"Husband, I know I was wrong. I'll never bring up what happened back then again."
Seeing Dai Hao kill so many people in his fury, the Duchess realized her earlier mistake.
She had been far too impulsive.
How could she bring such things out into the open?
"Huo Yun'er has been dead for so many years. Where did this dagger come from? Could Huo Yun'er be that little bas-no, could Huo Yun'er's son have returned?"
The Duchess had already thought of Huo Yuhao.
But she still couldn't accept that possibility.
"It's quite possible." Dai Hao nodded heavily.
"Huo Yun'er's son only has a trash Martial Soul. How could he be a match for Huabin?"
"Sometimes, you don't have to kill someone with your own hands."
Dai Hao looked weighed down with worries. "See to Huabin's funeral arrangements. I'll go to the imperial palace and see whether His Majesty can help us find the murderer."
"Husband, Huabin's body isn't even cold yet, and you're leaving?"
Dai Hao merely gave the Duchess a long look before striding away.
Only after Dai Hao had vanished completely from sight did the Duchess throw herself over Dai Huabin's body and begin crying again.
"Boohoo..."
"If only I'd known, I would have torn out the weeds by the roots back then and killed that little bastard too."
"Huabin, your mother has failed you..."
"But you're too heartless, leaving me behind like this. How am I supposed to go on living? Your elder brother is crippled too, and my body can't bear another child. The Duke's Mansion will probably pass to Dai Luoli, that bitch's son. Won't that vixen climb onto my neck and shit all over me?"
"Huabin, get up and help your mother..."
Meanwhile.
