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

Lord Chu really wanted to find Zhou Mingzhu.

To Lord Chu, Zhou Mingzhu was more than just the love he couldn't have in his youth.

It is also his only lifeline now.

No matter how Zhou Mingzhu lives now, it is better than the Chu family.

There is one thing that Zhou said that is right.

That is, the reason why Zhou Mingzhu returned to the imperial capital was because her husband Su Shizhi had made a contribution.

After the Su family was exiled to the bitter cold frontier, they have been living a miserable life there.

Over the years, Zhou Mingzhu has been secretly sending letters to Lord Chu.

Lord Chu was very helpful to Zhou Mingzhu and gave her money and gifts many times.

He and the Zhou family members were constantly negotiating in the imperial capital, trying to bring Zhou Mingzhu back from exile.

As a result, Su Shizhi unexpectedly reached a trade cooperation agreement with the people from Mobei.

He put an end to the Mobei people's desire to stir up trouble.

Therefore, a year ago, Chu Jingyue made a suggestion to the Crown Prince, and the Queen took the initiative and asked Emperor Bai Jing for help.

Emperor Bai Jing wiped out the Su family's guilt.

Let the Su family return to the imperial capital.

Lord Chu believed that he also had a contribution to the Su family's return so quickly.

So he went to find Zhou Mingzhu at this time. It was impossible for Zhou Mingzhu to watch the Chu family fall into dire straits and not lend a hand to help him.

Zhou laughed at the naivety of Lord Chu. She let her hair down and pointed at Lord Chu and laughed.

"Go ahead, go ahead, I wish you good luck."

Lord Chu hurried back to his room. He glanced at Zhou and cursed.

"madman."

He no longer paid any attention to Zhou.

He returned to his room and opened the box, trying to find the indigo blue suit that had looked the most handsome and good-looking when he was young.

As a result, when Lord Chu looked inside, he found that the box was empty.

He held back the sweet taste in his throat and roared,

"Where are my clothes? Where did you put all my clothes?"

He wanted to wear his best clothes and meet the woman he loved most.

Lord Chu turned around and wanted to ask the servant who served him for clarification.

As a result, all the servants who had served him in the yard disappeared.

Lord Chu seemed to realize something, and he hurriedly ran to look through the box where he had put his personal contract.

As a result, only two or three thin pieces of indentures were left in the box.

Lord Chu's eyes turned black, and he stumbled into Zhou's house.

"What about the servants in my yard? Did you sell them all?"

"Zhou, I've already told you that you can't sell servants."

"My Chu family will rise one day sooner or later. If others see that my Chu family doesn't even have a servant, where will our Chu family's face be put?"

Zhou sneered, "What do the servants in your yard have to do with me?"

"Which one of them didn't help you sell my daughter? They are all your confidants."

"Weren't they covering for you when you and Zhou Mingzhu were secretly planning to go to Chencang?"

In the Chu family, Lord Chu could rest assured to leave all matters of the Chu family, big and small, to Zhou.

But the people in his yard have always been the confidants of Marquis Chu.

He never allowed Zhou to place people among his people.

All of Lord Chu's confidants knew that Lord Chu had been giving money and gifts to Zhou Mingzhu for many years.

And he raised Zhou Mingzhu's daughter as the legitimate daughter of the Chu family.

So Zhou couldn't touch anyone in Marquis Chu's courtyard at all.

"Master, why don't you think carefully about where all your servants have been during this period of time?"

"The place where you keep their bonds is known only to you and them."

Lord Chu's face turned pale.

Although he didn't want to admit it, that was the fact.

Those servants took advantage of his illness and unconsciousness to steal his indenture.

Not only that, they also stole everything in Lord Chu's room that could be pawned for some money.

These are the people whom he regards as loyal servants.

Lord Chu's vision went dark. He took two steps back and stumbled out of Zhou's room.

And behind him, Zhou's crazy laughter was heard.

After she finished laughing, she turned around with a crazy look on her face and said to the maid who was serving her,

"You see, it's right for me to live a good life."

"If I hadn't survived, I wouldn't have seen what happened to this man."

The girls lowered their heads and dared not answer.

Lord Chu came to the Zhou family, took out some change, and asked the Zhou family's servants to call Zhou Mingzhu for him.

The servant of the Zhou family looked at the handful of silver in his hand and asked Lord Chu to wait in the alley behind the Zhou family's back door.

Lord Chu felt aggrieved. In his entire life, he had never gone to someone else's back door to wait for someone.

But now the situation is stronger than people, and Lord Chu has nothing left.

He could only do what the Zhou family's servants said in a frustrated manner.

Standing in that dark alley, he heard the laughter coming from the not-so-high walls of the Chu family.

It is a big deal that someone from the Su family has returned after making a contribution.

In addition, Chu Jingyue was also brought back to the Zhou family by Zhou Mingzhu.

Today, the Zhou family seems to be prospering again.

Then laughter was heard and the small door to the backyard was opened.

Zhou Mingzhu, with a smile as beautiful as a flower, walked out from inside.

"I was wondering who was looking for me so late at night. It turned out to be the eldest brother of the Chu family."

Zhou Mingzhu stood on a few steps high and did not move forward.

For no reason, she felt arrogant and condescending.

"Brother Chu, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Her distant attitude made Lord Chu feel heartbroken.

"Mingzhu, it's great to have you back. It's worth all the time I've spent trying to get you back."

Lord Chu stepped forward and reached out to shake Zhou Mingzhu's hand.

Zhou Mingzhu waved her long sleeves and opened Lord Chu's hand.

There was an obvious look of disgust on her face.

"Brother Chu, what are you doing?"

"Just say whatever you want to say. It's been years since we last met. Brother Chu, why are you becoming more and more clueless?"

Lord Chu was choked by Zhou Mingzhu's attitude, and there was a look of obvious hurt on his old face.

"Mingzhu, why have you changed?"

There was clearly no such estrangement between him and Zhou Mingzhu.

Over the years, Lord Chu and Zhou Mingzhu have been in contact.

In the letter, he and Zhou Mingzhu spoke in affectionate tones.

She and he are a pair of lovers who cannot be together.

What's more, the night before Zhou Mingzhu went to the place of exile, she did all the things that only a couple did with him.

She said that he should have been his wife and should not have suffered such an unexpected disaster.

She said that the only person she loved in her heart was Duke Chu.

Over the years, Zhou Mingzhu has been expressing her longing for Lord Chu in every letter.

Lord Chu sent her money and gifts, but she said in a letter that this was not what she wanted.

In her life, she only wanted to return to the imperial capital before she died and become his woman.

Therefore, Zhou Mingzhu should not have such an attitude towards Lord Chu.
