The next day, when Yuan Zhao woke up, Rong Ruo was no longer there.

She sat up and felt a strange sensation all over her body. She looked down and her expression changed slightly.

Her fair skin was covered with bluish-purple marks, and in some places there were faint teeth marks.

It goes without saying who left these.

Is that person a dog?

Thinking about how he had suddenly become very sleepy last night, Yuan Zhao quickly realized what was going on.

That guy drugged himself.

Yuan Zhao frowned.

She carefully examined herself and found that apart from the marks on her body, there was nothing unusual about the rest of her body.

Therefore, she had no way of knowing whether Rong Ruo was actually a eunuch as she thought.

That's enough!

Now that she's spending all her time with Rong Ruo, she feels she'll be able to find out sooner or later.

Not wanting others to see the marks on her body, Yuan Zhao changed her clothes before calling Wen Feng and the others.

"Miss."

Wenfeng, Linglong, Qingcheng, and the others quickly came in to prepare things for washing up.

Wenfeng and Linglong secretly glanced at Yuan Zhao and saw that her expression was normal and she did not seem to have been bullied, so the two breathed a sigh of relief.

You should know that the two of them didn't dare to sleep at all last night, constantly worrying about whether Yuan Zhao would be bullied.

"Madam, shall we have our meal now?"

Qingcheng bowed and asked.

Yuan Zhao glanced at the sky outside and asked:

"Where is the Supervisor?"

"The Grand Eunuch has gone to the morning court session; judging by the time, he should be back soon."

The beauty replied.

Yuan Zhao thought for a moment and said:

"In that case, let's wait for the Supervisor to return so we can do it together."

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng and Hongzhao's expressions noticeably improved.

"You may leave now."

Yuan Zhao said.

Knowing that Chu Qing did not trust them, Qingcheng and the others did not insist on keeping them. They bowed and then withdrew.

When only the three of them—master and servant—were present, Linglong quickly asked:

"Miss, you haven't been wronged, have you?"

"What grievances could you possibly endure?"

Yuan Zhao smiled.

Linglong opened her mouth, wanting to say that every time she returned from Rongruo's place in the past three years, her mistress seemed to have lost half her life.

Yuan Zhao knew what Linglong was thinking, but some things were difficult to explain, so he could only vaguely say:

"Things are different now."

Rong Ruo used to treat her like a blood bank, but now he feels like she's a bone, and Rong Ruo is the dog that wants to gnaw on the bone.

Thinking about his own analogy, Yuan Zhao couldn't help but laugh.

Both Wenfeng and Linglong were surprised to see her smile.

Even now, the two still can't believe that Yuan Zhao married Rong Ruo because she liked him. They think that Rong Ruo must have used some means to threaten their young lady.

However, seeing Yuan Zhao's smiling face now, the two of them felt uncertain for the first time.

Yuan Zhao was lost in thought when he heard a noise outside. A moment later, Rong Ruo came in.

He was someone who didn't like being waited on in his room. Wen Feng originally wanted to go forward and help him take off his official robes, but after being given a cold look by him, he didn't dare to do so.

"You may leave now."

Remembering that he disliked being served, Yuan Zhao spoke up:

"Go and tell the kitchen to prepare breakfast."

Wen Feng and Linglong quickly retreated.

When Rongruo heard her say she was having breakfast, he glanced at her, seemingly surprised that she hadn't eaten yet.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhao spoke up:

"Knowing you'll be back soon, I'm waiting for you to come back so we can use it together."

As she said this, she carefully observed Rong Ruo's expression.

Sure enough, upon hearing her say that, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. Although it was not obvious, Yuan Zhao could still see it clearly.

She lowered her eyelids to hide the surprise in her eyes.

She had had this thought before, but felt it was impossible.

However, when those marks reappeared on her body, as if declaring someone's sovereignty and possessiveness, she couldn't help but overthink it.

Now, it has been confirmed.

Rong Ruo actually developed romantic feelings for her?!
