Before Rong Ruo could react after Yuan Gu finished speaking, Qing Zhu snorted coldly and said:
"Young General Yuan, be careful what you say!"
Indeed, everyone knows that the people in the Imperial Guard are all eunuchs.
However, no one dared to mention those two words in front of them.
Today, Yuan Gu actually dared to utter those two words in front of his master. If it weren't for Yuan Zhao's sake, he would probably already be beheaded by now.
Although Rong Ruo did not speak, he raised his eyelids and glanced at Yuan Gu.
Yuan Gu, upon hearing this, did not restrain himself; instead, he sneered and said:
"What? Did I say something wrong?"
"It's a fact, so why can't people say it?"
"If you're so capable, get your master to grow that thing back before you talk about marrying my sister."
Yuan Zhao: "..."
It's over, everything is over.
She didn't dare look at Rong Ruo's face at that moment.
Even without looking, she could guess how ugly Rong Ruo's face would be.
I doubt anyone has ever dared to speak to him like that.
"Zhaozhao, let's go."
Yuan Gu didn't care what Rong Ruo's feelings were, and pulled Yuan Zhao away.
He wasn't an impulsive person, but he really couldn't hold back today.
Rong Ruo has gone too far.
This guy not only coveted his own sister, but he even dared to request an imperial decree to grant them a marriage, making his sister a laughingstock of the world.
He could already imagine how his sister would be ridiculed after the imperial edict was actually issued.
Yuan Zhao knew that if he left now, Rong Ruo would definitely not let his elder brother or the Yuan family off the hook.
She was about to say something when her older brother said:
"Zhaozhao, if you don't come with me, don't call me 'Big Brother' anymore."
Yuan Gu had always doted on her and had never spoken harshly to her before; this was the first time he had said something like this.
Yuan Zhao was stunned. Taking advantage of her momentary daze, Yuan Gu grabbed her and walked out.
Qingzhu and the others tried to stop them, but Rongruo raised his hand to stop them.
"Let them go."
Rong Ruo said slowly.
After he spoke, Qingzhu and the others naturally stopped trying to stop him.
Yuan Zhao was pulled away by Yuan Gu before she could say anything. In the end, she only had time to glance at Rong Ruo.
However, Rong Ruo did not fly into a rage as she had imagined; on the contrary, he remained calm.
Was he truly not angry? Or was he hiding it so well that she couldn't tell?
Yuan Gu remained silent throughout the journey until the carriage arrived at the entrance of the General's Mansion, at which point he spoke:
"Zhaozhao, you are the apple of your father's eye, the only sister of me and my second brother. No matter what, we will never let you be bullied."
"Brother knows you don't like Rong Ruo, so please don't say things like that again."
"As for Rong Ruo, elder brother has his own way of dealing with him."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao almost burst into tears.
This is her family, the family that has always protected her, no matter what happens.
They protected her, and she also needed to think of them. With that in mind, she spoke:
"Brother, it's not what you think."
“I didn’t compromise. The reason I was unwilling to get married was because after what happened with Zhou Shiyuan, I no longer trusted men in this world.”
“But Rong Ruo is not a real man, so I don’t have to worry about him being heartless and ungrateful in the future if I stay with him.”
"Even if he is heartless and ungrateful, I don't need to worry, because he can't have children, and I don't need to worry about whether he will favor his concubines over his wife."
"So, big brother, I really did it willingly."
Yuan Zhao spoke with great sincerity.
