Yuan Shu, accompanied by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, entered his family's inner courtyard. In the past, Sun Ce often used to come here to play, but ever since Yuan Yao suffered a severe injury, Yuan Shu always felt an inner fire when he saw Sun Ce. Although he knew he shouldn't blame Sun Ce, he still felt a surge of anger upon seeing him and thus confined Sun Ce to the Sun Manor.
The reason for Zhou Yu's confinement was due to the mission entrusted to Zhuge Liang by Chen Xi. A series of rumors had made Yuan Shu extremely wary of Zhou Yu, and as a consequence, Sun Ce's close confidants like Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Ling Cao, Gu Yong, and Liao Li were also put on ice.
"Father..." In his groggy state, Yuan Yao noticed Yuan Shu's arrival and struggled to open his eyes, seeing Sun Ce and Zhou Yu standing behind Yuan Shu.
