Chapter 309 Breaking the game

Mrs. Hua thought of something, her face changed, and Mr. Chaohua got an inch closer, "Master, do you have an outer room and an outer room?"

"It must be so, so you don't care about your son, right?"

"We are just two sons. If the two sons are gone together, then the clan will be extinct!"

Madam Hua became more and more excited as she spoke, and her expression revealed a bit of madness and stubbornness.

Master Hua's face was stained with anger, his face was ashen, and he said sternly: "Madam, don't be ridiculous, I don't have a wife!!"

He looked straight into Madam Hua's eyes with a calm expression.

He also does not have an outer chamber.

Even if he really has an outsider, how can that son's dirty blood inherit the family business of the Hua family!

He has only two sons. To prosper the family, he must sacrifice one. The eldest son, Huaxi, is sick. For the past 18 years, he has been lying on the couch most of the time. The doctors said that he was afraid that he would not live long.

But the second son, Hua Zhao, was the one who put all his expectations into his family's expectations.

If they were to die in this house, even if they adopted an heir from another house, it would not be his blood.

But……

Mr. Hua's eyes were extremely complicated, with heartache, hesitation, sadness, and determination. His right hand still held Mrs. Hua's arm tightly, like a pair of iron pliers, and would not let go at all.

Husband and wife for 20 years, Mrs. Hua can naturally see the hesitation in her master's eyes.

She just said that Mr. Hua had a waifu, but it was only on impulse, she blurted out, calmed down a little, and then wanted to understand: her own master would not have a waifu, even the concubines under the knees of those cousins ​​in the Hua clan, Master Hua looked down on him, and despised the blood of his mother's line being too low.

In the eyes of the Hua family, the direct line is the orthodox.

Master Hua may raise the outer chamber, but he will never allow the existence of the outer chamber to humiliate the lintel of the Hua family.

"Master!" Madam Hua looked at Master Hua with red eyes, and her eyes were full of sorrow.

She really didn't understand what the lord was hesitating about and why he wouldn't save their son.

What secret is more important than their son? !

Thinking, her heart suddenly sank a little, and there was a very bad premonition...

The surroundings suddenly darkened, the thick clouds above covered the sun, and even the air became dull, making Madam Hua feel breathless.

"Madam, this second girl is cunning. She said that she could save Brother Zhao, and then said that the effect of the talisman was only one day. She was clearly playing tricks on us. I can't believe her!" Gu Yanfei in the distance had a sad look in his eyes.

He forcefully pulled Mrs. Hua towards the carriage again, "We took Brother Zhao to Wuliangguanli, and I heard that the master of the spectacle, Xuancheng, is currently in the spectacle. He is very knowledgeable, and it must be more reliable to find him. ."

"Madam, just listen to my advice!"

"No, I'm not leaving!" Madam Hua gritted her teeth, but she refused to leave. She looked at Master Hua stubbornly, and Gu Yanfei's words echoed repeatedly in her ears:

"Mrs. Hua, both of your sons are sick. I can save them."

In recent days, she has been tossing and turning because of her eldest son's illness. Gu Er is the only one who has given her hope. Only Gu Er has clearly told her that her eldest son can be saved!

For Mrs. Hua, Gu Yanfei was the last straw.

She wants to save her son, she can't just watch the eldest son and the second son die like this at such a prosperous age, the second girl Gu will definitely be able to save them...

But his master was unwilling.

Why?

Since it’s not because of the outer chamber, what else could be the reason? !

Sin...

She looked straight at Master Hua, her eyes flickering.

A month ago, the eldest son suddenly became seriously ill. Every doctor they invited said that the eldest son was not saved, and asked them to prepare for the funeral as soon as possible.

One day, Master Hua told her that he wanted to marry his eldest son.

He said that it was for the eldest son to be taken care of under the ground and to inherit incense.

He said that he picked the third girl from the Lu family, and her horoscope matches the eldest son. Once the two get married, the eldest son can borrow some of his wife's fortune, and he will be healthy and safe in the next life.

She felt that every word the master said was for the eldest son, and she agreed without thinking.

The picture at that time flashed rapidly in Madam Hua's mind, she stared slightly and stood there dumbfounded.

and many more!

After she promised to marry the eldest son, did the master laugh?

Are you laughing? !

Mrs. Hua's mind reappeared in Mrs. Hua's smile at that time. His smile seemed relieved, hopeful, fierce, ambitious... That smile was too weird.

"Master!" Madam Hua's eyes widened, her eyes were red and swollen, she in turn grabbed Master Hua's arm tightly and asked sharply, "Do you have anything to do with Brother Xi and Brother Zhao's illness? ?"

