Chapter 735
Shen Rang then asked him to add a few more courtyards for decoration.
Upon hearing this, the old lady's face flashed with surprise: "How can a perfectly good house be uninhabitable? Are you saying this on purpose because you don't want to live with this old woman?"
"No, that's not true. I'm not lying to Grandmother. If you don't mind that the house is drafty, you can certainly live there."
The old lady was taken aback by Shen Rang's rudeness and was speechless for a moment. She could only look away angrily.
Shen Rang certainly knew that it was wrong to treat his grandmother this way.
However, Shen Rang was not actually close to his grandmother. If he had to choose between Huo Zhao and his grandmother, he would choose Huo Zhao without even thinking.
Shen Jun, standing to the side, breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
On one hand, she was glad that Shen Rang wasn't as foolish as she used to be, but on the other hand, she was even more dissatisfied with her past self.
This incident alone is enough to show that over the years, the Zheng family has been incredibly tolerant of him.
But now, I can't afford to mess things up again.
Shen Jun quickly said, "Mother, you must be tired from your journey. Why don't you rest for a while? We can talk about it properly when we have dinner tonight."
Upon hearing Shen Jun's words, the old lady indeed felt tired and nodded in agreement.
Shen Jun and Zheng Shi led the way for her, going ahead first, while Shen Rang and Huo Zhao left a while later.
On the way, Shen Rang sighed, "I was hoping you'd have a peaceful life after you married into the family, but I never expected Grandmother to..."
Huo Zhao shook his head: "They are elders, I'm fine."
"I can't be home with you all the time. If you have any problems, just have someone tell Mother. If Mother can't handle it either, then send someone back to the Prince's Mansion. Don't worry about my feelings."
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhao immediately laughed: "Aren't you afraid that rumors will spread that the young master Shen's household is in turmoil right after his marriage?"
“What can we do? This whole mess started in my house, so why should you be the one to suffer?” Shen Rang said. “Besides, outsiders already know what kind of person I am in your eyes.”
On the night of their wedding, Shen Rang was ridiculed quite a bit at the banquet in front of them.
Everyone said they never expected that he, who had always been aloof and cold, would turn out like this after becoming more approachable.
Faced with those teasing and jokes, Shen Rang didn't feel offended at all; he just found it funny.
As a result, the rumors spread like wildfire.
“My grandmother and I are separated by a courtyard. She lives in the north courtyard, so I think my mother’s life is going to be difficult.”
“My mother has my father,” Shen Rang said. “Now, my father has changed a lot.”
Huo Zhao nodded in agreement: "Yes, I noticed that too."
The current Shen Jun is completely different from the one before.
The Shen Jun of the past was full of vigor, but the Shen Jun of now is as peaceful as can be. Whenever something happens, he goes to see Zheng Shi first. Huo Zhao even has a sense of déjà vu seeing Chen Zongwen in Shen Jun.
Speaking of this, Huo Zhao remembered something else: "By the way, why didn't I see Father's concubines this time? Wasn't the North Courtyard very lively before?"
"Father dismissed some of them, and the rest just wanted to live quietly in the Marquis's mansion, so it was exceptionally quiet."
Chen Rang said.
Huo Zhao nodded and stopped asking questions, but quickened his pace as he walked towards his own courtyard.
She barely ate any breakfast and is starving!
