"My dear in-law, you've arrived. Please have a seat."
Madam Zhou greeted Yuan's father warmly.
She thought that as an elder, Yuan's father would at least give her some face, but to her surprise, he didn't buy it at all and immediately waved his hand, saying:
Don't give me that nonsense.
"Tell me, my Zhaozhao was injured by bad guys last night, what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Zhou's smile froze, replaced by a worried expression:
"My dear in-law, what do you mean by that?"
"We only found out that she encountered bad guys last night after the supervisor brought Zhaozhao back."
"I was just about to have Shiyuan investigate who dares to mess with a Grand General in the capital."
The reason why Madam Zhou was so confident was that she was certain that the Yuan family could not find any evidence against them.
Although Yuan's father was usually carefree, he wasn't stupid; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the Marshal of the Three Armies. He clearly understood the sarcasm in Old Madam Zhou's words, and he snorted coldly.
Stop being sarcastic.
"My Zhaozhao hasn't come home all night. Have you sent anyone out to look for her?"
"this……"
Old Madam Zhou frowned and looked at Zhou Shiyuan, who understood and said:
“Father-in-law, you’ve misunderstood. Yesterday, Zhaozhao went out saying she was going to see her brother-in-law, so we assumed she was staying at her parents’ house. Who knew she would encounter such a thing?”
"What do you think? You son of a bitch."
"My daughter hasn't been heard from all night, and none of you have sent anyone out to look for her. What do you think you're doing?"
Mr. Yuan kicked over the desk in front of him, his face contorted with rage.
"Does your Zhou family think I'm a fool?"
"I'm not even dead yet, how dare you bully my daughter? You're asking for it."
Yuan's father did not conceal his murderous aura at all.
He was a man who had served in the military for many years and whose hands were stained with blood. Now, he exuded an aura of power that no old lady in the inner quarters or a young master who could neither lift a finger nor carry a load could compare to.
Madam Zhou and Zhou Shiyuan's faces turned completely pale.
Old Madam Zhou forced herself to speak:
"General, this is the capital city, and you are currently in the residence of the Marquis of Yongning. What do you intend to do?"
"The Marquis of Yongning's residence?"
Yuan's father gave a disdainful snort:
"Even if I were to slaughter your entire family today, no one would stand up for you and say a word."
"Now everyone knows that your Yongning Marquis's Mansion has become a huge joke. A person whose hereditary title has been stripped has still dared to put on airs in front of me."
“You should have thought this day would come when you first tried to harm my daughter.”
Upon hearing this, Madam Zhou's expression changed drastically. She hadn't expected her father to be so unreasonable. There was no evidence to prove that they were the ones who had done it last night, yet he still wanted to take his anger out on them.
Madam Zhou, who was used to working in the inner quarters and employing womanly methods, was at a loss for what to do when she suddenly encountered someone as direct as Yuan's father.
She looked anxiously at Zhou Shiyuan, signaling him to think of a solution quickly, otherwise Yuan's father might really kill them if he went crazy.
Zhou Shiyuan was also terrified. He was already afraid of his father-in-law, let alone now that the man was on the verge of going crazy.
what to do?
what to do?
Oh, right, Yuan Zhao!
The only person who could stop Yuan's father was Yuan Zhao.
Thinking of this, he quickly said to the maid beside him:
"Go quickly and invite the Crown Prince's wife."
