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

Zhou didn't seem surprised by Chu Jingyue's choice.

She sneered and sat beside Chu Shiqing's bed.

"This is Zhou Mingzhu's seed."

Ever since she learned that Chu Jingyue was Zhou Mingzhu's daughter, Zhou completely understood Chu Jingyue's selfishness and coldness.

She turned her head to look at Chu Shiqing,

"Look, you kept it a secret from me and insisted on adopting Zhou Mingzhu's daughter. As a result, we brought an ungrateful person into our Chu family."

Chu Shiqing lowered his head. He couldn't find any words to describe the feeling in his heart.

Chu Jingyue was unwilling to lower her head for his sister, whom he had always favored, at this critical moment.

What should he say?

If he had known that Chu Jingyue was so selfish and cold-hearted, why did he keep hurting Nan Chuzheng for Chu Jingyue?

However, when Chu Jingyue heard Zhou's evaluation, she not only did not feel that she had done anything wrong, but also felt quite aggrieved.

It’s okay that her mother no longer loves her because of some trivial and unfounded matter.

Even her eldest brother, who had always loved her, now looked at her with a disappointed expression.

But what did she do wrong? It wasn't her who cut off Chu Shiqing's hand.

Chu Jingyue looked at Lord Chu with great grievance.

"Dad, look at my brother and mom!"

"They all bullied me, Dad~"

This is Chu Jingyue's usual trick, acting coquettishly.

Now Chu Shiqing only broke a hand, but they asked her to sacrifice her pride.

Go and beg Nan Chuzheng humbly.

Is it true that Nan Chuzheng, a wild girl who is not presentable enough, is worthy of Chu Jingyue bowing to her?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Lord Chu frowned tightly, he sat at the table and sighed softly,

"Jingyue, be obedient. This concerns your elder brother's future."

"If your brother's hand can't be reattached, his life will be ruined."

"Your eldest brother loves you the most..."

However, before Lord Chu could finish his words, Chu Jingyue pouted and covered her ears with her hands.

"I don't listen, I don't listen."

"With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, how could Big Brother's life be ruined?"

"Just one word from me, big brother, what glory and wealth do you want?"

Chu Shiqing was lying on the bed, trembling all over, and cold sweat had soaked his whole body.

His lips trembled as he looked at Chu Jingyue in disbelief.

"After all, it was given by someone else."

What should he say so that Chu Jingyue will understand?

The high position and generous salary bestowed upon him by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were given by others and were a gift to him.

If he had healthy hands and feet, he would not need others to give him these things. He could also work his way up step by step and finally climb to a position second only to the emperor.

Then he puffed out his chest and told everyone that everything he had today was earned through his own ability.

If you only rely on others, no matter how much they give you, it will ultimately be limited.

But Chu Jingyue couldn't understand Chu Shiqing.

She looked at Lord Chu, Chu Shiqing and Zhou Shi unhappily.

"I hate you guys the most."

She cried sweetly, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She turned around and ran out of Chu Shiqing's room filled with blood.

It was not until she left Chu Shiqing's room that Chu Jingyue let out a deep breath.

Great, the air outside is still fresh.

In the room, Lord Chu looked at his most proud son.

There was also Zhou, who cried all the time but was of no use at all. He sighed deeply.

Finally, as a last resort, he called his concubine.

"In the Chu family, Xingli and Chuzheng are quite close. Ask Xingli to call Chuzheng back."

Lord Chu has never been very optimistic about Chu Xingli, the unruly illegitimate son.

But in the entire Chu family, only Chu Xingli was kind to Nan Chuzheng.

Nan Chuzheng has a very good relationship with Chu Xingli, so if she lets Chu Xingli take action, Nan Chuzheng will probably give him some face.

Cao agreed readily and immediately sent someone to find Chu Xingli.

Seeing that Zhou could only sit aside and shed tears, Cao smiled and said,

"Sister, you're such a fool! Mother and daughter don't hold grudges overnight. Now that things have come to this, they have to ask Chu Xingli, the bastard who is also looked down upon by the family and cannot even be in public, to come out and smooth things over."

Zhou suddenly looked up and looked at Cao with a hint of hatred and warning in her eyes.

But Cao didn't care about that. For so many years, if Zhou hadn't given birth to an outstanding son, and Chu Jingyue hadn't won the favor of Marquis Chu.

Where is there any place for Zhou in the Marquis Zhaoyong's mansion?

Cao had been favored by the Marquis of Chu for many years. It was no exaggeration to say that the Marquis of Chu favored his concubine over his wife.

She has been suppressing Zhou all her life.

But when it comes to offspring, Chu Xinli, a second-generation rich kid, can't even catch up with Chu Shiqing no matter how hard he tries.

Lord Chu was once so happy and full of expectations for Chu Xinli.

So now Lord Chu is so disappointed with Chu Xinli and feels so disappointed with him.

Now that Chu Shiqing has become like this, Cao is actually very happy in her heart, and her words are full of sarcasm towards Zhou.

Lord Chu glared at Cao. No one in this room was a fool.

Everyone could hear the gloating in Cao's tone.

But Lord Chu just glared at her and said nothing else.

Zhou felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. She turned her head away and gritted her teeth to endure it all.

After all, her Chu Zheng was no longer with her.

If Chu Zheng were still alive, she would definitely have ridiculed Cao in return for Zhou if Cao had ridiculed her like this.

Chu Shiqing was lying on the bed, his heart filled with hatred towards Cao, but what could he do now?

He could only tolerate Cao. After all, he had to rely on Cao's son Chu Xinli to help him coax Nan Chuzheng over.

The morning light from next door was like a golden veil, passing through the carved window lattices and enveloping the room.

Nan Chuzheng opened her eyes and felt sore all over.

She raised her hand and found that her clothes had been replaced with loose and thin pajamas.

In the room, Nan Chenrao had already gotten up early in the morning and gone to Yama Palace.

Nan Chuzheng struggled to get up from the bed and looked at the bronze mirror opposite.

In the polished bronze mirror, her red lips were slightly swollen and her face seemed to have a hint of affection.

Nan Chuzheng frowned slightly, and as she stood up, she saw in the bronze mirror that there were many more purple-red marks on her neck.

It's not just on the neck.

Nan Chuzheng stood in front of the bronze mirror and slowly opened her clothes.

She was wearing no clothes at all in her loose pajamas.

Nan Chuzheng: ...

She looked at herself in disbelief, her face covered with fingerprints.

"It's really crazy."

Nan Chuzheng murmured, falling to the side of the bed, with some vague impressions in her mind.

Not long after she was poisoned by the Mi Jin Powder, she sealed her heart meridian with silver needles.

Therefore, the datura powder in the Mi Jin Powder did not have such a profound effect on her, and only made her feel dizzy like being drunk.

She was not completely without consciousness and memory.

So she can still remember some of what Nanchen Rao did to her.

Just when Nan Chuzheng was at a loss, the door of the room creaked open.

Nan Chuzheng hurriedly fell onto the bed, pulled up the quilt and pretended to sleep.

At this moment, she didn't know how to face him.
