How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

His name is not Xie Chengze, his surname is Zhou, his given name is Ze, and his courtesy name is Songqian.

Before becoming Xie Chengze, he was the second son of the Zhou family, a famous aristocratic family in the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.

There has always been a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. In other noble families, illegitimate sons with mediocre qualifications are often not welcomed, but in the Zhou family, even a illegitimate son like him who cannot create value for the Zhou family can have enough food and warm clothes, and will not be treated harshly or looked down upon by the servants.

The same was true for his father, who was a bastard. His mother died early, and his father and he lived in a remote courtyard of the Zhou family. They lived a very comfortable life and were contented.

Zhou Ze is gentle and friendly, and loves reading. Although he has average talent for learning, it does not prevent him from going to bookstores. What he admires most are the two elder brothers of the eldest son of the family. One of them is famous in the capital for his talent at a young age, and the other has unfathomable attainments in martial arts.

The Zhou family devoted all their efforts to nurturing them, and they also helped the Zhou family to rise to a higher level among the aristocratic families.

He really wanted to be as good a person as his brother and create more value for the Zhou family to repay the Zhou family for giving him such a stable and comfortable life.

For this reason, he studied late into the night, neglecting sleep and eating, hoping that one day he would be able to reach the same heights as his two brothers.

Can……

The two brothers who were adored by women in the capital, who were supposed to marry talented ladies from aristocratic families or even princesses of the royal family, actually fell in love with the same person at the same time.

a man.

The man had a handsome face like a beautiful woman, a thin and delicate figure, a soft voice like a cat's meow, and skin as smooth as cream. Women would feel ashamed when they saw him.

His appearance made his two outstanding brothers like crazy. They were jealous of him everywhere in the mansion, humiliated the proud and talented girls from aristocratic families for him, and even made the Zhou family that had carefully nurtured them become the laughing stock of the whole capital for him.

Zhou Ze originally thought that this young man named Jiang Luoer, as a man, must have something extraordinary to be loved and fought over by two such outstanding brothers.

but no.

He was not good at studying scriptures, had no knowledge of literature, and had never touched water. Even when walking on a flat road, he would trip over himself and then fall on his brother.

Soft as if without bones, crying and wailing.

There is no trace of masculinity.

Zhou Ze didn't like him, but Jiang Luoer had no faults in character or behavior. Everything was done spontaneously by his brothers to protect him and fight for justice for him.

For Zhou Ze, the only quality of Jiang Luoer worth talking about is her kindness.

Hmm... that's a bit too kind.

Although he was a bastard's son, he had never been treated harshly. He just studied harder. When he went to the kitchen to get food, he had a nosebleed and felt dizzy for a while. Jiang Luoer who was passing by saw him, and she thought that he was treated harshly by the family, so she stood up for him in front of his two brothers.

Thanks to him, the two high-ranking brothers looked at him straight in the eye for the first time.

Although there was visible dissatisfaction and fear hidden in their eyes, as if warning him to be careful about his identity and not to dream of being someone he shouldn't be involved with.

Zhou Ze never had such delusion, and he didn't like men.

He deliberately stayed away from Jiang Luo'er, but he didn't expect that Jiang Luo'er would cling to him. Jiang Luo'er always said that she was good for nothing, not as good as the noble ladies in the capital, and not worthy of the overbearing preference and possession of her two brothers. She also said that she could only breathe a sigh of relief when she was by his side.

There was no malice in Jiang Luoer's tone, but Zhou Ze could sense it was full of malice.

He said this as if to say, it is precisely because you are mediocre that I feel relaxed with you.

"Then you can choose to leave." Zhou Ze said this. He knew that if these words were heard by his brother, it would anger him and bring him punishment. However, he really didn't want his two brothers to always fight over Jiang Luoer. He didn't want to see the Zhou family, which was famous in the capital, become a household laughing stock because of Jiang Luoer.

The Zhou family shouldn't be treated like this.

Jiang Luoer said sadly, "But I have nowhere to hide."

Yes, he was good for nothing and his parents had just died. If he were to leave his two brothers, he would probably starve to death on the streets.

"Then you should start reading from now on." Zhou Ze handed him a book, opened a page and said to him, "At least, when others say that you are ignorant, you can use this poem to retort, mocking them for being arrogant because of their knowledge. This book is no different from reading into a dog's stomach."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "To say that is an insult to the dog."

"Puchi." Jiang Luoer laughed, her eyebrows curved, "Zhou Ze, you are so nice, thank you."

Zhou Ze didn't know whether Jiang Luoer had memorized the poem or not.

He just hoped that Jiang Luoer could become better, at least, to shut up other people in the capital and prevent them from saying that the children of their Zhou family were indulging in male beauty and ruining their own future.

But Zhou Ze didn't expect that the book of poetry would become his death warrant.

It turns out that men’s jealousy can be so terrible.

The second brother's sword pierced his abdomen without asking right or wrong, and blood flowed all over the floor. He saw Jiang Luoer's pale face explaining something, and saw the eldest brother, who always believed in brotherly harmony, holding Jiang Luoer's trembling and fragile body, gloating and saying bad things about the second brother. Then the second brother glanced at him with a deadly look, and then retorted to the eldest brother viciously.

No one called the doctor.

Jiang Luoer seemed to be frightened silly. She curled up in her eldest brother's arms with her legs limp, not daring to look at him.

"what to do……"

He heard Jiang Luoer say this.

"He's just a bastard. There are many of them in the mansion."

He heard his second brother say this.

"Don't be afraid, Luo'er. His death has nothing to do with you. It's not your fault."

He heard his elder brother say this.

So where did he go wrong?

Was it because he gave Jiang Luoer a book? And then he was misunderstood to have an affair with Jiang Luoer?

Jiang Luoer, Jiang Luoer, save me...

Zhou Ze never saw a doctor until his death.

He seemed to be dead, but also seemed not dead. His soul floated in the air. He saw his father was heartbroken because of his death and angrily reported him to the head of the family. Then he witnessed his second brother being punished by the family and became furious and even designed to have his father die outside the city.

He also witnessed his two brothers fighting like crazy for Jiang Luoer time and time again, and witnessed the Zhou family, the head of the aristocratic families, go from prosperity to decline and eventually fall apart, all because his two brothers fell in love with a man.

What he hated most was that Jiang Luoer finally forgave his second brother.

When he was having sex with his eldest and second brothers, did he ever think about the innocent person he killed?

Nausea.

too disgusting.

Zhou Ze felt boundless anger and disgust in his heart, and he wanted to strangle this pair of bastards to death and drag these three people into hell together.

Why should I become a stumbling block in their efforts to prove their true love?

The Zhou family took great pains to raise them, so why should they be destroyed by their own hands just because of their own selfish desires and because the Zhou family disagreed with their relationship?

Why? Why! Why——!

Why in the end, they were able to get a happy ending for them, Jiang Luoer was even favored by the Crown Prince, and the crown prince of a country abandoned the Crown Princess and was willing to share a son with the two brothers of the Zhou family? !

The Zhou Dynasty is about to end!

From then on, Zhou Ze began to discriminate equally against anyone who liked Longyang.

This is especially true for those with paranoid tendencies.

Before Zhou Ze could see the end of the Zhou Dynasty, he was stuffed into a new body by an unknown divine power.
