Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1353 - 1351: Different Attitudes

Madam Wang was thrilled upon hearing that Wu Lihong was thwarted again, but at the same time, she was displeased about the loss her son took. Though her family had declined, it wasn’t the place for a little country girl to bully them.

Thinking of Wufu’s actions made Madam Wang feel increasingly stifled, prompting her to send out several orders targeting Wufu.

In the city, new rumors circulated about the affairs at the Changqing Residence on Cypress Lane.

It was said that the young girl treated Young Master Wu so harshly because her mother was pregnant with a bastard, all in order to make room for her brother. Her intentions were deemed extremely malicious and ruthless.

The news also revealed that the woman living in that residence was the concubine of the Minister of Rites.

Upon hearing the news, Wufu and others were left speechless, even amused, at how they could concoct such a tale about making room for an unborn child.

"Miss, Madam Wang won’t shed tears until she sees the coffin. Should I go and teach her a lesson?" Jadeite fumed.

"Save your strength. Has the new Fragrant Dew been refined? It must last long," Wufu asked.

Jadeite replied, "It has been developed. I’ll bring some samples for you to see later."

"Alright. Such trivial matters aren’t worth dwelling on. It’s not worth the time and effort." Holding the carving knife, Wufu knew the truth would eventually come to light.

Jadeite muttered, "I’m just worried about your reputation, Miss. They’re truly bullying you!"

Wufu smiled faintly; reputation? She didn’t care!

But while she didn’t care, others did, like Guan Chuying, who was being questioned by Madam Guan.

"What’s going on? Isn’t Miss Wu from Huayang? How did she become a child from concubinage of the Wu family?" Madam Guan couldn’t sit still after hearing the rumors; her daughter’s reputation was at stake.

Guan Chuying said, "Mother, these are just the result of hearsay and misinformation. Are you really going to believe them?"

"The rumors outside are quite detailed, saying she threw the kid into a dung bucket!" Madam Guan used a handkerchief to cover her mouth in disgust; it was truly vile.

Thinking for a moment, Guan Chuying lowered her head and smiled, "This does sound somewhat like Wufu’s style. You know her, straightforward and not one for convoluted schemes." Pausing, she continued, "Moreover, Mother, Wufu has already confided in me. She’s actually Lord Wu’s daughter!"

"What?" Madam Guan was startled, "Why hadn’t you mentioned it?"

"She told me during the Changping coming-of-age ceremony, and I noticed she didn’t seem to have any admiration for Lord Wu, so I didn’t bring it up. Now, seeing this matter, I suspect there’s more beneath the surface. Besides, the eldest daughter of the Wu family is actually a year younger than Wufu."

Madam Guan furrowed her brow, contemplating for a moment, "If that’s the case, it must be the mess Lord Wu made when he was young!" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Whatever happened, I’m not going to delve into it, Mother. I only intend to maintain a good relationship with Wufu. She’s worth it!" Guan Chuying snuggled up closely, "Mother, even Old Mr. Meng is willing to take her as a disciple; surely his vision isn’t worse than your daughter’s!"

"You!" Madam Guan playfully tapped her forehead with a teasing smile, "Alright, let’s see how things unfold."

Meanwhile at the Prince’s Mansion, similar conversations occurred between Changping and the Princess Consort. Unlike Madam Guan’s broad-mindedness, the Princess Consort didn’t want Changping to have much contact with Wufu, prompting Changping to slam the door and storm out in frustration.
