NOVPUBXu Zening didn’t really mislead Shen Roujia. He simply pointed to the envelope on the table.
Seeing the large characters spelling out “Divorce Letter,” Shen Roujia’s face lit up with joy.
“Hey! Why didn’t you tell me you wrote it earlier?”
Xu Zening couldn’t help but be affected by her ingratiating smile.
“Ahem, but…”
Shen Roujia’s outstretched hand slowly stopped.
She blinked innocently.
“Your Highness, just say what you want, and I will do my best!”
Xu Zening gently tapped the table. n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
“The Shen family promised me something. If they fulfill it, I will personally present this divorce letter to my father.”
Shen Roujia stood dumbfounded. How did this involve the Shen family?
What had Shen Hexuan promised Xu Zening?
Shen Roujia glanced at the divorce letter, then shifted her gaze to Xu Zening.
“Your Highness, what exactly is this requirement?”
Xu Zening frowned deeply. “What? Shen Hexuan didn’t tell you?”
Shen Roujia shook her head seriously. “No.”
Xu Zening didn’t speak, staring at Shen Roujia as if lost in thought.
Afraid Xu Zening would change his mind, Shen Roujia wrung her hands and spoke with understanding, “Your Highness, I have caused you much trouble in the Eastern Palace.”
“A dragon among men like you, how can I be worthy? Besides, you and Miss Rong share deep feelings.”
Shen Roujia patted Xu Zening’s shoulder lightly. “I don’t feel at ease sitting in this position.”
In fact, Xu Zening knew all about the suffering Shen Roujia had endured.
He chose not to intervene, turning a blind eye to it.
However, Shen Roujia unexpectedly came forward on her own.
Like that clueless Xiao Hei, baring its teeth and claws, acting brazenly before its master.
Xu Zening had never focused his attention on anyone.
Shen Roujia was the first to capture half of his attention, stirring a strong curiosity in him.
Xu Zening began to wonder how this seemingly delicate flower vase struggled in the mire.
Once he had this thought, it took root like a vine, climbing and spreading endlessly.
Xu Zening had to admit that he was indeed interested in Shen Roujia.
He couldn’t stop observing her…
“I think you may have misunderstood.”
Shen Roujia was puzzled. “What?”
Xu Zening looked up at Shen Roujia and answered seriously, “Rong Shuyao did me a favor. Protecting her is just repaying that debt.”
Shen Roujia hadn’t expected such an answer.
“Huh?”
Xu Zening didn’t hide it anymore. “You don’t need to play smart. If you really have the ability, fulfill the condition you promised. Find out the truth about my mother’s death.”
Shen Roujia was taken aback. She never expected Shen Hexuan’s promise to Xu Zening would be this condition.
“How could I possibly accomplish that?”
His mother’s death was not even mentioned in the original book. Although she had the perspective of a god, she didn’t have that much power.
Xu Zening made a move to tear up the divorce letter. “Then this document is probably useless.”
Shen Roujia quickly stepped forward to stop him. “Wait! At least give me some clues. How else can I investigate?”
Xu Zening’s eyes dimmed. “If I knew anything… I wouldn’t have agreed so easily to Shen Hexuan.”
Shen Roujia clapped her hands suddenly. “So, my brother must know something?”
