Chapter 359
"Your Highness, you must stand up for me!" The moment Huo Yunzhi entered Prince Lanhuai's manor, she cried and shouted at the same time.Behind her, Changsheng frowned deeply, thinking to himself, what kind of trouble is this damn woman trying to stir up again?
Could it be that she wants to complain about him to the Prince?
Changsheng could not help but curse in his heart: Stupid thing!
Does she really think the Prince values a dispensable, lowly concubine like her more?
Thinking of this, a mocking smile appeared on Changsheng's lips.
Beside him, Fangcao shrank her neck in fear.
This had nothing to do with her, and she certainly did not dare to offend Changsheng.
"Your lady has already gone to find the Prince, why aren't you hurrying to keep up?" Changsheng looked at Fangcao, who was still pretending to be a quail, and said displeasedly.
"I'm going, I'm going!" After Fangcao finished speaking, she quickly trotted in Huo Yunzhi's direction.
"Your Highness!"
When Huo Yunzhi entered the study, Prince Lanhuai was holding a concubine and was about to kiss her.
"Alright, alright, whatever the matter is, can't it wait until later? Can't you see I am busy?" Prince Lanhuai said with a look of impatience.
He thought to himself, if it weren't for the iron mine provided by the Huo family, how could he tolerate this rude and arrogant merchant's daughter?
However, nowadays, he always felt that the Huo family could not possibly have left behind just one small mine.
Their Huo family should still have other treasures.
It was also because of this that Prince Lanhuai held back from making a move against Huo Yunzhi.
"Your Highness, I was bullied to death by someone today!" Huo Yunzhi stepped forward, completely disregarding everything, and directly pulled the concubine away.
Although she looked down on this old man, it was absolutely impossible for him to be intimate with someone else right in front of her.
"Enough, who bullied you?" Prince Lanhuai's mood was ruined by Huo Yunzhi, so he waved his hand and told the concubine to step down first.
The concubine had finally gotten this opportunity, how could she be willing to leave just like this.
"Your Highness!" The concubine acted coquettishly, pulling Prince Lanhuai's hand, pouting her lips with a displeased look.
"Alright, I'll go to your place tonight." Prince Lanhuai patted the concubine's hand to comfort her.
"Then Your Highness must come tonight!" The concubine said coquettishly.
"Don't worry, when have I ever lied to you?" Prince Lanhuai said affirmatively.
"Then Your Highness, please go ahead with your business. I will go back and prepare." After the concubine finished speaking, she bowed and left. As she left, she glared fiercely at Huo Yunzhi. This damn merchant's daughter.
How dare she ruin her good deed?
Later, she would definitely make her pay.
"Alright, tell me, who gave you grievances?" Prince Lanhuai sat down, looking at Huo Yunzhi with displeasure. He had the posture that if she did not give him a reasonable explanation today, she would not need to speak to him here anymore.
"Your Highness, someone stole your things!" Huo Yunzhi gritted her teeth and said with a wronged expression.
After all, if she relied on her own abilities, she would definitely not be able to get those things back.
But if Prince An took action, it would definitely be different.
Right now, Huo Yunzhi only wanted to get the things back and reduce her losses.
"What things of mine?" Prince Lanhuai looked at Huo Yunzhi with confusion.
"It... it's the things my younger brother asked me to pass on to Your Highness," Huo Yunzhi said softly.
After saying this, she felt a bit panicked in her heart. After all, she wasn't sure if Prince Lanhuai would punish her once he found out about this matter.
"Yunxuan sent you a letter?" Prince Lanhuai looked at Huo Yunzhi suspiciously. It was unknown what he was thinking, but it made Huo Yunzhi feel a bit guilty.
Those things, her brother didn't tell her to give them in batches, he just didn't tell her to give them too quickly. It was her own selfishness.
"Yes!" Huo Yunzhi lowered her head. Since the Prince thought Yunxuan had sent her a letter, she would just pretend it was a letter from her brother.
And those things were brought by someone her brother sent.
"What did Yunxuan give you?" Prince Lanhuai stood up excitedly and asked.
After all, last time, Huo Yunzhi handed over an iron mine right away. He wondered what good things she would give him this time.
"Forgive me, Your Highness. My brother gave me some private silver and two land deeds, asking me to pass them on to Your Highness, but alas—" Speaking of this, Huo Yunzhi started crying softly again.
"Where are the land deeds? Where are they? Hurry up and take them out for me to see!" Prince Lanhuai said excitedly.
"Your Highness, the land deeds were snatched away by someone!" After Huo Yunzhi finished saying this, she sadly wiped her tears.
"What? Who is so bold as to dare snatch my things?" Hearing this, Prince Lanhuai stood up angrily.
When he thought about how those things were meant for him by Huo Yunxuan, but were now snatched away by someone!
"It's Miss Cheng. Your Highness, you must seek justice for me and snatch all those things back." Huo Yunzhi did not notice the strange expression on her Prince's face, nor how his mouth twitched slightly upon hearing it was Miss Cheng.
Was the Cheng family someone he could afford to provoke?
"What did you do to Miss Cheng?" Prince Lanhuai now glared coldly at Huo Yunzhi, his tone full of dissatisfaction.
If it were someone else, he might have believed it. But Miss Cheng? That was the Empress's maiden sister. How could she possibly scam that little bit of stuff from the Huo family?
What kind of things did the Cheng family lack?
To put it bluntly, among the jewelry Miss Cheng wore every day, there was bound to be at least one exquisite hairpin produced by the royal palace.
These were not things that could be bought with money.
Even though he desired that position, the Cheng family was still one of the targets he wanted to win over. It was just that the current Empress was a daughter of the Cheng family, so Prince Lanhuai did not dare to act rashly.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" Huo Yunzhi looked at Prince Lanhuai in horror. She didn't expect the Prince to know what she had done. Otherwise, why would he ask this?
Could it be that Changsheng had come in earlier to report on her?
Thinking of this, Huo Yunzhi lowered her head and kept quiet.
"Slut!" Prince Lanhuai angrily slapped Huo Yunzhi across the face.
"Ah!" Huo Yunzhi, completely unprepared, was slapped to the ground on the spot, her eyes full of terror.
How could the Prince hit her?
"Your Highness, today Secondary Consort Huo was at the Treasure Pavilion, gambling money with Second Miss Cheng." Changsheng hurried in and reported enthusiastically, not sparing a glance for Huo Yunzhi.
"What? Huo Yunzhi, you told me you were scammed by Second Miss Cheng, but the way I see it, it's clearly you who wanted to take advantage of others, but they didn't buy it!" After Prince Lanhuai finished saying this, he touched his chest. He held a sliver of hope in his heart that those things could definitely be retrieved.
"Your Highness, Changsheng is slandering me!" After thinking about it, Huo Yunzhi decided not to let Changsheng have an easy time.
"You still dare to falsely accuse others?" Prince Lanhuai looked at this woman, only treating her words as lies.
"My Lord, I have suffered grievances. As my husband, not only do you not seek justice for me, but you even let people block me at the manor's entrance?" Huo Yunzhi said with a face full of dissatisfaction.
