"The Chief Supervisor?"
Seeing Rong Ruo looking at a carriage, his attendant spurred his horse forward to await orders.
Thinking of what he had just witnessed, Rong Ruo turned his head and whispered a few instructions before urging his horse to leave.
As the sound of horses' hooves faded into the distance, Yuan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
The carriage returned to the general's mansion.
Looking at this familiar place, Yuan Zhao's eyes immediately turned red.
"Is Zhaozhao back?"
A booming voice rang out, followed by a burly man and two handsome young men.
"Zhaozhao!"
Upon hearing the news of Yuan Zhao's return, General Yuan Lin was all smiles, but when he saw Yuan Zhao's bloodshot eyes and mourning clothes, his smile vanished instantly, and he became menacing.
"Zhaozhao? Who bullied you?"
"Tell your father, and he'll get revenge for you."
Even when angry, General Yuan still tried to lower his voice when facing Yuan Zhao, because his daughter disliked his rudeness.
Upon hearing these familiar words, Yuan Zhao finally couldn't hold back her tears any longer and they fell.
"Father!"
Yuan Zhao immediately threw himself into his father's arms.
Feeling wronged, scared, regretful...
A mix of emotions.
Why was she so foolish in her past life?
Ignoring those who truly care about you, you go and try to please a bunch of ingrates.
Fortunately, fate gave her a second chance.
In this life, she is determined to make amends to her father and brothers.
Yuan Zhao's actions terrified his father.
Since her daughter grew up, she has never been close to her.
What on earth is going on?
Yuan Zhao's two older brothers, Yuan Man and Yuan Gu, also changed their expressions upon hearing this.
Their eyes were filled with worry and heartache.
The three grown men were completely at a loss for what to do.
In the end, it was the eldest sister-in-law who came to take Yuan Zhao inside to wash up, while the Yuan family father and son learned from the two maids what had happened at the Marquis's mansion that day.
"Damn it!"
Father Yuan slammed his hand on the table, shattering it.
"Those spineless cowards from the Zhou family dared to bully my Zhaozhao like this! I'm going to settle the score with them!"
"Men, bring me my spear!"
As Yuan's father was about to go to the Yongning Marquis's residence to settle accounts, he was stopped by Yuan Zhao's elder brother, Yuan Man.
"Father, let's wait until Zhaozhao comes out and ask her first."
"You know Zhaozhao's personality."
Upon hearing this, Yuan's father fell silent.
What his daughter disliked most was his rudeness, cursing, and hitting.
She likes Zhou Shiyuan, that pretty boy, so much that if she really hurts him, Zhao Zhao might not acknowledge him as her father anymore.
However, he couldn't swallow his anger and let it go.
He won a great victory this time, and the emperor originally intended to bestow upon him the title of a prince of a different surname, but he refused and instead took a wretched marquisate.
As a result, those heartless bastards still dared to do that to Zhaozhao.
While Yuan's father was sulking, Yuan Zhao had already changed his clothes and come out.
Looking at Yuan Zhao, who had finished washing and dressing, the three members of the Yuan family all had the same thought: 'Our Zhao Zhao is the most beautiful!'
"Zhaozhao, what do you want to do?"
"We'll listen to you."
Yuan Man spoke up.
From what the two maids had just said, he felt that his sister's behavior today was somewhat different from usual, but he couldn't be sure.
Yuan Zhao understood their meaning and said:
"Father and brothers don't need to get involved in this matter; I have my own ways of dealing with them."
That was, after all, a Marquis's mansion. My father was impetuous; if he went straight for the killing, it would inevitably leave something for others to criticize.
With his father holding great power, he couldn't afford to make a single wrong move.
The Yuan family may seem to be living a life of endless glory, but the moon waxes and wanes, a truth she only understood after living a second life.
Moreover, she also wanted to slowly torment the people of the Yongning Marquis's mansion.
Otherwise, how can we be worthy of her hard work?
Upon hearing her words, the father and his two sons exchanged glances, and Yuan Man frowned.
How did Zhao Zhao change so much overnight?
Yuan Zhao stayed at the mansion until very late before leaving, and was still reluctant to part when he left.
Yuan's father was still worried, so he assigned several personal guards to her. These were all experts, more than capable of dealing with the bunch of good-for-nothings in the Yongning Marquis's mansion.
"How come Zhao Zhao has changed so much?"
After Yuan Zhao left, Yuan Gu couldn't help but say something.
"I'd like to know exactly what the Yongning Marquis's mansion has done!"
Yuan Man's eyes turned dangerous.
On the carriage, Yuan Zhao's heart was still burning with warmth as he thought of his father and brothers' words of concern.
It was also because she was blind in her past life, not caring about the people who truly cared about her, and mistaking a hungry wolf for family.
In this life, she must protect her father and brothers.
In her past life, it was Zhou Shiyuan who presented "evidence" of her father's treason; in this life, she will not give Zhou Shiyuan such an opportunity again.
Once he's dead, nothing will remain.
Thinking of this, a murderous glint appeared in Yuan Zhao's eyes.
Just then, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"What happened?"
Linglong asked the coachman outside.
The coachman said tremblingly:
"Miss, she's from the Imperial Guard."
Yuan Zhao's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and then he heard a soft, feminine voice:
"Lady Heir, the Chief Eunuch requests your presence!"
