"I'm afraid your Majesty still doesn't know about this... such a big thing..."
Eunuch Min said hesitantly, and looked at the great elder and others again.
"Is this matter settled?"
"The contract has been written, and with so many people witnessing it, it is naturally settled. Don't worry, Eunuch Min, I will personally explain the matter to Your Majesty some other day."
Eunuch Min couldn't help but sigh when he saw that no one in the Chu family had opened his mouth to explain. He knew that there was really no room for change in this matter.
Unexpectedly, the Chu family loser who was rumored to be timid, humble, and allowed to be bullied by others was actually such a decisive and bold person!
Cutting off ties with the Chu family is equivalent to creating a formidable enemy for oneself!
But now that Chu Ning is the President of the Imperial Guard, and Chu Liuyue is a genius that everyone envies, the Chu family must not dare to do anything openly.
Eunuch Min was always the best at being a good person. He quickly put away what he was thinking, cupped his hands towards Chu Liuyue, and said with a smile:
"Then first, congratulations to Mr. Chu Ning and Miss Liu Yue on their move! We still have things to do at home, so we will go back first."
Chu Liuyue knew that he did not want to get involved and followed the good path:
"Eunuch Min, walk slowly."
Eunuch Min then said goodbye to the Great Elder and others, and left quickly.
Chu Liuyue didn't stay long and turned around to leave.
Just as she took a step forward, she suddenly remembered something and turned back and said:
"By the way, I heard that many people in the imperial capital have sent congratulatory gifts to your mansion. These should all be for me. Please send them as well."
After saying that, he turned around and left easily without looking at the expressions on those people's faces.
The Great Elder stared at Chu Liuyue's back, wishing he could immediately step forward and teach her a lesson!
But in the end he still held back and shouted angrily:
"Go home!"
boom!
After everyone entered, the Chu family door was closed tightly!
However, this big gossip that happened in the Chu family immediately spread throughout the entire imperial capital!
…
"Great Elder, this Chu Liuyue is really bullying others! If we don't repay today's humiliation, how can our Chu family gain a foothold in the imperial capital!?"
After returning to the mansion, the Great Elder left only the few people with the most say in the Chu family to discuss together.
Chu Yan was the first to speak, with an angry look on her face.
The great elder looked gloomy and said nothing.
"That's right! Even if she is admitted to Tianlu College, this is too arrogant! If she dares to do this now, I don't know what she will do in the future!"
"If we do nothing this time and just admit it, everyone in the imperial capital will say that the Chu family is a coward! This tone is absolutely intolerable!"
"Hmph, does Chu Liuyue think that she can live a stable life without the Chu family? If she is not allowed to see it, she really thinks that we can't do anything to her!"
Several people present were talking a lot, and the crowd was excited, as if they wanted to let Chu Liuyue know how powerful he was right away.
The third elder shook his head and said calmly:
"Don't forget, she also has Chu Ning."
Several people were suddenly speechless.
The President of the Guards... Chu Ning is indeed in trouble now!
"...So what? Can Chu Ning really compete with our entire Chu family?"
Chu Yan smiled sinisterly, with a trace of cruelty flashing in her eyes.
"In the imperial capital, several forces are intertwined. Chu Ning and Chu Liuyue seem to have turned around this time, but how can things be so simple? Since they dare to break with us, they must have the courage to bear the consequences!"
These words made the great elder's eyes light up. He hesitated for two steps and finally made up his mind:
"That's right! Didn't Chu Liuyue say that he would hold a banquet to celebrate? I would like to see how many people in the imperial capital will go!"
…
Chu Liuyue went to the new house alone.
She solved a few things today and she was in a good mood.
It was already evening, and the breeze was blowing, raising her black hair.
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched her shadow very long.
She walked like this step by step, in a rare leisurely manner.
A month after her rebirth, she had been nervously planning everything, but today she was finally able to relax a little.
The surrounding noise gradually disappeared and became quiet.
She looked up and could already see the blue eaves of the new house.
She previously sold the title deed of the hunting ground for 300,000 taels of silver, of which 100,000 was used to buy this house.
This place is the West Street of the Imperial Capital. It is very remote and quiet. Most dignitaries would not like this place, but Chu Liuyue took a fancy to it.
She had lived in beautiful but cold palaces in her previous life, but now that she was reborn, she really had no interest in them at all.
On the contrary, it was this clean place that she liked even more.
Thinking that from now on, she and Chu Ning would be able to live their own lives away from the Chu family, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
Suddenly, something fell on her face, which was slightly cold.
Chu Liuyue was stunned and looked up.
The water droplets fell rapidly and quickly formed a line.
—It’s raining!
Chu Liuyue quickened his pace.
Walk forward and around the corner, onto a bluestone road, and at the end is her new home—
However, after turning the corner, Chu Liuyue was stunned.
I saw a person standing in front of the gate of a house at the end of the quaint bluestone road.
He is tall and tall, wearing a snow-white brocade robe and a black cloak.
The sky quickly changed to gray-blue, and the rain poured down, as if a transparent rain curtain hung between the sky and the earth.
The rain fell on the bluestone, splashing a layer of light white mist, making the scene in front of him a little blurry.
However, his noble and noble outline is still clearly distinguishable.
The two colors of black and white set off his jade-like clear and deserted face, like a flower on the high mountain that can only be looked up at.
It turned out to be...
Rong Xiu
Just as a question flashed through Chu Liuyue's mind, she saw the man suddenly walking towards her.
The sky was dark, and under the flowing rain, he seemed to come from the darkness.
Somehow, Chu Liuyue felt that Rong Xiu seemed a little different from usual.
She couldn't help but watch him approach step by step.
Finally, he walked to Chu Liuyue and stood still.
"you-"
Chu Liuyue spoke hesitantly.
Wow!
Rong Xiu suddenly raised his hand, a black shadow flashed past, and the rain above Chu Liuyue's head was suddenly separated.
But...he held up a black umbrella for her.
Chu Liuyue looked up at him and met his gaze.
Those deep eyes were like the bottomless darkness of the night.
"Yue'er."
His voice was cold and ethereal, with a hint of subtle care.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
