71 I've Waited for You for a Long Time

“T-This is such a big issue. I’m afraid the Emperor doesn’t know about it yet…” said Eunuch Min hesitantly as he looked at First Elder and the rest.

“Is this confirmed?”

“The contract is already written, and we have many witnesses, so it’s confirmed. Don’t worry, Eunuch Min. I’ll explain this to the Emperor personally another day.”

Seeing that none of the Chu family members were willing to explain this incident, Eunuch Min knew that there was no turning back on the matter and could not help but sigh secretly. He did not expect that the rumored cowardly and weak Chu family’s good-for-nothing could actually be so bold and decisive.

Severing her ties with the Chu family was akin to gaining a huge enemy for herself. However, now that Chu Ning was the imperial guards’ Commander in Chief and Chu Liuyue was a talent everyone admired, the Chu family would not dare to do anything to them openly.

Eunuch Min had always been a sensible person and quickly gathered his thoughts. As he bowed towards Chu Liuyue, he smiled and said, “Then, I’ll congratulate Officer Chu and Ms. Liuyue on your honor. I still have other things to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Chu Liuyue knew that Eunuch Min did not want to interfere with their family’s affairs and readily said, “Eunuch Min, please be careful on your way out.”

After they returned to the residence, First Elder only asked the few people who had the most say in the Chu family to stay and discuss the issue.

Chu Yan was the first to speak, and he looked infuriated.

First Elder’s face darkened, but he did not say a word.

“Yeah! Even if she has entered Tian Lu Academy, she’s way too arrogant! If she dares to do this now, who knows what she’ll do in the future?”

“If we don’t do anything this time round and take it lying, the entire Imperial City will think that we’re cowards. I won’t let her go this easily.”

“Hmph, does that Chu Liuyue think she can have a stable life after leaving the Chu family? We should let her see what we are capable of. If not, she really will think that we have nothing against her.”

The few people broke into heated discussions as if they wanted to let Chu Liuyue know how formidable they were immediately.

Third Elder stood at the side and shook his head as he lightly said, “Don’t forget that she still has Chu Ning.”

try { window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () { window._mNDetails.loadTag("386623558", "300x250", "386623558"); }); } catch (error) { }

The few people were instantly stumped.

Chu Liuyue looked up and could see the green roof of her new mansion. She used 100,000 of the 300,000 silver taels she earned from selling the hunting ground to buy this mansion.

The mansion was located in the Imperial City’s western region. It was very isolated and quiet. Distinguished families would normally not like it here, but Chu Liuyue loved it at first sight.

She had had enough of the beautiful but cold palaces in her previous life. She no longer held any interest in them after she was reborn. She liked quiet places like this even more.

Her lips could not help but curve up into a smile when she thought of her and Chu Ning spending the rest of their lives away from the people in the Chu family.

Suddenly, something cold dropped on her face.

Chu Liuyue was taken aback and looked up.

Water droplets fell down rapidly, quickly forming a line.

It was raining!
