Chapter 909
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Rang's gaze suddenly became somewhat strange.
Why did he inexplicably feel like he had been scolded?
But Zheng had already left, so Shen Rang stopped thinking about it.
The two returned to the Water Pavilion, where Huo Zhao lay down on the couch without any regard for his image.
Shen Rang sat down next to her: "What are your plans regarding Qi Jing?"
“Of course we’re sending her out,” Huo Zhao said. “We’ve been having people clean up the house these past few days, and she’ll be gone once it’s done.”
Shen Rang nodded, asked no more questions, and lay down next to Huo Zhao.
——
Huo Zhao personally ordered the preparation of a house, and his subordinates naturally did their best to do so. In just two days, they cleaned up a house that had been uninhabited for a long time.
Early that morning, Huo Zhao and Shen Rang went there in person.
The house wasn't big, only two courtyards, but it was more than enough for two people.
Although the house had been cleaned thoroughly and was free of dust, the furniture inside was very simple, making it look somewhat empty.
The two walked around inside and out a few times, and said, "It's a bit simple, but it's still habitable."
Shen Rang nodded: "We have everything we need, so we've done our best."
No sooner had he finished speaking than another person entered.
It's Yao Susu.
"Cousin, cousin's wife."
Yao Susu greeted them and then wandered around the house before walking up to Huo Zhao: "Sister-in-law, I've heard about Qi Jing's matter. I really didn't expect that person, who looks so unremarkable, would have such methods!"
Now, Yao Susu truly understands Qi Jing's older sisters.
No wonder no one plays with Qi Jing!
If she and Qi Jing were to spend every day together, she might do something even more ruthless than her older sisters.
Huo Zhao looked her up and down, his brows furrowing slightly: "What's wrong with you? You look a little haggard."
Yao Susu was taken aback by Huo Zhao's sharp eyes and immediately asked, "Sister-in-law, how did you figure that out?"
She clearly put on rouge before going out today!
Facing the questioning gazes of Shen Rang and Huo Zhao, Yao Susu sighed and then found a place to sit down: "It's all because of my sisters-in-law! They say I've been married into the family for so long and still can't get pregnant, and now my cousin... Anyway, whenever they see me, they're all sarcastic and mean, it's infuriating!"
Shen Rang and Huo Zhao almost forgot that Yao Susu came from the Marquis's mansion, so outside, Yao Susu was closely related to the rise and fall of the Marquis's mansion.
If the Marquis's mansion is doing well, Yao Susu will be doing well; conversely, if the Marquis's mansion is not doing well, those snobbish people will treat her badly.
Huo Zhao asked, "Where is your husband? Is he treating you well?"
“He treats me the same as before,” Yao Susu’s expression finally softened when she mentioned her husband. “But what good is it if he’s good to me? He just ends up being ridiculed along with me.”
Seeing that Shen Rang and Huo Zhao looked unhappy, Yao Susu waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about these unpleasant things. Cousin and cousin-in-law, when is Qi Jing moving out? I have to be careful. I can't run into her if she comes to my house!"
Her life at her husband's family home was already difficult enough. If her sisters-in-law found out that she had such a shameful relative who even came to their door to freeload, she would never have a good life again.
"It'll be in the next few days," Huo Zhao said. "Don't worry, I'll have someone tell you in advance."
