Walking beside her, Zhou Xiuer was looking around, her eyes taking in the Wu Family’s surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had seen fine places before; she once lived at Wufu’s home in Huayang, and that residence was nice, though a bit small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, they moved to Huaan, where they stayed in a small house, even smaller than Wufu’s. Her father became a minor official, underrecognized though it was; still, it was better than being a merchant, so those merchants were willing to curry favor with him. She and Madam Lu were also invited to some merchants’ homes as guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to her, those houses lacked depth and heritage, exhibiting nothing but vulgar wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Huaan, the best house she’d been in was the Quans’ manor, and it was said someone from the Quan family held a high official position in the capital, so they were considered wealthy and noble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even the Quan family was a branch family. Now in Changan, Zhou Xiuer found herself overwhelmed by the sights, even as she walked through the Wu Family’s estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly large, with a stunning array of flowers and trees, the courtyards were beautiful. However, the servants’ gazes at them were unfriendly, carrying disdain and mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiuer glanced down at her own dirty, coarse clothes, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She recalled that before coming to Changan, she was addressed as Miss Zhou, clad in fine silks and satins, and was even close to being promised a good marriage. But because of her father’s transgressions, they were suddenly reduced to their past, even below their former village life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling those dismal days, Zhou Xiuer couldn’t help but close her eyes, unwilling to remember them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother was right; those days couldn’t be lived again, better to die than continue like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please have a seat first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid led Madam Lu and her group to the drawing-room and distanced herself quickly, as the smell from them was quite overpowering, a strong sour stench, very unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Lu smiled and said, \"Miss, could we have some tea, please?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid pursed her lips and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yongyong asked Madam Lu, \"Mother, where’s Aunt? I’m hungry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a bit. A wealthy household has its own rules. Your aunt is just a concubine; we need the Matriarch’s approval to see her!\" Madam Lu, having spent half a year with them, knew some customs and manners by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A maid brought in some tea and a plate of snacks. As soon as they were set down, Yongyong’s eyes lit up, and his dirty hands grabbed them, stuffing them into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid was astonished at the sight, her eyes quickly flashed with contempt and disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly so crude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Lu forced a smile, \"Sorry to have embarrassed you, Miss; the child was starved.\" She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as she was also very hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid heard this and tugged the corner of her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, when can we see my aunt?\" Zhou Xiuer asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She truly wished to shed those clothes as soon as possible, bathe and groom herself; she couldn’t stand those disdainful gazes any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your aunt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Maternal Aunt Zhou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid was about to speak when someone entered through the door, and she quickly went over, dropping a curtsy, \"Madam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Lu and they looked over to see a noblewoman adorned with pearls and jade, and stood up, somewhat awkwardly, watching her approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said this Madam hailed from a truly noble and prominent family, from the Earl’s mansion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pitiful for Madam Lu and her lot; having just arrived in the capital, they hadn’t been in touch with Madam Zhou for a long time. They knew nothing about Madam Zhou and Wufu not being part of the Wu Family anymore, nor did they know about Wufu’s matters!\u003C\u002Fp>",655,"2026-06-05T19:25:44.615Z",1,"novelbin.me","a7a07b6e05a2d12f3e5a532d3bd91426f3d927260cd780d96541cb7f5418e619","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-1634","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-1632",1685,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdoted-by-the-regent-king-cover.jpg"]
