Chu Li's steps couldn't help but stagnate, "What do you mean?" ”

There are only six sons alive under the emperor's knees, except for Chu Li himself, the fifth prince Chu Heng, and the crown prince Chu Zheng, the remaining three, Chu Li has never cared.

The sixth prince Chu Yu is full of mouths, and he is obsessed with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, although he is an adult, he has never participated in court politics, and he has not even received a false position. And the eighth prince Chu Ming, from the palace maid, has never been smart, he is fifteen years old, but he is still dumbfounded, like a fool. The Nine Emperor Princes died before they reached adulthood, and although they had ordered their teeth, they had already turned into bones. Chu Qi, the youngest tenth prince, is still young, no more than five years old, and a little child, which is even less worthy of attention.

But Zhou Jinzhi deliberately mentioned other princes, which made Chu Li can't help but wonder, who is also secretly competing for the throne? Is it the sixth Chu Yu who seems to be clear, or the stupid old Chu Ming, or the tenth Chu Qi using his young age as a cover, but in fact, he has already secretly planned to seize the throne?

The more peaceful the person on the bright side may be the person who plans the deepest in secret, and Chu Li has a deep understanding of this. Isn't that true of him himself? He never revealed his thoughts, and in front of the emperor and courtiers, he has always carefully maintained his image of a humble and polite gentle gentleman, and never showed his ambitions in the open.

If he will do this, so can other princes......

Chu Li desperately wanted to know who Zhou Jinzhi was talking about, but Zhou Jinzhi obviously wouldn't let him get his wish. Zhou Jinzhi clasped his hands into fists and saluted, and said lightly to Chu Li: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince walks slowly, don't send it." ”

When he spoke, the corners of Zhou Jinzhi's mouth still had a smile that seemed to be nothing. This smile fell in Chu Li's eyes, only to feel that it was a bright mockery. He seemed to be saying, "You want to know?" I won't tell you.

Chu Liqi's desires are smoking, "Zhou ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Jinzhi, "Your Highness just said it, and you won't take Zhou seriously." ”

It was the same rhetoric just now, why did you change your mind in a blink of an eye? The implication is that if Chu Li asks again, wouldn't he be slapping himself up.

Chu Li's face was very ugly, Zhou Jinzhi did it on purpose, he deliberately provoked his suspicions, but he wanted to hang him.

Chu Li is not an unbearable person, for the sake of the great cause, he can forbear, but Zhou Jinzhi is too much. Obviously he is a minister, but he wants to be above him, how is this possible!

Chu Li couldn't lower his head, and he couldn't swallow this breath, Zhou Jinzhi didn't say anything, he checked it himself. After thinking about it, Chu Li left without looking back, and didn't look at Zhou Jin again.

Zhou Jinzhi also didn't look at Chu Li, and let him brush his sleeves away.

Suddenly, Zhou Jinzhi's face changed slightly, his footsteps teleported, and at the same time, he used his hand as a claw to grab the door violently......

The person outside the door was directly choked by the neck, and his hand was loosened, and then a crisp breaking sound sounded.

"Husband...... Husband...... Be...... I'm ......," Xue said with difficulty.

Seeing that it was his wife Xue, Zhou Jinzhi's strength was relieved a little, but he didn't let go, and said coldly: "What are you doing here?" How much have you just heard? ”

Xue Shi hurriedly shook his head, "I didn't hear anything, I just arrived." The concubine heard that her husband had guests here, so she was afraid that she would be neglected, so she personally brought tea over. ”

Forgive her for not daring to talk nonsense, besides, Zhou Jinzhi did just notice that there was someone outside the door, so the Xue family should not be lying. Zhou Jinzhi's hand left Xue's neck at this time.

cough cough cough ......

Xue coughed again and again, but he didn't slow down.

"From now on, you are not allowed to come to the study without my permission." Zhou Jinzhi said.

When Xue Shi heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly explained, "Husband, the concubine won't disturb her husband, can't she just send some refreshments to her husband?" ”

Zhou Jinzhi's face was serious, "No." ”

"Husband ......"

Before Xue finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Jinzhi, "Although you are from a businessman, you have learned the rules, and you should understand the truth of marrying a husband." If you don't listen, then you will go back to your Xue family. ”

Hearing this, Xue's face turned pale instantly, if she didn't listen, then wait for the letter of resignation.

