It turns out it was all because of Yuan Zhao!
Zhou Shiyuan's pupils dilated violently, but by the time he reacted, Rong Ruo had already left, so he could only vent his anger on Yuan Zhao.
"You bitch!"
Yuan Zhao didn't know what Rong Ruo had said to Zhou Shiyuan before he left, but seeing his furious expression, he knew it wasn't anything nice.
She raised an eyebrow indifferently and said sarcastically:
"I don't understand what you're saying."
“You, a woman, have completely refused to return home. This is the fine daughter raised by the General’s Mansion.”
Zhou Shiyuan couldn't do anything to Yuan Zhao, so he could only bring up her not coming home at night.
Yuan Zhao's eyes turned cold, his lips curled down, and he said calmly:
“My Yuan family is naturally not as disciplined as your Zhou family.”
These words were obviously mocking; everyone knows about the recent troubles at the Yongning Marquis's residence.
First, the wife of the Marquis of Yongning was exposed for having an affair, and then it was revealed that the Marquis of Yongning was having an affair with a woman who was the mistress that the Marquis of Yongning's heir had kept outside.
Zhou Shiyuan knew perfectly well that Yuan Zhao was mocking him. He glared at Yuan Zhao, panting heavily, looking like he wanted to grind the other man to dust, but he was helpless against Yuan Zhao.
Not to mention that the current Yongning Marquis's Mansion is no match for the Yuan family, the words Rong Ruo just said when he left made him dare not act rashly.
Seeing that he dared not speak out in anger, Yuan Zhao's eyes flashed with contempt. If Zhou Shiyuan had started a fight with her at this moment, she would have thought that he had some backbone.
What scholarly integrity, what pride—even if they existed before, after three years of suffering, none of them remained in the Yongning Marquis's mansion.
"Since Your Highness, oh no, since Young Master Zhou has no further instruction, then I shall go back and rest."
Before leaving, Yuan Zhao did not forget to rub salt into Zhou Shiyuan's wounds.
Yuan Zhao was also forcing himself to stay strong, but he couldn't hold on any longer once he returned to his own courtyard.
She wasn't seriously injured last night, but it's not something she can recover from just one night's rest.
Wenfeng and Linglong were more seriously injured, so she didn't let them come back with her today. Yuan Zhao didn't show any fear in front of the little maid. She only slowly exhaled after entering the room. Then, she realized that something was wrong.
"who?"
As soon as she finished speaking, two slender figures appeared in front of her.
"This servant is Qingcheng, and this servant is Hongzhao, who greets Madam."
Yuan Zhao frowned as he looked at the two stunningly beautiful maids who had suddenly appeared, a look of confusion in his eyes.
Before she could speak, Qingcheng said:
"We two servants are here to serve you, Madam, on your orders!"
"Master? Supervisor?"
Yuan Zhao asked a question tentatively, and sure enough, the two maids nodded.
Yuan Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She was just thinking that Feng and Linglong were not here, and she had no one she trusted in the manor, so she was afraid that these days would be difficult. But she did not expect that the evil star had considered things so thoroughly and actually sent the two of them over.
But are these two really maids?
Yuan Zhao couldn't help but glance at Hong Zhao and the other woman again. The two women truly lived up to their names, both being rare beauties. One was alluring, while the other was delicate and charming, each with her own unique characteristics.
That jinx is so lucky!
Yuan Zhao thought to himself but didn't show it.
Rong Ruo's delivery was indeed timely; Yuan Zhao wrote a letter and had Hong Zhao deliver it to the General's Mansion.
She certainly wasn't going to hide such a big thing that happened last night, and besides, she couldn't hide it anyway; she had to give an explanation to the guards her father had sent.
Regardless of how the Yuan family reacted upon receiving the letter, the Zhou household was already in complete chaos.
