Chapter 138 How to Meet the Ancestors
Lord Chu was thrown out of the palace and walked on the street in a daze.
Just arrived at the Chu family’s gate.
When he looked up, his door was sealed.
Lord Chu could no longer hold back, he rushed forward and desperately pulled the lock on the door,
"Who did this? I will regain my title one day. Who dares to do this to me?"
Unable to pull the lock, Lord Chu slammed the door with his hands, "Open the door, open the door for me!"
He couldn't accept it and turned around and went to the South House.
He wanted Nan Chuzheng to send someone to open the door of the Chu family for him.
As a result, as soon as he rushed to the door of Nan's house, he was stopped by the servants of the Nan family.
"You still dare to come?"
The servant of the Nan family waved his hand and hit Lord Chu in the face.
Several of Lord Chu's teeth were broken. He staggered a few steps and fell to the ground, his mouth full of blood.
"The eldest lady has already said that she doesn't want to see you and your Chu family anymore."
"Who told you Chu family members to always spy on our South Residence?"
The servants of the Nan family had long been fed up with the Chu family's sneaky behavior.
In the Nan family’s old house, if there were any sneaky people nearby who were monitoring the Nan family.
I don’t know how many times I died.
However, in the imperial capital, they had to endure the Chu family, and they were inevitably watched by the Chu family's servants whenever they entered or left.
In the end, everyone couldn't stand it anymore. They were afraid that if this continued, they would not be able to resist and dig out the eyes of the servants of the Chu family.
So the door is usually closed.
The door is only opened when the masters come in and out. When the servants come in and out, they are too lazy to open or close the door. They just climb over the wall or crawl through a dog hole.
So look at what the Chu family has done to the servants of the Nan family.
The eldest lady gave an order to seal the Chu family's gate facing the street, which really made everyone happy.
Lord Chu was beaten so hard that he didn't even have the strength to curse. He just fell down with his eyes rolled back.
The servants of the Nan family cursed him for bad luck and threw Lord Chu into the Chu family, and never cared about him again.
When Lord Chu woke up, he held on for a breath.
"I want to report to the police!"
He couldn't stand it anymore. His adopted daughter stole his family's money, and his biological daughter sealed the door of his house.
Lord Chu will never get justice unless he reports to the authorities.
But the servants of the Chu family hesitated and said,
"Master, when we sealed the door, we actually reported it to the authorities."
The servants of the Chu family had never encountered such a thing, and the master of the family was useless.
Naturally someone will report it to the police.
"When the military department heard that the one who sealed our family was a servant from the South Mansion, they didn't care."
The Bingmasi is responsible for ensuring the safe and stable life of the residents of the imperial capital. They are not on the same side as the Yamasi.
The servant's words made Lord Chu beat his chest and stamp his feet.
"What a sin, what a sin."
"Master, it's time to pay the monthly salary again."
The servant stammered and looked at Lord Chu with anticipation and vigilance.
I heard that the Chu family has no money left, and the Marquis was beaten like this by the servants of the Nan family.
"This month's moon silver..."
Lord Chu couldn't help but gasp for breath a few times, his heart felt stuffy and anxious.
"Go and call the lady over."
Zhou soon arrived at the place of Marquis Chu. She looked coldly at the man lying on the bed, who looked dispirited and seemed to have aged a lot.
She did not speak.
"There is no money left in the house now."
Lord Chu reached out and held Zhou's hand.
"I know you've always been frugal, so you must have a lot of money left over. Take some out and give it to your servants as their monthly wages."
"When I have money, I will pay you back many times over."
Zhou pulled back her hand and said expressionlessly,
"But sir, I don't have any money left. Chu Jingyue has taken all my money away."
Lord Chu said anxiously,
"No, you still have some. You still have a lot of jewelry. You can sell some of it."
Zhou, who was sitting beside the bed, stood up with a sneer.
"Master, what are you talking about? If those jewels are sold, how will a woman like me survive from now on?"
Her son is not around, her daughter doesn't recognize her, and now all she has left is a little money in the bottom of her box.
Could it be that this man would not even let her go of this?
Lord Chu coughed as he spoke.
"Isn't it enough for me to promise you that I will treat you well from now on, cherish you, and love you more?"
Zhou thought what Lord Chu said was ridiculous.
She actually laughed.
"Master, I really don't believe a word you say."
"Why do you suppose that is?"
"Because in my mind, you are now a scum who would abandon even his own daughter for Zhou Mingzhu."
"You even deceived me for so many years, forcing me to raise the daughter of my enemy. Master, you deceived me so miserably."
Zhou wouldn't believe a single word such a scum said.
She turned and left, "Master, just take good care of it."
"Zhou Mingzhu will be back soon anyway. Then the master can ask her for the money he has spent raising Chu Jingyue for all these years."
Lord Chu coughed desperately and finally spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Ms. Zhou, you and I have been married for so many years, are you really not going to show any affection at all?"
"This is your home too. If the Chu family collapses, can you still go back to the Zhou family?"
His words successfully made Zhou stop.
Yes, just as Lord Chu said, even if Zhou hates him, this is still her home.
There was no way she could go back to the Zhou family.
"Master, if you don't have that much money, don't run such a big place."
"Since there is no money to pay the servants monthly wages, why not sell off the extra servants?"
“It also saves so much extra monthly expenses.”
Lord Chu said angrily, "How can this be possible?"
His mansion had been glorious for a hundred years, but if there were not enough servants to support it, it would become shabby.
What if the Chu family rises in the future and there is a shortage of manpower at home?
"I disagree."
Zhou shook her sleeves and said, "Then it's up to you."
As long as the Chu family mansion is there, she will have a place to live and can live until Zhou Mingzhu returns.
As for the rest, Zhou didn't care at all.
"Zhou, Zhou!"
Lord Chu called out to Zhou with an anxious look on his face.
However, his wife had been managing the Chu family for decades.
Just leave him so decisively.
Lord Chu could not bear the repeated blows.
His eyes went dark and he fainted again.
Chu family, Chu family.
The Chu family is the lifeblood of Lord Chu.
He had promised his ancestors that he would make the Chu family prosper and recover from its decline.
But now, the Chu family is about to be destroyed by his generation.
Lord Chu couldn't accept it, otherwise how would he face his ancestors a hundred years later?
The servant who was waiting beside Lord Chu took a look at him and found that he was unconscious.
They looked at each other and exchanged a look.
The two men entered the house, picked up the vase and other things in the room, and quietly left the room.
These things can still be sold for some money.
