Chapter 664 Huo Yuan (4)_1
Huo Yuan said, "Auntie, before this matter is resolved, you and your family shall temporarily reside here. Please, make yourselves at home, and if there are any inconveniences, feel free to discuss them with the housekeeper, Mr. Qian!"
Having said this, he glanced at the people kneeling and continued with a polished, yet authoritative tone: "If any servant dares to disrespect Auntie’s family while you reside in the manor, they shall not go unpunished!"
Huo Yuan was generally lenient with his servants and rarely spoke in such a severe tone, thus, after his command, they all responded loudly: "We will follow the young master’s instructions and ensure we respect Madam and her family."
Seeing everyone still kneeling, Lady Du hurriedly said: "Please, everyone, get up. There’s no need for such fuss. We have a manor near the royal hunting ground, we could stay there."
Zhao Yun whispered, "Madam, our dessert shop and cloth store have been sealed by the government. I’m afraid the manor will not escape the same fate..."
Lady Du disagreed, "Although they sealed our dessert shop and cloth store, they didn’t seal our Bafu Winery, did they? To take action against a winery within their sight is unlikely. The manor, despite being tens of miles away, will be no different."
Huo Yuan knew full well that the Bafu Winery was spared because it had initially been given to the Mu Family by the State Duke An’s mansion. The Duke’s mansion may be greedy and shameless, but they would not have the audacity to seize the properties of the Huo Family!
In terms of the other properties of the Mu Family, the Duke’s mansion had likely had their eyes on them for a long time. How could they resist the tempting value of a manor?
