Everyone who came to the Marquis's residence today could sense Zhou Shiyuan's displeasure. Although he kept smiling, the smile looked very forced, and he didn't glance at Yuan Zhao once from beginning to end.
The two perfectly demonstrated what it means to be outwardly harmonious but inwardly estranged at the entrance of the Marquis's residence.
Zhou Shiyuan knew today was important and he didn't want things to turn out this way, but when he thought of what Yuan Zhao had said and the look in his eyes, he was furious.
He hadn't even complained about how she'd been ruined by that eunuch Rong Ruo, yet she still dared to call him dirty.
This was undoubtedly a great humiliation for Zhou Shiyuan.
The Yongning Marquis's mansion has recently become quite famous, but it's all for nothing but embarrassing and shameful things.
The news that the heir of the Marquis of Yongning had brought back his concubine and her son, and that he favored his concubine over his wife, was widely known.
Seeing that Zhou Shiyuan wasn't even willing to put on a show, the way everyone looked at him became even more subtle.
"Damn it!"
"This ungrateful wretch."
Yuan's father was a rough man, and Yuan Zhao was his precious darling.
Upon arriving today, he saw his precious daughter being bullied like this. Yuan's father immediately disregarded his pride and rushed forward, wanting to teach Zhou Shiyuan a lesson.
Yuan Lin quickly stopped him:
"Father, this spring banquet today was carefully prepared by Zhaozhao. You must not ruin her efforts."
Yuan Lin knew that only by bringing up his sister could he subdue his father. Sure enough, upon hearing this, Yuan's father immediately backed down, but his gaze toward Zhou Shiyuan remained unfriendly.
Yuan Man, who was standing to the side, said:
"Father, after today's matter is over, I'll lure him out and beat him up to vent Zhao Zhao's anger."
Hearing this, Yuan's father finally felt a little better.
Yuan's eldest sister-in-law, standing to the side: "..."
After calming his father down, Yuan Lin called to his younger sister.
"Zhaozhao!"
Yuan Zhao always wore a polite smile until she saw her family members, at which point she revealed a genuine smile.
"Father, eldest brother, second brother, sister-in-law."
She hurried to meet him.
Even though Zhou Shiyuan was unwilling, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up to pay his respects to Yuan's father.
"Father, greetings to my two elder brothers."
"Okay, very good!"
Yuan's father gritted his teeth and patted Zhou Shiyuan's shoulder. He didn't hold back at all; in fact, he used a clever touch. To outsiders, it just looked like a loving father-in-law and son-in-law, but only Zhou Shiyuan knew that his shoulder was about to break.
Brute!
Zhou Shiyuan endured the pain, his face trembling slightly.
"Father, my two elder brothers, please come in and talk to me first."
Yuan Zhao was pleased to see Zhou Shiyuan being suppressed. Seeing the cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and realizing he was truly about to collapse, Yuan Zhao spoke up to defuse the situation:
"Father, let's go inside first."
Only when his beloved daughter spoke did Yuan's father reluctantly stop. Just as they were about to go inside, they heard the servant shout:
"The Supervisor has arrived."
Many people heard these words, and many of them changed their expressions. When the news reached the inner room, many of those who had already gone in hurriedly came out to greet Rong Ruo.
Everyone had only one thought: the Yongning Marquis's mansion was indeed quite capable.
You should know that this Grand Eunuch is extremely difficult to invite; apart from royal banquets, you can hardly see him at other times.
I don't know how the Yongning Marquis's Mansion got involved with them.
Many people looked at the Zhou family father and son. However, to their surprise, the Zhou family father and son, as the hosts, were not very happy. In particular, Zhou Shiyuan's face turned from green to white and then back to green, which was quite a sight.
Zhou Shiyuan knew, of course, why Rong Ruo had come. He could tolerate it before, but on such a special occasion as today, Rong Ruo dared to openly come and humiliate him.
He couldn't help but glance at Rong Ruo, and just then he saw Rong Ruo getting off the carriage with the help of his attendants.
When he met the other person's cold eyes, he trembled all over, especially when he saw the beast on Rong Ruo's shoulder, he suddenly felt his chest start to hurt again.
