Chapter 207: Don’t Dare to Say Anything More

“A married daughter is like water that has been poured out. Since we’re talking about this, I think you should return to the Huo family as little as possible in the future. Otherwise, if the Huo family loses something valuable and someone accidentally suspects you, it will hurt our relationship.”

Just as Chen Man finished speaking, Huo Lian’s expression changed drastically and she couldn’t help but flare up. “Sister-in-law! What are you saying? Are you saying that you want to chase me out of the Huo family in front of the old man and my brothers?”

When Chen Man heard this, she calmly looked up at Huo Lian and said with slight disdain, “You can’t say that. Since you were able to criticize my daughter-in-law like that just now. Can’t I discipline you on behalf of the old man? Everyone says that a sister-in-law is like a mother. As the sister-in-law, it’s natural for me to educate my younger sister.”

Huo Lian was a person who spoke rashly. Although her face was red from anger, she couldn’t think of a retort. She held her chest with one hand and tried to catch her breath while pointing at Chen Man in front of her with the other hand.

Seeing the anxious atmosphere, Huo Peng, who had been standing quietly at the side and watching the show, couldn’t help but take a step forward and say, “Sister-in-law, let’s talk about my younger sister another day. Why don’t we discuss the ownership of the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb? It’s not impossible to give the spirit herb to this little girl, unless she returns the one trillion in the Huo family’s account.”

Huo Peng’s expression carried a hint of displeasure. He was at the auction venue tonight and had accurately heard that the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb was sold at a price of one trillion. Huo Peng was almost certain that such a huge sum of money was definitely paid by Huo Xuan with the Huo family’s funds.

When Chen Man heard this, she turned to the man angrily and continued coldly, “Which eye of yours saw that Xiao Zhu spent our money to buy the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb? Second Brother, you can’t just say it without thinking.”

When Huo Peng saw that Chen Man was protecting Mo Zhu wholeheartedly, he touched his chin and retorted, “Sister-in-law, according to you, could this little girl have produced such a huge sum of money out of thin air?”

Hearing Huo Peng’s doubts, Chen Man sneered. “Since you don’t believe me, why don’t we check the Huo family’s accounts together?”

Huo Peng’s pupils immediately constricted when he heard this. His expression changed drastically as he waved his hand. “It’s alright, it’s alright, Sister-in-law. Why don’t we leave the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb to Mo Zhu? After all, she had personally bid for it. Logically speaking, we should give it to her.”

Since Huo Peng had said so, the expressions of the others who came to the Huo family with him immediately changed and they started to agree.

“Yes, yes. Let’s give this spirit herb to Mo Zhu.”

Seeing this, Chen Man looked at everyone indifferently. Although she did not show it on her face, she knew very well that the reason why these people’s attitudes changed so quickly was probably because they were afraid of the checking of accounts she had mentioned just now.

That’s right. All these years, when the Huo family wanted to settle accounts, there would always be some unknown funds lost. She and Huo Tao had always turned a blind eye to it. If they were really going to calculate, not to mention asking these people to make up for the lost money, it was also possible for these people to be detained at the police station if the sum was too huge.

“Second Brother! How can you say such things? Didn’t we agree before we came…” When Huo Lian heard that everyone was frightened by Chen Man, her expression was cold and she immediately wanted to argue with her.

Huo Tao naturally understood what she wanted to say. Before Huo Lian could finish, he cleared his throat and interrupted the woman with a stern expression. “Sister-in-law is right. Since you’re already married, you should return to the Huo family as little as possible from now on. It’s more important to live honestly. Don’t keep thinking of using the Huo family’s money to make up for your in-law’s hole..”
