Chapter 1101: Chapter 1099: Go Find Your Bastard Father
Zhou Xiuerâs future was tied to Madam Zhouâs decision. Once Madam Zhou made up her mind, Xiuerâs fate was sealed, regardless of her tears or tantrums; she would have no choice but to return.
Consequently, seeing Madam Zhouâs cold expression, Zhou Xiuerâs 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 didnât 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 Xiuerâs 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 Wufuâs plans.
Wu Lihongâs 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.
Thus, the decision to go to Changan City was joyfully settled. As soon as Purple Jade took care of settling Wufuâs 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 Zhouâs 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 hadnât 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 Luâs mind raced; wasnât it said that men turn bad when they have money, and itâs 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 wasnât disgraceful? Why keep it from her and the family?
"Zhou Xuennian, you bastard, you better hope itâs not what Iâm thinking; otherwise, Iâll 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 youâre 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; weâre 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. Weâre going to find him and enjoy the good life!"
Zhou Dajun was taken aback, enjoy the good life?
