Mrs. Huo's expression suddenly changed. She interrupted without hesitation: "What nonsense are you talking about? Our Huo family has a clean and upright family tradition. Why would we go to such a dirty place?"
Mrs. Du hurriedly said, "Yes, the Huo family has a clean and upright family tradition!"
Lin Yiwan didn't bother to care about their quarrel. She just wanted to vent her anger for Ling'er, and she felt so relieved.
She said impatiently: "Alright, you two have been staying in our Zhan Yihou Mansion for quite some time, so hurry back!"
Mrs. Huo's face looked a little ugly, and she at least left some food for him.
She paid so much for the medical consultation and was so shocked and frightened that she didn't even get a sip of tea.
Lin Yiwan is so stingy!
No matter how dissatisfied she was in her heart, she really didn't dare to say it out loud.
After all, the evidence is in their hands!
She said with a forced smile, "Madam Hou, you should know how to explain the reason for our visit to the outside world, right?"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "Of course I know, isn't it just to see Mr. Du?"
Madam Huo quickly agreed: "Yes, it's a medical consultation. He was bitten by mosquitoes and had red marks on his body that hadn't gone away, so he came to Madam Hou for help!"
Lin Yiwan winked at her cunningly: "Don't worry, I wouldn't dare ruin Mr. Du's reputation. However, Madam Huo should also be careful of outsiders gossiping about her!"
Old Madam Huo understood very well that she was talking about Mrs. Hu San. She regretted very much at this moment that she should not have asked this matchmaker to come.
Now I'm afraid it will take some effort to shut her up!
She left angrily with Mrs. Du and Mrs. Hu. As soon as she came outside, she saw many people watching the excitement.
She spoke subconsciously: "Madam Hou is indeed an excellent doctor. Our illness was cured so easily in her hands!"
Mrs. Du also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Madam Hou is a kind-hearted doctor!"
She clearly hated Lin Yiwan for causing her family to be destroyed, but she had to speak well of her, which really made Mrs. Du feel miserable.
In a word, she truly spoke with gritted teeth.
At this time, some people asked curiously: "Madam Huo, when you came to our house before, didn't you say you were here to propose marriage? You even brought along our capital's most famous matchmaker, Mrs. Hu San!"
Madam Huo frowned and denied, "No, you must have heard wrong. We're seeking medical advice, not marriage. As for Miss Hu coming along, it's because she's also ill and asked me for a favor to see Madam Hou!"
Mrs. Hu San, who was following behind, suddenly turned pale and ugly. She was furious in her heart: "You are sick, your whole family is sick!"
After getting on the carriage, she said with a gloomy face: "Old Madam, you really let me spend a lot of money this time!"
She thought she had something on Madam Huo, so she spoke without any respect at all.
Madam Huo placed the teacup heavily on the table and said, "What's the matter? Do you think the Huo family still owes you that little bit of money?"
After all, she is an old princess who has lived a life of luxury, and her demeanor and pressure are still very intimidating.
The shrewd Mrs. Hu San was immediately startled and broke out in a cold sweat. She frowned and said, "That's not what I meant, old lady. Please don't misunderstand me!"
Madam Huo snorted coldly: "After I go back, I will give you five thousand taels of silver. Come with me to the mansion to get it!"
Mrs. Hu's eyes rolled and she immediately reacted.
She shook her head in panic: "No, this silver is nothing. I have other things to do, so I won't follow the old lady back to the Huo family. Please put me down in front!"
Madam Huo turned a deaf ear to her, and immediately frightened Mrs. Hu San so much that she kowtowed profusely. "Madam, I'm keeping my mouth shut. I won't spread a single word about what happened at the Zhan Yi Marquis's mansion today. Please believe me, okay?"
Madam Huo frowned. "Look how scared you are! I didn't say what I would do to you. You just want some money, don't you? Can't I give it to you?"
Mrs. Hu San shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, old lady, I came to the Marquis' Mansion to act as a matchmaker for your Huo family. My husband knows this. If I go back late, he will be worried!"
Madam Huo spoke quickly, "What is he worried about? I'll send someone to tell him later that you can rest in our Huo family for a few days, and I'll give him your reward as well. I'm sure he'll be relieved!"
Mrs. Hu San burst into tears immediately. That bastard was obsessed with money. If he was bribed, how could he care about her life or death?
She knelt and crawled to Madam Huo's feet and begged, "Madam, please trust me. I will keep the Huo family's secret. Otherwise, you can take a needle and sew my mouth shut. Please spare my life!"
Seeing her crying with snot and tears, Mrs. Huo felt extremely disgusted.
She pulled back her legs and said, "I've been a vegetarian for a long time, so naturally I don't want to harm innocent lives. Madam Hu San, you must remember this: if any bad rumors spread about my Huo family, I will be the first to kill you!"
Mrs. Hu San sobbed, "Don't, it's not like I know about this myself. What if the Marquis' Mansion tells others?"
Madam Huo interrupted without hesitation: "Lin Yiwan won't do that. She has to consider her maid's reputation. As for the maids around me, they are all loyal and naturally keep their mouths shut. Only you are a variable. I can't rest assured!"
Mrs. Hu San asked in a trembling voice, "What should I do? I've sworn to you, and you still don't believe me?"
Madam Huo narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Of course I believe you, but I see you don't have anyone to serve you. How about taking my personal maid, Madam Xu, with you?"
Mrs. Hu San immediately understood that someone was going to be sent to monitor her.
However, this is better than silencing them directly!
As long as I can survive, what does it matter if I have an eye by my side?
After a moment of silence, she nodded without hesitation: "Thank you for the reward, old lady!"
At dusk, when Mrs. Hu San left the Huo family, she not only took Aunt Xu with her, but also received a lot of rewards.
After finally getting rid of the people, Mrs. Huo called Mrs. Du into the house.
She gritted her teeth and cursed, "Unfilial daughter, kneel down!"
Mrs. Du choked with grievance: "Mother, what's wrong with me?"
Madam Huo pointed at her nose and scolded, "How dare you ask? There are so many noble ladies in the capital, but you just can't take a fancy to them. Why do you set your sights on maid Lin Yiwan? You almost ruined the reputation of my entire Huo family. You really are a troublemaker!"
Mrs. Du argued, "Mother, don't I want to avenge my husband? If I let Youzhi marry Ling'er, won't she be under my control? I can then have her secretly poison Lin Yiwan and leave her dead without a burial place!"
Madam Huo's heart was heaving with anger. She gritted her teeth and retorted, "Foolish! You thought Lin Yiwan was too simple-minded. You thought you could deceive her with such a small trick? You almost ruined our Huo family with you!"
Mrs. Du bit her lip and stammered, "who can I blame for this? It's all because of Huo Ting. If he hadn't taken us to that dirty place, how could he have caught the dirty disease?"
