Zheng Nianru frowned as she looked at the young boy before her. Why was he crying? She hadn't blamed him for sneaking in, and now he couldn't leave because Zheng Congyuan's men were outside. Going out like this would only cause trouble.
"Don't cry. Do you want to go back to the palace?" Zheng Nianru speculated that Zheng Haoyuan was afraid of Zheng Congyuan, so he had sneaked in but hadn't dared to come out because of her argument with Zheng Congyuan. Now unable to leave, and fearing her scolding, he was in this state.
Zheng Nianru reached out and touched Zheng Haoyuan's head.
"I didn't mean to blame you. Yesterday, your timing was simply unfortunate. Did you want to come and play with me?" said Zheng Nianru. Xing Yu had already let the boy down. Zheng Haoyuan stood there, bewildered; he was still angry, not wanting to deal with anyone, not even wanting to be here.
