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

"Warden, has anyone taken care of things for me? I'm all alone."

This person was very puzzled, and even somewhat frightened.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

It's possible that someone wants to harm me.

"You've gotten in favor of this young master, so don't ask any more questions. Just serve him well from now on."

Having received the money, the jailer naturally treated Chu Huizu very well.

Upon hearing this, the man looked at Chu Huizu beside him and immediately understood what was going on.

"Young master, please feel free to give me any instructions in the future."

Chu Huizu was also extremely shocked. He never expected that Zhou Chu, who was just a businessman, would have such powerful connections, able to stuff people into the capital's prison at will.

The jailers and guards all greeted him with smiles.

Although the food is not as good as before, it is still excellent.

Even the mattress would be changed for me regularly, and I had an extremely obedient younger brother by my side.

For a moment, Chu Huizu was somewhat dazed, wondering if he was really in prison.

After returning home, Zhou Chu arranged for Chu Li to stay in his study.

Next to the study was a side room, which was perfect for Chu Li to stay in.

There were very few maids in Zhou Chu's courtyard to begin with; basically only Chunlan could come and go as she pleased.

Other servants are not allowed to enter.

This was something Zhou Chu had planned long ago. Zhou Chu knew very well that he would have many secrets in the future, so he might as well arrange it from the beginning. In this way, it wouldn't be abnormal.

After Chu Li entered, all the maids who originally lived in Zhou Chu's courtyard were transferred to Cuiyun Pavilion, where Mu Yunjin lived.

“I’ve arranged things for Hui Zu. From now on, you’ll need to spend forty taels every month to bribe him. I’ll deduct that money from your share at Zui Xian Lou.”

In the study, Zhou Chu looked at Chu Li and said.

Zhou Chu knew very well that Chu Li had suffered a great change, and at this time, the most taboo thing was for others to pity her. If Zhou Chu only showed her pity, then there would definitely be a rift between the two of them.

Chu Li was originally a talented woman from a wealthy family, and even after experiencing a major change, she never needed anyone's pity.

Chu Li was naturally intelligent and kind-hearted. Upon hearing this, she understood that Zhou Chu was protecting her self-esteem, and she was even more moved.

She's still in a daze since the incident at the Chu family's place, feeling like it was all a nightmare.

She knew that her father was preoccupied and might be in trouble.

But he only felt that he might be demoted.

I never expected it to turn out like this.

"Thank you."

Chu Li said.

Zhou Chu waved his hand.

"Don't thank me, I didn't help much."

"Could you help me find out who did this?"

Chu Li gritted her teeth and said.

If it were before, Chu Li would have been overjoyed to be able to see Zhou Chu every day in his study.

But at this moment, Chu Li had no romantic thoughts in her mind.

What she was thinking about was finding out who had harmed her parents, and if possible, she would do everything in her power to take revenge.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chu fell silent.

Although Zhou Chu didn't know exactly who it was, he could guess roughly. However, Zhou Chu knew very well that now was not the time to tell Chu Li.

Chu Li is filled with hatred right now, and if you tell her, who knows what foolish thing she might do.

"Although I don't know who did it, with your current abilities, you won't be able to take revenge."

Zhou Chu spoke the truth.

"I can learn anything, as long as it helps me get revenge."

Upon hearing this, Chu Li replied without hesitation.

"Alright, from today onwards, I will teach you business skills. You can learn the rest on your own. My study has all kinds of books, including many rare editions. As long as you study hard, I will make you incredibly wealthy in the future, and at the same time, I will help you take revenge."

Zhou Chu made no secret of his ambition to Chu Li.

Zhou Chu knew very well that the greater his ambition, the greater the hope for Chu Li.
