Chapter 441: A Reluctant Compromise
After Lai Changyi discovered Huo Xinyuan's conspiracy, he immediately thought of a remedial plan, he glanced at Huo Pingping apologetically, and then took three steps forward, walked out from behind Yi Tianfang, and took the initiative to come to everyone and hugged his fist at Kang Shaohua.

"In the Lower Star Sect, Lai Changyi, I have seen the Eight Extremes Divine Sword Kang Shaoxia!"
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Lai, but I didn't expect you to be in the Medicine King's Mansion!" Kang Shaohua is a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, one of the eight major factions of the righteous path, and has a relationship with Lai Changyi, among these people who participated in the recruitment conference, regardless of their status and status, their martial arts character is the strongest person, so they will be elected as a representative to negotiate with Mrs. Huo.
"It's you!" Yan Yuji immediately recognized Lai Changyi, "Aren't you Brother Ma?"
After Hong Ridong also found Lai Changyi, he shouted loudly: "This person is the one who told us that Yi Tianfang is going to marry Miss Huo!"
Mrs. Huo's pupils shrank, and her expression when she looked at Yi Tianfang and the others began to change, although she was not smart, but Lai Changyi's purpose was so obvious, if she couldn't see it, she had lived in vain for so many years.
"Yi Tianfang, what do you mean by that!"
Yi Tian smiled bitterly in relief, Lai Changyi took the initiative to jump out, and immediately put him in a very embarrassing position, but fortunately, Lai Changyi blocked the knife for him: "Madame, don't blame, revealing the marriage between the third prince and Ling Ai was done by me alone!"
"Why did you do that!" said Mrs. Huo hatefully.
Lai Changyi suddenly showed a look of righteous indignation and said: "Madame is not authentic, before the lord of the Huo Mansion clearly agreed to recruit relatives through a martial arts competition, everyone relied on their own abilities, but Madame openly broke the contract and married Miss Huo to the third prince, I am the young master of the Star Sect, how can I let you be so humiliated!"
"That's right!" Lai Changyi's words resonated with all the participants in the son-in-law recruitment conference, and Kang Shaohua also echoed: "Senior Brother Lai is right, the lord of the Huo Mansion has advertised the recruitment of sons-in-law in the world before his death, but the lady has reversed herself, is she looking down on us people?"
"Kang Daxia said it well!"
"Mrs. Huo is too deceitful!"
"Is your Medicine King's Mansion ignoring the morality of the rivers and lakes?"
"If the Medicine King's Mansion doesn't give an explanation today, we won't leave!"
For a while, everyone gathered the contradictions on Mrs. Huo, she had never seen such a scene after living for so many years, but at this moment, a warm little hand grabbed her hand, and a firm belief came from that little hand, which made Mrs. Huo feel a lot more at ease.
"Ping'er!"
"Don't worry, I won't let you be hurt!" Huo Pingping still chose to support her mother at the critical moment, she faced everyone and said loudly: "I, Huo Pingping, announced in front of so many people today that the recruitment conference was canceled, and I would not marry Yi Tianfang, I would keep filial piety for my father for three years!"
"What?!" Huo Pingping's words startled Wan Chonglang, everyone was stunned by her sudden decision, but only Yi Tianfang and a few people in the crowd were not surprised, but Xin Hongguang showed a sad look, but he, who loved Huo Pingping deeply, could only choose to silently support her decision.
However, there were still people who disagreed with Huo Pingping's idea, and Huo Xinyuan, the second elder of the Medicine King Mansion, suddenly stood up and attracted everyone's attention with a wave of his hands.
"Pingping is too sad because of her father's death, so she will talk nonsense, you don't have to care, the son-in-law recruitment conference will be held as scheduled, please rest assured!"
Huo Pingping said angrily: "Second Elder, I'm not overly sad, I..."
"Shut up!" Huo Xinyuan suddenly shouted, stopping Huo Pingping from continuing to speak, his eyes revealed endless indifference, and he said angrily: "You can't still make your own decisions about your marriage, are you when our elders are dead?"
"Second Elder, you are not my parents!" Huo Pingping also lowered her face, and her tone began to show no respect.
