When Yuan Zhao entered the room, he discovered that not only the Zhou family father and son, but also people from the second and third branches of the family had come. However, it wasn't them who were crying, but rather several of the old lady's closest maids.

"What's wrong with Grandma?"

Yuan Zhao pretended to be unaware and asked:

"I just heard from the maid that Grandmother fainted. How did you take care of her?"

Upon hearing this, many people instinctively looked at the Zhou father and son.

Many people in the manor know about the commotion caused by the Zhou father and son today.

Zhou's father originally wanted to pick up Zhou Yujie, but Zhou Shiyuan refused, and the two started arguing, which eventually escalated into a physical fight.

The second and third wives also knew about this.

The second wife was straightforward, and upon hearing Yuan Zhao's words, she immediately sneered and said:

"I'm afraid we'll have to ask my elder brother and Se-yeon about that."

The expressions of Zhou's father and Zhou Shiyuan were extremely unpleasant, especially those of Zhou Shiyuan.

Although it was said to the outside world that Madam Zhou had fallen, only he knew that he was the one who pushed her when she fell.

With the imperial examinations just around the corner, what if others find out about this?

Zhou Shiyuan dared not think any further and could only speak first:

"This is my fault. My grandmother's health is already poor, and I shouldn't have argued with my father in front of her!"

He began to whitewash the situation, and Zhou's father naturally cooperated.

After all, it's not something to be proud of if word gets out that a fight between a father and son resulted in the mother falling into a coma.

How could my husband do this?

"No matter what, your father is an elder. How could you argue with him?"

Yuan Zhao said with a hint of reproach.

Zhou Shiyuan was furious. He couldn't believe that Yuan Zhao knew nothing about it, yet he still said such things. It was truly despicable.

He gritted his teeth and remained silent, but then he heard Yuan Zhao say:

"I wonder what my husband and father are arguing about?"

Neither the Zhou father nor his son spoke after that.

In fact, Zhou Shiyuan harbored deep resentment towards his father. The more his father doted on Bai Mianmian, the more Zhou Shiyuan felt that his father was making things difficult for him.

Who knew that this wasn't the end of it? Today, Zhou's father even had the nerve to come and ask for Zhou Yujie back.

So, taking his woman wasn't enough for her, now she wants his son too?

Zhou Shiyuan couldn't swallow this insult, which is why he started fighting with his father.

However, no matter what, fighting with one's own father would be a grave act of filial impiety if word got out, so naturally he dared not say it.

Zhou's father also felt ashamed, after all, it wasn't a glorious thing for his son to talk about his woman stealing his son.

Looking at the grim faces of the Zhou father and son, Yuan Zhao glanced at the mocking second and third branches of the family, and slowly spoke:

"Whatever the reason, I urge Father and Husband to prioritize the greater good."

"The imperial examinations are just around the corner. Whether our Marquis's mansion can succeed depends on this one."

"Nobody wants any more mishaps, right? After all, bringing glory to the family still depends entirely on my husband."

Upon hearing Yuan Zhao's words, everyone had their own thoughts.

Even Zhou's father was thinking that Zhou Shiyuan was no longer under his control, and if he really won, who knew what he would do to him.

Meanwhile, the second and third wives were also thinking about this issue, as Zhou Shiyuan was becoming increasingly difficult to get along with.

If they really succeed, how will they ever have a good life again?

The group of people had very different thoughts, and Yuan Zhao saw this and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

She glanced again at the still unconscious Madam Zhou on the bed, thinking to herself that it was fortunate the old woman was unconscious, otherwise she would probably die of anger if she saw her children and grandchildren like this.

Just as everyone was having their own thoughts, the doctor they had invited finally arrived.
