Gong Yuanzheng thought that Li Huashi was deliberately making things difficult for him, so even though he was unhappy, he still sent her back reluctantly.

But on the way back, Gong Yuanzheng deliberately walked in front and did not walk side by side with Li Huashi.

Li Huashi put her hands behind her back and walked slowly on purpose, watching as the distance between the two of them widened to about three steps.

Li Huashi deliberately stopped.

"Oops~ You're walking too fast and I can't see the road~"

Gong Yuanzheng turned back unhappily: "Then you take the lantern yourself."

Li Huashi blinked innocently: "I am a delicate little girl, weak and beautiful, how can I hold such a big lantern?"

Gong Yuanzheng sneered speechlessly.

"Weak? Beautiful? You?"

Li Huashi lowered her head in embarrassment: "I feel a little embarrassed that you suddenly praised me like this~"

Gong Yuanzheng: . . .

Not wanting to pay attention to Li Huashi, Gong Yuanzheng rolled his eyes and turned away, as if he didn't want to see her.

Li Huashi chuckled, then quickened her pace to catch up.

"If I can't see the road clearly and fall down, I need someone to carry me. If no one carries me, and I accidentally get lost and go to a place I shouldn't go, in order to avoid being punished, I can only say that you took me there."

Gong Yuanzheng: . . .

Although Gong Yuanzheng ignored Li Huashi, he still slowed down his pace.

Li Huashi looked at Gong Yuanzheng's back and couldn't help but chuckle.

The palace expedition is so interesting.

They soon arrived at the Corner Palace. After Gong Yuanzheng sent Li Huashi to the door, he turned around and left without wanting to stay any longer.

Li Huashi looked at the other person's back as he fled and couldn't help laughing again.

. . . . . .

After a good night's sleep, he saw Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng waiting for him in the corner palace hall early in the morning.

Li Huashi was not surprised at all.

"Master Jiao and Brother Yuanzheng have such a good relationship~ Brother Yuanzheng was so impatient that he told you everything."

Gong Yuanzheng snorted: "Of course my brother and I have a good relationship."

Gong Shangjiao replied: "If it wasn't for what my brother Yuanzheng said, I wouldn't have thought that Miss Li said she wanted to cooperate with me, but she had other plans."

Li Huashi walked up to the two of them and threw the box in her hand to Gong Yuanzheng.

"Here, you want it."

In response to Gong Shangjiao's words, Li Huashi smiled and replied as a matter of course:

"I'm working with you, but you can't give me what I want. Why should I bother working for you?

What Mr. Jiao calls cooperation can't be that I unilaterally help your palace find the spy, right?

Of course, I will only work if you can help our Shen Yao Villa first, or give me what I want~

As for some things that I got through my own efforts, of course they are mine~"

Gong Yuanzheng's expression was indescribable, and he said unhappily, "Shameless."

Li Huashi retorted: "You are shameless for using the Snow Tai Sui I gave you to scold me, aren't you, brother?"

Gong Yuanzheng opened the box, looked at the three black things inside, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

He didn't expect Li Huashi to give it to him so quickly, and he didn't expect Li Huashi to give him three pieces.

Gong Shangjiao realized something very quickly.

“Xue Taisui, you didn’t bring it into the palace at first, and you promised to give it to your brother Yuanzheng only last night.

How did you deliver the message? And how did you get the things delivered?"

Li Huashi raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why do you think I would tell you?"

Gong Shangjiao: "Since Miss Li is unwilling to speak, I will not force her. However, I hope that Miss Li will not do anything that is detrimental to the palace again, such as letting your people steal things from the palace, or sneaking into the Snow Palace in the back mountain at will."

After learning what Li Huashi had done, Gong Shangjiao was dissatisfied, but he also understood.

Since Li Huashi dared to speak out this matter openly, and her people could sneak into the palace at will without anyone noticing.

If this matter really needs to be investigated, she will definitely have a backup plan and will not be afraid at all.

And it would be of no benefit for the palace to confront the Shen Yao Villa at this time.

Izumo Juren belongs to his younger brother Yuanzheng. Since his younger brother Yuanzheng has already made a deal with Li Huashi, he won't say anything more.

As for the snow lotus in the Snow Palace in the back mountain...

Gong Shangjiao glanced at the Xue Tai Sui in Gong Yuanzheng's hand and decided to pretend he knew nothing.

Li Huashi smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Master Jiao, I definitely won't ~ Brother Yuanzheng has already promised me, if I still want something, just tell him."

Gong Yuanzheng: . . .

Gong Shangjiao glanced at Gong Yuanzheng with a little surprise, and after noticing the complicated expression on his face, he understood instantly.

I guess my brother's agreement to go on this expedition was not voluntary.

Gong Shangjiao: "Are you sure that what Jia Guanshi's wife and children said, that Gong Huanyu gave the Chu Yun Chong Lian to Jia Guanshi two years ago to treat his seriously ill son, is true?"

Li Huashi smiled and said, "Anyway, Manager Jia's wife and children are in my hands.

I will not let them go until I get the Izumo Lotus that my brother Yuanzheng promised me.

And if they would rather bear the consequences of deceiving Shen Yao Villa and lie, then I don’t know. "

Gong Shangjiao chuckled: "Shen Yao Villa was able to find the two people who moved out a month ago in such a short time. I believe they naturally don't have the courage to deceive you."

Li Huashi: “Since Brother Yuanzheng has already told you about this, I believe you have already discussed this matter.

So is there an answer? Why did Gong Huanyu give Chu Yun Chong Lian to Jia Guan Shi?

Is it because Yuanzheng's brother is so annoying on weekdays, so Gong Huanyu did it on purpose?"

"You! Who could be more annoying than you?!"

Gong Yuanzheng knew very well that Li Huashi said this on purpose.

Even if Gong Huanyu really disliked Gong Yuanzheng, he could use Izumo Chonglian himself and there was no need to give her to Manager Jia.

Gong Shangjiao naturally knew that Li Huashi did it on purpose. He looked at the two people bickering and chuckled.

"Since your people didn't learn the specific reasons from Manager Jia's wife and children, I will send someone to investigate further.

If Miss Li has other news later, I hope she can let us know."

Li Huashi nodded perfunctorily: "Yeah, yeah, by the way, when will breakfast be served? I'm hungry."

Gong Yuanzheng smiled gloatingly: "Breakfast time has long passed, and there is still an hour left for lunch, so wait."

Li Huashi: "Eh~?! The palace gates don't even give the bride food to eat, forget it~ This is what it's like to live under someone else's roof~

I am a little wronged now, I will complain to my father later and let him vent my grievances on my behalf in the martial arts world~"

Gong Yuanzheng: . . .

"Can you be any more shameless?"

Li Huashi: "Look at the snow Tai Sui in your hand, don't you think you are going too far?"

Gong Yuanzheng: . . .

Gong Shangjiao chuckled and asked the maid to prepare some food for Li Huashi.
