The girl had a sweet smile on her face and watched the show without saying a word until Yu Linlang was forcefully dragged away by Shen Yifeng and Shen Yuqing.
In order to attract attention, the Shen brothers deliberately didn’t send Yu Linlang back in a carriage. Instead, they held her arm along the way and pulled her towards Prince Zhao’s Mansion.
Shen Yifeng and Shen Yuqing were extraordinary to begin with. Coupled with the fact that they were holding on to Prince Zhao, this combination attracted the curiosity of the commoners on the way.
“What’s going on? Why are the Shen brothers dragging Prince Zhao’s concubine? This is outrageous.”
“I think there must be a reason that Prince Zhao’s secondary consort was dragged away. If you hadn’t said so, I would have thought that the Shen brothers were dragging the criminal along.”
“I followed her all the way from the General’s Mansion. I heard that the secondary consort went to the kitchen of the General’s Mansion to secretly eat, so I was dragged all the way here!”
“Hahahaha, why is a concubine so useless? Don’t tell me that Prince Zhao didn’t even give her anything to eat in the prince’s residence!”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. How embarra.s.sing. If I had such a secondary consort, I would kill myself.”
Someone in the crowd said something that successfully caused the people around them to laugh.
Yu Linlang struggled for a long time, but to no avail. She had long stopped struggling. Her face was green and white until it was so red that it was almost bleeding!
Embarra.s.sing. Its too embarra.s.sing. I’ve never been humiliated like this in my life!
Fortunately, at this time, His Highness shouldn’t be in the residence.
Yu Linlang couldn’t help but feel glad, but she never expected that when she was dragged all the way to Prince Zhao’s Mansion, Huo Zhao happened to return.
Seeing Huo Zhao’s carriage stop steadily at the entrance of Prince Zhao’s Mansion, Yu Linlang’s legs softened.
Shen Yifeng’s eyes lit up, and he greeted Huo Zhao loudly.
Huo Zhao got off the carriage and looked over. He was surprised for a moment before his expression darkened. “Shen Yifeng, Shen Yuqing, Linlang is my official concubine. Her name has already entered the jade archive. How dare you treat her like this? Are you looking down on me or the royal family?!” “Prince Zhao, you’re being too harsh. Everything should be based on reason. Instead of getting angry, it would be better to first inquire about what your concubine has been up to in the General’s Mansion.” Shen Yuqing remained calm, wearing a smile that seemed both genuine and cunning as he looked at Huo Zhuo.
Only then did Huo Zhao realize that Yu Linlang had been silent since just now and hadn’t even shouted for help from him. A bad feeling rose in his heart. “Linlang, tell me if you have any grievances. I will definitely stand up for you.”
“Secondary Consort Zhao is too embarra.s.sed to say anything, so let me do it.” Shen Yifeng glanced at her from the corner of his eye and looked at the surrounding people who were watching the show with satisfaction. He said clearly, “After Secondary Consort Zhao arrived at our General’s Mansion, she actually went to the kitchen to steal food while we were unprepared. Coincidentally, we happened to pa.s.s by at that time and caught her in the act. We specially brought Secondary Consort Zhao over to ask Prince Zhao for compensation.”
When Huo Zhao heard this, he revealed an incredulous expression. “What did you say? Steal food?!”
He had also thought that Yu Linlang might have had a conflict with Shen Yaowei before being brought back by the Shen brothers.
In the end, he never expected Yu Linlang to be caught red-handed because she had been a thief in the General’s Mansion!
Hearing the whispers from the surrounding crowd, Huo Zhao was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He wished he could immediately abandon Yu Linlang and turn around to leave!
But he couldn’t. As her husband, he couldn’t leave his secondary consort behind and run away.
Not to mention that the Shen brothers had brought people to stand at the entrance of Prince Zhao’s Mansion. He couldn’t let them keep showing off at the entrance of the Prince’s Mansion!
“Linlang, tell me, did you really do these things?” Huo Zhao held onto his remaining hope and suppressed the anger in his heart as he asked..
