Being favored by the paranoid master, the whole imperial capital kneels down

Lord Chu hasn't figured it out yet.

Chu Jingyue returned to the Chu family with an angry face.

"Father, if I enter the Eastern Palace, what dowry will the Chu family give me?"

Although the title of concubine sounds unpleasant, Chu Jingyue's concubine is the prince's concubine.

She is even more majestic than the wife of an ordinary family.

What's more, when the Zhou family sent Zhou Yinyin into the Eastern Palace, they gave half of the Zhou family's wealth as a dowry.

Chu Jingyue's dowry could never be less than Zhou Yinyin's.

When Lord Chu heard this, he didn't know what to say.

He looked at Chu Jingyue. This adopted daughter resembled Zhou Mingzhu 50%.

But it's only 50%.

"Didn't you take all the dowry your mother prepared for you?"

Lord Chu cannot come up with that much money.

Even if he could take it out, he would not give it to Chu Jingyue just like that.

It’s not that he doesn’t love Chu Jingyue, but because if a person doesn’t care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

Even if I love Chu Jingyue so much, what does it matter?

The Chu family actually didn't have much money many years before this.

Since he took over the Chu family, the Chu family has been struggling in every aspect. Although it looks prosperous on the surface, it has actually been living in debt for a long time.

Chu Jingyue stamped her feet anxiously.

"Didn't the Zhou family cheat all the dowry we took from my mother?"

"Father, I can't lose to Zhou Yinyin when I enter the East Palace this time, otherwise the Zhou family will think that our Chu family lost to them."

"I must fight for our Chu family's reputation."

If it were in the past, Lord Chu would definitely feel relieved if Chu Jingyue said this.

But now, Lord Chu can only suffer in silence.

"Jingyue, the Chu family's money must be kept and spent wisely."

The little savings the Chu family has now came from the two years that Nan Chuzheng returned to the Chu family and helped with the household chores.

The shop owned by the Chu family gradually began to make some profit.

At first, no one noticed any difference in life until Nan Chuzheng paid off the debt owed by the Chu family.

Lord Chu realized belatedly that perhaps this biological daughter he had found was not only rude but also ugly.

Maybe he has a knack for business.

In the second year that Nan Chuzheng stayed in the Chu family, the Chu family had already accumulated a fortune.

not much.

Lord Chu realized that Nan Chuzheng was not that bad.

She is beautiful, graceful, good at housekeeping, making money, and has medical skills...

In the past, the Chu family always had a preconceived notion that Nan Chuzheng, who grew up in the countryside, must be someone who didn't know the rules.

They looked down on her and mocked her wantonly.

But it turned out that Nan Chuzheng knew more than they did.

It's not Nan Chuzheng who looks like a clown, it's the Chu family members who clearly don't understand the situation but think highly of themselves.

"Father, is there anything else in the Chu family that is more important than sending me to the East Palace?"

Chu Jingyue screamed anxiously,

"Am I supposed to enter the Eastern Palace like this? I'm penniless, and if I enter the Eastern Palace and get bullied and looked down upon, it would be a slap in the face of the Chu family."

Her last name is Chu.

The Zhou family didn't help her just because her surname was Chu.

The Chu family is her maternal family, so they can’t just ignore her.

Lord Chu was furious.

"You are just a concubine of the Eastern Palace. You should figure out these things on your own."

"Comparison will only make us fall into the abyss with you."

The Chu family devoted all their efforts to supporting Chu Shiqing.

As a result, Chu Shiqing was dismissed from his position as an official just after he started working. Now he is in the hands of the Queen, and it is not known whether he can be rescued.

Chu Xinli, the second son born to Cao, was sent to Yama again, accused of assassinating a eunuch, and is now unable to prove his innocence.

If we must use the Chu family's limited savings.

It will be spent on these two sons.

Giving Chu Jingyue a concubine in the Eastern Palace is not worth it.

"Father, I won't be a concubine in the Eastern Palace forever."

Chu Jingyue was furious. When she couldn't get the money, she simply revealed her true identity.

"If my father can't give me respect, then I don't have to give the Chu family any respect after I enter the Eastern Palace."

"It's true that the Chu family is in a precarious situation right now. I may not be able to help the Chu family rise to prominence, but I can easily destroy the Chu family."

There are some things that can be prevented by gentlemen but not by villains.

Lord Chu looked at Chu Jingyue in surprise.

"You, you actually threatened me?"

Really? This daughter he raised himself, actually threatened her?

Lord Chu was furious for a moment.

"Do you know that I have always treated you like my own daughter?"

In order to make room for Chu Jingyue, Lord Chu even abandoned his own daughter.

The results of it?

His own daughter actually threatened him?

Lord Chu suspected that he had heard wrongly. For so many years, he had raised a white-eyed wolf?

Chu Jingyue sneered,

"If you loved me from the very beginning, Dad, you would have taken out all the Chu family's savings to send me to the Eastern Palace without me even asking."

It’s because I don’t love you sincerely.

That’s why I can’t reach that point.

Look at Zhou Yinyin, she didn’t say anything and didn’t even think about it that way.

The Zhou family automatically gave Zhou Yinyin half of their wealth.

This is the difference.

Lord Chu was speechless. He took a deep breath and slapped the table.

"You, shut up, you ungrateful person..."

"How has our Chu family treated you badly?!"

He yelled at Chu Jingyue, his eyes wide open, feeling indescribable anger and grievance in his heart.

Hasn't he done enough?

Hasn’t the Chu family done enough?

He raised Chu Jingyue in the hope that she would become the Crown Princess and give the Chu family a chance to rise to prominence.

Chu Jingyue couldn't do it, he was just disappointed but didn't blame her too much.

Chu Jingyue was so angry that Zhou became seriously ill, but Lord Chu never beat or scolded Chu Jingyue.

If this adopted daughter cannot meet his expectations, then at least don't retaliate against the Chu family.

But listen, what did Chu Jingyue say?

She ignored Lord Chu's sadness and regret, and said viciously:

"You forced me."

"If you still want the Chu family to be well, then send me to the East Palace in a grand manner."

"From now on, I will live in peace with the Chu family."

She turned and left.

Lord Chu was left with his hands on his hips, becoming angrier the more he thought about it.

He raised his hand and smashed everything in the front hall, including the teacups, vases, etc.

The servants of the Chu family were so scared that they hid outside the hall door, not daring to make a sound.

Someone informed Zhou about this matter.

Zhou sneered, "Who cares what he does?"

"Doesn't he really love Zhou Mingzhu?"

"We have to send Zhou Mingzhu's daughter to the Eastern Palace properly."

"You have achieved what you seek, and we should congratulate our Lord."

Zhou's hair was disheveled because she was locked in the room by Marquis Chu and could not go anywhere.

She was too lazy to even take care of her appearance.

Zhou Mingzhu won, and she sent her good daughter to the Chu family, ruining Zhou's life.

The servants looked at Zhou in horror as she laughed loudly towards the sky, and ran out in a hurry.

In the entire Chu family, is there anyone who is happy now?

All living in crazy pain.
