Zhou Yujie was seriously injured. Even though his body was inhabited by the soul of an adult, his physical body was only two years old.

In addition, Rong Ruo had previously used some methods to make him sick in the snow, and he had not yet recovered. He was also beaten up. How could he possibly withstand it?

He immediately fell into a coma. Zhou Shiyuan only realized what he had done after venting his anger, and quickly sent someone to fetch a doctor.

He dared not make a sound and told everyone in the courtyard to keep quiet. If anyone asked, he should only say that he had fallen from the artificial hill.

This matter alarmed Old Madam Zhou.

Originally, she looked down on Zhou Yujie's status, but considering how intelligent he was, Old Madam Zhou still had a lot of hope for him, so she came over immediately.

Upon seeing Zhou Yujie, she realized that the maid had been too lenient.

Moreover, as soon as she saw those injuries, she knew that she hadn't fallen from the artificial hill, but had been beaten.

Since the last rumor, Yuan Zhao has been avoiding Zhou Yujie. Zhou Yujie has tried to visit several times but was turned away each time. He has been staying in Zhou Shiyuan's courtyard.

Now that the child is injured like this, it goes without saying who hit him.

After suppressing her anger and dismissing the servants, the old lady scolded in a low voice:

"What are you doing? Are you crazy?"

With the imperial examinations just around the corner, he still managed to cause these kinds of trouble.

There's nothing wrong with a father disciplining his son, but beating him to death is a serious problem.

Besides, the child is only two years old. If word gets out, it will always be Zhou Shiyuan who is in the wrong.

Zhou Shiyuan also felt wronged. He was in a fit of anger when he saw Zhou Yujie.

Zhou Yujie's cry of "Father!" also spurred him on.

Bai Mianmian is so promiscuous, is Zhou Yujie really her son?

Seeing Zhou Shiyuan's expression, Old Madam Zhou knew why he had reacted that way.

She had only just found out about this, and she was furious.

Her worst fears came true.

Because of Bai Mianmian, Zhou's father and Zhou Shiyuan are about to develop a rift.

She didn't think Bai Mianmian had such methods. She went to see Yuan Zhao today, so this matter must be related to Yuan Zhao.

But even if you know, what can you do?

What's done is done.

Thinking of this, she could only soften her tone and say:

"There must be some misunderstanding about this. Let's talk about it after we meet your father tomorrow."

"Misunderstand?"

Zhou Shiyuan sneered:

"What other misunderstanding could there be?"

"We can't exactly say that Yuan Zhao was behind this too, can we?"

"Was it Yuan Zhao who sent Father to find Bai Mianmian? Was it Yuan Zhao who told Father to stay?"

Zhou Shiyuan shouted harder and harder, until he was almost screaming hysterically.

When Old Madam Zhou saw his ferocious appearance, she was startled and couldn't help but take a step back before saying:

"Shiyuan, calm down. The imperial examination is just over a month away. We absolutely cannot afford to have anything go wrong at this crucial time."

Upon hearing the words "Spring Examination," Zhou Shiyuan calmed down temporarily.

Yes, the imperial examinations in spring, there are still imperial examinations in spring.

Once he shines in the imperial examination and wins first place, he won't have to suffer these humiliations anymore.

He could ignore Bai Mianmian, his father, his grandmother, and Yuan Zhao.

Seeing that his expression had cleared up, Old Madam Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief. In such cold weather, her back was soaked with sweat, which showed how scared she had been.

She couldn't care less about Zhou Yujie, who was still unconscious, and hurriedly told Zhou Shiyuan to take good care of Zhou Yujie before leaving.

Zhou Shiyuan glanced at Zhou Yujie, who was still unconscious on the bed, and a look of disgust appeared in his eyes.
