Huo Beichen's gaze faltered slightly, a look of doubt appearing on his face.
He didn't seem to understand what she meant.
"To be frank," Hua Fei stopped beating around the bush, "although you exposed Sun Xiaowei's shortcomings just now, you didn't expose them thoroughly enough."
Why don't you say that I was injured this time because she wanted to kill me?
Huo Beichen was shocked, as if he were caught in a vortex of surprise.
"What, you don't believe me?" Hua Fei sneered. "Do you need me to provide you with more details?"
"Take Madam home," Huo Beichen instructed A Yue, then turned and left.
Are you going to leave if you can't answer?
Hua Fei, not one to tolerate his behavior, took two steps forward and said, "Huo Beichen, I hope you can be more honest. You can hurt me if you want, but please don't pretend to be kind while doing so!"
He disgusted her!
Huo Beichen stopped and looked at her intently. "Is there anything else you want to say to me?"
She understood the deeper meaning in his eyes.
He was asking her if she was going to confess that she was Sheng Nanyin!
Hua Fei's expression was cold: "What do you want to know? Do you want to know how the people Sun Xiaowei sent chased me down? How they forced me to fall down the steep slope?"
"Or do you want to hear more details so you can clear your name more clearly?"
Huo Beichen's face gradually darkened, like dark clouds gathering before a storm. "Go home first, and when I get back, I'll give you an explanation."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Where is he going?" A-Yue asked, puzzled.
Hua Fei shook her head; she couldn't guess either.
A-Yue's eyes darted around. "It's alright, I'll send someone to inquire."
Soon, A-Yue received accurate information: "Huo Beichen's assistant took Sun Xiaowei away."
Hua Fei's heart sank.
"Why did he meet with Sun Xiaowei alone at this time?" A-Yue wondered.
"What else can we do? Let's discuss a solution." Hua Fei smiled bitterly. "After all, they can't force me because of Miss Gu and Young Master Lin."
"You seem very unhappy." A-Yue looked at her with pity. "Even now, can his attitude still affect you?"
Hua Fei shook his head. "What do you think?"
However, her gaze was far less resolute than her words.
Hua Fei and A Yue returned home first.
When Aunt Li saw the two of them return together, her eyes widened in surprise.
When Li saw the driver help Aunt Wan in, and Aunt Wan was still asleep, she froze and couldn't say a word.
From her ashen face, one could almost see her tragic fate of being driven out of the Huo family by Huo Beichen...
"What happened?" Aunt Li asked the driver in a low voice. "Why did she fall asleep? Did she take good care of my wife?"
The driver chuckled coldly, "Taking good care of your wife, huh! Tonight, when others were mocking her, it was Mr. Huo who personally stood up for her!"
The driver briefly recounted what had happened that evening.
The more Aunt Li listened, the uglier her face became. "Oh my god!" she suddenly cried out, then collapsed unconscious with a thud.
"Aunt Li!" the driver exclaimed.
"What's going on?" Hua Fei and A Yue rushed over upon hearing the commotion.
"She suddenly fainted!" the driver replied.
Hua Fei quickly checked Aunt Li over and instructed the driver, "Quickly lay her flat on the ground."
Then he instructed A-Yue: "Give her acupuncture at the Tianchi and Tanzhong acupoints."
A-Yue quickly grabbed a syringe and did as instructed.
But after the two needles were inserted, Aunt Li did not react.
"What should I do?" Knowing that her skills were not up to par, A-Yue immediately asked Hua-Fei for help.
Hua Fei held a needle in her right hand, pondered for a moment, and then swiftly and accurately pierced Aunt Li's wrist.
Before long, Aunt Li slowly woke up, and some color returned to her face.
What's wrong with me?
“You’re alright,” Hua Fei said. “Driver, help her back to her room to rest.”
Hua Fei was also tired and went back to her room.
She washed up first, preparing to go to the children's room to check on Zeze, when there was a knock on the door.
Upon opening the door, I was surprised to see Aunt Li standing there, her face full of gratitude.
"Thank you, madam, thank you for saving me just now..."
After hearing the driver's account of what happened, she rushed over immediately.
"Come in and sit down," Hua Fei invited her into the house. "You should lie down and rest. There's no need to rush to thank me."
Aunt Li sat down, her mind heavy: "My illness is hereditary in my family. My father had the same thing; he collapsed and never woke up again..."
"Madam, if I hadn't run into you today, I would have been in the same predicament."
Hua Fei smiled and comforted her, "Didn't you run into me? I'll give you another course of treatment, and you won't be like this anymore."
"Also, your dad is in a coma, right? I can go and check on him later."
Aunt Li was stunned for a moment, then stood up abruptly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Madam... I don't know how to thank you..."
Hua Fei shook his head: "If you really want to thank me, go back and get some rest now."
She won't be staying here much longer, so she'll help as many people as she can.
Aunt Li agreed repeatedly, got up and walked towards the door, her expression becoming increasingly hesitant...
As she reached the door, she made up her mind, turned back, and said, "Madam, there are some things I feel I should tell you."
She remembered it was about two years ago.
At that time, Sheng Nanyin had disappeared for a long time.
Sun Xiaowei lives in this house every day, and her behavior is almost like that of the lady of the house.
One day, Aunt Li overheard her on the phone saying, "...It would be best if he were scared out of his wits and turned into an idiot, hahaha, who would place their hopes on an idiot?"
At the time, Aunt Li didn't understand what she meant.
But not long after, the young master began to have relapses.
Aunt Li shook her head. "I don't know if the young master's illness is related to Miss Sun. I dare not make any connections, and I dare not say anything."
"Ever since the young master fell ill, Mr. Huo has invited many doctors to his home every year, but none of them have been able to cure him."
"Later, an older doctor came; his surname was Qiu."
Dr. Qiu said he could cure the young master's illness, and after his treatment, the young master did indeed sleep much more peacefully at night.
Huo Beichen trusted him greatly, and sometimes, in order to make it easier to treat the young master's illness, he would even let Dr. Qiu stay overnight.
"But this Dr. Qiu is not a decent person!" Aunt Li rebuked him in shame and indignation.
Hua Fei was taken aback, but he had a rough idea of what was going on.
Sure enough, Aunt Li said that this man surnamed Qiu would take the opportunity to touch her inappropriately, and once even tried to force himself on her.
Fortunately, the housekeeper arrived in time.
At the time, President Huo was away on a business trip, and Sun Xiaowei handled all the family matters.
After listening to Aunt Li's accusations, Sun Xiaowei actually said it was just a misunderstanding, and the man surnamed Qiu also said that he had just fallen!
"Didn't you call Huo Beichen?" Hua Fei asked.
“I made the call,” Aunt Li nodded. “Mr. Huo said he would give me some compensation and let me find another job.”
