The next day, Wen Feng entered the house at the usual time, only to find that Yuan Zhao had already woken up. She was dressed and sitting in front of the bronze mirror, looking at something.
"Miss?"
Yuan Zhao looked a little strange, and Wen Feng couldn't help but call out to him.
"It's nothing!"
Yuan Zhao straightened his clothes, and his face had returned to calm.
She had just checked and found only a deep red mark on her neck, without any broken skin or wound, as if the blood flow last night was just her imagination.
If it weren't for this red mark, she would have thought that everything last night was just a dream.
Thinking of last night, Yuan Zhao's expression changed again.
"Did you hear anything last night?"
"...No, Miss, has something happened?"
Wen Feng looked grave, and Yuan Zhao's expression was clearly not right.
Yuan Zhao shook his head!
Meanwhile, the culprit who kept her awake all night was on the carriage.
"Master, he has calmed down a bit."
"We still need to be careful these next few days."
A man dressed in white spoke gently; he was none other than Wusong, one of Rong Ruo's right-hand men.
Rong Ruo raised his eyes and said:
"It's not even been a month yet, why did the poison suddenly take effect last night?"
Upon hearing this, Wusong spoke up:
"The toxins in your body have been accumulating for many years and are becoming increasingly difficult to suppress. In addition, you did not drink enough blood last time, so the poisoning flared up yesterday."
"Then why does it have to be her?"
Rong Ruo asked with a cold face.
Last night, he suddenly felt cold all over, and he knew something was wrong. He immediately sent someone over, but unfortunately, it was no use.
"Miss Yuan's blood is more useful than anyone else's."
"You've been using hers for the past three years, so you don't need anyone else's."
Upon hearing this, Rong Ruo's face darkened. He disliked the feeling of having his life in someone else's hands.
Wusong clearly knew this as well, and before Rongruo could speak, he spoke first:
"My lord, I have found some solutions, and there will be some good news soon."
"However, I'm afraid I'll have to work hard these next few days, Chief Supervisor."
Rongruo naturally understood what he meant.
There was indeed something strange about Yuan Zhao. In fact, he hadn't thought about touching Yuan Zhao yesterday. He felt much better lying next to her; at least he didn't feel like his blood was freezing.
Unfortunately, she insisted on deciding whether or not she wanted a brazier.
Thinking of how frightened she looked last night, Rong Ruo couldn't help but smile.
She's probably still wondering if she's even human.
What a pig-brain!
Little did he know that beneath his disdainful expression lay a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Wusong couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, but ultimately dared not say anything.
Just as the carriage was about to arrive at the Rong residence, Qingzhu received the news and whispered a few words to Rong Ruo.
Rong Ruo was not surprised to hear the latest news. When he learned that she had gone to Beishi yesterday, he had guessed what she was going to do.
He raised his hand, subconsciously touched his lips, thought for a moment, and gave Qingzhu a few instructions, which Qingzhu simply obeyed.
Rong Ruo leaned back on the carriage couch, thinking that he had helped her again this time, and what he should ask for in return.
Zhou's mother was unaware of the impending disaster; she was currently instructing the driver and Zhou Yayu's wet nurse:
"Make sure to take good care of the young lady."
She was worried about Zhou Yayu going to the estate alone, so after thinking it over, she decided to have someone accompany her.
"Madam, please don't worry."
The wet nurse spoke.
Zhou's mother originally wanted to say a few words to Zhou Yayu, but Zhou Yayu was being temperamental and wouldn't see her, so Zhou's mother gave up the idea.
She watched the carriage leave until it was out of sight before preparing to go back. However, before she could even turn around, she saw a group of Zhou family elders walking towards her.
Upon seeing them, Zhou's mother frowned, assuming they were here to beg for money again. Just as she was about to speak, the clan elder at the head of the group spoke up:
"You shameless woman, how dare you do something that disgraces the Zhou family! You've completely disgraced the Zhou family!"
