As they made a ruckus along the way and fought with their wits and eyes, Xi Sanmo did not feel any danger and thus, together with Huo Shan, they arrived at the Huo Family Manor.

The Huo Family Manor had a very long history, and its scale was gradually increasing. If one had to go into details about the source, it would have to start from Huo Dashan's grandfather.

Huo Dashan's grandfather was born into a family of merchants in the last dynasty. He was not fond of literature or martial arts, had an introverted and eccentric personality, and was an unlikable person. However, he was very sensitive to wine.

The wine he brewed was unique in its innovation and fragrance. As long as it was sold in the market, it would face a situation where the supply was unable to meet the demand. When the emperor of the dynasty, who was also a winemaker, heard of his great name, he was summoned to the capital to serve as the emperor's favorite and also as a famous brewer at court.

He knew that he did not have long to live, and he also knew that the imperial court was in dire straits. Therefore, before his death, the Emperor, who pitied the talent, had dismissed Huo Dashan's grandfather and told him that he was not to enter the capital again in his lifetime.

He brought his wife back to their hometown. Taking out the salary he had accumulated over the years, he went to the most remote part of G City and bought 100 mu of land. He established the initial Huo Family Manor.

Huo Dashan's grandfather had planted many vines, but in this place, the vines just couldn't survive. In a fit of anger, Huo Dashan pulled out all of the grapes and killed his newly born daughter.

He had always liked men and women, so after his setback, he believed that his daughter was an ominous thing, a source of all his troubles!

However, it was strange that once his daughter died, everything would go smoothly for him. If he wanted wind and rain, he would want rain. Not a single grape seed died, and all of them would live on. Moreover, three years later, they were all fruitful.

From then on, Huo Dashan's grandfather set a new rule of the Huo Family. His descendants were only allowed to have sons and not daughters.

As a result, he only had two sons, one of whom died when he was twelve.

Huo Dashan's father inherited his father's work and expanded the Huo family's estate. He added many new projects and expanded the Huo family manor.

The original one hundred mu of land in the Huo family manor had become three hundred mu of land. However, he was forced by his father to leave behind a single child like Huo Dashan.

However, he was a man of deep affection. His many bereavement over the loss of his daughter had made him depressed. At the age of fifty-nine, he had returned with his wife, one after the other.

Huo Dashan became the sole heir to the Huo family. He inherited all of his father's and grandfather's qualities, making the Huo family's business all sorts of things, and eventually becoming one of the most famous business owners in the country.

After he became rich, the first thing Huo Da did was to expand the Huo Family Manor to 1800 mu of land. 1500 mu of land was used to grow grapes and 300 mu of land to build villas.

The villas were built in the middle of the manor. After entering the gate, they would be able to reach the place through a very deep passageway.

The villas were constructed according to the eight trigrams diagram. There were a total of eight grand villas, each occupied by six sons.

Eldest Brother, Second Brother and Third Brother lived on the west side of the three villas, while Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother lived on the east side of the three villas. Of the remaining two buildings, one was directly to the north and was occupied by Huo Da. One was located in the south and was mainly used for banquets and guests.

In the middle of the eight villas, there was another central garden, and in the middle of the garden, there was a large fountain. However, aside from Huo Dashan and Situ Hengtian, no one else in the manor knew that there was a mysterious basement built under the fountain, and two other great secrets were hidden in the basement.

She followed the car into the manor. She liked it here, where the fragrance of birds and flowers was like a park. It was very beautiful and quiet. If Huo Li loved her a little more, she would definitely be happy here.

The car finally stopped by the fountain. The bodyguard in black came over and opened the door, while the butler, the young masters, and the young madams did as they were told, staying far away from the fountain.

Huo Li got out of the car first and stood by the door. He extended his hand in a gentlemanly manner.

As before, Xi Sanmo didn't even look at him and just politely held his hand in front of his face. The moment her feet landed on the ground, she quickly withdrew her hand and turned around to help Huo Dashan.
