Murano Momo is a cunning doctor

Chapter 1295 Going to the Situ Family

"sure?"

Jiang Xiaochuan raised his eyebrows.

The Huangfu family kept their gates tightly shut mainly to guard against the Situ and Huangfu families. The fact that they dared to open the gates now means that the problem has been solved.

He had initially thought that the Huangfu family would be in chaos for a while.

It seems that this beautiful wish has not come true.

"It's true."

Du Hai laid out the photos in a row and pointed to the figures in them, saying, "As soon as these people left, the Huangfu family's gate opened."

"However, these people are acting mysteriously, all dressed in black robes to cover their faces. Our people didn't get a clear picture of their faces, so confirming their identities won't be that easy..."

Jiang Xiaochuan looked down at the photo and saw three figures in black.

Although it was only a back view, he recognized at a glance that the gaunt figure to the right of the tall man in the middle was Yin Changsheng, the man he was fighting to the death with.

Needless to say, the person in the middle must be Tang Jie.

The slightly plump figure to his left was none other than the woman who was standing next to Tang Jie.

Tang Jie actually took action himself?

Jiang Xiaochuan was shocked and felt it was unbelievable.

Moreover, the Huangfu family returned to normal as soon as Tang Jie left, which is very abnormal.

He immediately asked, "How long have they been inside?"

"They went in at dawn and didn't come out until seven in the morning."

Du Hai explained, "It's as if the Huangfu family knew they were coming all along, and they opened their doors early to wait for them."

Jiang Xiaochuan fell silent, feeling that things weren't so simple.

Although he had only met Tang Jie once, he was certain that this man was a ruthless character who would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Since they've come in person, it can't be just a formality.

His intuition told him that there was something fishy going on here.

The fact that two conflicting forces met without any clashes made Jiang Xiaochuan feel uneasy.

"What about the Situ family? Have they been making any moves lately?"

Jiang Xiaochuan changed the subject and asked.

"Nothing unusual happened."

Du Hai rubbed his chin, looking puzzled. "Logically speaking, if the Huangfu family has made a move, the Situ family should also make some kind of response."

"But now, let alone taking the initiative, even the head of the Situ family is staying at home and there's not a sound from him."

Jiang Xiaochuan fell silent again.

Since we can't figure out the tricks between the Huangfu family and the Crimson Blood Sect for the time being, we might as well put it aside for now.

Previously, Situ Zhen had visited him several times, asking him to treat the Situ family patriarch, but he had refused each time.

The relationship between the Huangfu family and the Crimson Blood Cult is currently unclear, so this is a good opportunity to use it as a pretext to sound out the Situ family.

Perhaps we can find a breakthrough from this.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaochuan stood up: "In that case, I will go to the Situ family myself."

"Boss, are you going in person?"

Du Hai hesitated for a moment, then asked worriedly, "Should we bring a few of our men with us?"

"Need not."

Jiang Xiaochuan waved his hand, "I'll have Old Feng go with us. Too many people will just draw more attention."

.......

Meanwhile, deep within the Situ family mansion.

The study was dimly lit, and Situ Zhen sat alone behind a large rosewood desk.

His usual refined demeanor was completely gone; his eyes were fixed on a certain direction, and he looked preoccupied.

"Don't worry, Master. It's just drawing some blood. Young Master is young and strong. With the help of my secret medicine, he will recover his vitality in a month or so. It will not affect his lifespan at all."

Beside him, in the dim light, Mr. Ghost slowly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Situ Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, a fierce glint flashing within them.

Then, as if resigned to his fate, he let out a long sigh, nodded slightly, and said:

"Thanks to your advice, sir, otherwise my Situ family would never have come up with such an idea."

"You flatter me, Master."

Mr. Ghost's eyes twitched slightly, but his voice showed little emotion.

"It is because the young master's bloodline is compatible with that of Ancestor Qingcang and his aura is yin that he was able to give it a try. I, Gui, have only contributed my meager strength."

Just then, three cautious knocks came from outside the door, breaking the heavy silence in the study.

Situ Zhen quickly adjusted his breathing, forcibly suppressing all the intense emotions on his face, and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man who looked like a butler walked in, bowed, and said, "Master, there is a young man outside who calls himself Jiang Xiaochuan and wants to see you."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this name, the gloom on Situ Zhen's face vanished instantly, replaced by ecstatic joy. He eagerly exclaimed, "Let him in quickly!"

Just as the butler was about to leave, Situ Zhen stopped him again and asked in a deep voice, "Were you rude to him?"

"No."

The butler quickly replied.

In the past, those who visited without a formal invitation would naturally be firmly refused.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiaochuan now has a certain reputation and influence in the capital, so the steward did not generalize and came to report as soon as he received the news.

"well."

Situ Zhen nodded repeatedly, "Quickly invite them over."

"Sir, please move aside for a moment, I'll handle things here."

As soon as the butler left, Situ Zhen spoke to Mr. Ghost.

"it is good."

Mr. Ghost nodded knowingly, then got up and left.

He understood why Situ Zhen wanted him to leave, after all, he had a past conflict with Jiang Xiaochuan.

Moreover, he himself couldn't wait to leave; this kid exuded an inexplicable sinister aura...

Soon, a series of unhurried footsteps approached from afar and stopped outside the study door.

Situ Zhen took a deep breath, unable to hold back any longer, and flung open the door.

Outside the door, as expected, stood Jiang Xiaochuan and Feng Ji.

"Xiao Chuan! Mr. Feng! You've finally arrived!"

Situ Zhen's face instantly lit up with a smile. He rushed forward and grabbed Jiang Xiaochuan's hands tightly, as if he had grasped a lifeline.

"Quickly, someone bring me my treasured Cloud Mist Spirit Brush!"

As Situ Zhen ushered the two into the study, he said with a smile, "Xiao Chuan, Elder Feng, you must try this tea. It's made from the new buds that were just harvested this year; it's a rare and precious tea!"

"Patriarch Situ, you're too kind."

Jiang Xiaochuan let him pull him along, his gaze quickly sweeping across Situ Zhen's face.

This once elegant patriarch now had puffy eyes and a haggard face, looking more than ten years older than when we last met.

It seems that the Situ family's decision not to immediately retaliate against the Huangfu family's unusual actions was not out of restraint or retreat.

Rather, there was a more pressing reason that left the head of the family overwhelmed and unable to attend to anything else.

Since Situ Zhen didn't explicitly ask about his purpose, Jiang Xiaochuan was happy not to point it out and was led to sit down at the tea table by the window.

"Xiaochuan, Mr. Feng, try it quickly."

Situ Zhen personally held the teapot and poured tea for the two of them.

However, his hand holding the teapot trembled slightly, and a few drops of clear tea spilled onto the rosewood tea tray.

Jiang Xiaochuan saw this and secretly shook his head.
