Chapter 1432: Chapter 1370: My Daughter Is About to Be Swayed Away
Before going to the estate, Wufu also had to inform Madam Zhou, as it wouldnât be appropriate to leave for days without saying anything.
Madam Zhou was momentarily stunned when she heard that Wufu was going to the estate with Ah Jiu. She took Wufuâs hand and sat her down on the beauty chaise.
"Wufu, who exactly is this Ah Jiu?" Madam Zhou recalled what Ah Jiu had mentioned about his family. "He came to pay his respects to me and spoke of his family, which is quite large, and heâs the youngest child, which left me a bit confused. You and he are...?"
She looked at her daughter cautiously and asked, "Be honest with me, you and this Ah Jiu, are you, um, are you fond of him?"
Seeing the anxiety in her eyes, Wufu found herself smiling, then said, "I have told Mother before, Ah Jiu is from Beiyan, right?"
Madam Zhou nodded.
"Once you have given birth, we will go to Beiyan to be with him."
Madam Zhou widened her eyes, was thisâ for that Ah Jiu?
"You and him?"
Wufu shrugged and said boldly, "Yes, Ah Jiu and I have romantic feelings for each other. If nothing unexpected happens, I will marry him, and he will be your son-in-law in the future!"
Indeed!
Madam Zhouâs body trembled slightly as she grabbed her hand, "You silly girl, you..." she took a deep breath and said, "Since he is from Beiyan, do you know what situation he is in? You dare to give him your heart?"
Oh no, could her daughter be as foolish as she was in her youth? She just knew itâAh Jiuâs actions seemed a bit peculiar, almost trying to please her, probably aiming to take away her Wufu!
Men are indeed all the same!
"Mother, donât you know my temperament? The person I fancy is naturally someone I truly admire. No matter his situation, as long as he is true to me, my heart will be his!" Wufu said with a smile as she stood up, "Iâm headed to the estate now, Iâll be back in a couple of days!"
"Stay there. You, Wufu, you mustnât be as foolish as I was. No matter how fond you are, until youâre married, you two must not be reckless!" Madam Zhou warned, unusually stern, "I wonât agree to you following in my footsteps!"
She had already paid dearly for her own mistakes and couldnât allow her daughter to follow the same path.
"Mother, donât get worked up, youâll scare my brother." Wufu assisted her to sit down, touched her belly, and said, "I promise you!"
Only then did Madam Zhou breathe a sigh of relief. It was rare for her to be so assertive, fearing that this girl might be too headstrong and not listen.
"I wonât let myself be caught in an awkward position, donât worry!" Wufu smiled, assuring that she wonât give Ah Jiu that opportunity.
Madam Zhou nodded, "If he truly is sincere with you, he should earnestly seek marriage. My daughter wonât marry without the three letters and the Liu Li rites."
"Alright."
Madam Zhou opened her mouth but said no more. She had to admit, her daughter was better than her, unlikely to be as useless.
"You be careful."
Wufu smiled, agreed, and walked to the door, but turned back to say, "Mother, Iâm aware of Ah Jiuâs situation. He is a prince of Beiyan, the son of the current Empress Dowager of Beiyan. In the future, your son-in-law will be an esteemed prince. Anticipate him serving you tea."
Madam Zhou was stunned, watching her disappear out the door, taking quite a while to come to her senses.
"Qiu Xiang."
"Yes?"
"Pinch me quickly, I fear I might be dreaming?" Madam Zhou stretched out her trembling hand.
Qiu Xiang said with a laugh, "Madam, itâs certainly not a dream. You and the young lady have blessings ahead!"
Madam Zhou let out a sigh, oh Heaven, what kind of person did her Wufu attract? Each more astonishing than the last!
