Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 589: Republic Divorced Wife Cannon Fodder (3)

As her illness grew more severe,

she felt her life hanging by a thread, so she transferred all the shops, land, and manors mentioned in her dowry to Huo Yunjie.

The private savings her original parents had left for her in the dowry, including the profits accumulated from the shops over the years which amounted to tens of thousands of silver coins, had all been swindled by Huo Yuanjie.

Once all her money and property had been given to Huo Yuanjie, he began to treat her coldly and distantly.

He even insinuated that she, a divorced wife clinging to the Huo Family without a legitimate status, had no right to be his mother.

She had never expected this, and even in her naivety, she realized that Huo Yuanjie’s filial piety had been a facade—it was nothing but an act of treachery.

She couldn’t understand why her always kind-hearted mother-in-law had changed so drastically, or why her carefully nurtured son would behave like this.

So, gathering her strength, she decided to seek the truth.

By chance, she overheard a conversation between her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

It turned out that the reason Huo Fu and Huo Mu had kept her in the Huo Family was not out of gratitude or genuine affection.

Their interest was in the bank vault keys and codes left by her father.

What was stored in the vault was so critical that once the Huo Family obtained it, they would have the means to overpower the Lu Family, the greatest warlord faction in the south.
