after all, she had cherished Wufu as the apple of her eye for over a decade, which showed how much she valued Wufu as her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, Madam Zhou’s only regret was that she wasn’t very capable and couldn’t earn enough gold and silver to dress her daughter up beautifully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the conditions were better, Wufu had changed and didn’t like such adornments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She found them cumbersome and said they interfered with her martial arts practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, even when she had earrings and hairpins, Wufu didn’t like wearing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a regular day, she just tied her hair with a string, without any earrings to adorn her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, seeing Zhou Xiuer’s daughterly charm, Madam Zhou’s motherly heart was instantly satisfied, forgetting all previous grudges and grievances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a pity, my father needs to study, and we don’t have the silver to buy for me,” Zhou Xiuer sighed with a gesture to remove the earrings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the doorway, Hongyu watched secretly, sneering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go ahead and take them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s been so long, yet they still aren’t off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could these earrings weigh a thousand pounds?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her reluctance, Madam Zhou pressed her hand and said, “These earrings, I’ll give them to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consider it an early gift for your reaching the age of marriage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, such a bright color didn’t suit her either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiuer was overjoyed, her eyes sparkling, “Auntie, are you serious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou nodded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Auntie, you have always been so good to me.” Zhou Xiuer immediately hugged Madam Zhou and gave her a kiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hongyu, frantic, rushed in without a second thought and said, “Madam, those earrings were a gift from the young lady to you, have you forgotten the incident with the hairpin?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Madam Zhou’s lips puckered, and she looked somewhat conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiuer was fuming inside, but she was also shrewd and immediately said, “Auntie, although it’s not polite to refuse a gift from an elder, let’s not make my cousin upset, shall we?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not worth it for a pair of earrings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, aren’t you something, with a father who’s a Child Student, spouting respect for your elders and speaking so articulately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren’t you blocking every avenue of criticism with your words?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou listened and laughed, “You just said it’s impolite to refuse a gift from an elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just a pair of earrings, your cousin won’t mind parting with them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hongyu urgently interjected, “Madam, you should ask the young lady’s opinion first…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou, displeased by Hongyu’s behavior, frowned and said, “Hongyu, there’s no need to speak further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Wufu gave them to me, whoever I choose to give them to is my wish, and she won’t mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Hongyu felt indignant on behalf of the young lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending time together these days, she knew Wufu was generous; otherwise, after making her own pair of earrings, she wouldn’t have given Hongyu one as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a pair of earrings, and to the young lady, they were indeed trivial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it also mattered who they were given to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing the young lady’s lack of fondness for the people of the Old Zhou family, such a move by Madam Zhou would undoubtedly displease the young lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Madam Zhou had already spoken, and any further objections from her would be seen as insubordination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she gave up on persuading and departed with a listless glance at Zhou Xiuer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiuer felt a slight relief inside and picked up the mirror again, continuing to flatter and please Madam Zhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the laughter inside, Hongyu sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam is just too tender-hearted, her heart and her ears too soft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a few flattering words, and she lets Zhou Xiuer have her way.\u003C\u002Fp>",727,"2026-06-05T19:25:17.772Z",1,"novelbin.me","89d00a708a4889113c09a15e9ea4c8541d5308fbac28c27e882864aa1f2923cd","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-204","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-202",1685,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdoted-by-the-regent-king-cover.jpg"]
