NOVPUBFar away in Yancheng, Gu Zhi and the others were still unaware of the earth-shaking changes that had taken place in the capital.
Xu Zening frowned as he let Shen Hexuan go, then slammed his fist onto the table.
“That fool Xu Lianggeng, so impatient. If he had waited a little longer, who knows…”
Xu Shiyi spoke up, “Your Highness, didn’t you always believe that Xiao Sinian could succeed?”
Xu Zening didn’t deny Xiao Sinian’s abilities, but now was clearly not the right time.
“Now we need enough time to find out where Shen Roujia is. Otherwise, what was all my effort for?”
Although Xu Shiyi didn’t fully understand these matters, even someone else in this situation would realize that Xu Zening’s actions were problematic.
“Your Highness, I have some thoughts on this. I think you shouldn’t have treated Miss Shen that way.”
“You like her, that’s true, but you need her to genuinely accept you. If you keep going like this, it’ll only bring pain to both of you.”
Xu Zening instinctively glanced at Xu Shiyi, “Since when did you start understanding these things?”
Xu Shiyi scratched his head, “By the way, Your Highness, ever since Miss left, Little Black hasn’t eaten for days, and Miss Xiao Fu has been crying nonstop.”
Xu Zening frowned, “Take good care of Little Black. If necessary, bring her to me. I’ll take care of her personally. That cat is precious to her. If something happens to it when she returns, how heartbroken she’ll be.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Shiyi realized that Xu Zening had softened. “I’ll arrange it right away. As for the people from the Hidden Pavilion…”
Xu Zening waved his hand, “There’s no need to keep them confined. Let them go back. She might still seek out the people from the Hidden Pavilion.”
Xu Shiyi nodded and turned to make the necessary arrangements.
