Chapter 354
"Now you're scared? Why don't you hand over everything?" Huo Yunzhi looked at Cheng Qingli with a smug expression.
Her eyes were filled with smugness.
"Pfft!" Cheng Qingli couldn't help but laugh.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Those watching couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
"I say, madam, can't you tell the difference between the king and the queen?" Liu San couldn't help but clutch his stomach and point at Huo Yunzhi mockingly.
Fangcao, standing to the side, felt so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head, but she dared not utter a single word of complaint.
After all, these people had been mocking Consort Lan, and then they were nowhere to be seen.
But she was different; if she went back, she would still be punished by the concubine.
Even if the princess dislikes Consort Lan, she wouldn't punish Consort Lan for the sake of a mere maid.
"That's right, who is Miss Cheng? She's the Empress's own sister!"
"Prince Lan Huai is just a leisurely prince, while the Cheng family not only produced an empress, but Lord Cheng is also a Grand Tutor."
"Haha, I don't know where this concubine came from, she's spouting nonsense."
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, and Huo Yunzhi's face turned ashen upon hearing this.
She never imagined that her actions today would make her nothing more than a clown in the eyes of these people.
"Consort, His Highness wants you to return immediately." At this moment, a servant from the Prince of Lanhuai's residence rushed to Huo Yunzhi's side and said.
Huo Yunzhi wanted to say something more, but the servant said forcefully, "His Highness said that if you don't go back, he will send you to reunite with your sister and brothers!" The servant's face was not good when he said this.
She thought to herself, "This Consort Lan really doesn't know what's good for her."
All she does is cause trouble. If I hadn't gone out on errands and happened to overhear people talking, I wouldn't have known that Consort Lan would be so bold as to come to Jubao Tower.
Now, hearing the whispers of others, the servant felt that Consort Lan was utterly inconsiderate.
"Consort, let's hurry back. This is Changsheng, the servant of the Prince." Fangcao quickly explained, afraid that Huo Yunzhi wouldn't recognize the servant. After all, Changsheng was a capable assistant to Prince Lanhuai.
Even the princess in the Lanhuai Prince's mansion had to give him some face.
Fangcao, a mere maidservant, dared not act presumptuously.
Huo Yunzhi wanted to say a few more words to Cheng Qingli, but as a member of the Lan Huai Prince's mansion, she still had to give the Lan Huai Prince some face.
Lanhuai Prince's Mansion
At this moment, Zhou Zuo led a chubby boy to King Lan Huai.
"Your Highness, guess who this person is?" Zhou Zuo asked Lan Huai Wang with a fawning expression.
"Who is it?" Lan Huaiwang asked, raising his eyelids slightly as he sipped his tea. He glanced at Zhou Zuo before continuing to drink his tea.
Changsheng just sent a message saying that Huo Lanzhi, that fool, was gambling with someone at Jubao Tower.
He was furious, thinking to himself, "She's just a lowly merchant's daughter, how dare she gamble with a bunch of men."
At this time, King Lan Huai was unaware that Huo Yunzhi had already gambled away everything Huo Yunxuan had left him.
"Your Highness, this chubby boy is the heir apparent of Prince An," Zhou Zuo said excitedly.
At this moment, the chubby boy, who was tied up, twisted unhappily, but since his mouth was gagged, he could only make muffled noises.
