she had not an ounce of affection for the so-called grandmother before her, the only reason she was even reasoning with her was because of Madam Zhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this woman chose to be unreasonable, then all the better, they could just compare fists instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Wufu was not afraid to confront Old Lady Zhou or even to threaten her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disrespectful and unfilial, you say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ha, one must first be respectable to be respected!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were mother and daughter, granddaughter in close kinship, yet this woman chose to side with strangers to pick on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t expect protection, but not kicking them when they were down would be something, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she persistently took the side of outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, don’t blame her for not concerning herself with familial affection either!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old lady, after you finish lecturing, please return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s getting dark soon, and I’ve heard that recently a Mountain Demon has been seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn’t want to scare you, now would we?” Wufu continued with a cold laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t even call her grandmother anymore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Lady Zhou’s lips were tightly pursed, and she subconsciously avoided Wufu’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eldest daughter-in-law was right—this girl was truly somewhat sinister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had become somewhat afraid of her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Wufu mention the Mountain Demon, she felt a cold shiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Villager Ma Dan was said to have been hung up by the Mountain Demon in a tree overnight and was still bedridden, unable to rise!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this reason, these days the adults were not allowing the children to play up in the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they really had to go, they had to be accompanied by an adult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about this, Old Lady Zhou stopped looking at Wufu and turned to Madam Zhou, saying, “I’m not here to take the Lai Family’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The incident with you two today has caused quite the uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, you two are really in a fine mess!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her speech faltered under Wufu’s stare, she slightly lifted her chin and snorted, “Xueli is going to discuss marriage this year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The match they’re talking about is with a girl from the Scholar Lin’s family in Bamboo Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What you and your daughter decide to do is none of my business, but if you ruin your younger brother’s marital prospects, don’t blame me for being unkind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou’s face turned pale, and she suddenly looked up at Old Lady Zhou with a shocked expression, her lips trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Lady Zhou turned her face away coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu’s expression grew dark—what did this have to do with her and her son’s marriage proposal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“People need a face, trees need bark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Mei, you’ve done one thing wrong, and you know how the Old Zhou family has been pointed at and whispered about these years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you truly cared for your younger brother, you’d keep a lower profile and cause less trouble.” Old Lady Zhou stabbed at Madam Zhou once more with her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou staggered, her body swaying as if she might fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What grudge, what resentment—such a skillful stab from the old lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu stepped forward, “What if I don’t?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Lady Zhou’s eyes narrowed, and she pursed her lips, “Then you all can’t stay here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu snorted coldly, ready to speak again, but Madam Zhou tugged at her sleeve, shaking her head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that they both ceased talking, Old Lady Zhou walked away satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she left the courtyard, Madam Zhou collapsed to the ground with a pale face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother…” Wufu frowned, helping her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears welling in her eyes, Madam Zhou forced a smile, “Mother is fine, really fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept saying it was okay, but her tears fell like pearls off a broken string.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could it be okay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As mother and daughter, as someone who should be closest to her, why would her mother take a knife and stab into her heart again and again until it bled profusely?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could it be okay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were mother and daughter, bound by blood and kinship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she was in the wrong, how could her mother want to cut her to pieces with such relish?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu sighed, “Go and rest inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll cook dinner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou nodded and turned to go back inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu watched her mother’s retreating figure, desolate and despondent, and suddenly said, “Mother, how about we don’t live here anymore?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou’s back stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t respond and walked into the house.\u003C\u002Fp>",759,"2026-06-05T19:25:17.491Z",1,"novelbin.me","e93cfadfe56038c33e96b01187a2c70d9b295de9be55e163543e9f922d516f44","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-30","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-28",1685,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdoted-by-the-regent-king-cover.jpg"]
