"Zhaozhao, are you really not going back to your father?"

At the entrance of the Yongning Marquis's residence, Yuan's father asked for the hundredth time.

In his opinion, there was no need to stay in the Yongning Marquis's residence at all, but no matter how hard he tried to persuade Yuan Zhao, he was unwilling to leave, which made him very frustrated.

He didn't think much of it, assuming that his daughter was still reluctant to part with that pretty boy Zhou Shiyuan.

Thinking of this, he sighed and said:

"Keep those people with you; don't let yourself suffer any injustice."

"Father, don't worry, I will never wrong myself again."

Yuan Zhao spoke.

Hearing her say that, Yuan's father knew she wouldn't come back with him, so he could only leave first, feeling frustrated.

Yuan Gu thought about things more deeply than his father and younger brother. Taking advantage of a moment when no one was around, he asked in a low voice:

"Zhaozhao, there's no one else here. Tell your older brother the truth, did Rong Ruo bully you?"

He was more thoughtful than others, and when he saw Rong Ruo appear for no apparent reason today, he felt something was wrong.

Others may not have seen it, but he did see Rong Ruo glance at his sister as she left.

He had intended to find an opportunity to ask, but before he could even speak, Zhou's mother arrived with her people and said those words, which made him suspicious.

He was well aware of Rong Ruo's reputation, but he did not expect Rong Ruo to be so bold as to dare to attack Zhao Zhao. Did he think that the Yuan family had no one to rely on?

Sensing the murderous intent emanating from his elder brother, Yuan Zhao quickly comforted him:

"Brother, it's not what you think."

“I do know the Chief Supervisor, but not in the way you think.”

She knew her older brother was not easily fooled. If she said she didn't know Rong Ruo at all, her brother definitely wouldn't believe her. So she could only tell a mix of truth and lies.

Yuan Gu was clearly not easily fooled. He wanted to ask more questions, but his father urged him from the front.

He could only suppress his doubts and say:

"No matter what, if you feel wronged, come home. Your father and I are here. No one will let you suffer."

Upon hearing these words, Yuan Zhao's eyes reddened.

Her father and brothers treated her so well, why couldn't she see it in her past life? She devoted all her heart to Zhou Shiyuan and the Zhou family, but ignored the sincerity of her father and brothers. She truly deserved to die.

"Don't worry, brother, I won't let myself suffer any more injustices."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Gu nodded.

He had noticed the changes in his younger sister recently; she no longer seemed to allow herself to be wronged.

After seeing off his father and brothers, Yuan Zhao stood there for a while. Just as he was about to return to his residence, he saw a carriage approaching.

The carriage bore the Rong family's emblem, and the driver was none other than Rong Ruo's right-hand man, Qingzhu.

Upon seeing him, Yuan Zhao's expression changed.

Qingzhu nodded to her and bowed.

"Lady Heir, the Chief Eunuch requests your presence!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao unconsciously tightened his hands, which were hanging by his sides.

Her father and brothers had barely left when he sent someone to the Marquis's mansion to fetch her. That jinx is truly...

Seeing that she remained unmoved, Qingzhu raised an eyebrow, as if urging her:

"The Crown Prince's wife?"

Yuan Zhao closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, the anger in his eyes had vanished.

She said calmly:

Let's go!

After saying that, she got into the carriage with Qingzhu's help. Linglong and Wenfeng exchanged a glance and quickly followed. Their eyes were full of worry.

Miss Ming just left last night, why is she going again today?

How could the young lady's body withstand it?

Inside the Marquis's residence, the Zhou father and son learned immediately that Rong Ruo had taken Yuan Zhao away, and the father was so angry that he smashed his teacup.

"Rong Ruo, you've gone too far!"

In the past, Yuan Zhao would secretly ride in a sedan chair late at night, but now Rong Ruo actually sent someone to openly pick him up at the door.

There are no secrets in the world that stay hidden forever; by now, it's probably known to every respectable family.

How will their noble family establish themselves in the capital in the future?

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhou Shiyuan, whose face was deathly pale, and slowly said:

"He's the one you married, how are you going to handle this?"
