With each sentence Zhou Yujie spoke, Zhou Shiyuan's face darkened by one degree; by the end, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He glared fiercely at Zhou Yujie, whose pupils contracted and he showed a frightened expression.

"Father, did I say something wrong?"

Zhou Shiyuan suppressed his anger, telling himself he couldn't lose control any longer.

The imperial examinations are just around the corner, and we cannot afford any mishaps.

"You read your books and ask fewer questions."

After saying this, Zhou Shiyuan stormed off. Zhou Yujie's face showed a hint of regret. He was thinking that Zhou Shiyuan was now a madman, so he should make good use of him.

The best course of action would be to make him take action against Yuan Zhao. Given the fierce protectiveness of the Yuan family, Zhou Shiyuan would definitely not have a good ending.

In this way, both Zhou Shiyuan and Yuan Zhao can be eliminated at the same time.

pity……

Zhou Shiyuan's small eyes darted around, as if he was plotting something.

Leaving aside what happened in the Yongning Marquis's residence for the time being, the Yuan family was in an uproar.

Wen Feng originally intended to tell the eldest young master about Yuan Zhao's situation, but he didn't expect that neither the eldest nor the second young master were there, only Yuan's father was present.

When she returned, Yuan's father felt something was amiss. After asking her a few questions and seeing her stammering, he immediately realized something was wrong.

Although Yuan's father was impatient, it didn't mean he was stupid. If he really was stupid, he wouldn't have been able to command the Yuan family army.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Yuan's father asked with a cold expression.

Father Yuan only showed a kind face to Yuan Zhao; he had a fierce look on everyone else. Now, his stern face made people even more afraid. Wen Feng dared not hide anything and could only say that Qing Zhu had taken Yuan Zhao away last night, and Yuan Zhao had not returned yet.

Upon hearing this, Yuan's father slammed his fist on the table, and Bo Ran flew into a rage:

"How did you serve me? You're only reporting back today about what happened last night?"

"Go and receive your punishment first."

Having said that, Yuan's father, no longer caring about arguing with Wenfeng, shouted:

"Someone, come with me to the Rong residence."

When Sister-in-law Yuan heard the news and came over, she saw her father Yuan hurriedly leaving with his men. She asked around and found out that her father Yuan had taken his men to the Rong residence. Her expression changed, and she immediately realized that something was wrong. She quickly sent someone to deliver a message to Yuan Gu.

At this time, Yuan Zhao was unaware of the huge trouble she had caused; she woke up at noon.

"How is the Supervisor?"

Yuan Zhao asked casually.

Upon hearing this, a hint of relief flashed in Qingzhu's eyes, and she said:

"The Grand Eunuch slept well last night and went to the morning court. Now, the Grand Eunuch is waiting for Miss Yuan to have dinner together in the dining hall."

Yuan Zhao was indeed a little hungry. She was anemic to begin with, and last night she had emptied a bowl of blood, so she felt a bit dizzy. This was one of the reasons why she slept for so long today.

Moreover, the blood-nourishing medicinal cuisine prepared by the Rong family was indeed quite good; she ate a meal of it last night and already felt much better.

Thinking of this, she did not refuse. After tidying up, she went to the kitchen and sat down.

Upon seeing Rong Ruo, Yuan Zhao knew that what Qing Zhu had said was true; the jinx's complexion had clearly improved.

Seeing her looking at him, Rong Ruo slowly lifted his eyelids and said impatiently:

"You can take a few more items from the warehouse."

Last time, he mentioned that Yuan Zhao could go to the storeroom to choose a few things, but Yuan Zhao never came. This time is just in time.

Yuan Zhao was about to speak when Nan Shan, another personal attendant of Rong Ruo, walked in with a cold expression. He glanced at Yuan Zhao first, then bowed to Rong Ruo and said:

"Master, General Yuan and his men are outside the mansion gate, requesting to see the Grand Eunuch!"
