Just as Yuan Zhao was about to have lunch, Rong Ruo suddenly appeared.
Yuan Zhao had nothing more to say about the fact that this supervisor was appearing earlier and earlier.
That's probably because the other party has such strength that they can be so willful.
Out of politeness, she asked:
"Has the Supervisor had a meal? Would you like to have some with us?"
Without even thinking, she knew Rong Ruo would refuse, after all, it wasn't a new thing for him to look down on what she had.
Normally, he brings his own food and prepares it carefully.
She had only asked casually, but she didn't expect Rong Ruo to actually sit down. She was taken aback, and Rong Ruo raised an eyebrow at her, as if to say, "Didn't you invite me to dinner?"
Yuan Zhao coughed lightly and said:
"Please, Your Excellency!"
She cooked today's meals herself in the kitchen. Wen Feng and Linglong hadn't returned yet, and she wasn't too comfortable with the food in the main kitchen, so she went by herself.
Since I was planning to cook for myself alone, I kept it simple: one meat dish and two vegetable dishes.
She never expected Rong Ruo to sit down, and judging from his expression, he seemed to think it was quite nice.
If Rong Ruo genuinely found it good, and the taste of the food unexpectedly suited his palate, he said casually:
"This cook is passable."
Yuan. Cook. Zhao: "...This was made by me."
Rong Ruo glanced at her in surprise, seemingly not expecting her to have such skills.
Yuan Zhao gave a wry smile. In her previous life, in order to please her husband Zhou Shiyuan and his mother, she devoted herself to studying how to cook, how to be a qualified wife of a prince, and how to be a qualified daughter-in-law.
She only understood a truth after she had given her life for it.
Even if you treat someone with all your heart, they will still treat you like dirt.
After her rebirth, she stopped doing these unnecessary things and naturally stopped cooking.
If Wenfeng and the others hadn't been injured this time, she wouldn't have gone to the kitchen to cook for herself.
The two did not speak after that. After finishing their lunch, Rong Ruo took a sip of the finest white tea before speaking:
When are you planning to make your move?
Yuan Zhao glanced at Rong Ruo with surprise, seemingly not expecting him to care about such things, but she still spoke up:
"No rush, the people who are supposed to appear haven't appeared yet."
Rong Ruo spoke up upon hearing this:
"Are you trying to get it done before the imperial examinations?"
Now, Zhou Shiyuan is single-mindedly focused on making a name for himself in the imperial examinations, while Yuan Zhao has deliberately made such a big fuss about it, making it hard not to suspect that she is up to something.
"I have said that I will make the Yongning Marquis's mansion sink to the bottom forever and never rise again."
Yuan Zhao said slowly.
Zhou Shiyuan wanted to use the imperial examination to show off his abilities, but he needed to see if she would agree.
Upon hearing her words, Rong Ruo couldn't help but glance at her again. At this moment, Yuan Zhao's face was filled with ruthlessness, yet she was exceptionally eye-catching.
This appearance clearly suits her better than the docile and timid person she was remembered for.
In Madam Zhou's courtyard, she listened with a frown to the servant's report.
"There's been no movement at all?"
Since the news was released, she had people keep an eye on Yuan Zhao's movements, but to her surprise, several days had passed and the rumors were getting worse, yet Yuan Zhao remained completely silent.
"Yes, Madam, the young mistress has been resting in the courtyard these past few days and hasn't even left the gate."
The maidservant reported.
"What exactly is she planning?"
Madam Zhou did not believe that Yuan Zhao was someone who would sit idly by and wait for death, but she could not figure out what she was planning to do.
However, she felt a strange unease in her heart.
"Madam, everything will be alright."
"It was true at first, now let's see how she turns things around."
"That's what the old nanny next to Madam Zhou said."
Hearing this, Madam Zhou felt a little relieved and slowly began to move her prayer beads.
I hope so!
