When the news reached Madam Zhou's ears, she frowned, somewhat confused about what Yuan Zhao wanted to do.
For the Marquis's family, holding a spring banquet was definitely a good thing, with more advantages than disadvantages.
If it were the old Yuan Zhao, she wouldn't have doubted it, since back then Yuan Zhao was wholeheartedly devoted to the good of the Marquis's mansion. But would the current Yuan Zhao have such good intentions?
She thought it over and over but was still worried, so she sent someone to call Zhou's father over and told him to be careful.
Although Zhou's father felt that his mother was being too paranoid, he still kept the matter in mind because he thought that the recent events were all related to Yuan Zhao.
He ordered the servants in his mansion to keep an eye on Yuan Zhao's every move, wanting to see what tricks she was up to.
However, after several days, no problems were found.
Yuan Zhao simply sent people to buy things and then sent out invitations widely.
Although the Yongning Marquis's mansion is now weak, there are still some nails left in a broken ship. In addition, they are related by marriage to General Yuan, who holds great power. Many people said they would definitely come early on that day.
All the feedback that reached Zhou's father was good news. He really couldn't see what Yuan Zhao's purpose was, so he could only suppress the matter and hope that nothing would go wrong at the Spring Banquet.
Zhou Shiyuan was also looking forward to the Spring Banquet. He had already planned to subtly introduce his son at the banquet, at least to spread the word about his prodigy status.
He didn't want to have a falling out with Yuan Zhao at this critical juncture, so he had been more restrained these past few days and hadn't provoked Yuan Zhao as blatantly as before.
He even made a point of comforting Bai Mianmian.
Bai Mianmian naturally didn't mind; in fact, she was relieved.
Previously, Zhou Shiyuan would drag her along to provoke Yuan Zhao every day, and she was always afraid that Yuan Zhao would take his anger out on her.
However, several days passed, and there was still no word from Yuan Zhao.
She didn't feel safe because of this; on the contrary, she felt increasingly uneasy, as if a storm was brewing.
She couldn't tell Zhou Shiyuan about this, but she couldn't help but tell her son.
"What do you think she really wants to do?"
She didn't expect her son to answer, but subconsciously treated the two-year-old as an adult.
There was something strange about this matter, and Zhou Yujie couldn't figure out what Yuan Zhao wanted to do, or who he was going to deal with.
He was also very uneasy. Unfortunately, this body was only two years old. He could show intelligence, but he couldn't show it too much, otherwise he would be treated as a monster.
Therefore, he could only subtly mention Yuan Zhao to Zhou Shiyuan, indicating that Yuan Zhao had not allowed him to practice martial arts in the past few days, in an attempt to attract Zhou Shiyuan's attention.
However, Zhou Shiyuan didn't think much of it and simply said:
“I told her that you need to study hard these next few days, so that you won’t be going for the time being.”
Speaking of this, Zhou Shiyuan also found Yuan Zhao to be exceptionally easy to talk to.
In this eerie atmosphere, the day of the spring banquet finally arrived.
After finishing his business, Yuan Zhao returned to his room and, as expected, saw that familiar figure again.
After so many days, she had gotten used to Rong Ruo's presence, and even his gyrfalcon. When she saw the gyrfalcon flying towards her, she was no longer afraid. Instead, she stretched out her arm to let it land.
As she walked over to feed the gyrfalcon, she asked:
"Is the Chief Supervisor free tomorrow?"
