The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More

ement and said plainly, “It’s fine if you didn’t succeed.
We still have plenty of chances to find those herbs in the future.”

When Huo Xuan heard this, his lips twitched silently.
Why did he feel that Mo Zhu’s words didn’t seem to be comforting him, but instead carried a deep mocking tone?

After a moment, Mo Zhu fell silent for a long time before deciding to tell Huo Xuan the news she had obtained.
The Huo family had a place in Beijing after all, so they might have a better idea.

“Actually, I have also obtained some related news regarding the Gao family’s Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb.” Mo Zhu’s expression was dark and there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

Huo Xuan sat up a little and adjusted his clothes.
Then, he smiled at Mo Zhu and said, “There’s nothing to worry about with me.
Just say what you want to say.”

Mo Zhu nodded and said in a low voice, “Because this medicine is also useful for my grandmother’s illness, I’ve been asking people to inquire about it ever since I came to Cloud City.
Not long ago, my people told me that the Gao family has one and it might be auctioned publicly in a while.”

Huo Xuan lowered his head slightly, as if he was pondering over Mo Zhu’s words.
After a while, he replied with absolute certainty, “Based on my understanding of the Gao family, it’s impossible for the Gao family to really auction off the Pine Snow Herb.
There might be something that we outsiders aren’t aware of involved in this.”

Mo Zhu lowered her eyes and glanced at Huo Xuan in agreement.
Her thoughts coincided with Huo Xuan’s, but now that the arrow was already on the bow, she had no choice but to release it.
For her grandmother and for Feng Yu, she had no choice but to personally get involved in the Gao family’s messy situation.

Before Mo Zhu could respond, Huo Xuan seemed to have seen through her thoughts.
He held the girl’s hand tightly and said gently, “But don’t worry.
Since there’s news, it means that the medicine is still here.
When the auction starts, I’ll accompany you to the capital personally.
We’ll act according to the situation then.
Who knows, the Pine Snow Herb might end up in our hands.”

Huo Xuan’s relaxed tone instantly comforted Mo Zhu’s uneasy heart.
A warmth traveled from their interlocked hands into the girl’s heart.

“Alright.” Mo Zhu smiled and agreed immediately.

For the next few days, Mo Zhu rushed between the Huo residence and the hospital.
After Huo Xuan’s condition became better, Zhang Fen also quickly recovered under Mo Zhu’s meticulous care.

A week later, Huo Xuan’s wound had almost healed.
Under the doctor’s guidance, Xu Huan, Mo Wu, and the others transferred Huo Xuan to the Huo residence to nurse his health.

As for Mo Zhu, she had also resumed her usual routine of going to school.

Apart from monitoring Huo Xuan’s medication every day, everything else seemed the same.
