Chapter 655
Two men, one on each side, grabbed the servant and dragged him away. As soon as Le'an was free, he ran into the mansion, afraid that if he was even a step slower, he would be entangled again.
The servant watched her retreating figure and gave a cold, smirking smile.
When the servant looked up at the guards again, his face was full of pleading: "Brothers, please save my life, please ask Miss Yun to come out!"
The guards ignored him, let go of his hand, and went back to their positions.
The servant pleaded for a while longer, but seeing that no one paid any attention to him, he had no choice but to get up and leave.
He was covered in dust and sighed as he walked.
The journey from the Prince's Mansion to Cuiwei Residence involved passing through a market street, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.
A woman carrying a vegetable basket saw him like this and kindly went up to ask him what was wrong.
The servant sighed and said, "My master sent me to invite the young lady from the Huo family to a banquet at the mansion, but that young lady not only refused to go, but also had me beaten up! Alas... there's nothing I can do. They're powerful and influential, and I'm just a servant. What can I do after being beaten?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the onlookers around him became unhappy.
"You can't say that! So what if he's a servant? Servants are still human beings! Even those with power and influence can't treat human life like dirt!"
The servant quickly said, "Brother, you can't say that. The Huo family has made great contributions to maintaining peace in our southern border region. It's just that their daughter... she's really outrageous."
"That's right! I never expected that the Huo family, a family full of loyal martyrs, would produce such a girl! I heard that this girl was once a concubine, she really has no shame!"
"Such a thing is true?"
"That's right!"
"This daughter of the Huo family is really...sigh! The Huo family really shouldn't have acknowledged her!"
People went from street to street, and with someone deliberately pushing them from behind, the news spread quickly.
In a corner where no one was watching, the servant had already left quickly, heading back to Cuiwei Residence.
"Master, the matter has been settled. Just as you predicted, Miss Huo is unwilling to meet. I have done as you instructed and spread the word."
Su Zhengyu nodded: "Well done."
The more prestigious and wealthy a family is, the more they care about their reputation.
He had already inquired and found out that Yunxi had not yet been recognized by her ancestors. At such a critical juncture, if Yunxi's reputation was ruined, the Huo family would definitely not accept her again. At that time, Yunxi would have no choice but to come and see him obediently!
As long as Yunxi arrives, things will be at a disadvantage, and then things will be much easier to handle!
Thinking of this, Su Zhengyu took a deep breath and said, "I only invited her to a meal, but she wouldn't even give me that much face. If she had come obediently, none of this would have happened."
The servant nodded quickly: "Master is right."
"Now things have escalated so much that even if the Huo family intervenes, it might be difficult to resolve this..."
Su Zhengyu sighed as he opened the book in his hand: "But there's nothing we can do about it; people choose their own paths."
"You didn't give yourself away, did you?"
The servant quickly replied, "Don't worry, Master. I'm very careful and no one will notice."
Hearing this, Su Zhengyu finally felt relieved.
"If my niece comes, just tell her I'm not feeling well and ask her to wait outside."
"yes."
