Chapter 711
Fang Muning gritted his teeth.
He couldn't stand it either.
It wasn't until Shen Rang said that he could contact his father directly and have his father talk to him that he had no choice but to accept it.
After all, once that old man arrives, what awaits him will be more than just nagging.
He'll get another beating.
Compared to physical pain, what are these things right now?
Fang Muning sighed deeply: "Young Master Huo, is there something you need to discuss with me?"
Getting down to business, Huo Shu straightened up and recounted what had happened at the Cheng family banquet. He then added, "Zhao Zhao said you might know where that person is hiding, so I came here."
Fang Muning's expression also turned serious: "There is such a thing... Young Master Huo, rest assured, Miss Huo and I are old acquaintances. I will not stand idly by when she encounters such a thing. I will take you there now."
Huo Shu hadn't expected things to go so smoothly, and immediately breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "Thank you very much, Young Master Fang."
So the two of them went out together and walked away along the path.
——
Fang Muning had been there once before, so this time she was naturally very familiar with the place.
When the two arrived, the house was quiet, as if no one was there.
The two exchanged a glance, and instead of going through the main entrance, Huo Shu used a lever to climb onto the roof, then turned around and pulled Fang Muning up with him.
The two walked to the center, and Huo Shu squatted down and removed a piece of brick, and the sounds from inside the house came out.
"I haven't seen Pearl for several days. What happened to her?"
The voice sounded extremely tired.
"Miss Pearl said a few days ago that she had some things to take care of and that she would be back once she had finished. Please be patient and wait for her."
The voice sounded cold and hard, devoid of any respect.
Yun Wan frowned, feeling dissatisfied.
Since Pearl left, this lady-in-waiting has been taking care of her.
However, this female official was not to her liking at all; aside from being arrogant, she was not as thorough in her work as Pearl.
At least when Pearl was around, she didn't have to say anything; Pearl knew whether she was thirsty or hungry. Now, not only does she have to tell me if she's thirsty or hungry, but she also has to be constantly urged, otherwise it can take up half a day.
I really don't know how this person became a female official, or how she was sent by Prince Ning to follow her.
Yun Wan pressed her temples and sighed.
Unbeknownst to her, Huo Shu had already restored the roof to its original state and left.
Huo Shu simply ordered his men to keep a secret watch and report back at the slightest sign of trouble, and then he left.
On the way back, Fang Muning couldn't help but say, "Young Master Huo, now that the person is here, aren't you going to make a move?"
Huo Shu said, "Young Master Fang, you may not know this, but although we all know that this person is actually the daughter of Prince Ning, she does not have a royal status. So, in a sense, she is still a member of the Yun family. Now that the entire Yun family is imprisoned and awaiting punishment, rather than dealing with her silently, it would be better to make a big fuss and get the court involved."
Fang Muning frowned slightly, but nodded.
Indeed, it would be perfectly legitimate to involve the imperial court, and there would be no need to worry about what would happen next.
Fang Muning felt relieved and said, "Young Master Huo, I have a favor to ask."
“Young Master Fang, please speak freely,” Huo Shu said. “As long as it is within the Huo family’s power, we will do our best.”
Fang Muning twitched the corner of his mouth: "Please ask Prince Huo to speak to Prince Shen for me and tell him to remove those matchmakers."
He's really not good enough anymore.
Huo Shu: ......
