Chapter 979
After saying that, Huo Yue turned and left.
Shen Jun watched his retreating figure, and it took almost all his willpower to keep himself from smashing the palace to pieces.
Shen Jun left dejectedly, and all the things he brought with him were naturally returned untouched.
This trip out of the house really made me look bad.
He returned empty-handed. He had originally intended for Zheng to speak with Zhong Jie, but he was rebuffed by Zheng again. When he left, his face was as sour as a rock in a latrine.
Seeing Shen Jun's behavior, Madam Zhou hesitated before speaking, "Madam, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to treat the Marquis like this?"
“What’s wrong with that?” Madam Zheng slowly turned a page of scripture. “I’ve said it before: things in this world don’t always change according to his wishes. He can’t change the people outside, and he can’t change me either.”
Madam Zhou sighed: "But Madam, the Marquis had clearly changed before, so why did you drive him away?"
"After all these years, don't you still know what kind of person he is?" Madam Zheng didn't even lift her eyelids. "Look at him now. Even if I had treated him the best back then, he wouldn't have hesitated to turn against me when the time came. Since that's the case, why should I wrong myself?"
The more you give, the more deeply you'll be hurt. Since you knew from the start that he was unreliable, it's better not to expect anything in the first place.
Mrs. Zhou sighed: "But Madam, it must be too hard for you to live alone."
“Is it bitter? I don’t think so,” Madam Zheng said with a smile. “I can live a life of luxury like this, and thanks to the Marquis, I don’t have to deal with those occasions that I don’t like. Isn’t that wonderful?”
It would be even better if Shen Jun could spend less time in front of her.
Although Zhou's mother still felt that such a life was lonely, since Zheng had said so, she couldn't say anything more, lest it seem like she was deliberately trying to make Zheng unhappy.

Prince's Mansion.
Knowing that Shen Jun had been sent away, Huo Zhao said that he was tired, and only then did Zhong Jie and Madam Chen leave.
After they all left, Huo Zhao looked at Shen Rang and asked, "Zirong, are you unhappy about this?"
No matter what, Shen Jun is Shen Rang's biological father.
Shen Rang shook his head: "I've seen through his character long ago. Right now... although there's still a little bit, it's not a big problem."
Even Zheng always said bad things about Shen Jun, which shows that Shen Jun was indeed not a very good person.
Compared to his father, Shen Rang still favored his mother more, especially now that Huo Zhao was also involved.
Thinking this, Shen Rang squeezed Huo Zhao's hand: "Don't worry, I'm fine, and I won't overthink things. Right now, your health is the most important thing."
Huo Zhao sighed, "It's just a pity that this child came at the wrong time."
These are turbulent times, and the Sixth Prince and his wife are both eyeing her. It's really not a good thing that she's pregnant at this time.
"Don't worry, your father-in-law and mother-in-law will definitely protect you."
Shen Rang sighed softly, "Don't say things like that anymore. It's not good if the child hears it."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and placed it on Huo Zhao's lower abdomen.
Huo Zhao twitched the corner of her mouth and couldn't help but remind him, "I'm only one month pregnant."
"What's wrong?"
What can a child hear?
"...What if we're on the same wavelength?" Shen Rang said logically and with evidence.
Huo Zhao didn't bother to refute him.
Some people, despite being top scholars and fathers for so long, are incredibly capable of making foolish mistakes.
