Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2428: Chapter 2425: The Huo Family Is Courting Death

“It’s just that now the one causing trouble isn’t me, the young master, but Doctor Lu.” Zhao Xinming acted like he was trying to enrage Lu Sangqi.

Who knew Lu Sangqi realized his intention right from the start, naturally didn’t act rashly, making it hard for him to achieve his goal.

Lu Sangqi sneered, “Young Master Zhao doesn’t need to sling mud like this. You’ve taken a fancy to Huo Man, so be it.”

Zhao Xin immediately realized something was amiss.

Before he could speak.

Steward Huo sternly spoke up, “Doctor Lu, please mind your status. My Miss Huo isn’t someone you can discuss at will. Could it be you look down on the Huo family, deliberately seeking trouble?”

“If that’s indeed the case, I’ll report to the authorities right now. Miss Huo’s reputation is spotless, being favored by you is truly the worst luck of eight lifetimes.”

“What did you say?” Zhao Xin’s face instantly darkened, he laughed angrily, “I’m unworthy of a Miss Huo?”

“Seems like the Huo family looks down on me, yet I insist on marrying a daughter of the Huo family!”

Steward Huo never thought he accidentally revealed his true feelings, provoking Zhao Xin, who is known not to be a good person.

As the other party stirred up trouble, about to cause a commotion, he was furious, feeling like his head was buzzing, wishing he could just toss Zhao Xin in a sack.

Steward Huo could only bring the guards to stop Zhao Xin from causing a scene.

Meanwhile, no one paid any attention to Lu Sangqi over here.

Lu Sangqi took advantage of this opportunity to have someone from the Huo Residence inform Second Lady Huo, that he wanted to meet her alone.

When Second Lady Huo learned the news and heard what Zhao Xin said, she nearly fainted with rage.

“Quickly send someone to drive Zhao Xin away for me, ensure there’s no connection with him whatsoever!”

“Madam, should we meet with that Doctor Lu? He claims he can resolve the Huo family’s predicament.” A servant asked quietly, head bowed.

Second Lady Huo was also eager to chew out Lu Sangqi, yet reluctant to meet him. But the threat in his words, and the fact that today’s entire situation was caused by him made her wonder about the impact on her daughter Man’s reputation. Despite her anger, she said, “Go, bring him to the guest room.”

Lu Sangqi waited in the guest room.

He waited for about an hour.

Before Second Lady Huo finally arrived, much belated.

Second Lady Huo had a sour expression, her attitude towards him equally poor, speaking cynically: “The world knows the Lu family has practiced medicine for generations, a noble family in medicine. Now it seems, it’s no different from inferior people, doing things that ruin others’ reputations. I wonder if Physician-in-Chief Lu would regret having such an indiscreet junior in the Lu family.”

Lu Sangqi remained unfazed: “Second Lady’s words are wrongly accusing me. It’s Zhao Xin causing trouble, not related to me, Lu Sangqi.”

“Besides, the one I wish to marry is Huo Ning, not Huo Man. Even if outsiders hear of this, they won’t think there’s any connection between me and Young Master Zhao. It’s Young Master Zhao who damaged Miss Huo’s reputation. If Second Lady is dissatisfied, you can trouble the Zhao family instead of wrongfully accusing me.”

“Ridiculous, don’t speak nonsense. If you hadn’t intentionally mentioned my Man’s name, how would he spread lies at the door?” Second Lady Huo was furious, her fingers digging fiercely into her palm.

Lu Sangqi sarcastically smiled, “If it weren’t for Second Lady Huo being clueless, allowing Zhao Xin to come.
