Chapter 696

"What rumor?"

Huo Zhao had heard about the recent frequent changes in the imperial court, but he hadn't really paid attention to the news on the streets.

Seeing this, Fang Muning said, "It's nothing, it's not a big deal."

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Huo Zhao said, "I went out with my sister-in-law today, and I didn't want to keep her waiting. Let's make an appointment next time."

"good."

Huo Zhao returned to the carriage and sat down, and the carriage then drove forward.

Huo Zhao looked at Chen Qiang and asked, "Sister-in-law, have there been any rumors circulating on the streets lately?"

Chen Qiang subconsciously replied, "No."

Her reaction seemed somewhat unnatural, and Huo Zhao narrowed his eyes.

The two women locked eyes, and finally, Chen Qiang gave in: "It's nothing serious. Didn't the Second Prince get demoted recently? That guy's gone mad, bringing up this concubine thing again. It's so annoying."

Huo Zhao understood.

Now that the entire Yun and Su families are imprisoned, and the Second Prince has been demoted and banished from the capital, it's no wonder Yun Wan has gone mad.

However, all Yun Wan could say was about her past as a concubine, repeating the same few sentences over and over again, which Huo Zhao didn't take to heart.

Huo Zhao then put the matter out of his mind and never paid attention to it again.

——

At this moment, in a house in Luoyang City, several maids were busy tidying up.

Yun Wan should have been considered a member of the Yun family, but she was also the biological daughter of Prince Ning. However, she had not acknowledged her ancestry, making her status quite awkward.

According to the rules, Yun Wan should have been arrested as well, but Prince Ning took the initiative and burned a person who was similar in size to Yun Wan alive to take her place.

Afterwards, Yun Wan did not leave the capital with Prince Ning, but instead settled in a house.

This house belongs to Prince Ning. Although it looked somewhat desolate due to being neglected for a long time, it was quickly restored to habitable condition thanks to the efforts of the servants.

Apart from her residence, Yun Wan's servants were still the same as before.

Pearl stood beside Yun Wan, turning her gaze away from the busy people: "Miss, His Highness Prince Ning left Luoyang yesterday. Why don't we go with him?"

Now that Yun Wan has been "burned to death," it would be terrible if she were discovered in Luoyang.

Pearl couldn't understand why Yun Wan would rather live such a life of hiding and hiding than leave with Prince Ning.

You must understand, Prince Ning is a prince. Even if he goes to his fiefdom, he will still live a life of luxury and will not suffer any grievances.

It's better than it is now, at least.

But Yun Wan seemed unable to understand such a simple truth, determined to stay here.

"Leave? Slink away like a defeated dog?" Yun Wan sneered. "I can leave, but that bitch won't have an easy time either!"

Pearl couldn't help but sigh: "Miss, we've already spread the rumors. Even if we leave now, that person won't have an easy time. Why do you have to make yourself suffer like this?"

Prince Ning will not be returning from this trip to the capital, so he has handed over all the available agents to Yun Wan, allowing her to deploy them as she sees fit.

Before leaving the capital, Prince Ning specifically told Yun Wan to go ahead and do whatever she wanted, and that if things went wrong, she could always leave Luoyang and come find him.

Therefore, Yun Wan completely let loose and secretly vowed to let everyone in Luoyang City know that Huo family girl had once been a concubine!

Luoyang City is so prosperous that it's not just Luoyang people who move around there. Traveling merchants will take this news all over the world, and then leave the mark of being a concubine on Yunxi forever, a mark that can never be washed away!
