followed the direction of the girl’s finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On an old desk, there was a spirit tablet with the inscription “The Seat of Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen’s Prosperous Descendants.” In front of the tablet, an incense burner held a bunch of fresh incense, indicating that someone offered incense daily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…” Wufu looked at the young maid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had she arrived too late?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Old Man Shen died?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young maid’s eyes were indifferent as she said, “Dead, he died last month!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu took a deep breath and asked, “How did this happen so suddenly, when was it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid glanced at her, then back at the spirit tablet, and emotionlessly replied, “He said he was going up the mountain before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last month he came back, claiming he had finally found a good piece of jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of my father’s tablet, he drank a whole bottle of strong liquor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day he fell ill, and within half a month, he was gone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu noticed another spirit tablet beside Old Man Shen’s, also bearing a man’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it this girl’s deceased father, the man who had fallen off the cliff?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Madmen, they’re all a bunch of madmen, old madman, young madman, all talking about restoring the family’s former glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, they went crazy running to the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was the result?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t find the jade they desired and instead lost their lives for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young ones did it, and so did the old, ha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu looked over to see the young maid, a sarcastic smile on her lips as she stared at the spirit tablets, which made Wufu’s heart jump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a young child, speaking of her father and her grandfather with the indifference of a stranger, devoid of the innocence children should possess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, looking at her, Wufu felt a piercing pain in her heart, and her brows furrowed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw the clear brightness in the child’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right, all her closest kin had left her, one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could it not hurt?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was just a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You, don’t be sad, take care of yourself.” Wufu put her hand on her shoulder, struggling to utter these words, but once spoken, she felt how pale and inadequate they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid wiped away her tears, looked back at Wufu with defiance, and said, “What do I have to be sad about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can live well on my own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s fine that they’re dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu felt a twinge in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t this stubbornness a disguise for her own pain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made her think of herself in a previous life when at a young age she had been orphaned and had grown up through trials and hardships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu pulled her into an embrace: “Girl, if you want to cry, then cry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s there for me to cry about?” The girl struggled a few times, but she wasn’t as strong as Wufu and could not break free, so she gave up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clutched the hem of Wufu’s clothing, yet tears continued to roll down unstoppable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was alone now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father was dead, her grandfather was dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Shen Family, there was only herself left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She, Shen Hongyu, from this point on, could only rely on herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how tough she acted, she couldn’t hide the fear and desolation in her heart, and the helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu’s embrace made it impossible for Shen Hongyu to keep up her facade, her tears quietly falling, soon turning into loud sobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was just a ten-year-old girl, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her only relatives gone, she was scared too, but she dared not show it in front of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the child’s cries filled with frustration and panic, Wufu felt a sting in her eyes as she held the girl tightly, looking at the spirit tablets, she sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve been searching all your life, you found what you sought, but how did you fail to hold on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it because your wish was fulfilled, so your spirit dissipated, that you left without concern?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But you forgot, there’s a pitiful young granddaughter here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Innocent child, how could you bear to leave her behind!\u003C\u002Fp>",719,"2026-06-05T19:25:17.771Z",1,"novelbin.me","3bda0e819bb856e906a2b3034c990e16445940747f1ad15d738786fa751a9cc2","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-91","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-89",1685,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdoted-by-the-regent-king-cover.jpg"]
