Chu Zheng, who hadn’t been promoted in his original position for five years, was promoted. The day after his daughter was married off, he was promoted to the position of Supervising Secretary of the Ministry of Justice.
Seeing this, his colleagues, who had originally planned to die to remonstrate, were filled with jealousy and hatred, and were also afraid of his higher official position, causing chaos for a time.
The news of the promotion was sent back to the Chu family, and the housekeeper and servants were extremely happy.
Only Liu’s face sank. Chu Zheng, that old dog, had been promoted, and his back would be even straighter.
She had spent money to buy him an official position and pave the way for him in his early years, and he had probably forgotten all about it.
A servant quietly entered the door.
Liu said, Did you follow Master last night and see where he went?
That’s right, Chu Zheng went out again last night.
Reporting to Madam, this humble servant followed Master to Rouge Lane and personally saw Master enter a small mansion with vermilion doors. Master only came out of the small mansion this morning. This humble servant went over to check but didn’t sneak in, but only heard the voice of a young woman speaking inside.
Smash!
Liu smashed the teacup to the ground.
You old dog Chu, you’re really keeping a woman outside!
In her extreme anger, she quickly came up with a plan, Go to the market and hire a few hooligans, take some strong aphrodisiacs and have some fun with that bitch. After you’ve had enough fun, strip her naked and throw her at the door, so that the neighbors can have a good look at that bitch’s white flesh!
She threw a large bag of silver, and the servant took it and left.
Liu thought that this matter would definitely succeed, and that little bitch would definitely not survive.
But she didn’t expect that there was a fierce person in the small mansion with vermilion doors in Rouge Lane.
Three days of returning home.
The corpses of the old woman and the maids who had been killed by the assassins were loaded into a car, and they were sent back to the Chu family as promised.
Originally, Lan Huaiyu had prepared a very generous gift for the homecoming, but yesterday, after learning about Chu Zhiyi’s grievances, he immediately ordered people to move it back to the warehouse.
If he spent a penny on the Chu family, she would probably be unhappy.
Seeing that she was still wearing plain clothes today, Lan Huaiyu, who was tall and slender in a scarlet official uniform, thought for a moment and said, Why not wear some hair accessories? There are many high-quality items in the warehouse, go and pick some.
Looking at his face, which was much more ruddy, Chu Zhiyi was puzzled.
They had slept for two nights… no, they had slept in the same room for two nights, and his energy was obviously better.
His face no longer looked like he had been dead for three days, and he had a lively air. His thin lips had a rosy color, which made him even more handsome and noble.
How strange, this marriage for good luck thing was really effective?
I’m not used to wearing those things, it’s easy for me to throw them out as hidden weapons at any time.
It doesn’t matter. It’s inconvenient to carry hidden weapons with you, and it’s not easy to attract attention if you use jewelry instead.
…
Lan Huaiyu sent someone to the warehouse and brought back several large and heavy brocade boxes.
After opening them, Chu Zhiyi felt that her pupils had changed color from the glare.
In her previous life, she knew that he was the number one greedy person in Dayan, and she had evidence, but not much. This time, she had caught the evidence.
These things were obviously tributes, used as rewards when the emperor was in a good mood, but he casually took a bunch of them from the warehouse.
Seeing that she only looked but didn’t move, Lan Huaiyu selected a set based on her clothes today.
Hair accessories, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and a small and cute pendant that could be hung on the belt.
When using them as hidden weapons, it is not recommended to pull on the earrings, as you may accidentally damage your own ears. It is more convenient to take the others at will.
He even gave her advice.
Chu Zhiyi suddenly felt that the Lan Huaiyu in front of her was very novel, and very different from her previous life.
Listening to him, she put on that set. Good things were good things. Looking at the extremely rare three-colored jade bracelet on her wrist, she had to crush this thing and scatter it as a hidden weapon…
She couldn’t quite bring herself to do it.
Eunuch, just be busy with your own affairs. I don’t need the Eunuch to accompany me on my homecoming today. If he went, Chu Zheng’s tail would probably be raised to the sky.
