Doted By The Regent King

Chapter 1709 - 1647: The Master Hua Who Was Abducted

Wufu, covered in snowflakes, leaped down from the rooftop and landed in her own courtyard, seeing Ah Jiu standing under the porch with a large cloak in hand.

"You’re back." Ah Jiu walked over, draped the cloak over her shoulders, and brushed the snowflakes off her head, saying, "Let’s talk inside; the snow is getting heavy."

"Hmm."

With his arm around her shoulders, Wufu entered the room, a wave of warmth hit her. Besides a few charcoal braziers, there was a medicine pot simmering on a Small Red Furnace.

She took off the cloak and warmed her hands by the brazier to chase away the chill, then sat on the beauty couch by the eastern window, accepting the tea Ah Jiu handed over.

The tea was warm longan and red date tea. She took a sip, the sweet flavor slid down her throat, warming her stomach.

"The herbal dish is still simmering, rest a bit before eating; it’s all vegetarian ingredients, won’t interfere with our mourning," Ah Jiu added.

"Hmm." Wufu patted the spot next to her, waiting for Ah Jiu to sit down. She leaned against him, wrapped her hands around his waist, and said, "You’re not asking me anything."

"No need to ask, and you don’t need to explain." Ah Jiu hugged her shoulders, saying, "I already know."

"I just want her to know, even if I reveal everything, I’m not afraid of her dirty tricks. I want her to live in unknown fear!" Wufu said calmly, "Death isn’t really frightening; what’s most terrifying is living a life worse than death. When she watches the things she guards crumble bit by bit, she’ll taste that pain."

Just like I did.

Didn’t I also try so hard to protect those important people, but that protection was shattered, I tasted that pain, so bitter.

"Hmm, you’ve been exhausted these days, rest well and leave the rest to me." Ah Jiu kissed her on the top of her head.

Wufu closed her eyes.

"Wufu, what will you do about Changsheng?" Changsheng, was the nickname of Wufu’s little brother; they hoped for his healthy growth.

Wufu suddenly opened her eyes, raised her head to look at him: "What do you mean, what will I do?"

"Uncle... uh, Master Hua over there..."

"You’re not trying to act as an intermediary for him, are you?" Wufu frowned, "Changsheng should of course stay with his sister. What, you as the brother-in-law, can’t even support your little brother-in-law?"

"Nonsense!" Ah Jiu glared at her and said, "Regardless of Master Hua’s intentions, I see he genuinely cares for Changsheng."

Recently, Hua Wushuang has almost stayed in the mansion every day. After people found out he was Wufu’s uncle, they treated him as an elder, calling him Uncle Master.

And this Uncle Master most frequently visits the little lord’s courtyard, carrying him, hugging him, even learned to change diapers. To those unaware, they might think he was the kid’s father.

Wufu snorted: "Of course he genuinely wants to take my brother away." She paused before adding, "He can’t lead Changsheng astray; his Unparalleled Tower..."

"Wufu." Ah Jiu disapprovingly shook his head, her words were too suspicious, almost slandering.

The existence of Unparalleled Tower is Hua Wushuang’s own matter. Would he truly treat his nephew like the Little Rabbit Lord?

Wufu sheepishly touched her nose and said, "Anyway, he’s like a kidnapper with bad intentions."

Ah Jiu said, "Isn’t it good for Changsheng to have more people caring for him? A boy needs a father-like figure for guidance."

Wufu lightly snorted: "How can he guide? I’m already showing leniency by not blocking him from seeing Changsheng. They say he’s an uncle; that’s just his side of the story."

Who truly knows what the truth is!
