Chapter 1126: Chapter 1126: Wei Linchen and Fu Yuheng Are Invited into Huo Mansion

Huo Zhi learned that the third young master of the Fu Family had come uninvited and claimed to be an old acquaintance of the Madam. She subconsciously assumed that he might have had some purpose for his visit.

Moreover, she had been by the side of the Madam for so long, yet had never heard of Qin Ruan being acquainted with the third young master of the Fu Family.

However, this fake third young master, she did have the fortune to investigate last year, and thus knew indeed there was a third son of the Fu Family who did not get along with his family.

In order to prevent any mishaps, Huo Zhi decided to personally meet this third son of the Fu Family.

When she finally set eyes on Wei Linchen, she couldn’t help but frown. Wasn’t this her lady’s teacher, a friend from the Mysterious Studies World? How had he suddenly turned into the third young master of the Fu Family?

Wei Linchen of course recognized Huo Zhi. As soon as she appeared, he immediately sat up straight: "My beauty, long time no see."

Huo Zhi, still poker-faced despite being teased, approached Wei Linchen’s carriage. She saw the man dressed in blue Daoist robes sitting in the passenger seat—his silhouette vaguely recognizable as male, yet his face indiscernible.

Her gaze coolly rested on Wei Linchen, and she asked in a distant yet courteous tone, "Mr. Wei, what is this?"

Wei Linchen repeated to Huo Zhi the same story he had told the Hidden Guard: "Hi, I’ve come to seek an audience with the third lady of the Huo Family regarding an urgent matter. I admit, I was a bit rash to come over in the middle of the night.

The third young lady must have gone to sleep by now, and it will soon be dawn in a few hours. I’ll contact her once she’s awake, you needn’t worry about me."

He seemed to be aware that it was inappropriate to disturb someone in the middle of the night.

But Huo Zhi couldn’t possibly leave the man hanging outside.

This person was not only the Madam’s teacher but also a friend from the Mysterious Studies World. With these two relations in the mix, no matter how aloof Huo Zhi was, she ought to uphold the Huo Family’s duty of hospitality.

However, at this time, indeed, the Madam and the Family Head had gone to rest, but the second lord had just returned.

Huo Zhi slightly nodded towards Wei Linchen who was sitting in the car: "Mr. Wei, please wait for a moment."

She turned and left, taking out her mobile phone to contact Huo Chuan, who was with the second lord.

Upon answering the call, she directly asked, "Brother Chuan, has the second lord retired for the night?"

Huo Chuan’s exhausted voice replied, "Just brought back a few people. The second lord went to the Punishment Hall."

Hearing the words "Punishment Hall," Huo Zhi involuntarily shivered, slightly pursing her lips she said, "The third young master of the Fu Family has some business with the Madam. At this time, the Family Head has already retired for the night. Also, this person happens to be an old teacher and friend of the Madam. Would leaving him standing outside be too impolite?"

"Just wait, I’ll ask the second lord."

Late-night visits usually meant urgent business, and Huo Chuan, not knowing the details, could only seek instructions from the Family Head.

Soon, Huo Zhi heard Huo Yirong’s cold yet luxurious voice through the receiver: "Then bring him in. Take him to the guest area to settle down, and we’ll make arrangements once the third brother and Qin Ruan awake."

Huo Chuan responded affirmatively, speaking into the phone, "Did you hear that?"

"Um, I got it."

Having spoken, Huo Zhi hung up the call and gestured to the Hidden Guard standing at the gate: "Open the door."

She walked back to Wei Linchen’s vehicle, leaning in slightly: "Mr. Wei, the Madam has already retired and cannot meet with you at this time. Please come in and wait, arrangements have been made for you and this gentleman to rest."

Wei Linchen’s face broke into a radiant smile: "Thank you kindly for your trouble this late at night."

"You’re too kind." Huo Zhi’s face showed a courteous smile as her gaze once again turned to the man wearing Daoist robes in the passenger seat. Her tone was neither overbearing nor servile as she said, "May I know the identity of this gentleman? The identity of everyone who enters and leaves the Huo Mansion must be verified."

Having said as much, Wei Linchen naturally wouldn’t keep hiding anything.

He put his arm around Fu Yuheng’s neck, allowing Huo Zhi to clearly see his second brother’s face, his tone was very affectionate, "This is my second brother, my own flesh and blood!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhi’s pupils shifted slightly. To her knowledge, the second young master of the Fu Family had encountered a kidnapping many years earlier and the criminals had killed him on the spot.

Looking at the youth’s face, which bore some resemblance to Wei Linchen, Huo Zhi didn’t doubt the man’s identity.

However, this Second Master Fu appeared quite pale, even more unwell-looking than her family head when he was seriously ill, and those dark and seemingly bottomless eyes gave Huo Zhi a sense of discomfort.

She didn’t pry further but stepped aside, making a welcoming gesture to Wei Linchen.

Wei Linchen let go of his brother’s neck, uttered a word of thanks, and slowly drove the car into the Huo Mansion.

Huo Zhi personally led them to the guest area, which was next to the small building where Josh lived.

Because of the special relationship between Wei Linchen and Qin Ruan, Huo Zhi treated the Fu brothers quite well. While it couldn’t be said that she was attentive to every little detail, she still showed them great respect.

Huo Zhi had the servants bring fresh clothes and nighttime porridge, hastily prepared by the roused cook, and personally delivered them to Wei Linchen and Fu Yuheng before she took her leave.

Her important duty that night was to stay up in vigil for her master and Madam, so naturally, she couldn’t always be there, but before leaving, she made arrangements for the care of the Fu brothers.

After Huo Zhi left, Wei Linchen and Fu Yuheng sat in the living room, eating their steaming hot nighttime snack.

Or rather, it was Wei Linchen who was singularly enjoying the food; Fu Yuheng had long since left his mortal body and became a ghostly puppet, unable to derive pleasure from eating.

Watching his brother drink the porridge in big gulps, Fu Yuheng pushed the bowl of still-steaming porridge in front of Wei Linchen with his hand, "Eat some more."

Wei Linchen didn’t refuse, finishing his bowl of porridge and then picking up the one pushed in front of him by his brother. As he drank, he said unclearly, "I haven’t eaten tonight, and by my count, it’s already been eight or nine hours since I last ate. Tsk—my poor stomach temple.

Hadn’t it been for Huo Zhi’s thoughtfulness, by the time I noticed I was hungry, I probably would have had to go with an empty stomach. People around Qin Ruan really are capable."

Fu Yuheng smiled faintly, watching his younger brother drink porridge with warm eyes.

Wei Linchen ate quickly but not voraciously.

He finished the second bowl of porridge in just a few bites.

With a warm belly, Wei Linchen felt much more comfortable all over and relaxed into the couch.

Fu Yuheng, sitting opposite, watched him with a smile in his eyes, his face showing an undeniable affection.

Having not been looked at with such adoring eyes for many years, Wei Linchen felt somewhat uncomfortable.

His face flushed with embarrassment, he inadvertently turned his head away, examining the antique and elegant décor around him, and complained, "Second brother, don’t look at me like that; it’s too mushy. You make me feel like a little kid, getting goosebumps all over."

To prove he wasn’t lying, Wei Linchen gave his arm a shake.

Fu Yuheng laughed softly, his pale, paper-like face gentle and his tone containing a hint of indulgence, "Xiaojin, after all these years, the one who has changed the least is you. You seem cold but deep down you still have that untamed vitality from when you were little.

I can see that Father and Big Brother care a lot about you. Whatever happens, they are your family, and there is no need to be so distant."
