Chapter 745
This incident symbolizes that the old lady was jealous and ruthless.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, his granddaughter-in-law brought up these words again.
The old lady couldn't sit still any longer and stood up abruptly: "Is this how your parents taught you to speak to your elders?!"
Seeing that the old lady was truly angry, Jixiang and Le'an exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with unconcealed unease.
Huo Zhao slowly put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "Isn't that right?"
Now, not only the old lady fell silent, but even Jixiang and Le'an were silent.
Who were Huo Zhao's parents?
That was once the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince!
Even though he no longer holds the title of Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince, he is still the Emperor's confidant after returning to Luoyang!
Seeing the old lady flick her sleeve and turn away, it was clear she was quite angry.
After the old lady had disappeared from sight, Jixiang finally couldn't help but ask, "Young Madam, are you really alright?"
"What does it matter?" Huo Zhao said indifferently. "If she has the guts, she can go and make a scene with my father."
If Chen Zongwen knew that this old lady was bullying her like this, the old lady would be in even worse shape, saving him the trouble of taking matters into his own hands.
Le An asked, "Young Madam, if the Old Madam really lets the Young Master's cousin into the inner quarters, will you deal with her...?"
The expression on Huo Zhao's face when he spoke just now didn't seem like he was joking.
It seemed as if Huo Zhao would chop the old lady up if she dared to bring her cousin in.
"Probably not," Huo Zhao said, "but it's best not to come in, otherwise, if it turns out to be someone difficult to deal with, I can't guarantee anything."
Jixiang and Le'an exchanged a glance.
They all knew about Huo Zhao's methods.
Back then, she was able to destabilize Yun Wan's position as the mistress of the house with her clandestine identity. Now, as the mistress of the house, dealing with a concubine would be a piece of cake for her.
Not to mention there's also Chen Rang.
They all understood Shen Rang's feelings for Huo Zhao.
Even if a man's heart can change in an instant, it hasn't changed yet, has it?
"Alright," Huo Zhao said, "You two don't need to stay here guarding this place anymore. Go down and get something to eat."
"yes."

After the old lady returned home, she paced around the room several times in anger, but she still couldn't calm down.
"This girl, relying on her status as a princess, actually doesn't take me seriously at all!"
So what if she's a princess? Does being a princess give her the right to disregard the status of her elders?
Such an unfilial person doesn't deserve to enter our Marquis's mansion! I'll tell Zirong to divorce her and leave the house!
Cuizhi, the old lady's maid, followed her around, saying, "Old Madam, please don't be angry. The young mistress is young and doesn't know any better. You can just give her a good talking-to. Don't upset yourself!"
"A reprimand? Look at her, does she look like she can handle being reprimanded?"
It would have been better if she hadn't said anything, because these words made the old lady even angrier: "And Zheng Shi too! We failed to set proper rules for her back then, and look at what she's become now!"
Since ancient times, men have always been the heads of households, but now the Marquis's mansion has turned the tables!
How could the old lady just stand by and watch?
Therefore, she must rectify the family traditions of the Marquis's mansion!
A dark glint flashed in the old lady's eyes: "Go and find out if there are any women in my son's backyard who are capable of causing trouble."
