“Jiuxiao, what are the both of you talking about?” Uncle Zhong looked at Huo Jiuxiao and asked.
Master Xiao stretched his long curled legs and leaned his body to the left. He put his arm on Lin Wanli’s chair and looked at Uncle Zhong. “I found something.”
At this time, Huo Zizhen’s fear had already reached her throat. She immediately looked at Lin Wanli with hatred and questioned loudly, ‘You b*tch, don’t you know what it means to keep your promise?”
Lin Wanli shrugged innocently and said, “I’ve always kept my word and mean what I say. But have you ever thought about the possibility that he told me everything about you?”
“Huo Jiuxiao, don’t play tricks here. Whatever tricks you have up your sleeve, just use them. Anyway, you’ve never stopped scheming against us.” Yun Shujing said, thinking too highly of herself.
This time, Master Xiao deliberately lowered his upper body. He raised his head slightly and answered Yun Shujing. “Your face is too big. You’re not worthy.”
Lin Wanli burst out laughing. She quickly apologized. “I’m sorry. I didn’t control myself well.”
The couple seemed to treat the Huo Family’s ancestral hall as a playground. Their emotions and postures were very unrestrained, and they had a relaxed feeling of being in control of the entire situation and playing cat and mouse.
“Huo Zizhen claims to have taken Lin Wanli on the cruise to expand her social network. Does anyone believe that? Originally, I didn’t want to be a busybody, but Lin Wanli is my lawful wife. If she is humiliated on the cruise, then I, Huo Jiuxiao, will really become useless in the Huo Family.”
“So, I briefly did some research. After this investigation, I found out that the dignified Fourth Miss of the Huo family was very knowledgeable and seemed to enjoy the thrill of having an affair. She even almost gave birth to a child. But I’m not interested in her shameless private life.”
“Later, I found out who the boss of Moon Breeze was. I found out that this person was the same father as Huo Zizhen’s child. You all know him, Li
Huaitang.”
When they heard Li Huaitang’s name, the people in the ancestral hall seemed to explode.
This was because this person was at the top of the Huo Corporation’s list of people with whom they refused to cooperate every year. He had been caught by the Huo Corporation many times, using the name of the Huo Corporation’s former partner to seek benefits. Moreover, he would challenge their bottom line every year. This time, it was even more shocking. The daughter of the Huo Family was actually willing to be his guest. It was really disgusting.
“Even if that’s the case, this is just my private matter. Dad has already allowed you to marry a poor woman who has nothing. Why do you have to interfere with my personal feelings? I remember that the Huo Family’s ancestral hall doesn’t judge other people’s private matters. If you want to use this matter to attack me, aren’t you being too casual?” Huo Zizhen immediately defended herself.
“Li Huaitang arranged the Moon Breeze for you, and you, along with Mrs.
Zheng and the others, amassed wealth wantonly on the Moon Breeze, causing the middle-level people of the Huo family to complain. You asked Li Huaitang to arrange an entertainment project and wanted Lin Wanli to disappear from this world forever. Unfortunately, Moon Breeze is under my control, so you didn’t have the chance to humiliate Lin Wanli.”
“Big Brother, you have to have evidence.”
Huo Jiuxiao looked at her and replied, “Don’t be so impatient. The person on the cruise who can testify is right outside the ancestral hall.”
Uncle Zhong ordered, “Summon the witness.”
Soon, the captain and the butler of the main control room walked in together.
The two of them greeted the Huo Family with fear and said truthfully, “The news that the control room received was that they wanted to arrange all kinds of programs for Eldest Young Madam and make her a toy for all the guests on the cruise. The bottom line given to us by the higher-ups is that we don’t have to care even if she dies.”
“That’s right. Those torture tools were prepared by Miss Huo. You can send someone to investigate.” The captain echoed.
“You’re already under Huo Jiuxiao’s control. Of course you’ll speak up for him.”
“But Eldest Young Madam isn’t the first victim. Miss Huo, please face this problem squarely. Also, we have videos and evidence of how the daughter of the Lei family was driven crazy.” The butler said, “You don’t treat others as humans at all.”
“So? Regardless of whether I treat people as humans or not, this is my private life. The ancestral hall does not interfere with my private life. Otherwise, which of you here can withstand the scrutiny?” Huo Zizhen calmed down because she felt that this was all Huo Jiuxiao had.
“Jiuxiao, the ancestral hall has its rules. As long as it doesn’t endanger the Huo Family, your private life can’t be brought to trial.” At this moment, Uncle
Zhong also spoke up for Huo Zizhen because they were two separate matters.
“Previously, my mother said that the ancestral hall was rotten and old. I didn’t believe it. Today, I’ve finally seen it for myself.” Huo Yutan sneered, “Just because she’s the daughter of the head of the Huo family, is it right for her to commit murder and arson? No wonder my mother was almost fooled when she begged everyone to uphold justice. However, you have to know one thing clearly. Huo Zizhen’s target this time is my brother’s wife, the legitimate son of the Huo family’s leader. Isn’t it too obvious that he wants to be biased and keep the peace?”
“Before we could figure out what happened to Huo Xinhong, she ran out to harm his wife. First Aunt is even funnier. Aren’t you grounded? So the rules of the ancestral hall are just decorations on you? Why did you have to treat everyone like fools? Just say it. The ancestral hall has nothing to do with us. The trial and punishment are all decided by Uncle. We don’t have to waste this time. Isn’t it good to watch TV at home?”
As soon as Huo Yu’an finished speaking, the other members of the Huo Family also nodded in agreement.
Although they did not have any ambitions, the ancestral hall clearly did not need them. Why did they have to pretend to look for them for a discussion?
“Huo Yu ‘an, it seems that what happened here has nothing to do with you.” Huo Weichen tilted his head and spoke up for his sister.
“What does that have to do with you as well?” Huo Yu’an asked back.
“Zizhen, apologize to your sister-in-law in front of everyone in the Huo Family now.” Uncle Zhong instructed, “You’re all family. There’s no need to get into a fight.”
Uncle Zhong’s words had already underestimated Lin Wanli.
In his eyes, a human life could be forgotten with just an apology.
Because among all the members of the Huo Family, sacrificing Lin Wanli was the least costly.
“There’s no need.” Huo Jiuxiao declined on Lin Wanli’s behalf. “I’ve never expected the ancestral hall to give a fair and just answer on private matters. Huo Zizhen can choose to play dead, but her future in Jinzhou will definitely not be easy. After all, I have all the videos on the Moon Breeze.” Uncle Zhong and Huo Zizhen’s expressions changed at the same time.
“Brother, are you venting your personal anger?” “So what if I am?” Huo Jiuxiao asked back..
