Doted By The Regent King

Chapter 1676 - 1614: Why Don’t You Just Die

Madam Lu’s venomous curse caused Madam Zhou to feel particularly disheartened and concerned. After all, her childbirth was imminent, and given her age, she naturally hoped for a safe delivery. But the other party had cursed her to not be able to give birth, and having heard this, how could she not be affected?

"How is Madam Lu?" Madam Zhou asked casually after drinking the fetus-preserving medicine.

Qiu Xiang replied, "Madam, Purple Jade will handle this matter. You should rest and not worry."

Madam Zhou responded with a hum, closed her eyes, and said, "Tell Purple Jade to send them back, and seal a package of funeral money to be delivered to Xueli in Wozi Village."

Qiu Xiang acknowledged her words and assisted her in lying down.

Madam Zhou had things on her mind, making it impossible for her to sleep. The more she worried, the more it affected her, with occasional pains in her abdomen making her uneasy.

Meanwhile, Madam Lu and Zhou Xiuer were thrown into the woodshed, only then realizing the trouble they had caused.

"What do you want to do? Let us out." Madam Lu rushed to the woodshed door, banging and shouting, "Zhou Meiniang, what do you intend to do? Open the door, open it!"

The door was suddenly pulled open from the outside, and a fierce guard stood at the entrance staring her down, saying, "If you shout again, I’ll cut your tongue out."

Madam Lu immediately covered her mouth, her eyes filled with fear.

The guard snorted.

"Step aside, I want to see your Madam." Madam Lu rushed forward.

The guard drew the knife from his waist, and with the scabbard, pushed her back, saying, "Thanks to you, Madam is unwell now. If she recovers and gives birth smoothly, so be it. But if not... humph, then you better pray!"

After he finished speaking, he slammed the door shut.

Madam Lu was a bit dazed, taking a moment before she yelled, "Let me out..."

"Stop yelling." Zhou Xiuer’s voice was filled with disgust and annoyance: "Will it only be enough if you die? If you really die, I would be able to stay with Yongyong here with aunt."

"Rebel daughter, what are you saying?" Madam Lu couldn’t believe her ears.

Zhou Xiuer sneered, "Did I say anything wrong? You refused to stay in a bright and spacious room, insisting on making trouble to squat in the woodshed. In this cold weather, we’ll soon freeze to death here, which is exactly what you wanted!"

"You, you ungrateful daughter, I am your mother, how dare you speak to me like this?"

"You are my mother? I thought you were my enemy! Look at our situation, we’re already relying on others, and you still dare to create such a fuss with aunt. Who do you think you are?" Zhou Xiuer looked at her with immense disgust: "You brought this trouble upon yourself, but why do you have to drag me and Yongyong into it? What do we owe you? Father was right, you really are as dull as a pig, just like the pigs your Lu Family used to slaughter — stupid, foolish, and dumb."

Slap!

Madam Lu slapped her across the face, trembling with rage: "Ungrateful daughter, how dare you scold your mother? Don’t forget, I am your birth mother, and even if I kill you, no one can blame me. You dare to lecture me, you’ve rebelled!"

The slap left a red, swollen mark. Zhou Xiuer held her cheek, her eyes cold.

Madam Lu felt uneasy under her gaze, but remained defiant: "What are you looking at? Did I say something wrong?"

This girl must have gone mad, her gaze so venomous.

"You didn’t say anything wrong, I am indeed an ungrateful daughter, and I wish for your death!" Zhou Xiuer’s mouth moved softly, squeezing out the words: "Father died, you should die too. Then Yongyong and I could become orphans, and aunt wouldn’t be able to drive us away! Go die, you should just die."

Madam Lu looked shocked, her body trembled slightly, and she unconsciously took two steps back.
