Chapter 253 The Huo family has a successor?
Whenever Huo Tianling thought of Princess Qingyuan's promise, his heart was filled with emotion.
For this reason, he specifically requested permission to return to Xijing City that year and deliberately approached Yun Zhiwei, just to facilitate the acquisition of more intelligence...
Unexpectedly, the woman actually fell in love with him and said she wanted to ask Emperor Liang for permission to marry her?
Everything happened faster than he expected...
Qingyuan is jealous and cannot tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. Even if she knows that he is trying to pretend to marry her, she will not give up!
Treason is a capital crime! He can't risk his identity being revealed by staying in Daliang!
So he had no choice but to give up everything in Daliang and fake his death to escape!
His father has passed away, but he has thought about his mother. Yun Zhiwei, the stupid woman who ruined his plans, is the support he left for his mother and the Huo family.
If he were to ask himself honestly, he felt that he was worthy of the words "benevolence and filial piety"!
After calming down, Huo Tianling suddenly looked at Madam Huo with a serious face: "Mother, I came back this time to ask you something very important..."
He glanced at Huo Tianheng who had his ears perked up, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
The eldest brother is his mother's most beloved child. Even if his mother hides something from him, it is always for his own good.
If my eldest brother really wants to know something, how can she hide it from him as long as it is known by our mother?
Huo Tianling put aside his guard against Huo Tianheng and looked directly at Madam Huo: "Mother, you helped me fake my death and escape, and arranged two funeral processions to confuse people..."
"The empty coffin was buried in public, and I swallowed a drug that caused me to fake my death, was hidden in another coffin, and was sent out of Xijing City..."
Seeing Mrs. Huo's evasive gaze, Huo Tianling's voice gradually deepened. "But when I woke up, there were only a few pieces of coarse cloth and some small amounts of silver in the coffin... Mother, where are the 'funerary objects' that I specially ordered to be placed in the coffin?"
"You should know that the things in my coffin are all royal property and cannot be sold in Daliang!"
Those banknotes were his savings from half his life of military service, and those items that were inconvenient to dispose of were all gifts from Yun Zhiwei...
When he woke up from the coffin, he found that there was only a worthless rag bundle beside him. He knew without his confidant telling him that it must be his mother who took away his belongings!
No matter whether she embezzled his money for herself or for her eldest son... so many years have passed, and considering the relationship between mother and son, he is not willing to care about it anymore!
but……
"Mother, money is just external possessions..."
"The reason I didn't leave you enough money back then was because I knew Yun Zhiwei was loyal and would definitely help and take care of you..."
"Secondly, I've just arrived in Yan State, and I need to take care of everything... It wouldn't be nice to ask Princess Qingyuan for something in return for money, and then incur the contempt and disgust of the King of Yan..."
"Now that my son has established himself in Yan State, I have returned to the capital to take you there to enjoy happiness and to let you meet your grandson!"
? ?
My dear grandson! ?
Mrs. Huo's eyes, which had been dodging, suddenly burst into light. She was so excited that she subconsciously wanted to get up, but the wound on her back was pulled and she hissed in pain.
Her tearful eyes stared at Huo Tianling without blinking, and her voice trembled violently as she spoke: "Good boy, are you really...really having a son?!"
I thought the Huo family bloodline would be cut off with Tianheng's generation, but I didn't expect that the third brother already had a son!
Good thing!
What a great thing!!
Her Huo family also had loyal and heroic people... God must have had a good heart!
"Tian Ling, how old is my precious grandson this year? What's his name? Did he come back with you?"
Mrs. Huo's eyes were filled with anticipation.
A cold light flashed in Huo Tianling's eyes, he bit his back teeth, and his jaw line suddenly tensed.
He subconsciously clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned a creepy bluish-white color.
Humph! That little bastard is back!
He is exactly like his willful mother!
He actually followed him all the way and boldly sneaked into the territory of Daliang!
Daliang and Yan have always been at odds... Could anyone from the Yan royal family come to the Daliang Dynasty? What if something goes wrong?!
Veins bulged on Huo Tianling's forehead.
This mother and son are both more troublesome than the other!
The big ones act recklessly, and the small ones follow suit... They are all here to collect their debts!!
Facing Madam Huo's expectant eyes, Huo Tianling never mentioned his son Baili Chi...
"Mother, I should give you those gold, silver and jewelry as a token of my filial piety..."
"But the purple copper Qilin incense burner that Yun Zhiwei gave me contains a border defense map that could cost the lives of our entire Huo family..."
His gaze was as cold as a knife, as if he were looking at a dead person. He looked at his biological mother who had ruined his plan with a sinister look: "Mother, the map is still very useful today. I only want the incense burner! Where did you put it?"
He returned to Beijing this time just for that border map.
With that defense map, no matter whether Yan State will attack Daliang or not, he can completely win the trust of King Yan!
Chi'er will be twelve years old this New Year. If he delays any further, even if he can inherit the throne of Yan Kingdom in the future, how can he listen to his father's words?!
"..." Border defense map? Royal property? Huo Tianheng swallowed hard, cold sweat breaking out.
During the day, he ordered someone to give his mother a calming soup. When the housekeeper counted his mother's private treasury in front of him, he did see an extremely exquisite incense burner.
It turns out that the incense burner was originally from the palace... and it even contained a border defense map...
No wonder she reacted so strongly when he ordered the housekeeper to pry into his mother's private vault!
Reselling palace items is already a serious crime... let alone leaking border secrets...
If someone gets hold of the incense burner and discovers the secret inside... that would be a heinous crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan!
This third brother of his is so bold! He is such a liar!
The more Huo Tianheng thought about it, the more frightened he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he absolutely could not hide it...
"Third brother, the family has been really struggling financially lately... I'm unaware of the situation, but I just ordered someone to sell that incense burner today..."
"What!?" Huo Tianling stood up suddenly, murderous aura surrounding him.
Madam Huo and Huo Tianheng both shrank their necks. The room suddenly became eerily quiet, and even their breathing could be heard clearly.
Huo Tianling clenched his fists until they creaked, then turned around and walked out of the house.
Fortunately, Princess Qingyuan followed him all the way and brought many guards with her. He now took Butler Qin to find the incense burner!
Looking at Huo Tianling's cold and hard back, Mrs. Huo's heart trembled. She forced her teeth to chatter and asked hurriedly: "Tianling, you haven't told me yet, what is my grandson's name..."
It’s already this time...
"..." Huo Tianling turned around suddenly, with a cold light in his eyes.
He lowered his eyes and glared at his mother, sneering, "My son's surname isn't Huo...his name is Baili Chi!"
Mrs. Huo: “???”
Not surnamed Huo... How could a child of the Huo family not have the surname Huo?!
Boom——!!
Old Madam Huo was struck by lightning, her eyes rolled back and she fainted immediately!
On the roof, little Tangbao was so angry that his face turned pale...
My aunt waited patiently for the man surnamed Huo for nearly ten years, and this scoundrel actually had a child! ?
No! She wants to find her aunt and expose this big bad guy!
The little guy was very angry and just as he was about to speak, Chengfeng covered his mouth.
