Su Linhuan bowed her head, and as Mr. Huo (senior) was in a rage, none of the servants dared to speak, not even Madam Huo was spared from fear.
No one made a sound, and Su Linhuan simply endured it in silence.
It was her own fault for falling in love with Huo Zhendong, wasn't it?
Seeing Mr. Huo (senior) so enraged, Mrs. Pei said, "Brother, this is Lin Huan's fault. When we return home, I'll discipline her. Don't be angry and harm your health over this."
Mr. Huo (senior) turned to look at Mrs. Pei, saying, "I know you're lonely and that's why I let you keep her by your side and never criticized you for it. But now, seeing her behavior, you'd better stay away from her. Otherwise, she might cause trouble someday and drag you down with her."
Mrs. Pei's husband was a soldier who had died in the line of duty, which gave her a unique status. Mr. Huo (senior) also took good care of her, hardly ever spoke harshly to her, and was quite doting.
