Chapter 849
Huo Zhao felt deep sympathy for him, but his attention was soon drawn to the steaming hot lunch, and he could no longer care about Chen Nianchu.
Anyway, Huo Shu is the child's maternal uncle, so he will be careful not to do anything wrong.
Despite thinking this, Huo Zhao was still thinking about Shen Nianchu. Not long after lunch, he went to the Prince's Mansion with Shen Rang.
When they arrived at the Prince's Mansion, they saw Shen Nianchu holding a large bowl of rice, eating with relish.
This child isn't like this at home.
Seeing Huo Zhao's surprised expression, Huo Shu smiled and said, "You can't raise a child too carefully; he needs to be toughened up and beaten."
Huo Shu himself grew up like that, so naturally he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
However, in just one morning, Mrs. Chen had already come to check on things several times, clearly indicating that she was worried.
Even Chen Qiang, who was watching from the side, thought he was heartless.
Huo Zhao couldn't help but turn to Chen Qiang and ask, "Sister-in-law, will you let my brother play like this with your children in the future?"
Chen Qiang stroked her lower abdomen with a face full of affection: "I burn incense and pray to Buddha every day now, I hope he will bless me to give birth to a daughter."
"Uncle, I want more meat!" Shen Nianchu handed over the bowl before even wiping the rice grains off his face.
Huo Shu didn't hesitate and immediately filled the bowl with meat: "You have to eat more so you can grow tall and strong!"
As he spoke, Huo Shu glanced meaningfully at Shen Rang.
Shen Rang's physique was naturally not comparable to that of Huo Shu, a warrior who had fought on the battlefield. However, he only looked thin. After taking off his clothes, his muscles were clearly defined.
Huo Zhao wanted to say something in defense of Shen Rang, but the words wouldn't come out, and a faint blush rose to the tips of her ears.
Unfortunately, Huo Shu witnessed this scene: "Zhao Zhao, why are your ears so red? Are you feeling unwell?"
Now, the faint blush that was barely noticeable spread across her face.
Meeting Chen Qiang's mocking gaze, Huo Zhao clearly understood that he could no longer stay in this place.
So she turned around and strode away, and Shen Rang followed, suppressing his laughter. Only Huo Shu was still in shock, standing there dumbfounded.
——
On the other side, Huo Zhao walked a long way before stopping.
Turning his head, Huo Zhao saw a mocking look on Shen Rang's face and wanted to kick him: "Why are you watching my show too?"
"I wouldn't dare," Shen Rang said, putting his arm around her. "I was only laughing because I thought you were cute. I didn't mean to make fun of you."
"What's the difference...?"
Listening to Huo Zhao's mutterings, Shen Rang barely managed to stop himself from laughing out loud.
Although he didn't laugh out loud, his chest still trembled involuntarily.
Huo Zhao was about to speak when he looked up and saw a familiar carriage drive past him.
Huo Zhao frowned slightly: "Isn't that our Marquis's carriage?"
Shen Rang followed her gaze and frowned as well: "Not bad."
The Marquis's mansion was large and prosperous, and it had many carriages. Shen Jun and Madam Zheng had their own carriages when they traveled, as did he and Huo Zhao. Although the carriage that passed by him was from the Marquis's mansion, it was not one of those carriages.
Since it wasn't Shen Jun or Zheng Shi, the only people sitting in the carriage could be guests from the Marquis's residence.
Now, the Marquis's residence only has one guest.
Qi Jing.
"They probably have something to do and need to go out."
Shen Rang didn't care.
After all, although Qi Jing was his cousin, they weren't close.
Moreover, in Shen Rang's view, Qi Jing was a guest, not someone who had come to jail, so it was not surprising that she would go out for a walk when she had nothing to do.
"......Um."
Huo Zhao said nothing.
