Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1101 - 1099: Go Find Your Bastard Father
Zhou Xiuer’s future was tied to Madam Zhou’s decision. Once Madam Zhou made up her mind, Xiuer’s fate was sealed, regardless of her tears or tantrums; she would have no choice but to return.
Consequently, seeing Madam Zhou’s cold expression, Zhou Xiuer’s eyes were filled with resentment, as if Madam Zhou was blocking her path to wealth and glory. This made Madam Zhou feel even colder and more reluctant to keep her niece by her side.
Fortunately, Purple Jade, representing Wufu, returned, and Madam Zhou entrusted the entire matter to her to handle.
As for Zhou Xiuer, she was the type to bully the weak and fear the strong. She dared to be unreasonable with Madam Zhou but became as timid as a quail in front of Purple Jade, not daring to make a sound.
Having lived a comfortable life, Zhou Xiuer was unwilling to return to a place like Wozi Village and become a farm girl. Thinking that her father was already a minor official, she demanded to go to Huaan County to join him.
As long as she was willing to leave, Purple Jade didn’t mind where she went and immediately arranged for her to be sent to Huaan County. Upon learning that Zhou Xuennian was alone in Huaan County, she also sent someone to Wozi Village to inform Madam Lu of Zhou Xiuer’s whereabouts. Whether Madam Lu would go to Huaan for a family reunion was not her concern.
After sending Zhou Xiuer away, Purple Jade consulted with Madam Zhou about the departure date to Changan and gave a brief account of Wufu’s plans.
Wu Lihong’s home was originally in Changan City, and now that Madam Zhou was pregnant, she had no objections or opinions about going to Changan City. In her heart, she had always been where her daughter was, and now, where her beloved was. Moreover, her daughter was in the same place. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Thus, the decision to go to Changan City was joyfully settled. As soon as Purple Jade took care of settling Wufu’s affairs, they would set off for Changan.
With Chi Er around, the arrangements were smoothly carried out. Purple Jade focused on handling the business transitions in Huayang, while also delivering the news of Madam Zhou’s pregnancy to Changan City as quickly as possible, ensuring that Wufu received it and was mentally prepared.
Wozi Village, Zhou family.
Madam Lu received the message from Huayang, and she was utterly bewildered.
Zhou Xuennian had become an official, yet she hadn’t known this whole time. That deadbeat dared to hide it from her. Oh, so when they sent silver claiming he was still negotiating, it was a lie. One reason was to use the silver to keep her appeased, but what else?
Why had that deadbeat hidden such good news of becoming an official from her?
Madam Lu’s mind raced; wasn’t it said that men turn bad when they have money, and it’s the same when they become officials? Was that deadbeat keeping a second family somewhere else and hiding it from her?
The deeper she thought, the more Madam Lu felt her suspicions were justified. Otherwise, why hide something that wasn’t disgraceful? Why keep it from her and the family?
"Zhou Xuennian, you bastard, you better hope it’s not what I’m thinking; otherwise, I’ll never let you off!" Madam Lu shouted in fury, immediately went inside, hurriedly packing her things, ready to go to Huaan County to seek her husband.
"You, Zhou Xuennian, think you can cast aside your old baggage now that you’re successful? No way!
"Dajun, Dajun, come out here!" Madam Lu shouted as she packed, calling for her good-for-nothing son.
Zhou Dajun came out yawning, asking in an ill-tempered voice, "What do you want?"
"Call your brother back and pack up; we’re going to find your father!" Madam Lu said without turning, "Your father, that bastard, struck it rich and wants to abandon us, but no way. We’re going to find him and enjoy the good life!"
Zhou Dajun was taken aback, enjoy the good life?
