Zhou Ying is the goddaughter of Cixi. What happened to her?
In fact, Zhou Ying came to no good end. She died at the age of 42 and was buried in a hurry. She didn't even get a chance to enter Wu Jiazu's grave, and the ending was sighing.

Born in a wealthy family, Zhou family is also a famous local chaebol. At the age of seventeen, she was betrothed to the son of Wu Weiwen, a rich man in Jingyang County, and became a rich family of the Wu family. However, what people didn't expect was that Master Wu had been in poor health. Only ten days after marrying the Wu family, Wu's master died. In this way, Zhou Ying became a widow. You know, Wu Gongzi is Wu's only son. After the death of Wu Gongzi, he became the heir of Wu.

Zhou Ying is a very capable person. She is not an ordinary feudal woman, and she has a lot of brains in business. In order to control the big ship of the Wu family, a relationship was quickly established and supported by the top management of the Wu family company. Under our management, Wu's firm has developed rapidly, not only in Shaanxi, but also in other provinces. Under such circumstances, the strength of the Wu family is getting stronger and stronger.

At that time, before he was 30 years old, he became the dean of the East Hospital, in charge of the whole business of Wu, and adopted his nephew as his adopted son. The nephew's name is Wu Huaixian. Time flies to 1900. At that time, Eight-Nation Alliance entered Bauhinia City, and Cixi fled to xi 'an with the emperor and a group of concubines. Zhou Ying seized this opportunity and gave Empress Dowager Cixi as much as100,000 taels of silver. At that time, Empress Dowager Cixi personally inscribed the plaque of "Mrs. Protecting the Country" and gave it to Zhou Ying, accepting her as her adopted daughter. Overnight, Zhou Ying became famous all over the world, and her reputation was greatly improved. Later, after the signing of the "Xin Chou Treaty", Zhou Ying gave Empress Dowager Cixi a lot of money, and Empress Dowager Cixi directly named her "Mrs. Yipin Yu Ling".

Since then, Zhou Ying has built water conservancy projects and set up education in the local area, and suddenly became a well-known "businesswoman". However, Zhou Ying is a woman after all. Later, when his adopted son grew up, he wanted to take over the Wu family's property, but thought he was incompetent and wouldn't let him take over, so they went to court. Shortly thereafter, Zhou Ying died of illness and didn't even go to Wu Jiazu's grave.
