"Miss, these are tonics sent by the old lady."
Wen Feng delivered a pile of tonics to Yuan Zhao's room:
"The old lady also sent word that you should rest well and that she will come to see you tomorrow."
Looking at the huge pile of tonics, Yuan Zhao frowned slightly.
The most difficult person to deal with in the entire Marquis's mansion is this old matriarch; she is the most cunning and the most secretive.
This incident has caused such a huge uproar, and others wish they could skin her alive, yet she still managed to send these things and speak to me in a friendly manner. Her forbearance is truly admirable.
"Pack your things and head back to the General's Mansion."
Yuan Zhao spoke.
With today's events causing such a stir, she will definitely have to go home.
Fortunately, she had sent someone back to deliver a message in advance; otherwise, given her father's temperament, he would probably have already come over with a knife by now.
Thinking of his father and brothers who cared about him, Yuan Zhao's smile became much more genuine.
She had just left with her entourage when a slender figure entered the Marquis's residence through the back door.
"mother!"
Zhou Yujie had already received the news and was waiting there, accompanied by Zhou Shiyuan. The person who was welcomed in was naturally Bai Mianmian.
Looking at her husband and son, Bai Mianmian said with red eyes:
"My husband, Yujie, I miss you so much."
Zhou Shiyuan already had feelings for Bai Mianmian, and after being tricked by Yuan Zhao several times, he felt even more strongly that there was no woman in the world better than Bai Mianmian.
Seeing her aggrieved expression now, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
"Mianmian, I'm sorry to have wronged you."
"I'm not wronged."
Bai Mianmian shook her head: "As long as I can see my husband and Yujie, I'll do anything."
As she spoke, she lowered her head, revealing just the right amount of her snow-white nape.
That day, the wet nurse who was with Zhou's mother came to see her because of this matter.
Now that Yuan Zhao is powerful, it's impossible for her to become a concubine, let alone a secondary wife.
There was only one way to stay in the mansion: to become a maid, specifically Zhou's head maid.
This idea came from Zhou's mother.
Yuan Zhao wouldn't let her have an easy time, so naturally she wouldn't let Yuan Zhao have an easy time either.
Yuan Zhao didn't want Bai Mianmian to enter the manor, but she insisted on letting Bai Mianmian in, and she could even make Yuan Zhao speechless.
She wanted Yuan Zhao to see Zhou Shiyuan and Bai Mianmian being all lovey-dovey every day, yet be powerless to do anything about it.
It has to be said, this move really hits home.
"Let's go see Mother first."
Zhou Shiyuan spoke.
He naturally agreed with Zhou's mother's suggestion.
He missed Bai Mianmian terribly, and now that she was here, he was naturally delighted. Moreover, he shared the same thought as Zhou's mother: if Yuan Zhao made them unhappy, he would also make Yuan Zhao unhappy.
He wanted Yuan Zhao to understand that even though she was the daughter of a great general, he still wouldn't deign to touch her.
Just as I was thinking this, I saw the steward rush over, followed by several servants carrying a large pile of things.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Shiyuan frowned:
"What is this for?"
Now that the Marquis's mansion is in the eye of the storm, how dare they buy so many things?
The butler said with a strange expression:
"This was sent by someone from the Rong family, saying it was for the young master's wife."
"Which one..."
Before Zhou Shiyuan could finish speaking, he suddenly realized something, and his expression immediately turned ugly.
Which Rong family? Besides Rong Ruo, who would dare to send something to Yuan Zhao so openly?
Looking at the tonics my servants were holding, Zhou Shiyuan felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly, but unfortunately, he didn't dare to throw them away.
He had no choice but to hold his nose and swallow the fly whole.
His hand slowly tightened; one day, one day...
At this time, Yuan Zhao was unaware of what had happened at the manor. She returned to the Yuan manor with Wen Feng and the others. Linglong was vividly portraying the disarray of the Yongning Marquis's manor that day, which made Yuan's father laugh heartily.
Seeing that his father's attention was drawn, Yuan Gu gave Yuan Zhao a wink, and the two went to the backyard.
"Zhaozhao, tell your older brother, what exactly happened?"
