Chapter 575
Yun Wan led a large group of people to Ji Bai Ju.
Shen Rang had just finished showering when he saw Yun Wan coming over, and he wasn't surprised.
“Husband,” Yunwan stepped forward, “You went to Jizhou. I wonder how my sister is doing now?”
Shen Rang wiped the water droplets from his hair with a thick handkerchief, glanced at her, and said, "Xi'er is fine. Did I disappoint you?"
"How could that be?"
Shen Rang did not miss the fleeting look of surprise on Yun Wan's face.
"By the way, the Prince of Yunnan's residence might want to send you something."
Yun Wan was puzzled.
——
That evening, just as Shen Rang had predicted, Huo Shu arrived.
Huo Shu was eight feet tall. As a military general, he was much stronger than the average person. His imposing presence was so great that people dared not look him in the eye.
Shen Jun was also in the front hall. Although he was an elder, Huo Shu didn't take him seriously at all.
Huo Shu's expression softened slightly when Shen Rang came over.
He was carrying a rather plain food box.
"Your Highness."
Although both were princes, Huo Shu was the heir of the royal family and also had military merits, so when they met, Shen Rang had to bow to him.
"We're all family, no need to be so polite."
Hearing Huo Shu's words, Shen Jun couldn't help but secretly grumble to himself.
Just now, Huo Shu wasn't so polite to him.
Besides, how did we become family?
Shen Jun was full of complaints, but Huo Shu didn't even glance at him.
"What does Xi'er like to eat? I'll bring some back for her later."
"Young Master, please take the cook from the Marquis's residence back," Shen Rang said.
Huo Shu nodded.
When the two of them started talking about Yunxi, Shen Jun became even more confused.
What does this have to do with anything?
His doubts didn't last long.
Yun Wan has arrived.
Yun Wan arrived in a hurry but did not step forward to greet him.
Even if the crown prince doesn't acknowledge her, she is still the ruler.
What kind of logic is it for a ruler to bow to his subjects?
Huo Shu didn't say anything, but simply handed the food box in his hand forward.
"For me?" Yun Wan asked in surprise.
Yun Wan took the food box from Huo Shu and opened it curiously.
Right in front of me were a pair of familiar but now dull and lifeless eyes, and a patch of bloody red.
"ah--"
Yun Wan screamed and instinctively threw the food box away.
The head rolled out, leaving a trail of blood.
Even Shen Jun was startled by the scene.
"I heard from this person that the young mistress likes heads," Huo Shu said with a smile. "If the young mistress doesn't want her own head to end up inside one day, she should stop trying to take advantage of Xi'er."
“My Yunnan Prince’s Mansion only has this one girl. If anything happens to her, even the Crown Prince can’t protect you.”
The Huo family really doesn't take someone who isn't recorded in the imperial genealogy seriously.
After saying that, Huo Shu looked at Shen Rang.
This is to tell him to bring the cook out.
Shen Rang understood and turned his head to see Jing Yuan already coming over with the cook.
Huo Shu didn't look at Yun Wan again, and turned to leave with the cook.
Yun Wan's face was deathly pale, completely devoid of color, clearly she was terrified.
Shen Jun finally realized what was happening.
"The girl from the Yunnan Prince's mansion? Is she... the concubine in your backyard?!"
