The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night

"Sister Zhou, I like you very much. How about asking the emperor to make you a county lord? Or do you want to be a concubine?"

Xie Yiyao smiled innocently and asked Zhou Nianchu.

In Datong, women also have titles, which are usually given to women of the royal family. From high to low, they are the eldest princess, princess, county princess, county lady and country lady.

Few ordinary women can receive this honor.

Once you get the title, it will be a lifetime honor!

This is a matter of absolute honor to the family. In the past, Lord Zhou would have been ecstatic, but now he is more inclined to reward the imperial concubine. This was said by Xie Yiyao in front of so many ordinary people. As long as her granddaughter said so, she would not go back on her word!

Lord Zhou was ecstatic and kept hinting to Zhou Nianchu with his eyes that he wanted the title of Imperial Concubine!

Zhou Nianchu glanced at his grandfather's hint, his eyes flickered, and he immediately knelt in front of Xie Yiyao:

"Thank you, Queen, for bestowing upon my daughter the title of Country Lady!"

Xie Yiyao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. The reason why she said that just now was to see whether Zhou Nianchu would be more willing to rely on a man or on herself when faced with greater interests.

Fortunately, Zhou Nianchu did not disappoint her. After all, after listening to the argument between Zhou Nianchu and Lord Zhou, she was inspired to admire his talent. She planned to focus on training Zhou Nianchu and let her be a role model for all women in Da Deng.

Since she was chosen as a role model for all women in Deng, she would naturally give Zhou Nianchu the respect she deserved.

"Feng Junyi, please issue an order!"

Feng Junyi did not hesitate at all and immediately issued an edict to confer the title of county lady on Zhou Nianchu and even granted her a mansion!

Zhou Nianchu thanked En with tears in her eyes. She didn't expect that she had suddenly gone from hell to heaven. She could finally escape from the clutches of her stepmother and have absolute freedom!

Although she didn't know why Xie Yiyao was so good to her, she would swear allegiance to Xie Yiyao and would not hesitate to die for her!

"You should hurry up and sign up. In a few days, all applicants will have to undergo a three-month training. If you don't do well in the exam after three months, you will be rejected."

Xie Yiyao's expression turned serious. Zhou Nianchu was a good talent and she hoped she could go further.

Zhou Nian'an looked at Zhou Nianchu with a sinister look on her face. She was so angry. How could this bastard have such good luck!

Why does she deserve to be the village lady?

When Lord Zhou saw that his granddaughter did not follow his wishes and actually chose the title of Lady of the Country on her own initiative, he was so angry that his beard was shaking. His Zhou family was watching the wealth and honor that they had obtained just slip away!

If she was given the title of Imperial Concubine, it would add strength to the Zhou family, but this rebellious grandson insisted on asking for the title of Lady of the Country. The title of Lady of the Country sounds glorious, but it can't add any strength to the Zhou family!

After all, as a woman who has been granted a title, when Zhou Nianchu gets married, this honor will be taken to her husband's family and will have nothing to do with their Zhou family anymore.

Although he was angry, he had the courage to thank the emperor for his reward, so he quickly knelt down and expressed his gratitude. Seeing this, the Zhou family also knelt down to express their gratitude!

Xie Yiyao and Feng Junyi ignored this hypocritical family and turned away.

Lord Zhou waited until Feng Junyi and Xie Yiyao walked away before he dared to stand up. He glared at Zhou Nianchu fiercely, then looked at the people who were still gathered around to watch the excitement. He didn't say much and turned around to go back home.

Seeing this, Zhou Nianchu hurriedly followed.

"grandfather!"

Zhou Nianchu called out to Elder Zhou with an unwilling look on his face, and Elder Zhou turned around and said:

"We'll talk about it when we get home."

Zhou Nianchu knew that in his grandfather's eyes, face was more important than anything else, and it was not easy for him to persuade him to return home in public today.

Now she decided not to challenge her grandfather's bottom line anymore, so she followed Lord Zhou back to the Zhou Mansion.

"Your Majesty!"

As soon as he entered the study, Lord Zhou scolded Zhou Nianchu harshly.

Zhou Nianchu knelt upright and looked at the study room which she had never been to before. She did not regret her choice at all.

If it weren't for her current status as a county lady, how could she have entered this study.

"Do you know you were wrong!"

Lord Zhou was so angry that he could hardly stand. Zhou Nianchu entering the palace as a concubine was a blessing that their Zhou family had been longing for, but she was rejected by this rebellious grandson!

How could he not be angry!

"You rebellious girl, I will beat you to death!"

Zhou Nianchu's father, Uncle Zhou, was also very angry at this moment and raised his hand to hit Zhou Nianchu.

Zhou Nianchu looked at his cold and selfish father with fierce eyes:

"Just try to touch me!"

If it were in the past, she would definitely be afraid of her father. After all, her happiness and misfortune in life all depended on her father's thoughts.

But after what happened today, she realized that her father no longer had any fatherly love for her due to her stepmother's instigation, so she no longer had any hope in him and naturally no longer respected him.

Uncle Zhou's heart trembled when he saw his daughter's cruel eyes. In his memory before his death, his daughter had always been respectful to him. He didn't expect that she would dare to look at him with such eyes today.

"What? Do you think that just because you were given the title of a county lord by the emperor, you can ignore me, your father?"

Uncle Zhou yelled at Zhou Nianchu angrily, but he didn't dare to continue his actions.

After hearing what his father said, Zhou Nianchu did not answer but stared at him expressionlessly.

Elder Zhou rubbed his aching brow, feeling somewhat distressed:

"Making achievements and bringing honor to the family is a man's job, and only a man can do it. You, a woman, don't stay at home to take care of your husband and children, but go out in the streets all day long. How will your sisters get married in the future?"

"Grandfather, the Queen also often appears in public, but she married the most noble man in the world."

Zhou Nianchu refuted without showing any weakness!

Elder Zhou was speechless. After a long silence, he said:

"She is she, and you are you! You are different!"

"We are both women, what's the difference? She can make a career on her own, so why can't I?"

"Grandfather, you have always pointed to my father, uncles, and brothers to support the family, but don't you understand at all? Who do you think is capable of this important task? My father who favors his concubines and neglects his wife, or my uncles who visit brothels all day long? Or my brothers who are ignorant and uneducated?"

Zhou Nianchu looked at Lord Zhou with sarcasm in his eyes, his tone was sharp and became more and more aggressive.

"Snapped!"

Lord Zhou felt sore because of Zhou Nianchu, he was so angry that he was shaking all over. He couldn't control himself and raised his hand to slap her hard in the face!

Five finger marks were instantly left on Zhou Nianchu's face. After hearing Zhou Nianchu's unorthodox words, the old man of the Zhou family was so angry that he raised his hand to hit her.

Zhou Nianchu turned around and glared at Zhou Jiadalang fiercely, and said to him in a cold tone:

"Just try to touch me!"

She was willing to let Lord Zhou beat her because Lord Zhou had indeed fulfilled his responsibilities as a grandfather after her mother passed away. If it weren't for him protecting her, she would not have grown up to this day.

But he, as a father, didn't fulfill his fatherly duties to her at all, how could she possibly let him beat her!

He didn't deserve to hit her!

"Rebellious girl! Rebellious girl!"

The Zhou family's uncle was frightened by Zhou Nianchu's cruel eyes and didn't dare to attack again. He could only cover his chest and repeat the word "rebellious girl".
