The Eldest Elder tapped his fingers gently with a knowing look on his face as he asked. “Will people find out we were behind this?”
“Why would this have anything to do with us?” asked Huo Qing rhetorically.
The Eldest Elder looked up slightly and stared into Huo Qing's eyes. A while later, he smiled ambiguously. “In that case, I'm sure there are other people out there more worried about Miss Huo's existence.”
Huo Qing naturally knew what Eldest Elder meant. But then he thought about Huo Wanying's recent performance and could not help feeling worried. He automatically said, “Eldest Elder, do you have a feeling something is wrong with Wanying recently? Why do I have a feeling this isn't her style?”
The Eldest Elder paused briefly. “What do you mean?”
Huo Qing paused and replied. “I can't say for sure. Don't you think she's unusually calm about the test?”
The old man waved his hand. “She's proud by nature. When people like them encounter failure, it's normal for them to feel defeated. I think it's completely normal.”
“Even then, I still think…”
Before Huo Qing was able to finish his sentence, the old man interrupted him.
“You're overthinking it. Huo Wanying has always been under our control, so she won't go against us. Even if she wants to betray us, let's not forget about the things Meryl has done. Is she going to put righteousness before family and report on her own mother?”
The Eldest Elder did not take Huo Qing's words to heart and simply felt he was being too suspicious.
Huo Wanying was nothing without the support of the elders. How could she betray them?
This was hilarious.
“Master Jinfeng's current state is unknown. We should use this golden opportunity to change all the people in the union to ours. Even if he's still alive, when he comes back, everything will already be a done deal. What could he do to us at that time?” Eldest Elder pursed his lips as he plotted.
The test to find a new heir was just a distraction. Their real objective was to change the people in the union.
Huo Qing glanced at him and dropped the subject. “We have Count Kerr's support.”
“Count Kerr now supports the Second Prince. Privately strengthening your ties to the count will only serve us well.” The Eldest Elder picked up the teacup and took a sip and responded mildly.
“I understand.” Huo Qing checked the time and got up. “I have to go back to the residence to see Meryl.”
The old man nodded. “Okay then. You can use her to send a message to Huo Wanying then.”
“Uh huh.”
Meanwhile, in Sangry Town
After the doctor was done stitching up Councilor Ding's injuries, he spoke to Xie briefly and left.
Xie walked the doctor out of the room and went back inside.
Councilor Ding had just woken up and his face looked very pale and weak from the loss of blood. “Who were they?”
Xie pulled up a chair and sat down by the bed. Councilor Ding was not alone. Till now, he remained oblivious about their identities. “… I didn't dare to ask.”
Huang Yin left in a hurry, so he did not have the time to ask either.
Councilor Ding held his belly as he slowly pushed himself up to lean against the headboard. He glanced at the door and looked at Xie before speaking softly. “Do you think this is just another wolf's den?”
Xie glanced at him. “You're overthinking it. Miss Huo sent those men.”
“Miss Huo?” Councilor Ding was astonished to hear this. “How did Miss Huo know these people then?”
