Chapter 654: Your Doings

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mrs. Duke North’s eyes were sparkling. She was looking at Zheng Chenyi with expectation.

Duke North passed away ages ago and Zheng Chenyi was too young when that happened, but the King had promised Zheng Chenyi the rank. Zheng Chenyi was going to be 20 years old this year, and Mrs. Duke North had been waiting for too long for the order to be passed down. So she asked the Old Master of the Min Family to ask about the situation.

What the Min Family said was that the King did not have the intention of passing on the rank to Young Duke right now, but would like to wait until the New Year’s time when the rank was given and celebrations were conducted. Therefore, Mrs. Duke North had been counting the days.

She was looking forward to seeing the rank granted to him as soon as possible. She had been waiting more than a decade, so she hoped that the day could arrive soon!

The King rarely asked anyone from Duke North’s family to the court, but today was different. Chenyi was asked to go to the court to see him. That must be about the rank!

Zheng Chenyi looked at mother’s eyes that were full of expectations.

He did not dare to tell her directly what happened, fearing that she would not be able to accept that.

His father was already gone. His mother had been raising him alone in the Mansion. He understood clearly how difficult the growing time was for them when he almost ate a poisoned porridge at the age of six. The Zheng Family could not keep him, because as long as he was alive, the rank would never be granted to anyone else in the family. Only when he was dead could anyone else have the opportunity.

What his mother had been doing was to defend him against the Zheng Family, but now… the King was making him compete with the other family brothers to win the rank!

What was that! That was insulting his parents!

Zheng Chenyi sighed heavily and forced a smile as he faced his mother. “Mom, don’t get anxious. The King asked me about my health and if I am able to participate in the Spring Hunt! As for the rank, he would not tell me anything in private, he will announce it in the court!”

“Don’t worry, I will get the rank no matter what, it is just a matter of time. The New Year is around the corner, so just wait a little longer,” Zheng Chenyi said happily and told the housekeeper. “You can ask some ladies to keep mom company, so that she will not get bored.”

The housekeeper responded politely.

Mrs. Duke North calmed herself down after hearing Zheng Chenyi’s explanation. Mrs. Duke North said unhappily as ladies were mentioned. “Those ladies keep coming to me and you like none of them. I have no point in talking with them at all.”

Zhen Chenyi showed a bitter smile.

He had someone he would like to marry, but that person was already engaged and there was nothing he could do. However, he was not going to make his mother worried any more. Zheng Chenyi forced a smile and said, “You can help me find one you like. Hopefully I can get married next summer. I am already old enough to get married.”

“Really?” Mrs. Duke North was quite happy.

Zheng Chenyi nodded and returned to his own courtyard with a complicated expression.

Mrs. Duke North was now really delighted – her son had approved of the thing he had never approved of.

Before she was able to tell the housekeeper what to do, Madame Zheng arrived. So she frowned and asked.. “What are you doing here?”
