In the Buddhist shrine in the backyard, when Old Madam Zhou heard about today's farce, her expression changed, and a murderous intent flashed in her cloudy eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

After a long pause, she slowly spoke:

"You fool, you're asking for death!"

She shook her head, closed her eyes, and continued reciting Buddhist scriptures.

Over there in the main hall, the men Zhou's father had sent out returned quickly, carrying a large bag of things.

"My lord, we've brought them all back."

Those people said in a low voice.

"Open!"

"It is Zhou's father who spoke coldly."

The two servants quickly opened the package, revealing a large pile of items scattered inside. Besides Zhou's mother's outer garments, there were several pieces of jewelry, some purses, and even two undergarments.

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

You should know that she only bribed the maidservant next to Zhou's mother to take her handkerchief and purse. What about the undergarment and jewelry?

When Zhou's father saw the undergarment, his eyes immediately turned red.

The two had been married for many years, how could he not know that the undergarment belonged to Zhou's mother? After all, she had worn it just recently.

Upon seeing the undergarment, Zhou's father felt as if he had been cuckolded.

He stared coldly at Zhou's mother:

"You bitch, what else do you have to say?"

When Zhou's mother saw those things, she panicked!

She always had her wet nurse keep her personal clothes; how could her wet nurse possibly betray her?

"No, this is impossible, this is a frame-up!"

Zhou's mother shook her head, her face full of fear. Suddenly, she thought of something and rushed towards Yuan Zhao.

"It was you! You're the one who tried to kill me!"

Before she could even touch Yuan Zhao, she was stopped by Wen Feng and Linglong.

Linglong didn't hold back and snorted coldly:

"Madam, do you need to have evidence to back up your words?"

"These are all your personal belongings, how are we supposed to take them?"

“We haven’t even been to your yard.”

"You were there yesterday too, so did we take these things in front of you?"

"you?……"

Unable to refute the argument, Zhou's mother could only resort to sophistry and unreasonable arguments:

"It's you, it's you."

"Enough!"

Zhou's father coldly shouted:

Where did you find these?

Upon hearing this, the two servants exchanged a glance and said:

"It was found on two men."

"I checked, and those two were both servants in the household before."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and even Yuan Zhao showed a hint of surprise.

This was not her arrangement at all; time was of the essence, and she simply didn't have time to do these things.

If Zhou's mother wanted to make things difficult for her, she wouldn't let her off easy either.

All she did was take those clothes to Taipei. Those clothes were conspicuous, and people would definitely take them to pawn shops. As a result, the news would naturally spread.

In addition, there were sachets and other items; she put these things in her clothes, also to ruin Zhou's mother's reputation.

However, things have changed in a way that has surprised her. Who has been pushing things along?

Big brother?

The first person she thought of was Yuan Gu, but after thinking about it, she felt it was impossible.

She and her older brother hadn't communicated at all; how could her brother have done all this in such a short time?

A figure suddenly flashed through her mind. Was it him?

That jinx?

Suppressing her doubts, Yuan Zhao focused her attention on the present. Whoever did it, since they had already gone this far, she would really be doing herself a disservice if she didn't make good use of it.

Thinking of this, she looked at Zhou's mother with a mixture of surprise and heartache:

"No wonder you asked me to take them to the estate to serve you before, it turns out..."