"talk!"

Her voice was sharp, with a feeling of hoarseness.

"Have you had enough trouble?" Master Hua was annoyed, his face flushed red, and he threw off his wife's hand heavily.

Master Hua ignored his wife and got on the carriage first.

"Walk!"

He dropped the word in a stern voice, and then the coachman waved his whip and drove the carriage away without reluctance.

Master Hua's reaction confirmed Madam Hua's guess.

Mrs. Hua felt cold all over, and her heart seemed to have several more holes. The cold wind roared through those holes.

Madam Hua looked at Gu Yanfei not far away in a daze, and her mouth moved.

She wanted to ask something, but she couldn't make a sound, her throat seemed to be strangled, and it burned like a fire.

Gu Yanfei seemed to see Madam Hua's intentions, and said lightly: "This sin in the soul comes from the family. From generation to generation, as long as you don't stop offering it, it will never stop."

"The surname is the original sin, and it will be retributed on the child."

"Your eldest son was sick because of this."

Her words gently beat on Mrs. Hua's heart like snow falling on a glacier.

"..." Madam Hua was even more at a loss, feeling that Gu Yanfei understood every word, but she didn't understand why they were connected together.

Gu Yanfei leisurely took another sip of hot tea, and then said again, "Have you read the family tree of the Hua clan?"

Of course she has seen it! Madam Hua nodded hurriedly.

Gu Yanfei continued: "Do you remember the birthdays and death sacrifices of those clansmen in the genealogy?"

Her speech was extremely slow and meaningful.

Mrs. Hua couldn't help but touched the string of beads she was wearing on her wrist, and rubbed her fingers on the beads of agarwood. Gu Yanfei's few words evoked her memory little by little.

As the clan's wife, she has read the genealogy more than once, but she didn't read it so carefully. In the past, she only glanced casually when updating the genealogy.

Not long ago, because she wanted to choose an heir for her eldest son, she read it carefully.

She tried her best to recall the contents of the genealogy, frowning little by little.

It seems that in the clan, males will die prematurely in every generation.

It is not surprising that children die prematurely. It is difficult for children to support them. Even in the royal family, there are often young children who die prematurely. However, those males who died prematurely in the family tree of the Hua family are often between the ages of fifteen or sixteen to twenty years old and crown. In between, and all of them died.

And the clan will find a marriage for the deceased young man, form a yin relative, and then adopt a step-child from the side...

When she first read the genealogy, Madam Hua didn't think much about it, and it was not uncommon to marry Yin's parents, but now, her mood is different, and the more she thinks about it, the more frightened she becomes.

Her face gradually faded from the blood, and she was as pale as paper, and her body trembled so much that she hardly dared to think about it.

"Do you understand?" Gu Yanfei got up from the armchair, caressed her dress, and then slowly walked towards Madam Hua.

The sky became gloomier again, and the thick clouds seemed to fall at any moment.

Under the dense shadow of the trees above, Gu Yanfei's face was even more blurred, but her eyes were very clear, very bright, and captivating.

She said softly as if chanting: "It was none other than the one who harmed your son."

"There is no one else who can save your son."

"only you."

Her voice is so soft and clear, with an indescribable charm that makes people involuntarily fall into it.

"Only you." She stared into Madam Hua's eyes.

The three words    seemed to be engraved into the eyes of the other party along with her words.

"..." Madam Hua nodded blankly and knelt down again, "Second Lady Gu, please teach me how I can save my son!"

She gave Gu Yanfei a heavy kowtow, then raised her head and looked at her almost reverently.

Gu Yanfei took out a compass from his sleeve, turned the pointer at will, and calculated with his fingers again, before saying, "Immeasurable View. Take the family tree of Hua Clan to Boundless View."

After she said that, she turned around and walked towards the gate. The old ladies of the Gu residence quickly removed the chairs and coffee table.

Madam Hua did not stop Gu Yanfei, nor did she move, she just stared blankly at her crossing the high threshold, as if half of her three souls and seven souls had been lost.

"Squeak—"

The vermilion lacquer gates on both sides of the    were gradually closed.

When the door was halfway closed, Gu Yanfei on the other side of the threshold stopped and said lightly, "By the way, there's not much time left for Ling Lang."

"Now, their lives are linked together, he dies, he dies too."

"He lives and he lives."

"Twelve hours left."

After the last word    fell, the red lacquer gate of Gu Mansion closed heavily.

The sound of the door closing resounded like thunder in Mrs. Hua's ears.

Outside the gate, Mrs. Hua was left alone, standing blankly, without moving for a long time, only what Gu Yanfei had just said repeatedly echoed in her mind.

