Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 601 - 600 Slap in the Face

A family?

Wufu snorted, "Who’s in the same family as you, with such a big face and yet no shame at all?"

"Do you truly not recognize your own older brother?" Zhou Xuennian glared angrily at Madam Zhou, who still stood at the door.

She has turned against me. There are elders present here; when is it the junior’s place to speak?

Ying Mei is soft by nature; seeking her out would certainly not be wrong.

As soon as Zhou Xuennian began to question her, it was like poking a hornet’s nest. Wufu stepped forward, shielding Madam Zhou, and said to her, "Mother, let’s go inside."

Madam Zhou’s lips twitched.

Wufu looked at Qiu Xiang, who smartly took Madam Zhou’s hand, saying, "Madam, leave this to your daughter."

Madam Zhou sighed inwardly, no longer looking at Zhou Xuennian, and turned to enter the house, vanishing from sight very soon after.

This move changed the expressions of Zhou Xuennian and the others.

If Madam Zhou were present, with her soft-hearted nature, they might still have been able to leverage some familial affection to gain entry, but with her absence and facing Wufu, a thorn in the flesh, what good could they expect?

"Zhou Xuennian, it seems that jail has not been a lesson for you, and nor did Zhou Dajun’s incident serve as a warning," Wufu spoke coldly.

"You little wretch..." Zhou Xuennian cursed, unable to contain his anger.

"Jadeite, slap his face."

Before the others could react, they saw a figure clad in green swiftly move forward, and with three loud slaps, resonating clearly.

After delivering the blows, the figure spun around and lithely landed beside Wufu, while Zhou Xuennian’s face swelled up, a trace of blood visible at the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Xuennian felt a burning pain on his face, a sickly sweetness in his mouth, and sensing something inside, he involuntarily bent down and spat out, with two teeth and blood hitting the ground.

"Husband!" Madam Lu cried out in terror.

Zhou Xiuer, too, was pale as a sheet, clinging to Madam Lu’s side, cautiously watching Wufu’s cold face.

"You, how dare you strike your uncle; are you not afraid of divine retaliation?" Zhou Xuennian pointed at Wufu and exclaimed.

Wufu glanced at the finger, "Point it one more time, and you won’t have fingers left to point with."

Zhou Xuennian quickly withdrew his finger, glaring at her fiercely.

"As for divine retribution, if someone like you hasn’t been struck by lightning, why would it be my turn?" Wufu scoffed, scanning the servant from the Ping Family and Ma Family who were watching from a distance, and said, "Take the chance while I’m still reasonable, and get lost!"

"You, I will report you for your disobedience and lack of filial piety," Zhou Xuennian shouted, throwing off Madam Lu’s hand in rage.

Wufu paused mid-step and turned around.

A glint of joy sparked in Zhou Xuennian’s heart; she was scared, wasn’t she? Let’s see if she still wants her reputation.

"You are about to reach the age of marriage, and I see how, with your reputation for disobedience and lack of filial piety spreading, anyone would dare to take you," Zhou Xuennian said with a smug smile.

Wufu laughed in disdain, "Who do you think you are to accuse me? What are you to me? Even genuine children and fathers can sever ties, let alone a so-called uncle? Zhou Xuennian, go ahead and accuse, I might even thank you. With my wealth in gold and silver, I’m not worried about not finding a match. Ridiculous!"

She had no intention of marrying anyway, and as for her reputation, she was not a true ancient, she had no fears!

"You..."

Wufu looked at them with pity, "You’re not leaving, is that it? Are you sure you want to enter my home? As long as you don’t regret it later, I’ll let you in."

What, let them in?

Such a sudden turnaround?

Zhou Xiuer’s heart surged with joy, as she eagerly stepped forward, pretending to be affectionate as she took Wufu’s hand, "Cousin, I knew you still remember our affection from childhood."

Idiot!

Purple Jade muttered under her breath, any fool could understand that her lady’s words were not kindly meant.
