In the following days, fearing that his father and brothers still harbored such thoughts, Yuan Zhao frequently returned to the Yuan residence.

The Yuan father and son were naturally happy to see her return, but they were also worried.

"Although you don't have to serve your in-laws or get along with your sisters-in-law, you still go to your parents' house every day. Doesn't that woman surnamed Rong have any objections?"

Yuan Zhao shook his head.

She had told Rong Ruo about going back to her parents' home, but Rong Ruo only said that she should decide for herself and that she didn't need to inform him about such a small matter.

"At least he knows some boundaries."

Yuan's father snorted coldly, but his words were full of satisfaction with Rong Ruo.

Ultimately, his biggest dissatisfaction with Rong Ruo is that Rong Ruo is a eunuch.

Thinking of this, he spoke:

Have you discussed the matter of the child?

Yuan Zhao was taken aback, thought for a moment, and then said:

"We'll talk about this later; there's no rush now."

Yuan's father thought it made sense; the two had only just gotten married, and it was too early to talk about having children.

Yuan Zhao originally wanted to ask his father about what happened back then, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

If she really wanted to know, she could ask Rong Ruo.

Since Rongruo had already told her that last time, there was no need to ask again.

After returning, Rongruo took the initiative to summon Qingzhu and asked him to find a day to call over the managers of the shop and the estate.

Qingzhu was taken aback at first, but quickly agreed.

Upon returning to his residence, Rong Ruo learned of this matter. He slightly curved his thin lips and said calmly:

"Do whatever Madam instructs."

He was originally going to go directly to the study, but after thinking about it, he went to Yuan Zhao's courtyard instead.

Upon seeing him, Yuan Zhao's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"Is it time to eat?"

Rong Ruo shook his head.

"Wait a moment, I'll go to the kitchen and make some more, I haven't eaten yet either."

With that, Yuan Zhao went to the kitchen.

Rong Ruo snorted softly upon hearing her words.

This person is always like this: he's exceptionally obedient when he needs something from others, but when he's useless, he reveals his true nature.

Even so, Rongruo was still in a good mood when he heard that she was going to cook herself.

Yuan Zhao prepared hot pot today. Because of the hot weather, she prepared clear broth, mainly vegetables, with very little meat.

"The food at the restaurant that day was quite good, so I tried making it myself when I got back, and it turned out alright."

"My husband, you should try some too."

Upon hearing her call him "husband," Rong Ruo couldn't help but look up at her.

There was no sarcasm or perfunctory attitude, but genuine sincerity.

Noticing his gaze, Yuan Zhao tightened his grip on his chopsticks and slowly said:

"Now that we're married, let's make the best of a good life together."

This sounds much better than the previous "peaceful coexistence".

Although it wasn't the answer Rong Ruo wanted to hear, it was already quite remarkable that Yuan Zhao could say it so sincerely.

The atmosphere changed somewhat during their meal. Yuan Zhao hesitated for a moment but still served Rong Ruo some food.

"Try what I make and see how it compares to what you get at those restaurants."

"……good."

Rong Ruo responded.

Hearing his words, Yuan Zhao's lips curled up slightly. It turned out that getting along with this dead eunuch wasn't so difficult after all.

That evening, Rong Ruo stayed, and the two of them tacitly agreed not to mention anything.

As Yuan Zhao felt drowsy, she couldn't help but speak:

"Can you please not make me faint?"

As she said this, she gripped the bedsheet tightly.

Rong Ruo was clearly taken aback. In the darkness, Yuan Zhao couldn't see Rong Ruo's expression, but he felt that his eyes were frighteningly dark and bright, as if they were burning with flames.
