Not to mention the onlookers, even the court officials couldn't understand Rong Ruo's actions.

The news that Rong Ruo, that wicked star, had sent several cartloads of lavish gifts to the General's Mansion had already reached their ears, leaving everyone utterly bewildered.

What is this jinx trying to do?

The family is overflowing with money, so they want to send some out?

But why send it to the General's Mansion?

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince shared the same thought. They were the first to learn of the news, but they couldn't understand why Rong Ruo would do such a thing.

No one suspected Yuan Zhao, because they all thought it was impossible.

It's not uncommon for eunuchs to have sex with women, but it's all done in private. Who would bring it out into the open?

As for marrying, no one had ever thought of it. How could a eunuch possibly marry? Especially the apple of the eye of a great general?

Only the Yuan family knew what was going on. Listening to the discussions around them, the faces of the Yuan father and son turned as black as could be.

"Send it back!"

Yuan's father spoke coldly.

"General, my master said that if you don't want it, then just leave it at the door."

"I will only return when you have requested it."

Qingzhu spoke up.

Rong Ruo sent him to do this task, and he was in a terrible predicament.

His master truly knew nothing of human relationships or social etiquette, or rather, he simply didn't care and acted only according to his own will, completely unaware of the sensation his actions would cause.

Or perhaps, the master did this on purpose.

Let everyone be mentally prepared so that the imperial edict won't come too abruptly.

Yuan's father was already in a bad mood, and upon hearing Qingzhu's words, he angrily rebuked her:

"Are you threatening me, General?"

"...This servant wouldn't dare!"

Qingzhu truly felt bitter.

Things he had dealt with in the past were never this complicated, but ever since his master began to treat Miss Yuan with such miraculous power, he had become increasingly at a loss as to what to do.

"General, my master meant well."

Qingzhu said tactfully.

"roll!"

Yuan Gu gave a cold shout and then had the door closed.

At this moment, Yuan Zhao in the backyard already knew everything that had happened outside the door.

Hearing Linglong vividly describe the treasures in those carts, Yuan Zhao was completely numb. Rong Ruo really was a madman!

Hearing the commotion, Yuan's eldest sister-in-law also came to Yuan Zhao's courtyard. She knew more than the outsiders, mainly because Yuan Gu had been frowning for the past few days. After she asked him several times, Yuan Gu finally stammered that Yuan Zhao had fallen in love with someone he shouldn't have.

She initially thought he had taken a liking to a married man or something, and became anxious for several days afterward.

She had originally planned to have a proper talk with Yuan Zhao someday, but then today's events happened.

She was an intelligent person and immediately understood who Rong Ruo had come for.

But she still wasn't sure, and looking at Yuan Zhao, she couldn't help but say:

"Little sister, are all the things outside coming for you?"

Yuan Zhao pursed his lips and said:

"Sister-in-law, I don't know what's wrong with him."

"Wenfeng, go prepare the carriage."

We need to talk to Rong Ruo about this. If he doesn't speak up, those things could really sit in the General's Mansion for a month.

Thinking about this gave Yuan Zhao a headache.

The thought of seeing that wicked star again soon made Yuan Zhao's head ache even more.

While guessing is one thing, Yuan Zhao admitting it himself is another.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Yuan family completely lost control of her expression, her face filled with astonishment and surprise, and her eyes were full of disbelief as she looked at Yuan Zhao.

She never imagined that her sister-in-law would be involved with Rong Ruo, that infamous man.
