Doted By The Regent Chapter 710 - 709 Wen Congrui’s Fury

Chapter 710: Chapter 709 Wen Congrui’s Fury

Detested by her family, despised by her in-laws, Madam Lu held back her grievances, not daring to talk back to her mother-in-law at this ti because things were no longer as they had been before.

If it had been in the past, she might have been able to argue back a few words when her mother-in-law spoke of a divorce letter, with her family backing her up, but now, what did she have? Her family now treated her as if she was toxic, clearly unwilling to associate with her, and besides, her family had retreated back to Lu Family Village, so how could they support her?

So, no matter how much Madam Lu hated things, she could only swallow her bitterness in secret, curse and berate Wufu privately, even made a voodoo doll to stick needles into and beat with slippers, but to go over and start trouble?

She dared not!

Zhou Xuennian dared not either!

After learning about Madam Lu’s family troubles, and the previous series of hardships, although he felt resentnt, he dared not settle accounts with Wufu, afraid that even worse things awaited him.

Thus, the people of the Zhou family and the Lu Family reached an unspoken consensus quite extraordinarily; they all showed fear towards the young girl who was just reaching the age of marriage, talking behind her back was one thing, but to openly provoke her was to court death.

In this way, Wufu and her family finally lived their days in peace.

Listening to Purple Jade’s report of these developnts, Wufu also finished the final cut on the Peach Blossom Hairpin, put down the carving knife, and said, "It seems, you have quite an appreciation for this lad nad Hou Ling!"

Purple Jade smiled and said, "He has potential, just too young and inexperienced."

Wufu said, "No matter how much you appreciate him, you can’t possibly recruit him to serve as my slave."

"That’s true."

"You’ve worked hard, and done well, at least the Lu Family hasn’t co knocking yet!" Wufu said with raised eyebrows.

Purple Jade replied, "Even if they guessed it, they probably wouldn’t dare to co knocking. Really have a death wish, have they?"

Wufu took a piece of sandpaper and said, "As long as the green hills are there, there will be no worry about firewood. They may not co knocking now, but who’s to say about later?"

"However, by the ti they co into their own, the young lady won’t be the sa young lady anymore!"

Wufu laughed heartily, "You’re right, a high starting point does have its disadvantages."

Purple Jade couldn’t help but laugh.

"You go rest, it’s not too late to serve after a good break!" Wufu, looking at the Peach Blossom Hairpin in her hand, said, "Prepare a case for ."

Purple Jade glanced at the hairpin in her hand and smiled in agreent.

anwhile, at the County Governnt Office, Wen Congrui listened to the report from Nan Shan and felt his anger surge.

"So, it’s that Mo Jiu’s doing again?" Wen Congrui frowned.

In the diseased pig case, he didn’t care much about the Lu Family’s guilt; they were just scapegoats. His focus was on the diseased pigs—where they ca from and what they might cause.

After all, should the diseased pigs truly spread as an epidemic, it would be a disaster of epic proportions, a catastrophe for Nanyue, because epidemics are the most feared viruses.

"The Mo Family has a dicinal ingredient shop, and they also make dicine. The dicine they produce is specifically for pigs, resembling a virus for swine fever, which is indeed convenient," Nan Shan reported.

"Are you sure he’s the ninth son of the Mo Family without a doubt?" Wen Congrui asked, not yet convinced.

Even though Nan Shan had already found out that the ninth son of the Mo Family was indeed inspecting their enterprises in Nanyue, Wen Congrui always felt sothing was amiss. It was his many years of sensitivity that made him suspect sothing off about Mo Jiu.

Nan Shan hesitated for a mont, then said, "Based on the information we have, there’s no doubt about it."

Wen Congrui huffed, slamd his fist down on the table with rage and said, "Prepare yourself, I’m going to pay this Mo Jiu a visit."

Utterly abhorrent, creating such a situation, what is he trying to do, incite civil unrest in Nanyue? Or has he gone so far as to turn against my authority!
