Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1099 - 1097: The Big One Is Trouble Too

Purple Jade said Zhou Xiuer is a menace, and Qiu Xiang felt that was indeed true, isn’t she just a troublemaker? 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Luckily, Madam hasn’t completely lost her sense, now saying she will send her back to Elder Master Zhou." Qiu Xiang said.

Purple Jade lowered her eyes and said, "When something threatens a person’s interests, they always come to their senses."

Qiu Xiang’s heart skipped a beat, unsure if Purple Jade’s words were sarcastic or otherwise, but she didn’t argue. Regardless of whether Madam Zhou sensed a crisis or for some other reason, Zhou Xiuer’s path was singular.

"Enough about her, she’s just a vain, silly girl who can’t stir up anything big." Purple Jade stopped talking about Zhou Xiuer and asked about Zhou Xuennian: "Zhou Xuennian, has he really become an official?"

Qiu Xiang nodded: "Lord Wu requested Prefect Li to arrange it, he’s now the office clerk in Huaan County, not far from the county seat, and he’s already taken up the post."

Purple Jade frowned slightly and said, "The office clerk, while a trivial position, if he really wants to stir things up, perhaps... This Zhou Xuennian isn’t one to stay quiet."

Qiu Xiang’s heart jumped: "Are you saying?"

"He once dared to bribe and cheat just for the scholar title; now that he’s an official?" Purple Jade sneered.

Qiu Xiang thought for a moment: "No wonder, earlier, I vaguely heard that Prefect Li wanted to place him in Huayang, saying since Madam is also over there, it would be convenient for someone to look after him. But for some reason, it was never followed up and he was placed in Huaan instead."

Purple Jade chuckled: "Huayang’s county magistrate is the fourth young master of the Wen Family, a person genuinely looking to accomplish things. Zhou Xuennian has a criminal record and was stripped of his title. That Lord Wen would be crazy to accept such a person in his jurisdiction; it would only sicken himself, wouldn’t it? And if something happens, do you think those above would easily avoid blame? That’s Lord Wen’s wisdom, while Prefect Li clearly doesn’t dare to offend the Wen Family."

Qiu Xiang was clearly not as perceptive in such matters as Purple Jade, and now, after hearing her words, her face looked extremely awful.

"The small are a threat and so are the big ones. Shouldn’t we remind Madam?" Qiu Xiang worried if Zhou Xuennian might drag down Madam Zhou and the others.

Purple Jade lowered her eyes and said, "Let’s not speak of it for now. Later, I’ll write to the young lady and see what she thinks."

Qiu Xiang nodded: "That’s about all that’s happening at home. Purple Jade, what does the young lady think about Lord Wu? From Madam’s attitude, there’s a strong possibility she’s considering returning to that house. Perhaps she was hesitant before, but now, with a child on the way, maybe..."

Speaking of this, Purple Jade’s face also turned green.

As for Wu Lihong’s face, she could already tell that he was definitely the young lady’s biological father because Wufu’s appearance doesn’t fall far from his traits. Though some features seem to follow Wufu’s, the combination does not completely lean masculine or feminine.

"Whether to return to that house or not, from our perspective, it’s obviously better not to. After all, more people, more trouble, and being a servant often ends up as cannon fodder. But these are matters for the masters; how could we interfere?" Purple Jade said lightly: "Don’t worry, just perform your duties. As long as you’re loyal, the young lady won’t neglect us. Besides, even if she returns, it might not be so difficult; the young lady is determined!"

Now that Wufu is in Changan City, she’s already secretly gathering the Wu Family’s background; knowing oneself and the enemy is key to victory. Most importantly, the Wu Family is in the open while she remains in the shadows.
