Chapter 768
Although Shen Rang said he wanted to go and take a look, he was always too busy and never had the time.
Now that Ning Che is no longer bound by the engagement, he spends almost every day at Xiuzhu Music House, and it's always hard to find him.
So Huo Zhao had no choice but to return to the Prince's Palace.
Huo Zhao was visibly lazy, but Zhong Jie and Madam Chen didn't mind at all; on the contrary, they were happy about it.
"Judging from your appearance, you seem to be doing well at the Marquis's residence? Has the old lady there stopped making things difficult for you?"
Speaking of the old lady, Huo Zhao could only sigh: "It's not that it's not difficult, it's just that I don't take it to heart."
Madam Chen sighed: "Speaking of which, that was also your grandmother. If the elders are easy to get along with, then of course we'll be husband and wife. But if the elders are not kind, then there's nothing we can do."
Madam Chen's words were not wrong.
However, Zhong Jie frowned upon hearing this: "What do you mean there's no way? There are plenty of ways. If it doesn't work, when we leave, we'll take two squads of our Prince's personal guards back with us. I don't believe that can't keep her in check!"
Madam Chen rolled her eyes without any hesitation.
Since returning to the capital, the Chen family has been living in the Prince's Mansion. Zhong Jie and Madam Chen have been spending every day together and are almost closer than their husbands. Their interactions are very natural and they are no longer as reserved as before.
Huo Zhao also said, "That won't do. People who don't know the situation might think I'm going to tear down the Marquis's mansion."
“That’s the effect we wanted, otherwise we’d still get bullied,” Zhong Jie patted her hand. “You don’t need to worry too much. If she bullies you again, come back, and we’ll stand up for you!”
Huo Zhao nodded: "I understand, Mother."
As they were talking, Chen Qiang came over.
Huo Zhao sat up from the couch: "Sister-in-law."
Chen Qiang couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, you can lie down now."
Huo Zhao smiled and made room for Chen Qiang, saying, "Sister-in-law, your health is the most precious thing right now. This place is comfortable to lie in. Come on, sister-in-law."
Chen Qiang sat down, and then Huo Zhao helped her lie down slowly.
"I must say, it's comfortable."
Chen Qiang said.
"Sister-in-law, how have you been lately? Are you feeling unwell?"
Chen Qiang shook her head, then couldn't help but sigh, "I always heard that being pregnant was incredibly difficult, which scared me quite a bit. But when I actually got pregnant, it wasn't that bad!"
Zhong Jie shook Huo Zhao's hand: "What about you? Were you feeling unwell at the time?"
“Me neither,” Huo Zhao grasped Zhong Jie’s hand and shook it gently. “I was just a little nervous during childbirth, but I don’t feel uncomfortable otherwise.”
Zhong Jie breathed a sigh of relief.
The family sat together chatting, and the atmosphere was wonderful.
As they chatted, Huo Zhao mentioned Xiuzhu Music Hall: "A new music hall recently opened in Luoyang City, and it's always packed with people, it's so lively."
Madam Chen nodded: "I heard your father say that the young master Xiuzhu's music is indeed very inspired. For someone as discerning as your father to praise it, it must be really good."
"My father went too?" Huo Zhao exclaimed in surprise.
Mrs. Chen nodded: "That's right. At such an advanced age, she still insists on mingling with young people. Doesn't she find it noisy?"
Anyway, she didn't want to go.
Zhong Jie echoed this sentiment: "If they really like them, why not just invite them to the Prince's Mansion? Our home is so peaceful."
"People like this regard money and fame as dirt; they're probably not easy to persuade."
"Either I simply don't like dealing with these so-called refined people..."
Hearing Zhong Jie and Madam Chen start chatting again, Chen Qiang and Huo Zhao exchanged a glance and then lay down comfortably.
——
It wasn't until dusk that Shen Rang came over, and Huo Zhao followed him back.
I'm free tomorrow.
Chen Rang said.
Huo Zhao blinked: "Want to drink tonight?"
Shen Rang remained silent, only gazing at her with a quiet, melancholic expression.
After a long pause, Shen Rang finally spoke: "You really don't care about me anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Zhao belatedly realized, "Oh, you mean you want to go listen to a piece of music?"
