Huo Wuyou looked at Xue Zhiyi for help and grabbed her clothes helplessly like a spoiled husband.
"Brother." Xue Zhiyi raised his hand to stop Jiang Xu, his eyes somewhat evasive: "Or... let him kneel."
Hearing this, Jiang Xu raised two fingers and pointed at her: "It's fine if he does this, but you also..."
He hesitated to speak: "How could you and Huo Wuyou..."
Jiang Xu didn't say anything else. He just looked at Huo Wuyou, who was secretly delighted at the moment. He looked like a concubine who had successfully won favor and was now arrogant because of the favor. He was very angry.
But when facing Awan, he was afraid that this sister, with whom he was not close, would be unhappy because of something he said and would just sulk and leave.
Seeing Jiang Xu leave, Huo Wuyou became tough again: "Sui Yunlang, what are you still standing there for?"
"You..." Sui Yunlang saw that his attempt to fan the flames failed, so he could only leave in disappointment.
Xue Zhiyi withdrew his gaze and saw Huo Wuyou hurriedly put away the smugness on his face. These days, Jiang Xu seemed to be trying to break up the couple. Huo Wuyou must have been feeling very aggrieved and was trying to anger Jiang Xu.
"Did you do this on purpose?" she asked Huo Wuyou.
Huo Wuyou said confidently: "It's only right for me to pay my respects to my own father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Huo Wuyou also took three incense sticks and lit them. "Then I'll ask the elders if they're willing to marry their youngest daughter to me. If they don't curse me in my dreams tonight, it will be considered their consent."
Xue Zhiyi just clicked his tongue when he saw Huo Wuyou holding incense, his eyes closed, and seemed to be muttering something, looking very pious.
After thinking about it, she said nothing more, raised the incense, and bowed three times.
She failed to fulfill her filial duties in this life and caused her parents to die tragically while searching for her. Although it was not her fault, she felt guilty.
Looking at her parents' spirit tablets, she secretly swore that no matter what, in the days to come, she and her brother and sister would support each other, try their best to protect them, and would not let the remaining enemies go.
Among those who participated in this incident, there was still one person, Fu Wei, who was still alive. She had to see him off out of both moral and legal necessity.
