“If you don’t handle it, I’ll call the police. It’s that simple.”
If it could be said that Master Xiao had been in stealth mode before and was planning everything from behind, then at this moment, his flamboyance and his oppressive aura were telling everyone that Huo Jiuxiao was only deaf, but not dead.
If the ancestral hall did not give him an answer today, then Huo Zizhen’s outcome would definitely be a hundred times more miserable than now.
“Huo Jiuxiao! You lunatic, you can’t kick my daughter out! You can’t. You don’t have the right.”
However, Huo Jiuxiao’s gaze was not on Yun Shujing at all, so he naturally could not hear her wailing.
However, Huo Yu’an reminded Yun Shujing, ” Auntie, if I were you, I would kneel down and beg for mercy. Why are you still bossing me around?” Huo Zizhen had made a mistake. There were witnesses and physical evidence. She could not deny it, so she had to step out of the Huo Family’s door today. If you really want to keep her spot, fine. I just consulted a lawyer. Based on the crimes Huo Zizhen has committed, she won’t be able to escape a 15-year sentence. Actually, I’d rather see her go to jail.”
“It’s not the first time that a high and mighty princess has been reduced to a prisoner in the Huo Family. Look at Auntie. She hasn’t even come out yet. I
believe that if Huo Zizhen goes in to accompany her, she should be very happy.”
“Huo Yu’an, shut up!” Yun Shujing shouted in exasperation.
Upon hearing the word ‘prison’, Huo Zizhen immediately went to beg Yun
Shujing. “Mom, I don’t want to go to jail. Help me. I don’t want to be arrested.”
Yun Shujing closed her eyes because she was at her wit’s end. Who knew where Huo Jiuxiao had gone to collect all this evidence? Even she as her mother didn’t know about Huo Zizhen’s secrets, so how could she possibly have a way to deal with it?
“Qingxiao.” At this moment, Yun Shujing placed her last hope on her husband.
Huo Jiuxiao also looked at Huo Qingxiao with a mocking smile.
He wanted to see who else would want to whitewash peace at this juncture.
Ten years ago, the old man allowed Yun Shujing to break up the family and force his mother to death. Today, he would never let the same thing happen again.
[Yunyun, I’ve sent one over for you today.]
This was Huo Qingxiao’s inner thoughts. When Master Xiao heard it, he finally stopped mocking him.
Huo Zizhen quickly knelt in front of Huo Qingxiao and begged him. “Dad, please help me. Please help me. I’m your daughter.”
However, Huo Qingxiao was indifferent. “You’re asking the wrong person. Zizhen, it’s hard being a father.”
Huo Zizhen quickly crawled toward Huo Jiuxiao, wanting to fight for a chance
of survival. Unfortunately, Huo Jiuxiao did not let her get close. “I’ve been wandering outside for ten years. The more you beg me, the more vicious I become. ”
Huo Zizhen froze on the spot and looked around the entire ancestral hall because she did not know who else she could ask for help from.
In the end, she crawled to Huo Shengyuan’s pants and begged, “Second brother, second brother, please help me. Third brother, I don’t want to go to jail. I don’t want to be kicked out of the Huo Family. Please help me. I’m your biological sister.”
However, Huo Chengyuan looked at Huo Zizhen coldly. As for Huo Weichen, he smiled helplessly. “Zizhen, you know that your third brother is a good-for-nothing. I can’t even protect myself. How can I help you?”
“You guys just refuse! You just can’t wait to see me chased out of Huo Family. I
hate you! I hate you!” Huo Zizhen shouted.
“Qingxiao, are you really so heartless?” Yun Shujing questioned Huo Qingxiao resentfully.
“The people of our previous generation and this generation have all firmly adhered to the rules of the ancestral hall. There’s no reason for Zizhen’s generation to be crippled. Since Huo Zizhen has really violated the ancestral temple’s first precept, she has to pay the price. You don’t want her to go to jail, right? Shu Jing, you have to understand me. It’s hard for me too.” Huo Qingxiao replied in a very formal manner.
In fact, Yun Shujing knew that he wouldn’t stand on their side at all, but she didn’t expect Huo Qingxiao to kick her when she was down. Others might not be able to tell, but she knew that Huo Qingxiao was taking revenge on her for forcing Lu Ziyun to her death.
She was also his daughter, yet he had no feelings for her.
“In that case, from today onwards, Huo Zizhen is no longer a member of the Huo Family. Tomorrow, the Huo Family would announce the news and cut ties with Huo Zizhen completely. From then on, Huo Zizhen would never be able to step into the Huo family’s door again. If the relatives provide relief, they will be punished together and will not be lenient.” In the end, Uncle Zhong announced the result helplessly.
At that moment, Huo Zizhen felt as if a building had collapsed. She slid to the ground and her body went limp. “I don’t want to! I don’t want to!”
Yun Shujing almost went crazy. She looked at Huo Jiuxiao, revealing a very ferocious face. “B*stard, are you satisfied?”
“If you still can’t shut your b*tch mouth, I don’t mind letting Huo Zizhen stay in the sewers permanently. When a rose falls into a quagmire, there should be many people clapping and cheering, especially the Lei family.”
Yun Shujing could only shut her mouth.
There was no expression on Master Xiao’s face. There was only disgust for her. “Moreover, this is only the first one. What’s the rush?”
He didn’t even try to hide his words. Huo Weichen and Huo Chengyuan were sitting next to him.
However, could the two brothers do anything to him?
He had no choice.
After he finished speaking, Huo Jiuxiao pulled Lin Wanli up, and Huo Yu’an also stood up. However, the three of them didn’t leave because Huo Jiuxiao’s gaze was sharp as he looked at Uncle Zhong.
“Uncle Zhong seems to be old. His attitude towards Huo Zizhen’s matter is really disappointing. So you have so many levels and standards for things and people. Just because Lin Wanli isn’t important in the Huo Family’s eyes, she should be sacrificed as a matter of course?”
Uncle Zhong was speechless.
‘Why don’t we disband the ancestral hall?” Huo Jiuxiao said disrespectfully, “Anyway, no one believed me and even stopped me from calling the police to arrest them. This is the last time I’m giving you face. Next time, I won’t step into the ancestral hall.”
“Jiuxiao…You… You…
“I should have done this earlier.” Huo Yu’an chimed in from behind. “I was so disappointed that I didn’t see Huo Zizhen being arrested on the spot.”
The three of them walked out of the ancestral hall. At this moment, Uncle Zhong looked at Huo Qingxiao with dissatisfaction. “Isn’t your son a little too lawless?” he asked.
“Ten years ago, you guys did a lot of work when Yunyun passed away. Are you surprised that he has this attitude?” Huo Qingxiao retorted, “Ten years ago, in order to stabilize the Huo Family, you accepted Yun Shujing. But today, Yun Shujing’s daughter has endangered the Huo family’s interests, and you actually want to make an exception and let her off? Uncle Zhong, how many layers of skin are you wearing?
Uncle Zhong was speechless.
‘ Also, that person, Jiuxiao, values equality. If he doesn’t accept you, he will tear you apart.”
“If I say that I don’t want to see their generation kill each other like your previous generation, would you believe me?”
