Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 625 - 624: If You Don’t Want to Die, Keep Your Mouth Shut

However much hatred she harbored in her heart, he was still her own flesh and blood. After her anger had subsided, Old Lady Zhou called Zhou Xiuer over to ask about the incident.

"Don’t you exaggerate a thing. That girl Purple Jade would never boast; it must have been something your parents did to provoke this. Speak, what exactly happened?" Old Lady Zhou stared intently at Zhou Xiuer.

Zhou Xiuer sniffled and said, "What else could it be? It’s all a trap designed by that Monster Wufu."

Old Lady Zhou felt a twitch in her brow.

"Purple Jade didn’t boast, it was my mother who took it, but it was Wufu who commanded it, purposely luring my mother there so she would succeed. It’s all a trap." Zhou Xiuer spoke angrily, summarizing the events, "How could she be so kind as to allow us to enter? It was all to set a trap to harm us! That Monster, causing such harm to her own Aunt and Uncle, just wait for the thunder to strike her down!"

Old Lady Zhou said coldly, "Enough. Even if it was a trap, had your mother not been greedy and reached out, how would she have fallen into it? All of this, you brought upon yourselves! You had it coming!"

"Grandma, why do you always side with outsiders? I am your own granddaughter, Dad is your own son, my mother is also your daughter-in-law!" Zhou Xiuer complained, "Yet you side with that Monster."

"Keep calling her a Monster, and be careful you might not even be able to save yourself." Zhou Xueli watched his willful niece with a cold eye, she was just like her mother, both corrupted by her upbringing.

Zhou Xiuer retorted, "I know, Uncle, you have always sided with Wufu, but do you not realize, Wufu is no longer Wufu, she’s nothing but a Monster!" Zhou Xueli’s expression darkened.

"Isn’t it so? Was the previous Wufu ever as cold-blooded and merciless, so vicious as she is now? Wufu has long been dead, the current Wufu is nothing more than a Monster possessing her body!" Zhou Xiuer, seeing his disbelief, couldn’t help but voice her own convictions.

"You shut your mouth!" Old Lady Zhou shouted, "Raise your voice any higher, do you believe she won’t come and pull out your tongue? You won’t even know how you died!"

Zhou Xiuer’s face turned pale, her lips quivering, yet she feigned strength, "I’ll say it right here, I don’t believe she has ears that can hear from a thousand miles away!"

Old Lady Zhou looked at her foolish granddaughter, no different from her mother, and said in a stern voice, "Your parents underestimated her, and that’s how they ended up in jail. Think about it, if you spread these words, do you think she won’t come for you? Have you forgotten what happened to your elder brother?"

Only then did Zhou Xiuer become frightened, remembering Wufu’s chilling gaze, she shivered violently.

"Scared now? If you are scared and don’t want to die, then keep your mouth shut," Old Lady Zhou said with icy eyes.

Zhou Xiuer pressed her lips tightly together.

"Go on, your elder brother is now useless, and your parents, who knows when they will be back. In your household, you are the only lady left; you’ve grown up now. You will take care of things these days," Old Lady Zhou waved her hand tiredly.

Zhou Xiuer left reluctantly, and, looking at the dark sky, felt a sense of hopelessness about the future.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xueli realized something and frowned, "Mother, what Xiuer said..."

"Most likely it’s true, I’m afraid it really was a trap. But so what? They narrowed down on Madam Lu’s character and enticed her with a tactic that was irresistible, who’s to blame?" Old Lady Zhou spoke coldly, "Don’t bother with them, let them squat in jail. They might learn a lesson from it, then they’ll know their place."

This meant she had no plans to seek help or make arrangements for those two to be released anytime soon.

Zhou Xueli thought it over and felt that it might indeed be better this way, perhaps more peaceful days lay ahead.
