Now, Huo Yunzhi just wants to get her things back and minimize her losses.
"What do you mean, 'what'?" King Lan Huai looked at Huo Yunzhi with a puzzled expression.
"It's...it's something my younger brother asked me to give to the Prince," Huo Yunzhi said softly.
After saying this, she felt a little flustered. After all, she wasn't sure if Prince Lan Huai would punish her if he found out about this.
"Yunxuan sent you a letter?" King Lan Huai looked at Huo Yunzhi with suspicion, his thoughts unknown, which made Huo Yunzhi feel a little guilty.
Her younger brother didn't ask her to give those things in batches, but he also didn't ask her to give them too quickly; it was her own selfishness that led her to do so.
"Yes!" Huo Yunzhi lowered her head. Since the prince thought it was Yunxuan who had written to her, she would take it as a letter from her younger brother.
Those things were brought by my younger brother.
"What did Yunxuan give you?" Lan Huaiwang asked excitedly as he stood up.
After all, last time Huo Yunzhi gave him iron ore, so who knows what good things she will give him this time.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. My younger brother gave me some personal savings and two land deeds, asking me to pass them on to you. But alas—" At this point, Huo Yunzhi began to cry again.
"Where is the land deed? Where is it? Quickly bring it out and let me see it!" King Lan Huai said excitedly.
"Your Highness, the land deed has been stolen!" Huo Yunzhi said, then sadly wiped away her tears.
"What? Who is so audacious as to steal even my things?" Upon hearing this, King Lanhuai stood up angrily.
The thought that those things were meant to be left to him by Huo Yunxuan, but now they had been stolen away, filled him with a sense of awe.
"It's Miss Cheng, Your Highness. You must stand up for me and take those things back." Huo Yunzhi didn't notice the strange expression on her husband's face when he heard that it was Miss Cheng.
Is the Cheng family someone he can afford to offend?
"What did you do to Miss Cheng?" Prince Lan Huai stared coldly at Huo Yunzhi, his tone full of dissatisfaction.
He might have believed anyone else, but Miss Cheng? She was the Empress's younger sister. How could she possibly lie to the Huo family about something so trivial?
What kind of thing could the Cheng family not have?
To put it bluntly, among the jewelry Miss Cheng wears every day, there is always one exquisite hairpin made in the palace.
These are not things that money can buy.
Even if he wanted that position, the Cheng family was still one of the people he wanted to win over. However, since the current empress was a daughter of the Cheng family, Prince Lan Huai dared not act rashly.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" Huo Yunzhi looked at Prince Lan Huai in horror. She hadn't expected that the prince knew what she had done. Otherwise, why would he ask such a question?
Could it be that Changsheng came in first to report the secret?
Thinking of this, Huo Yunzhi lowered her head and remained silent.
"You wretch!" King Lanhuai angrily slapped Huo Yunzhi across the face.
"Ah!" Huo Yunzhi was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground, her eyes filled with terror.
How could Your Highness hit her?
"Your Highness, today Consort Huo is gambling with Miss Cheng at Jubao Tower." Changsheng hurried in, ignoring Huo Yunzhi but showing her great enthusiasm.
"What? Huo Yunzhi, you're telling me you were tricked by Miss Cheng? In my opinion, it's obvious you wanted her, but she wouldn't have it!" After saying this, Prince Lan Huai touched his chest, still holding onto a sliver of hope that he could find those things.
"Your Highness, it was Changsheng who slandered me!" After thinking it over, Huo Yunzhi decided to let Changsheng off the hook.
"You still dare to implicate others?" King Lan Huai thought the woman was just lying.
"My lord, I have been wronged. As my husband, instead of seeking justice for me, you have allowed people to block the gate of the mansion?" Huo Yunzhi said with a dissatisfied expression.
