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

Chapter 137 You are digging up the roots of our Chu family

Lord Chu had no idea what was happening in his family.

He was dragged directly into the palace gate by the servants of the Nan family and thrown into the East Palace.

The prince was not at home. Chu Jingyue heard the news and hurried over.

Before Lord Chu could say anything, Chu Jingyue started to blame him.

"You are so brave! Do you know where this is? This is the East Palace."

"If there is anything you can't tell me, please send someone to tell me. If I have time, I will naturally come back to the Chu family to find you."

As she spoke, the irritation and disgust on Chu Jingyue's face were very obvious.

Lord Chu took a deep breath.

"How many times have I sent you messages during this period? But have you ever replied to me with even a single word?"

Because Chu Jingyue took away all the Chu family's assets, Lord Chu was short of money.

He sold the belongings in his home that Chu Jingyue could not move, and only then did he raise some money to manage the palace guards.

But he made arrangements many times, and the palace guards also passed the message to the East Palace many times.

There was no response from Chu Jingyue at all.

"What are you in such a hurry for?"

Chu Jingyue looked at Lord Chu with resentment.

"Do you know how difficult it is to gain a foothold and survive in this East Palace?"

"I don't even expect that your Chu family can help me speak to the prince and get him to come to my room and sit for a while."

"I just want you to stop embarrassing me and causing me less trouble. Can't you even do that?"

Lord Chu was speechless after hearing what Chu Jingyue said.

He pointed at Chu Jingyue, wondering what kind of ungrateful person he had raised after raising her for so many years.

"No one is stopping you from entering the East Palace, but what you are taking away is the foundation of the Chu family."

"You have to return that money to the Chu family."

Chu Jingyue looked Lord Chu up and down and said with a sneer,

"I thought you went to great lengths to get into the East Palace today because you wanted to see if I was doing well in this palace."

"It turns out you're here for the money too."

A sarcastic smile appeared on her face.

It seemed as if he was satirizing Lord Chu's prioritization of profit and the Chu family's fickleness.

"Go out and look at any family that has a daughter. Don't their parents spend all their savings on dowry?"

In the East Palace, Lord Chu was scolded by Chu Jingyue, pointing at his nose.

He was helpless and had no words to say.

"Jingyue, you shouldn't do this. You're cutting off the roots of our Chu family!"

"I don't care about roots or not. You came into the East Palace today and asked me for money. I only have one thing to say: No!"

Chu Jingyue turned around angrily,

"Leave here quickly, otherwise I will be too embarrassed to speak when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes back and asks about it."

What made her angry was that it was already so difficult for her to survive in the East Palace.

Everything needs to be taken care of and money is needed everywhere.

But the Chu family still couldn't understand her and kept talking to her about money all the time.

Before this, Lord Chu had repeatedly asked the Imperial Guards to use their connections to get Chu Jingyue to return the Chu family's money.

Now many people in the palace know that Chu Jingyue took the Chu family's money and ran into the East Palace.

Chu Jingyue even heard palace maids talking about her in private more than once.

She said that her family had no money at all, and that she was only able to become a concubine in the Eastern Palace because she slept with the prince.

Because of this matter, Chu Jingyue often blamed Lord Chu for causing trouble for her.

She didn't even go to ask Lord Chu for questioning, but Lord Chu now ran into the East Palace instead.

I don’t know how he got in when the palace was so heavily guarded.

Just wait and see, in a few days, the entire palace will know that Chu Jingyue’s father had actually chased into the East Palace in pursuit of Chu Jingyue’s dowry.

Ridiculous or not?

Lord Chu had clearly said in front of her that she was his most beloved daughter.

As a result, he was reluctant to spend even such a small amount of money.

Would she ignore the Chu family now that she has been favored by the prince?

As soon as Lord Chu was driven away, Zhou Yinyin came over.

She wore an eight-treasure hairpin on her head, and her figure was graceful. She smiled from a distance and said:

"Sister, I heard that your father, Master Chu, is here?"

"Sister, I haven't seen Master Chu for a long time. I was just about to come over to say hello to him. Is he gone?"

Seeing Zhou Yinyin's comfortable appearance now, Chu Jingyue wanted to go up and tear Zhou Yinyin's face off.

Zhou Yinyin actually said this on purpose.

In the past, the Zhou family was just a vassal of the Chu family, a family that could not be any smaller in the imperial capital.

If the Zhou family hadn't attached themselves to the Marquis's family, would they have the wealth and prosperity they have today?

Even so, Zhou Yingying brought half of the Zhou family's wealth into the Eastern Palace, but the money was still not enough.

The reason why she could dress so elegantly was all thanks to the reward from the prince.

In the East Palace, the prince either stayed at Bai Luoluo's place or at Zhou Yinyin's room every night.

Ever since Bai Luoluo went out and got his head broken, the prince rarely visited Bai Luoluo.

In comparison, the place the prince actually goes to more often is Zhou Yinyin's place.

Everyone in the palace will change with the wind.

Although the prince still pretended that Bai Luoluo was his true love.

But it's no use talking about it.

Bai Luoluo still has no status.

The queen seemed to have deliberately forgotten this matter.

Bai Luoluo was not even given the title of concubine in the Eastern Palace.

Recently, the prince has not mentioned to the queen about appointing Bai Luoluo as the prince's concubine.

So now in the Eastern Palace, the two concubines have the highest status.

There is a trick to this. Whoever's room the prince visits the most at night will be the first to give birth to the prince's offspring.

The one who gives birth to the crown prince first will definitely rise to higher status the fastest.

There is no doubt that she will be the Crown Prince's Consort or the Concubine, and she can't escape it.

A formal competitive relationship was formed between Chu Jingyue and Zhou Yinyin.

She rolled her eyes at Zhou Yinyin.

"He left a long time ago. He doesn't even want to see you."

"I don't know who it was, but a year or two ago, he was still trying to get close to our Chu family, hoping that we could help find her a good family."

"Now you're acting so high and mighty. Bah, who are you trying to show off to?"

Chu Jingyue was clearly mocking Zhou Yinyin.

In the past, Zhou Yinyin was just her dog.

Now that she has slept with the prince for a few more nights, she acts like a big shot. Chu Jingyue feels sick when she sees her.

The smile on Zhou Yinyin's face disappeared, and she looked at Chu Jingyue with her lips pursed and silent.

Now, in the Eastern Palace, she is the one who has the greatest hope of becoming pregnant with the prince's child early.

She no longer had to follow behind Chu Jingyue like she did before, trying to please her like a careful maid.

"You can seduce the Crown Prince temporarily with your seductive tricks, but can you seduce him forever?"

Chu Jingyue took two steps forward and circled around Zhou Yinyin.

"Don't forget, the Crown Prince is a man who values friendship and loyalty. He has no feelings for you at all."

"But I'm different. The first person the prince liked was me. When he gets tired of you, he'll naturally remember my kindness."

Seeing Chu Jingyue turn around and leave, Zhou Yinyin took a deep breath.

There will never be such a day!

Zhou Yinyin swore that she would never be inferior to Chu Jingyue again in her life.
