Transmigrating: I Married the Male Protagonist's Uncle

Chapter 802: The Yan Family (1)

“Go out and see if Eldest Sister-In-Law and the others are back. Let them know as well,” Huo Li’s eyes darkened. “If Sixth Brother keeps his word and behaves honestly, we won’t touch him. If he really dares to have such a plan, don’t blame us brothers and sisters-in-law for not showing him any mercy.”

A smug and sinister look flashed across Xiao Hui’s eyes. Humph, the Old Master did not keep his word and changed his mind. She would not let that little b*stard, who had snatched her Feifei’s bedroom, had an easy time.

Ling Sheng felt a chill run down her spine and even sneezed twice in a row. She rubbed her nose twice and sniffled, “Father, you’re scolding me in your heart again, right!”

Huo Ci shot her a cold look as though he was looking at a retard. Then, he said faintly, “Do you really think I’m as free as you?”

Ling Sheng was so scared that she shrank her body. While madly courting trouble, she tried to sound him out. “It’s the first day of the Lunar New Year. Speak nicely. Don’t be angry. Don’t get angry. It’s easy to harm your health if you get angry. I was just asking.”

Huo Ci’s expression was not great. Ever since he had come out of the house, his brows had been furrowed. He swept a look at the brat and said, “When we get home later, no matter what you do or eat, be more careful. Don’t touch everything like a fool. Be careful not to poison you to death.”

Ling Sheng shivered in fright. “Father, you’re just scaring me, right? Is it that serious? This is a law-abiding society! Why do you make it sound like a power struggle within a palace drama?”

She had finally seen how tense her father’s relationship with his other brothers and sisters-in-law at home was. She had only seen her Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt, and they had already put on a big show. She did not know how lively it would be when everyone was present.

Huo Ci let out a cold snort. “Use that bit of your smarts in your palace drama and deal with them properly. Don’t cause trouble on your own accord but don’t be afraid of trouble either. As long as you’re not in the wrong, even if you can’t beat or scold them, you still have me. Don’t pretend to be a coward.”

Ling Sheng giggled, “Father, are you supporting me?”

Huo Ci let out a snort but did not reply.

Ling Sheng hugged her son happily and played with him. When she lowered her eyes, her eyes were dark and her lips curled up in interest. Wasn’t this just a house fight? Come on, who was afraid of who!

Xiaoqi strongly insisted on visiting his Uncle Nao Nao’s house last so that he could have more time to play with him.

Huo Ci gave Ling Sheng a disdainful look. Where did this little smarty-pants come from? “Why don’t you just live in their house?”

Xiaoqi hugged Ling Sheng’s arm. “Xiaoqi wants to be with Mommy and Grandpa.”

Huo Ci let out a snort and got out of the car.

Ling Sheng brought Xiaoqi to make new year calls house to house with her father. Anyway, they were only close to a few families—the Yan, Rong, and Jiang.

As for the Lu Family, they were not familiar with each other and their relationship was not good either. Her Fifth Uncle was an illegitimate child who had become the head to begin with. The Lu Family looked fine on the surface, but they all wanted to kill him in secret. Unfortunately, they were all useless. They did not have the ability nor means to do so, so they could only be suppressed by him.

When Ling Sheng reached the Yan Family, she realized that there were really only two widows left in the Yan Family. Second Uncle, Yan Yuanfei’s mother and grandma; there was not even a child who could make them happy. It looked truly desolate.

Both the mother and daughter-in-law were Buddhists who were vegetarians all year round. Before the Lunar New Year, they had given all the servants at home a vacation as well. The huge house was cold and quiet.

It was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there was not even a hint of human vitality. It made one’s heart ache from seeing that.

Ling Sheng knew that the Yan Family had always been a big clan in China. Although her second uncle was the only direct descendant, there were still many people from the side branches.
