Chapter 574
Shen Rang hadn't rested much on his way back to Luoyang, and his complexion was visibly bad, almost as bad as Yun Xi's when she left Luoyang after giving birth.
Yunxi was worried that he wouldn't be able to hold on, so she urged him to go back and rest.
Not wanting Yunxi to worry, Shen Rang had no choice but to leave as she wished, and made an appointment to come again the next day.
When he left the Prince of Yunnan's residence, Shen Rang's steps were so light that he almost flew.
Seeing him like this, Jing Yuan and Jing Er, who had been on tenterhooks the whole way, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But he breathed a sigh of relief too soon.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered the Marquis's residence, they saw Shen Jun waiting in the front hall, clearly ready to interrogate them.
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Rang entered the room, Shen Jun's words came crashing down on him—
"You unfilial son! Where have you run off to?!"
"Do you know that His Majesty is about to promote you? The eunuch who was supposed to deliver the decree has already come, but look what happened! The duck that was about to be eaten has flown away!"
Thinking about this gave Shen Jun a headache.
He'd lived half his life, and this was the first time he'd ever seen anything like it!
Moreover, Shen Rang's situation is all because of that woman!
Thinking of Yunxi, a fierce glint flashed in Shen Jun's eyes: "You've lost your mind time and time again for that woman. I don't want to talk about what happened before, but this time, do you know what you've missed?!"
Seeing the undisguised disgust on Shen Jun's face, Shen Rang felt a chill run through her heart.
He bluntly confessed: "Does Father know why I can handle matters in Jiangnan so quickly and well?"
Shen Jun didn't know.
"It's because of Xi'er."
Shen Rang said, "Xi'er's adoptive father is an old acquaintance of a powerful old man in Suzhou. If it weren't for Xi'er's connection, why would he help me?"
Yunxi's adoptive father is Xun Ze.
If it were that person, they would indeed have such ability.
Shen Jun's expression darkened for a moment, then he said, "So what? You made it to Suzhou all by yourself this time. Even if you received some help, is your contribution insignificant?"
“Since Father didn’t help me at all in the first place, he doesn’t need to worry about this matter.”
After saying that, Shen Rang walked straight past him.
Watching his retreating figure, Shen Jun was angry, but he felt mostly helpless.
Shen Rang has grown up.
He was no longer the son who used to treat his words as gospel and never resisted him no matter what he said.
However, there is one thing that cannot be ignored.
“His Highness the Crown Prince has sent word that the Crown Princess wants to have a grandson,” Shen Jun said. “His Highness the Crown Prince wants you to hurry up and make it happen.”
Don't count on me.
Shen Rang's steps did not falter at all.
Seeing him leave, Shen Jun was speechless for a moment.
Shen Jun's attitude towards the Crown Prince is no longer the same as before.
So what if he's the Crown Prince's daughter? Shen Rang's only problem is his humble origins. In terms of ability, how many people in the entire Luoyang City can be better than him?
Moreover, Shen Rang is currently favored by the emperor, so even the crown prince would find it difficult to remove him.
So, who cares?
Shen Jun's only major concern right now is Yun Xi.
——
Yunwan has been having a tough time lately.
Since Xiao Mu left Liuyun Garden, so many days have passed, and there hasn't been a single word from him.
Yunwan sent people out to investigate, but there was still no news.
Xiao Mu seemed to have never existed; he simply vanished without a trace.
If Yun Wan hadn't remembered the joy he brought her, she probably would have thought that Xiao Mu had never existed in this world.
Seeing that Yun Wan was uneasy, Pearl said, "Young Madam, Xiao Mu is very skilled, he will be fine, so please don't worry."
Yun Wan sighed: "Of course I know, but it's been so long..."
Just then, news came from outside that Shen Rang had returned.
In an instant, Yun Wan's worries about Xiao Mu's disappearance dissipated considerably.
She couldn't wait to see Shen Rang's reaction.
She thought about it and did it.
