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

"Sister-in-law, you won't think too much. Now that Jingyue is the only one left in our Zhou family, we should stick together."

In the front hall of the Chu family, Zhou Mingzhu, a beautiful and charming girl dressed in a pastel-colored dress, spoke softly to Mrs. Zhou, whose face was covered with tears.

She has a well-proportioned figure, but for some reason, her every move carries a hint of worldly elegance.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhou had been persuaded, Zhou Mingzhu looked at Chu Jingyue again.

There was a shrewd look in Zhou Mingzhu's eyes, with a thin layer of tears.

She opened her arms towards Chu Jingyue and said, "Child, please let me see you."

Chu Jingyue frowned slightly and took two steps towards Zhou Mingzhu with pride.

She didn't have much feelings for Zhou Mingzhu, but since this woman had just appeared, she stopped the Zhou family from making trouble.

Chu Jingyue felt that Zhou Mingzhu was quite useful and had brains.

A woman who can send her daughter back to the imperial capital to enjoy wealth and glory in desperate situation must be smart.

"Jingyue, mother finally sees you."

Zhou Mingzhu showed her true feelings and held Chu Jingyue's hand.

She was exiled to a cold and bitter place for many years, but her face was well-maintained.

Even cardamom was applied to the hands.

Chu Jingyue also appeared quite happy, looking like a touching filial daughter who had finally reunited with her biological mother.

The sincere love between the mother and daughter was quite glaring in Mrs. Zhou's eyes.

She stood up and was about to make a scene, but Zhou Zhengchang came over and stopped her in time.

"Alright, alright, our family is finally reunited. Come on, Jingyue, come back to the Zhou family with us."

"In the future, our family will work together to achieve a better future."

These words made Chu Jingyue want to sneer.

How did the Zhou family try to steal her money, how did they send Zhou Yinyin to the Eastern Palace, and how did they treat her coldly?

Chu Jingyue remembered it all clearly.

She refused to go to Zhou's house, but Zhou Mingzhu reached out and pinched her wrist.

"My child, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places, but to go higher, you need a lot of people pushing you from behind."

Zhou Mingzhu hinted at Chu Jingyue.

The Chu family is no longer viable.

During the period when Zhou Yinyin entered the Eastern Palace and was favored, the Zhou family amassed wealth at an exaggerated speed.

They had already earned back half of the fortune that they had given as dowry to Zhou Yinyin.

There are many more.

Compared with the Chu family, the Zhou family uses a lot more than the Chu family.

Chu Jingyue calmed down and walked out of the front hall with Zhou Yinyin.

The haggard and skinny Marquis Chu stepped forward tremblingly.

He looked at Zhou Mingzhu with excitement.

"Mingzhu, you're back..."

Zhou Mingzhu looked up and down at the gray-haired, very old Marquis Chu, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

But she still smiled falsely:

"Yes, Brother Chu, I'm back."

"Thank you for taking care of my daughter all these years. Mingzhu would like to express her gratitude."

There was a look of fascination in Lord Chu's eyes.

He took two steps forward, "Pearl..."

"I have some things to do when I take Jingyue back to the Zhou family, so I won't talk much."

She reached out and pushed Lord Chu away.

Without using any strength at all, he pushed the powerless Lord Chu to the ground.

Lord Chu looked up at Zhou Mingzhu, still not coming to his senses.

Zhou Mingzhu rolled her eyes and left with Chu Jingyue.

"Pearl, Pearl!"

Lord Chu couldn't help but stagger to his feet and wanted to chase Zhou Mingzhu.

She was his beloved in his youth. How painful it was for them to be unable to love each other, and how unwilling Lord Chu is to accept this now.

A laugh rang out.

It made Lord Chu stop.

He turned around and saw the skinny Zhou with disheveled hair standing in the round archway.

There was sarcasm in her eyes. Seeing Lord Chu looking at her, Zhou said,

"It's really ironic. Look at you. You worked so hard to raise her daughter for her, and now she just came back and doesn't even want to say a word to you."

Zhou was also old. When she heard that Zhou Mingzhu had returned, she didn't even wash up, but came out to watch the fun with her gray hair.

Sure enough, she saw Lord Chu looking so lost.

Lord Chu frowned and blamed Zhou.

"If it weren't for you, Mingzhu and I would have been together today."

He fell in love with Zhou Mingzhu at first sight and the person he wanted to marry was also Zhou Mingzhu.

It’s all because of Zhou that he and Zhou Mingzhu can’t be together.

Zhou scoffed, "What kind of good person do you think Zhou Mingzhu is?"

"After all these years, how come you men are still kept in the dark by her?"

Hehehe.

No one can understand Zhou Mingzhu.

Only Zhou knew the evil that was ingrained in her.

Zhou Mingzhu has been like this since she was a child. She pretends to be well-behaved and sensible in front of others, but bullies Zhou behind their backs.

Zhou had explained, and had explained since childhood, that Zhou Mingzhu was not a good person.

What Zhou received in response was distrust and blame.

Everyone around said that Zhou was jealous of her younger sister, so she spoke ill of her younger sister everywhere.

They felt that Zhou was vicious and wanted to destroy the beautiful, generous, simple and lovely Zhou Mingzhu.

They never knew that Zhou Mingzhu had two different faces.

Even the engagement between Zhou Mingzhu and Marquis Chu after she came of age was actually planned by Zhou Mingzhu.

But Zhou was different. She had plotted against Zhou Mingzhu once in her life.

The only time.

Since Zhou entered the Chu family, she has been doing her best to take care of the Chu family every day.

But Lord Chu treated her coldly, and the Zhou family blamed her.

Because of Zhou's only scheming, everyone called her a vicious and scheming person.

"Master, do you really believe what Zhou Mingzhu told you, that she couldn't survive in exile and just didn't want Chu Jingyue to suffer with her, so she asked you to find a solution?"

"Hahahaha, look at her, she looks like she can't survive."

Zhou reminded Lord Chu that Zhou Mingzhu was well-dressed and had a well-maintained appearance.

People from bitter cold places shouldn't look like this.

Lord Chu yelled at Zhou, "Shut up."

"Why should I shut up? You just refuse to admit that you were used by Zhou Mingzhu."

There was a look of joy in Zhou's eyes.

"Look, look, she used you to pave the way for her daughter, and what did you get in the end?"

"Your own daughter now hates you to the core. This is your retribution, hahahaha."

Lord Chu rushed forward and slapped Zhou hard in the face.

He coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I told you to stop talking, stop talking."

"Mingzhu is not the person you said."

He reached out and grabbed Zhou's neck.

But Zhou had already given up. She no longer loved this man. She hated him now and wished that Lord Chu and Zhou Mingzhu would die together.

Zhou fought back against Lord Chu.

"She is not what I said. Then go find her and ask her to help our Chu family."

"The man Zhou Mingzhu married had made great contributions on the frontier. She wouldn't just leave you, her old love, in trouble."
