Guide to Failing as a Full-Level Green Tea-Chapter 142.2 - A Haloed Little Angel

As Shen Roujia contemplated this, Xu Zening suddenly looked at her, breaking her reverie.

In a reassuring tone, he said, “Don’t worry, those lives won’t be in vain.”

Shen Roujia blinked in surprise, clasping her hands behind her back as she paced behind him.

This man clearly had a long memory, and now that the troubles had reached his doorstep, how could he possibly let it slide?

Shen Roujia gently placed her hand on his, asking quietly, “What are Your Highness’s plans?”

Xu Zening smiled wearily and shook his head, then waved dismissively. “Xu Liangeng is already overwhelmed. The Horse Market will soon be out of his hands.”

Shen Roujia was taken aback. “How did you—”

Xu Zening continued, “The person who brought the infected items into the palace wasn’t just anyone. It was Consort Shu’s elder brother, who currently holds office in the northern district. His tenure has already caused several significant problems.”

“Very soon.”

With that, Xu Zening said no more, slowly closing his eyes. “Lately, I’ve been truly exhausted.”

Shen Roujia, like an eager helper, looked at him with concern. “Your Highness, I thought… I thought you would let this go again.”

Xu Zening lifted his eyelids slightly, chuckling softly without saying a word.

“How is An’er?” he asked.

Shen Roujia nodded. “That little rascal is truly lucky. He’s probably still fast asleep, even in this situation.”

Xu Zening laughed even more at that. “When he’s older, we’ll have him train to be stronger. He can’t always hide under others’ protection.”

As Xu Zening spoke, it was as if he were radiating a kind of halo.

Shen Roujia had never considered that someone could be genuinely, inherently kind, yet Xu Zening displayed no pretense at all.

It was as if these actions were as natural to him as eating or drinking.
