Chapter 30 So this is what it feels like to be a child
[Kids should all like to eat popcorn. Although there is no juice or cola now, it is also good to pair it with tea. ]
Song Ye: …
A child? He hadn't been a child for a long time.
Before coming to see Chen Huazheng, Zhou Ying had given him some cryptic "tip". At the time, he didn't understand what Zhou Ying meant, but now he couldn't understand that what he had just heard should be what Chen Huazheng was thinking.
Song Ye was worthy of being the youngest scholar in Daliang. He figured it out after thinking about it a little.
The opportunity to hear Shen Huazheng's inner voice should be the blood relationship.
In other words, everyone in the Shen family and the Zhou family can hear Shen Huazheng’s thoughts.
The reason why Zhou Ying didn't say it explicitly, but only gave a vague "hint" was probably because she was not sure whether Song Ye could hear Shen Huazheng's inner thoughts.
She was worried that if she spoke out rashly, it would reveal the secret of Shen Huazheng and have a bad influence on her.
Song Ye picked up a piece of popcorn and felt his fingertips were slightly sticky.
He frowned slightly and put the popcorn into his mouth.
As soon as Song Ye put the popcorn in his mouth, he was stunned.
With a light bite of teeth, the popcorn burst instantly, crispy and crumbly. The novel texture and sweet taste surprised Song Ye.
After swallowing the popcorn in his mouth, Song Ye unconsciously ate a few more.
“The popcorn is delicious.”
As a senior cooking enthusiast, what Shen Huazheng likes to hear most is the affirmation from those who are being fed.
"Eat more if you like. I made a lot."
[As expected, all children like to eat popcorn. Since Ye'er likes to eat popcorn, he should also like potato chips. ]
"Okay." Song Ye raised his eyes and a smile suddenly broke out on his face.
When he smiled, the aloof and arrogant temperament on his body instantly disappeared, and he became warm and clean like a willow in the spring moon.
So this is what it feels like to be treated as a child. It’s so nice.

While Shen Huazheng's side was relaxed and warm, the atmosphere in the main hall was solemn.
Grand Tutor Zhou picked up the teacup and took a sip. "What do you, the Song family, plan to do with that woman?"
Song Zhichen wanted to speak, but after being glared at by Duke Weiguo, he shut up obediently.
Duke Weiguo looked at Grand Tutor Zhou and Zhou Cheng'an somewhat embarrassedly.
"Mr. Zhou, I am really ashamed. This kind of thing should have been dealt with earlier. But the woman is already pregnant. When she gives birth, she will definitely..."
Everyone present understood the implication of Duke Weiguo's words, which was that he intended to kill the mother and keep the son.
However, the Zhou family was not satisfied with this answer.
Not to mention the woman's background, even the child in her belly has no name or status, so the child should not be kept!
Regardless of whether the prostitute was finally kept or not, the existence of that child was a slap in the face of Zhou Ying and Song Ye.
Grand Tutor Zhou had already made up his mind and was unwilling to continue dealing with Duke Weiguo. "Since that's the case, let's get a divorce."
"What? Divorce?!" Before Duke Wei could respond, Song Zhichen jumped up. "I don't agree."
Isn't it just taking a concubine? Why did it suddenly come to the point of divorce?
Duke Weiguo was also stunned. He did not expect the Zhou family to directly propose a divorce.
Although he couldn't stand Song Zhichen's fooling around, he valued the Song family's offspring. Since the woman was pregnant with Song Zhichen's child, she had to give birth to it.
Duke Weiguo would not allow any woman to threaten the status of Zhou Ying and her son. No matter what time, Zhou Ying would be the only mistress of Duke Weiguo's mansion.
What's more, Song Ye is already the crown prince. Even if the child is born, Song Ye's position as the crown prince will still be secure.
There are countless such things happening among the rich and powerful, but I have never heard of one leading to divorce.
Could it be that in order to prevent Zhou Ying from suffering any injustice, the Zhou family completely disregarded the lives of other unmarried women in the family?
The Duke of Weiguo really didn't understand what Grand Tutor Zhou was thinking.
