Empress Dowager An first looked at Shen Yulou, but found nothing unusual in his expression, so she took the fox cub from Chi Yuan's hand.
Wow, it's so pretty! Little fox wants one too! The fox cub finally touched the golden and jade glass necklace.
Seeing the fox cub's obvious affection, Empress Dowager An teased him for a while.
Then came a whole host of rewards.
That evening, Shen Yulou encountered an unexpected person while taking a walk.
"Oh, this is...Young Master Shen?" The white-haired old woman hunched over, leaning on her cane as she walked forward unsteadily, without a single servant to help her.
Her waist was bent at such a great angle that Shen Yulou couldn't even see her face clearly in the darkness.
The palace servants beside him held up a lamp in front of Shen Yulou, and there hung an extremely old face that seemed out of place, covered with wrinkles and brown age spots.
His skin sagged loosely, and his vocal cords seemed to vibrate with every word he spoke, producing a hoarse and patchy sound.
Some of the silvery-white hair, now turning yellowish, fell loosely from her hair bun, and her gloomy eyes made her look somewhat terrifying.
Shen Yulou held the fox cub in his arms again, making sure its eyes were behind him so it wouldn't be frightened.
"Young Master Shen, are you disgusted by my appearance..." the old woman said, her voice hoarse and strained, making it extremely unpleasant to listen to.
"The young prince is of royal blood and is of incomparably noble. How could he be frightened by an old woman like me?"
"Besides, I can be considered the young prince's great-grandmother..."
As the old man spoke, he reached out to touch the little baby in Shen Yulou's arms.
The fingers, like withered wood, seemed to have endured much labor; they were covered with wide, dense cracks, and moved with the swift, forceful swiftness of an eagle's claws as it pounced on the fox cub.
You could even hear a whooshing sound.
Shen Yulou instantly pushed her hand away.
"I do find it disgusting." Shen Yulou's disdain was undisguised.
He was savoring the power of their earlier exchange.
Her strength was unlike that of an old woman; an ordinary old woman would have been hurt if she had taken a hit from Shen Yulou's force just now.
It might be flipped over and thrown to the ground.
"Young Master Shen, you have quite the skills." The old woman withdrew her hand, narrowed her eyes, and smiled, revealing her empty gums.
"I just wonder if the little prince will have anyone to protect him next time."
A blatant threat.
Shen Yulou stared at her with a dark and brooding look in his eyes.
Before she could react, he moved closer and instantly grabbed her shoulder.
"You've offended me, old man."
Shen Yulou smiled.
Even as he gradually went mad, he maintained his good manners, which was thanks to Shen Yulou's excellent upbringing.
"You should be glad that I usually only use my hands to pull up trees, not people."
"Congratulations, you've had the experience."
The old man turned his head shakily and saw Shen Yulou's eyes.
It was like a tangible rage and stubbornness, with a hint of suppressed madness.
In the next instant, Shen Yulou lifted her up with one hand and threw her out.
The original owner rarely went crazy in public. The only time she went crazy in her life that was actually seen by outsiders was when she threw away a willow tree.
He usually handles things internally.
For example, talking to oneself in front of the mirror late at night, crying and laughing, or secretly harming oneself.
His years of experience with drugs seemed to have given him some hallucinations, but they were still within his control.
The Prime Minister and his wife simply thought that Shen Yulou had become somewhat gloomy because he hadn't been exposed to the outside world for too long.
They had no idea that their son had developed some psychological issues.
The situation improved a lot after Shen Yulou arrived, but he was still occasionally affected by the original owner's emotions, especially late at night.
His bottom line is Chi Yuan and the fox cub; whoever steps on them will die.
So, after the familiar feeling of madness surged up, Shen Yulou immediately unleashed his attack from the spot.
