Chapter 751

Zhong Jie was dressed as neatly as ever, as if she wasn't going to the palace today, but just going somewhere to have fun.

"Mother."

Huo Zhao got up and went downstairs. When he saw that Madam Chen was also there, his eyes lit up even more: "Mother, you've come too!"

Madam Chen smiled and said, "You haven't been back for a long time, my dear girl. If I hadn't come this time, I don't know when I would have seen you again!"

"It hasn't been that long. I haven't been back for half a month."

"Half a month is not a short time?" Zhong Jie said irritably. "You can't do this again next time!"

Huo Zhao nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand, I'll go back in a couple of days."

“I think you’ll have to come back tomorrow,” Madam Chen said. “The Prince’s Mansion got a huge pile of crabs today. Don’t you love eating them? And they’re all big crabs.”

Huo Zhao's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Shen Rang: "Then shall we go back to the Prince's Mansion to stay today?"

That way, she can still eat two before bed.

Shen Rang chuckled: "I'll listen to you."

Zhong Jie couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the atmosphere became harmonious.

But just then, two untimely coughs suddenly rang out.

Following the sound, everyone looked and saw the old lady standing not far away, looking at Huo Zhao with displeasure.

Huo Zhao blinked, wondering what the old lady was up to this time.

Soon, Cuizhi, the old lady's maid, stepped forward and said, "As a junior, how can we not help our elders get off the carriage? Put aside filial piety for now, what if the old lady falls?"

Shen Rang's eyes turned cold: "What do you mean, 'what to do'? If Grandmother falls, it's because you, her maid, haven't taken good care of her."

Zhong Jie frowned and gently tugged at Huo Zhao's hand: "This is..."

Huo Zhao glanced at the old lady, and suddenly an idea came to him.

She shook her head and sighed, pulled away from Zhong Jie's hand, and curtsied to the old lady, saying, "It was my fault for not thinking things through, please forgive me, Grandmother."

As she spoke, she walked a few steps to the old lady's side and obediently took the old lady's arm.

Shen Rang's eyes widened immediately.

What's going on here?!

The old lady has been living at home for quite some time now. Although Huo Zhao never provokes her, he can hardly get any benefits when she comes to visit.

But now, why is Huo Zhao so obedient?!

Zheng's reaction was exactly the same as Shen Rang's. She looked at Huo Zhao as if she had seen a ghost, and even began to think in her heart whether she should go back and ask a master to draw a talisman to exorcise the evil spirit for Huo Zhao.

Compared to the shock of Madam Zheng and Shen Rang, Zhong Jie and Madam Chen exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with anger.

What is that?!

So what if she's Huo Zhao's grandmother? She never gave birth to Huo Zhao, nor did she raise him for even a day! Why should Huo Zhao treat her with such respect?!

Besides, Huo Zhao is the apple of their eyes, not a maidservant!

The two grew angrier the more they thought about it, but over there, Huo Zhao had already walked away, supporting the old lady's arm.

Shen Rang subconsciously wanted to take a step to follow, but as soon as he took a step, a hand landed on his shoulder.

He turned his head and met Huo Shu's murderous gaze: "What's going on?"

Shen Rang tugged at his lips.

He now understood why Huo Zhao had suddenly become so obedient.

He's a living ancestor.

But... that's fine too.

Shen Rang sighed, shook his head, and caught up with Huo Zhao's figure.

Zhong Jie and Madam Chen exchanged glances, then started walking together.

Let's take another look.
