Chapter 294 I Hate To Die

Although the boy's voice was low, Huo Xun could hear it clearly, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.

Calmly, he picked off a small dry ball from a plant beside him, and shot it quickly at the servant's leg.

"Who!"

The boy was muttering, when suddenly there was a pain in his leg, he hurriedly looked around, but found nothing abnormal.

However, just after he took a few steps, his other leg was hit again, and he was furious: "Damn it, who is behind Lao Tzu's back!"

The servant looked suspiciously at Huo Xun for a moment, and seeing that he was fine, he became even more puzzled, but seeing that there was no one else around except the two of them, a look of panic suddenly flashed across his face, and he didn't care about anything else , immediately quickened his pace and took Huo Xun away.

"General, you are back! You should hurry up and have a look, the master is making a fuss about hanging himself right now, no matter how hard my aunt can't hold it back!"

As soon as Huo Xun returned to the mansion, he saw his housekeeper running out of the door anxiously, and rushed over as soon as he saw him.

After hearing what the other party said, Huo Xun unconsciously grabbed the other party's collar: "What's going on? Why did the master hang himself!"

The butler glanced at the crowd who hurriedly lowered their heads and dared not speak, and hesitation immediately flashed across his face: "General, what is the reason for this, you should ask the master yourself!"

Hearing this, Huo Xun sent the people away and hurried to Huo Ming's yard.

"Master, what are you going to do? You said that if you die like this, what will you do as a concubine..."

Before entering the room, the sound of Liu's crying came from the study, Huo Xun's heart trembled again, he stepped into the room with a few steps, and immediately saw the situation inside clearly.

I saw that the small study room was already full of maids and women. Huo Ming tightly held on to the white silk hanging from the beam of the room and did not let go. The reaction was like a stiff wooden man.

"Everyone in the room get out!"

Everyone surrounded Xiao Ming and wept together with Mrs. Liu, the babbling noise made Huo Xun's head swell, and with a sharp shout, the room fell into silence.

When the little maids saw Huo Xun, they immediately retreated knowingly, while Mrs. Liu hurriedly stood up as if seeing the backbone, and asked Huo Xun for help.

"Ah Xun, you can be regarded as coming back, please persuade the master quickly! He knew that the matter of you and Ruan'er's reconciliation had become like this, and he kept saying that it was all his fault, and then he wanted to ask for death. I can't hold it back at all."

Liu's face was full of anxiety, Xu just kept pushing and shoving when he stopped Huo Ming just now, his clothes and hair were a little messy, a pearl flower in his hair was hanging obliquely around his neck, he was really in a bit of a mess.

Huo Xun observed Huo Ming's face carefully, and saw that he was breathing steadily, and there were no marks on his neck, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said politely to Mrs. Liu: "Auntie has worked hard, you go back first, Just leave it to me here."

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu let out a long sigh of relief, looked back at Huo Ming uneasy, and finally left the room with all the maids.

As everyone left, the study room instantly became quiet, and Huo Xun sighed and walked forward slowly.

"Father, hasn't your son already said it? You don't have to worry about this matter, I will definitely solve it, but what are you doing?"

Huo Ming didn't answer immediately, but turned his head slowly, staring at Huo Xun's eyes, his lips trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Huo Xun helped him to the side seat and sat down, Huo Ming's eyes moved suddenly, he broke away from his hand, and his face was full of sadness: "Ah Xun, don't you lie to me, I don't care about anything. Got it... If it wasn't for me, you and Ruan'er wouldn't have to be separated..."

"Father, it's not your fault. It's Zhao Yan's shamelessness. If it wasn't for his design, why would we be in such a situation?"

Huo Xun suddenly regretted it for a while, if he had been able to hide this matter well at the beginning, his father would not have been so frightened.

"Stop comforting me..."

Huo Ming shook his head sadly, turned his gaze to Huo Xun, and unconsciously tightened the hand holding Bai Ling.

"Ah Xun, I can't drag you down anymore. I have thought about this matter carefully, and it's not that there is no way to solve it. As long as...as long as I die, the queen can no longer frame me, and the emperor will also see it." I will not pursue this matter because I have done my duty for the court for so many years..."

"Father, what are you talking about? Do you really think that as long as you die, they will have nothing to do? At that time, Zhao Yan will spread rumors in the capital that his son forced you to death. I'm afraid I can't wash it off even more!"

Huo Xun never expected that Huo Ming would have such an idea, so he hurriedly tried to persuade him.But Huo Ming shook his head again, with determination in his eyes.

"You are wrong. No matter what kind of rumors, it is better than committing the crime of implicating the nine clans. Father has been cornered by them now. Only in this way can we turn defeat into victory..."

"Since the father already knew that his son and Ruan Er had reconciled, why did he let his son lose his father?"

Huo Xun interrupted Huo Ming, sighed and persuaded again: "I am reconciled with Ruan'er, and we can get back together after this matter is resolved, but if my father leaves like this, wouldn't my son be able to see you again?" What's more, the brothers and sisters are still young, if the father goes, what will they do? Father, please think twice!"

