Curious and nervous, the Lord of Yongchang County carefully opened the window and looked up to see clearly that the body of a man was hanging there.

His eyes were wide open, staring straight at her.

Yongchang County Lord's blood surged, his mind went blank, he opened his mouth wide and screamed at the top of his lungs, and then fainted.

When Huo Changxian got the news, not long after he fell asleep, he suddenly heard the boy knocking on the door and calling him.

"Young Master, Young Master! Something happened with the County Lord."

Huo Changxian immediately sat up and opened the door quickly: "What's wrong with mother?"

"The lady in the county lord's yard came to report that there was a corpse hanging under the county lord's window. The county lord was frightened and fainted. Please go and have a look!"

Huo Changxian walked quickly outside the hospital and asked as he walked, "Is there any other news?"

"No."

Huo Changxian felt a little uneasy. The men he sent to kill Liu Da and others have not returned yet.

Things were not going well these days, and he was very anxious.

As soon as I walked out of the hospital, I met two people, the same people who were sent out.

"Sir!" The two men stepped forward quickly.

Huo Changxian glanced at the heads in their hands and felt slightly relieved. Since he had done it, there was no need to rush to report it immediately.

"Is it done?"

"Go back to me, sir, let's..."

Before the two of them finished speaking, Huo Changxian waved his hand and said: "No need to say more, we will talk about it later."

He left in a hurry, and the two looked at each other in confusion: "Liu Da and the others have solved it, but it seems that something went wrong in other aspects, and they haven't had time to say..."

Huo Changxian quickly arrived at the Yongchang County Lord's yard. The lights were already on in the yard, it was bright inside and outside the house, and the white color gradually appeared in the east.

When he saw the corpse hanging under the window, his heart suddenly tightened.

The body was facing away from him, and he didn't know who it was. The other maids and women knelt on the ground, but no one had the courage to take the body off.

Huo Changxian ordered: "Here, hurry up and get the body down!"

The nurse who was following behind him quickly stepped forward. Huo Changxian took a closer look and his expression changed slightly.

"It's him?"

His head was full of questions, what's going on? Didn't this person go to the governor's office to kill Liu Da? And just now I saw that the person who went with him clearly had a human head in his hand.

But why did this body appear under my mother's window?

Huo Changxian calmed down and entered the room. The Lord of Yongchang County was not awake yet, and the doctor was sweating profusely from his work.

"How is mother?"

The doctor quickly saluted and said: "Back to the eldest son, the county master was injured and had stagnation of liver qi, and he was frightened again this time... He needs to take good care of himself."

"No matter what, mother must be cured," Huo Changxian ordered, "without any neglect."

"Yes, I will obey the eldest son's orders."

The government doctor administered a few injections, and the head of Yongchang County slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes, he was filled with fear.

"Mother, don't be afraid, mother. My son is here," Huo Changxian held her clasping hand. "Don't worry, take a good rest. My son will handle the rest."

The head of Yongchang County was obviously unconscious and shook his hand away: "What can you handle?! Which of these things have you handled well? It's useless!"

Huo Changxian looked at the hand that was thrown away, astonishment, sadness, and confusion quickly flashed in his eyes.

"Mother……"

The doctor lowered his head, quickly took up the needle, and carrying the medicine box, he bent down and retreated to the outhouse to write a prescription.

The Lord of Yongchang County gradually woke up, put his hand on his forehead and said, "Are you scared? My mother is so sick that she is confused. Xian'er, you don't blame your mother, do you?"

Huo Changxian clenched the hand that was thrown away and tugged at the corner of his mouth: "What did mother say? It was because the son was unfilial and did not do well, which made mother angry."

The Lord of Yongchang County extended his hand, and Huo Changxian hesitated to hold it.

"Mother has high expectations for you, Xian'er. Her love is deep and her responsibility is deep. You have to live up to your expectations!"

"Yes, please keep this in mind, son."

The head of Yongchang County sighed: "Who is that?"

"They were the ones sent to kill Liu Da," Huo Changxian said truthfully. "I haven't asked about the specific facts yet."

"Then ask, check, and find out what's going on!" Yongchang County Chief's voice increased, "Since that woman arrived, nothing has gone as planned!"

Huo Changxian was silent for a moment: "Mother, rest first. My son will go check out the prescription and prepare the medicine for you later."

"What kind of medicine are you making?" Yongchang County Lord frowned and asked, "With so many servants, do you need to make medicine? What you should be doing is big things, not the back house!"

"Yes, my son understands. Let's go check on the corpse now."

"We need to investigate the matter of the corpse, but don't go too far. It's just a subordinate. If he dies, he will die. The focus is on the big things. What is the situation of that woman and his son? Why is it so different from what we expected? Far away? Have you checked clearly?"

"I……"

"Then it's gone?" Yongchang County Lord exhaled heavily and closed his eyes, "Go and check. When we find out, we will get back to you."

"Yes."

Huo Changxian lowered his head, exited the room, walked to the yard, looked back at the window, and left slowly.

The Lord of Yongchang County in the room kept his eyes closed and did not look at him at all.

Yan Ruyu outside the back window frowned slightly.

The sky was getting brighter, and she and Huo Changhe left quickly.

"The whistle was well done," Huo Changhe got into the carriage and poured a cup of hot tea for Yan Ruyu.

"There is something that I feel is a bit strange," Yan Ruyu took a sip of tea, "My lord, do you feel that the Yongchang County Lord's attitude towards Huo Changxian is a bit different."

Huo Changhe paused slightly: "Is it too harsh? Some people believe that a loving mother will often lose her son, and there are not many like mothers."

The eldest lady has always been kind to the three brothers. She only wants to be safe, not to be outstanding.

"It's not harsh," Yan Ruyu thought for a while, then uttered two words, "Dislike."

Huo Changhe raised his eyebrows slightly: "Dislike it?"

"Yes, I didn't pay much attention to it before in front of the city gate. It was noisy and in front of others, so I naturally wouldn't show my true emotions. But just now, especially when the Yongchang County Lord was not fully conscious, her Everything he says and does shows this emotion.”

Huo Changhe thought about it carefully: "But this doesn't make sense. Huo Changxian is her only hope. Without this son, she would not be able to have anything to do with her father. I think she was determined to give birth to Huo Changxian, but she was also thinking She used her child to capture her father's thoughts, but unfortunately, her plan failed. She didn't expect that even if she had a child, her father wouldn't even look at her."

Yan Ruyu did not look at the slight ripples of tea: "Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that she hates Huo Changxian. Instead of becoming a bargaining chip for her, this child has become a black spot, even... a shame."

Huo Changhe was stunned. He really couldn't guess what this woman was thinking.

Yan Ruyu slowly calculated. It seemed that she had to find an opportunity to meet Huo Changxian. It was time to find out something.
