"who?"

Yuan Zhao couldn't help but ask.

Yuan Gu had a guess in his mind, but he was not sure.

He remembered that he was chatting with Zhou Lin about going on a spring outing that day when he saw Rong Ruo in the distance.

At that time, Zhou Lin had spoken ill of Rong Ruo, and he was worried that Rong Ruo would hear him.

The next day, the Wang family suddenly sent someone to deliver a message. He was worried and went with them, and that's when the rest of the story began.

Then, on the day of the spring outing, Rong Ruo suddenly appeared and said those words.

At the time, they all thought he was conveying the Emperor's dissatisfaction with the Yuan family, but now, upon closer reflection, it seems more likely that he wanted Zhou Lin to misunderstand something.

He hadn't thought about it carefully before, but now that he does, it's all a problem.

Yuan Gu poured out all his guesses, and the more he talked, the more it seemed to be true.

His face turned extremely ugly:

"What a fine Rong Ruo!"

Upon hearing these words, Yuan Zhao's expression changed.

She never imagined that this matter was actually orchestrated by Rong Ruo.

Although it seems unbelievable, if it is Rong Ruo's work, then everything can be explained.

After all, only he could scheme against people silently and without leaving a trace; he could come and go as he pleased.

But why?

Why would he scheme against his own elder brother?

Just because his older brother said some unpleasant things before?

Yuan Zhao felt that there seemed to be some truth to it, after all, that person was indeed vindictive.

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Zhao calmed himself down before speaking:

"Brother, let's put this matter aside for now."

Rong Ruo is not easy to deal with. He is not like the Marquis of Yongning. His eyes and ears are everywhere. At this moment, what they are saying may have already reached his ears.

They have little chance of winning against people like that.

Yuan Gu wore a cold expression, feeling resentful.

He was furious that Rong Ruo had almost caused him and his wife to drift apart.

Most importantly, he is now certain that the person is after his sister.

How dare he?

He's a eunuch with such a reputation, yet he still dares to make advances on Zhaozhao.

A murderous glint flashed in Yuan Gu's eyes.

However, he was not an impulsive person, and he knew that Rong Ruo was not easy to deal with.

Killing Rong Ruo is not something that can be done overnight; it must be done gradually.

Although Rong Ruo wielded immense power and was highly regarded by the emperor, it was precisely this high regard that made several princes very dissatisfied with him.

The Yuan family is now walking on thin ice, and Rong Ruo's life is not so easy either.

Thinking about this, Yuan Gu gradually calmed down:

"Zhaozhao, don't be afraid, you still have your father and brothers."

“Your father and brothers will surely protect you.”

If you want to take advantage of them, you have to ask them first.

After bidding farewell to her elder brother, Yuan Zhao returned to her courtyard with a cold expression. She still did not allow Wen Feng and the others to serve her, and sat in her room by herself.

She didn't sleep; instead, she waited for Rong Ruo to appear.

She was certain that Rong Ruo would appear.

Sure enough, not long after, Rong Ruo appeared in her room dressed in casual clothes.

Seeing her sitting there so gracefully, he raised an eyebrow:

"You've been quite obedient today."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao looked up at him:

"Master Supervisor, there is something I want to ask you."

Rong Ruo raised his eyelids and glanced at her:

"explain!"

"Was it the Chief Supervisor who did what happened to my elder brother?"

Yuan Zhao chose to ask directly because she knew Rong Ruo would never lie.

Sure enough, Rong Ruo replied without hesitation:

"yes!"

It's one thing to guess, but it's another to see him admit it.

For some reason, Yuan Zhao's anger suddenly flared up:

"Why?"

"What did my brother do to make you want to harm him like this?"
