good meal

Chapter 217 The old past

Holding Chu Liangrao's fragrant shoulders, Huo Tainan said: "I wanted to tell you about this a long time ago, and you also know that my mother has passed away, and now my stepmother is in charge of the family."

It was the first time for Chu Liangrao to know this. She thought that Huo Tainan's elders from far away would have no immediate relatives at the time of the wedding. Only now did she find out that Huo Tainan also had a stepmother.

Seeing Chu Liangrao's surprise, Huo Tainan couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said: "It's not intentional to hide it from you, but I have never regarded her as a mother in my heart. If it wasn't for her, I would never have met my master, let alone my mother." about you."

Chu Liangrao responded lightly, and did not express any unnecessary opinions.

Huo Tainan, on the other hand, was caught in the memory, and his voice became a little deeper: "My mother was gentle and kind all her life, but unexpectedly she believed in the wrong person before she died, and it made people take advantage of it."

When Huo Tainan made a statement, Chu Liangrao listened quietly and did not interrupt, but her heart softened.It turned out that Huo Tainan was a young master who had no worries about food and clothing when he was young, and he was held in his hands when his parents were still alive, but this situation only lasted until he was six years old, when Mrs. Huo was seriously ill, and Master Huo On the other hand, she was thinking of marrying another, and Mrs. Huo became so angry that she let her cousin, who was usually very good on weekdays, come in to serve her.

After this, Mrs. Huo's cousin really had a spark with Mr. Huo, and even got pregnant when Mrs. Huo was bedridden.The woman was afraid that Mrs. Huo would regret it, so she proposed to abort the child so that Mrs. Huo could recover from her illness with peace of mind.As a result, Mrs. Huo's heart softened, and she only asked people to raise the baby well, and then stopped asking more questions.

Hearing this, Chu Liangrao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, how similar this scene is to his own. Didn't Gu also claim to kill the child to make his mother feel at ease?The difference is that Mrs. Gu really drank the safflower, while Mrs. Huo's cousin obediently took care of her own fetus, and at the same time did not forget to visit the dying Mrs. Huo, repeatedly promising to treat Huo Tainan as her own.

The simple-minded Mrs. Huo's condition deteriorated as soon as she got worried, and she let go of Xihuan every two days.

And Huo Tainan also changed from a young master to a servant overnight, because at that time Master Huo felt sorry for the newcomer with a big belly, so he turned a blind eye to Huo Tainan's grievance.

I thought that after giving birth to the child, the Xia family would restrain herself a little, but unexpectedly, she tormented Huo Tainan even more. The young Huo Tainan's life was hanging by a thread several times, which made Chu Liangrao, who was watching, sweat.

Because Mrs. Huo was not yet full of filial piety, the Xia family didn't even get the status of a concubine, but only occupied the position of a concubine.But even so, she is very important in Huo's family. The servants all know that although the Xia family hasn't raised her face yet, she is not far from the main room, and she has made things difficult for Huo Tainan in private.

Huo Tainan simply didn't stay in the mansion as the nominal young master, and ran out to make a living by himself. It was at this time that he met Xiao Mingyue who was born as an orphan.How can two children make a name for themselves together, but the two of them really made a name for themselves and made a little money. It was at that time that Huo Tainan was spotted by his master, and then he separated from Xiao Mingyue .

Thinking of his master, Huo Tainan couldn't help laughing: "When we first met, I didn't expect this old man to be as famous as his father-in-law, but he had a lot of insults. The master is not annoyed, but the next day's meal is not good. The first day is fragrant."

Such a dark belly... Chu Liangrao laughed and said, "You have made your master angry, haven't you?"

"How could it be, is your husband like that?" Huo Tainan said swearingly, but seeing Chu Liangrao's face full of disbelief, he had to confess honestly, "Only once in a while."

"I didn't expect you to be naughty sometimes." Chu Liangrao stretched out his hand and drew circles on his chest, "I thought you were a young man, and you have always been so mature."

"Ha." Laughing, Huo Tainan pressed Chu Liangrao's dishonest little hand and said, "I was young and frivolous at the time, how could I be sensible now, but my master just liked my stubbornness, otherwise he would not be able to see it." Come on me."

"What about after that?" Chu Liangrao asked.

"Master also taught me kung fu on weekdays, and let me do everything when I had no money." Huo Tainan paused and said, "When it's really difficult, go to the casino..."

"You're still going to the casino!" Chu Liangrao stood up and lay on Huo Tainan's chest.

Huo Tainan said: "It's because of helplessness. My master is used to spending money lavishly. At first I was looking for odd jobs, but people usually don't want me because I'm young." Coughing, he said embarrassingly , "It's really hard to live without being a cheater."

Hearing this, Chu Liangrao couldn't help but black line, didn't he say that Zhang Zhongqing is very noble, why does Huo Tainan look like a helpless ruffian?
Seeing Chu Liangrao's expression, Huo Tainan couldn't help sighing: "I know you don't believe it, but it's true. When I'm with my master, I've never seen him fully dressed." Shaking his head, he said again, "Finally The neat ones should be the set of mourning clothes after his death."

Chu Liangrao, who had a crush on Zhang Zhongqing, said, "A man doesn't care about trifles."

