In the evening, when Huo Changsheng came back, Xia Yunhan was already dressed and waiting in the house.
"Yunhan, you have been wronged. You are trapped in this small room all the time. Are you bored?" As soon as Huo Changsheng came back, he brought a few military books to relieve Xia Yunhan's boredom.
Unexpectedly, the young man at the table stood up, grateful and apologetic.
"Master Huo, after much thought, Yun Han still feels that it is inconvenient to stay here and drag you down. My injury is not a problem. I will choose an opportunity to leave at midnight today."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Changsheng put away his original smile, "Is it because of Miss Lin?"
He had already heard about Lin Yudie's troubles. He had already seen what kind of temper that woman had. Xia Yunhan's sudden departure must have something to do with her.
"It has nothing to do with Miss Lin. It's because Yun Han doesn't want to drag down innocent people anymore. I should resolve my own affairs by myself."
Xia Yunhan frowned, but Huo Changsheng, who had always been gentle, suddenly became serious, "How do you want to solve it? General Jiang is in the limelight now. If you are motivated, you will just hit the stone with an egg. Is this what your eldest sister taught you?!"
When Xia Yunxian was mentioned, Xia Yunhan lowered his head in shame, his eyes slightly red, "...I failed the eldest sister's expectations."
"Are you afraid that you have misunderstood your eldest sister? Do you really think that she wants you to have a bright future? I believe that the only thing she wants is for you to be safe!"
This was the first time that Huo Changsheng scolded others like this. He knew that Xia Yunhan was young and at an age where he was prone to confusion and mistakes.
"You are not the only one who is suffering now. I am afraid that your eldest sister is in Beijing and is already very anxious after receiving this news!" Even Huo Changsheng did not expect that the matter of Xia Yunhan being wanted would actually cause an uproar.
Today he just received an old friend from Beijing, and the other party was also asking about this matter.
After all, General Xia still had a great reputation. As his son, Xia Yunhan's defection could be said to have brought shame to the Xia family, and the impact was self-evident.
Xia Yunhan pursed his lips tightly. In fact, his thoughts were in chaos. He thought about directly finding General Jiang, whom he had never met before, and confronting him in public. He also thought about finding the few people arranged by Bai Yujing and using their strength to leave first. Yuling.
But he never thought about going to see Xia Yunxian in such a mess.
"Eldest sister, she will definitely blame me for humiliating the Xia family." He remembered that because of Su Han's incident, he almost put the Xia family on the fire, and the eldest sister made him kneel in the ancestral hall to repent.
She respects her father so much that she will never allow anyone to ruin his reputation.
Otherwise, she would not have endured the humiliation in the Marquis Mansion for so many years and did not want others to say that her father had raised a bad girl.
Xia Yunhan felt powerless again. He found that he had no power to fight back against the current predicament.
So what if there are no grievances?
Huo Changsheng was right. If General Jiang wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as squeezing an ant to death.
"No! Your eldest sister is not like this. Although she wants you to be a responsible man, she also wants you to be a person who is responsible for yourself! You know that it is a dead end and you are still refusing to look back. You are playing with your own life. , this is actually the act of a coward!"
Huo Changsheng felt that he was not a coward in the past.
He had noticed a long time ago that his illness was unusual, but he did not have the courage to explore it. Instead, he held on to a glimmer of luck.
But the human heart in this world can only push beyond the limit and never stop at the right amount.
"I..." Xia Yunhan looked unwilling, but Huo Changsheng seemed to know what he was thinking, "Don't you think you are not afraid of death? But if you die, who can clear your grievances? There will only be someone at your grave. All that’s left is your eldest sister’s tears and the world’s scorn.”
Xia Yunhan felt his hands were cold, and he sat back feebly, feeling deeply confused.
"I think you should rely on your eldest sister when the time comes. Don't feel ashamed. A family whose blood is thicker than water needs to unite even more in difficult times. This is the meaning of brotherhood."
Huo Changsheng felt a little regretful and a little sour when he thought of his younger brothers and sisters who were not welcome to see him in the Huo family.
Looking at the slumped young man in front of him, Huo Changsheng slowly walked forward and put his hand on his shoulder.
"If you feel unwilling to do so, mature yourself as soon as possible and save your life. There will always be a chance to protect your eldest sister in the future."
"Of course, don't feel like you are dragging me down. Taking advantage of the situation is an essential skill for those who achieve great things."
Xia Yunhan raised his head to meet Huo Changsheng's deep gaze, and suddenly felt like a reckless fool. He had always believed that the innocent would self-examine, but now that he was in a situation where everyone misunderstood him, he understood what it means to be fearful of people's words.
"However, Master Huo's situation is not good either..." Xia Yunhan still hesitated, but Huo Changsheng smiled, "Your eldest sister has been kind to me, and now I finally have the opportunity to repay my kindness."
…
"Did he really say that?"
On the other side, Lin Yudie broke a branch bitterly.
When she heard that Huo Changsheng had returned home, she rushed over immediately, wanting to remind him that the spy in the house must have some ulterior secrets.
Unexpectedly, the guards she had placed in the courtyard brought news.
"Yes, Lord Huo has a close relationship with that young master." The guard meant that Huo Changsheng was not deceived, he was an informed person.
"That spy's sister is kind to brother Changsheng? Bitch, you know that someone else already has a wife you haven't married yet, and you still deliberately seduce him!"
Lin Yudie couldn't help but cursed. The maid Huan'er next to her looked confused and saw her master staring at her, "When have you ever seen Brother Changsheng mention another woman?"
Her intuition has always been very accurate. Huo Changsheng must have a crush on that spy sister!
Otherwise, he would not risk his future by harboring fugitives.
"Look, the spy has a thin skin and tender flesh, and his sister must also be charming. If the two of them cause Brother Changsheng to be questioned by King Xiang, I will not spare them!"
"Indeed, it seems that Mr. Huo has been a little happy these past two days."
Huan'er remembered that she had never seen a smile on Huo Changsheng's face. On the contrary, she had seen the young master several times after he appeared in the room, as if Mr. Huo was expecting something.
happy?
Lin Yudie's eyes darkened. She originally planned to find an opportunity to drive Xia Yunhan away, or simply get rid of him without anyone noticing, but now she changed her mind.
"You said Brother Changsheng secretly sent a letter to Beijing?" She looked arrogantly at the guard in front of her, who immediately responded, "Yes."
"She must have reported that that bitch is safe!" Lin Yudie gritted her teeth with hatred, "I guess she will come to Yuling for her brother."
She doesn't believe in brotherly love. I'm afraid that this bitch will use her desire to save her brother to come to see her immortal brother!
In this case, she should also fulfill her duties as a landowner!
Lin Yudie's eyes had already flashed a malicious light.
