The disgraced official I took care of was actually Zhu Houcong's childhood friend.

It wasn't that Zhou Chu was indifferent to women, nor that he believed in equality for all and couldn't accept these feudal dregs.

On the contrary, Zhou Chu still really enjoyed being served.

The main reason for letting Xianglan and the others leave was that Zhou Chu's qi and blood were much more vigorous than that of an ordinary person due to his martial arts training.

If Xianglan and the others were to serve her a bath, she might not be able to resist.

Zhou Chu didn't consider himself a paragon of virtue, unable to remain unmoved by a woman's advances.

But Zhou Chu didn't want to lose his virginity too early.

A virgin can make rapid progress in anything, whether it's practicing martial arts, doing things, or studying.

As long as one's vital energy remains intact, one will always be full of energy and highly efficient in doing things.

They can concentrate on reading more easily than the average person, and their memory is far superior to that of ordinary people.

Needless to say, the practice of martial arts is even more effective; a day of practice by a virgin is equivalent to several days of practice by someone who is not a virgin.

Zhou Chu would certainly not abandon the period of hard work and self-improvement he had been pursuing for the sake of women.

It's not that I'm indifferent to women, but it will be at least a few years later, after I'm seventeen or eighteen.

After a long day, Zhou Chu lay down in the bathwater and felt instantly refreshed.

This bathwater contains many precious medicinal herbs.

This is the Lu family's martial arts training secret.

It can effectively alleviate the damage caused by prolonged martial arts training, and continuously strengthen the blood, fascia, and skin.

Although the effects are far less miraculous than those described in many martial arts novels, such as turning into a bucket of clear water after soaking.

But Zhou Chu persisted in soaking for three years, and the results were still quite noticeable.

In fact, it wasn't just the Lu family; most officers of the Embroidered Uniform Guard above the rank of centurion had family-inherited martial arts and medicinal formulas.

If you only practice martial arts but don't take medicine, you won't live long.

The next morning, Zhou Chu got up early to practice his skills.

Even Mu Yunjin got up and started practicing martial arts with Zhou Chu.

In Mu Yunjin's words, she was going to lead troops into battle in the future, so naturally she had to hone her martial arts skills.

Zhou Chu took her words as childish tantrums and didn't take them seriously.

However, they didn't stop him from practicing his skills.

After all, mastering kung fu can protect you and improve your health.

After practicing for only a short time, Mu Yunjin's skills were already quite impressive.

The stance is very stable.

After finishing his practice, Zhou Chu was eating breakfast when Afu suddenly rushed in.

"Boss... Boss, you'd better hurry... hurry to the shop and see what's happened!"

Ah Fu was panting as he spoke, clearly having run all the way here.

"What happened?"

As Zhou Chu walked toward the shop, he asked Afu.

"The female boss's family members came to cause trouble."

Ah Fu had caught his breath and was no longer stammering.

"family?"

Zhou Chu was puzzled when he heard this.

Didn't Shen Qing's family all break up? Her father has been dead for several years.

Could it be one of those concubines?

It's possible.

No matter what, the children born to those concubines could be considered Shen Qing's younger brothers.

Seeing Yun Gui Fang's business grow bigger and bigger, some people are bound to feel uncomfortable.

If we come over and cause a scene, we might be able to get some money.

I just don't know which one it is.

When Zhou Chu arrived at the entrance of Yun Gui Fang, he saw an acquaintance.

Aunt Liu.

However, Aunt Liu at this time was completely different from the one three years ago.

At that time, Aunt Liu was incredibly charming and alluring.

At this moment, however, his hair was disheveled and his face was haggard.

Beside him was a six or seven-year-old boy, who also looked haggard and was thin.

They look like they're not doing well.

Zhou Chu had no idea how Aunt Liu had fallen to such a state.

But Zhou Chu knew that people who had no way out wouldn't reason with you.

They would desperately grasp at any straw that offered a chance to save them.

Talking to her about how you've already broken off the relationship is definitely not going to work.

"I don't care. He's still your brother no matter what. Are you going to watch him starve to death? He's a member of the Shen family."

Aunt Liu burst into tears.

At this point, more and more people gathered around.
