Chu Zheng returned, and Liu dragged him to her empty room, crying about Chu Zhiyi’s barbaric, bandit-like behavior.
Looking at the room that had been ransacked, Chu Zheng was also furious.
A lowly seed raised by commoners can never be taught well! Someone, bring the teaching whip and bring that wild girl to the ancestral hall.
The Chu family became lively in the dark night.
Liu and Chu Miaomiao were already waiting impatiently outside the ancestral hall.
Watching Chu Zhiyi slowly approach, both of them had resentment in their eyes.
Liu hoped that Chu Zheng would beat her to death tonight, so that the great trouble in her heart would be eliminated.
Chu Miaomiao, on the other hand, wanted her to linger on, because she would be disfigured, imprisoned, and suffer after marrying Lan Huaiyu. It would be too cheap for her to be beaten to death today!
The girl calmly walked into the ancestral hall, her lower body extremely stable and her footsteps silent. Unfortunately, there was no expert in this mansion who could see the clues from her footwork.
She closed the door herself when she entered the ancestral hall, and the onlookers outside were surprised. Then they heard a bunch of things smashing on the ground inside.
What’s going on? Mother, shall we go in and take a look?
It must be your father whipping her. She has the backbone to not say a word. It probably wasn’t a heavy beating.
Don’t beat sister to death. The eunuch wants a bride for good luck. He will definitely punish father if the bride is gone. That pervert can do anything.
Liu thought that was right. She secretly wanted to kill that cursed seed as soon as possible, but definitely not now.
Then… kill her after marrying her off. If she dies in the eunuch’s mansion, it has nothing to do with her.
Inside the ancestral hall, Chu Zheng stared blankly at his empty hand and the ancestral tablets that had fallen to the ground.
As soon as that wild girl came in and closed the door, he whipped her, but he didn’t know how, it seemed like she raised her hand to block it, and the whip in his hand was pulled out by an evil force.
It flew around in circles to a high place and swept all the ancestral tablets down.
Chu Zhiyi’s clear and indifferent eyes overflowed with a smile, It seems that the ancestors don’t agree with father hitting me either. They probably think that father hasn’t even given birth to a son, and has raised someone else’s daughter for sixteen years. Now that his own daughter has finally returned, he doesn’t know how to love her. The ancestors are angry.
You…
Chu Zheng choked with anger. Not having a son was indeed the greatest pain in his life.
But it wasn’t his problem. It was that Liu ruined her body after giving birth to a daughter and could no longer give birth.
He had established a persona of not loving women and not sticking to conventions when he first entered the capital, not taking concubines and not valuing men, so that he had to secretly go outside to find women for so many years.
In addition, Liu, who came from a merchant family, gave him a lot of financial assistance at first. He cursed her as a hen that couldn’t lay eggs behind his back, but he had never really said that he wanted a son on the surface.
And his second and third younger brothers had many concubines and a bunch of children, and he was envious every time he saw them.
Chu Zhiyi’s words accurately poked his heart.
Who allowed you to talk to your father like that? You are wild and unruly and don’t know propriety.
No one taught me. I wandered outside for sixteen years and did hard work in the nunnery all day long. When I was too poor to eat, I robbed houses and set fire to mountains. Speaking of setting fires, I have experience. I can burn this mansion to the ground with one fire and send everyone to heaven!
Seeing her smiling, Chu Zheng felt that this wild girl was a madman.
And she probably didn’t grow up in a nunnery, maybe she mixed with bandits, that’s why she had such a bandit-like air.
Looking at Chu Zheng’s changing face, Chu Zhiyi sneered inwardly.
He was fierce on the outside but timid on the inside, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and currying favor with the powerful. He would be a dog to whoever gave him bones.
In her previous life, he didn’t know that Liu was infertile. He thought she was his own daughter, but he extremely disliked her and called her a lowly seed.
Because of his and Liu’s attitude towards her, she was really sad for a while, feeling that it was her problem.
So she started to work hard.
After Feng Shi was reinstated, he really changed. He came to her, flattering, fawning, and asking for benefits.
That despicable face was disgusting.
Father doesn’t have to scare me with this kind of thing. If you don’t like me, I’ll just leave. I’ll go back to my border and continue robbing houses, anyway, I won’t starve to death. But father may be miserable. If you can’t hand over the person the higher-ups want, your Chu family will probably have their heads chopped off.
When Chu Zheng heard this, he realized that even though Feng Shi had been deposed, his birth mother was the Empress, and the Empress’s own brother guarded the Donglin Pass with an army of 400,000.
The eunuch Lan Huaiyu was even more powerful, holding 200,000 Suning Guards and the Ministry of Justice in his hands.
And he had heard rumors today that the Emperor would confer a title of nobility after Lan Huaiyu got married, making him extremely honorable.
He couldn’t afford to offend either of them.
Both sides had specified that they wanted their family’s daughter with special birthdates. If he couldn’t balance the situation, he would be considered disrespectful.
Thinking like this, a chill ran down his spine.
Adjusting his expression, he took a deep breath and said, You are father’s own daughter, how could father mistreat you? You and Miaomiao will get married at the same time, and you are both father’s daughters. The dowry will be equal, and you will never be wronged.
Chu Zhiyi thought for a while, But mother has already drafted the dowry list. I heard that the things given to me are all worthless, and there are even a few empty boxes to make up the numbers.
What? That ignorant woman! Don’t worry, father will have her redraft it right away.
She curved her eyebrows and smiled like a flower, Father is still the best. I feel a little sorry for father, not even having a son. Even pig farmers in the border area have to try their best to have sons to inherit the family business. Father doesn’t have a son, so your second and third uncles probably want to break their heads to inherit our family business.
Chu Zheng’s heart sank, and his anger towards Liu grew even greater.
Seeing Chu Zhiyi come out of the ancestral hall unscathed, the mother and daughter were surprised and suspicious.
Chu Zheng took Liu away directly with a straight face, while Chu Miaomiao stared at Chu Zhiyi with some suspicion. She was a little different from her in the previous life.
Seeing her gaze, Chu Zhiyi walked over.
Being slightly taller, she naturally looked down at her, Your dowry will not be more than mine by a single point, you daughter of a pig butcher.
…
It wasn’t until she walked away that Chu Miaomiao gritted her teeth and cursed with hatred in her eyes, Bitch!
Chu Zheng and Liu had the most intense quarrel in history.
Chu Zheng accused her of being a short-sighted woman who wanted to kill him, scolded her for mistreating her own daughter and not being worthy of being a mother.
He also scolded her for not being able to give birth to a son, making his Chu Zheng without an heir, and that she was the biggest sinner of the Chu family.
Liu also refused to give in, Now you I can’t give birth to a son? You didn’t say that when you used my dowry to buy an official position and return to the capital! You said that you would only have me as your wife for the rest of your life and would never take a concubine, swearing to the heavens and the earth. Have the words you said been eaten by dogs?!
You egg-laying hen, you still have the nerve to talk back? The chickens raised by others can still lay eggs even if they are not mated with roosters, you are not even a hen.
Chu Zheng, you ungrateful old dog, I’m going to fight you!
Liu rushed up like crazy and scratched, Chu Zheng dodged but his neck was caught and it was burning hot.
His anger surged, and he slapped Liu away.
Liu howled after being beaten, and Chu Zheng cursed again and went out.
He left the house directly with his entourage, heading straight for Rouge Lane!
