Chapter 712
Seeing the bitterness that Fang Muning couldn't hide in her smile, Huo Shu nodded silently.
The two rode their horses side by side and walked forward.
After walking a short distance, Huo Shu suddenly said, "Since Young Master Fang has something to say, why didn't you say so from the beginning? Aren't you afraid that even if things are done well, I won't acknowledge it?"
Although Huo Shu had only met Fang Muning once, he could tell from Fang Muning's demeanor that he was a calm and thoughtful person. If that was the case, how could he possibly tolerate any changes?
Fang Muning shook his head: "Miss Huo is my friend, it is only right for me to help her, and I do not want to turn this into a transaction."
Huo Shu was somewhat surprised by Fang Muning's words.
For businessmen, the pursuit of profit has almost become their nature, and it's not something that can be changed overnight. But in Fang Muning's case, Huo Zhao is an exception.
Based on this, Huo Shu began to genuinely acknowledge Fang Muning as a friend.
Huo Shu kept Fang Muning's words in mind and ordered someone to keep watch at the entrance of the Prince's Mansion. When Shen Rang came over, he took him directly to his own courtyard.
“The matter has been taken care of. I saw Yun Wan with my own eyes and also had people lying in ambush. Tomorrow my father will submit a memorial to His Majesty. This time, Yun Wan will not be able to escape.”
With the Huo family keeping an eye on things, Shen Rang had nothing to worry about.
Shen Rang was about to leave when Huo Shu unexpectedly poured him a cup of tea, clearly having something else to say to him.
He couldn't refuse his brother-in-law's request, so Shen Rang had no choice but to sit down again.
Huo Shu slowly spoke up: "Young Master Fang has put in a lot of effort in this matter. Zi Rong, it's time for you to stop."
Shen Rang immediately realized what Huo Shu was talking about.
He nodded: "I understand."
Huo Shu sighed: "You really are petty, with a heart smaller than the eye of a needle. You've put people through this behind our backs. Luckily, they don't hold it against us and are still willing to help this time."
Shen Rang twitched the corner of his mouth: "Don't let Zhao Zhao hear this."
Huo Shu: ......
Shen Rang didn't care what I said; the point was actually here.
He was speechless.
Huo Shu waved his hand: "Alright, alright, let's go."
Shen Rang finally got up and left hastily, as if he had been granted some kind of pardon.
No sooner had Shen Rang left than Chen Qiang came out from behind him and said, "Our future son-in-law is just like that."
Huo Shushen agreed: "Isn't that right?"
——
The next day, Fang Muning finally got a good night's sleep.
When Fang Muning woke up, there was no familiar noise outside, and she felt a little unaccustomed to it.
Fang Muning snapped out of her daze and silently cursed herself.
Why haven't we had enough of these hard times yet?
So he lay back down, ready to take a nap.
In contrast to his situation, the usually quiet city of Luoyang became bustling with activity.
Huo Yue went to see the emperor early in the morning, and then several squads of imperial guards left the palace and surrounded the house where Yun Wan was staying.
At that moment, Yun Wan was still dressing up in her room when a maid rushed in from outside, knelt down on the ground, and couldn't even speak.
Yun Wan frowned and asked, "What exactly happened?"
