estate ahead of them and was waiting at the entrance with the farmstead manager as Wufu and her family arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the carriage stop, he quickly came forward to greet them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hongyu lifted the carriage curtain and was the first to jump out, followed by Qiu Xiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two women, one on each side, assisted Madam Zhou out of the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu, naturally, did not need their help and lightly hopped down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou scolded, “Look at you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You don’t have the slightest bit of a young lady’s demureness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu replied with a smile, “Mother, we’re not the kind of sheltered noble ladies who never step outside the inner chamber.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou’s smile briefly faded as she remembered something, but it quickly returned brighter than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam, the wind is strong near the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be wise to wear a cloak,” Qiu Xiang suggested as she draped an embroidered cloak lined with rat fur over Madam Zhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou felt a wave of warmth envelop her and didn’t forget to turn to Wufu, “Wufu, you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anticipating what she was about to say, Wufu replied, “Mother, I practice martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My body is strong, and I don’t feel cold.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of her consistent martial arts practice, Wufu’s agility had greatly increased, as well as her physical strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What she lacked was actual combat experience to improve her skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that Wufu wasn’t deceiving her, Madam Zhou said no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Liu Jin approached with the farmstead manager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manager, surnamed Tan, seemed very honest and simple, with dark skin and slightly thick lips—a person who didn’t appear to be deceitful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Wufu and the others, he quickly kneeled with his family members, “Tan Datie pays his respects to Madam and the young lady.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rise,” Wufu gestured with her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Datie stood up and glanced cautiously at Wufu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had heard from Young Master Liu Jin that the new owner who truly made the decisions was actually this young lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she appeared to be just of marriageable age, the moment her eyes swept over him, her gaze was so sharp and scrutinizing that it commanded respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother, the weather is pleasant, and the paths through the estate seem easy to traverse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shall we walk in?” Wufu asked Madam Zhou with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou was not borne of a grand household herself, but grew up in a farmer’s family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far from being frail, she readily agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Datie quickly stepped aside to lead them into the estate, all the while providing an introduction to the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wufu walked along the field paths, she saw the golden sheen of the ripe late-season rice, ready for harvest, and felt a surge of happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Acquiring the estate meant grains for the storehouse, a true treasure found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing inward, they spotted a fish pond with lotuses planted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already October, and only a few remnant lotus flowers remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A breeze stirred the water’s surface and the leftover leaves, carrying a refreshingly crisp scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu could not help but pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother, look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou was equally delighted, “The lotus roots beneath the pond must be delicious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Replying to the young lady and Madam, the water in our estate’s fish pond is fresh and flowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only does it produce sweet fish, but the lotus roots are also very tender and tasty,” Tan Datie said, eager to please.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu asked, “Do we have any lotus roots available now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then dig up a couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s cook some to taste today,” Wufu said, revealing her passion for food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Zhou chuckled and playfully pointed at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They then turned towards the mountainside, where the orchard bore apples, pears, pomegranates, and chestnut trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu looked around and saw scarecrows standing among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon inquiry, she learned they were to scare away animals from the mountains; hearing that traps were also dug to prevent larger wild animals from damaging the crops, she felt reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After touring the various areas, they finally arrived at the residence to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The modest three-section compound had only been built a few years before and was still quite new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu felt increasingly that purchasing the estate for seven hundred taels was a steal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Madam Zhou, who had initially thought the price steep, now felt convinced of its worth after touring the estate, especially upon seeing such golden, abundant crops, and she heaved a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>",761,"2026-06-05T19:25:17.774Z",1,"novelbin.me","78716613eeb8ce769675a0ce446c154116b753ead4dc9e53f1bdc8dc89437a6f","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-416","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-414",1685,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdoted-by-the-regent-king-cover.jpg"]
