Wen Feng already knew that Rong Ruo was staying with them. After thinking for a moment, Yuan Zhao also called Linglong in and told them about Rong Ruo in detail.

Wenfeng was alright, as she already knew, but Linglong was completely bewildered. It wasn't until they left the courtyard that she realized what Yuan Zhao had said. She grabbed Wenfeng's hand and looked at her in shock.

Wen Feng nodded to her, his eyes filled with sorrow, and said:

"Therefore, we cannot let Miss continue to suffer like this."

“The people of the Yongning Marquis’s mansion deserve to die.”

"yes!"

Linglong responded coldly.

If it weren't for Zhou's mother repeatedly mentioning Rong Ruo to Miss, how could Miss have gone to provoke that wicked star back then?

What's most infuriating is that even though the people in the Yongning Marquis's mansion clearly knew all this, they still didn't give the young lady a kind look.

They were all supported by the young lady, yet they all insulted her.

Yuan Zhao was unaware of what the two maids were thinking. She spent the whole afternoon trying to come up with a way to please Rong Ruo.

Last time, Rong Ruo seemed to like the food she made herself, so today Yuan Zhao specially went to the kitchen and made a few good dishes, just waiting for Rong Ruo to come and eat.

Rong Ruo arrived very early today, arriving just as darkness fell.

Upon entering the house, he saw a table full of dishes. He raised an eyebrow, and Yuan Zhao tactfully came forward to greet him.

"Master Supervisor, you've arrived!"

As she spoke, she asked Wenfeng to take Rongruo's cloak, but Rongruo avoided her.

"go out!"

Rong Ruo spoke with a cold face.

Wen Feng and Linglong shuddered in fright and glanced at Yuan Zhao instinctively. Yuan Zhao nodded to them, and they quickly left.

Yuan Zhao thought Rong Ruo was angry again, but thankfully, Rong Ruo only said:

"I don't like anyone being in the house."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao pursed her lips. Did she not like having people in the room?

Isn't she human?

As if knowing what she was thinking, Rong Ruo gave a soft rebuke:

"I have never considered you a human being."

Yuan Zhao: "..."

Suppressing the words that were about to spill from his mouth, Yuan Zhao forced a smile with great difficulty.

"My lord, I have specially prepared some delicious dishes today. Would you do me the honor of trying them?"

Rong Ruo raised his eyes and glanced at her, his narrow eyes filled with emotions that Yuan Zhao could not understand.

After a long pause, Rong Ruo spoke impatiently:

"explain!"

Yuan Zhao was taken aback at first, then understood Rong Ruo's meaning. She bit her lip and said:

"My Lord, I beg you to spare a life."

As she spoke, she recounted Jinzhu's story.

"Please, Your Excellency, show mercy!"

Upon hearing this, Rong Ruo neither agreed nor disagreed. He simply blew on the railing, and the gyrfalcon that was resting on the railing suddenly flew onto his shoulder.

Rong Ruo ignored Yuan Zhao and went straight to tease the gyrfalcon on his shoulder.

Yuan Zhao felt like she had become the eagle on Rong Ruo's shoulder. It looked fierce, but it had long been tamed and obedient. Wasn't Rong Ruo teasing her now?

Just as Yuan Zhao was about to ask, Rong Ruo finally spoke.

"In your eyes, who am I?"

A great demon, a ruthless killer, a psychopath, a madman...

A string of adjectives flashed through Yuan Zhao's mind, but she wasn't out of her mind, so she naturally knew that these words couldn't be said.

As she was thinking of flattering words, she heard Rong Ruo say with a half-smile:

"I want to hear the truth. If you dare to utter a single lie, I will personally send you to your death."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao felt a chill run down her spine. She subconsciously looked at Rong Ruo, only to see a smile playing on his lips, but his eyes seemed to be filled with venom.

Either way, we're doomed!

Yuan Zhao had never felt anything so difficult!

What should she do?
