Chapter 908
When the two arrived at the South Courtyard, they did not see Shen Rang. After asking around, they learned that the young couple had gone boating on the lake that day.
"They're in such dire straits, yet they still have the leisure to indulge in such leisurely pursuits!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Zheng glanced at him indifferently: "Zirong isn't in a hurry, which means things haven't reached that point yet. But you, you act like everything's a fire burning your eyebrows when something happens. How many eyebrows do you have to be so anxious?"
In her opinion, it's no wonder that Shen Jun has only been able to be seen by others over the years by relying on Shen Rang.
With such an impatient nature, he acts like the sky is falling whenever something happens. How can he possibly accomplish anything?
Shen Jun said with a stiff face, "I know what you're thinking. It's true that I'm not as capable as Zi Rong, but since I'm his father, I can't help but worry about him!"
Even the smartest person has moments of complacency, and I need to constantly remind him of that!
Madam Zheng sneered: "I'm afraid you're not using your wits for good. How many times have you done something wrong with good intentions?"
In the past, Shen Jun had put in countless efforts, but in the end, he still achieved nothing.
Shen Jun was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.
Zheng also fell silent.
The two waited in the hall for a while, and when they heard that the young couple had returned by boat and were at the Water Pavilion, they went over there together.
Shen Rang and Huo Zhao knew they were coming, so they ended their boat trip early and waited for them at the Water Pavilion.
Upon seeing the two approach, Shen Rang and Huo Zhao stood up and bowed.
Shen Jun, recognizing the urgency of the situation, didn't waste any time with pleasantries and went straight to the point.
He advised Shen to soften his stance and return to court as soon as possible.
Shen Rang had heard these words more than once; he knew exactly what Shen Jun was going to say next with his eyes closed.
Shen Jun's mouth was dry from talking, but when he looked up and saw that Shen Rang hadn't taken his words to heart at all, he immediately lost all his temper.
Zheng Shi and Huo Zhao, who were standing nearby, didn't even hear a word; they were both looking at the lake view outside.
Shen Jun sighed deeply, a sense of powerlessness welling up inside him.
Finally, he could only say, "Zirong, your mother and I have placed high hopes on you. You must not let us, or the ancestors of the Shen family, down!"
Shen Rang nodded slightly: "I believe that I have accomplished enough to give an account to our ancestors."
Aside from the ancestors of the Shen family, Shen Rang was indeed the most successful person in the Shen family in recent generations.
If even he can disappoint our ancestors, then the Shen family is truly beyond saving.
Shen Jun choked for a moment.
At this moment, Madam Zheng also spoke up: "That's right, Zirong has already done a great job to get to where she is now, so you should mind your own business."
Shen Jun's expression grew increasingly grim.
Finally, Shen Jun strode out of the Water Pavilion.
Behind him, Huo Zhao followed beside Madam Zheng, somewhat worried: "Mother, Father seems angry. Will he do something to you?"
Noticing her concern, Madam Zheng patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, he's so old, what trouble could he possibly cause? It's you two who should spend more time together, since Zirong rarely gets a break."
Shen Rang said, "Mother, this situation is different from the past. His Majesty's intentions are unpredictable. I am afraid that rash action will have the opposite effect, so I have chosen to remain still."
Zheng nodded: "Your father is still all talk and no action. He thinks he knows everything, but he's all talk and no action. Just ignore him."
