she could never imagine sayings as deeply meaningful as those shared by Liu Jin at her age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Liu Jin, although he was only seven years old, his mother was the daughter of a criminal official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had once lived a life of luxury, and although she later fell to the status of a brothel woman, it did not mean she was ignorant of the intricacies and rules of a wealthy household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving birth to Liu Jin, she not only taught him arithmetic and literacy but also privately shared stories of her past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, having heard about such matters and being exposed to a great deal at a young age, Liu Jin matured earlier and was naturally more worldly than Hongyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I, I didn’t stir trouble, and I wasn’t being divisive,” Hongyu said, her face flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jin said, “I know, and Miss knows too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So let’s drop the subject, please.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As intelligent a person as you are, Miss, you surely know what to do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hongyu said sheepishly, “I get it now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two whispered for a while and then caught up with Wufu, entering the household together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving the earrings to Zhou Xiuer, Madam Zhou regretted it a bit, not because she was unwilling to part with them, but as Hongyu had said, without Wufu’s consent, she wondered if she should have asked first before making a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if Wufu became angry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou was uneasy all along and kept stealing glances at Wufu, unsure whether to speak up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu pretended not to notice, yet the sight of Madam Zhou’s conflicted look brought both helplessness and amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother, is there something you want to say?” Wufu couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou, lost in her thoughts, was startled and stiffly replied, “No, nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu merely responded with an “Oh,” without pressing further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Madam Zhou grew even more uneasy and said, “Wufu, about the earrings you gave me…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gave them to Xiuxiu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu lifted her head to look at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou, meeting her deep black eyes, felt a flutter of nervousness and hastily explained, “Well, she really liked them, and the color suits you young girls well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It doesn’t quite fit someone my age to wear them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, I noticed she’s grown into a big girl without many proper pieces of jewelry, so I gave her a pair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she is my niece who calls me aunt…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother,” Wufu interrupted, “It’s just a pair of earrings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re free to give them to whoever you wish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou was taken aback, “Wufu, aren’t you angry?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu’s lips curled up slightly, “Once I gave them to you, they became your property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How you choose to dispose of them is entirely up to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Mother, as long as you think it’s worth it, that’s all that matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou’s face stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A pair of earrings aren’t worth much money; it’s just, do you think Zhou Xiuer is worth it?” Wufu asked pointedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s my niece as well,” Madam Zhou mumbled, fiddling with the corner of her clothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu smiled without saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t think it was worth it because she was a calm observer and furthermore, an outsider, not a true granddaughter of the Zhou family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Madam Zhou, steeped in tradition as a woman, would still allow Madam Lu and her daughter to leech off her like bloodsucking leeches, turning a blind eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because, in her heart, she still regarded them as kin and was willing to support her maternal family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People like her only truly come to their senses after suffering a significant loss and cooling their hearts, realizing that while they see others as kin, they are only viewed as fools in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Wufu didn’t offer any grand truths because such words would fall on deaf ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that Madam Zhou couldn’t understand; she simply hadn’t seen through them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she did see through everything, Madam Zhou would know without being told whether it was worth it or not.\u003C\u002Fp>",708,"2026-06-05T19:25:17.772Z",1,"novelbin.me","777bdcfd2cc560bf3abe07be6e6a8c4dacec85dee6b2128c27eeaec4d3ad1ff8","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-206","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-204",1685,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdoted-by-the-regent-king-cover.jpg"]
