"stop!"

Yuan Zhao stopped Linglong:

"No need to go!"

"Miss!"

Linglong looked at Yuan Zhao disapprovingly. Were they just going to do nothing and wait for others to bully them?

Yuan Zhao gave Linglong a reassuring look before speaking:

"Don't be impatient."

If Zhou's mother wanted to make her miserable, she naturally wouldn't let Zhou's mother have an easy time.

She has prepared a big gift for Zhou's mother, and she will probably find out tomorrow. Hopefully, Zhou's mother will not disappoint her.

"It's getting late, you should all go and get some rest. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Yuan Zhao spoke.

"yes."

Wen Feng responded and then pulled Linglong and Jinzhu, who were still unwilling to give up, to go downstairs, but then Jinzhu spoke up:

"I can help you kill someone."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao looked at Jin Zhu, and upon meeting Jin Zhu's dark eyes, she paused for a moment before speaking:

"I'll let you know if I need any help; I can manage on my own now."

Although they hadn't had much contact, she could sense that Jinzhu didn't care about right or wrong; she helped her because she had saved Jinzhu.

In her past life, she helped Bai Mianmian only because Bai Mianmian saved her, nothing more.

She was very fortunate to have found Jinzhu in this life, which saved her from a lot of trouble.

Inside the house, after satisfying himself on Bai Mianmian's body once again, Zhou Shiyuan finally released her.

Bai Mianmian's obedience eased some of the unhappiness that had been weighing on his heart for days. He held the tender and affectionate Bai Mianmian in his arms and felt that women should be like Bai Mianmian. Who would like a woman like Yuan Zhao?

"Mianmian, I'm sorry to have wronged you."

Zhou Shiyuan said with some guilt.

When I brought Bai Mianmian back, I thought I would make her a concubine first, and then elevate her to the status of a secondary wife.

Now, all he can do is change her appearance and let her stay by her mother's side as a maid. All of this is because of Yuan Zhao. Thinking of this, Zhou Shiyuan feels even more disgusted with Yuan Zhao.

Upon hearing Zhou Shiyuan's words, Bai Mianmian's eyes flashed, and she said softly:

"I'm not wronged. As long as I can be with my husband, I'll do anything."

"I just miss Jay very much because I can't see him."

As she spoke, Bai Mianmian began to sob softly.

Zhou Shiyuan had just found satisfaction with her, and now seeing her looking so pitiful, he felt even more heartache and couldn't help but say:

"Don't cry, Mianmian, your crying is breaking my heart."

"I'll figure something out about Jay's situation."

"I'll have him come to see you tomorrow."

"Really? My husband?"

Bai Mianmian looked timidly at Zhou Shiyuan, her eyes red, yet filled with anticipation and emotion.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Shiyuan couldn't help but roll over and pin her down.

"Of course it's true. When has my husband ever lied to you?"

After saying that, Zhou Shiyuan vented his anger on Bai Mianmian, completely unaware of the sarcasm in her eyes.

If she hadn't been kicked out before, she might still have believed Zhou Shiyuan's words without question. However, after experiencing so much, she's not as naive as she used to be.

She knew very well that she was dispensable; her greatest reliance was her son. The child was still young, and she couldn't let him become estranged from her.

The two were making a ruckus in the house, one trying to flatter the other, the other going all out, wanting everyone in the mansion to know.

Zhou Shiyuan was holding back his anger, wanting Yuan Zhao to know and regret it.

He will never touch Yuan Zhao again. So what if Rong Ruo takes a liking to her? Can a eunuch compare to a real man?

He wanted to make Yuan Zhao live a life of widowhood.

However, while he was making a fuss, Yuan Zhao didn't care at all and slept soundly.

Yuan Zhao was woken up by the cold. She felt as if she were in an ice cave. Even though it was already early summer, she was actually woken up by the cold.

She opened her eyes and immediately realized something was wrong—there was someone next to her!
