"Mother, why do you say that?" Li Zhiwei looked at Yao Shi in confusion, not understanding why her mother would have such a thought.
"Why didn't Cuiguo come back with you this time?" Yao asked, staring intently at her daughter.
"Cuiguo..." Li Zhiwei was about to say that Cuiguo was injured, but she quickly stopped herself. This was not something she could tell Yao Shi.
Otherwise, if Madam Yao knew that she had been injured while protecting Xu Qing, her impression of Prince An would likely be even worse.
“Mother, what are you thinking? Qinghua and Qingyue are former palace guards. They can not only take care of me, but also protect my safety,” Li Zhiwei quickly said in a relaxed tone.
However, Li Zhiwei's slight hesitation just now made Yao Shi doubt: "Really?"
Madam Yao was well aware of her daughter's personality.
My daughter clearly didn't mean to say that, but she didn't tell me the truth.
It seems that my daughter must have suffered a great injustice in the capital.
"Of course it's true. When has my daughter ever lied to you?" Li Zhiwei lowered her head, not daring to look Yao Shi in the eye.
She dared not tell Madam Yao what had happened in the capital over the past two months, fearing that Madam Yao would not be able to bear it.
"Oh dear, Li Tianyou is really getting worse as he gets older!" Yao was dissatisfied, but she could only blame Li Tianyou for these mistakes.
The capital city, the Ministry of Revenue.
Tang Xiuyong looked at Huo Yunxuan with cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
The Emperor said he wanted to check the Ministry of Revenue's accounts, but unexpectedly, he sent someone else to do it.
This young master Huo, whose background was unknown, sat there without saying a word, just flipping through the account books, and didn't seem to touch the abacus.
It looks like it's just a game.
For a moment, Tang Xiuyong was left wondering what the emperor was up to.
Unfortunately, both of the Ministry of Revenue's two top assistants, Li Tianyou and Xiao Guozhi, were out.
They have other jobs.
However, no matter what he asked Huo Yunxuan, he only gave him a cold look and didn't answer.
He didn't know who this young master Huo was, and he didn't dare to offend him.
"Young Master Huo, how is it?"
Xu Heming, who rushed in from outside, looked at Huo Yunxuan, who was looking at the account books at the table, and asked.
Huo Yunxuan maintained his aloof demeanor and did not reply to Xu Heming.
"Your Highness Prince An!" Tang Xiuyong greeted Xu Heming with a forced smile.
Huo Yunxuan put down the account book in his hand and looked Xu Heming up and down.
Is this Prince An?
Huo Yunxuan looked him up and down, thinking with some displeasure: It's not that great!
I'm not inferior to him in any way.
Thinking of this, Huo Yunxuan put down the account book in his hand, stood up, looked at Xu Heming, and asked with some displeasure, "Are you the Prince An?"
Xu Heming was taken aback. He shouldn't have known this Young Master Huo before, right?
Why did he feel that this person was looking at him with some hostility?
He shouldn't have offended him, right?
If he guessed correctly, this person should be someone Li Tianyou found. Could it be that he has a grudge against Li Tianyou?
