Chapter 710

After Qu's mother finished speaking, Qu Ling's eyes widened suddenly. She looked at her mother in disbelief, as if she were looking at a stranger.

Qu's mother had always treated her extremely well, and had almost never spoken harshly to her, so Qu Ling found it even more unbelievable that these words came from the mouth of her mother who had always doted on her.

However, outsiders have no interest in the Qu family's grudges and feuds.

Shen Rang withdrew his gaze and sighed softly.

It seems I have no choice but to go find him.

"I'll go."

Chen Rang said.

His words seemed to come out of nowhere, but Huo Zhao knew what he was talking about: "You're so busy, I'll go instead."

Shen Rang shook his head: "There's still time to have a meal, otherwise I wouldn't have rushed over today."

Huo Zhao thought about it and realized that made sense.

Just as she was about to nod, Zhong Jie's voice suddenly rang out: "You two, what are you talking about? Where are you going?"

Huo Shu and Chen Qiang also looked over at the two of them.

This wasn't the place to talk, so the group went outside.

The Huo family breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that someone actually knew where Yun Wan lived.

Huo Shu immediately replied, "I'll go."

Meeting Shen Rang's gaze, Huo Shu raised an eyebrow: "What, Zhao Zhao isn't your wife yet? Does that mean the Huo family can't interfere in her affairs?"

Even if the two of them were married, they would still have to take care of Huo Zhao's affairs.

Even if Shen Rang had immense abilities, he wouldn't dare to show off in front of his brother-in-law, so he immediately nodded obediently.

The commotion inside was fierce, with the woman's cries being sharp and piercing. Even as the hostess, Madam Cheng couldn't bear it any longer and came out of the house in a rather disheveled state.

Seeing that the Huo family was about to leave, Madam Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with concern, "It is a great blessing that Miss Huo is alright. If there is anything that requires the cooperation of our Cheng family in the future, Your Highness, please do not hesitate to give the order!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhong Jie led everyone away.

Zhong Jie and the others went home, while Huo Shu went directly to Fang Muning's place.

Before even entering, I was already stunned by the magnificent sight in front of the mansion—

Several small stalls had been set up in the originally spacious area, with oilcloths draped over them. Several women sat under the oilcloths, chatting animatedly about which young master and lady this family was.

It was the same matchmakers who had gathered in the courtyard earlier.

At this moment, the matchmakers heard the commotion and turned to look. When they saw that the person who came was such an extraordinary person, they all became interested in meeting him.

Some people who didn't know Huo Shu's identity were about to get up and go to greet him, but they were pulled back by the people next to them. Only then did they realize that the person in front of them was already married, so they had to sit back down, but their eyes were still on Huo Shu.

Huo Shu had seen and endured even the most piercing gazes before, but right now, these matchmakers' eyes held no malice whatsoever, yet Huo Shu still felt a strange sense of unease.

It felt as if some aspect of myself had been seen through.

Huo Shu dismounted and, almost forcing himself to walk forward, knocked twice on the door.

Soon someone came to open the door and welcomed him inside.

Once inside, I found a matchmaker sitting in the courtyard, looking earnest and earnest, though I couldn't quite make out what she was saying.

Sitting opposite the matchmaker was a young gentleman dressed in an inconspicuous cloth robe. Apart from a slightly stiff smile, he did not behave in any other way.

Huo Shu couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect.

That's a real man!

Upon seeing him arrive, Fang Muning ordered someone to send the matchmaker away.

After the courtyard gate closed again, Fang Muning finally let out a long breath and said with a wry smile, "Young Master Huo, have some tea."

Huo Shu sat down and couldn't help but shake his head, clicking his tongue: "It's too lively here. How can you stand it?"
