ATBLM [QT] Chapter 79.1

As night fell, the Huo Mansion in Fengcheng was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. It looked full of joy, but there was no joy at all on the faces of the servants who were rushing to and fro.

The lampshade of the desk lamp has a red double happiness sticker on it and the light that shines from it has a warm red color.

Jiang Rui was sitting in the room dressed in wedding clothes, with unfocused eyes and a slightly stunned expression on her face

Many people around her were so busy and they finally retreated. Nanny Li, who had watched her grow up since she was a child, hesitated to speak. Finally, she sighed: “Xiao Qi¹Xiao Qi: lit. Little Seven, because she is ranked seventh among the children.– Madam, please rest early.”

Jiang Rui slowly rolled her eyes. It seemed that it took a lot of effort to understand that she was calling herself and the corners of her mouth twitched. Because she hadn’t spoken for a long time, her voice was a little hoarse, but people could still hear the young woman’s pleasantness and beauty: “I know, Nanny Li also went to bed early.”

Nanny Li sighed again, looked at the person lying on the bed, shook her head, and closed the door.

The room was quiet for a while. Jiang Rui sat for a while, making sure that no one would come again. Then, she got up from the sofa, walked to the bed, and looked at her target this time.

The person on the bed was in a deep sleep. Even though his eyes were closed and his complexion was pale due to blood loss, his sharp eyebrows, high bridge of nose, and tight thin lips showed that this person must be cold and strong when he is awake.

This is exactly the case. Huo Changyao is the eldest son of Huo’s family. Ten years ago, the Old Master Huo was killed. Huo Changyao, who was only a weakling at the time, inherited his father’s position. In the eyes of some people who were not optimistic, he took control of the power left by his father in the shortest time.

Although he is young, his methods are vigorous and resolute. He has repeatedly promoted available talents, weeded out the old fried dough sticks who were left without food, and made drastic measures to rectify and expand. In just a few years, he has pushed the Huo family to another level. Who sees him now did not say anything respectful and call out Marshal Huo?

More than a month ago, Huo Changyao went outside the city to patrol his troops. On his way back to the city, he was assassinated. The attackers had been planning for a long time and had hidden agents around him. Although Huo Changyao escaped, he was accidentally shot twice and fell unconscious

The fact that he was injured was widely publicized by those who were interested. Although most of the generals in the army promoted by him were loyal, but some people took advantage of this to fish in troubled waters, causing people to feel uneasy and panic.

This especially happened in the Huo Mansion.

Old Master Huo was wild and uninhibited when he was a young man. In addition to his main wife, he also married two or three concubines, as well as several outside confidantes. However, among so many women, only his main wife gave him two sons and one daughter. The second concubines gave birth to a son, and when they were raised to adulthood, only Huo Changyao, the eldest son of his main wife, and Huo Changlin, the second son of the second concubine, were left. The others all died in infancy.

The Old Madam Huo has experienced the pain of separation from flesh and blood several times. Now, she only regards Huo Changyao as her lifeblood. Everyone thought that if something happened to Marshal Huo, she would definitely fall. No one thought that this small and stubborn old lady, not only did not shed a single tear, but also survived to this day.

When the doctor was helpless, the Old Madam Huo found a Taoist from nowhere. The Taoist saw Huo Changyao, dropped a red piece of paper with the eight characters of birth date written on it, asked the Old Madam to find the girl above, and gave Huo Changyao joy. There might be a turning point.

The Huo family searched around, and finally, found that the person who completely matched the birth date was Pan Susu, the Seventh Lady adopted by the Old Lady Huo.

Pan Susu’s parents have died since she was a child. Because her father was the old subordinate of Old Master Huo, Old Master Huo took her back to Huo’s family and raised her in Huo’s family. There were several children like her in the Huo family and she ranked seventh.

Although she has no father or mother, the Huo family treats her no differently than a real young lady. Pan Susu grew up carefree and developed a lively and outgoing character. After Old Madam Huo lost her only daughter, she became even more fond of her.

With such deep kindness, when the Old Madam Huo, who had always been strict and rigid, knelt down to her and asked her to save Huo Changyao, how could Pan Susu refuse?

Even if the person in her heart is not Huo Changyao, she can only agree with tears.

Two days ago, seeing the wedding day approaching, Pan Susu, who was distressed, went out to relax, accidentally fell into the sea, and died. Jiang Rui made an exchange with her at this time.

Although she died, Pan Susu was relieved. She hoped that Jiang Rui could repay the Huo family’s nurturing grace for her. If possible, she would take another look at Huo Changlin for her.

Huo Changlin is the second son of the Huo family and was born to the second concubine, who stayed abroad for several years and never came back.

He is the one who Pan Susu never forgets.

There were a few louder noises from the street, and the Huo Mansion, which had some movement just now, became increasingly quiet.

Jiang Rui checked Huo Changyao yesterday. The reason why he was unconscious is most likely due to a blood clot in his brain.

She put her fingers on the back of his head and sent out a very fine stream of spiritual energy from her fingertips, removing the congestion bit by bit. The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Even if she was sure, she did not dare to take it lightly. This process continued until the sky turned white.
