Chapter 762
When he said this, Shen Rang showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever, only approval.
Shen Rang wasn't particularly close to the old lady to begin with, and ever since he learned that the old lady treated Zheng Shi badly and even repeatedly caused trouble for her, Shen Rang's attitude became even colder. Now that the old lady was going to make things difficult for Huo Zhao, how could Shen Rang possibly tolerate it?
Seeing that Shen Rang spoke without any sign of reluctance, Mother Shui was finally relieved.
As long as Shen Rang is on Huo Zhao's side, the situation is good.
The next day, Shen Rang left again before dawn.
Huo Zhao slept until dawn as usual. After getting up and tidying up, Ning Che arrived.
But for some reason, Ning Che's eyes were red and swollen, as if he had just had a good cry.
Seeing her like this, Huo Zhao quickly pulled her into the hall and ordered a maid to bring her a handkerchief.
"What's wrong?" Huo Zhao asked her with concern.
Ning Che is a lively person, so for her to cry like this, something serious must have happened.
"It's all because of my father," Ning Che said, her voice trembling with tears. "My father said he's already arranged a marriage for me and told me to start preparing for my wedding!"
Huo Zhao was secretly startled: "Why so suddenly?"
Ning Che took the handkerchief from Ji Xiang and held it to his eyes: "Who knows? I thought my parents weren't going to pressure me anymore, but who knew they had arranged everything behind the scenes!"
Huo Zhao sighed, unsure of what to say for a moment.
After a long silence, Huo Zhao finally asked, "Whom did they choose for you?"
“He’s the son of the governor of Yangzhou… Zhaozhao, tell me, the son of the governor of Yangzhou didn’t grow up in Luoyang City. I don’t even know what he looks like or what his temperament is like. Now you’re asking me to marry him like this? This is just too unfair!” Ning Che became more and more frightened as she thought about it. “What if he’s a violent person, or what if he’s not good-looking?”
Ning Che can't accept either of them!
Hearing her say that, Huo Zhao's heart also sank slightly: "This... your father and mother love you so much, they shouldn't have found you such a husband."
“Who knows? Didn’t you see how much the Qu family used to dote on Qu Ling? Now that Qu Dun has had an accident, Qu Ling has been sent to the palace by her mother,” Ning Che said. “What if my parents think the same way?”
"You're overthinking it. Even among officials of the same rank, those in Luoyang are more valuable than those in other places, let alone your father. Besides, you haven't done anything wrong. Your father wouldn't treat you like this."
Hearing Huo Zhao's words, Ning Che's previously uneasy heart calmed down a little: "I hope what you said is true..."
Seeing that Ning Che was still frowning, Huo Zhao simply had someone bring Shen Nianchu over.
Whether Ning Che likes it or not, at least it will distract her.
Sure enough, once Chen Nian arrived, Ning Che no longer had time to think about anything else.
When he left, Ning Che looked exhausted.
Once you're looking at the child, you don't even have time to think about dying.
Watching Ning Che walk away listlessly, Huo Zhao felt a pang of conscience for a moment.
However, Huo Zhao soon remembered his original intention.
I don't want Ning Che to be sad.
Well, that's still pretty good.
Huo Zhao turned his head and told the wet nurse to take Chen Nianchu away.
——
That evening, as soon as Shen Rang returned, Huo Zhao asked him about the son of the governor of Yangzhou.
"Are you asking on behalf of Miss Ning?"
Huo Zhao was startled: "How did you know?"
"Lord Ning is sending out invitations everywhere today."
As Shen Rang spoke, he took out a gold-embossed invitation from his sleeve.
The post featured a large, brightly colored "囍" character.
Huo Zhao took the invitation and looked at it, his expression becoming even more complicated: "It seems that Lord Ning really didn't leave Che'er any room for negotiation."
