Chapter 125
Marshal Huo could not bring himself to attack or kill his second concubine, much less take his anger out on Huo Jingfeng.
Huo Jingzhou scoffed at Huo Dashuai's words, showing no respect for this old man, "Is it my mother who's having a mental breakdown, or are you unable to control your lower body?"
"You unfilial son!"
General Huo angrily threw his cigarette holder at Huo Jingzhou, but he avoided hitting him.
Huo Jingzhou ignored his impotent rage; he hadn't come today to ask for his permission.
He only needs the girl's approval to marry Wen Xin; what use is it if others disagree?
Who can influence Huo Shaoshuai's decision?
Huo Jingzhou's expression was cold. "If you don't want Huo Jingfeng to really die at my hands, then keep an eye on him."
Commander Huo roared, "Huo Jingzhou!"
Huo Jingzhou's tone remained cold and indifferent, "You know I'm not just saying that."
It was precisely because General Huo knew this that he felt his hands and feet were even colder.
He pleaded with difficulty, "Jingzhou, Jingfeng is your own younger brother."
Huo Jingzhou remained indifferent and unmoved.
He was cold-hearted by nature; even his own father might not have much affection for him, let alone a half-brother.
Moreover, he and Huo Jingfeng were not close since childhood.
When they were children, Huo Jingfeng's many petty antics out of jealousy only made Huo Jingzhou feel indifferent.
"Ten years ago, if you hadn't sent Huo Jingfeng abroad in time, would he still be alive today?"
At Huo Jingzhou's cold voice, Huo Dashuai swayed.
No one knew that Huo Jingfeng would go abroad, not because he was particularly outstanding, nor because Marshal Huo had high expectations for him.
It was General Huo who did it to save his life.
Ten years ago, not long after Huo Jingzhou took command of the army, Huo Jingfeng colluded with a general to snipe his own elder brother on the battlefield.
However, Huo Jingzhou was always suspicious and would never easily trust anyone, so in the end, it was he who killed that general.
The reason is that Huo Jingfeng, who was only fifteen years old, was so audacious as to collude with military generals and embezzle the pensions of fallen soldiers.
Huo Jingzhou found out about his affair, and Huo Jingfeng was afraid that his cold-blooded older brother would punish him without mercy, so he decided to strike first!
Furthermore, if Huo Jingzhou dies, wouldn't the Huo family become his?
If it weren't for Commander Huo's excellent intelligence at the time, who captured Huo Jingfeng, gave him a severe beating, and sent him away in the middle of the night while he was still seriously injured, Huo Jingzhou would never have spared his life.
Just because a lot of time has passed doesn't mean Huo Jingzhou has lost his memory.
To still try to talk to him about brotherhood now is a complete joke!
Commander Huo's face grew increasingly ashen.
He choked up, almost pleading, "Jingzhou, please spare your brother's life no matter what. I'm begging you."
Marshal Huo knew all too well what kind of stubborn Huo Jingfeng was. Even if he was willing to restrain him, his son was grown up and no longer under his father's control; he couldn't keep an eye on him.
Huo Jingfeng couldn't possibly stay quiet any longer; it was only a matter of time before he offended Huo Jingzhou.
General Huo was terrified of seeing his sons fight each other.
However, Huo Jingzhou's expression remained cold, unmoved by his own father's reaction.
Commander Huo: "..."
He scratched his head. "Isn't it enough that I promised to let you marry Xiaoxin?"
Huo Jingzhou looked at him calmly, as if asking: What can you do if you disagree?
Commander Huo choked on his own blood, pointing at this rebellious son!
"Look at how kind and gentle Xiaoxin is. What would she think if she knew you were beating and killing your own brother?"
Wen Xin said: "Go, young marshal! Crush that bastard Huo Jingfeng to death!"
However, Huo Shaoshuai was unaware of the ruthlessness hidden in his beloved young girl's heart, and he remained uncharacteristically silent.
Commander Huo pressed his advantage, "Jingzhou, don't think your father doesn't know. Jingfeng's actions, even going so far as to publish a notice in the newspaper to annul the engagement, were part of that, weren't they?"
He's not involved in things now, but he's not blind or stupid!
Huo Jingzhou looked at him with cold eyes.
Commander Huo: "Hey, you're threatening your own father? Would I betray you?"
Huo Jingzhou turned and left the study, leaving behind a casual remark, "As long as he doesn't cross my bottom line."
But if Huo Jingfeng really looks for death, then don't blame him!
General Huo sat in his chair, looking up at the ceiling, sighing repeatedly.
It's all a tragedy!
...
"Breaking news! Breaking news! Yesterday, the eldest daughter of the Wen family personally went to the Huo family to annul her engagement. The second concubine of the Huo family was kicked out of the house by Marshal Huo, and the second young master was severely beaten and forced to kneel in the ancestral hall. Marshal Huo declared that his son was not good enough for her, and that the eldest daughter of the Wen family had always been like his own daughter..."
At dawn, the newspaper boy's loud voice heralds the start of a bustling day in Haicheng.
The whole of Haicheng has been gossiping about the Huo family these past two days.
They still felt sorry for Wen Xin yesterday.
Even if she comes from a good family and is very wealthy, she is still disliked by the second young master Huo.
Moreover, with the Wen family head being brutally murdered by the Ghost Army, the decline of the Wen family was only a matter of time. How long could Wen Xin, a weak woman, protect such a vast fortune?
Sooner or later she'll have to find a husband's family to rely on, but now that she's been rejected by the Huo family, is it possible for her to marry a good one?
Who knew that the very next day would bring such a dramatic turn of events?
The Huo family clearly favored her as their daughter-in-law. The annulment of the engagement was only Huo Ershao's own decision, which angered his own father and even implicated his own mother.
I heard that Marshal Huo is also very fond of the eldest daughter of the Wen family. For her sake, he not only gave his own younger brother a good beating yesterday, but also took her to live in his private mansion.
Forget about Marshal Huo, but who exactly is the young lady of the Wen family to be so favored by that abstinent, cold, and unapproachable Marshal Huo?
Now, no one in Haicheng dared to underestimate Wen Xin anymore; they were filled with envy and jealousy.
Everyone knows that although Marshal Huo is still in charge of the Huo family, the real master has long since been replaced by Young Marshal Huo.
It can be said that anyone who gets Huo Shaoshuai's protection can do whatever they want in Haicheng.
Wen Xin: "!!!"
It's not a crab, it doesn't walk sideways!
However, she looked at the newspaper in her hand with surprise on her face.
Marshal Huo actually managed to kick his second concubine out?
Yesterday, she could tell that Marshal Huo was very angry, but he still had feelings for his second wife; he was more disappointed in her than anything else.
After she pleaded for them, Marshal Huo also backed down and didn't mention driving away the second concubine and Huo Jingfeng again, clearly showing that he was reluctant to part with them.
Did something happen last night?
The newspaper was snatched from her hand, and Huo Jingzhou's cold voice came through.
"Why didn't you eat breakfast?"
Wen Xin looked up and saw a handsome and dignified man in military uniform reflected in her eyes.
She smiled before speaking, "Good morning, young marshal."
Huo Jingzhou's eyes softened slightly. "Yes, good morning."
Wen Xin stood up and explained, "Aunt Qin told me you'd be back soon, so I was thinking of waiting for you to have breakfast together."
