Chapter 443 Huo Family

A name flashed through Shen Qing's mind.

Huo Qinglin!

Huo Bing's figure is almost identical, also tall and straight. Looking closely, the Huo family members are all alike, each one as tall and straight as a poplar tree.

Compared with the big belly, it looks comfortable, worthy of being a family of military generals.

"Hello, my family. I am Huo Qinglin. These are my three brothers, Huo Qingsong, Huo Qingbai, and Huo Qingyang." Huo Qinglin introduced them seriously.

The three of them stepped forward and greeted him solemnly.

Shen Qing and others had already understood the attitude of the Huo family after hearing what Jiang Xiangdong and Huo Bing said before!

Moreover, Jiang Fu also mentioned the matter of the imperial decree. Even if yesterday's incident had not happened, the emperor would still have conferred the title on her because of the crossbow.

It was also at that time that she realized that General Huo had not listened to her advice at all and asked him to say that he had developed the repeating crossbow himself.

Even though this old man has turned into dust, he still remains proud and unyielding!

At this moment, everyone was full of respect and joy, and greeted each other warmly.

The Huo family arrived late, and the upstairs and downstairs were full. It was impossible to kick the guests out when opening the business, so they finally cleaned up a room in the backyard for everyone to reminisce.

Shen Qingjiang felt very embarrassed towards Bei Jiangyu and others, and felt that he had neglected them.

Just when he was about to say sorry, he saw the four siblings of the Huo family lift up their skirts and kneel down to pay their respects!

Shen Qing had never seen such a scene before!

She almost jumped up, her voice rising significantly: "What are you doing? We are all relatives, get up quickly!"

She stepped forward to help the person up, but the four of them didn't know which one to help first. They hurriedly shouted to the eldest and fourth child, Xiaoyu Abing, "What are you all just standing there for? Come and help him up! How can we let the in-laws perform this formal ceremony?"

Jiang Yujiang Xiangbei recovered from his shock and was about to step forward to help the man up.

Huo Bing didn't move and said, "No need to help me, mother, you can handle it."

There is no one who can bear it more than my mother!

Even the grace of the current emperor is not as important as my mother, because without my mother, there would be no such grace.

Huo Qingsong knelt straight and said sincerely, "Yes, Xiaobing is right. You deserve it! You should also accept our respect."

In fact, just one bow is not enough, but at present this is the only way they can express their gratitude.

"My father was going to come in person, but there are so many people here and he was worried about causing trouble for you," Huo Qingbai explained.

There is also a saying that the elders' big gifts to the younger generations shortened their lifespans, and because of health reasons, the father did not come and asked them to represent first.

Huo Qingyang continued, "After the General's Mansion is tidied up, I will formally invite you all to come over for a gathering."

After the general's mansion was given back to them, it was renovated very well. They had been in exile for more than ten years and no longer cared about their appearance. But it was also because of their exile that, except for the four people in their prime, the rest of the people, young and old, were not in very good condition.

Even if they are not dead, they are still sick or in pain. It is their bodies that need to be taken care of. Even he himself has a disabled leg and his eldest brother's arm is useless and they can't use any strength at all.

If Ah Bing and the boss had said that the general's mansion needed to be cleaned up and asked them to go, Shen Qing would have thought it was a polite refusal. But when he saw Huo Qingyang trying his best to keep his body steady and try to make people ignore the uncoordinated walking, and saw Huo Qingsong with one arm shrugged and hanging at his side at an unusual angle, what was there to not understand?

There are no miracles on the road to exile, and how can it be smooth sailing? Not to mention that he has been in Bashu for more than ten years. As a criminal, he must have done the hardest and most tiring work.

After all these years, even a body of iron couldn't bear it!

These four people may be the healthiest in the entire Huo family.

She pretended not to know and said with a smile: "Originally, we should have visited the Huo family, but we were busy a few days ago, and we were... targeted again, so we thought we would go after things stabilized."

In fact, I was also afraid that they would be considered poor relatives taking the opportunity to build relationships and ask for money, so I didn't take the initiative to visit them after considering all factors.

Now that things have been said and we've met and known each other, there's no need to consider so much.

Jiang Xiangdong anxiously asked everyone in the room, "Mom, what's going on? Why are we being targeted? Who is targeting us?"

Jiang Xiangbei explained the whole process clearly and concisely.

The four members of the Huo family who were helped up sighed.

"It's my Huo family that has implicated you."

The Huo family presented the repeating crossbow as tribute to Ling Yi, which allowed him to return, and also put Ling Tai in danger. He didn't dare to deal with Ling Yi openly, nor could he directly cause trouble for the Huo family. He could only pick on the weak and cause trouble for Shen Qing.

Shen Qing helped them by presenting the repeating crossbow as a tribute, but ended up getting herself into trouble.

Shen Qing waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "What does this have to do with you? Even without you, my business is booming and people will be jealous and make things difficult for me.

Now it can be considered a blessing in disguise, right?"

Let's put things one way or another, Ling Tai's behavior cannot be blamed on the Huo family!

A bad person is a bad person, and those who do evil things are evil things. The victim cannot be blamed.

The Huo family finally understood why Xiaobing came all the way to Bashu, because Shen Qing was so different!

Huo Qinglin's eyes moistened, and he murmured hoarsely, "We are so lucky to have met you."

"Yes, you are our savior, like a reborn parent to the entire Huo family!"

If it weren't for Shen Qing, with the Huo family's health getting worse and worse, they would have died one by one in a short time.

Shen Qing didn't dare to take credit for it. She thought that maybe she came because the Huo family had defended their country, served the people wholeheartedly, and accumulated virtues.

It changed Ah Bing's ending, and thus changed theirs as well.

"A repeating crossbow isn't that important. It was General Huo's sincerity that moved the Emperor. I also received a reward for this item, so it wasn't a loss at all."

This was not because she was modest, but because Jiang Fu said that the emperor was grateful to General Huo for not keeping any secrets, not being proud of his own achievements, and not taking all the credit for himself. It was because of this frankness that he brought her a reward after he was reinstated.

If General Huo was not an honest person, the best outcome would probably be that he would be freed from his criminal status and become a commoner.

If she had not helped General Huo, but submitted it herself and passed it on through layers of government, she would also have been rewarded, but the highest she could get would have been the fourth or fifth rank!

Not to mention that the final credit may not even fall on her, as it may be intercepted by higher-level officials at some stage and become theirs.

The Huo family admires Shen Qing even more from the bottom of their hearts.

Repaying a favor is not something that can be done with just words. The four of them kept the favor in their hearts and started talking about other things.

"We have not been back long, and have not paid much attention to the affairs of the capital. I only inquired about it today after hearing that it was you.

After arriving here, I discovered that business is booming. Xiaobing was right. All of us put together are not as smart as you."
