Murano Momo is a cunning doctor

Chapter 1040 Let go of grudges

At the same time, the Huangfu family.

Huangfu Yuan walked with heavy steps towards Huangfu Jingzhai's study.

Finally arriving at the study door, he was about to knock when the door was suddenly pushed open from the inside and a figure walked out quickly.

When he saw Huangfu Yuan, the man looked calm, as if he had expected it. However, Huangfu Yuan was shocked.

You know, the inner house has always been heavily guarded, and ordinary people would never dare to enter without permission.

What's more, it was unbelievable that a stranger could come out of Huangfu Jingzhai's study so calmly in the dead of night.

"Master Yuan."

The man nodded slightly as a greeting, then hurried away, his back quickly disappearing around the dark corner.

"Yuan'er, come in."

Huangfu Yuan was still immersed in shock when he suddenly heard Huangfu Jingzhai's steady voice. He quickly sorted out his thoughts and stepped into the study.

In the study, Huangfu Jingzhai was leisurely brewing tea, looking quite relaxed.

"Come here and sit down."

Huangfu Jingzhai smiled and waved, with a rare gentleness in his tone.

Huangfu Yuan walked to the table and sat down. After hesitating for a while, he finally asked, "Father, that person just now..."

Stopping Huangfu Yuan from speaking, Huangfu Jingzhai stared intently at the bruise on his face and asked with concern, "Does the wound on your face hurt anymore?"

Huangfu Yuan felt a surge of humiliation in his heart and clenched his fists tightly, but he quickly suppressed his emotions and said calmly: "With Divine Doctor Ye here, there will be no problem."

Huangfu Jingzhai nodded slowly. "Even in seclusion, Divine Doctor Ye's medical skills are well-known. Your injury is nothing to worry about."

His voice sank as Huangfu Jingzhai continued, "Yuan'er, your brother is not doing his job well. Now that you are the heir to the family, you must prioritize the interests of the family. You must not act impulsively because of a momentary emotion."

"After these two slaps today, once the dust settles, your father will personally seek justice for you."

Huangfu Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Please rest assured, father. When the time comes, I will personally make them pay back tenfold or a hundredfold. But before that, I will not act rashly."

Huangfu Jingzhai nodded with satisfaction, poured a cup of tea for Huangfu Yuan himself, and said earnestly, "I called you here so late because I want to tell you something."

"Father, please speak."

Huangfu Yuan took the teacup and said respectfully.

"I want you to let go of the grudge with Jiang Xiaochuan."

Staring at Huangfu Yuan, Huangfu Jingzhai spoke word by word.

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap exploding in Huangfu Yuan's ears.

The teacup in his hand dropped uncontrollably with a clang and hit the ground. The scalding tea splashed like tears, soaking the surface of his shoes.

However, Huangfu Yuan was completely unaware that the hatred he had for Jiang Xiaochuan had already burned to the extreme like a raging fire due to the open and secret struggles during this period, almost to the point of being irreconcilable.

"Why, father?"

Huangfu Yuan's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"Don't you want to know who that person was?"

As if he had anticipated Huangfu Yuan's intense reaction, Huangfu Jingzhai picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea slowly, and answered the question irrelevantly.

"This man is Zhou Zong. I placed him in the Zhuge family ten years ago."

"After ten years of lurking and scheming, he has now become Zhuge Mingkong's confidant."

"what?"

Huangfu Yuan widened his eyes. He had always been in tit-for-tat with Zhuge Mingkong and knew him quite well, but he had never realized that Zhuge Jingzhai had placed such a secret chess piece next to him.

In his memory, ten years ago, the Zhuge family and the Huangfu family had a very close relationship and supported each other in big and small matters.

Unexpectedly, from then on, my father had quietly started this carefully planned plan.

"Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. As early as ten years ago, I saw that Zhuge Mingkong was no ordinary person. I arranged for Zhou Zong to go to the Zhuge family. My original intention was to leave a way out for you two brothers so that I could provide assistance at a critical moment."

"But unexpectedly... today he brought an unexpected news."

After hearing what Huangfu Jingzhai said, Huangfu Yuan subconsciously sat up straight, with a vague premonition in his heart.

What his father was going to say next was bound to be closely related to asking him to reconcile with Jiang Xiaochuan.

Huangfu Jingzhai continued, "According to Zhou Zong, this Jiang Xiaochuan is actually proficient in the art of alchemy."

"Although you don't understand the ways of cultivation, you should also know what it means for a family to have an alchemist, right?"

Huangfu Yuan was shocked. He certainly knew the importance of alchemists.

Especially for the Huangfu family, if they could have an alchemist, the family's strength would definitely increase significantly.

Now the Huangfu family is still in a weak position in the struggle with the Zhuge family. If they can have an alchemist to help, the elixirs they refine will be like a timely help to the family's warriors, and will surely greatly reverse the current decline.

But he really couldn't accept that Jiang Xiaochuan was an alchemist.

"According to the intelligence, this guy is just from a mountain village. I also heard that he is related to the Red Blood Cult... How could a rural kid like that be possible?"

Huangfu Yuan whispered.

"The story about the Red Blood Cult must be fake."

Huangfu Jingzhai said with a firm expression, "But there are indeed traces that he is an alchemist."

"I only learned this news this afternoon, and then I sent people to investigate, and indeed found some clues."

After hearing this, although Huangfu Yuan still found it hard to accept, based on his understanding of Huangfu Jingzhai, since he said so, he must have already investigated the matter thoroughly.

"Then why did Zhou Zong risk coming here tonight?"

Taking a deep breath, Huangfu Yuan finally asked.
