Chapter 1446: Chapter 1446: Then I Won’t Be Polite! Hehe! (Part 1)
“Young brother, what exactly is going on? What is written in that letter?” Hu Wang’s curiosity was piqued, and he asked.
“Don’t rush, anyway, even if I tell you, you won’t understand. Better to see for yourselves!” Ye Haochuan smiled and found the antidote for Udong Yellow Leaf Fragrance on Niuzhi, and detoxified the unconscious Hu Zhong.
As soon as Hu Zhong woke up, he looked angrily at the obviously injured Hu Ke. Although he didn’t see who poisoned him just now, given the people in the room, the culprit was quite apparent.
However, just as he was about to fight Hu Ke dearly, he saw Hu Wang. The overwhelming joy in his heart instantly dissolved all other emotions.
“Zhong’er, take out the letter your grandfather gave you.” Hu Wang lovingly patted Hu Zhong’s head and then said.
Hu Zhong was puzzled but still obediently took it out. Hu Wang glanced at it, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter. Finally, he shook his head and handed the letter to Hu Ke, saying, “See for yourself.”
“This… this is impossible. How would he know all this? And why would he give the position of Family Head to me?”
Hu Ke quickly browsed through the letter once he received it, and the anger on his face suddenly turned to shock.
Indeed, the letter was for Hu Zhong, but the content was advising Hu Zhong not to fight Hu Ke for the family’s head position.
Hu Zhong heard this and furrowed his brows, quickly snatching the letter.
Previously, when Ye Haochuan gave him the letter, he didn’t pay much attention and didn’t look closely. Now after hearing what Hu Ke said, he was indeed full of doubt.
He took the letter and saw that it did indeed instruct him, if Hu Wang passed away untreated, not to contest Hu Ke for the position of Family Head.
It was clear from the letter that his grandfather also suspected that Iron Bull’s Blood Pill was not the essential medicine to treat Hu Wang.
However, after much consideration, he still sought out Iron Bull, partly holding onto a sliver of hope, and partly for Hu Ke.
“Do you really think father is stupid?” Hu Wang suddenly smiled bitterly, “From the very beginning I was poisoned, father vaguely guessed you did it. He went to find Iron Bull mostly because he wanted to fulfill you!”
Hu Ke was speechless, tears in his eyes.
Hu Wang continued, “Father’s favorite was never me, it was always you! Do you really think being head of the family is a good thing? You see the bright and shiny surface, but do you see the endless toil behind it?”
“Father knew you were somewhat self-conscious about your looks since childhood, and didn’t want you to bear such a heavy burden, so he gave the position to me. Knowing that you wanted it later, he even put his life at risk to fulfill you. You…”
“Please, stop! Stop saying it!” Hu Ke was already remorseful, tears flowing uncontrollably, sobbing, “Kill me! I don’t deserve to live in this world.”
“Harming father, killing brother, you truly deserve death!” Hu Zhong said furiously, raising his sword to end Hu Ke.
At this point, Hu Wang shouted loudly, “Stop!”
“Father, this disgraceful person killed grandfather and nearly killed you. How can he remain?” Hu Zhong said angrily and in confusion.
“Shut up, he is your second uncle, not for you to discipline!”
Hu Wang rebuked, and although Hu Zhong was unwilling, he had to withdraw.
Then Hu Wang turned to Hu Ke and said, “Father did not punish you because you are his son. I am not killing you because you are my brother. Hu Ke, you have kept unwarranted hatred in your heart for too long, leading to the obliteration of family bonds. I don’t blame you, I believe father will not blame you either!”
Even Ye Haochuan, an observer, was moved to tears by this dramatic scene, let alone Hu Ke.
In the end, he wasn’t born evil. It was jealousy that brewed resentment, leading him to commit such deeds.
While Hu Ke was “crying in the bathroom,” Ye Haochuan detoxified everyone and released Niuzhi.
Niuzhi had initially planned to kill Ye Haochuan but didn’t expect him to act first, using the Silver Needle to immobilize her.
Now suddenly waking up, she found everyone standing around, her face instantaneously furious as she pointed at Hu Ke’s nose and roared, “You useless thing, I even used poison, and you still failed miserably, you are a disgraceful mess.”
Hu Ke stopped crying and glared at Niuzhi with resentment, shouting, “It’s all the cursed woman’s scheme, had you not induced and instigated me, how could I commit such atrocious acts? I want to kill you!”
“I married you because you had the chance to inherit the position of head of Hu Family. Otherwise, who would care for you, ugly monster!” Niuzhi seemed to throw it all away, snorting coldly.
Dammit, looking several times worse than a sow, where does such confidence come from?
Ye Haochuan was so appalled by Niuzhi’s words that goosebumps fell all over.
“Vicious woman, go die!” Hu Ke was extremely angry, unwilling to waste words with Niuzhi, his longsword flew straight to Niuzhi’s chest.
“No!” Hu Wang tried to stop him, but was unable due to his severe injuries.
The only one who could intervene was Ye Haochuan, but he had no intention of acting. Such an ugly and poisonous old woman, even if Hu Ke hadn’t acted, he would want to dispose of her himself.
Niuzhi clearly did not expect Hu Ke to strike at her so abruptly, and she looked shocked at the longsword piercing her chest.
Until she felt her vitality quickly draining with the blood flow did she suddenly wake up, and with hatred towards Hu Ke, she said, “Hu Ke, how dare you kill me? Just wait, I will bring ruin upon your Hu Family!”
With those final words, she consumed all her vitality, collapsing abruptly.
Hu Ke seemed to suddenly awaken, a look of regret appeared on his face, his hands quivering, as he said to Hu Wang, “I’m sorry, I… I truly didn’t mean it!”
There was a trace of despair on Hu Wang’s face, but he quickly covered it up, smiling as he said to Hu Ke, “This woman truly deserved to die, good kill!”
“But, the Niu Family…”
“As soldiers come, we will withstand them; as waters rise, we will dam them. You are my brother, all the mistakes you made, I and the entire Hu Family will help you bear them!”
“Brother!” Hu Ke was filled with tears, overwhelmed with regret.
Ye Haochuan finally understood why Niuzhi was so confident. She relied not on herself, but on family power.
It seems Hu Family will have trouble now!
Ye Haochuan didn’t understand the family power structure in Xuantian City, so he didn’t know whether he could help. Seeing the scene so “touching,” he refrained from asking more.
“Brother Ye, it was thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I dare not imagine what the consequences would be…” Hu Zhong respectfully thanked Ye Haochuan.
Ye Haochuan chuckled and said, “I’m a person who likes to help others. But the medical fee, that’s still to be settled.”
Hu Zhong couldn’t help but smile and said, “You helped us so much this time, ask for anything, and if Hu Family has it, we will definitely provide it.”
“Then I shall not hold back! Hehe!” Ye Haochuan grinned mischievously.
