She then asked, "You are from Northridge, right?"
Zhang Zhongjian and others were shocked!
She narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled brightly, "You are the ones who escaped from Huo Qing's rebellion ten years ago, right?"
Zhang Zhongjian and the others all turned pale, too shocked to express themselves with words! Even Ye Zelin and Yu Chisu looked at Hua Fushu in amazement!
Three questions, these three questions shocked everyone present!
No one spoke to refute Hua Fushu's three questions. There was silence for a moment, and the atmosphere was strange and tense. However, in the middle of this tense atmosphere, Hua Fushu suddenly stood up and looked around at everyone. Their expressions were so wonderful that no words could describe them. Shock, confusion, tension and other emotions were intertwined and very complicated.
She chuckled, "You know my uncle. You're from Beiling. You're the ones who escaped."
She spoke in a calm tone, but with great certainty.
Ye Zelin looked at Hua Fushu's back, his brows furrowed. Did she know everything? Or was she trying to trick Zhang Zhongjian and Sai Yuhuan into revealing something?
Hua Fushu suddenly looked at Sai Yuhuan and said, "Or should I call the boss General Huo?"
Instantly, Sai Yuhuan's face turned pale, and her hands trembled uncontrollably. She slowly met Hua Fushu's gaze. She remained calm and tried her best to control her emotions. She smiled and said, "Little girl, I don't know what you are talking about. What does what you said have to do with me?"
Hua Fushu said calmly, "It doesn't matter if the boss doesn't admit it, because you will admit it soon."
Ye Zelin walked up to Hua Fushu, put one hand around her back to support her, and said, "Fushu, what do you know?"
Her three questions had already shocked Ye Zelin, and her calling Sai Yuhuan "General Huo" made him even more confused. He had a hunch that Hua Fushu must know something.
This is not a guess, but a certainty!
Hua Fushu turned around and smiled faintly: "You will know what I know in a moment."
Ye Zelin helped Hua Fushu sit down, and then she briefly recounted her investigation in Beiling. She had learned that when Huo Qing rebelled and the Prince of Qinghe suppressed the rebellion, her uncle Hua Mingqiao fled with Huo Qing's daughter Huo Linglong and some soldiers. Unfortunately, her uncle died, and Huo Linglong and the others' whereabouts were unknown.
The one who had hunted down Huo Linglong and the others was a general named Tang from the Beiling Army. She had learned some of the inside stories of Huo Qing's rebellion from this general. This general had served under Huo Qing, and after Huo Qing's rebellion, Prince Qinghe became the new commander-in-chief of Beiling. Now, General Tang served under Prince Qinghe.
Of course, Hua Fushu only told everyone what she knew, and did not explain how she got the news, including how she knew General Tang.
"...This is what I found out back then, Boss. Do you believe it?"
Everyone in Dayi Hall, excluding Hua Fushu, looked at each other and cast their glances at Hua Fushu at the same time.
Ye Zelin knew little about the rebellion of Huo Qing, the Northern Ridge garrison commander, ten years prior. The allegation that his uncle, Hua Mingqiao, was implicated in Huo Qing's rebellion had already alarmed him, and the secrets Hua Fushu had revealed had left him speechless. Surprise was beyond description on his face; it was clearly terror!
Such a secret, apart from the people who handled Huo Qing's affairs and the late emperor, was probably unknown to anyone. How did Hua Fushu find out? As far as he knew, the 30,000 soldiers who followed Huo Qing in the rebellion, along with the Huo family, had all died at the hands of the Prince of Qinghe. How could anyone have escaped? Even if someone had escaped, how could the Prince of Qinghe, with his methods, have let them go?
Hua Fushu, what else does she know?
Is she investigating all this just for her uncle?
Zhang Zhongjian was more than surprised, he simply couldn't believe it! Hua'er actually knew all this!
She was right, they were the ones who escaped!
Sai Yuhuan was deeply shocked, yet she remained calm and composed, as if what Hua Fushu said had nothing to do with her. Her heart was in turmoil. Hua Fushu was absolutely right; she and her brothers were survivors of the catastrophe. But she had no intention of admitting it. No matter what Hua Fushu said, she would not admit it. Hua Fushu was just speculating, and she had no evidence to prove anything.
She sat on the wooden chair behind her, crossed her legs, and looked at Hua Fushu like a superior. She sneered at what Hua Fushu said and didn't believe it at all.
She smiled with interest and said, "Little girl, you are really good at making up stories. You are trying to pin any blame on me. Who here would believe what you said?"
Ye Zelin said first: "I believe her."
Yu Chisu also said, "I believe my sister-in-law, too."
A little girl with superb medical skills who saved her uncle and kept the account book for them, how could she be an ordinary person?
The fact that she traveled thousands of miles to Yuezhou to find her husband shows her courage which is beyond the reach of ordinary women.
Yu Chisu could not find any reason not to trust Hua Fushu!
Seeing this, Zhang Zhongjian wanted to laugh for some reason. As a member of the imperial court, Ye Zelin should not have believed such a secret. He would even scold Hua Fushu for talking nonsense. However, he chose to believe it. It seemed that he and Hua'er had a very good relationship.
If they didn't have a good relationship, why would they protect the flowers so closely, fearing that they would hurt them?
Zhang Zhongjian didn't laugh in the end, because if he laughed, Hua Fushu might be even more suspicious of their identities. As long as they didn't admit it, what could Huaer do to them?
Hua Fushu did not think of forcing Sai Yuhuan to confess. Every word she said was a test. She could not confirm the true identities of Sai Yuhuan and others. She was just suspicious.
The more Sai Yuhuan argued, the more she doubted their identities.
She wanted to confirm whether Sai Yuhuan was the orphan of the Huo family. If she was, she would not let her go. If she was not, she would consider letting her go. If she was not, even if she could not avenge her sword attack today, she would do so someday!
In fact, deep down, she didn't want Sai Yuhuan to be the orphan of the Huo family. Zhang Zhongjian had saved her life, and she had a good impression of Zhang Zhongjian. She didn't want to become an enemy of Zhang Zhongjian.
Hua Fushu remained calm and composed. She asked, "Boss, are you an orphan of the Huo family?"
Sai Yuhuan didn't expect Hua Fushu to ask so directly. She was afraid that Hua Fushu would continue to ask about Beiling, so she simply said, "No."
She answered extremely calmly. Only when she appeared calm would Hua Fushu stop doubting her.
Hua Fushu turned to Sai Yuhuan and said seriously, "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Even if the boss is really the orphan of the Huo family, he won't admit it. Who would dare to die? Those who turn back after hitting the wall are sensible, and those who don't are stubborn. I am neither sensible nor stubborn. I have asked all the questions I should ask. If I continue to be stubborn, what if the boss gets impatient and kills me? I will suffer a great loss. So, I'd better quit while I'm ahead."
