Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1458 - 1396: Threat

"You dare to accuse your father!" Wu Lihong couldn’t help but point at Wufu and roar, "This is great disrespect!"

"She doesn’t dare! But I do!" Madam Zhou reached out to Qiu Xiang, stood up with her support, walked to Wu Lihong, and said, "She doesn’t dare, but what about me?"

"You, do you truly disregard our friendship? Just half a year ago, we agreed on everything!" Wu Lihong looked at her with immense heartbreak, "How can you change your mind so quickly? Was your affection for me all fake?"

Madam Zhou’s transformation and determination struck Wu Lihong deeply, shattering his male pride. He thought he was in control, but she turned her back and heartlessly abandoned him!

He had always been the one discarding others, how dare Madam Zhou!

"Precisely out of consideration, I agreed to Wufu’s request. What she suggested is the best solution and also preserves your dignity!" Madam Zhou said, looking at him, "If this truly blows up, how can you possibly benefit? And her..."

She glanced at Madam Wang, a complex mix of sympathy and pity flashing in her eyes, "She at least bore you three children and managed the household for years, don’t you care for her?"

Madam Wang wanted to scream, Madam Zhou pitied her, why should she, she didn’t need her pity!

Madam Zhou wanted nothing of heartless Wu Lihong, yet she sympathized and pitied her?

Why!

"Wufu is grown, she also needs to marry, I need to think of her reputation. Consider me selfish, whatever you like, let’s annul this engagement!" Madam Zhou said, looking at Wu Lihong, "I will take good care of the two children, just as if you left me with some memories!"

Wu Lihong stepped back two steps, saying, "Meiniang, even if I tell you that you are the Legitimate Wife and Wufu the Legitimate Daughter, you still won’t come back with me?"

"There is no need. I am tired, you handle Wufu here!" Madam Zhou withdrew her gaze from Wu Lihong, took Qiu Xiang’s arm, and turned to leave.

Wu Lihong panicked inside, fearing that if he just let her go, there would be no chance of recovery!

But Wufu would not let him entangle further, directly blocking in front of him, saying, "Lord Wu, don’t you think your official seat is too secure?"

Wu Lihong was startled, looking at her, and in this delay, Madam Zhou had already disappeared from his sight, leaving him somewhat dejected: "Must you push me like this? I am your biological father!"

"So, am I not giving you the best method?" Wufu said impatiently, "You should at least pick one, my time is limited, and my patience is thin!"

"This cannot be!" Madam Wang screamed sharply, "Besides this option, what do you want? Silver, I can give it to you!"

Wufu laughed, "Silver? Competing with me in silver? Do I lack money? Zining Pavilion is mine, along with several estates, I might as well tell you, even your Rongxiu Pavilion, I have plenty of silver to buy it, do you believe it?"

Madam Wang froze slightly.

"Nothing is more important than rectifying my mother’s name. So, I advise you to follow my demands, otherwise, we will meet in court, and by then, Lord Wu’s reputation as an official may suffer, and I won’t care!" Wufu said with a wicked face, "By the way, I have a sworn brother who serves as an Imperial Physician to the Crown Prince, do you think if I bear a little grievance to my brother, he might mention Lord Wu’s character in front of the Crown Prince? I imagine for the honorable Crown Prince, finding a reason to remove a fifth-rank official is just a matter of moving his lips together. Not to mention, Lord Wu is the son-in-law of the former Marquis Yongan’s Mansion, who knows if he’s secretly covering anything up!"

The threat, it was an obvious threat, yet it made Wu Lihong and the others turn as pale as earth, their hands and feet stiff.