"Husband, the concubine body does not dare, the concubine body listens to you." said yes, tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes, Xue's was extremely aggrieved, but it was just a trivial matter, and Zhou Jinzhi said that he was going to divorce her.

"Alright, you can go." Zhou Jinzhi turned his back and stopped looking at Xue, he didn't like crying women, even if this person was his wife.

Xue has been married to Zhou Jinzhi for five years, and what he is thinking in his heart, Xue can't figure it out, but there is one thing she knows very well, that is, Zhou Jinzhi has always spoken consistently. She had no choice but to be submissive.

Xue covered his mouth, ran back to his room with tears, and only when he returned to the room did he lie on the table, crying.

"Madam, didn't you go to bring tea to the master, why did you cry?" Her nurse Zhang saw her crying like this, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Nurse, woo woo ......" Xue threw himself into Zhang's arms and cried.

Zhang didn't know why, so he had to comfort her in a soft voice, "My good young lady, don't cry, what's going on, tell the nurse, and the nurse will help you come up with ideas." ”

Under Zhang's comfort, Xue gradually stopped crying, the most uncomfortable feeling in her heart had not disappeared, she was still sobbing, she sobbed while telling Fang Cai about it.

When Zhang heard this, his face immediately darkened, "How can the master be like this!" Serious housewife, why can't she enter the study? I still want to divorce you, my lord is too much. Although the Xue family is a merchant, it is also an imperial businessman, the master can prosper in official fortune, and the Xue family has also contributed, but now he still wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge? ”

"Nurse, be quiet." Xue hurriedly tugged at the corner of Zhang's clothes and motioned her to be quiet, so as not to be heard.

Xue sighed, "Nurse, tell you, I have persuaded a lot in my heart, just listen to it, but don't talk nonsense, if your husband hears it, it will be over." ”

Zhang obviously didn't agree with Xue's words, she said with a straight face: "Madam, you haven't done anything wrong, what are you afraid of?" ”

"What am I afraid of?" Xue smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid that the master will divorce me." ”

"Divorced you? How is this possible! Zhang hurriedly took over, "Madam, think about it, the Xue family is rich, and you also have a lot of silver in your hand, and your dowry is much thicker than that of the family in the house." If you want to be promoted and make a fortune, you don't have to rely on the money in your hand. ”

Xue's tear-stained face was covered with bitterness, "That was before. ”

"My husband used to take some money from me, but he gave it back to me for the past two years. It seems that there is not much silver in the house, but I don't know how much silver my husband has in his hand. ”

In the end, it is a couple who share the same bed, Xue vaguely felt that Zhou Jinzhi must have another private money, how much it is, she doesn't know, but the woman's feeling tells her that Zhou Jinzhi has a lot of money in his private treasury.

"Although the Xue family is an imperial businessman, it is also by relying on the official family to successfully obtain the qualification of the imperial businessman. If I make my husband unhappy, what if my husband is angry and revokes the Xue family's imperial business qualifications? Don't forget, the husband works in the household department. ”

Xue's words, the Zhang family was speechless, and the Zhang family always remembered that when the Xue family first got married, Zhou Jinzhi got bad benefits from the Xue family, but ignored what the current Zhou Jinzhi was.

"Ma'am, what will you do in the future? The lord can even say such words as you after taking a break, and I am afraid that your life will not be easy in the future. Zhang sighed as he spoke.

Xue also sighed, "What can I do?" I can only be obedient, my husband doesn't like anyone to disobey him the most, I am a woman's family, and it doesn't hurt to obey my husband in everything. There's just one ......"

Xue's expression suddenly became a little more serious, "I don't want to be the same as the Yang family in the Jingbei Hou Mansion, I am the wife of the main house who is marrying the husband and Ming Media, I used to be, I am now, and I will be the same in the future, in the Zhou Mansion, no woman is allowed to cross me." ”

Hearing this, Zhang pondered for a moment, and then nodded, "Madam, you are right. Although our lord has a bad temper, it is good that he is not close to women, and there are no other goblins in the house to fight with you. The family property earned by the master will all belong to you and the future young master in the future. ”

Xue touched his stomach and said regretfully: "It's just that my stomach is not angry, it's been several years, and I haven't heard from me at all." ”
