In her past life, she remained a widow for three years to support her entire family. She awaited her husband's return, only to end up with her maiden family being wiped out. Reborn once again, ...
After a long day of running around, Yuan Zhao was exhausted. She just wanted to rest before making any plans, but to her surprise, she was locked out of the mansion.
Wen Feng knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.
Is the Zhou family trying to intimidate her by taking advantage of the quiet of the night?
If it were her past life, she would have endured it all.
However, she was no longer the Yuan Zhao who could only swallow her anger.
Looking at the tightly closed door, she smiled slowly and said coldly:
Smash it!
"The bigger the commotion, the better!"
The Zhou family wanted to give her a hard time late at night, but they needed to see if she would agree.
The Zhou family values their reputation, but she insists on making this matter known to everyone.
Fortunately, her father gave her a few men today. These men were all skilled soldiers with considerable strength, so it wouldn't be difficult for them to break down the gates of the Marquis's mansion.
As soon as she finished speaking, the group exchanged glances and went to find the tools they needed.
Although it was late at night, not everyone at the Yongning Marquis's residence had gone to bed.
Zhou's mother was asking Zhou Shiyuan about the events of the past few years when she learned that her son had not suffered any injustice. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, my son is very lucky and didn't suffer any injustice."
"Your father and brother are being taken care of, so they haven't suffered much."
"Although we had a tough time, we made it through."
Zhou Shiyuan nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said:
"Mother, what did you mean by what you said before?"
Zhou Shiyuan hadn't forgotten what his mother and Yuan Zhao had said before. What did they mean by telling Yueyue to do such a shameful thing? Was there something he didn't know about it?
Upon hearing this, a hint of unease flashed across Zhou's mother's face. After hesitating for a long while, she finally forced herself to speak:
"You know about Chief Eunuch Rong's quirks, right?"
Zhou Shiyuan was taken aback, then realized what was going on:
"You mean she's been with that eunuch for the past few years..."
Zhou Shiyuan couldn't finish his sentence; his face darkened.
Although he disliked Yuan Zhao, it didn't mean he wanted to be cuckolded.
"It is truly a misfortune for our Zhou family to have such a daughter-in-law."
"I hate it," Zhou's mother said, completely forgetting that she was the one who had mentioned Rong Ruo to Yuan Zhao, subtly and overtly suggesting that he serve the man.
Zhou Shiyuan's expression grew increasingly grim. He had felt a slight sense of guilt before, after all, he had already married and had children outside.
Looking back now, I realize I've become a laughingstock. He thought he'd treat her well when he came back, but this is how she repaid him.
She actually did that shameful thing with Rong Ruo, and they did it for three years!
Rong Ruo was still a eunuch!
Thinking of this, Zhou Shiyuan felt as if he had swallowed a fly, and his handsome face became distorted.
After a long pause, he finally spoke coldly:
"How could her mother watch her do such a shameless thing?"
Zhou's mother's eyes flashed, and she said with disgust:
“We had no other choice at the time. Something happened to the Marquis’s mansion, and you were almost beheaded. We had to find a way to save you.”
"Don't mention her, it's bad luck."
"Now that everything is fine, we should find a reason to divorce her. Our Marquis's mansion cannot afford to lose such a person."
"This is a perfect opportunity."
“If she does not agree to you taking a concubine, then divorce her on the grounds of jealousy.”
Zhou's mother had already made plans; she had been planning them since she learned that the Marquis's mansion had been restored.
Previously, they thought there was no hope of the Marquis's mansion being restored, so they turned a blind eye. After all, the safety of the men in the family still needed Rongruo's protection. Now that everything is fine, there is naturally no need for Rongruo.
Yuan Zhao's actions have become a stain on her reputation, and she still has to make plans for her daughter. Her daughter is of marriageable age, and she must not let Yuan Zhao, this bad apple, ruin her reputation.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shiyuan nodded with a stern face.
The thought of being cuckolded for three years for no reason made him feel inexplicably unhappy.
Back then, he and Yuan Zhao had just gotten married and hadn't even had a chance to fully savor her taste when trouble struck the Marquis's mansion.
Now that's a boon for that eunuch.
In three years, they've probably figured out every trick in the book.
Thinking about this, he felt even more disgusted.
As the mother and son were talking, a loud noise suddenly rang out outside the door. Zhou's mother was startled and jumped up, her face showing panic.
"What happened?"
Three years ago, her home was ransacked, and now she is somewhat paranoid.
The little maid ran in and stammered:
"Madam, yes, it's the Crown Prince's wife! She's having people banging on the door!"
"presumptuous!"
Zhou Shiyuan sternly rebuked:
"Does she have no manners at all?"
He was already angry about her entanglement with Rong Ruo, and now that he heard Yuan Zhao was being so bold, he left with a dark face.
