Lu Jingyan frowned slightly, and when he lifted the carriage curtain, he saw Zhao Yaoyao, dressed in fine clothes and with tears on her face, standing at the gate. She then walked quickly toward him.

He was eager to see Liang Qiuli and was very impatient with this, but he still maintained a gentle demeanor on the surface.

"What's going on here?"

Zhao Yaoyao thought that her uncle was always like this, so she didn't notice Lu Jingyan's impatience at all.

She just felt she needed to portray herself as even more wronged so that her uncle would help her punish that little bitch properly.

"Uncle, Yao Yao knew you had returned to the capital today. She hadn't seen you in a long time, so she came to the General's Mansion without stopping for a moment."

But...but...the people from the General's Mansion actually stopped me and wouldn't let me into the mansion.

If this is Uncle's wish, Yao Yao... Yao Yao will definitely not bother Uncle again.

As Zhao Yaoyao spoke, she made a gesture as if she was about to leave.

"Did you run into anyone when you came here?"

Lu Jingyan had always known that his niece was spoiled and willful, but he didn't care before. However, now that Liang Qiuli was in the household, he could no longer indulge Zhao Yaoyao and let her do whatever she wanted in the house.

If Zhao Yaoyao really offended Lili, she deserved to be kicked out.

Zhao Yaoyao didn't expect that her uncle would ask her questions even before she had put in any effort. Without thinking much about it, she started pouring out all her grievances.

"Uncle, it was that new maid or something in your household who got Liu Mama to kick me out! You have to stand up for me!"

Zhao Yaoyao was so engrossed in her conversation that she didn't notice Lu Jingyan's face had turned completely gloomy.

"Shut up! Who gave you the guts!"

Startled by Lu Jingyan's angry shout, Zhao Yaoyao was stunned. She had never seen her uncle so angry with her before.

Zhao Yaoyao's eyes instantly reddened; she was truly aggrieved this time, looking at Lu Jingyan with disbelief.

"Could it be...could it be that in my uncle's eyes...I'm not even as good as...?"

Zhao Yaoyao wanted to continue arguing, but Lu Jingyan didn't want to hear anyone slander Liang Qiuli anymore, so he coldly interrupted Zhao Yaoyao.

"Of course you can't compare. She's the wife I've chosen, your future aunt."

"What future aunt-in-law?"

Zhao Yaoyao muttered to herself, feeling that this matter seemed to be beyond her expectations.

She always felt that since her uncle was almost thirty and still had no intention of getting married, the general's mansion would be hers in the future.

But now this young and beautiful woman has suddenly appeared, and my uncle even said that she should be the wife of the general. If my uncle has his own child, wouldn't Zhao Yaoyao's status in the general's mansion or among the noble ladies in the capital plummet?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yaoyao felt a strong sense of crisis, her lips pressed tightly together, and a hint of malice flashed in her eyes.

After all, she never imagined that the General's Mansion, which she considered her own, would one day fall into the hands of others.

Is it just a matter of...

"Go home and reflect on your actions. If you still can't learn to respect your elders, then don't come to the General's Mansion again."

Lu Jingyan didn't want to waste time with Zhao Yaoyao; he was waiting to see Lili.

His words carried an unquestionable authority, and his cold gaze swept over Zhao Yaoyao before he turned and left, leaving Zhao Yaoyao standing alone at the gate of the General's Mansion.

Zhao Yaoyao's mind was in turmoil, so she didn't chase after them anymore; she needed to go back and think of a solution.

When she returned to the Zhao residence, she saw a man standing guard at the gate, eagerly anticipating something.
