The bejeweled pen in Huo Yunjiao's hand fell onto the office desk, lightly dragging across the precious and rare wood surface, producing a faint sound.
Huo Junxin looked down as the pen in Huo Yunjiao's hand drew an invisible line across the desk that separated them.
His heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding once again washed over him.
With an elegant and refined air, Huo Yunjiao spoke in a mild voice, "Big brother, Fuluo Country has been restless. Our sister-in-law is quite skilled in diplomacy. She hasn't had much room for advancement in recent years and needs to accumulate some honors to rise higher. Why not have her go to Fuluo Country to manage the aftermath?
The Long Family is, after all, one of the four great families. If she spends some time in Fuluo Country, the Long Family could also get a share of the spoils from this royal palace upheaval, killing two birds with one stone."
"No way!"
Without a second thought, Huo Junxin rejected the idea.
