Chapter 740: Searching for the Child's Mother 4
After scolding for a whole day, Liu Xuan, who was thirsty and parched, finally couldn't scold anymore and started asking for water and food, but the servants only gave him water and no food.
After starving Liu Xuan for three whole days, he admitted his mistake with tears in his eyes and said that he would never do that again.
Liu Decai and Hu released the man and gave him food. Seeing that their son finally understood what was right and wrong, they were very relieved and went back in tears.
The two people who turned around did not see the hatred in Liu Xuan's eyes as he looked at them.
Afterwards, Liu Xuan was still violent and never had a good face towards the servants. He also made fun of the invited teacher.
Everyone in the neighborhood knew that Young Master Liuxia was a devil. No one dared to come to teach, and even the academy didn't want him. Liu De was exhausted and had to teach on his own.
But his knowledge was not very deep, and he could only teach Liu Xuan a few words. At first he thought of training this child well to study for the imperial examinations, and wait for him to pass the exams in the future.
With the secret help of their biological father Hong Hu, their Liu family could have successfully entered the official family, but now it seems that they still have to look forward to having a grandson.
At this moment, he regretted bringing the child back. He used to think that a newborn baby could be taught well if he was well educated, but now it seems.
Things inherited in blood cannot be ignored sometimes. If he had known this earlier, he would have adopted other children and should not have coveted Hong Hu's power.
Although Liu Xuan didn't dare to be too harsh on Liu De and Hu for the time being, he didn't like studying and tried every means to avoid learning various things.
He just played every day, and when he was eight years old, he had a very bad temper.
Luo Chen saw all these things. He looked at Liu De's dwindling wealth and the two exhausted servants who had run away and only a few were left.
Luo Chen looked at his son, Wei Huaijun, who was only eight years old and had received a lot of praise from his teacher.
He also learned martial arts from Luo An. He was good at both literature and martial arts, and he was also good-looking. He was also proficient in a little bit of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. All the little girls in the neighborhood loved to play with him.
Wei Huaijun didn't know his own life experience. Luo Chen didn't tell him. He only knew that his father had died a long time ago and he only missed his mother.
Hong Hu, on the other hand, got married, and finally married the daughter of a ninth-rank official. After two years of marriage, his wife had not given birth to a child, so he had to take a concubine.
He had five or six concubines, both good and bad, but none of them gave birth to a child for him in the past few years, and everyone knew that Hong Hu was infertile.
Of course Luo Chen didn't make it easy for him either. She secretly gave a lot of help to some of Hong Hu's competitors and rivals.
In the past few years, Hong Hu has fallen from a sixth-rank Zhonglang to an eighth-rank Dianyi, and almost no one pays attention to him.
He has been depressed for eight years. He is already in his thirties and has no children at home.
Hong Hu often thought of the curse Luo Chen made on him before he left, "no descendants".
He sent one of his sons away without hesitation, simply because he thought that he would have many children in the future, and sending one away would be a way of repaying a favor.
It can be considered as fulfilling his kindness, but if the price is that he will have no descendants and no family line, then he will never give the child away easily.
I have had nothing to do these days and I miss my eldest son whom I gave away more and more. When I feel sleepy, someone sends me a pillow. Liu De has sent me a letter.
He wanted to ask Hong Hu for a martial arts teacher to teach him martial arts, and Hong Hu immediately picked out a former subordinate.
He personally took people to the Liu family to see his only son.
Liu De didn't expect Hong Hu to come in person. Although he didn't want his son to see his biological father, Hong Hu was an official after all, so he didn't dare to show any emotion.
He brought the person in very kindly. Hong Hu looked at Liu Xuan, who was a strong and sturdy boy, and fell in love with him, but he thought of Liu De.
He immediately controlled his emotions and recommended his subordinates to Liu De with a smile.
After staying here and chatting with Liu Xuan for two days, he hurried back to duty. During these two days, Liu Xuan pretended very well and did not let Hong Hu discover anything.
Liu De felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Liu Xuan's well-behaved appearance. Is it really the nature of father and son, and are they connected by blood?
But when he saw Hong Hu leave immediately, Liu De felt relieved.
Liu Xuan always remembered the day when he was beaten in the ancestral hall by Liu De's men, and the uncomfortable feeling of being unable to resist, so when he saw Master Wu.
He did not treat Master Wen like he did to Master Wu, but instead learned from Master Wu sincerely. One day, he would avenge himself on these two old guys.
Three years later, Luo Chen's son Wei Huaijun passed the examination and became a student, and Liu Xuan also learned all of Master Wu's skills.
At this point no one could hold him down anymore, and Master Wu left.
And the Liu family's property has been almost lost over the years because Liu Xuan relied on his martial arts to cause trouble outside. Liu De looked at Liu Xuan's current condition.
He regretted deeply that he shouldn't have brought the child back. What he didn't know was that Liu Xuan was secretly in contact with Hong Hu.
The letters were full of intimacy in which Liu Xuan called Hong Hu "Dad". In every letter, he complained to Hong Hu about how badly the Liu family treated him.
Hong Hu comforted him with great concern, saying that he would take his son back after Liu De and his wife died.
Liu De knew that he had to save some money for his retirement, so he sold the last of the Liu family's assets and kept the money in his own hands.
In the future, all they had to do was to ensure that their son would not starve to death. After a hundred years had passed, they would no longer care about their son. However, after the Liu family had bought out all of their remaining assets.
When Liu Xuan couldn't get the good things, he rushed into Liu De and Hu's bedroom in anger and snatched the silver.
He punched and kicked Liu De and Hu and said, "It's all because of you two old fools. You couldn't give birth to a son, so you snatched me from the Hong family.
You turned me from a high-ranking official's son into the son of you two lowly people, and you even dared to hit me.
God will repay you for all the wrongs you have suffered in the past with interest."
"How did you know?" Liu De asked nervously.
Liu Xuan said arrogantly: "Of course my father told me, my father said that he would take me back after you die.
But I can't stand your cowardice anymore, so I'm going to take revenge before I leave."
The two elderly people were beaten and cried in pain. The neighbors heard them but did not dare to come over because Liu Xuan had a reputation as a tough guy in recent years.
There is no family that has not been harmed by him.
After the fight, Liu Xuan took the Liu family's last few hundred taels of silver and said with a smile.
"I'm going home to be a young master now. You two old fools, just stay here and struggle."
After Liu Xuan left, Liu De shouted heartbreakingly: "Hong Hu, you ungrateful bastard, I shouldn't have saved you in the first place."
After saying this, he fainted from anger.
Liu Xuan returned to the Hong family with the silver.
