The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 772 I'm Already Looking for a Son-in-Law

The news that Zhong Yixiu was looking for a son-in-law came out two days later.

In the past two days, it has been confirmed that Zhong Xingyun drugged his daughter and manipulated rumors.

In addition, many of the bad things that happened to him since he entered the court as an official were also dug up.

For most of the court officials, they actually have a few unclear matters under their control. This would not be a big deal under normal circumstances, but now that Zhong Xingyun has a bad reputation, naturally everyone will blame him.

Many people in the court submitted memorials to impeach him, and all the previous events were dug up.

Zhong family backyard.

When Zhong Yixiu arrived at the yard where Zhong Xingyun was, Zhong Xingyun had just woken up from a hangover.

He was very worried during these two days, and Zhong Yixiu ordered people to send him a lot of wine, so he got drunk.

He had just come to his senses a little, and his face suddenly turned dark when he saw Zhong Yixiu coming over.

"How dare you come to see your father!"

"Why should I be ashamed? After all, I wasn't the one who poisoned." Zhong Yixiu looked at Zhong Xingyun.

Perhaps it was because the look was too indifferent that the remaining drunkenness in Zhong Xingyun suddenly dissipated a lot.

"I did this for the Zhong family, but you are stubborn and stubborn. Not only do you oppose me everywhere, but now you are on the side of Shen Yanxi and Jiang Suining. You even went to the Golden Palace to sue me. You are really disobedient!"

At this point, Zhong Xingyun became furious again. He stumbled to his feet, walked in front of Zhong Yixiu, and raised his hand to hit her again.

But this time, Zhong Yixiu grabbed his wrist firmly.

Under normal circumstances, there would be a huge gap in strength, but Zhong Xingyun was drunk in the past two days and his strength was not enough at the moment. He wanted to pull his hand back but failed.

"Let go, you rebellious girl!"

Zhong Xingyun increased his strength once again, and Zhong Yixiu actually let go of him, but she dodged, and Zhong Xingyun failed to slap her in the face. Instead, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Looking at Zhong Xingyun who fell down in a mess, Zhong Yixiu did not lend a hand to help him, but just looked at him coldly from above.

"Father, do you know that many people in the court are impeaching you now? All the things you did before have become your crimes."

Zhong Xingyun trembled, "I, what did I do? I didn't do anything!"

"Father has worked hard to climb up the career ladder over the years, and now he has finally reached the position of Minister of Rites. Are you really sure that everything you do is in accordance with the rules and without any mistakes?"

Zhong Xingyun's face darkened and he struggled to get up. "I want to go to the palace to see the emperor. I must not let those people take advantage of my misfortune. I..."

"You are now under house arrest in the Zhong family. How can you enter the palace without the emperor's order?"

Zhong Yixiu's words once again irritated Zhong Xingyun, and he turned his head and glared at her fiercely.

"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have turned out like this!"

He is the Minister of Rites. He has spent so much effort and endured so many years to get to this position. Now he has fallen into this situation, all because of his daughter!

Zhong Xingyun's eyes turned red, with murderous intent rising in his eyes. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhong Yixiu's neck.

"It's all your fault. I should have strangled you to death!"

The force in his hands increased, and Zhong Yixiu's face suddenly changed.

When Zhong's mother, who was hiding outside the door, saw this, she rushed in immediately.

"Master, what are you doing? Let Yi Xue go!"

She hurried forward and tried to pull Zhong Xingyun away, but was pushed to the ground by Zhong Xingyun.

"Bitch, don't think you can get away with it. Wait until I strangle this rebellious girl to death and then I'll settle the score with you!" Zhong Xingyun's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and the strength in his hands increased again, it was obvious that he was completely determined to kill her.

Mother Zhong was extremely panicked and quickly begged for mercy, "Master, no matter what, Yixue is your biological daughter. Now she is our only daughter. If anything happens to her, what will we do!"

However, Zhong Xingyun's eyes were already red with anger, so how could he possibly listen?

Zhong Yixiu grabbed her father's hand tightly, her nails digging into the back of his hand. Zhong Xingyun felt pain, and the strength in his hand finally weakened a little.

Taking advantage of this brief opportunity to catch her breath, Zhong Yixiu spoke quickly.

"Now the whole imperial city knows that you poisoned me. If I die again, do you think you can survive?"

Zhong Xingyun's hand, which was pinching his neck, trembled, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Zhong Yixiu seized the opportunity and pulled Zhong Xingyun's hand away.

Zhong Yixiu began to cough rapidly as she managed to breathe with her throat shackled.

"Yixue!" Zhong's mother hurried over to support Zhong Yixue.

Zhong Xingyun was about to attack again in anger, but Zhong's mother opened her arms to protect Zhong Yixiu.

"Master, Yixue is right. If you kill her, the emperor will definitely not forgive you."

"I'm her father, even if I kill her it's a family matter!"

Zhong Yixue tried hard to hold back her cough and looked at Zhong Xingyun mockingly, "It may have been a family matter before, but do you think you can just cover it up with a family matter now?"

Zhong Xingyun's face was dark, and his eyes seemed to be burning with flames.

"Don't try to scare me with the Emperor. Things have already turned out like this. Do you think I'll still be afraid?"

"The worst case scenario now is dismissal from office, but if you kill me, I guarantee that you won't be able to survive!" Zhong Yixiu stood up straight, stretched out her hand to push away Zhong's mother who was blocking her way, and walked towards Zhong Xingyun.

"Yixue..."

Mother Zhong was so scared that she tried to stop her, but Zhong Yixiu just shook her head at her.

"Don't worry, mother. I will be fine. I believe father doesn't want to lose his life like this."

She walked in front of Zhong Xingyun, stopped when there was only one step left, and looked at him seriously.

"Father, the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits. You should accept your fate now. You have already lost. Even if you kill me, it will not change the facts. As an official of the Ministry of Rites, your reputation is completely ruined. Do you think you can still serve as an official in the court in the future?"

"Even if I can't serve as an official in the court, you won't have an easy life. From now on, I will expel you from Zhong..."

"I'm already looking for a son-in-law." Zhong Yixiu interrupted Zhong Xingyun.

"What?" Zhong Xingyun was stunned.

Zhong Yixue continued slowly, "Didn't father always think that as a daughter I couldn't inherit the family business and could only get married to pave the way for you? But now I have decided to find a son-in-law at home. From now on, all the daughters of the Zhong family will take on their own responsibilities. As for father, just enjoy your old age at home."

Zhong Xingyun was furious, veins popping out on his forehead, "Don't even think about it! You evil girl, do you still want to occupy the Zhong family? The Zhong family is mine, as long as I am here, you will..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhong Xingyun suddenly felt a severe headache and fell to the ground!
