Doted By The Regent King

Chapter 1674 - 1612: Shameless

Seeing that Madam Zhou not only refused to deal with Zhou Xuennian’s death, but also wanted to drive her and her children back to Wozi Village without care, Madam Lu’s anger surged within her. She had been waiting for this day; she simply wanted to discard their family.

The anger gave birth to courage.

"Zhou Meiniang, are you so heartless? That’s your own brother, can you just watch him die unjustly without caring?" Madam Lu impulsively spewed venomous words, fueled by her rage: "Zhou Meiniang, how can your heart be so dark? That’s your dear brother, he died wrongfully, and you haven’t shed a tear or stood up for him. Can you still call yourself human? Aren’t you afraid of Heaven above?"

"Enough!" Purple Jade shouted.

Madam Lu flung off Zhou Xiuer’s hand that was desperately pulling her, and said, "Go on, scream and curse. If you have the guts, kill me. Anyway, we can’t survive; killing us would mean we reunite with the dead. Zhou Meiniang, you’re so ruthless; no wonder you’ll give birth prematurely. Heaven surely can’t stand it anymore. Just wait; you won’t even be able to give birth..."

Slap! Slap!

Like the wind, Purple Jade came over and slapped Madam Lu twice on her face, then drew out a Soft Sword from her waist, pointed it at Madam Lu’s throat, her expression fierce: "Do you think I don’t dare to kill you?"

Indeed, one shouldn’t have too much sympathy, especially for such a bizarre creature. It was for considering she just lost her husband that she spoke kindly, but this person is ungrateful!

The Green Sword, gleaming coldly, was right in front of her, at her throat. Madam Lu was so frightened that her legs began to tremble, her whole body shivering, yet she still spoke bravely, but timidly: "You, you dare? Killing someone deserves retribution!"

Purple Jade sneered, "You’re right, I don’t dare, but..." She swung the sword, slicing Madame Lu’s hair bun.

With a clink, the silver ornaments fell, and some strands of hair scattered on the ground, the bun already undone.

Madam Lu began to scream, her eyes rolling, and a foul stench wafted out.

Zhou Xiuer turned pale with fright.

"Not killing you is to avoid shedding blood before Madam." Purple Jade sneered, just about to say more, when Qiu Xiang urgently called for Madam Zhou from behind.

Purple Jade looked back, only to see Madam Zhou holding her stomach, her face pale.

"Drag them out." Purple Jade instructed the maid, pointing at Madam Lu and her group: "Lock them in the wood storage!"

"What, Purple Jade, you wretched maid, you dare... mmm." Madam Lu’s mouth was gagged, and she was dragged away.

"Aunt." Zhou Xiuer just glanced at Madam Zhou and called out once, but dared not say more, as Madam Zhou’s face was truly terrifying.

Madam Zhou gasped heavily, looked at Purple Jade, and asked, "What, what premature birth?"

Purple Jade reassured her, "Madam, don’t worry, she’s just so anxious that she’s speaking nonsense."

"You’re still hiding from me." Madam Zhou frowned, "Was it that Senior Doctor who said it, said I’m going to have a premature birth? So I’ve been taking fetus-preserving medicine these days."

"Madam..."

But Qiu Xiang suddenly screamed, pointing to Madam Zhou’s lower body, her hands trembling.

Madam Zhou and Purple Jade looked at the same time, seeing the plain dress stained red, their hearts sank.

"Go call the doctor, find the Midwife, prepare fetus-preserving medicine." Purple Jade immediately instructed Qiu Xiang, then came forward, saying, "Madam, let me carry you into the room."

Madam Zhou felt a bit panicked, feeling her stomach dropping with waves of pain, so she nodded, and let Purple Jade carry her into the bedchamber.
