Chapter 302: I’m Indeed a Lowly Person
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi- Bo Studio
There were currently three elders in the Huo Family who were still in the “judgment seat”. 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 Jiuxiao’s generation had arrived, the threshold of the ancestral hall would probably be broken again. However, today’s ascension was not for the new generation to seize power.
At this moment, everyone was already in position in the Huo family’s ancestral house.
The three elders of the Huo family sat firmly in the main seat of the ancestral hall. In order, it was Huo Qingxiao’s generation and their collateral family. The remaining seats were for Huo Jiuxiao’s 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 hadn’t been back to the Huo Family for too long, so he probably didn’t know that things in the ancestral hall were not the same as they used to be.
“Will Mom be okay?” Huo Zizhen looked at Huo Jiuxiao, but her voice was questioning Huo Weichen.
“What can happen?” Huo Weichen chewed on his gum and said casually, “I can’t guarantee anything else, but Mom has done a great job for the Huo Family.
These old things have to respect her efforts.” “But I have a feeling that things won’t be that simple.”
Huo Zizhen was a little afraid of Huo Jiuxiao’s 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 Zizhen’s complicated expression, she smiled slightly.
It was this smile that made Huo Zizhen want to tear Lin Wanli’s mouth apart.
In the middle of the ancestral hall, there was a crying Shen Changmei and a wronged Yun Shujing.
“Changmei, it’s the world of the young now. At your age, what’s there to be unhappy about? Why do you have to go through so much trouble to get us to come forward?” The elder with age spots sitting at the head of the table said, “Bear with it, and the grudge will be over.”
“Uncle Zhong, the hatred of killing my son is irreconcilable. If it were you, would you be able to endure it?”
“It’s that serious?” The old man was stunned.
“Uncle Zhong, when Third Madam’s child died, I wasn’t even in the Huo Family. How could I harm her? Third Madam better not be instigated by others and slander people here!” Yun Shujing seized the opportunity to speak first.
“You’re not in the Huo Family, but your minions are.” Shen Changmei snorted coldly. “Everyone here knows how you became a mistress. Uncle Zhong, you should know that I have no reason to frame her.”
“Hurry up and make things clear.” The elder urged.
“Everyone 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.”
“Then how did you discover the key point?” the elder asked.
“I’ve been talking to An about the past recently. As you know, An has always liked Jiuxiao, so she told me that Lu Ziyun didn’t want to sue Wencheng at all. Later, she suggested asking the butler to verify it, but she found that she couldn’t contact the retired Butler Qin. I used some connections and finally found this crucial witness!”
“According to Butler Qin’s confession, Yun Shujing coerced him and made him deliberately provoke me into arguing with Lu Xinyun. ”
At this moment, Yun Shujing was neither in a hurry nor slow. Of course, she did not admit it. She smiled. “Since he’s your butler, of course, he’s on your side. Besides, how can I threaten your butler? What do I have against him?”
“Aren’t you just trying to lure the matter of Butler Qin having feelings for me out?” Shen Changmei directly addressed it.
“That’s 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. It’s hard to say if you didn’t 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!” Yun Shujing went with the flow, changing and blurring the theme of today’s meeting.
“I’m not as dirty as you. You know that someone else’s wife is still there, but you still take off your pants and chase after him.” Shen Changmei scoffed.” The reason you’re so confident and are making up stories about me is because you think I only have witnesses.”
Hearing this, Yun Shujing’s expression began to change.
“Yun Shujing, although you didn’t 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.”
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 Family’s ancestral hall with a worn-out branded handbag.
“Long time no see, Third Madam, and…Yun Shujing.”
“What exactly happened? Hurry up and tell me.” Uncle Zhong urged.
“Back then, when I was working in Third Madam’s family, I did have feelings for Third Madam, but she herself didn’t 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 didn’t scheme for Third Madam to have a miscarriage, she would spread the news about me.”
“My personal reputation isn’t important, but I’m afraid that it will affect Third Madam’s reputation. Moreover, I know that since Yun Shujing has evil thoughts, it will be someone else in the end. So I just…l did something that I’ll regret for the rest of my life.”
“What a joke. You aired your dirty deeds in the Huo Family’s ancestral hall.
Moreover, you want to convict me based on your one-sided words? A lowly person dares to stir up trouble here!”
“It’s the lowlife you’re 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? It’s all for the sake of leaving evidence so that one day, Third Madam will be given justice.”
“I am indeed a lowly person, but you…” Butler Qin pointed at Yun Shujing and said, “You’re not human..
