Although eavesdropping would be nothing on a normal day, if he knew what happened today, what a disaster it would bring to the entire Hou Mansion if word got out!

When had Xu Zongen been so wronged? Even in those years when he was with his mother in the countryside, she never slapped him like this!

How dare he hit him like this, a cheap dad he had only been with for less than two years? His pride couldn't stand it.

"I will never forgive you!"

He said these words with a tearful voice and ran out of the yard.

Xu Songchi stood there feeling dizzy with anger. His mother was careless, and this son was no better!

He is sneaky and sneaky, acting like a villain and cannot be put on the stage!

Now he really regrets that he brought the mother and son back. If he had just raised them in a house in the suburbs, there would not have been so many troubles.

He rubbed his eyebrows, feeling extremely irritated.

Three days later, the Wudinghou Mansion was covered with white cloth. Outsiders only knew that the old lady and Mrs. Wudinghou were seriously ill and died suddenly. Only people in the mansion knew the truth.

But they didn't dare to tell the truth. There was no shameful thing going on in any big house.

At night, as soon as Aunt Mei lay down on the bed after a tiring day, there was a knock on the door. Cuizhu hurriedly opened the door, but Xu Huan pushed her out and locked the door.

"Auntie, what are you doing?"

Aunt Mei couldn't understand what she wanted to do. Before she could ask, Xu Huan covered her mouth with his hand.

"Meilan, do you remember me at all?"

When asked this question, Xu Huan looked nervous for fear that the other party would shake his head or say "no".

"Although I haven't completely remembered it, I can recall quite a few memories now."

Hearing what she said, Xu Huan breathed a sigh of relief. It was great to remember this. She didn't expect so much now.

"Auntie..."

"You should call me Ah Huan, it sounds better to me."

"Ah Huan... When you come here this time, do you want to take me with you?"

Aunt Mei noticed a small package on her body, which looked like it contained clothes.

"Taking you away has been planned for a long time, but... I just ask you, can you rest assured about your relatives at home? If you are not at ease, I will naturally not force you to do anything."

Xu Huan knew that her family was as important as herself in her heart. If she kept thinking about her relatives at home after taking her away, she would not be happy.

What I have done so much is just to make her live like herself and live a happier life.

"My family is now supported by my elder brother, and it has changed from what it used to be. There is nothing for me to worry about."

With that said, Aunt Mei got up and got out of bed and pulled out a small wooden box from under the bed. She opened it and saw that it was full of jewelry and gold.

She had saved all this, and her parents were afraid that she would not live well, so they provided constant subsidies.

"Ah Huan, let's take these with us and we won't have to worry about living an unhappy life! No matter how difficult it is, it will be much better than it is now!"

Seeing the determination in her eyes, Xu Huan took her hand and held it tightly.

Early the next morning, the three carriages from the Hou Mansion rushed towards Mount Huang, leaving a message for their families to pray for the elderly people who had passed away at home.

But only the people in the carriage knew the true purpose of the trip.

When he stopped to rest halfway, Xu Huan quietly pulled Aunt Mei and Lin Qingwu together. Due to the rush out, he didn't have time to elaborate on his plan. The place was deserted now, which was an excellent opportunity. "When we go this time, we will definitely stay in a temple for a few days. From the beginning, we will concentrate on praying so as not to arouse other people's suspicion. Three days later, I will take Meilan to a temple for a night chat..."

The three of them looked at each other and understood what they were thinking.

On the other side, Xu Zongen searched the entire Hou Mansion and still couldn't find any trace of Liu Baoer. He couldn't help but panic. He asked several familiar maids, but the result he got was that he had never seen her and didn't know.

Why did such a good living person suddenly disappear from the world?

If he didn't have his mother behind his back to advise him, he wouldn't know what to do to overthrow Xu Hengpu and get the position of the legitimate son.

The old lady who always loved him passed away suddenly, and now no one can help him.

If there was no place for the legitimate son, the crown prince of Wudinghou Mansion would not be able to take his turn.

"Hmph! No one can be relied on at critical moments. There are some things you still need to fight for yourself!"

With this thought in mind, I walked to the training ground unknowingly.

Looking at the familiar weapon, his hands felt itchy again. If he had been able to practice martial arts over time, then Xu Hengpu would be a weak scholar after all, and he could kill him with just two or three punches.

With this thought in mind, he walked in again.

Where he didn't notice, Qi Zhen was already paying attention to his every move.

Watching him go in, he wouldn't come out for a while, so he turned around and went to find the eldest young master.

Xu Hengpu's legs have fully recovered. Except for some soreness and pain on rainy days, there is nothing wrong with them.

He was lying on the desk copying some scriptures. There was already a thick stack on the floor.

"Master, what are you doing?"

When Qi Zhen entered the room, he saw people in the tall piles of books and almost bought them.

Xu Hengpu replied without raising his head: "Copy more scriptures and have them sent to the ancestral hall to be burned. My grandmother treated me very well. Copying these can be regarded as a filial piety. By the way, why are you back?" "

Having said this, I looked up at him in confusion, then lowered my head again and continued writing.

"My subordinates followed him all the way. They saw him entering the training ground and didn't follow him. But you don't need to go in there to know what he does."

Xu Hengpu nodded and acknowledged what he said, but he accidentally wrote a wrong word on his hand. He tore up the paper and replaced it with a new one. He just picked up the pen and was about to write, but now his mind was already occupied by the pillow. After a few sentences are messed up, it will be much harder to write something calmly.

Putting the pen on the pen holder, and seeing that he didn't intend to continue writing, Qi Zhen hurriedly walked over to collect the papers and scriptures.

"Those things I have written for a while, please remember to send them to the ancestral hall and burn them to grandma."

"Yes, please keep this in mind."

Xu Hengpu nodded, he was always the most at ease when working with Qi Zhen.

"Qi Zhen, let me ask you..."

When he heard Xu Hengpu suddenly calling him, he hurriedly stood up and listened quietly to what was coming next.

"Let me ask you, if, if one day, I suddenly encounter danger, but that person is far stronger than you, what will you do?"