Lan Huaiyu nodded slightly, his brown eyes gentle, I’m going to confiscate someone’s home today, I really don’t have time to go back with you.
…
In her previous life, he always did the work of confiscating homes.
The Ministry of Justice was in charge of the officials who committed crimes in Dayan, and if they fell into his hands, their nine clans would be wiped out.
Many of the wings of Fengshi’s empress’s party were uprooted by him. If she hadn’t appeared in disguise as Yingfeng at that time and gradually grasped the power of the empress’s brother’s 400,000 troops, they would have all entered the Ministry of Justice to be skinned and stuffed with straw!
Returning to the Chu family, she didn’t bring any gifts except for a carload of corpses.
In addition to Xiaochun and Xiaomei, there were also four maids from the mansion following her.
Xiaochun and Xiaomei were promoted to first-class maids, but after all, they were used to doing rough work, and they couldn’t change it for a while.
They learned from the four maids. Don’t look at the servants in the mansion who usually had a straight face and looked very arrogant, they were actually very enthusiastic.
Chu family.
Chu Miaomiao had returned early. She knew that Chu Zhiyi would definitely not return home today, but the Eunuch’s Mansion would definitely send someone over to give an explanation.
She wanted to hear the news of that wild girl being disfigured and going crazy as soon as possible.
Just thinking about it, a smile appeared on her lips, but when she moved her body, the whip wounds on her body hurt, and the corners of her mouth fell again.
Liu was talking about how Chu Zheng, that old dog, probably had someone outside when she caught sight of Chu Miaomiao actually laughing there.
Although she quickly suppressed the smile, it was clear that she was laughing at herself in her heart.
Liu’s hatred and anger surged, she was really an ingrate!
Sister probably won’t come until this hour. I heard that there were assassins in the Eunuch’s Mansion on the night of the wedding. Did sister suffer as a result?
There’s such a thing?
Liu also forgot about the ingrate, and was overjoyed. Was it really God opening his eyes and solving her so quickly?
I also heard about it. The Eunuch probably doesn’t want to spread such a big thing, so the specific situation is not very clear.
My poor daughter, she was destined not to enjoy wealth and glory, and she was gone as soon as she was gone!
…
Chu Miaomiao was a little speechless. She didn’t say that she was dead, but Liu was really heartless and didn’t want her to be well.
Just as Liu was wondering if she should happily hang white gauze and set up a memorial tablet, Tao Mama came in to report, Madam, the Eldest Miss has arrived.
Did she walk in?
Or was she carried in horizontally…
Tao Mama was stunned for a moment, Of course she walked in. And…
Liu was extremely disappointed when she heard this. Chu Miaomiao was also disappointed and shocked. Hadn’t that wild girl been locked up?
Just then, a group of people arrived. Chu Zhiyi was dressed in green and otherworldly, with a delicate and unique hairpin in her well-groomed woman’s bun. There was no jewelry, but it still felt expensive and priceless.
Chu Miaomiao saw her smooth and uninjured face at a glance, and her eyes widened, How is that possible? She should have been disfigured.
The wound was so deep that the bone was visible, from the corner of her eye to her jawbone, like a baby’s open mouth, and because it was stitched up, it eventually left a large purple-red centipede scar.
Why wasn’t it there?
Liu covered up the disappointment on her face, Hearing Miaomiao say that there were assassins in the Eunuch’s Mansion on the night of the wedding, the Eunuch didn’t send anyone to notify us about such a big thing. I was so scared when I just found out.
Chu Zhiyi raised her hand, deliberately revealing the three-colored jade bracelet on her wrist, and affectedly adjusted the hairpin in her hair.
Sure enough, she saw Liu and Chu Miaomiao’s eyes following the jewelry on her body, with jealousy, hatred, and surprise.
Your news is quite well-informed. Something did happen and I was almost affected, but the dowry that Mother personally selected was too loyal to protect the master. They did their best to protect me and then they all died.
What?!
Liu’s eyes widened, and then she saw a group of people carrying five corpses into the courtyard and placing them in a row!
