When they returned to Cen Garden, Ruan Peiting had already left with the attendants who had come to clean up.
Huo Cen did not eat breakfast either. Once he returned to the courtyard, he hurriedly picked up a call and left the old mansion with her.
He didn't even have the time to greet Old Master Huo and the other elders before he left. He directly instructed the servants in the courtyard and left with Song Yunshu.
In the front yard.
Old Master Huo heard from Butler Lin that when Huo Cen left, he almost burned his mouth with the pipe in his hand.
He hurriedly put down his pipe and said, "Didn't I tell him to have lunch before going back? Why did he leave without even telling me? You didn't stop him."
Old Master Huo was so angry that he blew his beard and stared in anger.
He used to think that his grandson would be able to have a stable career and life after he got married.
However, who would have thought that even after getting married, Huo Cen still had no regard for rules and just did as he pleased.
He left without any manners.
He didn't know whether Huo Cen still had any respect for him as an elder.
"This, Old Master, you also know the Eldest Young Master's temper. It's not something we can stop. Moreover, before the Eldest Young Master left, he sent someone to pass a message saying that there was someone in this courtyard who made Young Mistress unhappy. In the future, other than the necessary festivals and matters, they will come back less often."
"This..." When Old Master Huo heard this, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He looked at his old friend in front of him with uncertainty and frowned.
"Unpleasant person?"
"Yes, that's what the eldest young master said."
Old Master Huo frowned.
His slightly turbid eyes swept past Butler Lin's body and finally stopped at the flower bed outside the courtyard.
"Who went to the Cen Garden this morning?"
"There's no one here."
As soon as Butler Lin finished speaking, he met Old Master Huo's cold gaze. "Please wait a moment. I'll get someone to ask immediately."
A moment later, Butler Lin rushed in from outside.
"Old Master, I got it."
At that time, Old Master Huo was sitting cross-legged on the armchair with his eyes closed and meditating.
Even when he heard Butler Lin's hurried voice, he was not flustered. He did not even open his eyes.
"You're already at such an old age. Why are you still so irritable? Calm down and speak slowly."
Butler Lin took a couple of deep breaths and waved his hand to signal for the person standing outside the house to come in.
"This morning, Ruan Peiting brought some servants over to do the cleaning. According to this servant's confession, she saw and heard Ruan Peiting and Young Mistress say some unpleasant things. The specific contents, let her repeat them to you again."
After Butler Lin called her in, he asked her to repeat what she had previously told him, word for word to Old Master Huo.
The old man had his eyes closed the entire time, but Butler Lin, who had been with him for many years, could clearly feel the faint anger that he was emitting.
After the servant told him everything that happened this morning, Butler Lin waved at her, indicating that she could leave first.
After the servant left the front hall, Butler Lin looked at Old Master Huo again."Do you need me to call Ruan Peiting over for this?"
Old Master Huo opened his eyes and put down his legs. "There's no rush. Let's see what this girl wants to do first. As for Huo Cen and his new wife, let's not worry about them for now. Huo Cen has his own ideas, so we don't have to worry too much. How's the second branch doing recently?"
"Everything is fine. Don't worry."
"Okay."
"Pass down the instructions. There are many people in the family. It's time to clean up and send away those who don't obey orders. The Huo family can't keep anyone who gossips behind their master's back."
Hearing this, Butler Lin smiled and nodded, replying, "Yes."
