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

Zhou Mingzhu actually didn't want to be so cold towards Su Shizhi.

Over the years, she has tried every possible way to break the ice with Su Shizhi.

Especially after that long and dark road of exile.

Zhou Mingzhu used her warm face to get rejected by Su Shizhi countless times.

At that time, Zhou Mingzhu felt very aggrieved.

She always felt that although her body was dirty, the Su family and Su Shizhi would not be able to survive without her.

So she sacrificed herself.

Su Shizhi shouldn't be so cold to her.

This man should feel guilty when facing her.

You should kneel before her and hold her up.

Just like so many men in the imperial capital, they worship her as a goddess.

Later, during the years when I settled down completely in the northern border.

Su Shizhi has always been like that towards Zhou Mingzhu.

Especially with the birth of Chu Jingyue, Su Shizhi became increasingly cold towards Zhou Mingzhu.

Zhou Mingzhu gradually developed a desire to win against Su Shizhi.

Why doesn't he love her like other men?

If it weren't for Zhou Mingzhu, Su Shizhi would have died on the road to exile.

Zhou Mingzhu's tears fell as she thought of what she had done for Su Shizhi in Northern Xinjiang.

Her heart gradually grew cold.

Zhou Mingzhu stood up and caught up with Su Shizhi with gritted teeth.

Su Shizhi, who was standing at the gate of Zhou's house, had just handed the five hundred taels of silver in his hand to the waiter of the restaurant.

"Take it. Do you think I'll owe you a little money for the wine?"

"Look at you waiting here with your eyes wide open, you look so disgusting and annoying."

The waiter in the restaurant was counting the silver bills in his hand.

He also didn't care about Su Shizhi's sarcastic remarks towards him.

As long as he could get back the money Su Shizhi owed the restaurant, the waiter didn't care at all about his sarcastic remarks.

It was at this time that Zhou Mingzhu came out.

"Let me see what the wine costs. Why is it so expensive?"

She took two steps forward and pulled the five hundred taels of silver note back from the waiter's hand.

The waiter looked at Su Shizhi with a smile on his face.

"Master Su, this five hundred taels of wine money was given to you by the shopkeeper."

What the waiter meant was that five hundred taels of wine was not expensive at all.

At least for a fifth-rank official in the Honglu Temple, five hundred taels of wine should be affordable.

Su Shizhi's expression was extremely ugly. He raised his hand and pushed Zhou Mingzhu, then growled at her in a low voice:

"What are you doing? Can you please stop embarrassing me?"

Didn’t Zhou Mingzhu see that the waiter in the restaurant looked at them with a very mocking look?

This place is no better than the Northern Frontier, why would Zhou Mingzhu do such a thing?

Zhou Mingzhu sneered and waved away Su Shizhi's outstretched hand.

She looked at the waiter at the bottom of the stairs.

"Tell me, what kind of wine is this that costs so much money?"

In fact, Zhou Mingzhu was very angry and didn't want Su Shizhi to ask for money from her so easily.

Su Shizhi took a breath and stepped forward to grab the banknote from Zhou Mingzhu's hand.

"We'll talk about this later. Pay the money for the wine first."

He stuffed the snatched banknotes into the arms of the waiter in the restaurant.

He grabbed Zhou Mingzhu and went back to Zhou's house.

When the waiter of the restaurant saw this, his black eyes rolled around in his sockets, and he ran back to his own restaurant with the silver bills in his arms.

After returning to the restaurant, he told the owner everything that happened in front of the Zhou family's door.

The shopkeeper was smiling. In this restaurant, business was done by welcoming and seeing off customers, so how could there be any secrets?

As soon as the waiter said this, the whole restaurant knew about it.

Our newly appointed Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, Mr. Su Shizhi, the Mr. Su who has made great contributions to the country.

He actually wanted to owe the restaurant 500 taels of silver for the wine and refused to pay it.

Of course, it doesn't matter.

Mr. Su has been exiled to the northern border for so many years, so it is understandable that he is a little short of money.

However, what people talk about more is the bitter cold land in the northern border.

How did Su Shizhi survive?

Why did Su Shizhi ask Zhou Mingzhu for money so unreasonably?

Even for five hundred taels of silver, he still had to fight with Zhou Mingzhu.

Soon some people dug up what happened to the Su family during their exile.

The first person to say this was the yamen runner who escorted the Su family to the northern border.

Those gray-haired yamen runners described Zhou Mingzhu as a prostitute in a brothel.

More importantly, it is the Su family’s attitude towards Zhou Mingzhu.

In the bustling restaurant, someone rolled up his sleeves and said loudly,

"In order to survive, the Su family treated the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital at the time as a prostitute for others to play with at will."

"We even clearly marked the price on the way to exile. As long as we can find medicine and food for the Su family and ensure that they can reach the northern border safely."

"Anyone can spend a night with the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital."

This person's words made the already bustling restaurant even more lively.

Someone asked in a loud voice,

"Are you kidding me? Zhou Mingzhu is so pitiful. Are the people in the Su family so shameless?"

"What I said is true. The bailiff who was in charge of escorting me told me this himself."

Amid the crowd's cheers, what was originally a curious past event turned into a moral inquiry into the Su family.

"But how could the Su family do this?"

"Now Lord Su has been appointed the fifth-rank official of the Honglu Temple, and it turns out that he obtained this position by selling his wife's body."

Rumors are a double-edged sword.

At that time, the people in the imperial capital praised Su Shizhi's achievements so highly.

Now, the people in the imperial capital are shocked by Su Shizhi's shamelessness.

As a man, how could he watch his wife being treated like this by the Su family?

With so many rumors spreading, why has Su Shizhi never said anything?

There is not even a single rumor in the world that he dotes on his wife.

It is true that he made great contributions to the Great Sheng Dynasty, but he also let his wife down.

To this day, Mr. Su is still taking money from his wife.

Everyone in the restaurant felt confused for a moment and didn't know how to scold Su Shizhi.

At this moment, in the box, Su Shujing was drinking and eating meat with a group of powerful and wealthy children.

I also heard the discussion about the Su family downstairs.

She stood up in a rage, rushed down, and punched the scholar who was talking in the middle.

"How dare you say bad things about our Su family?"

The scholar, who was punched for no apparent reason, was arguing with the people in the restaurant.

All he said were good things about Mr. Su.

He used his eloquence to defend Su Shizhi, proving that Su Shizhi was not a person who used women's bodies to survive.

As a result, Su Shujing rushed down and punched and kicked the scholar, who was stunned.
