Gu Yundong felt that she was too understanding and even gave him a way out.
But Marquis Pingnan did not want to get down at all. However, Shao Qingyuan had already helped Gu Yundong sit down. The two of them slowly drank their tea and waited patiently for him to recall.
Marquis Pingnan took a deep breath. Just as he was considering whether to admit or deny it, the butler came over again. "Marquis, the royal prince is here."
Marquis Pingnan: "..."
Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong were speechless. That guy was going to cause trouble again.
The three of them looked out together. After a while, they saw Yi Zilan coming in with a fan. "It’s so lively."
Marquis Pingnan took a deep breath. After a long while, he forced a smile. "Why is Your Highness here?"
"Oh, I went to the Shao residence to look for the two of them." He pointed at Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong.
The two people behind him looked at him numbly.
Yi Zilan smiled and said, "In the end, when we arrived at the Shao Residence, we found out that they had come to look for you and said that they wanted the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus. Then I thought that I was the one who set the challenge and was a witness. How could I not be present? If they took the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus and ended up saying that you didn’t give it to them, you would be in deep trouble."
He made it sound like he had a huge responsibility.
Marquis Pingnan couldn’t even squeeze out a smile. At this juncture, if he continued denying it, it would only be embarrassing.
The Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus would have to be given out sooner or later. Since that was the case, there was no need to cause more trouble.
Besides, so what if he gave it to her? He would settle scores with Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong sooner or later. At that time, wouldn’t the herbs be back in his hands?
Hence, Marquis Pingnan took a deep breath. "I just remembered that I did instruct someone to bring the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus back. I forgot about it previously. I’ll bring it over now. Please take a seat."
Yi Zilan waved his hand. "Go, go."
After Marquis Pingnan left, only the three of them were left in the hall.
Gu Yundong glared at Yi Zilan and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Didn’t I say just now? I’m here to be a witness."
Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong looked at him expressionlessly, their eyes shining with disbelief.
Yi Zilan shrugged. "If you don’t believe me, forget it."
After that, he stopped talking.
After a long time, Marquis Pingnan returned with a box in his hand. He pursed his lips and entered the hall.
After placing the box on the table, Marquis Pingnan opened the lid. "This is the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus."
Shao Qingyuan was a doctor. He had always been cautious. He took two steps forward and checked for a moment.
"Indeed." With that, he closed the lid and carried it to Gu Yundong’s side. "Marquis, you’re straightforward. Since you’ve given us this Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, the previous bet is completely over. The royal prince will be a witness. We guarantee that we won’t come to ask for it again in the future."
"...Okay."
Shao Qingyuan cupped his hands. "Goodbye."
He didn’t want to stay here any longer. After all, there was still Yi Zilan, who was unpredictable.
Marquis Pingnan also wanted to quickly send these pestilences away, so he didn’t even bother with pleasantries and directly sent them off.
The three of them finally stopped outside the Han residence.
Shao Qingyuan looked at Yi Zilan sharply. "Why are you here, Your Highness?"
Yi Zilan chuckled. The next moment, a figure appeared in front of Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong.
"Princess Yongjia, long time no see."
