Madam Hua thought of something, and her expression changed. She leaned an inch closer to Master Hua. “Master, do you have a mistress?”

“That must be it. That’s why you don’t care about your son, right?”

“We only have two sons. If we lose both sons, the lineage will be cut off!”

The more Madam Hua spoke, the more agitated she became. There was a hint of madness and stubbornness in her expression.

Master Hua’s face was filled with anger. His face was ashen as he said sternly, “Madam, stop fooling around. 1 don’t have a mistress!!”

He looked straight into Madam Hua’s eyes with a calm expression.

He really didn’t have a mistress.

Even if he really had a mistress, how could such a dirty bloodline inherit the Hua family’s business?!

He only had two sons. If he wanted to prosper the family, he had to sacrifice one. The eldest son, Hua Xi, was sick and weak. In the past 18 years, he had been lying on the bed for most of his life. The doctor had said that he probably wouldn’t live long.

He had placed all of the Hua family’s expectations on his second son, Hua Zhao.

If their family had no descendants, even if they adopted sons from other families, they wouldn’t be his blood.

However…

Master Hua’s eyes were extremely complicated. There was heartache, hesitation, sadness, and determination. His right hand was still tightly gripping Madam Hua’s arm like an iron clamp, unwilling to let go at all.

They had been married for 20 years, so Madam Hua could naturally see the hesitation in his eyes.

When she said that Master Hua had a mistress just now, it was only on impulse that she blurted it out. When she calmed down a little, she understood: Master won’t have a mistress. Even the concubine sons of those cousins in the Hua family are looked down on by Master Hua. He despises the maternal bloodline for being too lowly.

In the eyes of the Hua family, the direct descendants were the orthodox.

Master Hua might have raised a mistress, but he would never allow the existence of a mistress to humiliate the Hua family.

“Master!” Madam Hua looked at Master Hua with red eyes, and her eyes were filled with tears.

She really didn’t understand what he was hesitating about. Why did he refuse to save their son?

What secret is more important than our son?!

As she thought about it, her heart suddenly sank a little and she had a very bad feeling…

The surroundings suddenly darkened. The thick clouds above covered the sun, and even the air became stuffy, making Madam Hua feel suffocated.

“Madam, Second Lady Gu is cunning. One moment, she said that she could save Zhao’er, and the next, she said that the talisman would only work for a day.

She’s clearly playing with us. You can’t believe her!” Master Hua turned his cold gaze to Gu Yanfei, who wasn’t far away, with a dark gaze.

He forcefully pulled Madam Hua into the carriage again. “Let’s bring Zhao’er to Wuliang Temple. I heard that the Temple Master, Daoist Xuan Cheng, has been in the temple recently. Daoist Xuan Cheng’s Dao skills are profound. It will definitely be more reliable to look for him.”

“Madam, just listen to me!”

“No, I’m not leaving!” Madam Hua gritted her teeth and refused to leave. She looked at Master Hua stubbornly, and Gu Yanfei’s words echoed in her ears.

“Madam Hua, your two sons are sick. 1 can save them.”

In recent days, she had been tossing and turning because of her eldest son’s illness. Second Lady Gu was the only person who gave her hope. Only Second Lady Gu told her clearly that her eldest son could be saved!

To Madam Hua, Gu Yanfei was her last straw to clutch at.

She wanted to save her son. She couldn’t watch her eldest son and second son die at such a young age. Second Lady Gu could definitely save them…

However, Master was unwilling.

Why?

Since it isn’t because of a mistress, what other reason can it be?!

Sin…

She looked straight at Master Hua, her eyes flickering.

A month ago, the eldest son suddenly fell seriously ill. Every doctor they invited said that the eldest son was hopeless and asked them to prepare for the funeral as soon as possible.

One day, Master Hua told her that he wanted to marry off his eldest son.

He said that it was so that his eldest son could have someone to take care of him in the underworld and continue the family line.

He said that he had chosen the third daughter of the Lu family. Her birth characters were compatible with the eldest son. Once the two of them were married, the eldest son would be able to borrow some of his wife’s luck. In the next life, he would be healthy and safe.

She felt that Master’s words were for the sake of her eldest son, so she agreed without thinking..