"Bastard, that's how your father taught you to talk to your elders?"
Lai Changyi saw that Huo Pingping was getting more and more suffered, and hurriedly said: "Miss Huo, the Medicine King Mansion advertised the world to recruit a son-in-law for you before, if you cancel it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!"
"Hmph!" Huo Pingping said angrily to Lai Changyi: "It's all because of you that you're like this now!"
Lai Changyi betrayed Mrs. Huo in battle, making her the target of the public, Huo Pingping gritted her teeth, eager to kill Lai Changyi, but the public couldn't make trouble!
"Miss misunderstood someone Lai!" Lai Changyi smiled bitterly: "I'm all for your good, now the matter of recruiting relatives has become strangely difficult, if it is hastily canceled, I am afraid it will bring unexpected disasters to the Medicine King's Mansion!"
Lai Changyi glanced at Huo Xinyuan and reminded Huo Pingping that now her biggest enemy is him, not herself.
Huo Xinyuan saw that Lai Changyi also supported him, and immediately said proudly: "Pingping, your father's only hope before his death is that you can find a good home and marry as soon as possible, so that your father can be blind after his death!"
"The most important thing is to give these young talents an explanation!" Huo Xinyuan smiled, the whole person was very happy, things were completely according to his plan, after this incident, Huo Pingping and Mrs. Huo no longer had the ability to snatch the position of the lord of the mansion with him, and the next thing was to kick Yi Tianfang out of the ranks of sons-in-law, so that his grandson could hold the beauty.
Huo Pingping is also difficult to ride a tiger at this time, things have developed to this point, and she can't make the decision, Mrs. Huo also understands at this time that she is afraid that she will harm her daughter, and the master of the Medicine King Mansion is probably already a mirror, and at the same time, Mrs. Huo hates Jiang Li to death, if it weren't for him, she wouldn't have reached this point.
When Lai Changyi heard Huo Xinyuan's words, his eyes rolled, and he had a way to deal with it: "Elder Huo's words are wrong!"
"The Huo Mansion is newly mourned, and the Medicine King's Mansion is still handling the funeral, so it is really not appropriate to hold a son-in-law!"
Huo Xinyuan frowned, and just as he wanted to speak, Lai Changyi said again: "I think the matter of recruiting a son-in-law should be postponed, and it will be held after the funeral of the lord of Huo's mansion is completed, and after all, it is to choose a husband for Miss Huo, and the rules for recruiting a son-in-law should naturally be set by Miss Huo!"
What Lai Changyi said was reasonable, and Huo Xinyuan and a group of young talents couldn't refute it for a while, but Kang Shaohua still asked: "When will this recruitment of sons-in-law be delayed, and what are the criteria for participating in the recruitment conference?"
Lai Changyi smiled slightly: "According to reason, my father is newly mourned, and Miss Huo must keep filial piety for three years, but considering the actual situation, it is also appropriate to keep filial piety for three months!"
"Three months is so long?"
All the people who participated in the recruitment could not accept the three-month period and proposed to hold the recruitment in advance.
After Lai Changyi and Huo Pingping glanced at each other, Huo Pingping knew the opportunity, walked out slowly, and said calmly to everyone: "I decided to comply with the public opinion, keep filial piety until the end of the seventh day, and hold a son-in-law conference, as for the rules of the son-in-law conference, I will also announce it later, everyone please go back and wait with peace of mind, today is the day of my father's burial, and please give peace to the deceased!"
Huo Xinyuan had the intention to make trouble again, but found that Yi Tianfang had slowly approached, looking at him with a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling, and Yi Tianfang's master Ouyang Xiaotian had also arrived behind him, and Yi Tianfang was sandwiched back and forth, and he would shoot if he didn't agree with him, Huo Xinyuan was a good man who didn't eat the loss in front of him, so he could only swallow this breath!
Everyone got Huo Pingping's reply, and they also settled down, and dispersed to prepare for the son-in-law conference more than a month later, and Huo Buting could finally be buried, but everyone had their own thoughts, and the sadness was a lot lighter, only Huo Pingping has been showing great sadness, and I don't know if it's because of her father's departure, or because of her worries about her future.