"For my father..."

Perhaps it was because Huo Xun suddenly mentioned Aunt Liu's son and daughter, Huo Ming was stunned for a moment, and a look of reluctance immediately appeared in his eyes.

The big house of the South Korean government was not rich in heirs. After the Zhou family gave birth to two children, there was no fetal appearance. After that, Huo Xun's brother was killed, and Huo Xun was the only one left in the big house.

In order to increase the heirs of the big house, Huo Ming accepted Mrs. Liu as his aunt.

Mrs. Liu's belly was also considered to be good, and in the second year she gave birth to a son and a daughter. The birth of the pair of children made the lifeless eldest room a little more angry, and gradually calmed down Huo Ming's melancholy and anxious heart.

The son and daughter Liu gave birth to were also quite loved by Huo Ming, especially during the years when Huo Xun joined the army, the two of them were always by Huo Ming's side, and their relationship was naturally very deep.

Hearing Huo Xun mentioning the two of them at this time, Huo Ming's face suddenly revealed a look of reluctance.

Huo Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and added fuel to his anger: "Father, my son has already thought of a way to deal with Duke Huai. You just have to trust your son, and within three months, I will be able to resolve this matter with minimal loss."

"You, you really have a solution?"

Clearly not believing Huo Xun's words, Huo Ming looked at Huo Xun with worried eyes for a long time.But seeing the other party nodding slightly to him, Huo Ming finally let go of Bai Ling's hand, and turned his head to one side...

Exhausted and returning to his yard, Huo Xun sat slumped on a chair, staring at the void in front of him, lost in thought.

Now that Xiao Ruan has left, he has nothing to worry about in the entire Lu family. If it is not resolved as soon as possible, Zhao Yan's revenge may come sooner rather than later.

"Li Yan! Prepare pen and ink!"

At the same time, there was a thick woolen blanket on the stone bench somewhere in the backyard of the Lu Mansion, and a pair of chess pieces made of jade were placed on the table.

On the well-defined chessboard, a pair of jade-like hands lightly grasped the sunspots. After thinking for a moment, they were about to put them down lightly, but then they suddenly retracted them, their eyelashes trembling slightly, and finally put them down after several back and forth.

"Ruan'er's chess skills are not as good as before, I'm afraid this game is still the king's victory."

Seemingly thinking that Xiao Ruan's actions were quite ridiculous, Zhao Yan held on to a white character in his hand, and gently placed it next to Xiao Ruan's black stone, with the corners of his lips raised, Zhao Yan took half of the black stones on the chessboard go.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruan didn't panic, bit his lips lightly with his white teeth, and dropped another white puck in another place, then said: "Arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated, the prince should not be too happy."

Hearing this, Zhao Yan looked along the place where Xiao Ruan fell, and was taken aback for a moment, and the smile on the corner of his mouth grew a little more unconsciously.

"This time, the king was really careless, since you took advantage of the loophole."

Shaking his head, Zhao Yan put down the chess pieces in his hand, looked up at the woman opposite, and after a long while he said with a concerned tone: "Ruan'er looks good today, but her illness is completely gone. All right?"

The outcome has been decided, while clearing up the mess on the chessboard, he lowered his eyes and nodded: "Du Wangye Hongfu, although Ruan'er's illness has not been completely cured, but it is much better."

"That's good! In this way, the king can rest assured."

Zhao Yan nodded lightly, as if he suddenly remembered something, and suddenly changed the subject: "Ruan Er, do you know who this king saw when he passed the mansion today? This king actually saw Huo Xun."

Zhao Yan's tone seemed casual, but his eyes were fixed on Xiao Ran, and there was a cloud of indistinguishable emotions hidden in his dark pupils.

And Xiao Ruan paused his hand picking up the chess pieces, and immediately put away the smile on his face.

"My lord knows that I hate him to death, so why do you have to mention this person to spoil your mood?"

After saying that, Xiao Ruan immediately put the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard with a "bang", got up and was about to leave.

"Ruan'er! It's all the king's fault. Don't be angry. Didn't the king think that you might want to hear about Huo Xun, so..."

"My lord, don't talk about it. Ruan'er agreed to play chess with you today, but it was just because she felt uncomfortable and wanted to change her mood. I really didn't expect you to come and tease me about this matter. I trusted the wrong person, please come back!"

Zhao Yan didn't expect Xiao Ruan to turn his back on him as soon as he said so, and saw that she had left without looking back, so he hurriedly chased after her.

"Ruan'er, listen to this king's explanation, that Huo Xun lied to your feelings, this king is naturally very angry, and I don't mean to make fun of it at all, don't think too much about it!"

Zhao Yan stood in front of Xiao Ruan, only to realize that Xiao Ruan's eyes had turned red, and immediately became anxious, and apologized to her again.
