During the break, Mrs. Hou talked about this matter with Lord Shen. Lord Shen was surprised for a while when he heard that it was his granddaughter's suggestion, but he did not feel that his granddaughter was being rebellious.

After thinking for a while, Mr. Shen also agreed to this method. In fact, he had disliked Zhou Yang for a long time. If he really didn't want to marry, then just refuse. He didn't use his power to force him.

As a result, one side agreed to marry her daughter, but the other side felt that they had separated him from true love, haha, hypocrisy.

Didn't he just want to use the power of the Hou Mansion to climb up, but he was not as good as he wanted, and he also asked his daughter to take a good look at who she was interested in. Zhou Yang would treat Shen like this without resorting to the Hou Mansion. Reasons for power.

You must know that Zhou Yang and Shen were on good terms for a while when they first got married. Things got worse after Zhou Yang found out that the Hou family really didn't care about their daughter. Unfortunately, his daughter was lame and didn't know the role of her mother's family in her.

It can only be said that Mrs. Shen is too stupid. If she realized Zhou Yang's true nature, then she could easily hold Zhou Yang in her hands instead of being rubbed and crushed by Zhou Yang.

It was not easy for Mr. Shen to punish Zhou Yang. He didn't need any tricks and tricks. He could just hand over some of Zhou Yang's illegal and criminal matters. That's right, Zhou Yang was dismissed and investigated.

Zhou Yang also wanted Mr. Shen to come to him for help, but Mr. Shen told him the truth bluntly:

"Forget it Qingqing, I can't care if she insists on marrying you, but you should never let your concubine harm my granddaughter."

And this is what Chu Wen asked for. As for the original owner's father, Chu Wen saw clearly that he and Shen were actually the same kind of people. They were both selfish and knew that her official career was ruined by her favorite daughter. , will definitely resent her.

This is Chu Wen's revenge on Zhou Yuanyuan. What could be more painful than being hated and ostracized by the father who loves him the most?

Sure enough, after Zhou Yang returned, he became furious with Zhou Yuanyuan and even slapped her. Even the cousin who begged for mercy was scolded and said that she would not teach her daughter.

Li knew who Zhou Yang was better than Shen, and naturally knew that Zhou Yang was really angry this time. If he could not resume his official career, he might lose favor, so he asked Zhou Yang to encourage Shen to go to the Marquis Mansion to cause trouble.

Zhou Yang would do it without her asking, so Shen received Zhou Yang's considerate love for a few days. She was so happy that she went to the Hou Mansion to intercede.

Mrs. Hou was really disappointed with her, but she still told her the idea that Chu Wen came up with. Shen hesitated. It had to be said that this idea really hit Shen's Achilles' heel and made her I have to be moved.

Seeing through her thoughts, Mrs. Hou added fuel to the fire, "Don't you want Zhou Yang to be yours alone?" Mrs. Shen was completely moved.

With Shen's cooperation, Chu Wen's plan went smoothly. Lord Shen also improved the plan. During this time, Chu Wen took Zhou Zhenzhen to study together.

In addition to the music, chess, calligraphy, painting and housekeeping skills that all women in ancient boudoirs learned, she also specifically asked Mrs. Hou to find a doctor to teach her medicine.

Her excuse was: "Life was not easy for women in ancient times. If we didn't master some medicine, we would be like my mother who didn't even know someone had tampered with her. My sister and I would have been born with deficiencies since birth."

In fact, even if she didn't say this, Mrs. Hou would agree. Generally, noble girls from aristocratic families will learn some medicine, especially spices that are incompatible with some medicinal materials. After all, when a girl from an aristocratic family gets married, she will be the mistress of the family.

Not to mention your own food, if you hold a banquet at home, you need to know which dishes can be served together and which cannot be served together. Otherwise, what will happen if something goes wrong at the banquet?

It's just that Chu Wen studied more deeply. Chu Wen devoted himself to studying, but the Zhou family was not peaceful.

Zhou Yang lost his official position, and his family's property was suppressed one after another. The Zhou family was accustomed to spending extravagantly, and soon they could not make ends meet.

But Mrs. Shen, who had always been obedient, actually became tough and asked her to pay, but she had to leave all the housekeeping in her hands, and then separated Aunt Li and Aunt Zhou.

Of course Zhou Yang's parents didn't agree. After all, Aunt Li's two sons were the only sons of the Zhou family. But this time, Mrs. Shen didn't care whether they agreed or not.

She had a dowry, and even the house they lived in was her dowry. The Zhou family was originally an ordinary city family. They lived in the capital, but had no shops or fields. They made money by working or setting up a small stall. It can be said that they completely relied on

Zhou Yang rose up.

To be precise, they relied on the Shen family's dowry. Now that the Shen family wanted to take back their dowry, they had no choice. After all, in ancient times, the dowry was the private property of the woman. If the woman did not have the support of her natal family, they could find a way to take it back.

The dowry has been swallowed up, but now the man's family is in decline, while the woman's family is still very powerful.

Zhou Yuanyuan had no idea how things turned out like this. First, her father died, and now she was kicked out of the Zhou family.

Yes, in the end, the Zhou family agreed to the Shen family's request and separated the Li family and the Zhou family. So what about true love? When there is no food to eat, true love can be abandoned casually. Otherwise, why did Zhou Yang want to

Marry Shen instead of Li.

Chu Wen was not surprised at all when she heard the news. This result had been expected by her. In fact, if the original owner had not valued the relationship between mother and daughter too much and looked away earlier, she would have done this, and nothing would have happened later.

Already.

Chu Wen stopped caring about the Zhou family's affairs. Without the Zhou family and the money provided by Shen's dowry, they could only make money on their own, believing that life would give them a hard blow.

Rather than doing it herself, Chu Wen wanted to see them being tortured by life and haggard for their livelihood.

"Sister, should we go home?" Zhou Zhenzhen also asked after hearing what happened at home.

"Do you want to go back?" Chu Wen asked.

"I don't want to." Zhou Zhenzhen shook her head quickly. She felt that it was very good here and she didn't want to go back to Zhou's house at all.

"Then stay here." Chu Wen said with a firm tone, which immediately made Zhou Zhenzhen feel relieved.

They are not in the Hou Mansion now, but in a separate courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing. They moved here before Zhou Yang resigned from office. After all, if they were still living in the Hou Mansion, there would definitely be a lot of gossip.

Words such as those who dislike the poor and love the rich will definitely be directed at the two sisters. Chu Wen herself is not afraid, but Zhou Zhenzhen is not, especially when she looks like this.

Therefore, even if Mrs. Hou disagreed, she still convinced her. Well, in fact, this was Chu Wen's purpose from the beginning. After all, although the Hou Mansion is good, it is not her own house.

This Zhuangzi is Shen's dowry, but now it has been transferred to Chu Wen's name. In addition to this, there is a shop, and Zhou Zhenzhen also owns it. It is regarded as the dowry of the two of them, and it was obtained from Shen in advance.

Why did Chu Wen want to help Shen? It was to get this from her. Only with her own property could she develop.
