Chapter 753
"That won't do!" Consort Qu said instinctively.
Consort Jing nodded: "Yes, that won't do."
The two of them simultaneously shifted their gaze to the old lady who was completely unaware of Huo Zhao's thoughts.
——
After the meal, everyone can take a walk around the Moon Viewing Platform.
The palace is not a place you can just come to whenever you want. The group got up in twos and threes and started walking around the area.
The old lady also got up to go for a walk, and Huo Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as Huo Zhao was about to sit down, he was pulled away by someone.
When they arrived at the banquet at the Yunnan Prince's Palace, they saw a table full of dishes, but they hadn't touched a single one.
Zhong Jie said with a pained expression, "The taste might not be as good as it was at the beginning. Just eat a little bit and tell your brother to run back quickly so we can eat more when we get home!"
Just now, when I saw Huo Zhao serving the old lady, none of the family members had a pleasant expression.
Logically speaking, everyone would have to socialize on such an occasion, but the Huo and Chen families didn't make a single move.
Madam Chen also said, "Your grandmother is too much of a bully. Are you like this at home too?"
Huo Zhao shook his head: "Zi Rong and I are both in the South Courtyard, so we don't see the old lady very often."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Qiang said, "The fabric that the old lady is wearing looks familiar. Is it the same one you wore to your wedding?"
Huo Zhao nodded.
The group exchanged glances.
Zhong Jie hurriedly said, "It's just one piece of fabric, don't take it to heart. I think the color is indeed a bit old-fashioned, I didn't like it from the beginning, I'll get you a new one tomorrow!"
"No need, Zirong has already made up for it for me."
Huo Zhaodao.
The way everyone looked at Shen Rang softened a bit.
Surrounded by the two families, Huo Zhao was almost overwhelmed by their concern, and for a moment he didn't even feel hungry.
The family hadn't exchanged many words when they turned around and saw the old lady coming over.
The old lady's expression was somewhat strange.
She was clearly out for a walk, but now the expression on her face seemed somewhat...fearful?
Upon seeing Huo Zhao, the old lady immediately walked over to her.
The Huo and Chen families were naturally full of malice towards her. Huo Shu even stepped forward and blocked Huo Zhao's way: "Madam, if you have something to say, just say it here."
Huo Shu was eight feet five or six inches tall and a man who had fought and killed many battles. Although his brocade clothes made him appear less menacing, his aura was still not to be underestimated.
The old lady gave a wry smile: "I was just thinking that Zhao Zhao had worked so hard just now, she barely ate anything, so I wanted to ask her what she wanted to eat, and then I'll have someone make it for her when we get home."
The old lady's demeanor now is completely different from before.
For a moment, no one knew what the old lady was up to.
Regardless, Zhong Jie didn't give her a friendly look: "Zhao Zhao will come back with us in a little while, so there's no need for the old lady to worry about her."
"Go back with you?" The old lady blinked. "Isn't that a bit inappropriate? Zhao Zhao is already married; how can she keep going back to her parents' home?"
"Is that not allowed?" Zhong Jie raised an eyebrow. "Does our Yunnan Prince's Mansion have to live at the mercy of others?"
"I...that's not what I meant."
The old lady twitched the corner of her mouth. "Fine, let Zhaozhao do whatever she wants. It's not appropriate for an old woman like me to interfere so much, is it?"
