443: Chapter 443: The Illegitimate Daughter

The independent character that was nurtured in my past life has made Wufu a cold-hearted person.

She reciprocated kindness and returned enmity a hundredfold.

.

She always felt having fewer ties would allow one to live more freely.

If she had been an orphan in this world without a father or mother, she probably would have been happier than she is now; but having a mother was sothing she couldn’t avoid.

And this mother wasn’t bad to her, so she had to accept this bond.

Madam Zhou was not a bad person, but rather timid, yet her love for her daughter was genuine.

Similarly, her love for him was also genuine; otherwise, she wouldn’t have stubbornly waited and not allowed Wufu to speak ill of him.

But if you were to ask Wufu herself, she would never want to acknowledge such a man as her father.

A man without commitnt and responsibility, who would leave after getting what he wanted, was such a scum worthy of being her father?

Don’t talk about being in a hurry; if he truly had the heart, he could have taken her ho with him.

Even if that wasn’t possible, he could have co to take her back later, but instead, he never returned, completely forgetting her.

So, she would be a fool to acknowledge such a scum as her father!

“Don’t look at

with such probing eyes; I am really telling the truth; I never thought about acknowledging him.

I just asked the scribe to investigate to see if that man is alive or dead, and to help my mother get over it!” Wufu, seeing that knowing look in Ah Jiu’s eyes, as if she harbored resentnt yet Ah Jiu understood, felt goosebumps all over.

Ah Jiu said, “I was mistaken, thinking that you wanted to acknowledge your ancestors and escape your current identity.”

“Don’t even think about it, I have no interest in self-torture.” Wufu said disdainfully, “That man, to , is just a stranger who provided a sperm.

Am I supposed to run after him crying and calling him father?

Don’t be silly!”

Pfft!

Ah Jiu spat out the tea that she had just sipped, coughing continuously and her face flushed red.

“Do you always have to speak so shockingly?” How could she, a young lady, speak so openly about that word?

Wufu sheepishly smiled, “I spoke without thinking, haha.” She picked up her tea and took a couple of sips to cover her embarrassnt.

Okay, she had montarily forgotten that the person in front of her was from ancient tis, not a modern man; what she said was indeed a bit too shaless!

Ah Jiu also felt awkward and changed the subject: “Now that you have so leads, what do you plan to do?”

Wufu let out a sigh.

“I don’t know.”

Initially, she wanted to search because she couldn’t stand the sight of Madam Zhou pining away like a lovesick statue.

Later, when there was no news, she forgot about it, but unexpectedly, there was news now.

And just as she had expected, the man had already married and had children, and his family was quite distinguished, far from being an ordinary household.

“In such a situation, if my mother were to recognize him, would she be no more than a concubine?” Wufu asked.

This question sounded peculiar, as if she were ignorant of common customs, but Ah Jiu took it as her being inexperienced in worldly matters.

“Matters of marriage rely on the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmakers.

Without a matchmaker, any clandestine relations or privately-fixated marriage are not recognized.

Since I don’t know the circumstances of your mother with that man, if there is no Marriage Certificate and no proper ceremony was held, then she cannot be considered the Legitimate Wife.

Even if they were to acknowledge each other, she could only be a concubine.

And you would be illegitimate.”

Hearing this explanation, Wufu’s expression darkened.

A concubine was, after all, a minor wife, and being illegitimate…

tsk, simply hearing it was distasteful.

Indeed, not acknowledging him was the correct choice.

“Please Ninth Master, do not reveal this man to my mother.” Wufu rose and gave him a bow of thanks.

She needed to probe into Madam Zhou’s thoughts further.
