Chapter 977
Recently, Shen Rang has been staying at the Prince's Mansion. When he goes out drinking, people have already said that he has raised a son who has married into the family. Now that Huo Zhao is pregnant and needs to rest at the Prince's Mansion, doesn't this directly confirm this statement?
Even though Shen Jun has now come to realize that he is incompetent, he still feels that he is a prince after all and should consider the reputation of the Marquis's mansion.
Otherwise, how will he face his ancestors after he passes away?
"There's no room for discussion on this; she has to come back!"
Madam Zheng calmly put down her teacup and looked at him: "Your Excellency is so eager for her to rest and recuperate in the Marquis's residence, but does Your Excellency know how troublesome it is to take good care of a pregnant woman?"
"What's so troublesome? With so many servants in the manor, surely they can take good care of her?"
Because of Zheng's coldness over the past ten years, Shen Jun now felt that he had no hope for Zheng. He stayed in his concubine's room day and night, and his attitude towards Zheng naturally became no different from before.
"Your Excellency speaks very nicely. Everyone in the manor has their own duties. How can we expect everyone to take care of one person just because of your word? Besides, what did you do when she was pregnant last time? I don't need to remind you, do I? You shouldn't have forgotten."
If she were Huo Zhao's biological mother, knowing that her daughter almost lost her life in this family, she would never allow her daughter to marry into the family, let alone have her pregnancy and childbirth there.
Isn't this like pushing your own daughter to the brink of death?
Mentioning the previous incident, Shen Jun himself felt guilty, and his momentum immediately weakened: "Last time... that was because I didn't know her identity. Now that I know, of course, the same thing won't happen again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Rang, who was standing to the side, pursed his thin lips and his relaxed body tensed up slightly.
Regardless of Huo Zhao's identity, from the past to the present, he has always been the person he cherishes most.
However, Shen Jun was completely blind to his true feelings; all he cared about was his so-called status.
Shen Rang had long been disappointed in his father, and now he was even heartbroken.
Madam Zheng glanced at Shen Rang and said, "It's a pity that not everything in this world will go according to the Marquis's plan. After all these years, hasn't the Marquis realized this problem yet?"
Her words made Shen Jun's already unpleasant expression even worse.
He glared at Zheng, feeling incredibly fortunate that he hadn't wasted any more time on this woman.
This woman's heart is like an unyielding rock; no matter what he does, she remains cold and indifferent to him, showing no regard for his feelings whatsoever!
And this was right in front of Shen Rang, yet he spoke so rudely...
Shen Jun took a deep breath and said, "So what? I can't control outsiders, but surely I can control my own son and daughter-in-law?"
Shen Rang couldn't listen any longer and stood up, saying, "Before I came back, I had already told my mother-in-law about letting Zhao Zhao stay at the Prince's Mansion to rest during her pregnancy. My mother-in-law was very happy to hear this and asked me to go back on my word. I can't do that. If Father insists on doing so, then please go and discuss it with Father-in-law and Mother-in-law yourself."
Zhao Zhao needs someone to stay with her, so I'll be going now.
After saying that, Shen Rang turned around and left without even looking back!
Behind him, the sound of a teacup shattering came, accompanied by Shen Jun's angry shout—
"He's getting more and more outrageous! It's all thanks to your good upbringing!"
Madam Zheng curled her lips into a cold smile: "Yes, I gave birth to this child and raised him all by myself. The Marquis did nothing, so don't be picky."
After saying that, she got up and left.
She was not willing to suffer such humiliation again.
Watching the mother and son leave one after the other, Shen Jun felt like his head was about to burst into flames.
Then, he gritted his teeth and stood up angrily.
It's absolutely impossible for her to have her pregnancy and childbirth at her parents' home! He has to go there in person!
Although Shen Jun trembled slightly at the thought of the oppressive aura emanating from Huo Yue when he last met him, he still took a deep breath and forced himself to stay alert for the sake of his family's reputation and honor.
"Go, prepare a generous gift, and come with me to the Prince's Palace!"
Today, he absolutely had to bring those two rude and disrespectful people, Shen Rang and Huo Zhao, home!
