Hearing her father's words, Yuan Zhao glanced at Zhou Shiyuan, who happened to be looking up at her as well. Their eyes met, and Yuan Zhao smiled faintly. Zhou Shiyuan felt a blur before his eyes and suddenly realized that Yuan Zhao was even more beautiful than he had imagined.
He noticed this last time too, but the moment she spoke, the feeling vanished.
Seeing Yuan Zhao's smile now, he seemed to have forgotten again.
However, Yuan Zhao always managed to bring him back to his senses quickly. He only heard Yuan Zhao slowly say:
"My eyes aren't blind."
Zhou Shiyuan's face changed. "That damned bastard."
Yuan's father, on the other hand, laughed heartily:
"Yes, that makes sense."
"In my opinion, you don't need to stay in this filthy place anymore. Let's get a divorce and go home with your father."
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Zhou, who had remained silent until now, spoke up:
“My dear in-law, this is absolutely unacceptable.”
If it were before, she wouldn't have stopped him, but now that so many things have happened in the Marquis's mansion, if Yuan Zhao leaves now, their Marquis really won't be able to hold on any longer.
Therefore, she could not possibly agree to let Yuan Zhao leave.
Yuan's father, who had a fiery temper, immediately roared upon hearing Madam Zhou's words:
“You’re all trying to kill her, so I’m not going to leave my daughter here.”
"It's a misunderstanding, my dear in-laws. How could we do such a thing? I won't talk about others, but I truly consider Zhaozhao my own granddaughter."
"This is something that everyone can see."
"If you still don't believe me, you can ask Zhaozhao."
Since Madam Zhou dared to say that, she naturally knew that even if others investigated, they wouldn't find anything.
She never showed her face in many matters.
She used to have that foolish mother, but now she has her father and Zhou Shiyuan protecting her, so she has always been good at hiding herself.
In her previous life, Yuan Zhao was deceived in this way. She always thought her grandmother was the best person, but she only found out on her deathbed that the old lady of the Zhou family was the one who had hidden the deepest secret.
Yuan's father was unaware of the situation; he was usually oblivious to the intricacies of women's relationships. Upon hearing Old Madam Zhou's words, he hesitated.
Yuan Zhao knew that her father had been coaxed by Old Madam Zhou, but she did not intend to leave at this time.
The real show is just beginning. She hasn't seen those who bullied her get their just deserts yet, so how could she possibly leave now?
Thinking of this, she spoke:
"Father, come and rest in my yard for a while."
Yuan's father was always a doting father to his daughter, so naturally he would do whatever his daughter said.
Yuan Zhao bowed to Madam Zhou before leaving. Madam Zhou had a kind expression, but as soon as Yuan Zhao left, her expression changed instantly.
"What an amazing girl."
"Old Madam Zhou murmured to herself."
If it were her, she wouldn't be able to handle what happened last night so calmly today, but Yuan Zhao didn't show any emotion from beginning to end.
Madam Zhou began to feel a deep sense of apprehension towards Yuan Zhao.
She glanced at her grandson, whose head had been beaten into a pig's head by Yuan's father, and frowned, saying:
"Were you confused just now?"
"If anyone finds out what happened last night, we're all finished."
Zhou Shiyuan lowered his head, clutching his chest, and remained silent. He had indeed been thinking that if they were going to die, they would all die together. Only now, after calming down, did he realize that he had acted impulsively.
Old Madam Zhou vaguely guessed some of his thoughts and said calmly:
"Go back and ask a doctor to take a good look at you, so that you don't develop any chronic illness."
"Don't provoke Yuan Zhao for now. Let me think about it some more."
After sending Zhou Shiyuan away, Old Madam Zhou's face was full of disappointment.
They're all hopeless idiots, they don't even look at the state of their families, yet they're still so arrogant.
What will become of this Marquis's mansion in the future?
