She stared at the hunched old man in front of her, momentarily stunned, forgetting to cry as she foolishly asked, "Who are you? Where is my husband?"
Huo Qi's eyes remained fierce as he struck his cane heavily against the ground, the sound echoing loudly. "You better open your eyes and see clearly who I am!"
With anger on his face, Huo Qi stepped forward quickly. Sang Qingxiao assisted him in dispelling the runes, and the moment the runes were lifted, a wave of foul stench surged forth. He Chuan was assaulted by the odor, which rushed through her nostrils and nearly knocked her out.
As she rolled her eyes to catch her breath, Huo Qi was already less than a step away from her. His face was lined with deep wrinkles and age spots, and several deep creases formed between his brows. His hair had turned white at the roots and hung messily around him. Though he was tall and imposing, he now slouched slightly, towering just a bit over her. When he opened his mouth to speak, saliva flew everywhere, carrying an indescribable odor.
Goodness, who is this person? How could he possibly be her charming husband?
He Chuan shook her head vigorously and reached out to push the man away from her, but he was too heavy to budge. She shouted in desperation, "Who are you? How dare you impersonate my husband? My husband is not like this! It's Qi Xiaomian, right? That ungrateful son must have deliberately found someone to scare me; he just can't stand to see me well."
Huo Qi grabbed her collar and pulled her closer. "You're right; it's that ungrateful son of yours. But it's not just him—everyone in this house has rebelled today! They all dare to defy me and attack me, leaving me in this pathetic state."
"Everyone knows about it now; how could you not? You must have heard the news and come to see me make a fool of myself."
"How does it look? Is it entertaining? Can you see clearly from this close? Look at what you've done to me! Are you satisfied now?"
He Chuan shook her head in fear. "No, no, no! This has nothing to do with me! I don't know anything! I've never harmed you; you know that! In the entire Qi Mansion, I'm the only one who truly loves you."
"I only came because I heard from outside that you were fighting; I wanted to see you."
"Really?"
A glimmer of hope appeared in Huo Qi's eyes as he relaxed his grip slightly. He raised a hand to stroke He Chuan's hair. "Do you really still love me? Even though I look like this?"
He Chuan nodded frantically.
"Good! Very good!"
Huo Qi's eyes brightened further as he lowered his hands to grasp He Chuan's shoulders and began to pull her into the house. "They think they’ve completely subdued me and have ignored me entirely—not even assigning anyone to help me! My wounds haven't been treated; I can't bathe properly or tidy up my room."
"Now that you're here, help me take care of these things. Once I'm healed in a few days, I'll reclaim everything that belongs to me. At that time, I'll clear out everyone in this house who betrayed me and give you the position of Madam to manage the entire Qi Family."
Huo Qi spoke boldly with exaggerated gestures that contrasted sharply with his usual elegance, deliberately trying to provoke annoyance. He waved his sleeves containing foul-smelling talismans near He Chuan's nose repeatedly.
Finally, both visually and olfactorily overwhelmed by Huo Qi's antics, He Chuan felt nauseated.
"He Chuan," he said excitedly as he embraced her tightly.
Unable to endure any longer, He Chuan summoned all her strength to push him away before turning and running off.
