Chapter 119
The head butler looked at Wen Xin with shock and curiosity, wondering who this girl was that could make even a cold and ruthless figure like the young marshal bow down.
etc……
When the young marshal returned this time, he seemed to have said that he would bring the eldest daughter of the Wen family in Biancheng with him.
The head housekeeper looked back but didn't see any other women in the car behind.
so……
The head butler almost lost his composure, gasped, and was internally screaming "Holy crap!"
"Dad, what are you staring at?"
You Yuan walked up to the head butler and waved his paw.
The head steward slapped away his unfilial son's hand, "What kind of behavior is this in front of the young marshal?"
Huo Jingzhou nodded slightly to the head butler: "Uncle You."
The head steward smiled respectfully and kindly, "Young Marshal, you must be tired from your journey."
"Is this Miss Wen?"
Having seen it all, the head butler kept his inner turmoil hidden on his face and treated Wen Xin with great kindness.
You can't hit someone who's smiling. Although Wen Xin was depressed because of Huo Jingfeng's announcement of breaking off the engagement, she wouldn't hold a grudge against the other members of the Huo family.
She gave a slight smile and said, "Hello."
The head butler waved his hand and hurriedly said, "Miss Wen, just call me Old You."
Wen Xin, naturally, wouldn't be so impolite, and followed Huo Jingzhou's lead, calling him "Uncle You."
The head butler was immediately impressed by the delicate, beautiful, polite, and gentle young girl.
Thinking that the second young master is really blind, he doesn't want such a fiancée, does he want to fly to the sky?
cough!
The head steward couldn't help but glance at the young marshal again. It seemed that the young lady from the Wen family had a deep connection with the Huo family.
The young marshal is infinitely more reliable than the second young master.
The head steward ignored his silly son, who was winking at him, and said kindly to Wen Xin, "Miss, you look tired from your journey. Please come inside and rest. The Commander has been waiting for you all day."
Wen Xin looked at Huo Jingzhou, and the man said to her gently, "Let's go."
The little girl nodded and obediently followed beside him.
Upon seeing this, the head butler's face broke into wrinkles with laughter.
You Yuan mouthed, "Father, she is the future young marshal's wife!"
The head butler slapped his son on the back of the head, telling him to shut his mouth properly, before following the young marshal and Miss Wen inside.
Yu Yuan, clutching his head and gasping for breath in pain, was speechless.
Is this his biological father?
...
The main building of the Huo family mansion, with its magnificent Western-style decor, was now filled with people and bustling with activity.
Marshal Huo sat on the large sofa in the middle. The man, who was over fifty years old, did not look old. His long military career had given him sharp eyes. He sat upright like a pine tree, giving people a great sense of pressure.
Sitting on the sofas on both sides were his eight concubines, as well as Huo Jingzhou's brothers and sisters.
Wen Xin noticed that the concubine sitting at the very end wasn't much older than her, and she was holding a baby girl who was still breastfeeding. Well, that must be Huo Jingzhou's youngest sister.
Wen Xin: "..."
Should we say that General Huo is still vigorous despite his advanced age, or that he's shameless?
That's incredibly prolific in marrying and fathering children!
However, putting aside Huo's power, he still looks like a handsome middle-aged man, and there are plenty of women willing to be his concubines.
This is a personal choice, there's nothing more to say about it.
Huo Jingzhou was already used to this kind of scene.
When he led Wen Xin in, everyone except Marshal Huo stood up to greet him, their respectful demeanor tinged with a hint of fear, demonstrating the power and influence Marshal Huo wielded in the Huo family mansion.
Huo Jingzhou nodded slightly in response, looked at the seated Marshal Huo, and calmly called out, "Father."
Huo Shaoshuai only glanced at his cold-hearted son before his gaze fell on Wen Xin.
Although the little girl was a bit reserved, her eyes did not dart away; she was dignified, poised, and very well-mannered.
The Wen family is a large family with hundreds of years of history. How could the young ladies they raise be anything less than excellent?
Speaking of which, the Huo family's first two generations were all peasants!
They now wield power and have plenty of confidence, but in terms of wealth and heritage, they are no match for the Wen family.
The Wen family's daughter is more than a match for Huo Jingfeng, that scoundrel, or even his most outstanding eldest son.
Thinking of the outrageous things Huo Jingfeng had done, Commander Huo was so angry he almost ground his gold teeth to powder, and felt even more guilty towards his deceased brother Wen.
If it weren't for Brother Wen's generous donations, how could he have conquered the Nanjiang area so easily?
He was genuinely grateful to his good brother, which is why he wanted the two families to become in-laws.
result……
General Huo's temples throbbed.
Later, he'll definitely break that bastard's second brother's legs!
Suppressing his anger, Commander Huo gave Wen Xin a loving smile. "You must be Xiao Xin, right? I'm your Uncle Huo. I even held you when you were a month old."
Wen Xin placed her hands at her sides and gave Huo Dashuai a junior's curtsy, saying, "Greetings, Uncle Huo."
"Alright, get up quickly and come to your uncle."
General Huo beckoned to the girl, his face clearly showing his fondness for her.
Wen Xin then looked at Huo Jingzhou.
Huo Jingzhou nodded slightly to her.
Wen Xin then sat down next to Commander Huo.
With his sharp eyes, General Huo immediately noticed the interaction between his eldest son and the young girl.
His eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say much in public.
Marshal Huo looked at the girl and sighed, his words filled with guilt and sadness, "Biancheng suddenly changed, and Uncle Huo was unable to save your father in time, causing great disaster to the Wen family."
Wen Xin pursed her lips and obediently shook her head, "It's not Uncle Huo's fault, and besides, the young marshal has already helped me a lot."
Marshal Huo felt even more sorry for the little girl. "From now on, you can live comfortably in the Huo family mansion and treat this place as your own home. Your father and I are like brothers, and I will definitely take good care of you for him."
Wen Xin did not agree this time.
She took a deep breath and got straight to the point without beating around the bush: "Uncle Huo, when I first came to the city, I heard... that the second young master had already published a notice in the newspaper to dissolve our engagement."
Commander Huo's face instantly froze.
From the moment Wen Xin entered, she had been secretly observing her. A woman in a dark green cheongsam, still charming, who was standing at the front of the concubines, quickly said, "Miss Wen, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."
"Jing Feng acted impulsively in a moment of confusion; he didn't mean it that way."
Wen Xin turned her head and looked over, asking in confusion, "Who are you?"
The second concubine's lips twitched.
Marshal Huo pointed at her and introduced her: "She is Huo Jingfeng's biological mother, my second concubine."
The fact that Commander Huo was so disrespectful to his second concubine was clearly because Huo Jingfeng had taken it upon himself to publish a notice in the newspaper to dissolve his engagement with Wen Xin, which had greatly angered him, and he was now taking his anger out on his second concubine.
After the death of the first wife, the second wife took charge of the Huo family's inner quarters. She always acted like the mistress of the house and often went to social events with Marshal Huo. Everyone gave her face and called her "Mrs. Huo".
Now, in front of everyone, Commander Huo has pointed out that she is nothing more than a concubine...
