Chapter 739: Searching for the Child's Mother 3
Although he couldn't figure it out, Hong Hu didn't have the confidence to confront his boss, so he went to the wedding banquet with a smile.
After waiting for half a year, Hong Hu began to ask a matchmaker to help him find a wife.
His current position is somewhat awkward; he is a sixth-rank General of the Central Army, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and he had a former wife.
All the daughters of families of equal status are married, and those who are not married will not be given to him as a stepmother, so he can only be compatible with the younger generation.
But not everyone wants to send their daughters away to marry a rich and powerful man. Even if there are some, they would like to find a more powerful man who is willing to marry their daughter to him.
He also looked down upon people's fawning behavior, thinking that if they did, their daughter would probably always side with her parents.
I guess the woman who marries him won't be on his side and may even cause him trouble.
Hong Hu himself looked down on commoner women and wanted a daughter of an official.
All these conditions combined left him with even fewer choices. He finally found someone who was similar enough and was ready to talk about marriage.
The next day, Luo Chen told that family about his experience. The most important point of the marriage alliance was to have a relationship that could make things happen.
Hong Hu actually sent the child away, and all the hard work of his own aunt who married into the family was in vain.
Isn't it a waste? It would be better to find someone new to marry.
Afterwards, the matchmaker discovered that almost everyone Hong Hu liked refused the marriage.
Hong Hu was also wondering what went wrong. He had been looking for a marriage partner for two years but had not been able to find one.
The Liu family on the other side was not having a good time either. They named the child Liu Xuan and loved him very much since he was young, but when the child was young, he suffered from a minor illness every three days.
He fell seriously ill every five days and consulted many doctors. They said the baby was born with dystocia.
Therefore, if you are weak, you need to take good medicines such as ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, and snow lotus regularly to nourish your body.
Liu De saw that the child was white and chubby, but he didn't expect that he was actually a sickly child. He sighed and went to buy medicine for the child.
After all, this child will be his heir in the future, and his wife loves this child so much.
In the days that followed, the child suffered from a minor illness every three days and a serious illness every five days. He took ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus and other top-quality medicines every day.
In just three years, half of Liu De's family fortune was spent on medicine, but the child showed no sign of improvement.
Not only did he take medicine, Liu De discovered that the child had an extremely violent temper. He was yelling at first, but later he was able to move on his own.
He began to smash the furnishings in the room and the wet nurse and servants who took care of him.
The wet nurse left immediately after Liu Xuan was weaned. She was bruised and battered by this little master, with blood and teeth marks all over her chest. She really couldn't stand it anymore.
Seeing this, Liu De and his wife had no choice but to give the wet nurse more money and let her leave, but she was told not to say anything wrong.
The grateful wet nurse took the money and rode out of the house at full speed, fearing that Liu De would go back on his word.
For more than a year afterwards, the child was taken care of personally by Liu De and his wife, Mrs. Hu. Mrs. Hu was exhausted by the child's troubles.
Both of them saw that the child was simply out of control. He had a willful temper and kicked and punched the servants around him.
He used Hu's hairpin to pierce the legs and arms of his personal maid, leaving many bloody holes, and then he pressed the servant to the ground.
He pulled her hair down forcefully, pulling it handful by handful, until blood came out.
When Mrs. Hu tried to stop him, he waved the small stool back and forth, crying and shouting, not wanting anyone to pass by. He also said that his mother didn't love him, otherwise why would she do that for a few dogs.
After teaching him a lesson, Mrs. Hu immediately covered her chest and could not stand still. The servants also looked at Liu Xuan with strange eyes.
Such a young child doesn't treat people as human beings. What will happen to him when he grows up?
Mrs. Hu fainted from anger. When Liu De found out, he came over and gave her a good scolding before Liu Xuan calmed down.
Liu De looked at his son, who was almost five years old, and thought it was time for him to start enlightenment. If he was taught by a teacher and learned the teachings of sages, he should be able to make some progress.
So he found a scholar to educate his son, but on the first day, Liu Xuan stood quietly behind the scholar with a wooden stick.
A stick hit the scholar on the head and blood gushed out. The scholar covered his head and stepped back, quickly asking his servants to find Liu De.
When Liu De arrived, he was shocked and immediately asked someone to call a doctor to treat the scholar's injuries. Then, looking at Liu Xuan's smug expression, he suddenly became furious.
After asking someone to punish him according to the family rules, Liu Xuan immediately turned around and fled, running to the Hu family to seek refuge.
In Hu's heart, he cried and made a fuss, saying that his father wanted to beat him to death because of an outsider.
Hu didn't understand what was going on, so she stopped Liu De who was looking for someone, and after Liu De's explanation.
Only then did he realize that Liu Xuan had hit the head of the teacher he hired to teach him and made it bleed. He was immediately shocked and looked at Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan said confidently, "I'm not wrong, that person has a foul smell, it almost suffocated me.
I just used his blood to wash away the stench on his body, otherwise I would be suffocated to death. Dad and Mom, you can't do this for a outsider.
Just get suffocated and die. I am your biological son. Who will inherit your property after I die?
The death of an outsider has no bearing on us, so let him die."
Liu De and Hu Shi simply couldn't believe that the person who wanted to kill someone came from their son whom they had raised for almost five years. Liu De was furious.
He immediately had Liu Xuan tied up and held him in the ancestral hall: "You evil creature, you are so cruel and ruthless. Today, your father will teach you a lesson."
Liu Xuan struggled and yelled, "No, I did nothing wrong, no, Dad, don't hit me."
Liu De personally picked up the board and hit him. Liu Xuan screamed in pain and struggled desperately. In the end, he couldn't struggle anymore and cursed angrily.
"You old fool, why don't you just die? How dare you hit me? Wait until I inherit the family business.
I will kick you out right now, you old fool, and let you live with the beggars and die on the streets."
Liu De's body stiffened, and he suddenly felt the blood rushing through his body. The man staggered, and the butler behind him hurriedly supported him.
Liu De felt someone supporting him and immediately fainted. The housekeeper asked someone to send Liu De back to Mrs. Hu and explain the whole story.
Mrs. Hu was so angry that tears came to her eyes. She made up her mind and had Liu Xuan locked up in the ancestral hall and made him kneel down. She hoped that he would realize his mistakes.
When will they be released? They are not allowed to eat during this period.
The butler nodded and left. Knowing what kind of person his eldest master was, he did not untie the man, but tied him up and laid him on the ground, then closed the door of the ancestral hall.
Liu Xuan couldn't struggle free and started cursing, but no one paid any attention to him.
