Chapter 518

"Did Prince Lanhuai do anything to the Ninth Princess Consort?" Zhang Yanchu frowned tightly upon hearing this. This Prince Lanhuai and his daughter were really something. The daughter provoked Shangguan Mu, while the father brought the princess back to his mansion.

What on earth was he up to?

"I don't know about that, sir." Shen Chen shook his head without hesitation.

He really didn't hear the rest of the story.

Zhang Yanchu frowned upon hearing this.

Inside the room, Shangguan Mu had a dark face.

At that time, he was only focused on competing with Zhang Yanchu and really forgot about Shangguan Yun.

He never expected that Shangguan Yun would be taken away.

"Did that man do anything to you?" Shangguan Mu gritted his teeth and asked Shangguan Yun.

"Brother, what do you think? You've been away from the capital of Lannuo Kingdom for as long as I've been kept in that man's mansion. What do you think a weak woman like me could do?" Shangguan Yun looked at Shangguan Mu sarcastically.

Prince Lanhuai actually didn't do anything to her.

She also knew what Shangguan Mu wanted to hear, but she just wouldn't let him have his way.

Since she didn't want to stay in Lannuo Kingdom, telling a little lie wouldn't hurt. Anyway, no one here knew her.

When she returned to Qinling Kingdom, she would naturally find a way to explain this matter clearly.

"Didn't your servant stay in the capital? Why didn't she come to look for you?" Shangguan Mu punched the air in dissatisfaction.

He thought it was all the fault of Shangguan Yun's maid, A Nan, for not finding her mistress in time.

"Brother, don't you remember? You told me not to bring anyone with me. Where could A Nan look for me?" Shangguan Yun asked sarcastically.

"Are you stupid? Prince Lanhuai is old enough to be your father, and you still went with him?" After saying this, Shangguan Mu thought to himself that it must be so. This matter couldn't be blamed on him.

If anyone was to blame, it was Shangguan Yun for being too stupid.

"Brother, this isn't our Qinling Kingdom." Shangguan Yun naturally knew what Shangguan Mu was angry about.

But so what? She wouldn't let him have his way.

"Get out!" Shangguan Mu angrily threw the teacup beside the bed.

"Brother, since Prince Lanhuai treated me like this, if you don't avenge me, others might think that our Qinling Kingdom is easy to bully, right?" After saying this, Shangguan Yun turned around and walked out of the room.

As soon as Shangguan Yun stepped out of the door, she bumped into Zhang Yanchu.

"Greetings to the Ninth Princess Consort!" Zhang Yanchu lowered his eyes and bowed to Shangguan Yun.

He seemed very distant.

"Are you General Zhang?" Shangguan Yun looked at Zhang Yanchu, who was on guard against her, and felt a little annoyed.

She wasn't a flood or a beast. Why did he have to be so defensive against her?

"I wonder if the princess has any orders?" Zhang Yanchu could naturally feel Shangguan Yun's scrutinizing gaze.

However, he was also a little curious. Would Shangguan Yun really submit to Prince Lanhuai?

Zhang Yanchu didn't think that a princess of Qinling Kingdom would be so cowardly.

"Orders? Of course, I wouldn't dare. But your prince in Lannuo Kingdom has bullied this princess. Shouldn't you give this princess an explanation?" Shangguan Yun changed her gentle demeanor and spoke with the arrogance of a high - ranking princess.

Obviously, Shangguan Yun was also disgusted by Prince Lanhuai.

"I'll definitely report this matter to our emperor." Zhang Yanchu cursed Prince Lanhuai and his daughter in his heart, but still smiled and said to Shangguan Yun.

Shangguan Yun obviously didn't expect Zhang Yanchu to give a definite answer at this time.

So she led A Nan and left directly.

"Princess, did that scoundrel really bully you?" A Nan clenched her fists and was about to go find Prince Lanhuai to avenge her.

"A Nan!" Shangguan Yun scolded her dissatisfiedly.

She thought to herself that A Nan mustn't rush off to find that scoundrel.

After all, she wanted to use Prince Lanhuai to get out of this arranged marriage.

"Princess, you've never suffered such grievances before." As A Nan said this, tears welled up in her eyes and fell one by one.

Shangguan Yun sighed. She wanted to comfort A Nan, but didn't know what to say.

She didn't want to tell anyone about this matter for the time being.

"Help this princess get ready to rest." Shangguan Yun was really tired. After all, during her days in Prince Lanhuai's mansion, she hadn't slept well, always fearing that that stinky man would come to her.

Prince Lanhuai's Mansion

Xiaguang Courtyard

After Huo Yunzhi finished washing up, the young maid Lancao quickly had someone bring in the meals.

When Huo Yunzhi saw that the table was filled with all kinds of porridge, she couldn't help but frown.

"Concubine, you've just come out of the side courtyard. I'm afraid your stomach won't be able to take it, so I took the liberty of asking the kitchen to prepare some lean - meat porridge for you." Lancao quickly explained when she saw Huo Yunzhi's changing expression.

Hearing this, Huo Yunzhi, who had been frowning, relaxed.

She thought that after the hardships she had endured in the side courtyard recently, she really wasn't suitable for rich and fatty foods.

However, before Huo Yunzhi could say anything, Prince Lanhuai strode in.

"My dear!" Prince Lanhuai called out affectionately.

But when he saw the plain porridge on the table, his face immediately turned cold.

"Is this what you're feeding my concubine?" Prince Lanhuai angrily questioned.

"Please calm down, Your Highness." Lancao was so frightened that she quickly knelt down.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. Lancao did this for my own good. After all, I haven't been eating well in the side courtyard these days. If I suddenly eat rich and fatty foods, my body won't be able to bear it." Huo Yunzhi quickly knelt beside Lancao and pleaded weakly.

"My dear, I misunderstood you. You've thought it through. Get up." Seeing that Huo Yunzhi was already clean and presentable, Prince Lanhuai quickly reached out to help her up.

After all, he didn't really care about Huo Yunzhi. He just wanted to get information from her.

"Thank ​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‍you, Your Highness." Huo Yunzhi said in a soft and delicate voice.

"You're my concubine. How can you call yourself a humble concubine?" Prince Lanhuai said with an affectionate look.

"I dare not." Actually, Huo Yunzhi was also a little curious. She had been in this Xiaguang Courtyard for half a day, but why hadn't Princess Fuan come to cause trouble for her?

After all, this Xiaguang Courtyard was the one Princess Fuan wanted. How could she tolerate her living here?

"Your Highness, perhaps I should go back to the side courtyard. If the princess knows I'm here, she'll surely be unhappy." Huo Yunzhi pleaded with Prince Lanhuai.

"You're my concubine. Where you live is up to me." When Prince Lanhuai thought of Princess Fuan, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

A young girl trying to meddle in her father's harem. What would people think if word got out?

However, Prince Lanhuai also had a headache. Huo Yunzhi was obviously very afraid of the mansion now.

It might not be easy to get her to talk about what Huo Yunxuan had said about the iron ore.

Thinking of this, Prince Lanhuai decided to take more drastic measures with Huo Yunzhi.

Didn't she want the position of concubine?

He'd give it to her.

Wasn't it just a matter of adding her name to the genealogy?

He'd do it. He thought that Huo Yunzhi would surely be grateful to him then.
