forest, the rain woven into a massive curtain lashed painfully against the face, blurring vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu carried Ah Jiu on her back, a bamboo basket in front, laboriously making her way down the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unconscious weighed the most, her small frame struggling with the weight of a fully grown person was indeed challenging, not to mention trekking through the rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it, consider it weight training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu let out a breath, lifted her hand to wipe the rain from her eyes, and slowly moved forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Jiu, dazed and barely conscious, just managed to crack open her eyes and saw only a profile, lips pursed, resolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his mouth but said nothing, and passed out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wufu, Wufu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu, hearing her name called, was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wufu, where are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The calling grew clearer, and straining her eyes, she saw a lean figure in a straw raincoat, holding something in their hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Wufu could make out who it was, the person fell down but quickly got up again, covered in leaves and mud, in a sorry state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wufu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Madam Zhou, her mother!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her approach, something warmed in Wufu’s heart, and she hurriedly responded, “Mother, I’m here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The straw-coated Madam Zhou paused, then hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s raining, how come you’ve come up here?” Wufu frowned and asked, seeing her mother’s sorry state, dirtied face, and scratches, her heart felt both sour and pained, yet mostly moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She must have come looking for her out of worry, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Madam Zhou, running up without stopping, began rambling, “You know it’s raining?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why didn’t you come back earlier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such heavy rain, you scared me to death.” While talking, she waved the item in her hand, which turned out to be another straw raincoat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to drape it over Wufu, she noticed the person on her daughter’s back, a man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou turned pale, her hand holding the raincoat stiffened, and she instinctively took a step back, “What, what is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What happened, and why was her daughter carrying a man on her back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, I rescued someone,” Wufu explained, “Mother, shall we get down the mountain quickly?” The rain was too heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou was on the verge of saying something, but seeing the person hanging limp, not sure of the circumstance, should they bring him down the mountain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to object, but seeing her daughter’s face, she felt her objections were stuck in her throat, unable to utter a single word, her hands and feet restless with anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother, use the raincoat in your hands to cover him,” Wufu noticed the raincoat in her hand and mentioned it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou hesitated for a moment, but still draped the raincoat over, saying, “Wufu, let your mother carry him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young lady’s reputation is important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if people see this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can’t, take the bamboo basket for me, let’s go!” Wufu put down the basket she was carrying in front of her and took a step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou quickly picked up the basket, supporting the person slumped on Wufu’s back, and the mother-daughter pair trudged down the mountain, one step deep, one step shallow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, they weren’t far from their home at the foot of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wufu managed to get the person into their house’s woodshed, her legs gave in, and she collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Madam Zhou’s requirement: under no circumstances could a foreign man enter the house they lived in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, had it not been for the pouring rain and the absence of people around, she categorically would not have dared let Wufu bring someone in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wufu, what are we going to do with this person?” Madam Zhou asked, pointing at the man.\u003C\u002Fp>",652,"2026-06-05T19:25:17.491Z",1,"novelbin.me","ada0da1666424dc25c0cb33791f095cd818afa50978f2b9f83d6c73398ef2300","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-351","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-35",1685,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdoted-by-the-regent-king-cover.jpg"]
