Today's flower viewing banquet was very well organized. It only lasted ten days, but everything was done in an orderly manner.

The women all showered praise on Yuan Zhao in front of Old Madam Zhou, who wore a smile the whole time. Everyone then realized that Yuan Zhao was now in charge of the Marquis's mansion.

However, no one found it strange. After all, the Lady of Yongning had caused such a big commotion before, and the fact that the Marquis of Yongning hadn't divorced her was already considered extremely kind of him.

Everyone understood the unspoken message and didn't ask where Zhou's mother had gone. Instead, they kept praising Yuan Zhao. Many people did it out of respect for the Yuan family, but there were also quite a few who genuinely praised him.

To achieve this in just half a month of managing the household is truly remarkable.

Yuan Zhao's sister-in-law thought the same thing.

Before coming today, her father-in-law and husband both told her to take good care of Yuan Zhao, and she thought so too. But when she arrived today, she found that Yuan Zhao didn't need anyone's help at all. She handled everything herself with ease and in an orderly manner.

"Zhaozhao, many people are praising you and our Yuan family today."

Previously, the Yuan family did not have a good reputation in this regard because Yuan's father was a military general who was not particular about details, and there had never been a mistress in the mansion. Many people thought that the girls in the Yuan family would definitely not be able to manage household affairs.

As it turns out, all of these people were proven wrong today.

Even Yuan's eldest sister-in-law herself was somewhat surprised.

She felt that Yuan Zhao had changed a lot. In the past, when they met, she was mostly sad and didn't talk much. She seemed timid and didn't look like she came from the General's Mansion at all.

Now she is radiant and full of confidence, truly befitting a daughter of a respected family.

Seeing Yuan Zhao's transformation, Yuan's eldest sister-in-law was also happy.

The more capable the sister-in-law is, the less her father-in-law and husband have to worry about, and the sister-in-law feels more relaxed.

Seeing the relief in his sister-in-law's eyes, Yuan Zhao felt a warmth in his heart:

"Sister-in-law, thank you for your guidance over the years."

Upon hearing this, Yuan's eldest sister-in-law was taken aback, then smiled and said:

"I cannot bear this responsibility."

She married into the household not long before Yuan Zhao got married, so the two of them didn't spend much time together. How could she have taught Yuan Zhao?

Yuan Zhao did not explain.

In her past life, her appearance was suddenly ruined, and she was unwilling to go out every day. It was her sister-in-law who came to visit her from time to time and talked to her a lot of reason.

She always remembered this kindness, but unfortunately, it ended up implicating her sister-in-law and her unborn nephew.

Thinking of this, a murderous aura surged from Yuan Zhao's body.

"Zhaozhao?"

Yuan's eldest sister-in-law exclaimed in surprise, "Why has Yuan Zhao's aura suddenly changed?"

Yuan Zhao snapped out of her daze, composed herself, and returned to her previous harmless demeanor, as if everything that had just happened was merely the illusion of others.

Yuan's eldest sister-in-law frowned, glanced at Yuan Zhao, then at Old Madam Zhou, who was at the head of the table praising Yuan Zhao, and said with a sigh:

“Your mother-in-law is muddle-headed, but fortunately there is still someone clear-headed in this household, so your life won’t be too difficult.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao chuckled and said meaningfully:

"Sometimes people are just too clear-headed."

Yuan's eldest sister-in-law glanced at Yuan Zhao with surprise, and when she looked at Old Madam Zhou, her expression changed.

"By the way, what about the woman and child?"

The older sister-in-law asked in a low voice.

"The child is being raised in my yard, as for Bai Mianmian..."

Yuan Zhao gave a sarcastic laugh:

"She's working as a maid in the household now!"

How could this be?

"Was this your idea?"

The elder sister-in-law frowned and asked.

"Someone is trying to annoy me!"

"This is outrageous!"

The eldest sister-in-law of the Yuan family immediately changed her expression. Her mother-in-law had passed away early, and as the eldest sister-in-law, she was like a mother to her. Naturally, she would seek justice for Yuan Zhao.

She got up to go to Old Madam Zhou's side, but Yuan Zhao stopped her.

"No need, sister-in-law, I have my own way."

A glint of light flashed in Yuan Zhao's eyes.
