FSC [QT] Chapter 26.3

Xiao Lindong made a request to his grandfather to study in an academy a hundred miles away from home. He disdained the Xiao family’s property and wanted to stay away from this quagmire and make a name for himself with his own abilities.

But Wu Fangmeng did not think that this was Xiao Lindong’s concession. Instead, she was worried that the other party would be out of control after leaving home. She used his precious legitimate son as a prop to design a drama in which Xiao Lindong pushed his legitimate younger brother into the water.

Naturally, the precious legitimate son was rescued by a servant the moment he fell into the water. While Xiao Lindong, who cruelly ‘pushed’ his younger brother into the water, soaked most of the incense stick in the cold lake water until he was about to drown before being rescued by the servants around the Duke.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see whose plan this was, but at that time, the Wu family was at its peak, and there was a more noble grandson, so Xiao Lindong was naturally given up.

He was exterminated and sent to Huo An.

However, in the years since he left, the county government had not been so stable.

The late Emperor passed away, and the Wu family stood on the wrong side, offending the new Emperor who succeeded him. Wu Fangmeng’s father was forced to retire, and the Wu family’s children in the court were demoted for various reasons.

Xiao Fu’en hated Wu Fangmeng, his wife. After the Wu family’s defeat, he became even more unscrupulous in his sexual behavior with women. He kept everything that smelled good and smelly in his yard.

It didn’t know if it was because of excessive indulgence, but there were more women in the backyard, but no woman gave birth to a son or a daughter.

Wu Fangmeng knew that she no longer had the capital that she was proud of before, so she could live a peaceful life with his legitimate son. But who knew that her legitimate son was infected with smallpox in an accident and died of the disease not long after?

How could a large county government have no heir?

The Old Duke and Xiao Fu’en both began to panic and began to pay attention to the issue of heirs again.

As Huo Lindong thought, at first they did not think about bringing back this eldest grandson/eldest son who was cold-hearted to them, but they thought about having another child.

The Old Duke specially asked the doctor from a hospital who had been retired from old age to take care of his son’s health. It was found that there was something wrong with the pulse diagnosis. Xiao Fu’en was given a domineering sterilization drug, and the possibility of childbirth had long been eliminated.

This was also the reason why there had been no good news coming from Xiao Fu’en’s backyard over the years.

The sterilization drug was given by Wu Fangmeng. She was afraid that another difficult bastard would come and snatch the family property from her son. In addition, the Wu family was in decline at that time.

In order to ensure her status, Wu Fangmeng did not allow Xiao Fu’en to have a third son.

In order to avoid future troubles, she simply gave Xiao Fu’en sterilization medicine.

When this matter was found out, Wu Fangmeng, who had no son by her side and whose natal family was defeated, naturally couldn’t get over it. She was kept in a remote courtyard and suffered all kinds of torture.

Xiao Fu’en was naturally unable to recover from such a blow and became even more addicted to women. Not long ago, he had an affair with a popular female prostitute in a brothel and contracted a disease. Now even if the remaining poison of the sterilization drug was removed, he had no chance of having children.

He heard from a servant that Xiao Fu’en was now isolated in his own courtyard by Old Duke Xiao. Even though he hired the best doctors and took the most expensive medicines, the skin and flesh on his body still kept getting sores and ulcers. He was afraid that he wouldn’t live long.

Old Duke Xiao suffered such blows one after another and was forced to think of his eldest grandson whom he had given up on.

This may be the so-called natural justice and retribution.

Huo Lindong thought about the information he had learned. His body was more important than he imagined.
