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

Just as Nan Chuzheng gave birth, Zhou Zhenchang stumbled back to the Zhou family.

He hadn't even taken a breath yet.

A servant on the opposite side ran up and bumped into him as if he didn't see him.

"You're so blind! Didn't you see I'm back? You have no rules!"

Zhou Zhenchang shouted loudly that since Luo Mengxi's death, the servants of the Zhou family have been increasingly lacking in discipline.

He originally wanted to make a gesture to the outside world and imitate Su Shizhi by pretending to be an affectionate person, and he didn't want to remarry shortly after Luo Mengxi's death.

But Ling'er was just a maid and couldn't manage the servants of the Zhou family at all.

Zhou Zhenchang began to seriously consider Mrs. Zhou's suggestion.

In this imperial capital, who are the women whose family background is higher than his and who are also the only daughters in the family?

It was at this time that Emperor Bai Jing's imperial edict arrived at the Zhou family.

"It is destined to be blessed by heaven, the emperor decreed..."

The eunuch's shrill voice rang out.

Old Madam Zhou, Zhou Zhenchang, Ling'er and other masters and servants of the Zhou family all knelt below to receive the order.

But after hearing the eunuch's decree, Mrs. Zhou felt dizzy and fainted immediately.

Zhou Zhenchang's face turned even paler. He murmured in disbelief,

"Impossible, impossible, I clearly went to look for Nan Chuzheng."

No matter how he talked with Nan Chuzheng in Nan's house today, whether he got Nan Chuzheng's help.

At least everyone will know that he and Nan Chuzheng are related by blood.

Even though many people in the imperial capital were targeting him, Emperor Bai Jing would not confiscate his entire family's property and exile them to the northern border.

Behind the eunuch stood Yama Sizhong.

The eunuch who issued the decree put it away, and a member of the Yama Division standing behind him put a large bag of silver into the eunuch's hand.

The eunuch put the silver into his sleeve without leaving a trace. He lowered his head and looked at Zhou Zhenchang with indifference in his eyes.

Everyone had the same reaction as Zhou Zhenchang when their homes were searched.

The people of the Zhou family are quite mentally strong.

Many people were so frightened that they were trembling and wet their pants before the imperial edict was even finished.

Zhou Zhenchang, who was kneeling on the ground, happened to see the eunuch collecting the money.

He stood up quickly, rushed to the eunuch, and said anxiously,

"They are from Yama's Ministry, and they asked you, eunuch, to issue the imperial edict, right?"

Others may not know, but Zhou Zhenchang knows that there are several officials around him who have had their homes confiscated and exiled for committing crimes.

The imperial edict in the eunuch's hand was most likely not written by Emperor Bai Jing at all, but by someone from the Yama Division.

Because the Yama Division is so powerful, many things do not need to be reported to Emperor Bai Jing.

Just let the head of Yama Division handle it directly.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Zhou Zhenchang's eyes.

Even if we take a step back and say that this imperial edict was really written by Emperor Bai Jing, as long as the head of the Yama Division stepped in, no one in the Great Sheng Dynasty would dare to raid the Zhou family's house.

"I am the uncle of the wife of the headmaster of the Yama Division. There must be some misunderstanding. I just met the wife today."

Zhou Zhenchang grabbed the eunuch's shoulders out of control.

"Go find the wife of the head of the Yama Division and tell Nan Chuzheng that the Yama Division's men are going to raid my house... Go quickly, go quickly."

The eunuch was motionless, his face was pale as a death, and his words were extremely cold.

"Since you've already guessed that Yama is going to raid your house, you should know who you've offended this time."

Anyone who can raid someone's house must have great power.

His power is even many times greater than those people Zhou Zhenchang had offended before.

The eunuch was just about to say Nan Chenrao's name.

Zhou Zhenchang felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. "Why did the Master do this to me?"

The Yama people standing behind the eunuch said in a cold voice,

"You weren't wronged at all by being exiled and having your property confiscated. For so many years, you've been the one to exploit all the disaster relief money that passed through your hands."

"We've only touched you now because our boss is doing it for the eldest lady's sake."

"But you absolutely shouldn't have come to harm our young lady."

It was Nan Chuzheng again! It was Nan Chuzheng again. Zhou Zhenchang was confused. What kind of precious body was this Nan Chuzheng?

"How did I hurt her? Her water just broke and she's about to give birth!"

"Her belly is so big now, she has to give birth sooner or later!"

Zhou Zhenchang didn't think he had done anything wrong. He just ran in front of Nan Chuzheng and made her angry.

But that can only be blamed on Nan Chuzheng’s big belly and her easy anger!

Yan Luosi was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked Zhou Zhenchang in the stomach.

"Don't you know how precious the eldest lady is? If something bad happens to her, she'll crush your entire Zhou family into dust. Isn't that enough compensation?"

Zhou Zhenchang bent over and curled up on the ground again, shaking with pain.

He had almost no ability to fight back, and even if he did, he wouldn't dare to do so in front of Yama Luosi.

What happened next was very simple. Yan Luosi entered the Zhou family like flowing water.

Amid the panicked escape and screams of the Zhou family's servants, the Zhou family's house was completely looted.

Zhou Zhenchang hurried into Old Lady Zhou's room.

Just then I saw Ling'er coming out holding a box.

Zhou Zhenchang hurriedly stopped Ling'er and asked with full vigilance:

"What's that in your hand?"

The box in Ling'er's hand looked very familiar to Zhou Zhenchang.

He thought for a while, then became furious and pointed at Ling'er and shouted:

"You're holding the old lady's dowry box? You bitch!"

Immediately, Zhou Zhenchang stepped forward to grab the box.

But Ling'er covered the box and took two steps back.

A man stepped forward and pushed Zhou Zhenchang, protecting Ling'er.

Zhou Zhenchang looked at the man's protective posture in surprise, his eyes fell on Ling'er.

Ling'er huddled in the man's arms, tightly guarding the box in her hands.

This man was the coachman of Zhou Zhenchang's family.

"What's the relationship between you two?"

He looked at Ling'er in disbelief.

In fact, Zhou Zhenchang didn't need to ask, Ling'er's attitude already showed that the two were having an affair.

Ling'er's tears fell, she looked up with deep affection at the driver who was protecting her.

"This should have been my husband."

As Ling'er spoke, she looked at Zhou Zhenchang with eyes full of hatred.

"It's all because of you! It's all because of you!!"

She was clearly about to leave the Zhou family, and the lady had agreed to let her go free.

Let her go back and marry her beloved son.

But the night before she left, Zhou Zhengchang got drunk and forced her onto the bed...

"Do you think I really want to be your maid?"

"I don't care about Zhou Zhenchang. I never care about him!!!"
