The next few days were just like what the fox fairy said in her dream.
Although she could still see those ghosts, they couldn't get close to her. Some of them would even immediately avoid her when they saw her.
This made Huo Xiuxiu feel much more relaxed. Although she was still afraid, at least her life was not in danger for the time being.
However, there was still a problem in front of her, and that was her grandmother's attitude.
Although the Hunts were still doing business related to the tomb, they were not allowed to enter the tomb.
The main reason was that the Huo family could not take it anymore. None of the collateral relatives could help her up, and she was the only one left in the main family.
……
This matter had to start from when the old lady was young.
Back then, the Old Nine Clans of Sha City were all grave robbers. As the leader of the three lower Clans of the Old Nine Clans, the Huo Clan was naturally not weak.
However, a huge change not only caused the Huo family to suffer a great loss, but also caused the entire Nine Gates to suffer a heavy blow.
Someone had dug up the Old Nine Gates for personal gain and pushed them to the cusp of the storm, causing the higher-ups to begin purging the Old Nine Gates.
For a time, some of the older members of the Nine Gates were dead, some were injured, and in the end, the only survivor of the older generation was Old Madam Huo.
Old Mrs. Hunt had absolute authority in the Hunts. After that, she began grooming Huo Xiuxiu to be the new head of the Hunts.
Originally, the collateral relatives of the woman were very opposed, but with Mrs. Hunt here, no one dared to say anything.
In addition, Huo Xiuxiu had proven herself with her strength, so the people from the Collateral Branch kept their mouths shut.
Now that Huo Xiuxiu had suggested entering the tomb, she was putting herself in danger.
If anything happened to Huo Xiuxiu, the Huo family would be finished. Old Mrs. Huo knew very well what kind of people the Huo family's collateral relatives were.
If the Huo family fell into their hands, it would be ruined in a few years.
Therefore, Old Mrs. Huo did not want to give in, but Huo Xiuxiu's attitude seemed very firm.
……
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Huo family was very tense, and the servants did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Little Orange was considered one of the younger servants in the Huo family. Seeing that the atmosphere was very heavy, she did not dare to look around casually.
She carefully placed the tea in front of Mrs. Hunt.
Then, he bowed slightly to Old Madam Huo and Huo Xiuxiu before leaving the room.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she left the room, she was pulled to the corner and a few servants were gathered there.
Before she could react, she was stunned by a series of questions.
"Does the old lady look alright?"
"Did Miss quarrel with Old Madam?”
But before Little Orange could speak, someone retorted,""How is that possible? Miss is different from those people!"
Everyone knew who those people were talking about. It was none other than the blood-sucking bugs from the collateral family.
After being criticized, the person smiled awkwardly and said,"That's true. I was thinking too much!"
"But I saw that the butler's expression didn't look too good after he came back. Perhaps something happened.”
……
Initially, Little Orange felt that these people were very boring and was prepared to leave.
However, when he saw the butler on the other side of the corridor, his breathing stopped.
He hurriedly waved his hand slightly, indicating for them to stop talking.
However, these people did not notice her small movements at all and continued to mutter.
Seeing that the butler had stopped behind them, Little Orange immediately shrank its neck and closed its eyes. It did not dare to watch the next scene.
"Are you guys very free?"
The sudden female voice made the aunties who were still imagining things instantly feel as if their throats were choked, and they fell silent.
Resigned to her fate, she slowly turned around and saw the butler standing behind them with a serious expression.
The housekeeper was an old member of the Hunts and had always been by Old Madam Hunt's side. Needless to say, she was very dignified.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Little Orange quickly put on an obedient smile and said to the butler,"I'll go and see if the food is ready in the kitchen. Butler, you're busy.”
The housekeeper didn't argue with her. She knew what kind of character Xiao Ju had. The key to discipline was these guys.
Little Orange ran away without feeling guilty at all. As the saying goes, if a friend dies, a poor friend dies!
Moreover, the matters of the master's family were not something that servants like them could discuss!
Even if the butler did not appear, she did not intend to say anything.
……
After a long silence, Huo Xiuxiu showed no signs of giving up.
"Forget it. Since you've already made up your mind, I'm afraid it's useless for me to object.”
When she said this, she felt that Mrs. Hunt seemed to have aged a lot.
Huo Xiuxiu wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by Old Mrs. Huo.
"But there's one thing you have to know. You're carrying the entire Hunts on your back."”
"If you're in any danger, I'm sure you know what will happen to the Huo family after I die.”
Mrs. Hunt's usually determined face now had a hint of fatigue.
Huo Xiuxiu nodded and slowly walked behind the old lady. She massaged her shoulders and said,""Grandma, I know all this."
"I promise I won't put myself in danger!”
"You still won't tell me why you have to go to the tomb?" Mrs. Hunt asked.”
Huo Xiuxiu was about to say something when she was interrupted by Old Mrs. Huo.
"I don't believe that you promised 40% just for the old fox of the Wu family.”
Huo Xiuxiu fell silent and did not explain anything.
……
That's right!
Huo Xiuxiu did not tell Old Madam Huo that she could see ghosts.
After all, Mrs. Hunt was already old, and she was worried that it would agitate her.
Therefore, she decided to hide the real reason why she went to the tomb first. She had also explained it to the butler.
Huo Xiuxiu planned to tell Old Madam Huo the truth after she settled the matter.