Is she the only one who can save her son? !

Yes, only her!

Only she, a mother, can save her pair of children!

At this moment, this idea has been etched into her heart, like a deep imprint.

Madam Hua also turned around, got into another carriage, and resolutely told the steward, "Go, let's go back to Anci County!"

The steward didn't expect his wife to go back to the mansion first instead of going to Myriad Herbs, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Their carriage immediately set off on the way back to Anci County. Along the way, under the repeated urging of Mrs. Hua Da, they hurried and worked non-stop.

The servants in the Washington Mansion were very surprised to see that only the madam came back alone, but did not see Master Hua and the second young master.

An old lady came in a hurry after hearing the news, and came to greet her at the ceremonial gate.

Madam Hua asked eagerly, "Mother Zhao, how is the young master?"

Mother Zhao replied respectfully: "The eldest young master just woke up and drank a bowl of white porridge, and just now he was supported by the servant to walk around the house. The servant girl looked much better."

Mother Zhao also felt strange in her heart, obviously yesterday, the old doctor said that the eldest young master can't make it through today, but now the eldest young master is looking better, could it be that... back to the light?

"Really?" Madam Hua asked again.

Grandma Zhao responded again and again.

She thought that the first thing Madam did when she came back was to see the eldest young master, but Madam Hua hurried to the other direction.

Zhao Mama chased after her in astonishment.

Mrs. Hua walked faster and faster, her chest heaving violently, from the eye socket to the heart was the same sour and unbearable.

What Gu Er girl said is true, and everything has been fulfilled.

Gu Er girl said that her two sons are now connected in lifespan, only twelve hours, which is also true.

No, it's been less than twelve hours.

pounding!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Hua's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and her heart tightened.

The time limit hangs high above Madam Hua's neck like a guillotine. Every quarter of an hour passes, the guillotine seems to be pressed down by an inch...

Mrs. Hua didn't dare to stop for a moment, and trotted to the Hua's ancestral hall to get the genealogy.

The old woman who guarded the ancestral hall naturally did not dare to stop Mrs. Hua. Mrs. Hua came to the apse of the ancestral hall without hindrance, took out the genealogy enshrined in front of the ancestral tablet, and quickly turned it over.

Find the pages of their room and look closely.

Her face became more and more ugly, and her fingers even trembled uncontrollably.

Sure enough.

She remembered correctly. In each generation of the clan, a male Ding Ying, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, died young. Looking up, the second uncle of Master Hua passed away at the age of eighteen; his third uncle died at the age of sixteen; His great-fifth great-uncle died at the age of nineteen...every male had a yin kinship after his death.

Except for the previous generation, Master Hua is the only son.

This can never be a coincidence!

These piles and pieces are put together, and then think about the strange behavior of the talented master, and the cruel truth is ready to come out!

If it’s not a coincidence, then it’s natural.

Madam Hua lost her soul, and her mind was numb.

When she came back to her senses, she found herself in the room of the eldest son, and the room was still filled with a lingering smell of medicine.

A window was opened on the east side. Hua Xi, who was full of sickness, was sitting by the window wearing a black cloak. He heard the sound and looked towards Mrs. Hua, and shouted, "Mother."

His eye sockets and cheeks were slightly sunken because of his thinness. He still looked weak, his voice was hoarse, and he was short of breath, but he was no longer dying like this morning.

This face is exactly the same as Hua Zhao's, but because of illness and weight loss, the two brothers only look alike.

"Brother Xi!" Madam Hua shouted in a trembling voice, her eyes were blurred, and a few scattered strands of hair were stuck to her cheeks with cold sweat. The usually dignified woman showed a rare embarrassment at this moment.

"Mother, don't worry," Hua Xi forced a smile and said with relief, "I ate the ginseng soup prepared by Dr. Wang, and it's much better. My illness will soon be cured."

This sentence    was like a knife stabbed deeply into Mrs. Hua's heart. The knife stirred repeatedly in her heart, causing her pain.

She held Huaxi's skinny hand tightly, and the tears rolled down again.

In the short half of the day, she didn't know how many tears she had shed, and her eyes were already dry and burning.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Huaxi asked with concern, noticing that his mother was holding the genealogy in his hand, "Mother, what are you doing with the genealogy?"

Madam Hua's tears flowed even more violently, her heart and soul were torn apart, and she said things while crying, in a mess, from her marriage with the Lu family, to what Gu Er girl said, to his relationship with him. The second brother's illness is all said.

In the end, she said heartily: "Your father is so cruel!"

