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

Su Shizhi looked at Zhou Mingzhu with a cold expression.

"The house the government has granted me will be given to me soon. You and your children can stay here."

After saying this, Su Shizhi no longer cared about the expressions of the Zhou family members, turned around and left the front hall.

Zhou Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed with a flattering smile on her face.

"Husband, what are you doing?"

Seeing Su Shizhi like this, for some reason, Zhou Mingzhu was not surprised at all.

Maybe she was tired of Su Shizhi's indifference towards her over the years.

She had a vague premonition in her heart that Su Shizhi would abandon her sooner or later.

But how to say it, Zhou Mingzhu was very unwilling.

She is a smart person.

When she was arranged to marry her elder sister Zhou, she actually had the opportunity to refuse the Su family's marriage.

With her looks, she could easily choose another powerful family and marry back into one.

But Su Shizhi was so outstanding back then.

Even someone like Zhou Mingzhu couldn't help but secretly fall in love with him.

When Zhou was seeking a replacement, Zhou Mingzhu actually had the opportunity to cry out for help and prevent Zhou's plan from succeeding.

But she didn't.

She was clearly half-hearted in letting Zhou take her place in the bridal sedan.

Then, when faced with the marriage with the Su family, Zhou Mingzhu nodded and agreed to marry Su Shizhi in place of her sister.

At that time, Zhou Mingzhu was fighting for Su Shizhi's future.

However, in this gambling-like bet, who can say that she didn't harbor girlish thoughts and secretly marry the person she loved?

However, all of Zhou Mingzhu's fantasies about Su Shizhi ended on the road of exile.

Later in exile, Zhou Mingzhu finally figured it out.

She put away her feelings for Su Shizhi, so all that was left was the bet on Su Shizhi's future.

However, what Su Shizhi was planning was too big.

The reason why the Su family was exiled at that time was because Su Shizhi's father wrote a poem.

The poem was ambiguous and criticized the emperor at that time, urging him to abdicate and give the throne to a capable person.

To put it nicely, this poem is about Su Shizhi's father's unyielding pride, his fearlessness of power, his courage to fight against power, and his criticism of current affairs.

To put it bluntly, it is not an exaggeration to accuse the Su family of treason.

Therefore, the exile of the entire Su family actually showed that His Majesty at that time was kind-hearted.

But this exile almost represents several generations of the entire Su family. They can only settle in the place of exile and have no chance of turning things around.

In this situation, if Su Shizhi wanted to bring the entire Su family back from exile.

He must play a big game.

At least he has to make a great contribution.

So for so many years, in the exile, Su Shizhi has been taking advantage of Zhou Mingzhu's beauty and her reputation as the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital.

Help him win over those important figures in the northern border.

Zhou Mingzhu also suffered before.

But if she didn't agree with Su Shizhi, she would also die in the Northern Frontier.

During the past decade or so in Northern Xinjiang, at least Zhou Mingzhu and Su Shizhi reached a consensus.

They have a common goal.

Zhou Mingzhu knew that a scholar like Su Shizhi could not survive in such a bitter and cold place as the exile.

It can be said that Su Shizhi needs her.

Zhou Mingzhu held on for a breath, she also needed Su Shizhi.

Based on this understanding, Zhou Mingzhu has always been very sure that Su Shizhi cannot live without her.

Even though Su Shizhi's heart was filled with disgust and disdain for Zhou Mingzhu.

It is impossible for Su Shizhi to abandon Zhou Mingzhu.

But today, Su Shizhi actually said such words to Zhou Mingzhu.

Does that mean that the silver and house awarded by Emperor Bai Jing have come down, but Zhou Mingzhu has nothing to do with it?

Su Shizhi kept walking in front, ignoring Zhou Mingzhu who was following behind with a fawning smile on her face.

Zhou Mingzhu followed for a while and then the smile on her face disappeared.

With a stern face, she rushed forward two steps and stood in front of Su Shizhi.

"Master, are you going to kill the donkey after it has done its work?"

Su Shizhi stood where he was, looking at Zhou Mingzhu coldly.

At this time, the two of them had absolutely no affection between them that a couple in need should have.

There was a subtle and unspeakable hatred in the glances between the two people.

Zhou Mingzhu sneered, "Master, don't forget how you survived in the Northern Frontier."

“Now the people of the Imperial Capital City only spread my reputation, but am I the only one in the entire Su family who is a whore?”

Zhou Mingzhu had just finished speaking.

Su Shizhi raised his hand and slapped Zhou Mingzhu in the face.

He asked in a cold voice:

"What do you want to say? I'm warning you, this is the imperial capital, not the open-minded northern border."

"The Su family has a daughter who entered the Eastern Palace. If you don't want to lose everything, just shut up."

Facing Zhou Mingzhu's cold gaze, Su Shizhi trembled all over.

He was not afraid of Zhou Mingzhu talking nonsense.

He was angry, but also felt fear and anxiety about the days of survival in the northern border.

Feelings of embarrassment and humiliation lingered in Su Shizhi's heart.

Zhou Mingzhu raised her hands to cover her face, and then she slapped Su Shizhi in the face with her backhand.

At this moment, Zhou Mingzhu no longer had the smile on her face that she had just had when she was following Su Shizhi.

"For so many years you've eaten my food, drank my drinks, and used my things. Now that you've returned to the imperial capital and become successful, you want to abandon me? You want beauty."

After being slapped, Su Shizhi lowered his head and said nothing.

Zhou Mingzhu walked forward with a smile on her face and touched Su Shizhi's face.

"Husband, you are really something. How can there be any overnight hatred between husband and wife?"

"Isn't it good for us to do this now? You become an official, and the entire Su family returns to the imperial capital."

"Once the money and house awarded by His Majesty arrive, we won't have to live in the Zhou family anymore, right?"

Su Shizhi tilted his head and avoided Zhou Mingzhu's hand.

He turned and left silently, with gloom in his eyes.

Back in the northern border, the way he and Zhou Mingzhu got along was like two sick trees, relying on and entangled with each other.

But now that he has returned to the imperial capital, Su Shizhi wants to forget everything that happened in the northern border.

The first thing is to leave behind Zhou Mingzhu and the children she gave birth to.

Otherwise Zhou Mingzhu would ruin him.

Just like what Su Shujing is doing now, he has completely destroyed the reputation he has worked so hard to build up over the years.

Just as Su Shizhi turned around and entered his own yard.

The murderous intent in Su Shizhi's eyes flashed across his face.

He wanted to get rid of Zhou Mingzhu, he wanted to kill Zhou Mingzhu.

But at the same time, Su Shizhi felt very powerless.

He has no money now.

All the money he used was borrowed from the Zhou family.

If he wanted to kill Zhou Mingzhu and remove this lifelong stain, he would have to wait for the reward from Emperor Bai Jing.

But when will His Majesty's reward come down? Su Shizhi can no longer wait.

So the next day, Su Shizhi went to Nanzhai again.
