Chapter 911

When she mentioned her mother, Jixiang's smile became even brighter.

Huo Zhao couldn't help but laugh.

Meanwhile, Le'an finally got tired of fighting and obediently came back to pack his things.

Jixiang asked curiously, "Le'an, where are your parents? We've known each other for so long, but you've never mentioned them."

Upon hearing this, Le An's expression stiffened slightly, and then she said awkwardly, "I don't know."

Her tone was stiff, which left Huo Zhao and Ji Xiang feeling somewhat puzzled.

After Le'an finished packing and left, Shen Rang spoke up: "Le'an had a hard life growing up. She was sold into this family by her mother. Her mother took the money and ran off with another man. Over the years, Le'an tried to find them herself, but she couldn't find anything. She doesn't know if her parents are still alive."

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhao couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect it. Judging from Le An's personality, I thought she grew up in a good family."

Shen Rang put his arm around Huo Zhao's shoulder and told her to lean against him.

Fortunately, Le'an has been doing well since entering the manor.

Back then, Madam Zheng knew that Le'an had a hard life, so she personally took him under her wing and taught him manners. After he was taught, she gave him to her. Perhaps her original intention was to have Le'an become her concubine. However, she did not expect that after teaching Le'an martial arts, she would bring him to Huo Zhao's place.

Following Huo Zhao meant living a life of luxury, and even though there were some setbacks along the way, things got better afterward.

Huo Zhao seemed comforted by his words and nodded, then dropped the matter.

——

The following day, Huo Zhao instructed Ji Xiang to personally deliver the gift to the Ying family.

Upon arriving at the Ying family's residence, Jixiang, using Huo Zhao's name, made a great show of force, drawing out all of the Ying family's sisters-in-law.

"Miss Yao, these things are all from our princess's heartfelt wishes. Please keep them safe. If you need anything or anything, just let the princess know!"

As Jixiang spoke, she glanced at her sisters-in-law: "Also, the Marquis's mansion is facing some trouble, but the Prince's mansion is still fine. If you suffer any grievances here, you must let the Princess know."

The princess doesn't have many close friends in Luoyang City. If you have some free time, please talk to her more!

Yao Susu knew perfectly well why she had come, and she was moved, with tears welling up in her eyes: "Yes! When I have time, I will talk to my cousin-in-law more."

At this moment, the other sisters-in-law also came over.

They stared wide-eyed at the two large trunks on the ground: "Miss, these... were all sent by the princess?"

“Of course, the princess picked out all the items,” Jixiang said. “Who are you gentlemen?”

“We’re all family! We’re Su Su’s sisters-in-law!” one of them, with a round face, said with a smile. “I only knew that Su Su had a close relationship with the Marquis’s mansion before, but I didn’t expect that she would have such a good relationship with the Princess as well!”

“The princess is the young mistress of the Marquis’s mansion and also Miss Yao’s cousin-in-law, so they naturally have a good relationship,” Jixiang curtsied. “Madam Yao, the princess has something to attend to, so I will take my leave now.”

"Go ahead and get busy."

Jixiang then turned and left with his men.

No sooner had they left than the sisters-in-law started making a fuss and ordered someone to open the trunks.

When the box was opened, it was filled with gold and silver artifacts, almost dazzling to the eye.

The sisters-in-law stared wide-eyed, and finally, one of the thin ones sneered, "I didn't expect the princess to give such a vulgar gift!"

After saying that, she turned and left first, seemingly hurt by the golden and silver light.
