Chapter 269 - Your Highness Something Terrible Has Happened
The sudden appearance of a young master in the Huo Family did not cause too much of a stir. With so many descendants of Huo Family, there was really no one who would place their eyes on a son who was born in an outer room.
Only Huo Yiloong was sullen for a while, as he felt that he had been made a fool of for no reason.
Mrs. Huo carried his new grandson to see Huo Zhengquan. She asked her to give him a name and told him that she was still raising him in her room.
Huo Zhengquan frowned as he looked at the timid brat, “I heard that you left that woman behind? What are you trying to do? ” Other people would be eager to have their mother leave their children in such a situation, so why was his wife so enthusiastic about letting them stay?
Mrs. Huo handed the child to him, “Don't you think that the mother and son pair have appeared at such a coincidental time? You don't come early or you don't come late, and yet, you come at such a time when our family has so many matters to attend to. “
Huo Zhengquan's eyes became serious, “Then I'll send someone to check it out.”
“Although our son loves to play, he shouldn't be so reckless. I don't believe that no one is scheming against him.” Mrs. Huo defended her son from the exit.
Huo Zhengquan declined to comment, but if this was really manmade, he had no choice but to treat it with caution.
“Why don't you just pay attention to the cause of this delivery? If you let it out and someone uses it, you will have to put in a lot of effort to deal with it.”
“Madam is right.” Just as Huo Zhengquan wanted to hold Madam's hand, the child in his arms suddenly cried loudly.
Huo Zhengquan had never hugged a child before, it was rare to see him hugging a grandson once, but he was still despised. He immediately passed the child to Mrs. Huo with a darkened face.
Mrs. Huo laughed as she coaxed the new grandson, “Alright, then I'll arrange people to look after that woman.”
At this time, the person waiting outside the Huo Mansion had not seen the woman being chased out for a long time and hurriedly ran back to report.
In the First Prince's residence, after hearing the report, the First Prince waved his hand and sent his men down. He thought about this matter at the beginning but did not expect it to be the end.
He had schemed for this child all those years ago, but had never thought of how to use him. He had only raised him in a manor in the outskirts of the capital.
They had originally thought that it would be a chess piece who caught everyone off guard with one move. They hadn't thought that he had underestimated the attitude of the Huo Family towards this kind of thing.
However, it was not as bad for the woman to be left behind. Huo Family's spies were not easy to arrange, and the people who were sent in with great difficulty were also cut off in this incident.
Huo Zhengquan did not mind keeping a few spies in his house, as long as it did not harm him, he could pass on the message freely.
Before Teng Yu left, he offered a plan to help Huo Zhengquan uncover the secrets of the letter.
“You want him to catch Huo Yidao's braids?” Yin Xu lied in the carriage, enjoying the glory of Third Prince fanning him personally.
If there really was someone who was so capable of bringing disaster to this manor, then they would have long since died.
“Go ask someone on duty if anything unusual happened last night.”
“This servant has asked, nothing abnormal happened. On the other hand, a guard that went out to court the night felt a cold feeling, but he thought it was the night wind and didn't pay much attention to it.”
“Is everyone in the mansion panicking now?” Teng Yu could probably guess what everyone was thinking, this kind of unbelievable thing was everyone's first reaction was to think of the Gods and Demons.
However, Teng Yu did not believe it, and would naturally think that it was human, but in the end, who could do such a thing, and why spend so much effort to do it?
He really couldn't understand it no matter how much he thought about it.
Teng Yu returned to his room to change his clothes. Seeing that Yin Xu was already asleep due to exhaustion, he did not wake him up.
All the servants in the mansion started to move, searching for the source of the abnormality. However, after half a day, they still couldn't find anything.
“Your Highness, aside from the Scenic Garden, the rest have already been searched, and even the soil has been dug out for the old farmer to inspect. There's no problem, it's just that they said that the soil in our residence isn't fertile.”
“Where did you dig?” Teng Yu felt it was unbelievable. The mansion's ground that was growing trees and flowers was specially transported back from the suburbs, how could it not be fertile?
“It's the soil in the garden. Maybe the rare trees that we grew all these years were absorbing the nutrients.” Han Sen analyzed.
“Strange trees ...” Something flashed past Teng Yu's mind, and then he suddenly stood up and strode towards the Scenic Garden.
Han Sen chased after him as he muttered, “I've been busy all morning. I don't know if the kitchen has prepared any food for Seventh Elder, but it's time for Seventh Elder to wake up.”
Following Teng Yu into the Scenic Garden, Han Sen discovered that his master did not enter the house, but went around to the backyard, because Yin Xu was sleeping, so he did not let anyone check on him. Furthermore, all the plants in the courtyard were dead, so there was nothing much to see.
Walking to the backyard, Teng Yu saw the precious tree with a glance. It was lush and verdant, with lush branches and luxuriant leaves.
Teng Yu laughed bitterly, “There's no need to find the reason, just get people to dig up all the flowers and trees in the mansion, don't plant new ones, and also get some fertile soil to replace them.”
Han Sen had yet to wake up from his stupor from the tree, and his reaction was slower by more than half a beat, “Your Highness ... “This ...”
Why was it that when all the plants in the manor were dead, this tree would grow even better?
Was this a demonic tree?
“Alright, from today onwards, no servants are allowed to enter and exit Scenic Garden s. Clean this room up yourself, send out heavy soldiers outside and guard this place. You are not allowed to tell anyone about the abnormality of this tree!”
Although Han Sen could not understand, he did not dare refute Teng Yu's decision as he muddle headed out.
