Chapter 40

I, Shen Liu’an, Will Make Huo Junhan Pay!

Just as Shen Liu’an was about to go forward and forcefully leave with Shen Yaowei, Zi Yun stopped him. “General, since Miss wants to be here, let her be.”

Shen Liu’an turned to look at Zi Yun with a puzzled expression.

“His Highness Li saved Miss at the palace banquet the day before yesterday. If not for His Highness Li, Miss might not have been able to prove her innocence,” Zi Yun said softly.

Shen Liu’an’s pupils constricted.

Something so big had happened.

Feeling the monstrous killing intent emanating from Shen Liu’an, Zi Yun said, “General, let’s go back first. I’ll explain the situation to you on the way.”

Shen Liu’an turned to look at Yan Bei.

Yan Bei smiled awkwardly at Shen Liu’an.

Other than Huo Junhan, the general in front of him was the second person he respected and feared.

“If my youngest daughter suffers any grievances or is injured here, I, Shen Liu’an, will make Huo Junhan pay the price even if I have to risk my life!” After saying that, Shen Liu’an flicked his sleeves and left.

Zi Yun quickly followed him.

After leaving the palace, Zi Yun sat in the carriage and briefly told Shen Liu’an what had happened at the palace banquet.

Bang—

Shen Liu’an directly punched the short table, his handsome face filled with gloom.

“How dare Princess Baohua!”

How dare she scheme against his precious daughter? He would definitely not let her off!

“General, Miss has been extremely simple-minded since she was young. Under your guidance, Miss also knows how to repay kindness. I think Miss chose to stay there to repay His Highness,” Zi Yun said slowly. “You should support Miss for doing the right thing.”

Shen Liu’an listened and said nothing.

Because Yaoyao was extremely simple-minded and her mind was no different from that of a seven- or eight-year-old child, it was harder for him to teach her. He often taught her by example.

This time, Yaoyao was indeed doing the right thing.

But when he thought of Yaoyao and Huo Junhan together, his heart felt like it had been soaked in vinegar.

It was unbearably sour.

“Huo Zhao didn’t help Yaoyao at the banquet, right?” Shen Liu’an asked slowly after a while.

“Prince Zhao didn’t help Miss. He even said bad things about her.” Zi Yun’s tone was filled with disgust at the mention of Huo Zhao.

“If it weren’t for his indulgence, how would other women dare to bully Yaoyao?” Shen Liu’an’s fists were clenched tightly and he was already unbearably hungry for blood. “Coachman, turn around and go to Prince Zhao’s residence!”

He would settle the score with Huo Zhao first!

A moment later, in Prince Zhao’s residence.

The room was filled with a thick and ambiguous aura. Clothes were scattered all over the ground.

Just as Huo Zhao was feeling excited, there was a sudden knock on the door.

“Your Highness, General Shen is here.”

Huo Zhao suddenly stopped what he was doing and almost fell off the bed.

Beside him, Yu Linlang instantly woke up with a terrified expression. “Your Highness… What should we do? If my uncle finds out that I’m here, there’s no way to explain myself.”

“I won’t let him discover you.” Huo Zhao kissed Yu Linlang’s face. “Stay in this room obediently. I’ll go see him.”

With that, Huo Zhao got off the bed.

Shen Liu’an did not enter the flower hall either. He stood in the front yard and waited for Huo Zhao, holding the black horse whip he had taken from the coachman.

When he heard Huo Zhao’s smiling voice from behind, he suddenly turned around.

“General Shen, why are you here? I’m…”

Before Huo Zhao could finish, he saw the black horse whip coming at him like a wyrm and felt the forceful whip on his body.

When the palace guards saw that Shen Liu’an had attacked, they immediately surrounded him.

Huo Zhao’s arm was whipped and his skin immediately split open. He forced himself not to cry out and only glared gloomily at Shen Liu’an.

“What are you looking at? Prince Zhao, the Emperor personally said that if you dare to bully Yaoyao, I can teach you a lesson myself.” Despite being surrounded by guards, Shen Liu’an still looked at Huo Zhao disdainfully.

If his daughter did not like Huo Zhao, he, Shen Liu’an, would not care about him at all!
