Imperial physicians are not something anyone can just summon at will. Given the current dilapidated state of the Yongning Marquis's residence, they generally wouldn't bother with it.

Zhou Shiyuan became increasingly agitated upon hearing the servant's words.

As Zhou Yujie's face grew increasingly pale, Zhou Shiyuan grew more and more panicked.

That day, he lost his temper and threw a tantrum, which was heard by everyone in the courtyard.

Although he repeatedly ordered them not to tell anyone, people's hearts are unpredictable, and there are no secrets that stay hidden forever.

If Zhou Yujie really couldn't make it through, then he would be branded as a son murderer. Thinking of this, Zhou Shiyuan became even more anxious.

But right now he can't think of any better way.

Seeing him pacing anxiously, the servant offered a suggestion:

"Young Master, should we ask the Young Madam for help?"

"Her father is a great general."

Yuan's father held a high position and wielded great power; who wouldn't give him some face?

As long as Yuan Zhao speaks up, a royal physician will surely be willing to come.

Should we ask Yuan Zhao for help?

Zhou Shiyuan instinctively refused; ever since he returned, he had never won against Yuan Zhao.

He could already guess what Yuan Zhao's expression would be later.

But if we don't go, are we really just going to watch Zhou Yujie die?

Thinking about his future, Zhou Shiyuan gritted his teeth and finally went to Yuan Zhao's courtyard.

He was prepared to be humiliated, but to his surprise, he was blocked outside the courtyard before he could even get through the gate.

Who are you?

Zhou Shiyuan looked at Qingcheng and Hongzhao; he seemed to have never seen these two people with Yuanzhao before.

However, aren't these two maids a little too beautiful?

Even though Zhou Shiyuan was extremely anxious at this moment, he still couldn't help but look at the two of them for a while longer.

"Miss has already retired for the night. Please return, young master."

Qingcheng's reply was gentle and polite, yet one could still sense her arrogance.

Zhou Shiyuan was already seething with anger, and now that even a maid dared to give him the cold shoulder, his face darkened immediately.

Do you know who I am?

Qingcheng and Hongzhao exchanged a glance, and Hongzhao burst out laughing.

"Of course I know. You are the former heir apparent of the Yongning Marquis who was stripped of his title and then cuckolded by his own father!"

Every word Hong Zhao uttered hit Zhou Shiyuan's sore spots perfectly.

He could tolerate Yuan Zhao, but now that even her maids were so arrogant and domineering, he couldn't stand it anymore.

He kicked Yuan Zhao with all his might; if he had hit her, she would have been crippled or killed. However, Hong Zhao dodged the kick and even tripped Zhou Shiyuan with her foot.

Zhou Shiyuan was already on one foot and his center of gravity was unstable. When Yuan Zhao tripped him, he fell flat on his face.

"Pfft."

Qingcheng and Hongzhao laughed without any restraint.

When Wenfeng and Linglong heard the commotion and came over, they saw Zhou Shiyuan making a fool of himself, and they laughed along with him.

Linglong said even more bluntly:

“Young Master Zhou, it’s not New Year’s yet, there’s no need to kowtow. Besides, we servants can’t bear to see you like this.”

Upon hearing this, the four maids burst into laughter.

With such a commotion outside, Yuan Zhao and Rong Ruo naturally heard it.

Rong Ruo was sharp-eared and sharp-eyed; he heard everything that had just happened outside.

Yuan Zhao, unaware of this, looked as if she wanted to go out and see Zhou Shiyuan make a fool of himself.

“If you leave now, the child’s life or death will be in your hands.”

Rong Ruo said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not go out.

Rong Ruo is right. After they left, Zhou Shiyuan spoke, and she was caught in a dilemma: she neither agreed nor disagreed.

Besides, now that the imperial physician has been brought back, who can guarantee that he can cure Zhou Yujie? If word gets out, it will be her fault.

She wouldn't be so cold-blooded if it were someone else.

However, Zhou Yujie himself is an anomaly.

Forget it, why get yourself into trouble just to watch the show?

Seeing that she just wanted to watch the excitement, Rongruo raised her eyelids and glanced at Qingzhu. Qingzhu immediately understood and stepped forward to embellish the story outside, making Yuan Zhao smile.

"The supervisor's subordinates are indeed all remarkable people."

Rong Ruo, without even looking up, said:

"It's yours from now on!"
