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

Chu Jingyue was crying and didn't even notice the ugly expression on Marquis Chu's face.

Lord Chu frowned and asked,

"You went to the East Palace last night?"

Seeing Chu Jingyue didn't speak, Lord Chu raised his hand and pointed at Chu Jingyue.

"you!"

He didn't know how to tell Chu Jingyue that she had gone to the Eastern Palace, but after such a long time, Chu Jingyue didn't even have a stable status.

"The Chu family is in turmoil right now. Your two brothers are useless, so we're relying on you. And yet you have no self-respect!"

He angrily scolded Chu Jingyue and blamed Zhou for the incident.

Zhou was in charge of the Chu family, but when Chu Jingyue did not return home on a moonlit night, Zhou did not care.

Is he supposed to be a grown man and decide whether his daughter lives in the East Palace or not?

Chu Jingyue was scolded, she said angrily,

"Father, wasn't it you who instructed me to hold the prince captive?"

This wasn't her first day staying in the East Palace.

When she was dating Qin Lang before, Lord Chu was also very supportive.

But when he knew that Chu Jingyue had married the prince, Lord Chu showed even more support.

It is a big deal for a girl to stay out all night, but the Chu family acted very calmly.

Without the instruction of Lord Chu, how could Zhou dare to make the decision alone?

Lord Chu was so angry that he slapped Chu Jingyue in the face.

"I'm usually too indulgent with you, so you dare to speak to me like that."

"You're such a useless thing, just like your two brothers!"

He was very angry because none of his children could help him.

The only one who can help is Nan Chuzheng.

But Nan Chuzheng ignored him.

Lord Chu felt very powerless.

A fury of impotence washed over him.

Chu Jingyue's face was twisted to one side by the blow.

She covered her face with one hand and looked at Lord Chu with anger, hatred and disappointment in her eyes.

"What's that look in your face?"

Lord Chu felt a chill in his heart.

"The Chu family raised you and can't beat you."

In fact, after Lord Chu beat Chu Jingyue, he felt a little regretful.

After all, she was the daughter he had pampered and brought up, so Lord Chu still had feelings for Chu Jingyue.

He softened his tone.

"Jingyue, if you want to be smart, learn from your sister. Look at how your sister behaves."

"Which woman in this imperial capital can be even half as graceful as your sister?"

In the past, the Chu family and people outside had said that Nan Chuzheng was not worthy of being in a prestigious position.

At that time, Lord Chu felt that it was a bit biased.

But he said nothing. After all, these were women's affairs and not his business.

As for whether Nan Chuzheng was wronged or not, it didn’t matter to Lord Chu.

He didn't have much affection for Nan Chuzheng, even though she was his biological daughter.

At most, he could raise this stunningly beautiful daughter for two years and marry her off to a royal relative to pave the way for the Chu family.

He had already fulfilled his fatherly responsibilities to Nan Chuzheng.

What's more, when Nan Chuzheng recognized the Chu family, didn't she secretly dislike the Nan family's low rank while the Chu family was a marquis' family?

She also wants to get close to the Chu family and have a good future.

At least before this, Lord Chu had full faith in Nan Chuzheng's plan.

But now, Lord Chu no longer thinks so. He feels that the Nan family is not simple, and Nan Chuzheng's background is even more complicated.

He has to investigate carefully, and there must be an opportunity for him to turn the tide.

After this change of perspective, when comparing Chu Jingyue with Nan Chuzheng, Chu Jingyue's means seemed too low and not good enough.

"If you could just learn even a little bit of your sister's manners, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't fall in love with someone else."

Chu Jingyue didn't care about Lord Chu's earnest advice.

She turned and ran, crying back to her yard, and began to pack her bags.

She can no longer live in the Chu family. The Chu family is in decline. Now Chu Shiqing has lost his position as an official and the title of Marquis Chu has also been lost.

When she stayed in the Chu family, she was always beaten, scolded and despised. Now, she, a young lady who grew up in a wealthy family, was asked to learn etiquette from a village girl.

You’re dreaming. This is not the way to insult someone.

Chu Jingyue packed her bag, took all her gold and silver jewelry and banknotes, and went to find Zhou again.

She reached out and asked Zhou for her dowry.

Zhou had a high fever, her lips were chapped, and she lay in bed, feeling dizzy and unable to speak.

"you......"

"My mother once promised me that if I ever got married, she would give me a dowry of ten miles of red."

Chu Jingyue said it as a matter of course,

"Now the Chu family is dissatisfied with me. I will take my share of the dowry and return to live in the Zhou family."

Zhou was so angry that her eyes turned black. She tried hard to utter a few words.

"You, you think beautifully!"

She hated Zhou Mingzhu and also hated Zhou Mingzhu's daughter.

If Lord Chu had not insisted on keeping Chu Jingyue, Zhou would have kicked Chu Jingyue out of the Chu family long ago.

Now Chu Jingyue actually wants to ask her for the dowry of Shilihongzhuang.

It's just a fool's errand.

"All that dowry is left for Chu Zheng..."

Zhou said with difficulty.

Chu Jingyue sneered, "I knew that mother no longer loves me."

"It's okay, I'll get it myself."

When Nan Chuzheng was not back, everyone in the Chu family treated her like a treasure.

After Nan Chuzheng came back, Chu Jingyue was on high alert, which made the Chu family pay more attention to Nan Chuzheng.

If Chu Jingyue had known that Nan Chuzheng's face would earn the Chu family's favoritism, she should have destroyed Nan Chuzheng's face as soon as possible.

Do you still want Nan Chuzheng to get married and give her a dowry of ten miles of red makeup?

dream.

Chu Jingyue stood up and went to look through Zhou's boxes.

Zhou was lying on the bed, raising her hands, but she didn't even have the strength to speak.

Most of the people serving her were given to her by the Zhou family, and a small number were from the Chu family.

The people of the Zhou family will naturally help Chu Jingyue, and the people of the Chu family know that Chu Jingyue is the treasure of the Chu family.

Moreover, Chu Jingyue will become the Crown Princess in the future.

No one in the Chu family dared to interfere with what she was going to do.

Chu Jingyue knew where Zhou kept her dowry.

She found two exquisite small boxes from Zhou's boxes.

Each small box contained a lot of land deeds, silver bills, etc.

These were the dowries that Zhou planned to give to Chu Jingyue and Nan Chuzheng.

Chu Jingyue's share was much larger, while Nan Chuzheng's share consisted of only a few thin land deeds and banknotes.

These two sets of makeup were prepared by Zhou a long time ago, but he never had time to organize them.

Later, she simply stopped sorting them out and just swapped the two dowries.

The extra portion was given to Chu Zheng, and the remaining portion was given to Chu Jingyue.

So these two small boxes are the largest part of the two dowries.

The rest are nothing more than some pearl hairpins, jewelry, clothes, household items, vases, calligraphy and paintings and so on.

In the later stage, it will be easier to make it more vague and create two copies of "Ten Miles of Red Makeup". It won't be a problem.

I saw Chu Jingyue take out both small boxes and take them away.

Zhou turned over in a hurry and fell off the bed.

She was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood and pointed at Chu Jingyue's back.

"Rebellious girl, rebellious girl!"

If she had known this would happen, she should have been nicer to Chu Zheng.

It would have prevented us from ending up in this situation today.

Ahhhhhh.
