Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband! Chapter 1147 - 1149: Out for Ziyang’s Life!

No!

She absolutely had to go see Brother Ziyang; she couldn't allow her father to strike him again!

Pushing Ping away to get on her feet, her knees screamed in protest, rendering her unable to stand, and she collapsed back onto the ground!

"Miss, please don't be rash. Go back to bed and rest," Ping urged, helping Tianxin up.

"Where is Brother Ziyang?"

"You must lie down and rest first, or I won't tell you!" Ping's eyes welled with tears at the mention of Ziyang.

Tianxin ceased her struggles and meekly allowed Ping to assist her back into bed.

Unable to walk presently, her only recourse was to rely on Ping's sister to inform her of Brother Ziyang's condition.

Once ensconced in bed, Tianxin impatiently inquired, "Where exactly did Brother Ziyang go? What did Father do to him?!"

She recalled their father's ruthless beating of Brother Ziyang right before her eyes in the ancestral hall.

After her departure, Father would undoubtedly continue his brutal assault on Brother Ziyang.

"Ziyang was punished in the ancestral hall according to family rules. He is still kneeling there," Ping replied, lowering her head to tuck Tianxin in.

"I need to see him!" Tianxin cried out, frantic with worry that Father would beat Brother Ziyang to death.

A few mere blows had caused her so much pain; how could Brother Ziyang endure it?

Father hadn't exerted much force on her, but he would surely use his full might on Brother Ziyang. How could he possibly bear it...

"Master explicitly forbade you from leaving. If you disobey, he will beat Ziyang to death!" Ping wept, her heart aching with concern for Ziyang's survival...

"Brother Ziyang..." Tianxin sobbed mournfully. The desperate longing to see Brother Ziyang warred with her fear...

Going to see Brother Ziyang would only incite Father's greater wrath and bring further harm upon Brother Ziyang.

As long as he remained safe, she could refrain from seeing him...

"You must rest properly and refrain from moving around; your knees are terribly swollen," Ping said, her heart heavy with sympathy.

The young lady was truly resolute, having knelt all night without rising. Her knees were severely injured...

"Where is my mother?" Tianxin asked, wiping away her tears.

"Madam is downstairs preparing porridge for you and will be with you shortly."

"Okay," Tianxin responded, a measure of relief washing over her. As long as Mother was unharmed, she could find some peace.

Her deepest fear was inadvertently involving Mother, an act that would lead to catastrophic consequences.

Having only recently regained consciousness, she weakly closed her eyes and succumbed to a deep sleep.

Observing Tianxin's frail state, Ping wept silently, too heartbroken to utter the harsh truth.

In reality, Tianxin had been unconscious for two full days and nights...

Ziyang, currently hospitalized, remained in a critical condition, his survival uncertain.

The entanglement between Ziyang and Tianxin had come to the attention of the Huo Clan, who had started to bring trouble upon the Huo Family.

The Master and Madam were occupied with managing the family's affairs, and Ziqian, too, was affected by Ziyang's predicament.

He was injured and recovering in the hospital; thankfully, his injuries were not severe and there was no need for undue concern.

Only Ziyang... Not a single part of his body was untouched by the brutal assault; he was almost entirely swathed in white gauze, with only his face visible...

Why would such a savage punishment be inflicted? It was clearly intended to extinguish Ziyang's life!

Hospital.

Ziqian sat vigil beside Ziyang's bedside. Ziyang, fitted with an oxygen mask, remained unconscious.

The day Tianxin was taken away, Ziyang was subsequently taken by the Master.

He was led to a secret chamber for his punishment. Upon Ziqian's arrival, Ziyang was carried out, drenched in blood...

Though he had witnessed a lifetime of bloodshed, the sight of his own brother's blood filled him with profound dread.

The terrifying possibility of his brother dying, of losing him...

Master had instructed him to take Ziyang away, forbidding them from setting foot in the Huo Family residence again without his explicit command! They were stripped of their hereditary role as Guardians of the Huo Family, severed from all ties to the Huo Family henceforth!

At that moment, Ziqian was overcome with shock, utterly powerless to resist. He had no choice but to accept this devastating outcome.

For generations, their family had faithfully served and protected the Huo Family, never once faltering in their duties.
