Chapter 274 Surprise or Not (9)

The elderly lady spoke unhurriedly, uttering a plethora of pleasantries.

But none of it cut to the heart of the matter.

As each individual began, they all listened silently, then pondered whether this announcement would be in their favor.

Huo Rongxing and his son were thinking that the old lady couldn't possibly directly announce Tian'ao as the heir; this cunning old woman surely had something intricate up her sleeve, likely related to the unborn child of Shi Yimeng.

If that were the case, it would also be to their advantage since that child was fake, not truly Tingzhou's child at all. But that didn't matter; as long as the Old Madam Huo believed it, it would suffice.

What the Jiang Family pondered was whether she would announce the approval of Tian'ao's marriage feast with Jiang Hua'ai, the matter of Tingzhou's child, or directly appoint Tian'ao as the Huo Family's successor.

Whichever she announced, it wouldn't matter; for the Jiang Family, it would all be a win.
