Chapter 166 Giving in



Yuan Zhao was pondering how to make the drama at the Yongning Marquis's residence even more exciting when Wen Feng spoke softly:

"Miss, is that person coming again?"

It's been two days, and that supervisor hasn't come over again.

They were not there that day, so they naturally didn't know what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao's expression darkened slightly. She had thoroughly angered Rong Ruo that day, and at the time, she thought she would never be able to leave the Rong residence. However, in the end, that person did not deal with her.

These past two days, she has been feeling uneasy. It's not that she's afraid Rong Ruo will do anything to her, but she's worried that Rong Ruo will target her father and brothers.

Thinking of this, Yuan Zhao rubbed his temples and got up to go to the kitchen.

That scoundrel seems to quite like her cooking; since she's in a stronger position, she'll have to back down first.

The food box was quickly delivered to Qingzhu.

Hearing that Yuan Zhao had personally made and delivered it, Qingzhu breathed a long sigh of relief.

These past two days, no one in the manor dared to even breathe loudly.

My master is already cold enough normally, but these past two days have been filled with low pressure.

He quickly took the food box to the study.

"Master, please have something to eat first!"

Qingzhu spoke cautiously.

"Take it."

Rong Ruo said without looking up.

He was dressed in black, which made his already fair skin appear even paler.

"Master, this was sent by Miss Yuan."

Qingzhu spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, Rong Ruo finally reacted. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Qingzhu, or rather, he looked at the food box in Qingzhu's hand.

Qingzhu's heart leaped into his throat. Just when he thought he would be kicked out, he heard Rongruo say:

"Bring it here."

Qingzhu breathed a long sigh of relief.

As expected, Yuan Zhao is different.

When the dishes were laid out, Rong Ruo's expression improved somewhat.

These dishes were clearly made with care, beautifully presented, and most importantly, they were all his favorite dishes, something even Qingzhu didn't know.

He won't let anyone know his preferences.

He and Yuan Zhao had only eaten a few meals together, yet she had already figured out his preferences. On the one hand, this showed that the woman was very observant, but on the other hand, it also showed how much she cared for him.

Whatever the reason, it made him feel inexplicably more relaxed.

Yuan Zhao didn't know if Rong Ruo would take the opportunity she offered to back down.

Yuan Zhao was relieved when he saw Rong Ruo appear in the room as mysteriously as ever that night.

"Master Supervisor."

"Are you feeling any better?"

Yuan Zhao asked with concern, and the two tacitly avoided mentioning the unpleasantness of that day.

Rong Ruo looked at Yuan Zhao for a while, then suddenly asked:

"Once the matter of the Marquis of Yongning's residence is settled, what are your plans?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao's heart tightened. She didn't think Rong Ruo would ask her this question for no reason. She thought for a while and immediately remembered what her father and brother had told her that day. This guy must have heard the news and knew about their plan, which was why he asked this question.

She quickly said:

"Rest assured, Master, no matter what, I will definitely keep my promise to you."

She paused for a moment, then continued:

“I asked Jinzhu, and it turns out that the poison isn’t entirely incurable.”

These past few days, Jinzhu has locked herself in her room, constantly studying this, and it seems she's starting to get some ideas.

Moreover, judging from her memories of her previous life, even without the golden pearl, Rong Ruo would have found a way to detoxify her in six months. After all, Rong Ruo had not contacted her again after six months in her previous life.

Upon hearing Yuan Zhao's words, Rong Ruo turned the jade thumb ring on her hand, her eyes deep and unreadable, as if she were deep in thought.
