Getting rid of Liu Jizhen was the second proud thing in Zhou Miaoru's life.
The first thing is that she got her father's approval to take charge of the Zhou family.
But the first one is based on the second one.
That was twenty-four years ago. At that time, the dead girl in front of her was not born yet, and she never met Fu Shangqing.
The Zhou family wooed him in every possible way, but Liu Jizhen remained unmoved. Seeing him in a trance and his reputation soaring, if he didn't do anything else, the head of the family would fall into the hands of Master Yuwen.
This is unacceptable to the Zhou family. They have been in charge of Jiuyao Palace for many years, and they have too many secrets in their hands. If they change to a non-Zhou faction or even oppose them, there will be loopholes. Maybe, the secret of the Goddess Ruins will also be discovered—the head has reserved a quota for the Goddess Sacrifice, not afraid of 10,000 but just in case.
However, Master Yuwen is a very cunning person, and there is no chance to deal with him at all.
At that time, the Zhou family's main target was still on Master Yuwen, and no one thought about dealing with Liu Jizhen.
For one thing, Liu Jizhen's reputation as a martial arts genius grew from childhood to adulthood, and everyone subconsciously believed that the rise of Jiuyao Palace in the future would fall on him. Second, Liu Jizhen has a low-key personality and doesn't like to seize power. No one regards him as an enemy.
Zhou Miaoru was still Miss Zhou at the time. Although the head of Zhou doted on his daughter, because of her low qualifications, it was almost impossible to enter into a trance, so she didn't value her.
She is unwilling! Aptitude is innate, and she can't help it, but why, she can't be the helm of the Zhou family when there is no other candidate
If you want to be the helm of the Zhou family, you must have the corresponding ability. If she is in a trance, she will not count on it. She thinks that she is not inferior in her ability to handle affairs.
So, when other people's eyes were on Master Yuwen, Zhou Miaoru focused on Liu Jizhen. In her opinion, these people have not seen the essence, what is a Yuwen master? He is excellent, but compared to Liu Jizhen, he is much worse. And the influence of Yutai's lineage itself is not too strong.
Therefore, the key is still Liu Jizhen. As the fifteenth generation recognized elder brother, Liu Jizhen is too dazzling, he is willing to support Yuwen Shi, everyone thinks that Yuwen Shi is the right candidate.
What if Liu Ji is really gone? Without his support, Master Yuwen would not be important enough. If the Zhou family finds a suitable candidate, they will still be able to firmly hold the position of head.
Just do what she said, Zhou Miaoru immediately mobilized the resources of the Zhou family, taking advantage of Liu Jizhen's travels, she also went out to find opportunities.
For her, this move was a win but not a defeat—at that time, she was not valued, and her proposal would only be ignored, and she did it secretly without telling her father and using his seal to mobilize resources. If she wins, she will be forgiven for everything she has done, and her father will look at her differently. But if you lose, you will never want to stand up in the future, you can only be used as a tool for marriage, and obediently win over those people for the Zhou family.
Zhou Miaoru thought it was simple, but she realized how difficult it was when she started to do it. Who is Liu Jizhen? Twenty-four breakthrough trance, although surprising, but not very powerful. It is not uncommon for the disciples of the great sect to focus on impacting the realm, and it is not uncommon for twenty-five or six to enter trance. The reason why he became famous is not only the smooth breakthrough, but also the tyrannical swordsmanship.
How could it be so easy for such a person to find someone to plot against him? Just as outsiders guessed, to get rid of Liu Jizhen, he must be a famous master in a trance.
Which of the famous masters does not cherish feathers? Liu Ji is really a junior, and he has a good reputation outside. If he is plotted against him, it's fine if he is not known.
Besides, who can get rid of Liu Jizhen, who doesn't have a backer behind him? Is it necessary to covet the little reward that Zhou Miaoru offered
Liu Jizhen was traveling, and Zhou Miaoru was looking for someone, but they failed time and time again, and they couldn't even ask for help.
Just when Zhou Miaoru thought she was bound to fail, she met someone...
"Why, can't you remember?"
Lu Mingshu's icy voice brought Zhou Miaoru back to reality.
The corners of her mouth that were slightly upturned immediately pulled down.
She didn't speak, and didn't want to talk to her at all.
Lu Mingshu glanced at Aunt Yao who was standing beside her, but she said to Zhou Miaoru: "You don't think that I have no evidence, so I come to you?"
Zhou Miaoru was silent. Although she really wanted to talk about it and make herself happy for a while, when she thought of Fu Mingtang, there was nothing to talk about.
This dead girl is too ruthless. If she admits to this matter, who knows if she will attack Ming Tang for revenge? I have nothing left, and my daughter can't count on it, only this son. As long as Mingtang is fine, in a few years, maybe there is still a possibility of turning around.
Besides, she really didn't want this girl to be too proud. want to know? Hmph, why don't I say anything!
"Do you know why these rumors spread? Since the Goddess Festival, the entire Jiuyao Palace has been watching my face. They knew that I was not dealing with you, so they collected a lot of evidence against the Zhou family for me..." Lu Mingshu hooked The corner of his mouth curled up, "Someone collected the evidence of this incident and sent it to me."
Zhou Miaoru's eyes didn't move. Do you think you can trick her into admitting it
Lu Mingshu continued to look at Aunt Yao: "Besides, even if there is no evidence, I say you did it, who would dare to say otherwise? It is said that those who know current affairs are outstanding. We must seize the opportunity well. If I miss it, I will become self-willed, and I don’t even know what I will do.”
Zhou Miaoru sneered in her heart. Could it be that now that she knelt down and admitted her mistake, would she let her go? Her grandfather was killed by Zhou Yinru's anger, and the Zhou family will be responsible for this. Her mother was hit and killed in Jiulu Prefecture, and the Zhou family was still responsible. In the past ten years, she has been robbed of all resources and suppressed with all her strength. It is still the Zhou family's fault. With this girl's character of vengeance, will she be let off after pleading guilty? Stop dreaming!
Thinking of this, Zhou Miaoru became calm and relaxed. Is it really that easy to find evidence? She refused to plead guilty, so that the master and apprentice will always have this doubt in their hearts!
At this moment, Aunt Yao suddenly knelt down with a "plop", and said in a mournful voice: "Miss, this matter is due to madam's mistake, please hold your hand high!"
Zhou Miaoru froze for a moment, then looked at Aunt Yao in disbelief: "Ayao, you..."
Aunt Yao cried and begged sadly: "Miss, Madam did the right thing, but she didn't expect it to go so smoothly, please forgive her!" As she said, she poured her into the bamboo tube like a bean. The situation at the beginning and the things I did are all completely explained!
It took Zhou Miaoru a long time to come back to her senses. She was trembling with anger, pointing at Aunt Yao: "You, you eat inside and outside!"
Aunt Yao rushed over and hugged her thigh: "Ma'am! You can't hide this matter anymore, just admit it! This servant is thinking about you. Missy is magnanimous, maybe she can be punished lightly."
