The events of today reached Rong Ruo's ears in detail. Rong Ruo raised an eyebrow, as this was somewhat different from what Yuan Zhao had told him before.

At night, he arrived at Yuan Zhao's courtyard as usual and was about to enter when he suddenly noticed something. He looked in one direction.

Wen Feng quickly hid there, not daring to make a sound, while Rong Ruo quickly withdrew his gaze and went into Yuan Zhao's room.

Wen Feng felt a pang of sadness. Remembering what Yuan Zhao had told her before, she gritted her teeth.

It's all because of those damned people in the Marquis's mansion that my young lady has to suffer such injustice.

As soon as Rongruo entered, he saw Yuanzhao sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze. The gyrfalcon was perched on her arm, and she was stroking its fur with her other hand, as if she were stroking a cat.

Rong Ruo raised an eyebrow slightly. Who would have thought that this fierce gyrfalcon would become more docile than a cat in Yuan Zhao's presence?

Not to mention others who didn't believe it, even he himself was somewhat skeptical.

This was his property, and he naturally knew how arrogant this beast was. However, from the beginning, this gyrfalcon did not seem to show any hostility towards Yuan Zhao, and later it became very affectionate towards her.

Hearing the noise, the gyrfalcon raised its eyelids and glanced at Rong Ruo. Seeing that the person who came in was its master, it lowered its eyelids and head and continued to bury its head in its chest, letting Yuan Zhao groom it.

After Rong Ruo removed his cloak, he spoke:

Why did you suddenly change your mind?

You should know that Yuan Zhao had previously tried to ruin Zhou Shiyuan's reputation and prevent him from participating in the imperial examinations.

Although Zhou's mother caused a commotion along the way, with Qingzhu's help, it wouldn't be difficult for Yuan Zhao to accomplish his goal.

He was curious about what made Yuan Zhao change her mind. Could it be that she was still deeply in love with that man?

Realizing this, a shadow of gloom, which he himself was unaware of, flashed in Rong Ruo's eyes, and his aura changed.

The sudden chill in the room brought Yuan Zhao back to her senses. She didn't know Rong Ruo was angry, but thought that the poison in Rong Ruo's body could no longer be suppressed. She took the initiative to move closer to Rong Ruo and nestled in his arms.

Rong Ruo was taken aback by her sudden embrace. He subconsciously reached out and pulled Yuan Zhao closer to him, and the coldness around him instantly dissipated.

Yuan Zhao naturally sensed it too. She found it very strange, wondering what was so special about her that could alleviate the cold poison in this evil star's body.

As she was thinking this, Rong Ruo asked again:

Why did you suddenly change your mind?

Yuan Zhao didn't know why Rong Ruo had suddenly become so interested in these things, but she still said:

"Isn't he eager to participate in the imperial examination? Then I will grant his wish."

What could be more exhilarating than falling to rock bottom at the height of your success?

As Yuan Zhao spoke, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Seeing her sly look, Rong Ruo also curled his lips, seemingly in a very pleasant mood.

If Zhou Shiyuan hadn't used his mother as a shield, she might not have done this.

However, Zhou Shiyuan's actions today have made her fully realize his true colors.

Zhou Shiyuan is a true villain. I originally thought he was only ruthless to himself, but now it seems he is ruthless to everyone. He only cares about himself.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say:

"He is too cruel. He can abandon his own mother without hesitation. Such a person is worse than a pig or a dog."

She wasn't sympathizing with Zhou's mother; there's always a reason why someone is pitiful, and Zhou's mother's current predicament was entirely her own doing.

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something, looked up at Rong Ruo, and said:

"Speaking of which, I haven't sent that thank-you letter to the Chief Supervisor yet."

The visiting card from Master Wen was obtained by Rong Ruo. She was actually quite curious about how Rong Ruo got it, and thinking about this, she couldn't help but ask.

"Does the Chief Supervisor have a connection with Master Wen?"
