Chapter 189 Father’s love is like a mountain
Huo Yuncong stood still. His previous humility and tenderness disappeared without a trace. Instead, he looked directly at Mrs. Huo with a cold look, ready to face any storm that might come.
Under that cold gaze like a sharp blade, Mrs. Huo's body seemed to be imprisoned by an invisible force. Every drop of her blood seemed to be locked by ice in an instant. The pain in her heart grew like vines, entwining her heart and making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Once upon a time, facing Huo Yuncong's sunny smile, her heart was stirred with unprecedented ripples. The spark of love at first sight prompted her to pull him into her own world regardless of everything, even worldly prejudices.
The joy of the wedding banquet, the sweetness of the newlyweds, during that period, Huo Yuncong took meticulous care of her. She naively thought that this was the most beautiful form of love, and she had gained the purest emotion in the world.
However, as time passed, the passion receded like the tide, and she began to feel that he lacked the fortitude and courage that a man should have. The young man who once vowed to make a name for himself in the sun gradually faded in her eyes and became a docile but seemingly lacking courage.
Even so, whenever the night was quiet, she still longed for his gentle embrace, and that imperceptible warmth became her comfort in the long winter nights.
In her opinion, although this marriage lacks some romance and passion, it can be considered stable and harmonious.
It was not until this moment that she realized how ridiculous her thoughts were. It turned out that she had never truly touched the world inside Huo Yuncong.
The gentleness and thoughtfulness he displayed during those years was actually just a mask behind his superb acting skills. What kind of heart was hidden behind it that would make him take such cruel revenge on her?
She gave him everything she had, including status, wealth, and even fame, without reservation. Why was he still so greedy? Was there really no end to the abyss of desire?
Huo Yuncong, how can you be so silent!
Mrs. Huo's voice suddenly rose, and her anger burned in her chest like a flame, as if she wanted to burn all the hypocrisy to ashes.
Instead of responding to her anger, Huo Yuncong suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter was a bit sad at first, and then it intensified and became crazy, like the thunder before a storm, shaking the air around him, and finally stopped abruptly, leaving only the sarcastic sneer at the corner of his mouth.
There is no need to say anything more, Wang Zhao, don't you understand? His words were as cold as ice, and every word was a mockery of her self-righteousness.
Mrs. Huo stared at him in a daze. The confusion and contradictions in her heart were like a myriad of threads that made her almost lost.
The Huo Yuncong in her memory, the high-spirited and tenacious young man, overlapped with the hateful man in front of her. The beauty of the past was like a sharp blade, ruthlessly piercing her heart.
What is the reason for betrayal? Is my love and sacrifice for you not enough to satisfy your greed?
Your love? It's a pleasure built on the grave of my first wife, isn't it?
Huo Yuncong's voice was heavy and indignant, and every word he said was as resounding as a boulder. The hatred contained in it was like a thousand-year-old ice, piercing through the bones and heart.
He recalled his wife who had stayed with him when he was at his lowest point, who had silently endured the hardships of life just to support his dreams and endured the financial difficulties of life, just hoping that he would be successful one day.
But when glory came and he longed to share it with her, what awaited him was her cold body.
The official announcement was that she committed suicide out of despair, but in Huo Yuncong's heart, the hidden mastermind behind this was none other than the Wang family. They threatened her with his and his daughter's lives, forcing her into despair.
Her innocent death became a shadow that would never dissipate in his heart, and a sin that the Wang family would never be able to wash away.
First wife? What about me? What am I in your eyes? Mrs. Huo's fingers trembled, and she could hardly control her emotions. She also gave birth to children for him. How could that deep love be easily erased?
Huo Yun never said a word, but his eyes told it all. The deep hatred and disdain in his eyes made Mrs. Huo suddenly realize that she was just a pawn in his revenge plan. Even her daughter Sisi had never been truly accepted in his heart.
At this moment, Mrs. Huo's heart seemed to have fallen into endless ice. All her hopes and fantasies were shattered at this moment.
She restrained her out-of-control emotions, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
Huo Yuncong, do you know the consequences of betraying me?
Huo Yuncong closed his eyes, his face showing an unprecedented calmness: Kill me.
Mrs. Huo sneered: "Seeking death? It's not that simple. The price of betraying me will be a torture worse than death!"
In the dark and damp dungeon, the air was filled with the smell of corruption and despair. Huo Yuncong and Liang Qiuyue were ruthlessly abandoned here. Both of them were covered in scars, and Liang Qiuyue was extremely weak.
At the critical moment of life and death, Huo Yuncong struggled to hand the ointment in his hand to his daughter. His eyes were firm, filled with a father's infinite love and reluctance for his daughter.
Mrs. Huo stood on a high place and indifferently dropped a bottle of medicine to choose life or death, with a cold and cruel light flashing in her eyes.
There is only one bottle of medicine, and life and death are up to you. After that, the daily food is only enough to sustain one person's life.
Watching the father and daughter hugging each other tightly and never leaving each other, Mrs. Huo felt an unprecedented disgust. She wanted to see, under the extreme pressure of survival, whether this pair of souls would fall into the abyss of human nature and betray each other, or could they hold on to the rare family affection and save each other at the cost of sacrificing themselves?
No matter what the result is, it is a kind of twisted psychological satisfaction for her.
Mrs. Huo turned and left, leaving behind cruelty and uncertainty.
As soon as her figure disappeared into the darkness, Huo Yuncong endured the severe pain and struggled to hand the medicine bottle to Liang Qiuyue. Fatherly love is as strong as a mountain, and he will not forget to protect his own flesh and blood even in desperate situations.
This scene shows warmth in despair and persistence in tragedy.
She wanted to pretend she didn't notice and just pass by him in silence, but the ominous premonition that lingered in her heart was like an invisible hand tightly grabbing her sleeves, causing her steps to slow down and her heart to hesitate.
In the capital city, on this chessboard of power, every move is accompanied by undercurrents. The uneasy factors lurking in the shadows always seem to be inextricably linked to the mysterious King of Qi.
Could it be that he was weaving some kind of intricate chess game in the dark again?
Just as her thoughts were wandering, a familiar figure approached in an instant. The voice of the King of Qi seemed to be indifferent but mixed with subtle meaning: "Prince Yi's concubine, are you all right recently?"
His tone was gentle, but it seemed to have a great force that made people pay attention.
