Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1095 - 1093: Begging Aunt for Love

Zhou Xiuer rushed to Madam Zhou’s room, naturally being stopped.

"Dear female cousin, Madam is resting now. If you have something to say, please come back later," Qiu Xiang said, blocking her at the door.

"Insolence." Zhou Xiuer was anxious and upset, and had long disliked Qiu Xiang. She shouted loudly, "Wretched maid, who do you think you are? I want to see my aunt, and you dare to stop me!"

A hint of displeasure flickered in Qiu Xiang’s eyes.

Zhou Xiuer snorted coldly, forcibly pushed aside her hand, and rushed inside.

Wu Lihong was holding Madam Zhou intimately, talking, when suddenly they were interrupted. He looked over displeased, "Insolence!" and released Madam Zhou’s shoulder.

Zhou Xiuer hadn’t expected Wu Lihong to be in the room and was startled by the rebuke, her face showing panic, "Aunt, Uncle?"

Qiu Xiang followed behind, a face full of remorse and guilt, looking at Madam Zhou and the others, "Madam, I..."

She didn’t need to say much; everyone could see that Zhou Xiuer had forced her way in, not that Qiu Xiang had let her in on purpose, truly, not purposely.

"Forget it, you can go." Madam Zhou waved her hand.

"Yes."

Qiu Xiang retreated with her hands down, turning away with a slight sneer.

Zhou Xiuer clutched the corner of her garment, awkwardly calling, "Aunt, Uncle..."

Wu Lihong frowned and said, "Your aunt is right; you need to learn the rules carefully." He stood up and told Madam Zhou, "I have some errands to run, but I’ll come back to speak with you in the evening."

Madam Zhou responded, watching him leave, then noticed Zhou Xiuer’s stupefied, teary-eyed appearance, her brow twitching.

"Speak. Rushing in like this, what do you want to say?"

Zhou Xiuer snapped back to focus, calling sweetly, "Aunt."

"Speak properly!" Madam Zhou scolded lightly, "A proper young lady shouldn’t be weak and coquettish like you. Where did you learn this?"

Zhou Xiuer looked embarrassed, suppressing her anger, "Doesn’t Aunt care about Xiuxiu anymore?"

Madam Zhou picked up the tea, sipping slowly, and said, "You’ve reached an age suitable for marriage; in the next few days, pack your things. I’ll have someone send you back to your mother and elder brother, to learn about managing things..."

"I don’t want to!" Zhou Xiuer’s face changed drastically, interrupting her words, and she knelt down, "Aunt, have mercy on Xiuxiu, your only niece. If I go back to mother and father, what good marriage could I find?"

Madam Zhou’s face turned cold, heavily placing the tea cup on the small table, angered, "What nonsense are you speaking? They are your real parents; would they push you into a fire pit? To slander them like this, do you repay their nurturing grace?"

She hadn’t expected her niece to be so ungrateful and selfish.

Zhou Xiuer’s mouth twitched, "Aunt, I don’t mean it like that. It’s just, the Zhou family doesn’t have many connections, I, I..."

Madam Zhou sneered, "You’re also part of the Zhou family. According to you, I only linger around these two acres and three plots in the backyard, not knowing many people, and I’m just your aunt; I certainly can’t find a good marriage for you."

"Aunt, how could you say that? Uncle is at least a fifth-rank great official, isn’t the people he knows all officials? As long as Aunt speaks well of me, Xiuxiu will surely not forget your kindness when obtaining good results in the future!"

"So that’s what you’re thinking!" Madam Zhou lowered her eyes, "I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. I don’t have sway over your uncle. Besides, your father has become something of a clerk. I’m sure he already has plans."

Seeing Madam Zhou’s indifferent appearance, Zhou Xiuer felt a chill in her heart.
