Chapter 157
Shen An'an clenched her fists. Although she was unwilling, she could only follow behind that person with resentment.
However, I was also a little scared.
Thinking of this, Shen An'an could only secretly throw her handkerchief on the ground.
She prayed that someone would see it.
However, the Li family's tightly closed doors were destined to disappoint Shen An'an.
Zhu Family Villa
"Miss Shen," Huo Yunyao called out lazily from her chaise lounge.
However, he showed no intention of getting up.
"Madam Zhu?" Shen An'an was surprised to find that the person who invited her here was Huo Yunyao.
She couldn't understand what grudge she could have against Huo Yunyao.
In fact, she had no connection whatsoever with either the Huo or Zhu families.
"Please sit down! Serve Miss Shen tea." Huo Yunyao said to the maid, seemingly unconcerned about Shen An'an's expression.
"I wonder what brings Madam Zhu here?" Shen An'an asked Huo Yunyao with a wary look. She knew Huo Yunyao was very capable, but she shouldn't have provoked her, right?
Thinking of this, Shen An'an felt very uneasy. After all, the Shen family was no match for the Huo family. Even if they could, her father probably wouldn't do something as risky as throwing an egg against a rock for the sake of his daughter.
If he really had to choose, his father would probably rather sacrifice her, right?
Thinking of this, Shen An'an felt a little sad.
"What's the rush?" Huo Yunyao loved seeing people looking scared and helpless.
Besides, she believed that the little girl in front of her would not resist what she wanted to do.
Li family
“Miss, I think what Miss Shen said might be true,” Qinghua said, looking at Li Zhiwei with a hint of hesitation.
She felt that someone might really want to kill the young lady, but she didn't know whether that person came from the capital or from this Li'an County.
However, regardless of where they come from, they should all be wary.
"There are probably quite a few people who want me dead, all thanks to your prince," Li Zhiwei said nonchalantly.
"Nothing will happen. He must be unable to get close to here, so he resorted to this tactic. Otherwise, why wouldn't he just come to our door?" Li Zhiwei said dismissively.
In fact, the man only wanted to send a message to Li Zhiwei because Li Tianyou had saved his life. However, the Lin family was now heavily guarded, which is why he spoke up to warn them.
That man's name was Xun Lang.
Although no one in the Li family noticed Shen An'an's whereabouts, Xun Lang was secretly watching the Li family's every move and naturally noticed that someone had kidnapped Shen An'an.
Thinking that Shen An'an had come to the Li family because of him, Xun Lang sighed and resignedly followed behind.
He thought to himself that as long as Shen An'an was safe, he would leave.
“I…” Shen An’an couldn’t believe what she had just heard.
Huo Yunyao actually asked her to poison Li Zhiwei.
How could she do something like betraying her friend?
“Miss Shen, as far as I know, my father recently received an order from a foreign merchant, requiring him to deliver 8,000 catties of the finest Daughter's Red wine. Unfortunately, your family's brewing master has passed away due to an accident, and the other brewers simply cannot brew the Daughter's Red wine that the customer wants,” Huo Yunyao said with a smug look.
Shen An'an's face turned pale immediately; she knew about this.
It's no secret in Li'an County that her father has been looking for a winemaker lately. However, Huo Yunyao somehow knew about their family's customer orders, something she herself was unaware of.
