"As for the second possibility …" Huo Qing suddenly stopped twirling the pen in his hand and looked at the great elder sharply. "Master Feng's niece might indeed have something special about her."
When the Great Elder heard this, he immediately rejected the second possibility. "Do you think a person who was raised in someone else's home since he was young can have anything special?"
Even if she was raised in a wealthy family, how could she compare to someone like Huo Wanying who had gone through all kinds of training and experience?
"But no matter what, the heir cannot fall into the hands of Master Feng's family," the great elder added.
He did not need to worry about Huo Yao but Huo Yulin was different.
He would be Huo Wanying's strongest opponent.
Huo Qing naturally saw the great elder's concerns. His lips suddenly curved as he said, "A person with a weakness is easy to deal with."
The great elder recalled something from the past and smiled mysteriously. "That's true."
He had been too careful and neglected the other things.
"Find time to invite Wanying's mother, Merise, to have a meal together," Huo Qing suddenly said.
The great elder glanced at Huo Qing and roughly understood what he meant. He nodded. "Sure."
Although Merise's family was not a wealthy one, Huo Wanying had always been obedient to her.
Keeping Merise in their hands was equivalent to keeping Huo Wanying in check.

On the other side, Huo Yulin and Huo Changfeng returned to the main building.
"Uncle, why did you agree to the heir assessment today?" Huo Yulin looked at Uncle Changfeng in confusion.
Huo Changfeng was still holding the assessment criteria in his hand. His eyes narrowed before he said, "The heir selection will happen sooner or later. Even if it's rejected today, it will still be on the agenda another day."
"But Yaoyao …"
Huo Changfeng knew what he wanted to say. "Trust me. Your sister is capable of participating in this assessment."
After all, Huo Yanxi had saved Master Feng's life. She was the most qualified person in the Huo family.
Moreover, he had handed over most of the businesses in the capital to her since last year. Young Master Lin was not aware of Huo Yanxi's capabilities but Cheng Ming, who reported to him all the time, was the clearest.
Huo Yulin still did not agree with involving his sister but he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
The Huo family's current status was the result of his eldest uncle's life's work. He absolutely could not let his third uncle and the elders take it away.
Huo Changfeng raised his hand and patted Huo Yulin, who had been silent for a long time. He said solemnly, "Don't worry. Although Master Feng hasn't woken up yet, as long as I'm here, I won't let anything happen to Yaoyao."
Huo Yulin suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Uncle, I won't say anything else, but my parents … You know how much they dote on their daughter. I'm afraid you have to be mentally prepared."
Huo Changfeng, "…"
This was more troublesome than internal strife in the Huo family.
At this moment, the old housekeeper walked in from the outer hall. After nodding to the two of them, he hurriedly said, "Someone is looking for Eldest Miss outside."
Huo Yulin and Huo Changfeng looked at the old butler.
"Who is it?" Huo Changfeng asked.
"Someone from the royal family." The old butler replied respectfully, "He's waiting outside the door now. It looks like he has something urgent to talk to you about."
"Why are the imperial family looking for Eldest Young Mistress?" Huo Changfeng frowned.
The old butler shook his head to indicate that he did not know.
However, when Huo Yulin heard the mention of the imperial family, his face darkened. "I think they're here because of what happened at the Earl's residence a few days ago."
