Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1395 - 1393: Negotiations Break Down

Wufu listened to Old Madam Wu’s words and laughed out loud.

"Why are you laughing?" Old Madam Wu was full of displeasure; this girl was not only difficult but also rude.

"Don’t say my mother didn’t plan to marry again, even if she wanted to, it was you who broke off the engagement first. My mother has waited all these years, it’s more than enough." Wufu strolled forward, looked at her, and continued, "Besides, Old Madam, the one who has remarried now is Lord Wu, not my mother. So, the one who is free to marry is your son."

This was mockery, ridiculing Wu Lihong for writing the marriage certificate without calling off the engagement, considering it a groundless breach.

"He was young at the time, what did he know? He just scribbled something. His father and I knew nothing about this, so his marriage certificate naturally doesn’t count." Old Madam Wu hurriedly said, "Even if you hold onto it, it’s useless."

"Since Old Madam thinks this way, why rush here to demand the marriage certificate? If you say it doesn’t count, then let us keep it as a memento!" Wufu called Mo Lan, "See the guest out."

Mo Lan walked over.

Old Madam Wu got anxious; indeed, this was a troublesome little girl and said angrily, "What do you really want?" She turned to Madam Zhou: "Madam Zhou, are you going to let her make a fuss? If this matter escalates, it’s not good for the girl’s reputation! You want her to marry into a good family, right? A woman’s reputation is crucial, regardless of whether she acknowledges her father or not, everyone knows she’s his daughter with this face."

Madam Zhou lowered her eyelids and did not reply.

Seeing this, Old Madam Wu became furious and was about to say more when Wufu coldly said, "Old Madam, don’t scare my mother anymore. She’s timid, and pregnant, cannot withstand your intimidation. If there’s an issue, target me."

"You know that’s not what I mean!" Old Madam Wu said softly, "Since you’re protecting your mother and brother so much, you know if this matter causes a stir, it does no good for anyone, especially you as a woman, not to mention your mother’s unborn child. He is Hong Er’s flesh and blood. If things get bigger, what good will it do him in the future? Even if he manages to pass the imperial exams, won’t people use this matter to attack him?"

Wufu chuckled quietly, "Old Madam, not to mention this child isn’t born yet, even if he is born and grows up, how many years will have passed? Who would remember such ancient matters? Besides, if we are to discuss faults, who was wrong first? The one you should worry about is still your son’s future!"

Old Madam Wu trembled all over, "What do you want!"

"Regarding the marriage certificate, it’s not that it can’t count." Wufu teased.

Old Madam Wu’s eyes brightened, eagerly asking, "What are your demands?"

Wufu shrugged, "Sorry, I haven’t thought of any yet!"

"You! You!" Old Madam Wu, trembling with anger, stood up and pointed at her, "You, you’re simply insolent! Disrespecting elders and being unfilial."

Wufu’s face remained impassive, "Old Madam, what relation do we have? You are the guest, I am the host, is this how you scold the host? Mo Lan, see the guest out!"

"Old Madam, please!" Mo Lan blocked her hand.

"Fine, fine, I’ll keep my eyes wide open to see what you can do and what good you can gain!" Old Madam Wu said, with an anger-concealing smile, "I’ll see if you really want to be unfilial and look if the heavens don’t punish you, not recognizing your father’s clan, watch the sky above your head."

"And you!" Old Madam Wu pointed at Madam Zhou coldly, "To refuse a favor when offered. Madam Zhou, you’ll regret it!"

Wufu’s face darkened, "See the guest out!"

Old Madam Wu flung her sleeves and left in a fit of rage.
