The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More Chapter 153 - It’s The Heart-Devouring Poison Again

Chapter 153: It’s The Heart-Devouring Poison Again

Everyone was discussing in a panic. Mo Jiu stood up and came to Huo Xuan’s side. He leaned close to Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu and added, “Master Huo, the poison in the old man is the same as the poison you were poisoned with previously.”
“What did you say!” Huo Xuan’s eyes darkened when he heard this. He didn’t expect his grandfather to be poisoned by the Heart-Devouring Poison as well. It seemed like this matter wasn’t as simple as he had thought.
Not only did Huo Xuan think this way, even Mo Zhu’s pupils constricted when she heard Mo Jiu’s words. Previously, when she looked at Old Master Huo’s expression, she could vaguely tell that this was a sign of poison. She didn’t expect the Heart-Devouring Poison to appear again.
“The same poison as what Xuan’er was poisoned with? What should we do then? Previously, Xuan’er’s poison was really aggressive. Even someone as young and strong as him was seriously affected by it. The old master is already so old. If he’s not careful, wouldn’t it be…”
The person who spoke was Huo Qing. She was originally standing closest to the soft couch. When Mo Jiu approached Huo Xuan, she had also turned her body to listen. Now that she knew the truth, she was already frightened.!!
“If anything happens to Old Master, what will happen to the Huo Family in Beijing?”
Huo Qing’s worry was not without reason. Although the Huo family in Beijing had a deep foundation built by the older generation, ever since Old Master Huo retired, the Huo family’s business was getting worse under Huo Peng’s management.
The family that Huo Qing had married into was one of the most prestigious families in the city. If the old master fell ill, her life in her in-laws wouldn’t be good. Besides, this not only concerned the wealth of the Huo family’s descendants, but if the Huo family was swallowed up by someone who was eyeing them covetously, it would affect the reputation of her ancestors.
After hearing Huo Qing’s words, the main hall became even more chaotic. Seeing that Mo Jiu had already diagnosed Old Master Huo’s poison, Huo Lian, who was standing at the door, took a step forward and said, “Xuan’er, since Old Master is poisoned with the same poison as you, quickly think of a way to solve it!”
When Huo Xuan heard this, he raised his head and looked coldly at his sixth aunt, who harbored ill intentions. He didn’t say a word or move forward.
Huo Lian didn’t notice Huo Xuan’s abnormal behavior. She took another two steps forward with an anxious expression and rushed the man. “Xuan’er, I heard that your illness was cured by a divine doctor. Quickly send someone to bring that divine doctor over to take a look for the old man. He might even be cured by the doctor!”
Realizing the meaning behind Huo Lian’s words, Huo Xuan smiled coldly and turned around, ignoring Huo Lian.
At this moment, Mo Jiu, who was standing at the side, took a step forward and said, “I was the one who cured Master Huo’s poison. I checked his pulse just now. The situation of the old man’s organs is inferior to that of a young man’s. I’m not confident that I can save him.”
When Huo Lian heard this, her expression turned cold. She looked at Mo Jiu in disdain and said, “You? Don’t think that I don’t know how capable you are. How could you have cured Xuan’er’s illness? I won’t believe it even if you kill me!”
After a pause, Huo Lian turned around and suddenly tugged at Huo Xuan’s sleeve. She said anxiously, “Xuan’er, this poison is so powerful. You can’t hesitate any longer. Quickly invite the divine doctor to cure the old master’s poison. If you’re any later, the old master’s life will be in danger!”
Huo Xuan was amused by the woman’s words. He turned his body and shook Huo Lian’s hand away. He replied in a deep voice, “Mo Jiu was the one who cured my poison. It doesn’t matter if you believe me or not. It’s not that I’m not doing my best. Didn’t you hear Mo Jiu say that he wasn’t confident just now?”
Huo Lian didn’t believe that Mo Jiu was the one who cured Huo Xuan’s poison. “That’s impossible, Xuan’er. I know that you are angry with all the aunts and said that on purpose. Let’s invite the divine doctor over to take a look at the old master’s body first. When the old master recovers, we will definitely apologize to you personally.”
