Chapter 280 Strong Aura
After all, Mrs. Huo was not young anymore, and she had been lying in bed for eighteen years, so her body functions had deteriorated a lot. Even if she woke up, she could not recover fully for a while.
Huo Qinghuang frowned and looked at Huo Lingfeng: "Give mom a bottle of Peiyuan Pills. Take one pill every day."
Huo Lingfeng didn't understand at first, but after seeing Mrs. Huo's expression, he immediately realized what was going on and nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll get it later."
Huo Qinghuang nodded, then squinted at Huo Lingjun and said with great disdain, "It's been so long, and you still haven't brought your sister-in-law back. You're so useless."
Sister-in-law Jiang Yingzhen was a woman with broad eyebrows and eyes, who looked very generous. She had met her briefly at the Huo family banquet.
Women with this kind of personality can take it or leave it, and once they make a decision, it is difficult to change it.
Huo Lingjun was so blind that he hurt the person so badly. It's no wonder that the person didn't want to come back with him.
This is because Jiang Yingzhen has a good temper. If it were her, she would have turned the man into fertilizer long ago.
Huo Lingjun's face turned red and white after being confronted by Huo Qinghuang. He stammered and explained, "I... I've been looking for an opportunity. She wants to come back, but the Jiang family is a bit difficult to deal with. I'm just thinking of a way."
After hearing this, Huo Yuheng also frowned slightly.
He also didn't expect that the Jiang family would protect their daughter to this extent, even disregarding the relationship between the two families.
Seeing this, Huo Lingfeng quickly tried to smooth things over, "Qinghuang, my brother has been busy with company matters recently and may not have time to pick up my sister-in-law. But don't worry, I will remind him."
Huo Qinghuang snorted coldly, her eyes still cold: "Busy? No matter how busy you are, you don't even have time to go home? Huo Lingjun, don't forget why your sister-in-law left. If you don't even have this little bit of responsibility, the future of the Huo family will sooner or later follow the footsteps of the Song family if it is handed over to you."
Her aura was too strong, and she scolded Huo Lingjun as if he were scolding her grandson. The others all shrank their necks and dared not speak, for fear that the war would spread to them.
Huo Lingjun felt miserable.
Jiang Yingzhen's parents' family also has a certain status in the business world. Since the two had a conflict, she returned to her parents' home.
The Jiang family has been putting pressure on him, and they treat him like a nose or eyes. He is planning to conquer them one by one, starting with his mother-in-law.
But it was not easy to bring these up, so he could only nod silently: "I understand, I will go and pick her up as soon as possible."
Huo Qinghuang then retracted his gaze and softened his tone a little: "I hope you will do what you say. The Huo family does not need someone who can't even handle family affairs to be at the helm."
"How about this, tomorrow I will go to the Jiang family with the eldest brother and personally apologize to Yingzhen. It is my fault that I failed to teach the eldest brother well and let her suffer."
At this time, Mrs. Huo suddenly sighed and spoke.
When these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Huo Yuheng's face darkened instantly, and he looked at Huo Lingjun with a fierce look.
If that bastard dares to agree to this and let his wife suffer, I will definitely break his legs!
Fortunately, after Huo Lingjun was cured of the poison, his IQ remained online.
"mom!"
He raised his head suddenly, his eyes slightly red, and gritted his teeth and said, "I can handle this matter myself, Mom, you should have a good rest and don't worry about me."
As the eldest son among his brothers and sisters, he received the most care when he was young. He deserved it from himself. The Jiang family could treat him however they wanted, but they could not let his mother suffer as well.
"Humph! You're smart!"
Huo Yuheng snorted coldly, and his expression softened.
Mrs. Huo opened her mouth and wanted to continue to argue, but was interrupted by Huo Lingfeng.
"Qing Huang, I have already mastered the recipes of Pei Yuan Dan and Bi Gu Dan. Do you have any other recipes you can teach me?"
He blinked at Huo Lingjun and quickly changed the subject.
After hearing this, Huo Jiayue instantly recovered from his ostrich state and his eyes widened.
"A new recipe? I want to learn it too!"
"You know how to make Peiyuan Pills and Bigu Pills?"
Huo Qinghuang glanced at her sideways.
"meeting!"
Huo Jiayue nodded immediately, but when she met Huo Qinghuang's gaze, she shrank her head and whispered, "Yes, I'm not very skilled, but that's because I have to go to school and don't have much time."
"So you still want to learn a new recipe, but don't you know you can't chew too much?"
Huo Qinghuang frowned and didn't intend to indulge her.
"But, I can learn from my second brother first, so I don't have to trouble my sister to teach me again."
Huo Jiayue blinked and said very sensibly.
It has to be said that this reason successfully convinced Huo Qinghuang.
She is the one who hates trouble the most.
If there is trouble, she will eliminate the troublemaker.
"Okay, if you want to learn, then put in some effort and don't make me teach you a second time."
Huo Qinghuang nodded, which was considered as her agreement.
Her gaze fell on Mrs. Huo again, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
Although on the surface she was not as nice to Mrs. Huo as Huo Jiayue was, always acting coquettishly around Mrs. Huo, deep down in her heart she still hoped that Mrs. Huo could recover as soon as possible.
Mrs. Huo seemed to feel Huo Qinghuang's gaze, and slowly raised her head with a gentle smile: "Qinghuang, don't worry, Mom will be fine."
Huo Qinghuang was slightly stunned, then pursed her lips and said softly: "You should have a good rest and don't think too much."
Mrs. Huo smiled and said nothing more.
She knew that Huo Qinghuang's personality had always been like this. She looked difficult to approach on the outside, but she was softer than anyone else on the inside.
"Okay, now that everything has been arranged, let's follow Qing Huang's plan."
Huo Yuheng finally made the decision: "Ling Jun, you will be responsible for following up on the acquisition of the Qiu and Song families. Ling Chuan, you should have a good rest and recover as soon as possible.
Jiayue, since you have decided to learn alchemy, then study hard and don’t be half-hearted. In the end, you will learn nothing.”
Huo Jiayue stuck out her tongue and did not refute.
Huo Qinghuang stood up, glanced at everyone, and said calmly: "If there is nothing else, I will go back to my room first."
Huo Yuheng nodded: "Go ahead, tell us if you need anything."
Huo Qinghuang nodded slightly, turned around, left the hall, and went upstairs.
Her back was still upright and indifferent, as if she was out of tune with this world.
After she left, Huo Lingjun asked in a low voice: "Dad, how did Qing Huang do it? Oh, Lao Wu, do you really have no impression at all?"
The old man is in Bureau 749, so he must know more than them.
And there is Lao Wu, whose mouth is tighter than a clam shell. Since he came back, no information has been pried out of him.
Where has the sharp-tongued and loud-mouthed Lao Wu gone?
Huo Lingchuan rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
His head was shot through, and he was lucky to be alive. What could he know?
When he thought of Ao Jiu's existence, he didn't want to talk about it anymore.
Although he didn't know Ao Jiu's origins, he knew in his heart that a being who could live in a dragon vein could not be an ordinary person.
Moreover, for some reason, he always felt that there was a sense of familiarity about Ao Jiu, which made him want to get closer to him.
If Huo Qinghuang knew what he was thinking, she would answer him as a matter of course, you sucked all the essence out of someone's remains, how can you not feel close to them?
Huo Yuheng shook his head, his eyes deep: "There are some things that we don't need to know too much. Qing Huang has her own code of conduct, we just need to trust her."
Huo Lingjun was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.
