and sent people to search, she would have found it.
That way, the mother and daughter wouldn't have had to be separated for so many years.
Zhong Jie's pupils constricted.
Consort Jing shifted to a more comfortable position and picked up her teacup: "Also, do you know what would happen to Huo Zhao if it weren't for the Chen couple?"
She would be sent to the mountains and raised like livestock, just like pigs and sheep.
Both the prince and princess are exceptionally beautiful, so she will naturally be just as stunning when she grows up. At that time, she will be sent to town.
Those places in town that cater to the lewd and uncouth will be her final resting place in this life, hahahahahahahaha—"
In the end, Consort Jing couldn't help but laugh out loud.
However, Zhong Jie's face was deathly pale, without a trace of color.
Jing Guiren's laughter was extremely grating, but Zhong Jie seemed to be controlled by something unseen, and couldn't even go up and slap her to tell her to stop laughing.
She had absolutely no strength left in her body.
Consort Jing was completely oblivious to her silent breakdown and continued talking—
"It's a pity. I thought that old woman was capable, but I didn't expect her to be so useless. She was so scared that she actually abandoned Huo Zhao by the roadside, and then the Chen couple picked her up and took her back."
However, does the princess think that Huo Zhao has been living a good life since he was taken in by the Chen couple?
My men have been keeping watch outside the whole time...
Thanks to the Chen couple for raising her well, much better than raising her like an animal, she can be sold for a good price.
My people are just waiting for her to grow up so they can send her to her final resting place...
But who would have thought that the Yun family would suddenly appear out of nowhere!
At that time, the Yun family held the position of Minister of Revenue, a position of great power and influence. Her subordinates dared not provoke them and could only watch helplessly as she was taken away by the Yun family and brought to Luoyang.
Not long after arriving in Luoyang, he was sent to the Marquis's residence again.
Later, although she went out a few times, she always went to busy areas. Even if she had the audacity to order her men to capture her by any means necessary, they would still have to think twice before taking action.
Therefore, the matter has not been resolved.
To this day, Huo Zhao has not only grown up unharmed, but has even been found by the Huo family and is once again living a life of luxury.
Consort Jing let out a long breath, though her breathing was still somewhat unsteady.
Looking back on Huo Zhao's journey, I now understand what it means to be lucky.
