Chapter 109: Marrow Cleansing and Bone Cutting
Huo Xueer tiptoed back to the room. As soon as she entered and turned on the light, she saw Zhou Yuru sitting on her bed.
It looks like he's been here for quite a while.
She was startled, "Mom, why are you in my room?
Don’t turn on the light yet!”
Zhou Yuru waved to her, "Xue'er, come here."
Huo Xueer didn't know what Zhou Yuru wanted to do, so she walked over slowly.
"Mom, it's so late."
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Zhou Yuru looked at Huo Xueer with a kind face and a gentle smile.
As for Huo Xueer, she felt the pain deeply.
She held Huo Xueer's hand and said, "Your sister's birthday is in two days.
She was lost for so many years.
Your father still hasn't given up looking for her.
But my mother has given up and no longer holds out any hope.
In my heart, you are my only daughter.
Xueer, you should know.
If your sister is really found.
Then your position as the eldest daughter will be lost.
Your father is already dissatisfied with you, if she really comes back.
I’m afraid the Huo family can’t accommodate you anymore.
But you were raised by your mother.
I don’t want you to be wronged because of her coming back.”
Huo Xueer thought of what she had just heard outside the study and clenched her fingertips.
The sharp nails almost dug into the flesh.
She bit her lip and pretended to be understanding, "Mom, I'm fine.
My father lost his sister, and it has always been a pain in his heart.
If my sister were found, my father would be able to come out of the shadow and live an easier life.
It doesn’t matter even if my father can’t tolerate me after my sister comes back.
The Huo family has raised me for so many years.
I shouldn't be greedy anymore.
I know I'm a little naughty sometimes, which makes you and dad very disappointed.
But mom, I actually did all this on purpose.
I wanted to get my dad's attention.
Let him not dwell on the grief of losing his sister."
“Mom knows.
But Xueer, your father will never forget his daughter in his heart.
No matter how you please.
In his heart, there will always be only his daughter.
To him, we, mother and daughter, are dispensable.
He always thought that Nannan was missing because I went back to my parents' home.
Mom, I don’t want to see him ignore you because of my daughter anymore.”
Her words startled Huo Xueer, "Mom, what do you mean?"
Zhou Yuru let go of her hand and stood up, "Xue'er, everything in the Huo family can only be yours.
Your father is getting older and more confused.
He wanted to leave all his property to the girl who was unknown whether she was dead or alive.
My lawyer came to my house today.
Mom heard their conversation.
Your father has made a will.
Oh, how ridiculous.
Not only did we not find Nannan, we didn’t even know whether she was dead or alive.
He said that if he found his daughter, he would leave all his property to her.
He also said that if he didn't find his daughter after his death, he would donate all his property.
I have been with him for so many years and have served him with all my heart.
In the end, you get nothing.”
Huo Xueer was so angry that her face almost turned green when she heard this.
Dad even made a will.
He was really cruel and left her nothing.
She suppressed her anger.
I wonder if my mother is testing her?
She pretended to be unbalanced on Zhou Yuru's behalf and said, "If that's the case, then Dad really went a bit too far.
I am not his biological daughter, so I can understand why he didn't leave me anything.
But mom, you are his first wife.
How could he leave you nothing?
What if his sister can’t be found? Wouldn’t his family property be lost to outsiders?
But you get nothing, what will you do when you are old?
Although I will be filial to my mother.
But I also want to get married and have children in the future.
If your husband's family is poor, and you get sick or something, they won't even be able to afford medical treatment.
Wouldn't that be a joke?"
Zhou Yuru sneered, "Don't worry, Xue'er, Mom will never let that day come.
Your father was unkind to me, so don't blame me for being unjust.
Xueer, you will stand on your mother's side, right?
No matter what mom does, you will support me, right?"
Huo Xueer looked surprised and doubtful, "Mom, what...what are you going to do?" Zhou Yuru's words made her feel a little uneasy.
Zhou Yuru smiled gently.
She raised her hand and touched Huo Xueer's face, "Xueer, remember what your mother said today.
Whatever I do, it's for us, mother and daughter.
Two days later, no matter what happens at home.
You must pretend that you know nothing.
Whenever anyone asks you, you should pretend to be innocent, harmless and ignorant.
Remember? "
Huo Xueer's heart started beating like thunder when she heard this.
Is mom planning to take action against dad?
Because she knew her father didn't leave her anything, and she was extremely disappointed in him...
She suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, kept her expression unchanged, and pretended to be shocked by Zhou Yuru's words.
"Okay, I'll listen to Mom.
No matter what my mother does, I will always stand by her side."
Zhou Yuru smiled with satisfaction, "Good boy!
This is what a good daughter of her mother is."
……
After Zhou Yuru left Huo Xueer's room.
Huo Xueer almost screamed with excitement.
a ha ha ha……
Huo Jiantao really brought this upon himself, he deserves to die!
Look, now even your mother can’t tolerate you without me having to do anything.
……
Zhou Yuru returned to the room, took out the medicine her lover gave her, and a vicious sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Huo Jiantao, you forced me to do this.
If I hadn't heard what you said today, I would still be hesitant.
But now, you have cut off your way to survival yourself.
If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for seeking death!"
……
Siheyuan.
Jiang Nuan took advantage of Gu Siheng's sleep and slipped into the jade pendant space.
As soon as she entered, the old man took her to a hot spring.
Jiang Nuan was puzzled, [Didn’t you say you would teach me martial arts tonight?
Why did you bring me to the hot spring? 】
The old man stroked his beard and said, "Master, I did say I would teach you martial arts today.
But you are now too old to practice martial arts.
If you just start learning like this, not only will your progress be slow, but you will also suffer.
This hot spring is not an ordinary hot spring like the ones you see in the outside world.
Tonight, I will open up your Ren and Du meridians, cleanse your marrow and strengthen your bones, and transform you into a complete new person.
In this way, you will get twice the result with half the effort when you practice martial arts in the future.
And this hot spring can relieve the pain of your marrow cleansing and bone breaking.)