Hua Xi is frail, but a smart person, he straightened out the ins and outs with a snap of his fingers, and his face changed instantly.

It turned out that he was dying at a young age, not because of his physical weakness, but because of his father's harm. Every generation of the Hua family has men who died young for some ulterior purpose.

"Mother!" Hua Xi held Madam Hua's hand instead, her slightly yellowed eyes were blood red due to a long illness, "Help me, I don't want to die!"

"Please!"

He is only eighteen years old, he does not want to die.

He should have had a bright and splendid life. With his talent and learning, it would be easy to get a title on the Golden List in the future. Why did he die because of his father's selfishness!

Obviously he and his second brother have twins, he is the eldest brother, but his father wants to sacrifice him, not the second brother? !

Why? !

Just because the second brother was healthier than him, did the father choose to sacrifice the sick and weak him? !

He is sixteen-year-old Jie Yuan, obviously he is better than his second brother!

Hua Xi was in despair, holding Madam Hua's hand and shaking violently, she was emotional, and she didn't see the usual gentleness at all.

"Brother Xi." Madam Hua's trembling hand gently caressed the eldest son's cheek, and her heart ached even more.

At this moment, her head was buzzing, and an ethereal female voice sounded near and far, with a seductive charm: "There is no one else who can save your son. Only you."

"The Infinite View. Take the Hua family tree to the Infinite View."

"Secret Gu said, only I can save you." Mrs. Hua muttered to herself, "She said that I would take the family tree of the Hua family to go to Boundless View."

"She also said that the sins of the soul come from the family, from generation to generation, as long as the offerings continue, they will never stop."

"Enshrined?" Huaxi thought about it for a while, his eyes flashed with light, and asked thoughtfully, "Mother, are those elders of the clan who died in immeasurable view?"

"That's right." Madam Hua nodded.

Immeasurable Temple has a prominent reputation in the capital, and no other temple and Taoist temple can match it. Like most prominent families in the capital, the Hua family also enshrines the tablets of ancestors and clansmen in Boundless Temple.

Madam Hua frowned tightly and speculated: "Could Er girl want me to go to the Infinite View to destroy the worship, so that this harmful sorcery can be interrupted?!"

This is indeed what she can do, but Miss Gu Er is inconvenient to do it.

Hua Xi also thought so, and eagerly echoed: "It must be like this."

He held Madam Hua's hand tightly and looked at her with admiration, "Mother, my father is so cruel... I can only rely on you!"

"Mother, you won't let me down, will you?"

At this moment, Huaxi's eyes were exceptionally bright, as if the dying person saw some panacea.

"Everything is left to Mother." Madam Hua nodded, her voice hoarse, "Mother will definitely save you!"

Mrs. Hua seemed to draw strength from her son's gaze, and her whole person became high in fighting spirit.

Shortly after returning to the mansion, she left in a hurry.

This time, her carriage went to Mount Wuliang.

When the    carriage arrived at Wuliang Mountain, it was almost unitary hour.

Mrs. Hua hurried up the mountain. Even though the weather was not hot, she was already sweating profusely, and there was only one thought left in her mind: she wanted to save her brother Xi.

"Let me go to the Hall of Rebirth!" she said after catching a little Taoist boy.

Xiaodaotong said with a smile: "This woman is a good believer, the hall of rebirth is being repaired, and the lord of the temple has ordered the hall to be closed, and will not entertain pilgrims recently..."

He wanted to say, ask the other party to come back another day, but Madam Hua, who was so anxious, didn't have the patience to listen to what he had to say, and said eagerly: "Guanzhu... Where is the real person Xuancheng? I want to see the real person Xuancheng!"

As she said, she searched for the trace of the real person Xuancheng.

Madam Hua rushed to the inside of the temple without hesitation, grabbed a Taoist priest and asked, "Where is the real Xuancheng?"

asked several people in a row, but got no answer. Madam Hua became even more anxious, and the back of her neck seemed to feel the chill of the guillotine sticking to her skin.

The Daotong at the back shouted out breathlessly "Women's Good Faith" and chased after her, thinking that this lady was crazy.

Suddenly, Madam Hua's eyes lit up, and she saw an old Taoist wearing a blue coat walking out of a temple. The old Taoist was immortal, with a childlike appearance. At first glance, he was completely different from the other Taoists around.

Laodao was surrounded by a dozen men who looked like scholars, and there was a picturesque boy in white who was talking to him.

Madam Hua's eyes were glued to the old man's body, only he could be seen in her eyes, and no one else could be seen.

That must be the real Xuancheng!

There is not much time left for her... When the time is up, both of her sons will die.
