Chapter 390: Chapter 390
No matter what they did, it was always confrontational; the two families were irreconcilable.
The Li Family always resented the Huo Family. If it weren’t for the Huo Family, they wouldn’t have lost so many relatives.
"I’m not sure either. I’ll ask Grandma and Second Uncle when I get home." Huo Shaohua put down his pen and leaned back in his chair, deep in thought.
"It’s a good idea to ask. If it’s confirmed that Li’s Group is the same Li Family from back then, we can be prepared and not be caught off guard."
"Yes." Huo Shaohua nodded.
Huo Shaohua finished work on time and returned to the old house to ask Grandma about the Li Family matters.
"You mentioned someone with the surname Li?" Grandma put down her book and looked at Shaohua in surprise.
She hadn’t heard that surname in many years.
"Yes, Li’s Group." Huo Shaohua nodded.
"Is there something wrong?"
"I remember when I took over the Huo Clan, I once saw records about the Huo and Li Families in our family annals. Recently, this Li’s Group has been opposing the Huo Family at every turn. I think it might be related to past events." Huo Shaohua said seriously, his tone heavy.
He knew a bit about the past, that the Huo ancestors had wronged the Li ancestors.
The Li Family lost many people, so they deeply hated the Huo Family.
The Li Family had once sworn a solemn vow to avenge their blood debts on the Huo Clan!
In the years that followed, the Li Clan had sought revenge against the Huo Clan.
Both sides suffered heavy losses, with nearly all their clansmen perishing.
Later, both families left that place and never saw each other again.
In the subsequent years, they lived in peace, gradually forgetting that tragic period as no one brought it up.
It was also that tragic period that caused the once prosperous Huo Clan to suffer great losses and a dwindling population.
Recently, the appearance of Li’s Group brought back these memories for him.
"It seems unlikely, after all, so many years have passed..." Grandma sighed slightly, but her words lacked confidence.
Hearing Shaohua say this, she also began to suspect that the Li Family might have returned.
"Did Grandpa ever mention those events from the past?"
"You know the Huo ancestors made a rule that descendants are not allowed to discuss this matter. Your Grandpa never mentioned it." Grandma shook her head and sighed. The old man never talked about it, so she didn’t know the specifics either.
What she knew was from eavesdropping on the servants’ discussions when she first married into the Huo Family.
So the once-glorious Huo Family had such a tragic past.
"Forget it. Let’s investigate first; maybe I’m overthinking this." Huo Shaohua rested his chin on his hand, contemplating. This matter couldn’t be rushed.
He would first observe their actions; perhaps he was just being overly sensitive.
"It’s better to be cautious." Grandma advised him.
"How are things with Xingyun?" Grandma smiled, looking at her grandson with a peculiar gaze.
"What do you mean?" Huo Shaohua asked, puzzled.
Huo Shaohua’s eyebrows twitched. Seeing Grandma’s expression, he was sure she had found out that he slept at Xingyun’s place.
It’s probably Aunt Liu who reported it.
"What can I do..." he said helplessly. Who made him such a scoundrel before?
Now that he wanted to make amends, she ignored him, even hitting and biting him.
"Let me make it clear, I will not allow Song Yi to enter the Huo Family. The position of the Huo Family’s first daughter-in-law will only belong to Xingyun." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ noⅴelfire.net
"Understood." Huo Shaohua responded. It was impossible for him to marry anyone else.
His mind was now filled with images of Tian Xingyun.
After chatting with Grandma for a while, he left the old house and arrived at Tian Xingyun’s home just as they were preparing dinner.
Before she could speak, he had already sat down and picked up chopsticks to start eating.
