Yuan's father went to Yuan Zhao's courtyard and only then did he feel a little more at ease.
He looked at Yuan Zhao seriously and said:
“They must have done what happened yesterday, Zhao Zhao. Listen to your father and come home with him.”
The thought that the people of the Yongning Marquis's mansion would hire someone to kill him filled him with rage.
"Father, don't worry. I will be more careful in the future and will never let myself fall into the same situation as last night again."
"I will go home, but not now."
"I want to see the Yongning Marquis's mansion destroyed with my own eyes."
Zhou's father still retains the title of Marquis of Yongning, so Zhou Shiyuan and his family have not completely given up hope.
She wanted to crush their hopes bit by bit, making them watch helplessly as the Yongning Marquis's mansion was destroyed.
Yuan's father looked at his daughter in surprise, not understanding why Yuan Zhao harbored such deep hatred for the Yongning Marquis's mansion.
It seemed to be more than just Zhou Shiyuan bringing back a mistress and her child. His heart tightened, and he quickly asked:
"Zhaozhao, is there something you're hiding from your father?"
Yuan's father was usually insensitive, but when it came to Yuan Zhao's affairs, he was 100% devoted.
"……No."
Yuan Zhao did not tell her father about her 'dream' because she knew her father's personality well.
If my father knew everything, he would be carrying a knife and slaughtering the entire Yongning Marquis's family right now.
"My daughter is just angry that they treat me like a fool."
"I waited for three years in vain, and they were all lying to me."
The claim that Zhou Shiyuan is dead is utter nonsense.
Everyone in the Yongning Marquis's mansion knew he was still alive; it was just that she was foolish and completely deceived.
"Father, you don't need to worry about me. I know what I'm doing."
Upon hearing this, Yuan's father looked at Yuan Zhao for a long time before saying:
"Alright then, but if anything happens, you have to tell me and your two brothers right away. With us here, no one will dare to bully you."
“I know, Father.”
Yuan Zhao felt a surge of emotion; of course, she knew this.
In her past life, her father and brothers protected her until her death.
"By the way, you said that Rong Ruo saved you yesterday?"
Yuan's father asked about something else.
"……yes."
Yuan Zhao nodded.
"That's strange!"
Yuan's father looked puzzled:
"That man is extremely difficult to talk to, and his temperament is unpredictable. Why would he save you?"
Yuan Zhao pursed her lips and remained silent. She knew that her father was not as perceptive as her eldest brother and would not notice anything.
As expected, Yuan's father didn't think much of it and simply said:
"Perhaps that person was in a good mood last night, but whatever the reason, he saved your life, which is a great favor to our Yuan family."
"I'll go back right away and have your sister-in-law prepare some nice gifts to personally thank you."
"kindness."
Yuan Zhao responded.
Over here, the Yuan family father and daughter were having a heart-to-heart talk, while over there, Zhou Yujie was serving Zhou Shiyuan at his bedside.
"Father, how did you get so badly injured?"
Zhou Yujie pouted, looking like she was about to cry, which softened Zhou Shiyuan's heart.
Since the spring banquet, Zhou Shiyuan hadn't paid much attention to his son. One reason was that he had too many things to do, and the other was that Bai Mianmian made him unsure how to face his son.
Seeing his son's filial piety now, he felt a little guilty.
Bai Mianmian is Bai Mianmian, and Zhou Yujie is Zhou Yujie. He's still so young, what could he possibly know?
"Dad's fine. Have you been studying properly these past two days?"
Hearing that Zhou Shiyuan had finally started to care about him, Zhou Yujie's eyes flashed, and he finally felt a little relieved.
After learning about Bai Mianmian's foolish actions, he knew he would inevitably be implicated.
He had been trying to find a solution for the past few days, and when he learned that Zhou Shiyuan was injured today, he knew that his chance had come.
Sure enough, no one would be wary of a two-year-old child.
However, in the past few days, he has come to understand the situation of the Yongning Marquis's mansion. Now, the Yongning Marquis's mansion is probably hopeless, and he still has to rely on himself.
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhou Shiyuan and said:
"Father, don't worry, Yujie will study hard and earn a degree so that you can be proud."
Hearing these childish words, Zhou Shiyuan's heart softened once again.
He patted Zhou Yujie's head and said:
"Father is waiting for that day."
As he spoke, he wore a thoughtful expression.
Now, the Marquis's title is gone, but he has not completely lost.
His son just reminded him that he can still take the imperial examinations. If he gets first place, who will look down on him?
Thinking of this, Zhou Shiyuan changed his previous dejected state and became spirited again.
Zhou Yujie, standing to the side, breathed a slight sigh of relief. His body was too young, and he had to rely on others. It was a good thing that his adoptive father could pull himself together.
However, he still needed to figure out a way out for himself. At this moment, Zhou Yujie's eyes were full of calculations that were not in line with his age.
