Although Madam Huo, the old master's wife, had passed away long ago, she had entered the Huo family at a young age.
It could be said that she grew up in the Huo family and was selected as the old master's wife by the family.
When she was young, she followed Mr. Huo through thick and thin, even giving birth to Huo Hongxing despite her poor health.
Huo Yirong's father was born to the old Madam's maid.
The old Madam, weak as she was, personally sent her maid, who was also Huo Yirong's grandmother, to the old Master's side.
At that time, the old master was in the prime of his life, and he accepted the presence of the maid.
However, there was never a formal marriage ceremony between them.
The old master's only wife in his life was the old Madam.
Only after the death of Huo Yirong's grandmother did the old master, in recognition of her many years of companionship, record her in the family tree.
