"What happened next?" Lin Hao asked.

Madam Huo sighed, "Later, I married into the Huo family, and Huo Yan was powerless to resist.

I only learned the truth after I entered the room, but it was too late. In this world, once a woman is married, there is no reason to regret it. I originally thought that I took the position of his sweetheart, and Huo Yan would be angry with me, but he did not transfer his anger to me.

In the end, he didn't hold on for long because he was depressed and his wounds didn't heal, so he passed away.

Huo's mother attributed Huo Yan's death entirely to her and Huo's father. Within two years, she died. After a series of blows, Huo's father's hair turned white overnight. He only lasted a few years before he died. Before he died, he still believed that he was not wrong, but I could see the regret in his eyes clearly. "

Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing never imagined that things would turn out like this.

Lin Hao asked: "What about you? Since all the members of the Huo family are gone, have you ever thought about taking your son out of this courtyard?"

Mrs. Huo was slightly stunned when she heard this. She remembered that before Huo Yan died, he had told her what to do next with a look of guilt in his eyes.

Huo Yan first called her parents, hoping that her father could adopt her as his adopted daughter so as not to affect her remarriage in the future.

But in the end, she did not follow the path arranged by Huo Yan. The education she had been exposed to since childhood was the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, and her husband was her heaven.

Moreover, she had fallen in love with Huo Yan since the first time she saw him, otherwise she would not have married him without hesitation even though she knew he was seriously ill.

After Huo's father died, she just wanted to raise Huo Rong and never thought of any other possibilities.

Madam Huo shook her head and said, "It's not easy to leave. I don't want to remarry, so it's good to stay here and raise my son."

Lin Hao looked around the study. The study was well-maintained, without a single dusty book. It was obvious that Mrs. Huo often came here to take care of it.

Lin Hao said: "You have trapped yourself in this study for too long. It's time to let go."

Madam Huo was stunned for a moment before she started to laugh. "Young Master is right, but this step is still too difficult for me."

Lin Hao asked: "Life is not easy, don't you think it's a pity if you just stay here?"

Madam Huo stared at the high courtyard wall outside the window and said, "Maybe, but I no longer have the strength to walk out of this courtyard."

Lin Hao understood that what Mrs. Huo said was true, and this was also the fate of most women in this era.

After Lin Hao learned the truth, he was about to leave, but Mrs. Huo stopped them and said, "This painting is the last one Huo Yan drew before he died. Could you please bring it to Miss Huan'er?"

Lin Hao nodded in agreement. After carefully taking down the painting, Madam Huo said, "Huo Rong is just my adopted child. Huo Yan and I have never slept together. The only person he thought about until his death was Miss Huan'er."

Lin Hao stopped and nodded: "I understand."

Looking at Lin Hao's receding back, Old Madam Huo stared into the distance.

She didn't say that after Huo Yan's death, she sent her father and brother to look for Huan'er. After all, she was Huo Yan's sweetheart, and now that Huo Yan was gone, she wanted to take care of her.

But after years of searching, no trace of the girl Huan'er was found.

I didn't expect to hear this familiar name again after fifty years.

Madam Huo said softly, "If possible, I really want to meet that elf-like woman you mentioned."

Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing went out through the main door.

The servant who had refused to report before was stunned when he saw two familiar faces. After the two walked out of the door, the servant touched his head in confusion.

Is he hallucinating?

When did you let these two people in?

After obtaining the painting, Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing did not stay in Qingyuan City any longer, but flew directly back to Utuo City on their swords.

It was already midnight when the two returned to Uto City, and Lin Hao knocked on the door of the inn where he had stayed before.

The waiter who was on night watch heard the noise and stood up cursing. "Who is it? Don't you know what time it is?"

But when he opened the door and saw the two familiar faces, the waiter felt his legs go weak. Why did these two monks who didn't sleep come back again?

And he was really successful. He even dared to scold the monks?

Lin Hao also knew that it was getting late and didn't care about the waiter's tone. If it were him, it would be normal to be a little grumpy after being woken up.

"Is there any room left?"

How could the waiter dare to say no?

He nodded desperately, fearing that if he answered too late, his life would be in danger.

Lin Hao didn't notice anything wrong with the other party, "Then give us two rooms upstairs."

The waiter tried hard to keep his balance, but his legs were still so soft that he just couldn't move.

Seeing the waiter leaning against the wall and unable to stand steadily, Lin Hao asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

The waiter tried to force a smile and said, "Sir, I'm fine. I just curled up my legs when I was sleeping. Fortunately, you just knocked on the door. Otherwise, if I curled up like this until I wake up tomorrow, my legs would probably be broken."

The waiter's particularly servile tone made Lin Hao ignore the forced smile.

At the same time, Lin Hao was thinking: This waiter seemed to be sleeping so soundly that he didn’t even notice that his legs were numb.

Lin Hao raised his hand and said, "Then I'll help you cure the numbness in your legs?"

Although Lin Hao is not a medical practitioner, he can still cure problems like leg numbness by simply pressing an acupoint.

Hearing that Lin Hao was about to take action, the waiter waved his hands and said, "No! No! I'm fine now!"

The waiter was really scared at this time. He was afraid that if the other party used a little force, he would be completely disabled.

The fear of becoming paralyzed at this moment overcame the fear he had when he scolded Lin Hao before.

The shop is small, so I took two or three steps at a time, two steps at a time, and reached the second floor in just a few steps.

"Sir, please go up to the second floor."

This set of actions made Lin Hao stunned. Was it so fast? He remembered that one minute ago, the other party was still unable to stand steadily?

Lin Jinxing, who was standing aside and taking in everything, curled the corners of his lips.

Junior brother is really stupid at times.

Before Lin Hao entered the door, he placed a spiritual stone in the hands of the waiter and said, "Tip."

Without waiting for the waiter's reaction, Lin Hao closed the door.

Only the waiter was left standing there in a daze, looking at the spirit stone in his hand.

I am so successful now! After scolding the monk, he actually gave me a tip!
