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

Zhou Zhenchang closed the door of Zhou's house and just turned around.

Butler Zhou came to report in a panic.

"Master, the lady is dead."

Zhou Zhenchang didn't understand what he was saying at first, but he paused.

"what?"

"what?"

Didn't he just hit his forehead against the corner of the table? How could he die?

When Zhou Mingzhu pushed Luo Mengxi, everyone only saw Luo Mengxi falling to the ground, and she was clearly still breathing.

Butler Zhou said in embarrassment,

"After the lady was carried back to her room, she began to convulse all over and passed away not long after."

Time just passes in a moment.

Zhou Zhenchang hurried back to his room. When he rushed in, he saw Luo Mengxi's dead body.

"lady!"

He suddenly felt sad, and his mind flashed through all the times Luo Mengxi had been with him over the years.

"Oh my God, what sin have I committed? First I lost my daughter, then I lost my wife. What happened to me?"

But no matter how much Zhou Zhengchang couldn't accept it, Luo Mengxi was already dead.

Later, the Luo family members who heard the news came to the Zhou family and complained and smashed things.

Maybe Luo Mengxi herself didn't expect that she died after being pushed by Zhou Mingzhu.

"We have reported this to the Jingzhao Prefecture. Your Zhou family is a den of wolves and tigers. We, the Luo family, will never reconcile with you!"

The Zhou family had no peace, and the Wang family was in chaos as well.

Zhou Mingzhu was about to go find Su Shizhi in a daze, but she turned around and walked to the back door of the Chu family.

"Our master is too ill to see anyone."

An old servant of the Chu family opened the back door and looked at Zhou Mingzhu outside.

The Chu family is now in ruins, with weeds growing everywhere.

The old servant squinted his eyes and looked at Zhou Mingzhu.

"Oh, I recognize you. Aren't you the Madam Su who had a fling with our Marquis?"

When the Su family was convicted, Zhou Mingzhu sought out Marquis Chu in order to leave a seed for returning to the imperial capital.

And take the initiative to dedicate yourself.

The place where he sacrificed himself was the Chu family. The one who opened the door for Zhou Mingzhu in the middle of the night was the old servant of the Chu family.

Seeing Zhou Mingzhu, the old servant couldn't help but sigh,

"I never thought you could come back from Northern Xinjiang."

Most people were exiled to the northern border, where they settled and could never return.

Anyone who can return from the northern border must have gone through hardships that ordinary people cannot endure.

Zhou Mingzhu burst into tears.

"Let me see Lord Chu."

The old servant shook his head, "The master doesn't want to see you."

"He said he had already severed all ties with you."

Zhou Mingzhu walked in regardless, "I know he won't. Over the years, he's the only one who has continued to send me money for decades."

Some of the rich young men in the imperial capital that Zhou Mingzhu hooked up with never sent any money to her.

Some people gradually forgot about Zhou Mingzhu after sending her the letter for a few years.

Except for Lord Chu.

He really loved her, and was even willing to abandon his own daughter for her.

But as soon as Zhou Mingzhu came back, she felt that she would soon become the boss.

The first person she abandoned was Lord Chu.

"Let me see him. I have nowhere else to go. He's all I have left now."

Zhou Mingzhu ignored the old servant's obstruction and rushed all the way to the courtyard of Lord Chu.

Lord Chu is already terminally ill.

There was no one to serve him, and the entire Chu family was as desolate as a haunted house.

The old servant followed Zhou Mingzhu and couldn't catch up with her.

"Madam Su, Madam Su, please don't go. Our master doesn't want to see you at all."

He is old and there is no way he can catch up with Zhou Mingzhu.

In the darkness, the old servant saw Zhou Xianyue standing in the distance.

"lady."

The old servant pointed at Zhou Mingzhu's back anxiously.

"This Madam Su, I can't persuade her at all. She forced her way in."

Zhou Xianyue was so thin that only bones remained.

"If she wants to go, let her go."

Zhou turned around, holding a lantern in her hand.

The old servant had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Ma'am, what are you doing?"

"Aren't you going to stop it?"

He has been an old servant in the Chu family for decades and knows all the grievances and grudges of everyone in the Chu family.

In the past, Zhou would become furious whenever she heard Zhou Mingzhu's name.

Now Zhou Mingzhu actually came to the Chu family so blatantly.

It would be normal for Zhou to jump up and fight with Zhou Mingzhu until the sky was dark.

But Zhou Xinyue walked out of the Chu family abnormally.

She seemed to not care about Zhou Mingzhu at all.

As soon as I walked out the door, I ran into Su Shizhi who was looking for Zhou Mingzhu.

Su Shi was stunned, looking at the skinny Zhou Xianyue.

"It's so late, what are you doing?"

Zhou Xinyue did not answer Su Shizhi. She walked forward with the lantern in her hand.

As soon as she brushed Su Shizhi's shoulder, her arm was grabbed by Su Shizhi.

"Xianyue, what's wrong with you?"

"How did you become so thin?"

Even the people of the Su family, who lived such a hard life in the northern border, were not as thin as Zhou Xinyue.

Zhou Xinyue pushed Su Shizhi away. She looked at the man indifferently and left without looking back.

Su Shizhi was originally looking for Zhou Mingzhu with Wang Baobao and Wang Sangongzi.

Half of the betrothal gift given by the Wang family was withheld by Zhou Mingzhu, and the other half was exchanged for money by Su Shujing.

If you want to return the Wang family's betrothal gift, you have to find Zhou Mingzhu and Su Shujing together.

Seeing that Zhou Xinyue seemed to be in a bad mood, Su Shizhi immediately handed the lantern in his hand to the Wang family.

He caught up with Zhou Xianyue,

"What are you going to do? Xianyue, I know you haven't had a good time these years."

"Now that I'm back, Crescent Moon, we still have a chance to start over."

Hearing this, Zhou stopped.

She seemed to have heard a very funny joke and finally reacted.

"How can I start over? What makes you think you can start over again?"

Zhou Xianyue turned around and looked at Su Shizhi in the darkness with the light of the lantern.

"With your scheming concubine?"

Su Shizhi's eyes flickered, "The wife of the headmaster of the Yama Division is your biological daughter..."

"Su Shizhi, what else can you rely on in your life besides women?"

Zhou Xianyue was furious.

"You've already ruined your own reputation, your daughter's reputation, and your wife's reputation. Do you still want to ruin Chu Zheng's reputation?"

She sneered, stretched out her hand, and pushed Su Shizhi hard.

"You're dreaming, Su Shizhi, don't even think about it!"

Su Shizhi seemed anxious, "But if we don't rely on Nan Chuzheng, we will never have a chance to be together again."

"Who cares?"

Zhou Xinyue pulled out a knife from his sleeve and stabbed it directly into Su Shizhi's abdomen.

"Ever since you broke off the engagement, I've never thought of having anything to do with a man like you again."

"I don't care about you, Su Shizhi. Just die with Zhou Mingzhu. Don't mess with Chu Zheng anymore."
