050. Affection
"I asked someone to make you a workbench, although there is no dust on it, but judging from the degree of rust on the knife edge, you are just cleaning the table and tools every day, and you have not used them at all, but is this?"
Huo Tang'er shook her head timidly, with tears faintly in her eyes, and her pitiful appearance almost made Huo Yunqian unable to speak anymore.
She took a breath, calmed down, and said tentatively: "Tang'er, it's because of your mother's businessβare you hating me?" β
"No!" Huo Tang'er blurted out almost subconsciously.
Huo Yunqian was pleasantly surprised and relieved by this answer.
She held Huo Tang'er's hand, took Huo Tang'er to the side of the bed and sat down, and gently patted the back of the little girl's hand, "Tang'er, you don't have to be afraid, everything I said before is counted." β
Huo Tang'er looked at her with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of doubts.
Huo Yunqian rubbed her head, "Tang'er, you must remember: your father and my second brother were wronged!" You don't have to bear any pressure, in the future, I will definitely be able to rehabilitate my second brother!
"You've seen my skills and listened to what your third uncle said, haven't you? I can earn back the title of a county lord on my own, and I have the qualifications to enter the Shaofu, and it won't be long before I can find out the truth about the murder of my second brother! β
How can an emperor rush to cuckold himself?
Back then, Wu Guifei was slighted by her second brother Huo Mingjun, and she was clearly suspicious, so she could even make it uproarious, and almost everyone in the honorable circle knew it.
There's no driving force behind it β who believes?
Starting from this point, Huo Yunqian believes that he will definitely be able to find the entry point of the clue.
Let's go back to Huo Tang'er, for so many years, the things that this kid has pressed on his heart are not ordinarily many and ordinary.
If you want her to change completely, just a wood carving and a carving knife are not enough.
Huo Tang'er's tears fell, and she finally threw herself into Huo Yunqian's arms and howled.
"Little aunt...... I miss my father, I miss my mother! But...... My mother hurt my aunt, I ...... I don't dare ......."
What is "not daring"?
Huo Tang'er didn't know, she only knew that she would always live cautiously.
As long as she is active with the nobles in Beijing, they can always think of her father's past, and it is easy for her to raise her head when she talks.
For so many years, except for the little aunt, no one has asked her what she thinks, no one cares about what she likes, and no one wants to know her anxiety and sadness.
Huo Yun put his arm around her and said solemnly: "You can't write two 'Huo' words in one stroke, you and I are a family, why are there so many politeness and suspicion between the family?" β
At that moment, the emotions released were like a flood bursting the embankment.
Huo Tang'er cried loudly until her voice became hoarse.
And Huo Yunqian just hugged her without saying a word, patting her back gently from time to time, telling her that he was still here to accompany her.
In the matter of the white jade Guanyin statue, Huo Yunqian will not forgive the second sister-in-law, but for the sake of Duan Wenxin who has been lonely for so many years and has pulled Tang'er to grow up, she will not ask for Duan Wenxin's life.
Let Duan Wenxin retire in the house and spend the rest of her life quietly, or, if she is willing to remarry, let her go.
Waiting for Huo Tang'er to sobbed for a while, Huo Yunqian touched her head soothingly, and suddenly thought of something.
When she was leaving, she saw that Tang'er seemed to be slowly improving, and her smile was much more;
Why did Tang'er's situation continue to be the same again after coming back, as if it was more serious?
Huo Yunqian thought about it and gently wiped away her tears for Huo Tang'er, "Tang'er, have you been to see your mother recently?" Still is...... Your uncle sent a letter here."
She originally just guessed casually, but Huo Tang'er was stunned, looked at her sneerfully, and said in a dumb voice: "Little aunt, you ...... How do you know everything? β
Huo Yunqian's expression froze, and anger rose in his heart.
Duan Jia...... Is this for fear that the world will not be chaotic?
Huo Tang'er got up, carefully took out two letters from the small makeup box next to her, and silently handed them to Huo Yunqian.
This gesture is obviously an extreme trust in her.
Huo Yunqian took out his handkerchief to wipe away Huo Tang'er's tears, and gave her an encouraging smile, and then took the letterhead from her hand.
The length of the two letters was different, and the letter pressed at the bottom was longer.
Huo Yunqian first quickly skimmed the beginning and determined that this long letter full of three pages was sent first.
The inscription of the letter reads "Duan Wendu", which is indeed the name of Duan Wenxin's brother.
But the letter begins with a simple call for "Tang'er", followed by a lengthy rebuke.
is nothing more than questioning Huo Tang'er's actions, whether she has fulfilled her responsibility as a child, and reprimanding Huo Tang'er for being useless for many years with the tone in her eyes, and finally attracting Huo Tang'er with the marriage of the Lei family.
Huo Yunqian pinched the letter paper, and his hands trembled a little with anger.
"When did you send this first letter?"
Huo Tang'er wiped her eyes and said in a low voice: "June...... First. β
Huo Yunqian pinched her fingers, she seemed to be in Kaizhou at that time, ready to set off for Liangzhou.
Corresponding ...... It should have been the time when the Weiguo Mansion was in a hurry to find her.
Huo Yunqian felt a little sorry in his heart, his mother and second sister at that time must have been in a mess.
And the Duan family really knew how to pick the time, and took advantage of the time to give Huo Tang'er such a letter with half threat and half warning, to fight for Duan Wenxin's chance to be free.
Huo Yunqian felt a little sorry in his heart, pinched his fingers, and continued to open the letter with only one piece of paper on the top layer, "When was this one sent?" β
Huo Tang'er said in a low voice: "Just right...... It was the day before yesterday. β
The day before yesterday, everyone in the capital knew that the Northern Expeditionary Army was about to triumph, and a letter was sent at such a time......
Huo Yun glanced at it, and in just one page, it really had the meaning of an ultimatum.
After reading the above content, Huo Yun smiled coldly and raised his eyes to stare at Huo Tang'er, "Do you believe the above words?" β
Huo Tang'er was stunned, moved by the tenderness in Huo Yun's shallow eyes, bit her lower lip, and shook her head vigorously, "I don't believe it." β
The uncle said that her father's reputation was not good, so the Guogong Mansion did not help her, and even delayed her future;
All she can count on is her mother and the Duan family behind her mother;
And the head of the Lei family is the middle of the imperial history, and his son has his own industry, and there is no shortage of money and status, this is the best destination for her, don't wait for the Lei family to change their minds, and it will be too late to regret it!
Huo Yunqian took Huo Tang'er's hand, asked her to sit down beside her, and said softly: "Tang'er, first of all, you have to understand that your surname is 'Huo', and you have the family behind you as a backing."
"Although you have half of the Duan family's bloodline, but one generation of relatives, two representatives, three generations and four generations are gone-your uncle can borrow your mother's hand to plot against me for glory and wealth, how can he have pity for you, a niece?"
She paused, and when she saw that Huo Tang'er was listening carefully to her words, she was relieved in her heart, and continued: "I won't say it for the time being, think about your grandmother, second aunt and third aunt, how have they treated you for half a month?" β
