Chapter 839 They Have a Mine

Huo Xingzhou didn't even change his posture, but asked in a low voice: "What news?"

Old Chen replied: "The Pei family and the Feng family are getting married, and the two families will hold a banquet soon."

"Oh, that's to be expected."

Huo Xingzhou knew Pei Zheng, a man who would achieve his goals. It was just a small Feng family, wouldn't it be easy for him to capture it?

Even if the Feng family is unwilling, he will use threats and inducements to force them.

"Master, why did the Pei family have to pick on the Feng family? Could it be that the Feng family is really like what is rumored outside, with many treasures left by their ancestors? Some people even say that it is a gold mine."

Huo Xingzhou said sternly: "It is illegal to mine gold privately."

Those important precious metals belong to the country.

"Hey." Old Chen scratched his head, "Young Master, these legal provisions only restrict some people. Those families don't care. They hold a lot of resources in their hands."

"So do you think the Feng family has any mines?"

"How should I know? You'd have to ask the Feng family. But they never told anyone that they have a mine."

Huo Xingzhou felt that Pei Zheng was not an impulsive person. Since he chose the Feng family, there must be something. The Pei family wanted to use the marriage relationship to annex the Feng family to strengthen themselves.

Pei Zheng did not do this to support Zhong Lingxiao.

He wants to surpass the Zhong family.

"Mr. Chen, when is the engagement party?"

"Next week, they are sending out invitations everywhere, and they will definitely not leave out our Huo family. If they really are sent, will we go, Master?"

"Let's go. How can we miss such a lively event?"

Now that the Lu family is gone, the conflicts between the remaining major families have become more intensified.

The entire imperial capital knew about the internal struggle between Zhong Yi and Zhong Lingxiao, and the Pei family's intention to make a move. However, the Guan family seemed to be silent, not participating in any struggles or taking sides.

They did not have the ability to reap the benefits while sitting back and relaxing, and could only end up being eaten by the victors.

"Then young master, we have to order dresses in advance. Master Yilin's studio is temporarily closed and she is not designing any new products this quarter. She said she is out looking for inspiration." The master is willful and can stop working whenever she wants.

Of course, you should wear a new style dress.

"Well, go find another one. Go investigate the situation first, don't go to a place that is filled with smoke and miasma."

"Yes, Master."

Old Chen knew that the young master was now more cautious and took the young mistress's health into consideration.

"There is one more thing. Mr. Cheng is planning to leave the capital. He was packing his things this morning and said he was going to take a plane back to Haicheng."

When Qiao Xi heard that Cheng Han was leaving, she became anxious.

She threw back the quilt and tried to get out of bed, but she almost fell down.

Huo Xingzhou quickly grabbed her and prevented her from falling to the ground, "Slow down."

"I'm fine, my legs just felt weak for a moment."

Qiao Xi stood up, put on a coat and walked out, "Old Chen, did Master Cheng say that the flight is today?"

"Yes, in the afternoon."

“It’s so sudden!”

Qiao Xi frowned and walked to the third floor.

She knew that Master Cheng would definitely leave, but she didn't expect him to leave so early. She was drunk last night, and she wanted to leave the capital after she sobered up today.

Huo Xingzhou comforted him, "Don't worry. Even if he really wants to leave, I will arrange everything. I won't let him go back to Haicheng alone at such an old age."

The three of them walked to the third floor and saw that Cheng Han's room door was open.

He was packing some clothes in a simple backpack. Cheng Han didn't know much about the Internet, so he planned to buy a ticket after arriving at the airport. After this trip, he probably won't come to the capital again.

He heard the noise and turned around, only to find Qiao Xi looking at him with a pale face.

"You guys are here? I plan to go back to Haicheng today."

"Master Cheng, it's too early."

"I've been delayed for so long, I should leave. That's my home, I like the quiet days in the village. The neighbors are also very caring to me, I don't want to do anything at my age. Besides, those people in the imperial capital always want to use me to restrain you and clean up the mess of the Chinese Medicine Association."

Cheng Han didn't want to be a burden, so he said, "Qiao girl, do whatever you want, don't worry about anyone. Even if you don't like the Chinese Medicine Association, you can quit. Anyway, our goal has been achieved."

Qiao Xi's eyes turned red and she nodded.

"Qiao girl, we are just ordinary people. It's good enough if we can do it with a clear conscience. You don't have to take on any heavy responsibilities. The future of traditional Chinese medicine cannot be placed on your shoulders."

"I know."

Cheng Han's words made Qiao Xi feel much more relieved.

She always thought that Master Cheng had great ideals and hoped that she could reach his level. But he didn't have such an idea and only hoped that she would follow her heart's choice.

Qiao Xi bit her lip and asked, "Master Cheng, have you really decided to leave like this? What about Cheng Qingnian?"

"Let her be. I'm not kidding."

"I'm worried about you leaving like this."

"What's there to worry about? I came to the capital on my own." Cheng Han zipped up his backpack, put it on his back and said, "Take good care of yourself. You have to take care of your body. I'll wait for you to return to Haicheng, and then we'll have more opportunities to meet."

Seeing how stubborn he was, Qiao Xi didn't know how to persuade him.

Instead, Huo Xingzhou said, "I'll send a private plane to take you back so you don't have to travel too much. Don't be hasty to refuse, or Qiao Xi will be worried all the way. She only cares about a few people, and you happen to be a very important person to her."

"Old Chen, go and make the arrangements."

He didn't give Cheng Han a chance to refuse.

Cheng Han was helpless.

Huo Xingzhou smiled and said, "Let's have lunch before we go."

Cheng Han reluctantly agreed: "Okay."

Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief and curled up the corners of her mouth.

…

The lunch was a sumptuous one.

With Huo Sijiao and Sun Weimeng around, the dinner table is bound to be lively.

The chatter of the two of them could outshine that of five hundred people, diluting the sadness of parting.

In the afternoon, the private plane drove to the tarmac at the gate and Cheng Han left directly.

When the plane took off, a Cullinan was parked at the gate of the villa. When Zhong Yi came down, he happened to meet Huo Xingzhou head-on. He took a look at the plane that was already in the sky and spoke.

"Looks like I'm late."

Huo Xingzhou said calmly: "It's too late. I can't even catch up to see you off."

Zhong Yi looked at Qiao Xi with a gift box of supplements in her hand, "The capital is not a good place for Master Cheng, it would be better for him to return to Haicheng. I heard that you were sick, so I found some supplements for you to improve your immunity. I asked someone to check it out, and they are all safe for pregnant women."

Huo Xingzhou took it and said, "Thank you."

Zhong Yi smiled wryly: "This is for Qiao Xi."

"Same."

Huo Xingzhou handed the supplements to Sun Weimeng and said, "Send them to the kitchen and let Xiaoyuan take care of them."

Sun Weimeng's eyes rolled around twice and he said, "Okay."

It looks like these two masters are going to clash again today!
