less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who deserved punishment had been punished, and the affairs that needed handling had been handled, so she had no reason to linger any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with Ah Jiu, she returned to Huayang County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am most grateful for Ninth Master’s help these past few days,” Wufu said as she stood at the entrance to her own house, bowing respectfully to Ah Jiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Jiu kept a straight face and nodded slightly, looking towards the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his gaze, Wufu smiled and said, “We’ve just moved in, and the house is quite a mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once we get settled, I’ll send an invitation for Ninth Master to come over for a drink.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With matters having come this far, could Ah Jiu really force his way into someone else’s home just to have a cup of tea before leaving?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned, mounted his horse, and with a grunt, he rode away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu knocked on the door and then remembered there weren’t many people at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was going to answer her knocking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t her small house near the mountain—the front gate was quite a distance from the back residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped back out and looked at the walls on either side, wondering which side she should climb over, but just then the door creaked open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man about fifty, with an honest and loyal face, poked his head out, “Who is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?” Wufu took a look in front of the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large apricot tree was definitely a part of her home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man sized her up, asking tentatively, “Could you be Miss Wufu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s eyes lit up as he immediately opened the door wider and knelt down, saying respectfully, “My name is Ji Yongqing, new to service, and I have seen Miss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hint of surprise crossed Wufu’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A servant of her family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rise,” Wufu said as she walked through the entrance and headed straight through the front yard to the back, needing to pay her respects to Madam Zhou first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss has returned?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she reached the Moon Gate, Wufu was called out to and, turning around, saw Liu Jin running over quickly, followed by Xiao Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I have returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve worked hard these last few days,” Wufu said with a smile, then turned to Xiao Li and added, “And you’ve worked hard as well, Master Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your master has returned too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Li’s eyes curved up happily as he replied, “That’s perfect then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shall return to my master and resume my duties.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no need to rush,” Wufu called out to him, “I said that once we get settled in a few days, I will invite your master over for a drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look, the elders in my family are sick, the young ones are just children, and I’ve only just returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m hoping you could fill me in on the household situation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xiao Li could speak, she added, “I’ll go see my mother first, and we can talk later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her dash off quickly, Xiao Li said to Liu Jin, “Your miss seems to be someone who doesn’t worry about anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems you have a lot to learn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jin smiled and said, “Isn’t it our duty as servants to share our master’s worries?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please feel free to teach me, Master Li.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just by being around him and observing, Liu Jin had broadened his horizons considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t sure what Ninth Master’s standing was, but his family’s young manservant was very well-mannered and knowledgeable about propriety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything he saw and heard from him, as well as his methods of handling issues, were quite eye-opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jin was determined to become the foremost favored servant by Wufu’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning the rules and ways of conducting affairs from Xiao Li was like a fish soaking up water, absorbing everything eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a saying, ‘Teach your apprentice well, and he may come to starve his master,'” Xiao Li said, knocking on his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grinning, Liu Jin clasped his hands and said, “There’s also a saying, ‘One day as your teacher gives you a lifelong father.’ Master Li, you should accept my bow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Li huffed lightly, a proud look on his face, “We each serve our own masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems there won’t be any conflicts between us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, you’re also quite clever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s go, your misses will have questions for you later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jin hurried to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>",758,"2026-06-05T19:25:17.774Z",1,"novelbin.me","c4114506f8b102917196905d65f788a02d4a857686ab355260e1ee489e8eb127","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-360","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-358",1685,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdoted-by-the-regent-king-cover.jpg"]