"Why don't you just let it go for your husband?" Huo Tainan put his arms around Chu Liangrao's waist dishonestly.

Chu Liangrao giggled twice, covered her mouth and said, "Stop making trouble, it's getting late, don't you still get up early tomorrow? Go to sleep." Then, she pulled up the quilt a few times points, and his head shrank a little under the quilt.

Seeing Chu Liangrao's appearance, Huo Tainan's voice became hoarse. He pulled back the quilt and said, "Ah Rao, don't you miss me? I'm thirsty for you."

This magnetic voice was like a cat's paw scratching her heart, making Chu Liangrao's breathing a little short. She didn't want Huo Tainan, but at this moment... raising her head, she bit Huo Tainan's throat and said, "Since I'm thirsty I, then come back earlier, I miss you too..."

Speaking of the latter sentence, Chu Liangrao blushed a long time ago, Huo Tainan smiled reassuringly, and fell asleep with his arms around Chu Liangrao.

On the second day, Huo Tainan got up early, and Chu Liangrao got up too.

Dressed neatly, Huo Tainan pushed her back on the bed and said: "It's still some time before dawn, you can sleep a little longer."

"I forgot to ask you, when will you come back?" Chu Liangrao asked, blinking his black and white eyes.

"It's uncertain, but I promise you, as long as I can come back to see you, I will definitely come." Huo Tainan promised.

With this sentence, Chu Liangrao was satisfied, but still couldn't help but warned worriedly: "Don't get involved in this matter."

"Don't worry, I know." Huo Tainan looked outside and said, "I'm leaving."

"En." Chu Liangrao withdrew his hand and looked at Huo Tainan reluctantly.

Looking down at Chu Liangrao's small face, Huo Tainan sighed for a while, and said, "Ah Rao, you look at me like this, why am I willing to leave?"

Chu Liangrao, who was snickering in his heart, puffed up his cheeks and said, "Obviously you are reluctant to leave, why are you still relying on me?"

"You." Chong Ni nodded Chu Liangrao's forehead, Huo Tainan didn't delay anymore, he got up and walked around the screen.At this time, Chu Liangrao remembered that the lock in the yard hadn't been unlocked, and there was a little black gatekeeper brought from the palace in the yard... Thinking, Chu Liangrao got up in a hurry, not caring about putting on his clothes. The coat went out of the house.

It was quiet outside the house, pitch black, not to mention Xiao Hei's dog barking, there was not much noise.

Ding Xiang, who was on guard at night, also got up when she heard the movement, and seeing that Chu Liangrao was wearing such thin clothes, she invited her into the room, and poured a cup of hot tea for Chu Liangrao to warm up.

Chu Liangrao took a sip and said, "But you left the door for the county horse?"

"No." Ding Xiang said with a confused face, "Didn't the county horse say that he can't speak up about his return, so the servant didn't say anything."

Hearing this, Chu Liangrao couldn't help wondering, how did Huo Tainan get out? Could it be that he would climb over the wall?It's okay, you can go to the casino and climb over the fence. Isn't this a must-have skill for the legendary flower picker?

However, Chu Liangrao just pretended to be having fun and smiled, but he didn't really think of Huo Tainan as that kind of person.

On the second day after Huo Tainan came back, Yun Shanshan, the eldest lady of the Yun Mansion, "healed up", and Yun Wanwan also started to find a husband for Yun Shanshan, for fear that this precious daughter would cause some serious trouble, and she would treat Yun Shanshan The supervision is also much stricter.

Yun Shanshan, who was restricted everywhere, had no choice but to seek help from Mrs. Wu, but Mrs. Wu was helpless, so she had to persuade Yun Shanshan to calm down.

But how could Yun Shanshan listen to it? When she thought of the days spent with Huo Tainan on the way back, her heart was full of sweetness.Even if Huo Tainan treats her strangely and indifferently, but she believes that it's only because of Huo Tainan's new marriage, she still has a chance, even if she is a concubine, she still wants to be with this handsome and extraordinary man.

So even though Mrs. Wu said things out of her mouth, Yun Shanshan still stubbornly insisted on her own opinion.

Wu couldn't help sighing, and said: "Shanshan, you tricked Mr. Huo to send you back, can you really not see it?"

Twisting her hair with her fingers, Yun Shanshan said nonchalantly, "So what if you see it?"

"Just imagine, your sister-in-law, a woman, can see it. Would Mr. Huo really go in without knowing it?" Wu asked.

Yun Shanshan's scalp tightened, and she said instead: "If he knows and refuses, isn't that interesting?"

"Silly boy, why are you so stupid? If he doesn't refuse, it's because of his father's face."

Hearing this, Yun Shanshan's face darkened, and she asked: "Sister-in-law, is there anything else, go out if you have nothing to do, I'm tired too."

Seeing that she still doesn't listen to the persuasion, how can Mrs. Wu go? She said earnestly: "Shanshan, the most important thing in getting along with a husband and wife is to be honest. If you really like someone, you shouldn't put your mind on him."

"Sister-in-law, have you never thought about big brother?" Yun Shanshan asked back.

Wu choked for a while, and said falteringly: "How can it be the same?"

"Why is it different, aren't sister-in-law and elder brother husband and wife?" Yun Shanshan continued to ask.
