Chapter 967
Huo Yue smiled and said, "It's all because of the grudges we made during the war. Although it's unwise to come to our family, they don't know anyone else in Luoyang City, so coming to us is the safest option."
However, I think they also know that contacting us is a waste of time. There's plenty of time; let's see what they mean later.
After all, the couple had just entered the palace, and it was impossible to figure out their intentions in a short time.
——
Although the two sides have been fighting for so many years, since their delegation has come, a welcoming banquet still needs to be held.
The time was the next day.
Early that morning, Huo Zhao had just finished getting ready when the gatekeeper came to report that Shu Ningshuang had arrived.
What is she doing here?
The doorman shook his head: "Madam Yun is also attending today, and said she wants to come with you."
Huo Zhao was puzzled.
The two had not seen each other for a long time.
After a moment's hesitation, Huo Zhao still let Shu Ningshuang come over.
It's been a long time since we last met, and Shu Ningshuang seems to have become much more carefree than before.
"Why did you suddenly decide to contact me?"
Shu Ningshuang gracefully sat down: "In a place like that, I don't like being alone. I thought about coming with you so I could feel a little safer."
Shu Ningshuang used to always attend banquets with Yun Wan.
She came from a prominent family and knew that although banquets were glamorous, there might be something lurking behind the scenes.
Although not every time there is something unpleasant, attending banquets with others has long become a habit for her.
Before leaving, she looked around and found that she didn't have any particularly close friends in the entire capital, let alone anyone who could protect her if something happened. After thinking it over, she realized that she had some connection with Huo Zhao, so she came over.
Hearing her words, Huo Zhao couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
I never realized before that Shu Ningshuang was such an insecure person.
"Why did you come alone? Where is your partner?"
“I can’t show him off,” Shu Ningshuang sighed heavily. “He’s gone mad. He eats pig swill like it’s food now, and the way he eats it is disgusting. Anyway, nobody in the capital cares about him, so I’m not going to bring him out to embarrass himself.”
Huo Zhao still had some impression of Yun Ruiyang, vaguely remembering that he was a decent-looking person, but he never expected him to turn out like this.
Just from Shu Ningshuang's description and tone, Huo Zhao could imagine how disheveled Yun Ruiyang must be.
"Given his current condition, why isn't the Yun family sending anyone to pick him up?"
"He can only leave if he wants me to," Shu Ningshuang said, a cold glint in her eyes. "This guy did such shameless things with Yun Wan back then, and now he wants to leave? He's dreaming!"
She won't release him until she cripples Yun Ruiyang.
Huo Zhao nodded and said nothing more.
As the appointed time approached, the two got up and each boarded their own carriage and left.
Inside the car, Shen Rang raised an eyebrow when he heard that Shu Ningshuang was going with them: "This Miss Shu really knows how to find people."
Even if there is any trouble at today's banquet, it will most likely be aimed at the Huo family. As the only daughter of the Huo family, Huo Zhao will naturally not be able to get away from it. At that time, Shu Ning Shuang will probably be implicated as well.
If she had gone by herself, she probably wouldn't have encountered this situation.
Shen Rang shook his head.
From today onwards, it's estimated that Shu Ningshuang's habit of needing someone to accompany her will be completely corrected.
Huo Zhao understood the deeper meaning in his words and couldn't help but smile: "Fortunately, if something really happened today, there would be people from the Shu family present who would remind her."
