Chapter 236
Thinking of this, Li Zhiwei's expression also turned sour. If this matter were to reach the Emperor, it was hard to guarantee that the Emperor would not think that the Li family had disobeyed the imperial edict.
However, seeing Huo Yunxuan who should have been in Li'an County, Li Zhiwei didn't understand why he was there.
Could it be that Huo Yunxuan went to the Emperor to complain about Prince An?
Thinking about how Huo Yunxuan had tricked Prince An into buying fake wine from him, Li Zhiwei's hatred for Huo Yunxuan intensified.
"Miss Li, I heard you are in love with Young Master Huo?" Zhu Jingchen suddenly asked, looking at Li Zhiwei who had remained silent.
Li Zhiwei: Is she hallucinating?
Why did she hear the Emperor ask him if he was in love with Young Master Huo?
That young master Huo?
Why would she fall for someone else?
Seeing Li Zhiwei's bewildered expression, Zhu Jingchen smiled and pointed to Huo Yunxuan beside him, implying that he was asking Li Zhiwei if she liked Huo Yunxuan.
Following the direction the Emperor pointed, Li Zhiwei looked at Huo Yunxuan standing to the side.
"Your Majesty, are you asking whether I, your humble servant, am in love with him?" Li Zhiwei asked, pointing incredulously at Huo Yunxuan beside her.
"Young Master Huo said that you and he are in love, and he offered ten thousand taels of gold to ask me to cancel the imperial decree of marriage between you and Prince An. What do you say about this?" Zhu Jingchen saw that Li Zhiwei's expression did not seem to be faking it, and instead asked directly.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiwei took a deep breath.
When did she and Huo Yunxuan fall in love?
Has he really forgotten that he almost killed her father?
How could he have the nerve to say that?
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiwei quickly knelt in the main hall and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, what Young Master Huo said is false. I am not acquainted with Young Master Huo!"
Li Zhiwei thought that the Huo family was all sick.
"I don't know why Young Master Huo would say such baseless things. In fact, I have only met Young Master Huo a few times. Moreover, I know that His Majesty has bestowed a marriage contract between me and Prince An. As long as His Majesty does not change his mind, my husband will only be Prince An. My father taught me from a young age to abide by the rules for women. How could I do such a thing as having an affair with someone else?" Li Zhiwei said with a face full of resentment.
At this point, Li Zhiwei paused again and added, "Young Master Huo used to be my father's mortal enemy. When I returned to Li'an County, Young Master Huo's sister even tried to poison me and ruin my name. Your Majesty, I am not stupid, and I would never get on the Huo family's pirate ship."
Zhu Jingchen raised an eyebrow. Originally, he wanted to see the drama of Xu Heming's future wife being snatched away, but now it seems that such a good show is not going to happen.
Upon hearing this, Xu Heming raised an eyebrow, and his expression improved considerably. He knew that Li Zhiwei would never leave him with this young upstart.
Huo Yunxuan's expression darkened further. He hadn't expected that Li Zhiwei would rather marry Xu Heming, a widower, than marry him.
“Miss Li, you didn’t say this when you were in Li’an County. You said you wouldn’t marry anyone but me. How come you’ve turned your back on me now that you’ve returned to the capital?” Huo Yunxuan said to Li Zhiwei deliberately.
After Huo Yunxuan finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Li Zhiwei, wondering how much truth Huo Yunxuan had instilled in them.
Li Zhiwei was so angry at Huo Yunxuan's shameless words that she almost laughed.
