Within the luxurious palace, Zhou Fei was sitting by the side with a smile on his face. He was carefully attending to the emperor, who was dressed in bright yellow clothes.

"I heard Zhou Ruo'an is your brother's woman," the Emperor said carelessly. "I wonder how much you know about this niece of yours."

Why is it Zhou Ruo'an again! Hearing this familiar name, Zhou Fei could not help but gnash his teeth.

This irritation flashed past his face. When he raised his head again, Zhou Fei was once again the Emperor's most caring talker.

"She," Zhou Fei frowned, then said with some hesitation. "She had always been very obedient, but during this period of time, she did not know why, and displayed a very hostile attitude towards Zhou Mansion."

"Do you know the reason?" The Emperor raised an eyebrow and asked.

Zhou Fei let out a long sigh and acted like he was the elder of a junior.

"Poor child, he must have been frightened to death by that thief," Zhou Fei said as he wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief. He looked at the emperor with some embarrassment. "Look at me, why are you saying all this in front of you?"

Within the Zhou Mansion, Lady Maidservant gathered in a pile and discussed the rumors outside in a low voice, but she did not see the person quietly standing behind them.

"I heard that Eldest Miss used military strategies to defeat the elite soldiers and generals under Ning Wang."

"How is this possible? "Eldest Miss is weak by nature, she doesn't even dare to speak loudly to Maidservant from the Residence."

"Whether or not you believe it or not, that my sister's aunt's nephew's niece is Maidservant at Prince Ning's Mansion, he is the one who told me this."

"..."

Maidservant, who was standing beside Zhou Ruoyan, looked at his expression carefully and coughed heavily while gritting her teeth.

"The things in your hands are done?" she asked coldly.

At first, they didn't think much of it, but when they saw Zhou Ruoyan standing there, everyone's expression changed.

"Please welcome Second Missllian." The group of people all kneeled down, feeling uneasy.

Zhou Ruoyan looked at them expressionlessly and asked, "What did you just say? "What happened to Zhou Ruo'an?"

The people who were boasting about themselves couldn't help but tremble as they lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.

"What is it? Is it useless for me to speak now? " Zhou Ruoyan asked in a shrill voice.

"Reporting to Second Miss," the man said in a trembling voice, "Rumors have it outside that Young Miss led 23 recruits to defeat Ning Wang's 50 elite soldiers."

Zhou Ruoyan's expression kept changing, and she couldn't say anything else for a long time.

Maidservant, who was standing next to her, cast a glance at those people and scolded, "All of you are lazy here, do something!"

Those people all had submissive and submissive impressions on them, as they swiftly departed from this place.

The lively place quickly became quiet with only Zhou Ruoyan and Maidservant standing behind her.

"Slut!" Zhou Ruoyan growled through gritted teeth.

He had thought that Zhou Ruo'an would disappear from his life as quickly as possible after what had happened, but he had never expected her to be so haunting.

Zhou Ruoyan aggressively rushed into Sun's courtyard with a ferocious expression.

"Mom," Zhou Ruoyan shouted, "That bitch Zhou Ruo'an has caused a new mess outside!"

Hearing Zhou Ruoyan's words, Sun's smile disappeared.

"Go and close the door," Sun ordered in a low voice as she raised her chin towards the woman beside her. "Don't let anyone else come over."

"Madame, please be at ease," he replied in a low voice before hurriedly leaving the room.

Zhou Ruoyan couldn't help but stamp her feet when she saw Sun only paying attention to the others and ignoring her. She felt incredibly wronged.

"Mother!" Did you hear what I said! What's wrong with that restless bitch Zhou Ruo'an again! "

"Shut up!" Sun looked at Zhou Ruoyan with an expressionless face as she scolded her in a low voice.

Zhou Ruoyan was stunned for a moment as she looked at the person in front of her with disbelief. "Mother …"

After all, she was her own daughter. Sun poked him fiercely on the forehead and her heart softened.

"What is it? Do you still feel wronged? " Sun glanced at him and asked coldly.

Zhou Ruoyan looked at him angrily before she turned her head to look elsewhere. The jade beads stuck on her head bumped into each other, making a lot of noise for a long time.

"You were too rash just now." Ignoring Zhou Ruoyan's youngest daughter's performance, Sun said warmly, "I know you hate Zhou Ruo'an, but no matter what you say, you must force her. You can't be as careless as you were just now!"

Only after listening to Sun's explanation did Zhou Ruoyan realize her mistake. She turned her eyes around and sat beside Sun, full of flattery.

"Mom, I was wrong," Zhou Ruoyan said softly. "However, I am still not convinced in my heart. How could Zhou Ruo'an have that kind of ability!" One by one, those people started to believe this false news! "

"Don't get involved in Zhou Ruo'an's business in the future," Sun said softly. "Your father has his own arrangements."

Zhou Ruoyan snorted coldly, finally calming down.

"Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to buy new jewelry?" Sun looked at him lovingly. "Let's go today then."

Zhou Ruoyan's eyes immediately lit up as she tossed Zhou Ruo'an's incident to the back of her mind.

"Remember, your target is Third Prince's Consort!" Sun said in a low voice.

When she mentioned her beloved one, even if Zhou Ruoyan had a big temper, she couldn't help but withdraw it. A faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Mother ~" Zhou Ruoyan called out in a long voice, but her eyes were sparkling with determination.

Ling Tianwang returned to the Royal Mansion with an unsightly expression. After locking himself up in his study for a long time, he slowly suppressed the tyrannical feeling in his heart.

"Where's Miss Zhou?" Ling Tianwang asked coldly.

As if he didn't feel the annoyance around Ling Tianwang, Uncle Zhao's expression didn't change as he replied softly, "Miss Zhou has been in the military camp training with those soldiers."

"Is his wound healed?" Ling Tianwang asked softly with an ugly expression.

"This …" Uncle Zhao smiled bitterly and did not reply.

Knowing that his tone wasn't right, Ling Tianwang closed his eyes and ordered in a cold voice, "Get someone to invite Miss Zhou back."

"The prince is looking for me?" In the army camp, Zhou Ruo'an slowly stopped running and kept breathing normally. She asked softly, "Do you know what happened?"

The person who had been sent out was standing obediently in front of her. He was slightly fawning over her as he said, "The Prince didn't mention anything about it. You will know once Miss Zhou returns to the mansion."

Raising her hand to rub her chin, Zhou Ruo'an waved at Hee Bin and reminded him, "I'm going back to the Mansion. Remember to let them train according to the plan."
