On the way back, Linglong couldn't help but ask:
"Miss, why did you save that woman? She should have been beaten to death!"
The thought of Bai Mianmian and Zhou Shiyuan's disgusting behavior towards them made her furious.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao slowly spoke:
"Since they want to disgust me, I will naturally retaliate."
In the future, it won't be her who finds disgusting in this household.
From now on, Zhou Shiyuan will have to call Bai Mianmian "Auntie" whenever he sees her. Just thinking about Zhou Shiyuan's frustrated yet helpless look makes her feel better.
Linglong instantly understood Yuan Zhao's meaning, and her eyes lit up.
"Miss has a way."
This is called treating someone in their own way.
"Just you wait and see, there's more trouble to come from this Marquis's mansion."
Bai Mianmian is a pure white lotus, and such women are most adept at winning men's hearts. Since she was able to win over Zhou Shiyuan, she must also have a way to deal with Zhou's father.
In the future, the father and son will indeed fall out of love for a woman.
Moreover, yesterday's events have deepened the conflict between the first wife and the second and third wives. The second and third wives have been implicated in the scandal, and they will definitely not let it go. There will be a lot of trouble for the Zhou family father and son later, and she can just wait and watch the show.
However, those are matters for later; what needs to be done now is to appease the eldest brother.
Thinking of this, she spoke:
"Prepare the horses."
She decided to go find her older brother, since she knew she would have to face him sooner or later anyway.
She had already figured out how to tell her older brother.
She had barely stepped out of the Marquis's residence when Old Madam Zhou summoned Zhou Shiyuan and his father to her place.
At this moment, the Zhou father and son both felt somewhat awkward when they saw each other.
Zhou Shiyuan felt even worse. If Bai Mianmian had died today, it would have been fine, but Yuan Zhao had managed to save her.
The thought that his people would have to serve his father every day and he would have to call them "aunt" made him feel uncomfortable.
He even started to resent his own father.
Even if he was ambushed, couldn't the father have restrained himself?
Although they don't admit it, anyone with eyes can see who Bai Mianmian is. How will he ever face people again?
Old Madam Zhou glanced at them and guessed most of what they were thinking. She slowly said:
"You must remember that you are father and son. Now that the Marquis's mansion is in turmoil, do not let trivial matters damage the bond between father and son."
"yes!"
Zhou's father and Zhou Shiyuan responded in unison.
They all agreed on the surface, but only they themselves knew what they were really thinking.
"There is no one else here, my lord. Please tell me in detail what happened yesterday."
Old Madam Zhou spoke with her eyes closed.
Although there was no one else around, Mr. Zhou still felt somewhat embarrassed to say this in front of his mother and son, especially considering the relationship between Bai Mianmian and Zhou Shiyuan.
However, knowing the matter was of great importance, he disregarded everything else and recounted what had happened yesterday.
After hearing his words, Old Madam Zhou frowned and said:
"You said you couldn't control yourself when you saw Bai Mianmian, which sounds like you were drugged."
Zhou Shiyuan, standing to the side, said coldly upon hearing this:
"The doctor has already examined my father and there are no traces of drugs in his body."
"What about Bai Mianmian?"
"Have you investigated her?"
Madam Zhou asked, having lived in the inner quarters for many years and knowing many methods.
If the problem isn't with his own son, then it must be with Bai Mianmian.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shiyuan spoke up:
"No, not at all. I'll send someone to check right now."
Yesterday, Bai Mianmian was dragged directly to the woodshed. No one cared about her life or death. This was something he really neglected.
Madam Zhou nodded, and then said:
“This matter is inseparable from Yuan Zhao. We have always underestimated her. Even I did not realize that she had such abilities.”
"She cannot be allowed to live!"
As she spoke, a vicious glint of murderous intent flashed in Old Madam Zhou's cloudy eyes.
Upon hearing this, Zhou's father spoke up:
"I've already had something placed in her sachet, but it will take a while."
Old Madam Zhou slowly shook her head and said:
"Too slow. It's only been a few days, and she's already caused so much trouble."
"If we wait any longer, she won't be dead, but our Marquis's mansion will have already collapsed."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhou instantly understood what Mrs. Zhou meant:
"Mother, I will make the arrangements right away."
Madam Zhou nodded, closed her eyes again, and turned the Buddhist prayer beads in her hand, once again displaying a compassionate and merciful demeanor.
