Yuan Zhao was unaware that Bai Mianmian was still alive, nor did she know that she was being resented. At this moment, she was facing the hesitant gazes of her father and brothers.
After Yuan Zhao explained that it was a betrothal gift from Rong Ruo, Yuan's father couldn't help but blurt out:
Is he mentally challenged?
I used to think this person was crazy, but I never expected that he was actually an idiot.
Yuan Zhao: "..."
"He just doesn't quite understand social etiquette."
As he spoke, Yuan Zhao paused, then suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask:
"Which eunuch did he serve under? How old was he when he entered the palace?"
She realized that she knew very little about Rong Ruo and that there were many things she didn't know.
“He has been in the palace since birth.”
"It is said that the child was born to a palace maid and an imperial guard. The palace maid dared not say anything and secretly abandoned the child in the cold palace after giving birth."
"After being discovered, Liu, the most trusted eunuch by the emperor's side at the time, thought he was cute and raised him. When he was a few years old, he castrated him and took him with him."
"After Eunuch Liu died, he stayed by the emperor's side."
The one speaking is Yuan Gu.
These things weren't secrets, and given that Yuan Zhao had previously said he liked Rong Ruo, it was natural for him, as the eldest brother, to thoroughly investigate Rong Ruo's background.
Upon hearing that he had been abandoned and raised in the palace since childhood, Yuan Zhao's expression became complicated.
No wonder he knew nothing about the social customs and etiquette of ordinary people, because he had never experienced them.
Although Yuan Zhao knew that the person didn't need anyone's sympathy, she still felt inexplicably sorry for him.
Yuan Gu was the first to notice the change in Yuan Zhao's expression. He cursed Rong Ruo in his heart, thinking that the other party was not human and really knew how to play tricks.
However, he didn't show it, but instead said it tactfully:
"That's common sense, which shows how unreliable he is."
Yuan Zhao did not refute. She knew that her father and brothers had a lot of opinions about Rong Ruo, so it was good for them to vent their anger by cursing him. If she could tell the truth, she would also like to curse him.
Sympathy is one thing, but that person and dog were also real dogs.
Yuan Man, standing to the side, couldn't help but say:
"What if he actually invites a matchmaker and goes through the proper betrothal ceremony next time?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan's father and Yuan Gu's faces darkened considerably.
"What should we do? Should we just attack directly?"
Yuan's father couldn't help but say.
"father!"
Yuan Zhao called softly from the side. Yuan's father froze for a moment, then turned his head away somewhat reluctantly without saying a word.
Neither the Yuan father nor his son wanted to think about this troublesome problem. They had become complacent and were thinking of dealing with it later.
What else can we do?
If Yuan Zhao were unwilling, they would have a thousand ways to deal with it, but they couldn't resist their sister's affection.
This is what frustrates them the most.
However, to their complete surprise, Rong Ruo was extremely fast, giving them no chance to escape.
The next day, he invited the Dowager Princess of Chen to come and present the betrothal gifts according to custom.
At this moment, the Yuan family members were having breakfast.
Upon hearing the servant's report, Yuan's father dropped his chopsticks to the ground with a "clatter".
Is this living Yama (the King of Hell) going mad?
Yuan Zhao hadn't expected Rong Ruo to actually send a matchmaker to their door.
She didn't know what to say.
"Zhaozhao, you go back to the courtyard first."
"You handle this, eldest son."
Yuan's father said with a headache.
That was the Dowager Princess of Chen, the principal wife of the late Prince Chen. Prince Chen died while suppressing a rebellion, so the Emperor always felt guilty towards the Prince Chen's family and always took good care of the Dowager Princess of Chen.
They certainly wouldn't keep people locked outside.
However, after today, the whole world will probably know that Rong Ruo, that "living Yama" and "dead eunuch," has taken a fancy to his daughter and wants to marry her.
Thinking of this, Yuan's father's face turned extremely ugly.
