Chapter 273

augh echoed, "Do you think I treat her as a substitute"Even without explicitly stating who "she" referred to, Qin Heng understood it was referring to Fu Yan."Isn't it"Ho Ming-zheng didn't speak. The o...The gardener spoke in his usual tone: “The flowerbed outside the kitchen will be replanted next year. I'm here today to clear out the rotten roots while the Huo Gongguan isn't crowded. I heard voices arguing over here, so I came to take a look.”

He insisted that he saw Fu Yan push Huo Jingshu, and then he himself accidentally fell to the ground. 。If he were lying, he was far too calm. An ordinary gardener wouldn't possess this level of mental fortitude. 。"A-Zheng, you've been asking for so long, what answer are you hoping to find that will satisfy you" Old Master Huo rubbed his rosary beads, his eyes narrowed slightly. 。"Dad, now Zhao Zheng is the head of the family, so you should say less." 。"Ho Chengyao reminded him in a low voice." 。Old Master Huo said meaningfully, “I was reminding him that he shouldn't favor Fu Yan and wrong Jing Shu, nor should he forget how the family rules of the Huo family are written.” 。Grandfather, don't worry too much. 。"Huo Mingzheng's voice was cold, "Cao Fang, take her to the ancestral hall." 。"...Fu Yan was stunned on the spot." 。Cao Fang's figure paused slightly, then took a step forward to Fu Yan's face, with an official attitude, "Miss Fu, please come with me." 。"Yang Yang didn't push her..." Song Qing霜 choked out, opening her mouth. 。"Madam Five, this is a house rule, please don't break the rules." 。Cao Fang didn't lay a hand on her, he just warned her verbally. 。"Mom, I'm fine, you go back." 。Fu Yan pried his hand away from Song Qing霜's, and followed Cao Fang. 。As she brushed past Huo Mingzheng, her steps paused for a moment, but it seemed like only a brief hesitation. She didn't say a word and walked out. 。Like a feather drifting past, Huo Mingzheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, an indescribable emotion swirling in his heart. 。"Wait a 。"Old Master Huo spoke, pointing at his personal assistant, "You go with us too." 。"What does this mean, Grandpa" Huo Mingzheng asked with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. 。

Old Master Huo explained, "His father was in charge of the ancestral hall, and they were more easily able to communicate than Cao Fang.

"Do you really believe that" Huo Mingzheng's aura turned cold.To this day, as the head of the family, Huo Mingzheng's presence was even more imposing. Under his gaze, Old Master Huo faltered and lost. 。Old Master Huo let out a soft snort, leaned on his cane, and left the kitchen with the help of his assistant. 。

Walking to a secluded place, Cao Fang asked with difficulty: "Miss Fu, I might have to trouble you..."

"...

Fù yān miàn shook her head expressionlessly.

As for what a clan ancestral hall is, Fu Yan was very clear.

Many years ago, Ho Ching-shu bullied her, and she fought back. Ho Ching-shu accidentally got hurt, and she was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for half a day. 。

She just didn't expect that now, the person who made her kneel in the ancestral hall would be Huo Mingzheng.

The gate of the ancestral hall was shut. Under the guard's gaze, Fu Yan remembered she had a child and slowly knelt on the wooden floor. 。She lowered her head, her left hand stroking the back of her right hand. 。Her veins were thin, and the morning medical staff couldn't find a suitable spot to insert a needle in her elbow. They inserted a needle in her hand back to draw blood. 。The pinprick was no longer visible, only a small bruise nearby could be seen. 。Although the pain had subsided, she couldn't stop trembling. She clenched her teeth, and a tear splashed onto the floor. 。r light-colored down jacket and tossed it toward the other side of the fork in the road, then ducked into an alleyway beside a nearby shop.In a foreign land, she couldn't rely on shopkeepers to help h...
