Chapter 40 - Prince Consort

Huo Chenan drove a carriage to Qin Wushuang's former residence.

Before he entered the alley, he heard someone calling him from behind.

"Mr. Huo?"

Huo Chenan looked back and found that it was Yun'er, Qin Wushuang's former maid.

"Yun'er, what are you doing?" Huo Chenan greeted her enthusiastically.

Yun'er pointed to her empty carriage and said, "I went to deliver wine. I sold more than ten jars of wine today. I really want to thank you, Mr. Huo!"

"What are you thanking me for? I made money too. This is a win-win situation for both of us!" Huo Chenan said nonchalantly.

"What do you mean by win-win?" Yun'er asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"You make money, and I make money too." Huo Chenan explained, and then asked, "Is your young lady at home?"

"Yeah," Yun'er nodded, and said hesitantly, "Mr. Huo, are you here to see my young lady?"

Huo Chenan was stunned, not knowing why Yun'er asked this, and said, "I'm here to get some wine, and I'm here to see you and Miss Wushuang."

Yun'er hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Huo, my young lady has been like a lost soul since she came back from the Wu Wang Mansion the day before yesterday. She has no appetite, and looks listless all day long, crying from time to time. I asked her the reason, but she didn't tell me, and just kept crying."

Huo Chenan was also surprised when he heard this, because he didn't find anything unusual when he saw Qin Wushuang that day.

Yun'er continued, "Mr. Huo, when you see my young lady later, can you give her some advice? You are our great benefactor, and I think... your words will definitely be heard by her."

Huo Chen'an nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try it later. Don't worry, take care of yourself before you can take care of your young lady."

The little maid felt warm in her heart and thought that Mr. Huo was really a good man.

Huo Chen'an naturally didn't know that Yun'er had given him a good person card. As they talked, the two of them entered the Qin family's courtyard one after the other.

Just as she was about to push the door open and enter the house, she heard the voice of a man talking and the voice of a woman crying from the house.

"Wushuang, I'm sorry. I failed you." Chen Shimei said with a sad face.

Qin Wushuang turned his head away and sobbed softly. He had been crying all day for the past two days, and his eyes were swollen from crying, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing.

How many times had she told herself that it was not worth it for this unfaithful man, but how could the beauty of the past be let go so easily?

"Wushuang, don't cry. My heart hurts when I see you crying." Chen Shimei covered his chest with a look of deep pain.

"Wushuang, don't do this. You scold me, hit me, and vent all the pain in your heart on me. Don't hurt yourself anymore." Chen Shimei said as he walked in front of Wushuang, held Wushuang's arm, pulled her hand and slapped it on himself.

Qin Wushuang, a weak woman, was not as strong as him, a big man. She struggled twice but couldn't get her hand free.

Seeing that Wushuang was not struggling fiercely, Chen Shimei continued, "Wushuang, listen to me, I have my own difficulties. The princess has taken a fancy to me, and the emperor has personally granted me a marriage. If I don't obey, I will be disobeying the emperor's order. To be honest, if it weren't for seeing you again, I would not want to let you down even if I die. I have been thinking about you all the time these years, and the beautiful memories we once had."

He became more and more excited as he spoke, and his breathing became heavier. He suddenly hugged Qin Wushuang and said, "Wushuang, do you know how much I miss you? Do you know how much I love you? Give me, give me everything you have."

As he was about to kiss Wushuang, Wushuang reacted from her panic and began to struggle desperately, shouting, "Help! Help!"

With a bang, the door was kicked open by someone, and Chen Shimei was almost impotent by the loud noise.

He quickly let go of Qin Wushuang and tidied his clothes.

Qin Wushuang saw that the person coming was Huo Chenan followed by Yun'er, so she hid behind Huo Chenan and started sobbing again.

Chen Shimei saw that the person coming was a servant and a maid, and thought that Qin Wushuang's servants had returned, so he immediately used his status as the consort to pressure them: "I am the consort of Princess Zhaoning, and an old acquaintance of Miss Wushuang. There is nothing to do here, you two should leave quickly!"

Huo Chenan saw that he was handsome and had a good appearance, but why did he not do anything even though he looked like a human being?

Although Huo Chenan rarely watched dramas, he was still familiar with the classic plot of "The Case of the Execution of the Beauty". Chen Shimei abandoned his wife and children, and for his own fame and fortune, he did not hesitate to harm his first wife Qin Xianglian. He really did all kinds of bad things. In the end, the evidence was conclusive, and he died under Bao Longtu's dragon head guillotine.

Although the story of Chen Shimei in front of him is different from that of the case of Chen Shimei being beheaded, he is still a treacherous villain.

Huo Chenan looked at him coldly and said, "Get lost."

Chen Shimei looked at Huo Chenan in disbelief. He always felt that this servant looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

"Humph!" He snorted coldly, walked slowly in front of Huo Chenan, and said with contempt, "It's not your turn as a servant to interrupt the matter between me and your lady."

"Ah!" The next moment, Chen Shimei cried miserably, and fell to the ground with his crotch covered in pain. Huo Chenan slowly retracted his foot.

"If you don't let me interrupt, then I can only do it. Try not to talk too much in the future."

Everything happened too quickly, Qin Wushuang and Yun'er didn't react, and the current prince consort was kicked out of his family.

Chen Shimei grimaced in pain and sweated profusely. Huo Chenan slowly squatted down and said to him, "Remember, the one who beat you was a man from Jiangning County. I'll be there for you anytime if you want revenge. Also, don't bother Miss Wushuang again, or I'll beat you every time I see you, and give you a copy of the Sunflower Manual."

"A man from Jiangning County" Hearing this, Chen Shimei remembered that the servant in front of him was Huo Chenan, who had saved the King of Wu's birthday the day before yesterday. Although he didn't know what the Sunflower Manual meant, it shouldn't be a good thing.

He fell to the ground and groaned for a long time before he recovered. He got up with difficulty, and his eyes like a venomous snake swept through the people present, and finally stopped at Huo Chenan and said: "Jiangning County man, I remember the humiliation today, and I will repay it double in the future." Huo Chenan sneered and said: "Huo is waiting for you here." Watching Chen Shimei limping out of the Qin family, Qin Wushuang felt mixed emotions in her heart. She had never imagined that her "Mr. Chen" was such a person. Not only did he let her down, but he also wanted to do something wrong to her. Now Wushuang completely gave up on this scumbag, and then she couldn't help but worry about Huo Chenan, after all, this scumbag was the current emperor's son-in-law.
