Chapter 866

Meanwhile, the Huo and Shen families hurriedly left.

On the way back, Huo Zhao sat with Zhong Jie.

Zhong Jie said, "That concubine is no good. Why don't you go back home first and wait until the Shen family has settled things before you go back?"

Right now, Zhong Jie is so angry that she doesn't even have time to vent her anger; all she wants to do is protect Huo Zhao as much as possible.

Huo Zhao shook his head and said, "I'm already married, Mother. How can I expect you to stand up for me in everything?"

Her words, and it's unclear which word hurt Zhong Jie, but they brought tears to Zhong Jie's eyes: "I am your mother, of course I will stand up for you. Do you think I can rely on anyone else? Zhao Zhao, I can protect you, believe me."

Huo Zhao was at a loss and quickly grasped Zhong Jie's hand: "Mother, that's not what I meant. I meant that I am your daughter, and cooking such a small thing is nothing to me, really."

Zhong Jie became uneasy because of her words, but calmed down again because of her words.

Yes, Huo Zhao is her child, so naturally no one can bully him at will.

“...Alright,” Zhong Jie said, “Anyway, the Huo family and the Chen family are both in Luoyang now. If you have anything to say, just go home and talk to them. Although we can’t openly disobey the Empress’s decree, our family won’t let others suppress us at will.”

Huo Zhao smiled and nodded: "I understand, Mother."

The carriage traveled all the way back to Luoyang and arrived at the gate of the Marquis's residence.

Although Zhong Jie was still worried, she did not leave Water Mom behind as usual.

She believed in Huo Zhao.

However, seeing that Shen Rang and Huo Zhao had another person by their side, Zhong Jie still couldn't stand it.

Seeing Huo Zhaochao wave to himself, Zhong Jie nodded, lowered the curtain, and left.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Watching the Prince's carriage leave, Huo Zhao glanced sideways at Chen Rang.

Madam Zheng spoke first: "Zhaozhao, let's go back and talk about this slowly. We can explain it."

This is, after all, the main gate; it's not appropriate to talk about such things.

Huo Zhao understood this principle, so they went back together.

Back at Rongxi Hall, Shen Jun was also there.

That's perfect, Zheng only needs to say it once.

After listening to Zheng finish recounting what happened at the polo match, Huo Zhao's expression stiffened, but Shen Jun's face flashed with obvious joy.

This is a good thing!

Who wouldn't want their descendants to flourish?

Shen Rang was originally an only child, and now he has Shen Nianchu, which is naturally good. But when it comes to children, isn't it always better to have more?

He originally thought Qi Jing was a good person, and he was worried about how to persuade Shen Rang to take Qi Jing into the Marquis's mansion. Unexpectedly, he got the matter settled after going to the polo match!

Shen Jun was about to speak, but seeing that Zheng Shi and Shen Rang's expressions were not good, he had no choice but to shut up and observe how things would develop.

At this moment, neither Madam Zheng nor Shen Rang spoke, but instead looked at Huo Zhao.

Shen Jun also looked at Huo Zhao, but unlike the mother and son, Shen Jun was quite calm and composed.

Anyway, it was the Empress's will to let Qi Jing enter the manor. So what if Huo Zhao is a princess? Can she disobey the Empress's decree?

His idea is good.

Huo Zhao indeed could not.

“In that case, it’s not appropriate for her to continue living in the North Courtyard,” Huo Zhao said. “There are many empty rooms in the South Courtyard, so let her move there.”

Madam Zheng sighed: "Zhaozhao, if you don't want to, then let her stay in the North Courtyard. Anyway, we've already let her into the Marquis's mansion's backyard, so it's not considered disobeying orders."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jun became anxious.

This concubine was given to Shen Rang by the Empress, how can she live in the North Courtyard?

What kind of mess is this?

Huo Zhao glanced at Shen Jun, shook his head and said, "This is not appropriate. Let's settle him in the South Courtyard instead."
