Zhou's mother never expected that Yuan Gu and Yuan Man were also in Yuan Zhao's courtyard. Why didn't anyone tell her this?
Why didn't they go to the study with them?
With them there, Zhou's mother naturally couldn't lash out.
Because she was suppressing her anger, her face looked very strange. Even though she was dressed in gorgeous clothes and adorned with jewels, she couldn't see any nobility in her attire. Instead, she looked like a clown.
Before she could figure out how to deal with Yuan Zhao's two older brothers, she heard the hot-tempered Yuan Man say:
"Old hag, who were you just cursing?"
As he spoke, Yuan Man loosened his muscles and bones, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, making one's scalp tingle just by listening.
Zhou's mother felt a chill run down her spine, but she still forced herself to speak:
"Not bowing to elders, is this the etiquette of your General's Mansion?"
"Pah, I..."
Like his father, Yuan Man had a bad temper. Upon hearing this, he was about to step forward and beat someone up, but Yuan Gu stopped him.
Yuan Gu sneered and said:
"Your words are full of insults, how dare you call yourself an elder?"
“You dare to humiliate my Zhaozhao like this even when we and my father are here. We don’t know how you torment her when we’re not here.”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Gudu's face fell.
Their Yuan family's treasure was treated like this. The Zhou family is truly ruthless!
The Yuan family all came from the battlefield, so Yuan Gu's aura was naturally unmatched by ordinary people. When he turned cold, his aura was chilling.
Zhou's mother was so frightened that she took several steps back, but even so, she still forced herself to say:
"You didn't even ask what your dear sister did first."
“Our Zhou family doesn’t have such a shameless daughter-in-law.”
"What the hell did you say?"
Yuan Man couldn't stand it anymore. She kicked the table in front of her away, her eyes wide as saucers.
"Say that again?"
Zhou's mother was indeed frightened by the appearance of the Yuan brothers, but when she thought that this was the Marquis's mansion, her own territory, and that she was Yuan Zhao's mother-in-law, she didn't believe that the Yuan brothers would really dare to do anything to her.
Thinking of this, she regained some confidence and said, forcing herself to speak:
"Speak! She's not a virtuous woman... Ah!"
Before Zhou's mother could finish speaking, Yuan Man punched her in the face, instantly swelling up half of her face and knocking out several of her teeth.
Zhou's mother came from a wealthy family and later married into the Yongning Marquis's household. She was pampered by everyone, and even when the Marquis's household encountered trouble, Yuan Zhao treated her like an ancestor and never let her suffer.
She never expected Yuan Man to actually attack her, especially in her own home. She was stunned, as if she had been hit so hard that she forgot even the pain.
Yuan Man gritted his teeth, spat out a mouthful of saliva, and said fiercely:
"Since you old woman can't speak, then you might as well not use your tongue."
"If I pull out your tongue, I can at least help you save some breath."
After saying that, Yuan Man suddenly pulled Zhou's mother, who hadn't come to her senses yet, in front of her and raised her hand to pinch her face.
The servants of the Marquis's mansion were all stunned. None of them expected that the Yuan family would actually dare to make a move, and they didn't know how to react.
At this moment, Zhou's mother finally felt fear. Yuan Man was forcibly pinching her face, and seeing that he was really going to pull out her tongue, Zhou's mother was so scared that she was trembling all over. She wanted to beg for mercy, but with her face being pinched, she could not make a sound.
Oh, right, Yuan Zhao!
When faced with a life-or-death situation, people think exceptionally fast.
Zhou's mother clearly realized that the only person who could save her at this moment was Yuan Zhao, so she quickly looked at Yuan Zhao with pleading eyes.
However, to her surprise, the person who used to be so respectful to her and never spoke a word even when she scolded or beat her was now looking at her with extreme indifference, as if she were looking at a pile of garbage.
How dare she?
Just as a hint of anger rose in Zhou's mother's eyes, she was terrified by Yuan Man's next move, who pulled out a dagger and placed it to her lips.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
Zhou's mother let out a pig-like scream, and then suddenly something flowed down between her legs.
A pale yellow liquid dripped down her dress, and a strange smell began to permeate the surroundings.
