Uncle Qianâs heart skipped a beat. He forced himself to remain calm and replied respectfully, âYoung Master Chi, youâre joking. I had simply told the truth.â
âUncle Qian, tell me the truth. I can plead with the Old Master for leniency and not kick you out.â Su Chiâs eyes were cold. He had not expected the Su Family to have raised such a thing. He had completely lost the face of their Su Family!
If he had spoken the truth a long time ago, no one would have blamed him. However, he did not know if he had been muddle-headed or what to actually frame someone else.
âI donât know what Young Master Chi is talking about.â Uncle Qianâs eyes flickered, and he did not dare raise his head.
âIs that so? Baby Qian has already confessed. Do you want me to bring him over for you to take a look?â Su Chiâs face was cold. He was young, but his aura was not weak.
Ling Shengâs eyes were full of praise. His innate bearing was really something that ordinary people could not compare to.
âYoung Master Chi, itâs my fault. Itâs all my fault. Itâs not Baby Qianâs fault.â Uncle Qian knelt on the ground with a thud. He could not take it anymore.
Uncle Qian confessed about what had happened. He had not looked after his son, Baby Qian, properly so the latter released General. When he had hurried over to find the dog, he saw that something had already happened.
The people who had gotten into trouble were not just anyone else, but the two most precious ladies of the Su Family. He was afraid that they would be kicked out of the Su Family if he told the truth. Coincidentally, he had heard the conversation between Su Cunshi and the others, who suspected that Huo Xuanzhou had deliberately planned this. That was why he had made the decision to frame Huo Xuanzhou.
Anyway, Huo Xuanzhouâs reputation could not be any worse. Everyone in the capital knew what kind of person he was. No one would suspect even if he said he had done it. Besides, he happened to be wearing a red scarf too. Everything was logical.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After Uncle Qian told them the whole story, the Su Family members wore different expressions. They had wronged someone and were too embarrassed to look at Huo Xuanzhou.
Huo Xiao frowned and looked at Su Cunshi. How ridiculous. âEldest Brother, I know that Ah Zhou is a scumbag too, but youâve wronged him on this matter. You have to give him an explanation!â
He finally heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. It was good that he had not done it. If he had really done it, he would have beaten that brat to death, let alone the Su Family!
Huo Ci gave the Old Master a sly smile and even whispered, âFather, you didnât say this just now?â
Huo Xiao shot him a death glare. What kind of sin had he committed? Look at the two of them! They only embarrassed him!
Su Cunshi nodded. They had to account for this. A fire burned in his chest as he looked at the person in front of him and asked, âUncle Qian, how many years have you been working in the Su Family?â
â30 years, Eldest Master. Iâve been working for the Su Family for 30 years! Iâm begging you. On account of the many years Iâve worked for the Su Family, donât chase me away!â Uncle Qian cried until his face was covered with tears. He kept kowtowing. âIâm already so old. Where else can I go if I leave the Su Family?â
âItâs been 30 years! 30 years!â Su Cunshi shook his head in disappointment and sighed. He enunciated each word clearly, âYouâve been with the Su Family for 30 years. Donât you know what kind of temper and character the Su Family members have?â
Baby Qianâs brain was not normal. He was intellectually disabled. He had let General out and caused trouble. However, their Su Family was not unreasonable. Who would blame him?
Great! In the end, he had directly framed the guest! He had caused the entire Su Family to lose their face!
âEldest Master, I was wrong! I wonât dare do it again in the future. Please donât chase me away! If we father and son leave the Su Family, we can only die!â Uncle Qian cried even more miserably. He looked toward Huo Xuanzhou pleadingly. âMaster Zhou, I was possessed. Please help me to plead for leniency. I really canât leave the Su Family.â
The elders were all present, so Huo Xuanzhou did not want to get involved in someone elseâs family matter. He had not reached this stage yet, so he took a deep breath. His handsome face scrunched up as he leaned against Ling Sheng. His voice was neither loud nor soft; he could be heard in the right volume. âIt really hurts. Help me down.â
Jun Shiyan frowned and grabbed his arm right away. After glaring at him warningly, he looked at the elders present. âMr. Su, in that case, weâll take Master Zhou down first.â
He was a smart person. By saying that, it would appear that he was tactful and sensible, and he would not offend others either. The Su Family would not let the culprit off either because of his shout of pain.
Upon seeing his mother, father, and uncle leave, Xiaoqi followed them on his short legs.
Su Yan looked at Huo Xuanzhouâs back view and felt a little worried. After all, this had happened because of her. Her family had wronged him. She had to go over to take a look and express her apology later.
âYan Er, what do you think?â Su Cunshiâs heart became softer as he got older. He also knew that it had not been easy for Uncle Qian to raise an intellectually disabled son alone. Where could he find a job outside?
Su Yanâs beautiful eyes were cold as she looked at the old man kneeling on the ground. âEldest Uncle, a mistake is a mistake. People should pay for their own mistakes in the end.â
Then, she nodded slightly at everyone present and left politely.
Huo Ci raised his eyebrows, his eyes calm. âUncle, arenât you afraid of tainting our Su Familyâs reputation by letting him stay in residence?â
He still had the cheek to say that he had worked in the Su Family for 30 years. Yet, he did not understand the Su Familyâs temper at all? Even if he had committed a grave mistake, as long as he dared to admit it, he would not make things difficult for him.
Of all things to do, he should not have tried to hide the truth after the incident and framed someone else too!
Su Cunli shook his head in extreme disappointment. âBig Brother, Ah Ciâs right. Thereâs nothing to say. Let him leave!â
âThen you guys can continue chatting. Iâll go over to take a look at Ah Zhouâs injury. I didnât go easy on him. He might have to lie down for two days.â After saying that, Huo Ci left as well.
Huo Xiao held Su Xiyinâs hand and smiled. âBig Brother, this is the Su Familyâs family matter, after all. I canât say much. Do as you deem fit!â
How great!
And they still asked what kind of grandson did their Old Huo Family raise?!
Why didnât they see what kind of servant their Su Family had raised? He had been influenced by the Su Family for 30 years, yet he could still do such a thing.
Not long after Ling Sheng and Jun Shiyan left, Su Jing ran to report that Old Qian had been kicked out of the Su residence.
No one was willing to apply medicine on Huo Xuanzhou. In the end, he dragged Jun Shiyan over forcefully and insisted that he apply medicine on him. When he heard that Su Yan had come, he started shouting.
âAh!â
âOkay!â
âSss!â
âBe gentler, OldThird Brother! Be gentler!â
âIt hurts! Be gentler!â
âGentler!â
â¦
The Su Familyâs guest room was divided into two internal and external rooms.
Jun Shiyan, Huo Xuanzhou, and Xiaoqi were inside. The others were outside, especially Su Yan. The Su Family had strict upbringing, so it was impossible for her to go in to see a half-naked man.
Ling Sheng listened to the voices coming from inside. It was precisely because they were two big men that it made oneâs imagination run wilder. She gritted her teeth secretly, unable to stop the evil fire within her from leaping out and spreading.
