Zhou Ruo was so angry when he saw his father like this that his face turned blue. He stood up and pointed at his father's nose and cursed, "Waste!"

Father Zhou was stunned for a moment. He looked at Zhou Ru blankly at first, and then said angrily: "Even if you are a concubine now, you can't talk to your father like this."

After a pause, he lowered his voice a little: "If this gets out, you will be criticized."

Zhou Ruo took a deep breath, turned around, and then looked at his father. He sneered and said, "Are you worried that I will be criticized? Once I was dying and came to you for help, but you just looked at me and left as if nothing happened. Now, your fatherly love has awakened and you are afraid that I will be criticized?"

Father Zhou looked a little embarrassed, and pursed his lips and said, "Before... before, it was my fault. I didn't notice your predicament in the mansion. I have reflected deeply on this. During this time, I also wanted to find an opportunity to make up for it."

Zhou Ruo: "It's all over, how do you make up for it?"

"Since it's all over, why hold on to it?" Zhou's father raised his voice a little, "Don't forget, no matter how unwilling you are, in the eyes of others, we are all a family. It's not good for you to keep dwelling on the past and not associate with our Zhou family."

"Let go of the past and give your father a chance to make amends. With your mother's family's support, your life in the palace will be a little easier, right?"

Zhou Ruo sneered as he listened to his words, and said word by word: "If you can't even do such a small thing, how can you help me?"

After saying that, without even looking at Zhou's father, he turned around and went into the house, slamming the door.

Zhou's father was stunned on the spot. He didn't expect that Zhou Ruo would be so angry.

Just when I was at a loss as to what to do, Cuiping came over.

Father Zhou, as if grasping a life-saving straw, took out a banknote and stuffed it into Cuiping's pocket, saying earnestly, "Please give me some advice, young lady."

Cuiping is Zhou Ruo's most trusted maid. She definitely knows what Zhou Ruo is thinking.

Cuiping glanced at the closed door, took the banknote, and said calmly, "The Queen asked you to deal with the person cleanly and not let him fall into the hands of others. Have you dealt with him cleanly?"

Father Zhou: "The people have been sent out of the city, absolutely..."

"Master Zhou," Cui Ping interrupted Zhou's father and said slowly, "Handle it cleanly, don't let anyone find out, don't let them have the opportunity to say anything they shouldn't say, don't you understand?"

Father Zhou: “…”

Father Zhou's eyes suddenly widened, how could he not understand?

He was not a fool, but the incident with Madam Zhou had caused the Zhou family to pay a heavy price, so he dared not do anything bad again easily. However, he never thought that his cautiousness this time would turn out to be a mistake.

Father Zhou reacted and said to Cuiping, "Please tell the Imperial Concubine that I understand. I am the only one who knows where those people are staying. No one else will find them. I will go and have them clean up right away."

Having said that, he quickly walked out of the palace to deal with things.

Cuiping watched him leave, then walked into Zhou Ruo's room with the banknotes in her hand.

He handed the banknote to Zhou Ruo and said softly, "Madam, this is a reward from Lord Zhou."

Zhou Ruo glanced at the banknote and said calmly, "Since it's a reward for you, just keep it."
