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

After making love, the man got up from Xu Jiaoxue's body.

As he put on his clothes, he raised his hand and pinched Xu Jiaoxue.

"Now that Su Shizhi is injured and the Crown Prince is furious, the Wang family doesn't dare to openly ask the Su family for a betrothal gift."

"They all hate Zhou Mingzhu. This is a great opportunity for you to take the top position."

"Jiaojiao, if you become the wife of a high-ranking official in the future, don't forget me."

Xu Jiaoxue was tormented by the man, her eyes were full of affection and her cheeks were pink.

This kind of feeling is something that a man of Su Shizhi's age cannot give her.

Su Shizhi has been in the Northern Frontier for so many years that his health has long been damaged.

Every time he and Xu Jiaoxue had sex, it ended hastily.

Xu Jiaoxue strongly disagrees with this aspect.

That's why Xu Jiaoxue, who had been unsatisfied for a long time, thought of drugging Su Shi today and going out to meet her lover.

She looked at the man and said coquettishly, "How could I possibly forget you?"

"Don't worry, in the future, as long as I have wealth and glory, yours will definitely be indispensable."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in the man's eyes, and then he said to Xu Jiaoxue with a cruel look on his face,

"Zhou Mingzhu is not an easy person to deal with. If Su Shizhi wants to divorce her, he'll probably have to put in some effort."

"Jiaojiao, I can't wait to see you become the wife of a high-ranking official."

Xu Jiaoxue smiled and reached out to hold the man's hand.

"Then when can I become Su Shizhi's legal wife? I need your help."

"You know, you will definitely benefit from this."

The affair between this man and her has been going on for several years.

After the man left Xu Jiaoxue, he turned around and went to the Chu family.

Since Zhou Mingzhu left the Zhou family, she went directly to the Zhou family.

After asking around the Zhou family's neighborhood, he found out that Zhou Mingzhu had actually left the Zhou family and had never returned.

No one from the Zhou family has ever looked for Zhou Mingzhu, and now Zhou Mingzhu is still in the Chu family.

The man sneered, "Chu family?"

"This Zhou Mingzhu is really good at hiding."

No one knew what she said to the terminally ill Marquis Chu.

Lord Chu actually let Zhou Mingzhu live in the Chu family.

The Chu family now has few servants, but the big house is still there.

It is not as easy to climb over the walls of wealthy families as it is for ordinary people.

Xu Jiaoxue's lover thought about it and decided that if he wanted to get rid of Zhou Mingzhu, he had to get Zhou Mingzhu out of the Chu family.

He immediately turned around and found Xu Jiaoxue and discussed something with her.

On the second day, Xu Jiaoxue wore plain clothes and went to the Chu family in the name of Su Shizhi's concubine.

The Chu family is dwindling in numbers, and they are currently preparing for Zhou Xinyue's funeral.

However, Zhou Xinyue's funeral was very sloppy, and few people in the entire imperial capital came to mourn her.

The Marquis of Chu was still ill and did not preside over Zhou Xinyue's funeral.

When Xu Jiaoxue came to the Chu family, the people treated her as a guest.

The old servant of the Chu family led Xu Jiaoxue into the house.

Zhou Mingzhu was standing in front of Zhou Xinyue's coffin, looking at Zhou Xinyue's tablet coldly.

Hearing the noise, Zhou Mingzhu turned around and watched Xu Jiaoxue enter the mourning hall with a man.

"What are you here for?"

Zhou Mingzhu asked coldly, his eyes falling on Xu Jiaoxue's back.

The man standing behind Xu Jiaoxue was not Su Shizhi. Judging from his burly figure, he was younger than Su Shizhi and had more hair.

Xu Jiaoxue pursed her lips and smiled:

"There have been many things going on at home lately, and I, a woman, am too busy to handle it all, so Master specially asked me to buy a servant."

Liu Jie, who was standing behind Xu Jiaoxue, immediately stepped forward and saluted Zhou Mingzhu perfunctorily.

"I have met the Madam."

Although Liu Jie lowered his eyebrows, he would occasionally glance around the Chu family with his eyes.

There was a glimmer of greed hidden in his eyes.

This is the former Marquis's house.

Even though such a large house has been deserted for a long time, you can still see its ingenious luxury everywhere.

Everyone says that the Chu family has fallen into decline, but in Liu Jie's opinion, that is not the case.

Even this big house, if it were to be sold, I don’t know how much it could be sold for.

While bowing to Zhou Mingzhu, he was calculating in his mind how much he could earn from this vote.

Zhou Mingzhu didn't even look at Liu Jie, but looked at Xu Jiaoxue coldly.

"It seems that Su Shizhi is not at the end of his rope yet. He actually has money to buy you a slave?"

Zhou Mingzhu knew best what kind of man Su Shizhi was.

Over the years, Zhou Mingzhu has seen through Su Shizhi.

For Su Shizhi, he will only make full use of the people around him.

Su Shizhi had no money on him. Although he was a fifth-rank Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, he had not been assigned any tasks until now.

Su Shizhi had a hard time making ends meet with the little official money he received every month, let alone paying Xu Jiaoxue for servants.

Zhou Mingzhu did not expose the lies between Xu Jiaoxue and Liu Jie.

She turned and looked at Zhu Xianyue's tablet.

"Xu Jiaoxue, are you here to show off to me how good Su Shizhi is to you?"

"Okay, now you're done showing off, you can go."

Zhou Mingzhu was in a bad mood. She had hated Zhou Xinyue for so many years, and she had finally managed to enter the Chu family.

No matter what identity she came in with, she now lives in the Chu family.

But Zhou Xinyue died before her?!

Zhou Mingzhu still has so many accounts to settle with Zhou Xinyue.

How could Zhou Xinyue die?

Xu Jiaoxue and Liu Jie glanced at each other. Xu Jiaoxue stepped forward and said to Zhou Mingzhu anxiously,

"Madam, you have misunderstood me."

"I came here today to take Madam back home."

"Madam and husband have been through thick and thin together for so many years. I cannot bear to see things getting better while you and husband end up in such a mess."

"It's all my fault. I'm willing to serve you, Madam. I only hope you'll give me a chance."

What Xu Jiaoxue said was heartfelt and seemed so sincere and genuine.

But who is Zhou Mingzhu?

She was able to single-handedly support the Su family through 3,000 miles of exile, and was able to survive in a place like the Northern Frontier.

This in itself is enough to prove that Zhou Mingzhu is not a fool.

She looked at Xu Jiaoxue coldly.

"No need. I'm living well at Zheng Chu's house. I won't bother you and Su Shizhi."

Xu Jiaoxue said anxiously, "How can Madam live in the Chu family? Madam is from the Su family."

"If this gets out, it will be bad for the reputation of both the lady and the gentleman."

Hearing Xu Jiaoxue say this, Zhou Mingzhu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Why can't I live in the Chu family? My sister died, and I took care of her funeral at the Chu family. Who can say anything about me if the news gets out?"

Lord Chu is now seriously ill, and Zhou Xinyue has died again.

The whereabouts of the two sons of the Chu family are still unknown.

Zhou Mingzhu is Zhou Xinyue's biological sister, and at this time she came forward to take care of Zhou Xinyue's funeral.

As it should.
