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

Nanda nodded, "It's not a very important matter, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

The eldest lady and the head of the family have already gone to bed, and no one wants to disturb their rest at this time.

There was chaos in Marquis Zhaoyong's mansion.

Zhou couldn't stand being ignored by Nan Chuzheng, but she didn't want to go to Nan Chuzheng to make trouble, for fear that her daughter would dislike her.

So when Zhou saw Cao showing off in front of her, she could no longer bear it.

Chu Shiqing fell into a deep sleep, and the only thing he could hear was Zhou's voice scolding and angrily cursing Cao.

Cao cried and hid in the arms of the Marquis of Chu, acting like a little bird.

While comforting Cao, the Marquis of Chu blamed Zhou for not behaving like the mistress of a wealthy family.

But Zhou's only focus now is on how to win back the heart of her daughter Nan Chuzheng.

She had long been extremely disappointed with Lord Chu.

Zhou no longer longed for the approval of Marquis Chu. After being despised by him for so many years and watching him favor his concubine over his wife, Zhou was tired of it.

What's more, if Zhou made any mistake, Lord Chu would bring up the incident of Zhou's scheme to exchange marriages.

She's had enough.

"Zhou! If you continue to act like a crazy shrew, I will divorce you."

Lord Chu was so angry that he pointed at Zhou's nose and yelled.

Cao, lying in his arms, had tears in her eyes and a look of secret joy on her face.

"Do you think I care? For so many years, no matter what I do, I can't satisfy you. I'm tired of it!"

Zhou's eyes were red as she yelled back at Lord Chu.

"My Lord, it's fine that you favor your concubine over your wife, but Chu Zheng has already been lost once. She finally agreed to return to the Chu family, and you indulge your concubine and try to steal my daughter!"

Zhou couldn't tolerate this.

She couldn't win over Lord Chu because she was not as skilled as him.

But Nan Chuzheng was born from her womb, so why should Cao register Nan Chuzheng under her name?

Cao cried softly,

"Sister, I'm not doing this for your own good, am I?"

"Everyone knows that Jingyue is your biological daughter. She will become the Crown Princess in the future. She is the legitimate daughter."

"If others knew that Jingyue was just the Chu family's adopted daughter and Chuzheng was my sister's biological daughter, I don't know if Jingyue would ever be able to become the Crown Prince's legitimate wife."

During the Great Sheng Dynasty, there was a huge difference in the status of legitimate and illegitimate children.

The Chu family had always considered that if others knew that Nan Chuzheng was Zhou's daughter, there would probably be some twists and turns in Nan Jingyue's becoming the Crown Princess.

That's why I kept dragging my feet and didn't change Nan Chuzheng's last name back.

Nan Chuzheng was not recorded in the Chu family tree.

But things are different now.

The Chu family has realized the value of Nan Chuzheng.

The first step they took to control Nan Chuzheng was to change her last name back, record her in the Chu family genealogy, and make her a member of the Chu family.

During this process, no one asked Nan Chuzheng whether she was willing.

The people of the Chu family started arguing among themselves first.

Cao took out a handkerchief and pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes, looking extremely aggrieved.

Lord Chu pointed at Zhou and then appeased Cao.

"Look at you, why can't you be more generous? It's just the status of a legitimate or illegitimate child."

Zhou sneered, "You want my daughter to recognize someone else as her mother? You're dreaming."

She turned around and left, not even wanting to care about Chu Shiqing who was unconscious in bed.

When Lord Chu saw this, he was so angry that his heart ached.

So, with all the family affairs going on, Zhou is now just a hands-off boss and does nothing?

"Leave! If you dare to leave, I will take away your power as the head of the family."

Zhou didn't even turn around, "Who wants it? Give it to your concubine."

Cao was delighted and acted even more pitiful in front of Lord Chu.

On the morning of the next day, a roar erupted in Chu Shiqing's yard.

"My hand, oh, my hand!"

All the maids and servants in the yard crowded into Chu Shiqing's room.

Lord Chu had just closed his eyes for a while, but was awakened again.

He rushed out from next to Chu Shiqing in a bad temper and asked the maids and servants,

"What's wrong? What happened to the prince?"

A maid knelt down hurriedly and said in panic:

"The prince woke up early in the morning and his hand hurt a lot."

Listening to Chu Shiqing's heart-wrenching howls, it wasn't just severe pain, it was extreme pain.

Lord Chu frowned, "What are you waiting for? Go get Nan Chuzheng."

The Zhaoyong Marquis Mansion was extremely glorious during the old man's generation.

At that time, there were many scholars in the Chu family, and the old man was even the chief minister.

This is because the old man has outstanding literary talent and is a role model for scholars all over the world.

However, when the Zhaoyong Marquis Mansion was passed down to the generation of Lord Chu, it gradually declined.

The Chu family has never produced anyone else who is talented in literature and good at reading.

By the time of Lord Chu's generation, except for Chu Shiqing, no one in the Chu family had any interest in studying.

Chu Shiqing can be regarded as the most studious and literary descendant of the Chu family.

He has already become a sixth-rank official at a young age. If he is given time, and Chu Shiqing has more time.

With the secret arrangements of Lord Chu, Chu Shiqing will surely rise further.

What's more, if Yanluo Si can be used by the Chu family, then Chu Shiqing will once again become the prime minister and reproduce the glory of the old man in the past.

It's not a problem.

But the basis of all this is based on the fact that Chu Shiqing's hands can write.

Who would accept a prime minister who can't even hold a pen steadily?

Just when Chu Shiqing was in excruciating pain because of his hand.

The government office sent Shi Qing a letter of resignation.

Lord Chu's face was very grim. He asked the official who came to deliver the letter of resignation,

"What big mistake did my son make?"

The official shook his head and said to Lord Chu with great respect,

"The prince didn't commit any serious offense. It's just that the superiors learned that his hand was broken and he could no longer hold a pen, so they asked him to rest at home."

"Even if my son could rest at home, he could just take a leave. Why did you dismiss him from his official position?"

Lord Chu was very dissatisfied.

The minor official who came to deliver the letter of resignation pursed his lips and said nothing.

Is there any need to ask why this happened? An official with a broken right hand has no chance of success in his career.

There is no need to ask why.

Seeing that Lord Chu had a bad temper, the minor official told him to go to his superiors if he had any questions.

He quickly found an excuse to leave and ran away faster than a rabbit.

Lord Chu paced back and forth in the front hall angrily, saying:

"It doesn't make sense, it simply doesn't make sense!"

As soon as Chu Shiqing's hand was injured, Lord Chu blocked the news and prevented it from spreading outside.

He felt strange. How did Chu Shiqing's superior know that Chu Shiqing's hand was broken?

At this time, Cao walked into the front hall in a gorgeous manner. She showed the newly made dress to Lord Chu.

"Master, look, isn't this dress of mine beautiful?"

Lord Chu was very upset.

"Hurry up and find Zhou and ask her to go next door."

"I can't lose my position in the secular world."

"No matter who is behind this, as long as Yama Si steps in, who would dare to resign from the position of Shi Qing?"

Cao curled her lips.

"Chu Zheng has been back in our Chu family for two years, and my sister has never even looked at her straight in the eye. Chu Zheng is angry with me, so how could she easily listen to me?"

"Why not let my second brother go?"
