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

The Wang family solved the problem of the betrothal gifts and left the palace.

Madam Wang Er curled her lips and said, "When the Crown Prince married our Lanzhi, he didn't give such a large betrothal gift."

It can be seen that there are still some things in Queen Wang’s private treasury, but Queen Wang just hides them too deeply on weekdays.

Madam Wang rolled her eyes.

"Even though we've given your family a Crown Princess, it still can't satisfy your appetite."

She still holds a grudge against Wang Baobao for marrying Su Shujing. Madam Wang II cried poor and refused to pay a penny for the betrothal gift.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang Da and Mrs. Wang Er were about to quarrel, the upset Mrs. Wang scolded:

"Are you done yet?"

"What time is it now? Are you still fighting among yourselves?"

The Wang family members walked out of the palace and saw many dignitaries entering the palace.

Either you pay homage to this lady or you pay homage to that lady.

But when they saw people from the Wang family, none of them went up to talk to them.

Some unmarried girls were being brought by their mothers to enter the palace.

When they saw the Wang family members passing by, the ladies all turned their unmarried daughters away.

They were afraid that their girl would be noticed by the Wang family and her innocence would be ruined by Wang Baobao.

Old Lady Wang held her anger all the way. She originally thought that after Wang Lanzhi entered the Eastern Palace, the Wang family's status and position would be elevated to a new level.

As a result, since the incident between Wang Baobao and Su Shujing, the whole city was in an uproar.

Not only did the Wang family's status not improve, it became even worse than before.

Old Madam Wang became increasingly displeased with Su Shujing.

With a stern face, she ordered the property given by the Queen to be used as Su Shujing's betrothal gift.

Of course, for the sake of the Wang family's face, the Wang family did not tell Zhou Mingzhu and Su Shujing that these betrothal gifts were lent to them by Queen Wang.

You still have to pay it back later.

The Wang family believed that in the imperial capital, no family would be greedy for the betrothal gifts when marrying off their daughter.

At Zhou's house, Zhou Mingzhu looked at the betrothal gift list with a smug look on her face and said to Su Shujing,

"We still have to hold steady. It's not that the Wang family doesn't have money, it's that they're unwilling to pay."

Su Shujing nodded happily, looking at the betrothal gift list, which was many times longer than the one that Butler Wang had brought out when they were at the Wang family.

It turns out this is what the wealthy people in the imperial capital call "Ten Miles of Red Makeup".

"Mother, it turns out I'm too shortsighted."

Su Shujing couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.

Zhou Mingzhu took the list of betrothal gifts, picked up a pen and made some marks on it, picking out half of them.

"I'll keep half to support you in the future, and you can divide the other half into your dowry."

When Su Shujing saw this, she found out that her mother had withheld half of her dowry.

She was not very happy in her heart.

Su Shujing was about to talk to Zhou Mingzhu, but saw Su Shizhi, who had not returned for a few days, returned home angrily.

Zhou Mingzhu hurriedly stood up from her chair and was about to talk to Su Shizhi about the marriage between Su Shujing and Wang Baobao.

Su Shizhi slapped Su Shujing in the face.

Zhou Mingzhu hurriedly supported the shaky Su Shujing, and she said to Su Shizhi angrily,

"What are you doing? Don't you know Shujing is pregnant?"

"If this child is gone, who knows whether the Wang family will recognize this marriage."

Su Shizhi pointed at the shameless Su Shujing,

"How could the Wang family deny this? Regardless of whether she's pregnant with this bastard or not, the Wang family will marry her."

"After all, this is His Majesty's decree."

When Zhou Mingzhu heard this, she felt relieved.

She let go of Su Shujing and said to Su Shizhi in a gentle tone,

"You haven't been home for a few days, and as soon as you come back you beat the child. What kind of trouble did you get into outside?"

She knew that what people outside said was very unpleasant.

But when they were in the northern border, they endured more harsh words and deeper humiliation.

Su Shizhi should have been used to it long ago.

However, when Su Shizhi returned to the imperial capital, he was not as strong as Zhou Mingzhu.

He seemed to find it difficult to accept the harsh words from outside.

Every time he came back, he reeked of alcohol.

Su Shizhi was immersed in a life of drunkenness and dreams, and for a while, he didn't want to face the rumors in the imperial capital.

Su Shizhi looked at Zhou Mingzhu coldly.

"The reward and house that His Majesty originally gave me are about to be paid."

"But His Majesty sent someone to tell me that he exchanged all my rewards and houses for the imperial decree granting the marriage between Su Shujing and Wang Baobao."

"Hello, my bright future has been traded for this."

Su Shujing marrying Wang Baobao is of no use to Su Shizhi.

Because Wang Baobao is just a good-for-nothing.

Su Shizhi stayed in a restaurant outside for two days.

After hearing this, he couldn't help but ran back to Zhou's house.

He wished he could strangle Zhou Mingzhu and Su Shujing, mother and daughter, to death.

Zhou Mingzhu was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Shujing again.

To be honest, she felt that the reward exchange was a bit unfair.

Su Shujing is just a married daughter. No matter how well she marries, it is not as real as Su Shizhi's mansion.

Not only Su Shizhi was tired of living in the Zhou family, but Zhou Mingzhu was also tired of living there.

She wanted a big house, she wanted a big house like the Chu family's.

Su Shujing didn't care. She covered her face with her hands.

"Isn't this nice?"

"Dad is always asking when his reward will come."

"Now that this reward has been given, Father can finally put his mind at ease."

When Su Shizhi heard this, he raised his hand, wishing he could slap Su Shujing again.

"Mr. Su."

A timid voice sounded, and everyone in the hall turned around to look at the

I saw a delicate woman dressed in white standing by the door.

"Mr. Su, please don't be angry."

Xu Jiaoxue walked in, twisting her waist.

Just as she walked to Su Shizhi's side, she seemed to be tripped by something, fell directly and fell into Su Shizhi's arms.

"Mr. Su, I'm sorry..."

With tears in her eyes, Xu Jiaoxue leaned directly into Su Shizhi's arms, as if she couldn't stand up straight.

Su Shizhi didn't know if it was intentional, but he never let go of Xu Jiaoxue.

Zhou Mingzhu watched this scene coldly.

"I thought you had something important to do and didn't come back for a few days, but it turns out you had a mistress outside."

Xu Jiaoxue looked at Su Shizhi with a good look on her face.

"I didn't, I didn't mean that, Mr. Su..."

Su Shizhi patted Xu Jiaoxue's back soothingly and looked at Zhou Mingzhu with extremely cold eyes.

Zhou Mingzhu said coldly:

"Now it seems that the reward given by His Majesty is just right. The Su family will live in my mother's house for the rest of their lives."

"The Zhou family's house is too small to accommodate so many of Mr.'s confidantes."
