There were currently three elders in the Huo Family who were still in the âjudgment seatâ. Their ancestors have maintained a neutral stance in the Huo Family, and this has been the case for generations. Therefore, once their descendants sat on that seat, they had to maintain absolute fairness and justice.
Of course, the so-called fairness and justice had a prerequisite that it did not hurt the Huo Family foundation. Otherwise, this fairness would not be established.
Most of them were now in their seventies and had already reached the juncture of the transition.
Other than the eventful times when each generation seized power, Huo
Qingxiao had been in charge of the Huo Corporation for all these years. The
Huo Family ancestral hall was basically just a decoration. Now that Huo Jiuxiaoâs generation had arrived, the threshold of the ancestral hall would probably be broken again. However, todayâs ascension was not for the new generation to seize power.
At this moment, everyone was already in position in the Huo familyâs ancestral house.
The three elders of the Huo family sat firmly in the main seat of the ancestral hall. In order, it was Huo Qingxiaoâs generation and their collateral family. The remaining seats were for Huo Jiuxiaoâs generation, and they were already in the second row.
Huo Zizhen and Lin Wanli sat behind Huo Qingxiao, while Huo Jiuxiao sat opposite them with Lin Wanli.
Although Shen Changmei was the one who caused trouble today, both Huo Zizhen and Huo Zizhen knew very well that this was actually a greeting gift from Huo Jiuxiao to Yun Shujing. However, Huo Jiuxiao hadnât been back to the Huo Family for too long, so he probably didnât know that things in the ancestral hall were not the same as they used to be.
âWill Mom be okay?â Huo Zizhen looked at Huo Jiuxiao, but her voice was questioning Huo Weichen.
âWhat can happen?â Huo Weichen chewed on his gum and said casually, âI canât guarantee anything else, but Mom has done a great job for the Huo Family.
These old things have to respect her efforts.â âBut I have a feeling that things wonât be that simple.â
Huo Zizhen was a little afraid of Huo Jiuxiaoâs face.
Lin Wanli was not someone to be trifled with. Now that the two of them were together, the Huo Family would definitely be turned upside down in the future.
At this moment, Lin Wanli also raised her head and looked at Huo Zizhen, who was sitting opposite her. When she saw Huo Zizhenâs complicated expression, she smiled slightly.
It was this smile that made Huo Zizhen want to tear Lin Wanliâs mouth apart.
In the middle of the ancestral hall, there was a crying Shen Changmei and a wronged Yun Shujing.
âChangmei, itâs the world of the young now. At your age, whatâs there to be unhappy about? Why do you have to go through so much trouble to get us to come forward?â The elder with age spots sitting at the head of the table said, âBear with it, and the grudge will be over.â
âUncle Zhong, the hatred of killing my son is irreconcilable. If it were you, would you be able to endure it?â
âItâs that serious?â The old man was stunned.
âUncle Zhong, when Third Madamâs child died, I wasnât even in the Huo Family. How could I harm her? Third Madam better not be instigated by others and slander people here!â Yun Shujing seized the opportunity to speak first.
âYouâre not in the Huo Family, but your minions are.â Shen Changmei snorted coldly. âEveryone here knows how you became a mistress. Uncle Zhong, you should know that I have no reason to frame her.â
âHurry up and make things clear.â The elder urged.
âEveryone in the Huo Family knows that I had a miscarriage in May. At that time, my body was weak and I was sick. One day, the housekeeper came to report that Lu Ziyun and Wencheng had a conflict. In a fit of anger, I went to Lu Ziyun to reason with her and eventually caused a miscarriage. So at that time, I always treated Lu Ziyun as the enemy who killed my son.â
âThen how did you discover the key point?â the elder asked.
âIâve been talking to An about the past recently. As you know, An has always liked Jiuxiao, so she told me that Lu Ziyun didnât want to sue Wencheng at all. Later, she suggested asking the butler to verify it, but she found that she couldnât contact the retired Butler Qin. I used some connections and finally found this crucial witness!â
âAccording to Butler Qinâs confession, Yun Shujing coerced him and made him deliberately provoke me into arguing with Lu Xinyun. â
At this moment, Yun Shujing was neither in a hurry nor slow. Of course, she did not admit it. She smiled. âSince heâs your butler, of course, heâs on your side. Besides, how can I threaten your butler? What do I have against him?â
âArenât you just trying to lure the matter of Butler Qin having feelings for me out?â Shen Changmei directly addressed it.
âThatâs what you said, not me. Everyone knows that Third Brother often went out back then and you and Butler Qin had so many opportunities to spend time together. Itâs hard to say if you didnât do anything out of line. I can even reasonably suspect that Butler Qin went missing after retirement because he was afraid that others would find out about your affair!â Yun Shujing went with the flow, changing and blurring the theme of todayâs meeting.
âIâm not as dirty as you. You know that someone elseâs wife is still there, but you still take off your pants and chase after him.â Shen Changmei scoffed.â The reason youâre so confident and are making up stories about me is because you think I only have witnesses.â
Hearing this, Yun Shujingâs expression began to change.
âYun Shujing, although you didnât enter the Huo Family back then, you had already planned everything behind the scenes. Not only did you make Wencheng lose his son, but you also made Lu Ziyun a murderer. However, justice has long arms. Some people are heartless, but there will always be someone who will catch them. Uncle Zhong, I want to ask a witness to testify.â
Uncle Zhong frowned. After listening to the argument between the two parties, he nodded.
Then, Butler Qin, who had already cleaned up, walked into the Huo Familyâs ancestral hall with a worn-out branded handbag.
âLong time no see, Third Madam, andâ¦Yun Shujing.â
âWhat exactly happened? Hurry up and tell me.â Uncle Zhong urged.
âBack then, when I was working in Third Madamâs family, I did have feelings for Third Madam, but she herself didnât know anything. How would I have Imown that this little thought of mine would be exposed to Third Madam by the servant that Yun Shujing had planted beside her? So, she threatened me that if I didnât scheme for Third Madam to have a miscarriage, she would spread the news about me.â
âMy personal reputation isnât important, but Iâm afraid that it will affect Third Madamâs reputation. Moreover, I know that since Yun Shujing has evil thoughts, it will be someone else in the end. So I justâ¦l did something that Iâll regret for the rest of my life.â
âWhat a joke. You aired your dirty deeds in the Huo Familyâs ancestral hall.
Moreover, you want to convict me based on your one-sided words? A lowly person dares to stir up trouble here!â
âItâs the lowlife youâre talking about, recorded the precious video of you giving me the cash. Do you know why I want you to give me the money personally? Itâs all for the sake of leaving evidence so that one day, Third Madam will be given justice.â
âI am indeed a lowly person, but youâ¦â Butler Qin pointed at Yun Shujing and said, âYouâre not human..
