Yuan Zhao quickly shook her head. What could she possibly object to? She was actually hoping that the heartless brat would suffer more.
However, others see it differently.
Today's incident will spread the word that she, as the legal mother, has been too harsh, and the Zhou family will likely seize on this and not let it go.
Moreover, Zhou Yujie wasn't stupid; he would have guessed that someone had acupunctured him, and he would have guessed that someone was in her room.
If people found out that Rongruo was living in her room, she would probably end up like Zhou's mother.
Yuan Zhao thought for a moment, then turned his eyes to Rong Ruo.
"Lord Supervisor..."
Rong Ruo knew from her expression that she had something to ask of him again. He raised an eyebrow, thinking that Yuan Zhao was becoming less and less afraid of him.
Yuan Zhao pretended not to understand Rong Ruo's gaze and said softly:
"This was ultimately caused by the Chief Supervisor!"
The implication is that she shouldn't take the blame.
Rong Ruo gave a light snort and said indifferently:
"Speak!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao quickly voiced her thoughts. Rong Ruo glanced at her and called out to Qing Zhu, who responded from outside the door:
"Your Excellency, I understand."
"Are you satisfied now?"
"Thank you, Supervisor!"
Yuan Zhao gave a perfunctory bow; it was Rong Ruo who had bullied her, and she refused to take the blame.
Just as Yuan Zhao had expected, the news of Zhou Yujie fainting at her place quickly reached the ears of Zhou Shiyuan and Madam Zhou. Zhou Shiyuan was so angry that he almost got up from his sickbed, disregarding his own health.
He kept cursing the wicked woman on the bed. When Zhou Yujie woke up, he was terrified. He didn't know what was wrong with him. Suddenly, he couldn't speak or make a sound.
Is this what they call internal strength?
This was his first time encountering this, and he was both afraid and curious.
Yuan Zhao shouldn't have such ability, so who is it?
Who is in Yuan Zhao's room?
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhou Shiyuan, who was still cursing loudly, and said:
"Father, it's not Mother's fault."
“My mother made me do a horse stance and told me to say so when I couldn’t hold on anymore. But when I couldn’t hold on anymore, I found that I couldn’t make a sound or move.”
As he spoke, Zhou Yujie feigned a puzzled expression:
"Yu Jie doesn't know what happened, he suddenly couldn't move at all."
Zhou Shiyuan immediately understood what was going on. After all, he was a martial artist himself and knew that Zhou Yujie's condition was due to pressure point manipulation. He immediately said:
"Did anyone touch you?"
Zhou Yujie shook her little head, looking completely innocent:
"No!"
"I suddenly couldn't speak or move."
"Father, I'm scared."
To increase credibility, Zhou Yujie deliberately spoke in a pitiful tone.
"Remote acupressure?"
Zhou Shiyuan murmured as he held his son in his arms.
Although Yuan Zhao knew some rudimentary martial arts, and her two maids also had some skills, the profound skill of striking pressure points from a distance was beyond their reach.
Who is in Yuan Zhao's courtyard?
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhou Yujie seriously and asked:
"Yujie, did you go to your mother's room?"
Zhou Yujie quickly shook his head: "No, my mother didn't let me in. She spoke to me in the yard."
Hearing this, Zhou Shiyuan's doubts deepened.
They weren't even allowed to enter the house. What kind of strange things were hidden in Yuan Zhao's house?
He thought for a moment and then ordered someone to call over the maidservants from Yuan Zhao's courtyard. Only then did he learn that Yuan Zhao had not allowed anyone to enter her room for a long time, not even her two personal maidservants.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shiyuan immediately sat up; there must be something strange about this.
He had a bold guess: there was someone in Yuan Zhao's house!
