Mentioning this gave Yuan Zhao a headache. His elder brother was too perceptive; it was impossible for him to say that Rong Ruo had no connection with him.
But what if her elder brother knew about her relationship with Rong Ruo...?
Especially since that jinx has been living in her courtyard day and night. Although they both know why, how can this be explained?
She couldn't possibly reveal that Rong Ruo had been poisoned. She was certain that if she told her elder brother, he would be killed the very next day.
What she just said was just to appease her brother and stop him from asking questions, but she hadn't actually figured out how to tell him yet.
Yuan Zhao rubbed his temples as he thought about it, and Wen Feng felt a pang of heartache upon seeing this.
"Miss, please rest for a while."
Although the flower-viewing banquet had another purpose, the busyness was undeniable.
After ten days, the young lady had lost a lot of weight, which made her and Linglong very distressed.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao nodded and asked Wen Feng to have someone keep an eye on the movements of Zhou's father, Old Madam Zhou, and Zhou Shiyuan, while she returned to her courtyard.
As soon as she entered the house, she sensed something was wrong. She quickly called out to Wenfeng and stopped her from coming in.
Wen Feng hesitated. For more than ten days, the young lady had not allowed them to enter the room to serve her, and she felt that something was wrong.
After Wen Feng left, Yuan Zhao looked at the person lying on the soft couch with a headache.
"Why is the Supervisor here?"
It was still early, and according to his usual practice, Rong Ruo would only come at night.
Rong Ruo was rubbing his temples when he heard her words, and raised his hand to say:
"come over!"
Yuan Zhao immediately knew why he was calling her. Even though she didn't want to, she could only walk over and sit on the chair to press his head down.
The biting cold traveled from his head to her fingertips, and she couldn't help but shiver.
It's so cold to the touch; I don't know how this jinx can stand it.
Yuan Zhao pressed for a while and then heard Rong Ruo say:
"How do you plan to reply to your brother?"
Yuan Zhao paused, a chill running through him. Sure enough, no one had any secrets from the Eastern Depot.
She had just spoken with her elder brother and Wenfeng when Rongruo found out.
Noticing her pause, Rong Ruo gave an impatient stern look, and Yuan Zhao snapped back to his senses and continued massaging Rong Ruo.
"I haven't decided yet."
Yuan Zhao slowly spoke:
"What does the Chief Eunuch think I should say?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Ruo opened his eyes and looked at Yuan Zhao with a half-smile.
This guy is clever; since he can't figure it out himself, he simply passes the ball to him and lets him make the decision.
"It's no secret that I like women; you can tell your brother the truth."
Rong Ruo said with a half-smile.
Yuan Zhao's lips twitched upon hearing this. This guy clearly knew that she couldn't possibly say such a thing. What she least wanted to see was her family getting into trouble, yet he was still making sarcastic remarks and watching her make a fool of herself. If that was the case, then she shouldn't be blamed.
Thinking of this, she spoke:
“I am going to tell my brother that the chief eunuch has been captivated by my beauty and has fallen head over heels for me.”
Even Rong Ruo's eyelids twitched upon hearing this. He carefully examined Yuan Zhao for a while before slowly uttering a sentence:
"You are the most self-aware person I have ever met."
In his opinion, her appearance was at best pleasing to the eye, yet she had the audacity to say that he was bewitched by her looks; she was utterly shameless.
Yuan Zhao wasn't angry when he heard this; he just gave up and acted like he was doing nothing.
"Then, Chief Supervisor, what should this woman say?"
