Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 602 - 601: Among Them Are Bombs

Wufu allowed Zhou Xuennian and his people to enter the family gate. This move, no doubt, was like slapping someone then offering a sweet jujube—yet it left others puzzled about her intentions.

Zhou Xuennian and Madam Lu felt very odd and even somewhat disquieted in their hearts.

"Husband, do you think there could be a ’bomb’ hidden in all this?" Madam Lu quietly asked, leaning against Zhou Xuennian.

It wasn’t that she was overly suspicious; rather, Wufu’s attitude all along and the strong measures she exhibited made it clear she was not an easy person to speak with, yet she had oddly let them through her door!

Wufu was not someone to provoke!

These five short words hung over their heads like a knife, always seeming like they could fall at any moment.

For the first time, Madam Lu felt a strong sense of unease and even wanted to flee. Her instincts told her that it would be better to leave immediately.

"What kind of ’bomb’? Does she dare to kill people?" Zhou Xuennian tried to appear calm and glanced at the maidservant leading the way, his voice slightly raised, unsure whether he was trying to embolden himself or to issue a warning.

Madam Lu swallowed hard.

Zhou Xiuer hadn’t given a thought to her parents’ unease. From the moment they entered, she felt her eyes were not enough to take in the surroundings as she looked around at the landscape they passed; this residence built of green bricks and grey tiles was too beautiful, too splendid.

She must convince her aunt to let her live here as well—she never wanted to return to that earthen house, nor did she wish to do household chores and farm work again. She wanted to wear gold and silver and have maidservants at her service, enjoying delicious food and drink.

Zhou Xiuer, thinking of the airs of Wufu’s two maidservants and her demeanor, felt a heat in her eyes—that was the posture a woman should have.

She was more beautiful than Wufu, and once dressed up, she was certain to exude even more of the grandeur fitting for a lady of a great house.

And considering Wufu’s blatant affluence—gold and silver used as if there was no end. If she were her aunt’s daughter, then all of this would be hers.

Zhou Xiuer clenched her fist tightly, a flash of greed passing through her eyes.

"Please have a seat here." The maidservant led them to Floral Hall, curtsied, and was about to leave. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Madam Lu hastily pulled at her, laughing and saying, "Miss, where is your Madam? We must go and pay our respects to her."

"The young lady only instructed this servant to entertain you here." The maidservant giggled, pulled her hand away, and left.

In Floral Hall, it was only their family of four, everything around them eerily quiet.

Soon, someone brought tea. They hadn’t eaten all day, and they were already hungry and thirsty. Madam Lu picked up the tea and drank.

"Mother, how on earth did Wufu and her family become so wealthy? This is just too luxurious," Zhou Xiuer asked as she sipped her own tea.

Madam Lu, very thirsty, replied, "How would I know?"

If only she knew, but she knew nothing. As she spoke, she felt a bit uneasy, pressing her hand against her waist.

Zhou Xiuer pursed her lips and looked around.

The group waited in vain; apart from the tea, no one came by and there was no food. Yongyong cried out that he was hungry.

Madam Lu was hungry too but didn’t dare to act rashly. After drinking her fill of tea, she felt an urgent need to relieve herself, and her stomach was also feeling uncomfortable. After a while, the discomfort became more pressing, and she rushed out to find the latrine.

Once she left Floral Hall, it was as if someone was waiting for her and led her to the latrine.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Purple Jade saw Jadeite return and smiled at Wufu, "Miss, Jadeite is back."

Wufu nodded, put down her teacup, and looked at Jadeite, who was entering the room.

With a cheerful smile, Jadeite said, "Miss, it’s done."

Wufu let out a cold laugh, set down her teacup, and said, "Let’s go, we’ll head to Madam’s quarters."

I allowed you to come in, but if you think you can leave easily, you’re mistaken!
