Chapter 974
The next morning, Huo Zhao woke up and learned what had happened the night before.
Hearing that the Sixth Prince and his entourage had actually followed along, Huo Zhao couldn't help but imagine how interesting their expressions would be if they knew that the person being transported was an insignificant person.
"They won't be idle until after the welcoming banquet; we'll probably see it soon."
Le An chuckled to himself.
Shen Rang said, "Let's go out for a walk later, maybe we'll run into them."
Huo Zhao looked at him suspiciously: "Do you know where they're going?"
Shen Rang shook his head: "They'll know where we're going."
Huo Zhao suddenly realized: "Then let's go."
The two went out and leisurely strolled through the streets in a horse-drawn carriage.
Huo Zhao hadn't been out shopping for a long time. Once inside a fabric shop, he couldn't move on. Shen Rang accompanied him, and the couple chatted and laughed.
The shopkeeper was envious: "I've been running this shop for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen someone so patient with his wife!"
In the past, most people would urge to go back after only a short while, or simply not come at all. It was indeed rare to see someone like Shen Rang who stayed to choose a place for almost half an hour.
Shen Rang curled his lips slightly: "It's just what I should do."
If you don't spend time with your own wife, who will?
At this moment, Huo Zhao also selected the materials: "These will do. We'll send them all to the Prince's residence later."
The shopkeeper quickly responded.
Huo Zhao selected quite a lot of materials, counting the heads of the people he met, and none of them were cheap. The shopkeeper showed him great enthusiasm.
The two were about to leave for the next shop when they saw the Sixth Prince and his wife walking towards them.
Both of them looked unwell today, with dark circles under their eyes, clearly indicating they hadn't slept well last night.
They didn't just not sleep well, they didn't sleep at all.
First, they followed the people from the Prince's Mansion around Luoyang City for a long time, watching them escort a fat pig down to the manor. Then they realized they had been tricked.
After I got back, I was so angry that I couldn't sleep at all.
Fortunately, the sixth prince didn't try to steal it!
Otherwise, the joke will really get out of hand.
Even now, upon seeing Huo Zhao, the Sixth Prince still felt a surge of anger.
Fortunately, the princess consort was nearby, and she smiled and said, "What a coincidence, the prince and the princess are shopping?"
Huo Zhao nodded: "It is indeed a coincidence, but we have already bought them."
She just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Holding back laughter is very difficult.
But the princess consort wasn't about to let them leave so easily: "Since we've run into each other, let's take a walk together. We've just arrived in Luoyang and don't know where to go for a stroll."
Having said that, Shen Rang and Huo Zhao naturally couldn't refuse.
So what was originally a trip for two became a trip for four.
The princess and Huo Zhao walked together and chatted about what happened last night.
She herself felt embarrassed and didn't dare to ask directly, so she beat around the bush, mentioning what she had heard and what was rumored, which almost made Huo Zhao suffer internal injuries from holding it in.
"Just a heartless man."
Huo Zhaodao.
"A heartless man?"
Huo Zhao nodded slightly: "He... kept a mistress outside, and after his wife found out, he developed this habit."
The princess suddenly realized.
Recalling the extremely obese figure she had seen last night, she couldn't help but smirk: "I wonder who his wife is. She really doesn't hold back when it comes to taking revenge."
