Chapter 1853: Does she dare to have any other thoughts?
The great elder tapped his fingers lightly, his expression changing as he asked, "This incident shouldn't be traced back to us, right?"
"When did you and I get involved in this?" Huo Qing asked back.
The elder raised his eyes slightly, and his gaze met Huo Qing's in mid-air. After a moment, he smiled with an ambiguous meaning, "If that's the case, there must be people who are more anxious about the existence of the eldest lady than us."
Huo Qing certainly understood what the elder meant, but thinking about Huo Wanying's performance during this period, he suddenly had something else in mind, and couldn't help but ask: "Elder, do you feel that Wanying's recent behavior is a little bit unlike her style?"
The elder was slightly stunned, "What do you mean?"
Huo Qing paused for a moment before speaking: "I can't describe it. Maybe she was too calm about the successor assessment?"
Hearing this, the Great Elder raised his hand and waved, "Proud people need a process of digestion when they encounter Waterloo, especially the frustration she felt after underestimating her opponent. I think this is normal."
"That being said, I still feel that..."
Before Huo Qing could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Great Elder.
"You're just thinking too much. Huo Wanying has always been under our control. She can't make any waves. Even if she really has ulterior motives, don't forget what her mother Melissa has done. Can she really kill her own relatives for the sake of justice?"
The Great Elder didn't take it seriously and just thought Huo Qing was being too suspicious.
Without the support of their Council of Elders, Huo Wanying is nothing. How dare she have any disloyal thoughts?
It's a joke.
"Mr. Feng's situation is unclear. The most important thing for us now is to take this opportunity to replace some people in the union with our own people. Even if he is not dead and he comes back, things are a foregone conclusion. What can he do to us?" The Great Elder pursed his lips slightly, his eyes full of calculations.
The so-called successor assessment is just a cover-up; the real purpose is to make a major change in the Huo family.
Huo Qing looked at the Great Elder and did not mention Huo Wanying again. "The Earl's Mansion did express support for our Elders Council."
"The Earl's Mansion has now switched sides to the Second Prince. It will only benefit us if you build a good relationship with the Earl in private." The Great Elder picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said lightly.
"I know." Huo Qing looked at the time and stood up: "I'll go back to the Huo family to find Melissa."
The Great Elder nodded and said, "Okay, let's use her to teach Huo Wanying a lesson."
"Um."

Shangyi Town.
After Deacon Ding's wound was sutured, the group of doctors said a few words to Xiao Xie and left.
Xiao Xie saw the doctor off and then turned back to his room.
Deacon Ding had regained consciousness by this time, his face looking pale and weak from excessive blood loss. "Who are these people?"
Xiao Xie pulled a chair and sat down beside the bed. Not to mention Deacon Ding, even he was still clueless at this moment. "...I was too embarrassed to ask."
Besides, Huang Yin had just left in a hurry and he didn't have time to ask.
Deacon Ding pressed his abdomen lightly with one hand, and slowly supported his body with the other hand to sit on the head of the bed. He glanced at the door, then looked at Xiao Xie again, lowering his voice, "Do you think we will fall into another wolf's den again?"
Xiao Xie looked at him and said, "You are worrying too much. The people who rescued us were sent by the eldest lady."
"Miss?" Deacon Ding was a little shocked. "Where did you get to know these people?"
