"Mom, why are you pulling me?" Zhou Ruoyan didn't understand Sun's thoughts at all. She shook her hand and asked.
Sun's face darkened as she looked at her discontented daughter, not knowing what to say.
Zhou Ruo'an crossed her arms over her chest as she looked at the two of them casually. At this moment, she could not help but sneer and raise her hand to beckon Hongxiu, who was standing to the side.
"Bring me a stool," Zhou Ruo'an ordered.
Although Hongxiu was puzzled by this order, she was already used to following her master's orders. Without any hesitation, she brought a stool over from the side and placed it behind Zhou Ruo'an's back.
"Miss!" Hongxiu called out softly as she walked over to help Zhou Ruo'an to sit down.
Zhou Ruo'an's whole body stiffened when she felt Hongxiu's fingers under her arm. She subconsciously wanted to shake them off.
However, she raised her head and looked at Zhou Ruoyan, who was glaring at her. She barely suppressed her body's reflexes, allowing Hongxiu to do as she pleased.
"You really think this is your own home? You truly do not know shame! " Zhou Ruoyan did not notice the change in Zhou Ruo'an at all. She still treated her as the cowardly person from before. A trace of mockery flashed across her eyes as she said this.
"Zhou Second Miss," Uncle Zhao took a step forward and faintly smiled at him. "This is Prince Ning's Mansion, not your Zhou Family."
Sun's expression changed. Her long nails dug deep into her palm. She was barely able to control her expression.
"It's precisely because this is the Prince Ning's Mansion that Little An can't stay here," Sun said softly. She used a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes, looking like she was pining for Zhou Ruo'an.
Zhou Ruo'an had finally seen through their jokes. Seeing that the fire was about to reach her, Zhou Ruo'an casually glanced at them.
"You're right?" Zhou Ruo'an smiled and asked, "Are you talking about yourself?"
Sun looked at him angrily. Her handkerchief was constantly tearing in her hand and her face was wrinkled.
"Xiao An, I know you're angry with me, but how can you say such words in front of others? In the end, I am your mother! " Sun gritted her teeth as she spoke.
Hearing Sun's words, Zhou Ruoyan opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she was suppressed by the other party's gaze.
"Miss," the woman standing next to Sun looked at Zhou Ruoyan with a pained expression and comforted her in a low voice, "Madam, you did this for your own good. When she arrives at the mansion, you won't even need to say a word!"
Zhou Ruoyan gradually recovered from her depression as she thought about how she would stick to what she said in the prefecture.
"A defeated opponent!" Zhou Ruoyan muttered through gritted teeth.
Even though they had lowered their voices, Zhou Ruo'an could still hear them clearly.
Zhou Ruo'an's finger moved slightly and the green pearl flew over, drawing a green light in the air.
"Ah!" Zhou Ruoyan couldn't help but scream as she raised her hand to rub her forehead.
"What happened to you?" In the end, she was still the daughter she had always doted on. Sun turned around without thinking and asked, "Let mother see."
Zhou Ruoyan had always been pampered, so she couldn't help but look at Ye Ci with tears in her eyes, her tone filled with grievance.
"Mom!" Zhou Ruoyan called out in a low voice.
Staring at the chaos before her, Zhou Ruo'an's expression didn't change. She slowly sipped the tea in her hand as a trace of happiness flashed past her eyes.
"Defeat him?" Zhou Ruo'an mulled over this word in her heart as she gave Zhou Ruoyan a meaningful look.
Uncle Zhao, who had been standing quietly at the side, noticed Zhou Ruo'an's expression with his sharp eyes. His opinion of her constantly changed.
"Uncle Zhao, send our guest off." After waiting for a while, Zhou Ruo'an couldn't help but rub her forehead and give an order as she was so annoyed by their racket.
As if provoked by Zhou Ruo'an's voice, Zhou Ruoyan pushed away her wife who was standing in front of her and asked while gritting her teeth, "Zhou Ruo'an, were you the one who did this?"
Zhou Ruo'an slowly stopped her steps and looked at him with surprise. She asked innocently, "What evidence is there? There's no proof that I wouldn't listen. "
Zhou Ruo'an didn't wait to see how those people would react after she finished speaking. She turned around and left without hesitation. Hongxiu chased after her without a second thought.
A trace of satisfaction flashed across Zhou Ruo'an's eyes when she heard the sound of footsteps behind her. She then touched the bracelet on her hand, asking him to step down and give it to Hongxiu.
"It's for you," Zhou Ruo'an said carelessly.
Hongxiu took the item in a daze and couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. She refused nervously, "Miss, I can't take this thing. It's too expensive."
"If you don't want to, just throw it away," Zhou Ruo'an said, her tone very calm.
Hongxiu bit her lips and silently decided in her heart that she must treat Zhou Ruo'an well.
Although Zhou Ruo'an had left without any hesitation, the farce in the main hall continued.
"It must be Zhou Ruo'an! He's the one who ambushed me! " Zhou Ruoyan shouted through gritted teeth, her eyes red.
Seeing how he was acting like a shrew, a hint of impatience and disdain flashed across Uncle Zhao's eyes.
Previously, their Zhou Family could be considered to be from the Wealthy Class, but now, Uncle Zhao curled his lips. Sooner or later, it would fall into their hands.
"See the guests out," Uncle Zhao said softly, the smile on his face like it was painted.
Sun stomped her feet and left reluctantly under Uncle Zhao's gaze.
"Mother, are you going to let him off so easily?" Zhou Ruoyan asked with a sinister look on her face.
Sun was frightened by her daughter's expression. She looked at him with dissatisfaction and shook the handkerchief in her hand.
"We'll talk about it when we get home," Sun warned him as she stared at him.
Zhou Ruo'an didn't put this farce in her heart at all. At this moment, she was fully anticipating the results of the competition in seven days.
"The two of you, combine as you please," Zhou Ruo'an ordered as she looked at the men who were panting heavily.
"What training method is this?" A boorish man scratched the back of his head in confusion and shouted.
Zhou Ruo'an looked at him expressionlessly and said coldly, "The main point of this training method is to prohibit it! Do you understand what I mean? "
Those people were all thick-skinned and tough. Hearing Zhou Ruo'an's words, they were even more lost, so they shouted helplessly, "What do you mean by that? We don't understand! "
