Chapter 742
For the next few days, the old lady did not cause any more trouble.
But Huo Zhao always had a feeling that a storm was brewing.
Soon, Shen Rang will be able to start working normally.
The night before his shift, Shen Rang and Huo Zhao were having dinner together when Shen Rang became worried again: "I won't be home tomorrow, I'll leave Jingyuan at home."
Huo Zhao said helplessly, "What's the use of keeping Jing Yuan at home? He's not even as good as me."
She is a granddaughter-in-law and also has the status of a princess. What about Jingyuan?
When the old lady asked Jingyuan to do something, Jingyuan had no choice but to go.
Shen Rang pursed his lips.
I'm still worried.
The old lady hasn't made a sound these past few days; she's clearly waiting for him to leave.
But he knew perfectly well that he had no choice but to leave.
Huo Zhao was a little nervous at first, but seeing Shen Rang like this, she was not nervous at all: "Don't worry, if I can't hold on, I'll take my mother back to the palace and hide until you come back."
Shen Rang chuckled: "That's a good idea."
Jixiang and Le'an, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
That night, Shen Rang couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
The moment she closed her eyes, all she could think of was Huo Zhao being bullied by the old lady and not daring to protect himself.
Even after he finally fell asleep, he had another dream.
She dreamt that he came back, and Huo Zhao looked at him with tears in her eyes, saying that marrying him was too much of a hardship and that she wanted a divorce.
Shen Rang woke up suddenly before he could finish his dream.
He opened his eyes and saw Huo Zhao lying peacefully in his arms. The room was quiet, and he realized that everything just now was just a dream.
He sighed and pulled the person into his arms even tighter.

The next day, Shen Rang had to get up early, and Huo Zhao also woke up early.
But Huo Zhao didn't move. He lay on the bed watching him get ready and then watched him leave. Then he turned over and prepared to go back to sleep.
But not long after Shen Rang left, Ji Xiang knocked on the door: "Young Madam, the Old Madam requests your presence."
Huo Zhao frowned: "I understand."
Jixiang waited outside for a while longer, but when she didn't hear Huo Zhao call her in, she knew that Huo Zhao wasn't going to come in, so she felt relieved and continued to rest.
However, Zheng Shi started tidying up as the old lady had instructed.
Seeing that she was all ready to leave, Shen Jun followed after her: "Are you going again?"
Zheng said, "I'm just worried that Zhaozhao will go alone, so I'll go and keep an eye on her."
Her mother-in-law doesn't know what's important. If she goes there, she can help Huo Zhao share some of the old lady's difficulties.
Shen Jun didn't say anything more.
When the two arrived at the old lady's courtyard, they looked around but couldn't find Huo Zhao. Only then did Madam Zheng breathe a sigh of relief.
The old lady took in Zheng's reaction and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
What are they trying to prevent?
"Perfect timing. Now that you're a mother-in-law, just tell your daughter-in-law to come over."
A glint of light flashed in the old lady's eyes.
But the Zheng family was no fool.
Knowing that the old lady was clearly trying to sow discord, Madam Zheng naturally wouldn't go along with her: "Young people are sleep-deprived, I can't do something so immoral as to disturb their peaceful dreams."
Shen Jun subconsciously looked at Madam Zheng.
