Chapter 876
As dusk fell, Shen Rang returned home, stepping into the twilight.
Recently, he's been coming home earlier and earlier every day, and Huo Zhao has long since gotten used to it.
At the dinner table, Huo Zhao told him about Shen Nianchu's ambitions, and Shen Rang was somewhat surprised: "He actually likes martial arts too?"
Shen Rang knew that Shen Nianchu loved reading.
Every time he taught Chen Nianchu, the child would look at him with bright, sparkling eyes, clearly very interested.
I never expected that the child would be interested in martial arts.
"I wonder where he got this energy from."
Shen Rang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Huo Zhao felt that what he said was strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why. He just looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Shen Rang shook his head: "Anyway, he has someone watching him now, and even if he has more energy, he can't cause any trouble for us. Let him be..."
Is Qi Jing behaving herself at home?
Huo Zhao nodded: "Doukou came over today. I sent her a message and found a reason to put her under house arrest. At least for the next month, she won't cause any trouble."
"Madam has the best solution."
Shen Rang did not think there was anything wrong with Huo Zhao's actions.
This was the path that Qi Jing herself insisted on taking.
Qi Jing is not a child; she should pay the price for her choices.
Shen Rang could tell that Huo Zhao had other things on his mind, but he didn't say anything at the dinner table.
It wasn't until night fell, after the two had bathed together, and Huo Zhao was about to go to sleep, that Shen Rang spoke up: "You seem a little unhappy, is something on your mind?"
Huo Zhao remained silent.
It used to exist.
But right now, all she wants to do is go to sleep.
I really can't wait a moment longer.
But Shen Rang wouldn't agree, as if he wouldn't let her sleep until she told him, and he was almost ready to personally reach out and pry open her eyelids.
Huo Zhao, unable to handle his nagging any longer, had no choice but to say, "It has something to do with cardamom."
"Tell me about it."
Huo Zhao pursed his lips: "The origin of Doukou is... somewhat complicated. Logically speaking, this matter should not be noticed by anyone, but I always feel that Qi Jing seems to know something."
Shen Rang didn't press Doukou's background, only saying, "So you think Qi Jing has someone behind her?"
"Isn't the person behind Qi Jing the Consort Jing from the palace?"
She heard Zhong Jie tell her everything on her way home from the polo club.
"Speaking of which, this Consort Jing is really determined to make things difficult for me. She took me away at the polo match and then placed people in my house. She's not going to let me live a good life."
Huo Zhao thought it over and over, and realized that he didn't have such a big grudge against Consort Jing.
Shen Rang tucked the blanket around her and said, "Perhaps it's because of the past."
Huo Zhao couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Old matters? Why does she have to make trouble for me about things between the elders?"
"Who knows what she's thinking? But fortunately, Qi Jing isn't too troublesome," Shen Rang said. "We can keep her at home for a year or two, and then send her to a manor outside the city to be well taken care of."
“That’s your cousin. If you do this, the house will be quiet now, but your mother-in-law will probably have a headache.”
These distant yet close relatives are the most difficult to get along with.
Shen Rang's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Then, Madam, it seems you have a plan?"
Huo Zhao's eyes remained closed, but he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Do I look like I have a plan now?"
She was clearly at a loss.
