Qingzhu hesitated for a long time, looked at Yuan Zhao for a while and made a judgment, but in the end she still did not make a move.
Wenfeng and Linglong looked completely bewildered; they hadn't understood a word they heard.
"Jinzhu, this matter must not be mentioned to anyone else."
Yuan Zhao spoke.
Jinzhu glanced at her and nodded, and her gaze toward Yuan Zhao held a hint of curiosity and inquiry.
After making the arrangements, Yuan Zhao left with Qing Zhu.
They didn't try to hide it, and Zhou Shiyuan and his team quickly received the news.
"You bitch!"
Knowing that Yuan Zhao had gone to meet Rong Ruo in secret again, Zhou Shiyuan was so angry that he smashed his cup, but he didn't even have the courage to go out and stop him.
Madam Zhou appeared calm, but there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"If the person living in her courtyard isn't Rong Ruo, then who is it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shiyuan's expression changed. Could it be that he had been cuckolded more than once?
Thinking of this, he got up to go to Yuan Zhao's courtyard, but was stopped by Old Madam Zhou:
"Don't act rashly. Think about it carefully. Have we ever won against her?"
These words are truly hurtful, yet they are the truth.
Thinking of his disheveled state at the mansion gate today, Zhou Shiyuan forced himself to hold back.
My mother is already dead. If something else happens, there will be no one to take the blame.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Old Madam Zhou slowly began to speak:
"We shouldn't provoke her now. Her plans didn't happen overnight. Compared to her, we're too impatient."
"What we need to do now is to rest and recuperate, slowly investigate her affairs, and then deliver a fatal blow when she is completely relaxed, so that she can never recover."
"Moreover, your most pressing matter right now is the imperial examination. Do you have any confidence?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shiyuan puffed out his chest and said:
"Grandmother, don't worry. I haven't missed a thing in these three years, so nothing will go wrong."
"I can't guarantee the top spot, but a top ten finish is no problem."
These words are incredibly arrogant, but Zhou Shiyuan must have had some confidence to say them.
Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Zhou nodded in agreement.
After a while, Madam Zhou finally spoke:
"That woman will be dealt with in a while."
Madam Zhou remained indifferent. In her view, a human life was probably less valuable than an ant, especially a woman like Bai Mianmian.
Today's events served as a wake-up call for her; that woman's presence would only bring more trouble, and might even cause discord between father and son, so she needed to deal with it as soon as possible.
"Yes, Mother."
This time, it was Zhou's father who answered.
Thinking of the woman who had made him lose face, Zhou's father's eyes were filled with hatred; he wished he could kill her.
This time, Zhou Shiyuan remained silent.
He wasn't without feelings for Bai Mianmian, but those feelings were insignificant compared to his future prospects.
Besides, she had already done such a thing with her father, so even if he hadn't laid a hand on her, he still wouldn't have tolerated it.
While they were discussing countermeasures, Bai Mianmian also knew about what had happened outside the mansion that day and knew she wouldn't get away with it.
At present, Zhou's father has not taken any action against her because he is still worried about the rumors.
Having stayed in the Marquis's mansion for so long, she knew all too well how murky things were inside.
Even Zhou's mother, a marquis's wife, ended up in such a state, so how could the Zhou family father and son let her go?
If she had previously thought that Zhou Shiyuan had some feelings for her, then after this incident, she had seen through Zhou Shiyuan's true colors.
That day, Zhou's father wanted to beat her to death, but Zhou Shiyuan did not plead for her. Instead, it was Yuan Zhao who saved her.
If Zhou Shiyuan can abandon even his own mother, what is she, this defiled woman, compared to him?
What should she do? How can she save her life?
Bai Mianmian's face was filled with panic.
