Chapter 1376: 1376 New Clue

1376 New Clue

“Sigh! I didn’t expect that when this kid saw Huo Yuzhou, he couldn’t help but ask that question. Huo Yuzhou still hasn’t changed and refuses to say the reason. If he still can’t let go…”

Liang Pingchuan did not finish his sentence, but Qiao Xi could also understand that it was still difficult for Fourth Brother to accept it after so many years. Even after seeing Huo Yuzhou this time, the answer he received was the same as before. If Fourth Brother still could not let go and still had a trace of hope for Huo Yuzhou, thinking that he would admit his mistake and change, then Fourth Brother would be too stupid.

“Why is Huo Yuzhou in the Brook family?” Liang Pingchuan suddenly asked.

“The Brook family are nobles in Y Nation and has existed for more than a hundred years. I heard that the original head of the family suddenly disappeared, so he temporarily chose someone to replace him. Once this person ascends to a high position, it’s naturally impossible for him to come down.

“The internal affairs of a century-old noble family are really chaotic. Some people still refuse to give up and look for the original head of the family, while others want to assassinate that head of the family. It’s a good opportunity for Huo Yuzhou to come out and take power at this time, but it’s not without danger. I heard that he’s very valued by the current head of the family, so he managed to establish himself in the Brook family as an outsider.”

Hearing Liang Pingchuan’s words, Qiao Xi frowned and said softly, “Teacher, it’s better not to tell Fourth Brother about Huo Yuzhou. He’ll inevitably be affected.”

Liang Pingchuan looked at her and hesitated.

Little Six probably did not know yet. Xue Liang had already investigated everything related to the Brook family!

Liang Pingchuan had watched the few of them grow up and knew them very well. Xue Liang did not seem to care, but he came this time to give Huo Yuzhou a chance to turn over a new leaf. However…

He pondered for a moment and sighed. “Your fourth brother knows that the Brook family is making things difficult for you. He also knows that Huo Yuzhou is in the Brook family. That’s why he insisted on coming over.”

Actually, he just wanted to know if Huo Yuzhou had really changed. After all, how could he force Xi Xi to marry Tan Yu like that?

Qiao Xi returned to the hotel and looked at the report handed over by Ling Pavilion about what had been happening the past few days. Tan Yu and Madam Tan, who were originally clamoring to take revenge on Gu Zheng, suddenly stopped moving. They actually stayed at home obediently.

“Eldest Miss, we’ve investigated. Before Madam Tan went to Li City, she contacted an earl,” the shadow guard of Ling Pavilion reported.

“An earl?” Qiao Xi was slightly surprised. “Madam Tan knows such a person?”

A few hundred years ago, the people of C Nation also lived here. Hence, the culture and language of Y Nation were similar to that of C Nation. Some families’ surnames also continued the tradition of C Nation. For example, the surname of the Brook family was also Tan. As for the title of nobility, it was naturally not groundless. To be called an earl, one must have a noble status or have contributed to the country.

Qiao Xi suddenly raised her eyebrows. “Have you investigated this earl’s background?”

“Mr. Huo from the Brook family isn’t on good terms with this earl, but the Brook family has three factions. Madam Tan is from the weakest one. As for the earl…

“During the battle with the Brook family, the earl secretly supported Madam Tan, but he didn’t interact with her on the surface. However, the earl’s younger sister often met her.”

“Oh? There’s such a relationship?!” Qiao Xi smiled with interest.

“Miss Kang is from a noble family in Y Nation, so many people are trying to curry favor with her. However, I heard that her health isn’t good and she’s plagued by an old illness. She can only stay in seclusion and doesn’t attend banquets much. Even so, Miss Kang went out to see Madam Tan four times last month. Other than that, she hasn’t gone out again. It’s enough to show that she’s close to Madam Tan.”

Miss Kang? This surname sounded a little familiar.

Qiao Xi frowned. “Mhm, are there any other clues?”

“Um…” The shadow guard hesitated for a few seconds and added, “The Brook family’s internal relations are chaotic. Although Madam Tan is not as powerful as before, she’s still the madam of the direct line of descent. Moreover, the direct line of descent looks down on Mr. Huo Yuzhou, so Fourth Young Master asked me to tell you that Mr. Huo… couldn’t have instructed Madam Tan to work for him.”

Qiao Xi chuckled.

It was indeed as her teacher had said. Fourth Brother looked vicious on the surface and was obsessed with making poisons, but he was infinitely loyal. He came to Y Nation this time because he did not believe that Huo Yuzhou would attack her, so he personally came to take a look at the situation and even got the people from Ling Pavilion to secretly investigate this matter.

Fourth Brother was afraid that she would misunderstand Huo Yuzhou! However, now that their relationship was in a deadlock, it did not matter if she misunderstood him or not!
