Chapter 937
I'm used to it now.
Huo Zhao briefly explained what had happened in the palace, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"You don't need to worry about what happened in Qudun. Our family has everything we need, but we don't lack manpower. I'll have someone investigate."
Huo Yue said.
Shen Rang then said, "Regarding the matter in the palace, I will go and inform His Highness the Crown Prince in a moment. As for the specifics, it will depend on Her Majesty the Empress's methods."
The Empress is no pushover either; her skills are no less than Consort Jing's. Now, with her high position, she can directly suppress Consort Jing, preventing her from causing any trouble. It's only natural that Consort Xi would take over the power from her.
Huo Zhao looked around.
Alright, that's all for her now. It seems she just needs to wait for news.
However, just two days later, someone approached her.
"Who?" Huo Zhao thought he had misheard.
Le An repeated: "The young master of the Qu family, Qu Dun."
Huo Zhao frowned slightly.
Qu Dun is looking for her?
"...Let's go take a look."
At that time, Qu Dun was sitting in the front hall.
It had been a long time since I'd seen him. Compared to the last time I saw him at the Cheng family's house, he had lost a lot of weight and didn't look as annoying anymore.
As soon as he saw Huo Zhao arrive, Qu Dun stood up.
He seemed to want to say something, but his mouth was half open when he looked at the servants who were guarding various parts of the room.
Huo Zhao raised his hand, and after the servants had all left, he spoke: "Can you speak now?"
Qu Dun pursed his lips: "I'm sorry about what happened last time."
Huo Zhao raised an eyebrow slightly.
This really surprised her.
Qu Dun came here this time, actually to apologize to her.
"At the time, all I knew was that my sister didn't like you, so I wanted to play a trick on you..."
As Qu Dun spoke, he seemed to feel embarrassed and muttered under his breath, "Who knew you were so weak? I just bumped into you and you almost fell over."
Huo Zhao twitched the corner of his mouth.
She smiled sinisterly: "It's nothing. If it weren't for Young Master Qu, I'd probably be the one who's become an idiot."
Qu Dun's eyes widened immediately: "I'm just a child, do you have to be so rude?"
He came to apologize to her, but he just wanted to say something to make amends and save himself from losing face. Does Huo Zhao have to be so venomous?
Huo Zhao looked down at him condescendingly: "So what if you're a kid? You're not my kid, why should I spoil you?"
Qu Dun: ......
That seems to make sense.
He deflated and slumped back into his chair.
Seeing this, Huo Zhao said, "There's some freshly made cheese in the manor, would you like some?"
Since Chen Nianchu loved to drink it, he always kept some at home. Since they were both children, he figured Qu Dun would like it too.
Sure enough, Qu Dun nodded and thanked him.
Soon, a bowl of buttermilk was served. Qu Dun drank several mouthfuls in a row before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Looking at his expression, Huo Zhao couldn't help but chuckle.
He's a son of a duke, after all. How come he acts like he's eating some kind of delicacy when he eats this?
That's really strange.
However, Huo Zhao had no intention of delving deeper: "What brings Young Master Qu here today?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Dun put the cheese aside and really put on a grown-up act: "I came here this time because of my sister's matter."
"oh?"
Qu Dun's expression grew increasingly grave: "I want to know, why did my sister suddenly enter the palace? His Majesty is already so old, there's no way my sister would be interested in him."
