Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 1075: Punishment

“It is just that Zhen is pregnant and I am the eldest son, so it is quite normal. As you can see, my mansion is so poor, so my father doesn’t care about me at all. Even if I have a child, he or she will not have a promising future. We have to live under the Crown Prince’s nose.”

“…”

“We can see the situation clearly. So it doesn’t matter whether the child exists or not.”

“…”

“I asked Zhen to come to the capital, because I want to give her a better life,” Zhou Huaiyan said. He refused to hear what Zhou Huaijin had to say.

Zhou Huaijin looked very helpless.

His brother spent too many years at the border and had no idea what was going on in the capital. He was right about the situation he was in, but what his brother could not understand was that because of his terrible situation, he was unable to keep his child safe.

However, he could not say too much at the moment, in case there was a misunderstanding.

Well…

He would just let the whole thing pass, and he would ask his hidden guard to keep the mansion safe, to protect the child at least.

Zhou Huaijin had thought that they could have a nice visit after not speaking with each other for years, but it seemed that his brother had lost his hope after so many years at the border. He was complaining and mocking himself, and was unable to agree with any of his advice.

So he said a few words casually, then Zhou Huaijin left with Gu Chaoyan.

Zhou Huaijin still had an angry look on his face when they got in the wagon.

He was not only angry at his brother, but also at the whole environment. He was angry that his father could be so cold to his own son and that his brother just lost hope.

Gu Chaoyan threw a look at him.

She said when she saw how angry he looked. “Don’t take it to heart. The Elder Prince grew up in a different environment from you, so he is thinking from his own perspective.”

“…”

“He is a prince who was abandoned at the border so it is already not very easy for him to have such a mood.”

Zhou Huaijin sighed. He knew that what Chaoyan said was right, so he nodded and said nothing further.

The wagon headed directly to Xinlin Mansion.

As they just reached Xinlin Mansion, Zhou Huaijin was about to leave when a hidden guard came hurrying to Zhou Huaijin. He looked as if there was an emergency.

Zhou Huaijin got startled when he saw the hidden guard’s look.

Hidden guards at Shadow Door were always well cultivated, and they would never report anything to him unless they were in a composed manner.

Something important must have happened, since the guard was in such a hurry.

He asked seriously, “What is going on?”

The hidden guard subconsciously looked at Gu Chaoyan, looking a little scared.

Zhou Huaijin frowned. Feng Yue and Mo Bing were like this as well. They always tried to hide things from Chaoyan, but they had already received all the punishments they deserved. And he told the whole Shadow Door that no matter what happened, Chaoyan had the same authority as he was.

However, these hidden guards of theirs had all forgotten about this.

He looked at the man coldly and said, “You should go get your punishment after you are done with this message. One more mistake and you will be dismissed.”
