The Chief Supervisor requests your presence!
The four words struck Yuan Zhao so hard that her heart stopped beating for a moment, and her face turned even paler.
Wen Feng and Linglong's expressions changed.
They were Yuan Zhao's personal maids, so they naturally knew that Yuan Zhao would be summoned by that evil star every month for the past three years.
Every time she came out, the young lady looked like she had lost half her life.
Nobody knows what happened.
In the past, they at least knew to avoid such things, but now they're doing it so openly?
Does this young lady even care about her reputation?
Linglong's teeth were chattering:
"Miss, the General's Mansion is not far from here. I will go back and report this."
With the Grand General and two Young Generals present, no matter how arrogant and domineering that dead eunuch was, he wouldn't dare to do anything to the young lady.
Upon hearing his father and brothers' voices, Yuan Zhao finally came to his senses.
"You're not allowed to go!"
"You must not tell my father or brothers about what happened today."
After she finished speaking, she said to the people outside:
"lead the way."
She should go and meet that jinx!
Upon hearing this, the general's guards, who had been confronting the eunuchs, also put away their swords.
The carriage drove directly to Rongruo's residence.
The pitch-black gate resembled the gaping maw of a man-eating beast, giving one the feeling that there was no turning back.
Yuan Zhao was no stranger to this place.
She's come every month for the past three years.
Wen Feng and the others were still stopped, and the guards given to them by Yuan's father who wanted to follow were also stopped.
Seeing that they were about to resort to violence, Yuan Zhao quickly spoke up:
"You all wait here."
"Where in the world is there a safer place than this Governor's Mansion?"
"How could anything be wrong with me?"
Upon hearing this, the group fell silent. The person leading the way glanced at Yuan Zhao with surprise, then smiled and said:
"The Crown Prince's wife is indeed very insightful."
"Lead the way!"
A hint of disgust flashed in Yuan Zhao's eyes. This person was Rong Ruo's right-hand man, Qingzhu.
He looked very handsome, with the appearance of an extremely refined scholar. He was always smiling and seemed very easy to talk to.
But those who truly know him know that he is ruthless and cruel, more ruthless than anyone else, just like the green bamboo snake.
If any of his guards dared to make a move here today, he would not hesitate to cut off their heads and send them to his father.
Given his father's temperament, he would surely settle scores with Rongruo, but Rongruo was not so easy to deal with.
So many people were waiting to find fault with her father; she couldn't let him get into danger.
Qingzhu didn't mind her coldness and smiled slightly.
"This way, please!"
With a bang, the door slammed shut, and Yuan Zhao's steps slowed.
This place is her nightmare; every time she comes here, she loses half her life.
She didn't know what that wicked man had done to her, but every time she woke up, she was covered in wounds, some of which were so deep that blood could be seen.
The first time she returned barely alive, she received not pity but ridicule and contempt.
They said she was promiscuous, having such a passionate affair with a eunuch.
Ironically, in her past life, she didn't think there was anything wrong with what they said, and even felt guilty. For the safety of the Marquis's mansion, she endured it for three years.
Why should she have to suffer such injustice now?
As before, she was taken to Rong Ruo's room.
At this moment, Rong Ruo had changed out of his arrogant python robe and was now leaning against the soft couch in a black casual outfit.
His jade crown had been removed, and his long hair, like black brocade, was draped behind his head, making his skin appear even whiter and his thin lips even redder.
At this moment, Rong Ruo did not appear to have his usual fierce aura. Instead, he had a sickly and delicate feeling, which inexplicably made people think of the words "a gentleman as fine as jade".
But as soon as he opened his eyes, everything changed.
His pure black eyes stared at her like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, and she instantly found it hard to breathe.
Rong Ruo glanced at her, then looked away, his thin lips parting slightly:
"Lie down!"
Rong Ruo's voice was not as effeminate as other eunuchs'; instead, it was low, hoarse, and aloof.
Yuan Zhao pursed his lips.
She knew that if she lay down for a while, she would lose consciousness, and when she woke up again, she would be half dead, her body covered with marks of humiliation, and Rong Ruo would no longer be in the room.
Seeing that she was still standing there, Rong Ruo raised her eyelids and glanced at her again.
"My Lord, I have something to say to you!"
Yuan Zhao took a deep breath and said.
Rong Ruo glanced at her, then slowly closed his eyes. Yuan Zhao knew this meant he agreed. She bit her lip and said:
"My Lord, I will not be coming here again."
She endured this humiliation to protect the Marquis's mansion, but now, she doesn't care whether they live or die!
As soon as she finished speaking, the person who had been resting with their eyes closed suddenly opened them, stared at her, and slowly said:
"You... are you going to break the contract?"
