"What a great 'Prince Ning'," Zhou Fu sneered and flicked his sleeves as he left.

Zhou Ruo'an finally snapped out of her thoughts. Looking at the figure that was about to disappear in front of her, he shouted, "Wait a moment!"

Zhou Fu's heart skipped a beat as he thought he had guessed Zhou Ruo'an's plan. He looked at her with an expressionless face.

Thinking about her decision, Zhou Ruo'an gave Zhou Fu a rare good look.

"Ning Wang," Zhou Ruo'an shouted, her eyes filled with an unknown anticipation. "Can I trouble you with something?"

Ling Tianwang raised his eyebrows and walked over with big strides. He smiled and said, "Of course."

Zhou Fu couldn't help but frown as he watched the conversation between the two. He suddenly had a bad premonition.

"I'm begging you to be a witness today," Zhou Ruo'an said with a smile. "Lord Zhou and I have cut off our relationship. From now on, the road back to the bridge will no longer be a problem!"

Zhou Ruo'an clenched her fists subconsciously, but there was no hint of regret in her heart.

"He's a terrible father. Don't you ever resent him?" Zhou Ruo'an asked herself in her heart, but the soul of the original owner had already disappeared somewhere, so he was destined to not get any answers.

Ling Tianwang looked at Zhou Ruo'an in surprise. He couldn't help but look at her deeply.

Zhou Ruo'an's words struck his head like lightning. Zhou Fu stood there blankly without any other reactions for a long time.

"Break off the relationship between father and daughter?" After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Fu finally said those words with difficulty as he moved his lips. He asked, "Do you know what that means?"

Zhou Ruo'an looked at him doubtfully and nodded without hesitation. With a natural expression, she said, "Of course I know. Take care."

Seeing that he couldn't wait to send off the guest, the faint reluctance in Zhou Fu's heart immediately disappeared. He shook his wide sleeves and angrily turned around to leave.

Zhou Ruo'an shrugged and did not take Zhou Fu's weird behavior seriously.

"I'm going to the training field," Zhou Ruo'an said softly as Ling Tianwang had been protecting her intentionally or unintentionally.

Ling Tianwang looked at Zhou Ruo'an's determined eyes. He tried to capture some traces of reluctance from them, but after a long while, he had no choice but to admit that he failed.

There was no reluctance in her eyes. Instead, there was anticipation for her future!

Seeing Ling Tianwang's dazed look, Zhou Ruo'an frowned and lightly waved her slender white finger in front of his face.

Ling Tianwang didn't even see what passed in front of him. He subconsciously lifted his hand and grabbed forward. His attacks were swift like a ferocious tiger pouncing towards its prey.

Seeing Ling Tianwang's reaction, a hint of surprise flashed across Zhou Ruo'an's eyes. She quickly withdrew her finger and put it on her back.

"What are you thinking?" Zhou Ruo'an asked.

Ling Tianwang slowly came back to his senses. He blinked and asked, "Do you only want to go to the school field?"

Zhou Ruo'an nodded without any hesitation. Then, as if she suddenly thought of something, she looked at Ling Tianwang vigilantly.

"Are you afraid of losing to me, so you don't want me to go to the drill grounds to train them?" Zhou Ruo'an asked.

"Is this how I look to you?" A hint of not knowing whether to laugh or cry quickly flashed across Ling Tianwang's eyes. At the same time, there was also a faint hint of dissatisfaction.

Zhou Ruo'an pondered for a moment before taking two cautious steps back. She nodded. "This is the second time you've stopped me from going to the drill grounds."

Carrying this suspicion, Ling Tianwang wanted to get angry, but when he saw her crystal clear eyes, the anger in Ling Tianwang's heart seemed to have been doused with cold water and disappeared without a trace.

"Never mind, you can go now. I'll be waiting for the arrival of the agreement of seven days," Ling Tianwang said in a low voice as he rubbed his forehead.

Zhou Ruo'an raised her chin proudly.

"I'll definitely bring you a surprise when the time comes!" Zhou Ruo'an said confidently.

Looking at her cute appearance, Ling Tianwang couldn't help but be a bit absent-minded. He didn't react until that skinny back disappeared in front of him.

Zhou Fu was sent to Zhou Mansion with great fanfare by the soldiers sent by Ning Wang. Very quickly, the other families in the capital received the news.

"Could it be that these two people have already shed off all pretense of cordiality?"

"We didn't hear anything up there. Could it be that Third Prince's faction can't hold themselves back any longer?"

"..."

There were countless speculations about the relationship between Zhou Mansion and Ning Wang in the capital, but no one knew that all of this was because of a single woman.

Inside the palace, the emperor looked at Consort Zhou who was leaning against him with a smile that was not really a smile. He dragged his voice and asked, "I heard that Jin Ting has been very lively these past few days? I wonder if my beloved concubine has heard of any news? "

Consort Zhou had a gentle face and was dressed elegantly. Although she was already over thirty years old, she was still as charming as ever.

She quickly raised her head to look at the expression on the Emperor's face and quickly came to a decision.

Consort Zhou stood up from the emperor's side and knelt before him without any hesitation, accompanied by a soft sigh.

Seeing Consort Zhou's reaction, the Emperor raised his eyebrows, but didn't have the intention of helping her up in a hurry like he usually did.

Consort Zhou lowered her eyes, a trace of malevolence flashing across her eyes. Her usual expression was completely different from his usual one.

"This matter is too absurd. This concubine simply doesn't know how to explain it to His Majesty," Consort Zhou said in a low voice, looking extremely ashamed.

"Oh?" The emperor nonchalantly knocked on the table as he smiled and said, "I would actually like to know what's so absurd about this matter."

Consort Zhou heaved a long sigh and lowered her voice, saying, "The Yuan clan passed away early on, leaving only one girl behind. This matter was caused by him."

The emperor's eyes narrowed as an extremely delicate figure vaguely appeared in his mind.

"My poor niece of mine was kidnapped by bandits some time ago. Brother and Sister-in-law was very anxious and used all sorts of methods to finally find her whereabouts," Consort Zhou said softly. She gave Zhou Fu a favorable impression without batting an eyelid, "My poor niece was actually saved by King Ning!"

"Ning Wang?" A trace of scheming flashed across the Emperor's eyes as he smiled and said, "I didn't expect him to be someone who would treat the fairer sex with pity."

Consort Zhou lowered her eyes and did not make any sound, as if she did not hear anything.

The emperor was very satisfied with Consort Zhou's understanding. He casually glanced at her and said, "You may rise."

Only then did Consort Zhou stand up from the cold ground. Her knees were sore, but she didn't dare to show it. Even her expression was perfect without any flaws.
