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

Zhou Zhenchang did not come out to see Chu Jingyue.

Chu Jingyue was very dissatisfied with this. She accused Luo Mengxi of being rude and said,

"I need my uncle now, but he's avoiding me. What's going on?"

She thought that if she acted as domineeringly as before, the Zhou family would give her whatever they wanted.

After all, the Zhou family can only rely on Chu Jingyue now.

But who would have thought that Luo Mengxi would sneer,

"Hasn't our Zhou family been harmed enough by you and your daughter?"

"Your uncle didn't want to see you just to save your face."

"Hurry up and go back to where you came from. The Zhou family can't afford to serve a big Buddha like you."

Luo Mengxi's attitude is completely different from what it was some time ago.

Although she was originally dissatisfied with Chu Jingyue, she did not show it.

Now in front of Chu Jingyue, Luo Mengxi spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Chu Jingyue was immediately furious and raised her hand to slap Luo Mengxi.

But Luo Mengxi is not pampering Chu Jingyue now.

She took two steps back and avoided Chu Jingyue's hand.

Then, Luo Mengxi raised his hand and slapped Chu Jingyue on the face.

"Do you still think Su Shizhi is alive?"

There was a crazy look on Luo Mengxi's face.

"Chu Jingyue, the reason you're still alive and everyone gives in to you is because you have a good father, isn't it?"

After a pause, Luo Mengxi seemed to remember something, and she laughed loudly.

"Since I have forgotten you, my good father, you are gone now."

The fact that Su Shizhi and Xu Jiaoxue died in the sea of fire shocked the entire imperial capital.

Although Su Shizhi's reputation is not very good in this later period, who would want to bother with a dead person?

As long as Su Shizhi died, his reputation would continue to rise.

But at the same time, now that Su Shizhi is dead, he is of no use.

Chu Jingyue screamed "Ah" and rushed towards Luo Mengxi.

"You dare to hit me? Do my uncle and my grandmother know that you are bullying me like this?"

Luo Mengxi dodged Chu Jingyue's attack again. She said sarcastically,

"How could they not know? The Zhou family is busy taking care of themselves right now, so how could they care about you?"

"Someone's coming, show him out!"

"Our Zhou family is small. If this concubine from the Eastern Palace wants to enter the Zhou family again, don't let her in."

Chu Jingyue was carried by two maids and dragged out the door.

"Chu Jingyue, how dare you?! Luo Mengxi! I belong to the Eastern Palace!!"

It’s a pity that no matter how unwilling Chu Jingyue was, no matter how loudly she screamed.

No one from the Zhou family came out to stop Luo Mengxi from kicking her out.

After Luo Mengxi watched Chu Jingyue leave the Zhou family with cold eyes, she turned and went to Zhou Zhenchang's study and told him that Chu Jingyue had come to the Zhou family.

Zhou Zhenchang's face was pale and there was a letter on his desk.

Luo Mengxi, "Master, did you hear what I said?"

There was a hint of coldness in her voice.

Facing Zhou Zhenchang, or even everyone in the Zhou family, Luo Mengxi couldn't get warm anymore.

She could never forget that her daughter was killed by Chu Jingyue.

In order to curry favor with the prince, the Zhou family ignored her daughter's death.

Everyone knew that it was Chu Jingyue who harmed Zhou Yinyin.

But they still treated Chu Jingyue warmly.

Luo Mengxi was not even allowed to show a frown to Chu Jingyue.

Now Su Shizhi is dead.

Luo Mengxi believes that this is Su Shizhi's greatest contribution to her.

Looking at Zhou Zhenchang's distraught look, Luo Mengxi felt inexplicably happy.

"It's over, it's over."

Zhou Zhenchang finally came to his senses, but did not answer Luo Mengxi.

He said to Luo Mengxi with a pale face,

"I've caused a huge disaster. Our Zhou family is finished."

Hearing this, Luo Mengxi's heart sank.

She looked at Zhou Zhenchang in surprise, "Master, what are you talking about?"

At first, Luo Mengxi thought that she had offended Chu Jingyue and drove Chu Jingyue out of the Zhou family, so Zhou Zhenchang said that their Zhou family was finished.

As a result, Zhou Zhenchang was trembling all over. He stood up, rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground.

Luo Mengxi originally had no feelings for Zhou Zhenchang. This man was cold-hearted and extremely mercenary.

In order to curry favor with Chu Jingyue, he even disregarded the life of his own daughter.

Luo Mengxi was very disappointed with this man.

When Zhou Zhenchang fainted, Luo Mengxi just wanted to laugh.

But then, Luo Mengxi felt something was wrong.

It was just that he offended a concubine in the Eastern Palace.

Chu Jingyue was not favored by the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, otherwise she would not have been just a concubine after entering the Eastern Palace for such a long time.

What's more, Chu Jingyue is infertile and has no one to rely on.

Even if we take a step back, if Chu Jingyue could give birth, if Chu Jingyue was favored by the prince.

so what?

Everyone with a discerning eye in the Dasheng Dynasty knew that even if the prince succeeded to the throne, he would only be a puppet emperor.

All power is in the hands of the chief of Yama Division.

There was no need for Zhou Zhenchang to be so scared and even fainted for the sake of Chu Jingyue.

Luo Mengxi immediately shouted loudly to the maid outside, asking her to get Zhou Zhenchang to the bed.

Then go see a doctor.

The Zhou family was busy for a while. Luo Mengxi had to wait until the doctor came before she had time to take a look at the letter that Zhou Zhenchang had placed on the desk.

This letter was written by Zhou Zhenchang's immediate superior, and it severely reprimanded Zhou Zhenchang for the mistakes he made during his tenure.

It was also stated that Zhou Zhenchang had committed embezzlement and was involved in the major corruption case last year.

This matter was not exposed originally because Zhou Zhenchang was not very important in it.

And Zhou Zhenchang hid it very well.

He was dragged into this matter now because Zhou Zhenchang's immediate superior had his eyes on him.

The letter said that Zhou Zhenchang should either come out and surrender himself, or let the Yama Law Courts conduct a thorough investigation to find out how many crimes Zhou Zhenchang had committed over the years.

Luo Mengxi turned pale after reading the letter.

She didn't understand what was going on with the Zhou family.

After the doctor examined Zhou Zhenchang, he used a silver needle to wake him up.

Luo Mengxi rushed to Zhou Zhenchang's bedside and asked crying,

"Master, what happened to our Zhou family? What happened to you?"

She thought that Zhou Zhenchang had simply displeased his immediate superior, and that was why he was scolded by his immediate superior and asked to rest at home and was not allowed to go to work again.

What kind of corruption case was revealed in the end?

This is no small matter. If not handled properly, the entire family may be executed.

Zhou Zhenchang was lying on the bed, his face as pale as snow.

It's just corruption. Which official nowadays doesn't take some money?

When he had a good relationship with the Chu family, he often helped the Chu family embezzle disaster relief funds.

Now that the Chu family has fallen, if these things were to be dug up one by one, he would be guilty of a capital crime.
