"Princess Chaoyang's birthday?"

"That's what Yuan's eldest sister-in-law said."

Yuan Zhao naturally knew about Princess Chaoyang.

The current emperor had a younger sister, both born of the same mother. The emperor naturally treated his only sister very well and bestowed upon her the title of Princess after ascending the throne.

Many years ago, the eldest princess chose a husband, and the two were a loving couple. However, the eldest princess did not have many children, and only Princess Chaoyang was born to her.

It was precisely for this reason that Princess Chaoyang was deeply loved by the princess and the emperor. It was said that Princess Chaoyang was even more favored by the emperor than those proper princesses.

In her previous life, she did not receive an invitation from the Princess's residence.

This time, Princess Chaoyang actually sent her a separate visiting card, which greatly surprised her.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Yuan family wasn't particularly surprised by this. After thinking for a moment, she said:

"That Princess Chaoyang's favorite thing is to practice swordsmanship and spear fighting; she has a very manly demeanor."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao nodded thoughtfully.

In her past life, she wished she could change her background and hated her father's rudeness the most, so it's no wonder that Princess Chaoyang didn't send her an invitation.

This time was different. Putting aside what she had done before, the fact that she divorced her husband was enough to attract attention.

Yuan's eldest sister-in-law thought for a moment and said:

"If you don't want to go, I'll use your illness as an excuse to decline."

Not everyone can accept a woman divorcing her husband. It's Princess Chaoyang's birthday, and all the ladies and young women from various families will definitely be there. She's worried that if she doesn't keep an eye on one of them, someone might say something unpleasant.

"Go, why not go?"

Yuan Zhao declined his sister-in-law's offer.

She felt this was an opportunity.

After returning to the capital, she didn't have much interaction with the people there.

Sometimes, the interactions between women in the inner quarters are also a very important aspect, and may yield unexpected results.

Moreover, this time it was Princess Chaoyang who sent the invitation, taking the initiative to express her desire to get closer. She would be a fool not to seize the opportunity.

As for what anyone has to say.

People can say whatever they want, but there's one condition: don't say it to her face, or she won't be easy to deal with.

Seeing that she had already made up her mind, Yuan's eldest sister-in-law did not stop her; on the contrary, she encouraged her to go out and socialize.

The rumors circulating outside say Yuan Zhao is a shrew. Only by letting those people see for themselves will they know how good their Zhao Zhao is.

It has to be said that at this point, the eldest sister-in-law, like the father and brothers of the Yuan family, had long since become a doting brother, finding everything about her sister pleasing to the eye.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing your older brother asked me to tell you."

The eldest sister-in-law of the Yuan family thought of something, and her face was filled with an irrepressible smile:

"Just as you suspected, the Zhou family really did risk their lives last night to try and climb over the wall to find something."

"But you ended up getting a severe beating from the guards your brother sent to watch over you."

They received the news this morning, and upon hearing it, they found it both hilarious and deeply aware of the Zhou family's shamelessness.

Yuan Zhao was right; they actually went back without fear of death.

Yuan Zhao laughed upon hearing this:

"Just wait and see, there'll be more trouble to come."

Those people would do anything, no matter how shameless, for money.

"Yes, I heard that they haven't even buried the old lady of the Zhou family yet, and everyone is making excuses."

Thinking about the news she had heard, Yuan's eldest sister-in-law felt a little sad.

After this incident, the Zhou family is completely disgraced. Not only them, but all the Zhou family members have lost face.

"Where's Zhou Shiyuan? Is he dead?"

Yuan Zhao asked calmly.
