Wu Lihong felt somewhat awkward and guilty, walked over, and asked, \"What’s the matter? Are you still angry with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Madam Zhou let out a cold laugh: \"Go ahead and tell me, why would I be angry with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, Xiuxiu is your biological niece and naturally like my daughter. There’s nothing wrong with a father being close to his daughter; I was just teasing her,\" Wu Lihong hurriedly explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words made Madam Zhou feel the fetus-preserving medicine she had just taken surge upwards, causing severe nausea. Her face changed slightly as she rushed to the side, grabbed a Xi Que-encrusted spittoon, and retched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Lihong’s expression changed drastically. He quickly moved behind her to support her back, anxiously exclaiming, \"What’s going on, why such a big reaction all of a sudden?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou’s face turned pale from vomiting. She avoided his hand, picked up a teacup, rinsed her mouth with a few gulps of water, and only then did she look at him after setting down the spittoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like a daughter?\" Madam Zhou laughed in anger, mocking, \"Do you usually play around like this with Madam Wang’s daughter? A big girl sitting on her father’s lap, chatting and laughing? Is this the rule of the great house? Fortunately, even though I’m from a humble background, Wufu knows propriety and integrity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her blatant sarcasm made Wu Lihong’s face change colors unpredictably, filled with an unspeakable embarrassment. He never thought the usually gentle woman before him could be so sharp-tongued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mei Niang!\" Wu Lihong glared at her coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou looked back without the slightest fear, eyes filled with stubbornness, as if saying, \"I haven’t lied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" Wu Lihong saw her stroking her belly, his heart softened, and he sighed: \"I was wrong, wasn’t I? It was just a momentary lapse; don’t be angry, it’s bad for the child.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou scoffed, lowered her eyes, and said, \"A momentary lapse. Does Mr. Wu know what consequences your so-called momentary lapse might have if it spreads?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Lihong furrowed his brow, clearly displeased with Madam Zhou’s relentless questioning. Can’t his admission of guilt suffice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this gets out, Xiuxiu can forget about her reputation or marrying any respectable man. And what about me? People will wonder if I let my biological niece step in because I’m pregnant and can’t serve you?\" Madam Zhou sneered: \"And if this reaches the Wu family in Changan, what would your first wife do, and how would the Wu family view me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Lihong’s brow furrowed tightly. He opened his mouth and, after a long pause, squeezed out, \"Haven’t you always managed the household affairs? How could this leak out? The servants’ mouths are tightly sealed; anyone who dares to spread rumors will be beaten to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou felt a chill in her heart as she looked at him, saying: \"Is this how great families operate?\" Is that why they are so fearless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Lihong found her gaze baffling. What use is a gossiping servant if not loyal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his self-righteous face, Madam Zhou felt a bit exhausted and said, \"Enough, I’ll have someone send Xiuxiu back to my elder brother’s house. I hope Mr. Wu won’t meddle. She’s a grown girl about to discuss marriage; staying at her aunt’s house isn’t appropriate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Willing to stop the conflict, Wu Lihong had no reason to refuse and replied, \"Feel free to arrange as you see fit. I certainly won’t embarrass you.\" Then changed the topic, \"Earlier, I saw an unfamiliar maid outside; Qiu Xiang said she’s from Wufu’s side. Where is she?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",642,"2026-06-05T19:25:34.454Z",1,"novelbin.me","96108a4b99bdcac73a508ba6576c627d21cef5ea9ad4427ca631bfe4e2466bca","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-1093","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-1091",1685,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdoted-by-the-regent-king-cover.jpg"]
