The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More

A few seconds later, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Chen Man rushed in with a worried expression. When she saw Huo Xuan lying on the bed with a pale face, she quickly walked over to the man and grabbed Huo Xuan’s hand.

“My son! Why are you so badly injured? How do you feel now? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Chen Man’s tone was filled with deep worry. She was also about to leave for Beijing today and wanted to greet her son and daughter-in-law. She did not expect that after giving Uncle Zhang a call, she would find out that such a thing had happened last night!

When Huo Xuan heard this, he gave Xu Huan a cold glare. This time, Xu Huan was shocked. He spread his arms helplessly behind Chen Man and mouthed three words silently, “It wasn’t me…”

Huo Xuan silently rolled his eyes at Xu Huan. He patted Chen Man’s hand comfortingly and explained with a calm expression, “Mom, it’s actually nothing serious. It’s just a small cut and a little blood flowed out. I’ll be back to normal in a few days after having some good food and drinks.”

Although Huo Xuan was telling the truth, Chen Man was still extremely worried. This little injury might not be too harmful to the others, but with the powerful poison lurking in Huo Xuan’s body, any danger could very well be fatal. How could Chen Man not be worried?

“Where’s the doctor? Have you checked with the doctor? What did he say?” Chen Man frowned and grabbed Huo Xuan’s hand forcefully.

“Mo Zhu helped me examine my injuries last night. Are you still worried about me with the superb medical skills Mo Zhu has? She already said that I’m fine, so there definitely won’t be any problems after that!”

Chen Man heaved a sigh of relief. She didn’t trust the medical skills of others, but Mo Zhu was a divine doctor who could control the poison in Huo Xuan’s body. If she really said that, her son’s condition should have stabilized.

After relaxing a little, Chen Man sat in the corner of Huo Xuan’s bed and earnestly reminded the patient about his safety. Then, she looked around and asked curiously, “Why isn’t my daughter-in-law here?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Huan took the initiative to step forward and answer, “Auntie Chen, Mo Zhu stayed by Brother Huo’s side the entire night. She went back to the Huo family to pack some change of clothes in the morning. She should be back soon.”

Chen Man nodded in understanding. She glanced at Xu Huan indifferently and said, “Xiao Huan is also a good child. It’s been hard on you for the past two days. Auntie is watching over Huo Xuan. You should go back and rest.”

Xu Huan was about to leave, but seeing that Chen Man had taken the initiative to ask, he nodded and turned to look at Huo Xuan. Xu Huan said, “I’ll be leaving first then. Call me if you need anything.”

After saying this, Xu Huan did not stay any longer. He opened the door and walked out.

However, just as he reached the elevator, he bumped into Matriarch Fang and Qin Ya. Behind them was Fang Ran, who was dressed beautifully.

Seeing that Xu Huan was waiting for the elevator at the entrance, Matriarch Fang immediately recognized him. Previously, they had met at Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu’s engagement banquet. She cleared her throat and turned her body to block the man’s path, preventing him from entering the elevator.

“Young Master Xu must have come to the hospital early in the morning to visit my grandson-in-law. Is it convenient to inform us of the ward number?”

Xu Huan glared at Matriarch Fang coldly and replied in an unfriendly tone, “I’m sorry, it’s not very convenient. Matriarch, please don’t block my way.”

Xu Huan’s disdainful look really angered Matriarch Fang. She was about to flare up when Qin Ya, who was following closely behind, suddenly tugged at her sleeve. “Mom, we can’t afford to offend Young Master Xu. Bear with it for the time being. We can find Young Master Huo’s ward after asking the nurses.”

After thinking about it carefully, she felt that her daughter-in-law had a point. Matriarch Fang snorted and moved to the side to make way for Xu Huan.

The three of them watched Xu Huan enter the elevator and then went straight to the nurse’s station to ask for Huo Xuan’s ward number. Not long later, they knocked on Huo Xuan’s ward door.

“Mo Zhu must be back!” Chen Man heard knocking on the door. Considering that Mo Zhu had probably returned from the Huo Family, she happily stood up and walked quickly to open the door.

When her gaze met Matriarch Fang’s face outside the door, Chen Man’s expression instantly turned cold.

She had heard a little about the Fang family’s Matriarch when she was investigating Mo Zhu. She had the same character as Qin Ya in all aspects. Indeed, people from the same family have the same character. In Chen Man’s opinion, other than Mo Zhu who came from Qingyuan Village, the entire Fang family had no good people.

“This must be Mrs. Huo. I’m Mo Zhu’s grandmother. I heard that Young Master Huo is sick, so I specially instructed Xiao Ran to prepare gifts for our visit.” When Matriarch Fang saw that it was Chen Man who opened the door, she gave a fawning smile.

Chen Man glanced at the three of them expressionlessly and said coldly, “Matriarch Fang, you’re so considerate. However, why do I remember that my Mo Zhu only has a grandmother named Zhang Fen? If I’m not wrong, she’s also staying in this hospital now. You’re getting old, and your memory isn’t too good.”

Matriarch Fang instantly lost face when she heard Chen Man’s sarcastic words. In order to hide her embarrassment, she could only smile awkwardly.
