Chapter 180
“This matter has nothing to do with her. If you have any complaints, come at me!” Upon hearing this, Huo Yunxuan looked at Xu Heming in horror.
He was afraid that Xu Heming would harm Huo Yunyao.
“Giving you fake alcohol was my doing alone, and it has nothing to do with my family,” Huo Yunxuan added.
"Now you know fear?" Xu Heming walked up to Huo Yunxuan, pinched his chin, and said with a mocking expression, "Too late!"
"Go, fill a pot with wine for Miss Huo outside and send it over so she can savor the 'good' wine that I personally prepared for Young Master Huo!" Xu Heming emphasized the words "good wine," as if afraid Huo Yunxuan wouldn't know that the wine in the half-person-high vat he had prepared was the same as the wine Huo Yunxuan had given him before, with added ingredients.
"Prince An, please spare my sister. She's just a woman and has no ill intentions towards you. I'll drink this wine!" Huo Yunxuan said through gritted teeth, glancing at the half-person-high vat.
"How can one person drink enough? I heard that Young Master Huo has two older sisters. The one just now was the second young lady, right? Someone, go and invite the eldest young lady and the third young lady over here as well. I want Young Master Huo to see them drink this 'good' wine in person!"
As soon as Xu Heming finished speaking, a guard went out.
Clearly, they had already found out where Huo Kong's masters were.
"Prince An, I'll drink this wine. I'll drink it all. Don't bother my sisters. This matter has nothing to do with them. I shouldn't have been jealous of you. I shouldn't have harbored any disloyalty towards Miss Li!" Huo Yunxuan quickly said.
You should know that the wine I prepared for Li Tianyou back then was loaded with ingredients.
My own sisters are all weak women, how could they endure such suffering?
This trouble was caused by him.
It doesn't make sense; we shouldn't drag our sisters into this mess.
Upon hearing this, Xu Heming's tone was full of dissatisfaction. What right did he have to covet his princess?
"Do you think I'd believe what you're saying? You have ulterior motives towards Miss Li, so you want to cause her father to suffer? I think you have a grudge against Lord Li, don't you?" Xu Heming felt that Huo Yunxuan's statement was contradictory.
After all, Huo Yunxuan knew perfectly well that he was buying the wine to give to Li Tianyou, but the wine he enthusiastically recommended to me was counterfeit.
It's clear that his target from the beginning was Li Tianyou.
However, he himself became the one who wielded the knife in his plan.
“A year ago, I asked Mr. Li to marry Miss Li, but Mr. Li said that Miss Li wanted to stay in the Li family and become a live-in son-in-law. I am the only male in the Huo family, so how could I become a live-in son-in-law in the Li family? At this time, I had no choice but to give up.” Huo Yunxuan said slowly.
"Ha, in this world, if everyone who gets rejected for marriage has to resort to such ruthless methods like you, I doubt anyone would dare to propose. Besides, you're just asking for marriage, why should anyone agree to it?" Xu Heming added in his mind, thankfully, his father-in-law was wise and didn't agree.
"I wasn't angry when he rejected me. The Li family only has Miss Li as their child. The Li family is large and powerful. It's understandable that Master Li wanted his daughter to stay and find a husband to marry into the family. But he actually lied to me!" Huo Yunxuan was furious when he thought of this.
Xu Heming frowned. "What did I lie to you about?"
Perhaps, back then, Li Tianyou simply didn't fancy him?
"What did we lie to you about? The Li family neither accepted your betrothal gifts nor agreed to your marriage with Miss Li; they simply rejected you," Xu Heming said sarcastically.
"Ha, he immediately agreed to let his daughter marry into the capital. What happened to the promised marriage? It was just an excuse to fob me off! He just looks down on me!" Huo Yunxuan was furious when he thought of this.
He considered himself an outstanding young man in Li'an County, so how could he be unworthy of Li Zhiwei?
