Chapter 324 An Unnatural Death
Hu Mo no longer wanted to call him uncle.
Ever since he found out that Hu Jiatai had listened to a woman like Jiniang and murdered the old master of the Hu family, he had kicked Hu Jiatai out of his family.
He would rather not have such cruel and heartless family members.
"Okay. I don't actually have anything to ask him." Fu Zhaoning thought about it and agreed.
Hu Jiatai's face changed a little.
It was only at this time that he realized that he didn't dare to see his father at all.
Moreover, he thought that even if his father was rescued and brought back to the palace by Prince Jun, he would not be able to hold on for long because his injuries were too severe and he was poisoned. How could he hold on at such an old age?
He always thought that the old master Hu was already dead at this time.
I didn't expect that he was still alive? And awake? And wanted to see him?
"I don't see it. What is there to see?"
Hu Jiatai immediately objected.
Hu Mo sneered at the door, "Why, do you feel ashamed to see Grandpa? Are you guilty? Do you dare not take the responsibility for what you did?"
"Xiao Mo, I'm your elder, how do you talk to me?!"
"Bah!"
Hu Mo made a sound, he couldn't believe it.
"How dare you act like an elder in front of me at this time? How can you be so shameless? I am the head of the Hu family now. I have sent a letter back to the Hu family and announced to the world that you are no longer a member of our Hu family!"
Hu Mo's face darkened as he turned around and walked out, "Miss, I'll carry Grandpa over here."
Fu Zhaoning stepped aside.
Soon, Hu Mo came over carrying the old master Hu.
Hu Jiatai subconsciously glanced at Patriarch Hu and was shocked to find that his face was still quite rosy? !
"Dad..." he called out, his voice trembling a little.
“I don’t deserve it.”
Mr. Hu sat on the chair and nodded to Fu Zhaoning to express his gratitude.
"Do you need me to get out of here?" Fu Zhaoning asked.
Hu Lao waved his hand, "No need. Princess Jun, such a big scandal in our Hu family cannot be hidden. You already know the inside story, so there is no need to avoid you. You stay here and listen. If there is anything that you and Prince Jun need to know, you don't have to ask again."
When Fu Zhaoning heard him say that, he stayed in the room and didn't go out.
Hu Jiatai felt that he was simply insulted.
"Dad, this is our family affair. You can ask me whatever you want. What's the point of letting her stay here? She killed Jiniang."
"Well done!"
Hu Lao interrupted him angrily, he clenched his hands and glared at Hu Jiatai.
"You still consider that woman a family member? She and you are a family, and none of you are my Hu family! Have you forgotten that you poisoned me and chased me with masks on? After doing such a treasonous thing, you have forgotten it yourself, right?"
"You think I can't recognize you because you didn't use your usual weapons and kung fu? You think my eyes are blurry, don't you?"
"Dad, we are not the only ones chasing you. When we found you, you were already seriously injured. Jiniang said that you might not survive. Rather than letting you suffer and die, we should..."
puff.
If he wasn't talking about his father's murder, Fu Zhaoning would have almost burst out laughing.
Hu Mo couldn't bear it anymore, so he took a step forward, raised his hand and slapped him hard in the face.
"Hu Jiatai, has your brain been eaten by a poisonous insect?! You saw Grandpa was seriously injured, but instead of saving him, you even thought about stabbing him again? How could you say such a thing so shamelessly? How could there be such a shameless person like you in the world?"
puff.
Hu Jiatai spat out a mouthful of blood.
If grandpa didn't have something to ask, Hu Mo would have wanted to beat him to death.
Hu Lao closed his eyes, and when he opened them, his eyes were a little moist.
Hu Mo looked at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Grandpa, you gave birth to a son, you still have my father, my third uncle, my fourth uncle and us brothers."
I really can't treat this person as a family member anymore, otherwise I will only be mad at myself.
"I see. I just want to ask him, the eldest brother's wife fell ill after coming to the capital, and died not long after. Is her death related to Ji Niang?"
Old Master Hu asked a question that surprised them all.
No one expected that he would suddenly ask about the late Madam Yuan Hu.
Hu Jiatai also looked at him blankly.
"You don't have to keep looking at me like this. I've been thinking about a lot of things these days. When the eldest wife was still alive, you happened to meet Ji Niang outside and said that she knew how to detoxify, so you asked her to go home and see the eldest wife. Not long after, the eldest wife died. Of course, we didn't doubt Ji Niang at that time. After all, we had invited many doctors before her, and all of them said that they couldn't cure her."
They really had no doubts before.
Ji Niang also said that it cannot be cured, just like the other doctors.
But she was the last one to be seen by the eldest son's wife, and then she died.
They all thought that maybe the time had come and that the patient would indeed die if he could not be cured. However, when Hu Lao was hovering on the brink of life and death these days, he thought a lot and suddenly felt that this was a suspicious point.
Because Ji Niang actually knew how to poison.
"How could it be related to Jiniang? Nothing had happened between me and Jiniang at that time. I did nothing wrong to her when my lady was alive." Hu Jiatai struggled.
Hu Lao looked at him for a few seconds and said, "I believe you don't know. This means that you were most likely deceived by that woman back then."
"No, no, Jiniang wouldn't lie to me, she's doing this for my own good!"
"Okay, if you continue to think this way, I can't control you, but I just want to ask, when the eldest daughter-in-law came to the capital, did she tell you who she met and what happened? If you are still thinking about the children at home, think about it carefully and tell me."
When Hu Lao brought up the children of the eldest wife in the family, Hu Jiatai's face changed.
It was also at this time that he remembered that he had a child.
"Madam came to the capital that year to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, but the Queen Mother suddenly felt unwell that year, the birthday banquet was cancelled, and Madam went back. After she went back, she did seem to be worried. I was angry at the time, thinking that she had come to the capital and was blinded by the prosperity of the capital, and she disliked me."
Hu Jiatai thought about what happened back then. "No matter how I asked her, she always said that it didn't happen. But before she died, she told me that it was right for you to control the descendants of the Hu family and follow the instructions of Grandpa and not let them go to the capital to serve as officials."
Hu Mo looked at Hu Lao.
This means that something really happened, otherwise why would my aunt-in-law suddenly say such a thing?
"What else did she say?"
"No, I didn't say anything."
"Think about it again!" Old Hu slammed the table.
"She said it would be better if she died, otherwise she would be afraid that she would say something wrong one day!" Hu Jiatai blurted out.
