Rong Ruo hadn't reacted yet, but Yuan Zhao stood up abruptly upon hearing this.

What?

Her father actually came?

Rong Ruo glanced at Yuan Zhao before speaking calmly:

"Please invite the General in."

Nanshan paused for a moment before saying:

"Please come this way?"

Rong Ruo glanced at him, and Nan Shan immediately understood, quickly retreating.

After descending Nanshan Mountain, Rongruo acted as if nothing had happened, continuing to eat slowly and leisurely, taking bites here and there.

Yuan Zhao was anxious, wanting to ask something but not knowing how to start.

She didn't know why her father had come, but it was clear that he had come with ill intentions.

She looked anxiously towards the door, and soon, her father and two guards appeared before her.

"Father, what brings you here?"

"Zhaozhao, are you alright?"

The father and daughter asked the question almost simultaneously.

Seeing that his daughter was only a little pale and otherwise unharmed, Yuan's father breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his expression remained stern.

He turned to look at Rong Ruo, and said with a stern expression:

"I heard that last night the Grand Eunuch had my daughter brought to your residence. I would like to ask the Grand Eunuch, what is the meaning of this?"

Yuan Zhao was startled upon hearing this. She didn't know how her father knew about this, but it was clear that they couldn't continue like this. Most importantly, her father, an upright man, had no chance against Rong Ruo, a cunning and treacherous person.

She quickly said:

"Father, it's not what you think..."

Before Yuan Zhao could finish speaking, his father interrupted him:

"Zhaozhao, Father is asking the Chief Supervisor a question."

After speaking, Yuan's father gave Yuan Zhao a stern look. This was the first time he had looked at Yuan Zhao with such an expression, and Yuan Zhao was stunned.

Zhou's father turned to Rongruo:

“Master, my daughter is already married, as you should know.”

Upon hearing this, Rong Ruo put down his chopsticks and gave a soft rebuke:

"It really surprises me that the General seems to like such a son-in-law."

Yuan's father was a man with a short temper. He and Rong Ruo usually kept to themselves, but deep down he disliked Rong Ruo and always felt that he relied on his looks to make a living.

She won the emperor's heart because she was good at serving and had a beautiful face.

Despite their desperate battles on the battlefield, they were still feared by the emperor.

He didn't want to argue with Rong Ruo, but who knew that this person would dare to bully his precious daughter? Naturally, he couldn't tolerate it.

Hearing his words again felt like a knife to his heart.

If it weren't for Zhaozhao's fear that the Emperor would harm the Yuan family, his precious daughter wouldn't have had to endure so much suffering and stay in the Zhou family. It could be said that Rongruo's words were like dancing in a graveyard, successfully escalating Yuan's father's anger to another level.

He roared:

"I have heard that you, Chief Supervisor, are skilled in martial arts, but I have never had the opportunity to witness it. Today, I hope you will grant me this opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao's eyelids twitched, and she quickly said:

"Father, no."

Although she only knew some basic martial arts skills, she could still tell who was more skilled.

She had witnessed Rong Ruo's deadly moves without even lifting a finger; her father, having been truly honed on the battlefield, was no match for him.

Thinking of this, she not only spoke up, but also stepped forward to stop them. She even subconsciously stood in front of Yuan's father.

She was on guard against Rong Ruo suddenly making a move, as that wicked man had a bad temper to begin with.

However, from Yuan's father's perspective, he felt that she was protecting Rong Ruo.

His expression immediately changed drastically:

"What exactly is your relationship with Rong Ruo?"
