Chapter 130 - 130 He Really Agreed To Let Her Be His Concubine?!
130 He Really Agreed To Let Her Be His Concubine?!
Seeing that the Eldest Princess was really angry, Huo Zhao didn’t dare disobey her anymore.
At this point, he could only say, “Thank you for your help, Aunt.”
Yu Linlang looked at Huo Zhao in disbelief. Tears fell like broken beads.
He actually agreed to let her be his concubine?!
Didn’t he know how humiliating this was to her?!
Now that Huo Zhao had already admitted that Liu Xiang was his, and Shen Yaowei wasn’t at a disadvantage, the Eldest Princess didn’t want to pursue this matter anymore. She looked at Yu Linlang coldly and said, “We still have to hit the 100 strokes that we mentioned previously, lest you still don’t know how to follow the rules when you enter Prince Zhao’s Manor in the future. Men, pull her and Madma Song into the courtyard.”
Yu Linlang’s eyes widened. She subconsciously wanted to open her mouth to beg the Eldest Princess for mercy, but when she thought of Shen Yaowei, she shut her mouth.
She only glanced at Shen Yaowei with an extremely complicated gaze. Without waiting for the old woman to pull her back, Yu Linlang stood up from the ground and walked out.
“As for your matter, I’ll enter the palace today to personally explain it to the Emperor. When the time comes, I’ll see what the Emperor thinks of this matter.” The Eldest Princess looked at Huo Zhao coldly. “Alright, you can leave.”
Huo Zhao knew that after today’s matter, there was almost no turning back from the engagement. He lowered his eyes unwillingly and bowed to the Eldest Princess before turning to leave.
Looking at Huo Zhao’s back, the Eldest Princess sighed.
Then, as if she’d collapsed, she sank weakly into a chair.
Shen Yaowei looked at the Eldest Princess’s tired expression, and her eyes flickered.
Actually, she knew very well that the Eldest Princess wasn’t as heartless toward Huo Zhao as she seemed.
No matter what, Huo Zhao was her biological nephew.
However, the Eldest Princess had always had this temper. She hated evil and would help justice rather than family.
“Yaoyao, I’m going to the palace. Send someone to send you back to the residence first,” the Eldest Princess said to Shen Yaowei.
Shen Yaowei nodded obediently.
…
Soon, the commotion in the Eldest Princess’s residence spread throughout the entire capital and became the hottest topic.
Some teahouses even asked the storyteller to tell them about Yu Linlang and Huo Zhao tonight.
When Shen Liu’an, who was recuperating at the Shen residence, heard this news, he was naturally furious. He immediately ignored his discomfort and wanted to enter the palace to meet the Emperor and ask him to cancel the engagement.
After dinner, Shen Yaowei laid on the bed and leisurely flipped through the comics.
Nuan Ying entered the room and saw the young girl in a white sleeping suit. Her black hair was loosely tied by a red string to her shoulders, and her fair feet were raised, swaying dishonestly.
Thinking of the rumors she had heard not long ago, Nuan Ying sighed faintly and walked up to Shen Yaowei. “Miss, someone from the Shen family came just now, but they were sent away by the Guan family. Guests aren’t allowed to visit the residence at night. Please forgive me.”
Shen Yaowei knew that her father and brothers must have known about this, so they wanted to see her. “I’m going back tomorrow morning.”
Nuan Ying nodded. “I’ll wake you up early tomorrow.”
Shen Yaowei put down the sketchbook in her hand and looked at Nuan Ying with sparkling eyes. “Nuan Ying, do you think my Ninth Imperial Uncle will come tonight?”
“His Highness probably won’t come tonight, as he isn’t in the capital. I heard that a very powerful evil spirit appeared in the Oriole Village, 30 miles outside the capital. Now that General Shen is recuperating in the residence, the Emperor has sent His Highness to suppress the evil spirit,” Nuan Ying replied smoothly.
