Yuan Zhao remembered that she was supposed to get up early, but when she woke up it was almost noon the next day, and Rong Ruo, who was sleeping on the inside, was nowhere to be seen.

Why am I sleeping so soundly?

Yuan Zhao felt a pang of worry when he realized he didn't even know when Rong Ruo had left.

Has she lost all sense of caution towards Rong Ruo since some point in her life?

Hearing the noise inside, Qingzhu's voice rang out from outside:

"Miss Yuan, are you up?"

She had heard Qingzhu's voice many times, but this was the first time she had heard it sound so obsequious.

Yes, flattery!

Compared to yesterday's respect, today's behavior can truly be described as fawning.

Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Yuan Zhao responded.

Then Qingzhu brought in several eunuchs to help Yuan Zhao wash up.

"I can do it myself."

Yuan Zhao dared not trouble this popular person. He washed up by himself, and Qingzhu had already had food brought over.

"This was specially prepared by our master."

Hearing this, Yuan Zhao felt even more strange.

You should know that Qingzhu had never done this before.

Although Qingzhu was always polite to her when they met before, his politeness was tinged with arrogance and disdain.

Right now, Qingzhu was genuinely respectful to her.

Yuan Zhao naturally wouldn't think that this change was because of her, so after thinking it over, only Rong Ruo remained.

Qingzhu's change in attitude must be related to Rongruo, but why?

Thinking of the unpredictable person from last night, Yuan Zhao felt he couldn't figure him out.

After having his meal, Yuan Zhao dared not linger at the Rong residence and hurried back to the Yongning Marquis's residence.

As soon as she returned, Wenfeng greeted her:

"Miss, we just received a message from the General's Mansion that you would like to return home when you have time."

Yuan Zhao nodded to indicate that she understood, and that her father and brother must have asked her to go back because of what happened yesterday.

Everything else is easy to handle, but the key issue is Master Wen's visiting card. My father is easy to fool, but my elder brother probably won't believe it.

Yuan Zhao rubbed his temples, pondering how to tell his elder brother. Just then, Jin Zhu walked over and stared intently at Yuan Zhao.

"May I take your pulse?"

Yuan Zhao was taken aback, then remembered what Jin Zhu had blurted out when she left last night. She only knew that Jin Zhu was skilled in using poison, but she did not know that she was also accomplished in medicine.

Yuan Zhao also wanted to know the secret of her body. She wanted to know why her blood was effective on Rong Ruo. After thinking for a moment, she reached out her hand to Jin Zhu.

Jinzhu carefully took his pulse, then frowned slightly:

"So? Did you find anything?"

"Deficiency of Qi and Blood".

This was no different from what the doctor had said before, and Yuan Zhao felt somewhat regretful upon hearing this.

At this point, Jinzhu made a new request.

"I want your blood."

Before Yuan Zhao could speak, Linglong, who was sitting to the side, couldn't sit still any longer:

"No, Miss is already deficient in qi and blood, and you still want to draw blood."

She didn't like Jinzhu very much. Although Jinzhu had been there for a while, she found her personality gloomy and difficult to get along with.

Moreover, she had no sense of being a servant and didn't know what to do every day.

Everything else is one thing, but now they even want to take the young lady's blood. She's the first person to disagree.

Jinzhu ignored Linglong, staring intently at Yuan Zhao, and said with a pursed lip:

“If you let me take your blood, I’m willing to stay by your side for another year.”

"Hello……"

Linglong was about to speak when Yuanzhao readily agreed:

"good!"
