Chapter 299

but not daring to show it. Finally, she couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, Luo Shu, just tell him I'm good."Looking at the car driving away, Lao Luo sighed and rubbed his temples."Uncle Luo, are you...Fu Yan's words were a subtle dig at her claim yesterday that she hadn't seen who pushed Huo Jingshu. This way, regardless of whether Huo Jingshu was wrongly accused or if Fu Yan was indeed the one who pushed her, she could absolve herself completely, pleasing everyone inside and out.

But now, Fu Yan uttered a single sentence, forcing her to answer.

She frowned and said heavily, "Yes, Jing Shu did say that, but it was just a spiteful remark she made when she was in a bad mood. You shouldn't take it to heart, Yan Yan."

Fu Yan sneered, "One moment you say I'm wronging myself and not to take it to heart, the next you say it was just a casual remark and not to take it to heart. So are you saying that only you have mouths and I don't have a heart Your hearts are made of meat, but mine isn't made of flesh and blood so it doesn't hurt"

Huo Sijie was stunned. He didn't expect that Fu Yan, who was usually quiet and unassuming, had such a temper.

Huo Mingzheng calmly withdrew his gaze and sat down at the head of the table. He took the tea handed to him by the servant and sipped it calmly, but a faint trace of anger lingered in his brow.

Grandfather Huo froze, clutching his rosary beads. "What do you want"

Fu Yan blinked her eyes, looking harmless and innocent.

Huo Mingzheng took a sip of tea, the hostility in his eyes disappeared, and he looked at her calmly, his posture languid.

He seemed to casually say, "What could a junior like her possibly do"

Grandfather Huo pondered deeply, while Fourth Master Huo wore a grave expression. It seemed this rouge was not easy to deal with at all.

“As a junior, I can’t do much,” Fu Yan said with a cautious attitude, humble and polite. “But I think that in front of family rules, everyone should be equal. Otherwise, if it gets out, outsiders might think that the Huo family’s rules only apply to some people, which is too childish.”

"Presumptuous!" Old Master Huo said coldly, "Family rules are not a child's play!"

Fu Yan nodded. "Grandfather is right, I also think family rules cannot be taken lightly. If that's the case, what punishment do you think Huo Jingshu and Fourth Aunt should receive"

Old Master Huo narrowed his eyes, his face darkening.

He Mingzheng slowly swirled the tea and set aside the leaves. "Kneel in the ancestral hall."

"A-Zheng!"

Elder Ho and Fourth Master Ho spoke at the same time.

“Grandfather, Fourth Uncle, this is family law.” Huo Mingzheng put down his teacup, his attitude serious and earnest. “As Fu Yan said, yesterday I punished her by having her kneel in the ancestral hall. Now that she has been cleared of suspicion, if those who falsely accused her are not punished accordingly, how can I make others believe in family law in the future”

They were speechless after what he said.

A layer of gloom clouded Li Qin's eyes.

Just then, Huo Chengyao spoke, "Jing Shu is still quite weak after her recent miscarriage. We can postpone her punishment for a month. As for the fourth sister-in-law, she was indeed wrong. She failed to discipline her child properly, which led Jing Shu to say those venomous words. However, she is still an elder, so we will reduce her punishment by half. Fu Yan, what do you think"

Over the past two years, whenever Huo Chengyao returned home, he would always find Fu Yan to chat with. Although not close, he was one of the few people in the Huo family who treated her well.

Moreover, he is also the father of Big Brother. Fu Yan respects him very much.

"Just listen to your uncle."

Ho Chengyao looked at Huo Sanye, "Lao Si, is there anything else you want to say"

Fourth Master Huo was most afraid of this serious and taciturn eldest brother. He shook his head, "Just listen to Big Brother and Ah Zheng."

"Azheng, that's how it'll be. Although you are the head of the family, you are still young. Punishing your aunt would not sound good if it gets out. Your uncle will do this for you to ensure that Fu Yan is not wronged."

Fu Yan whispered, "No grievance."

Li Qin smiled faintly: "Yan Yan is still very obedient to her uncle. She's well-behaved and sensible, no wonder Big Brother dotes on you and pleaded for you."

Huo Mingzheng looked at the person who had just been as prickly as a hedgehog, his uncle's words made her let down her guard.

She has always been outspoken and refuses to give anyone face, no matter how high their status is. If someone angers her, she will bite back regardless.

Besides Huo Yuanjia.
