Doted By The Regent King

Chapter 1720 - 1658: She Won’t Give Up

Wu Lihong slapped Madam Wang hard, causing a trace of blood to ooze from the corner of her mouth, and her hair was disheveled.

She tilted her head and looked at Wu Lihong with slanted eyes, laughing menacingly, "Go ahead and hit me, just kill me! Anyway, Ningning already belongs to someone else, she will die at Prince Wei’s Manor if she does die, Yuyu is ruined too, and I have nothing to fall back on for the rest of my life, just kill me!"

"Kill me to avenge your precious Cinnabar Mole, get justice for your precious daughter." Madam Wang shrieked, "If you kill me, I can make room for you to marry a noblewoman from a powerful family, and everyone will be happy!"

"You’ve done wrong and dare to be so self-righteous, you’re simply unreasonable!" Wu Lihong looked at her with disgust, immensely disappointed, the crazed woman before him no longer resembled the noblewoman she once was from the former residence of a count.

"I’m unreasonable? Why don’t you ask what that girl did?" Madam Wang sneered, "The downfall of my maternal family, your loss of office, it’s all her doing, she’s been watching our family from the shadows for a long time. She’s like a wolf, lurking in the dark watching us, occasionally reaching out to claw us, watching us suffer, seeing us bleed rivers of blood, like it’s all a game, and she’s laughing at it."

Wu Lihong was dumbfounded, shocked beyond belief, how could this be?

"You thought she was just an innocent little white rabbit? Pah! She is a fierce and bloodthirsty wolf, she wants to see us suffer, to make us look bad. If not for her, would my maternal family fall? Would you be stuck as a fifth-rank official? Would our family be in constant chaos? All of this is her doing! And who brought this wolf into our lives, it was you, Wu Lihong!"

Wu Lihong stepped back two paces.

Madam Wang’s tears fell as she laughed bitterly, "Now you see it, Ningning has entered that accursed place and we can’t even see her, you might as well consider her gone as a daughter. And Yuyu, he is only a little over ten, he has a long road ahead, what will you have him do?"

"Is it not because you as the mother did not educate them well?" Wu Lihong retorted forcefully.

"Yes, it’s all because I didn’t educate them well! And what about you as the father, did you educate them well?" Madam Wang sneered, "Besides dragging one woman after another to bed, what else can you do?"

"Silence!" Wu Lihong shouted in anger and shame, "It is the Matriarch’s responsibility to educate the children, how dare you shirk your responsibility after failing at it? Madam Wang, where did you get your audacity?"

Madam Wang was not afraid of him in the slightest, responding coldly, "Just wait, this isn’t over, that wolf cub definitely won’t let it rest, she wants to see the Wu Family fall, wants to see me suffering more than death."

"Even if she’s a wolf, wasn’t it because you harbored ill intentions, that girl is someone who distinguishes between grace and grievance, you harmed her mother, how could she possibly leave it at that?" Wu Lihong said coldly.

Madam Wang’s heart throbbed with pain, yes, she had been rash, she hadn’t figured out the enemy, hadn’t known the opponent’s background, from the very beginning she had lost the upper hand, regretting it immensely.

The couple stood in confrontation.

"Madam, Madam." Qing Lian stood trembling at the door.

Both of them looked over together.

"Something, something happened." Qing Lian said, her face white as a sheet, "That Wei Da is in front of the Yamen saying Madam attempted to assassinate a good citizen, and it is related to the death of Madam Lu from Rongxiu Pavilion years ago, that one called Xiaodie has submitted a grievance at the Yamen, accusing Madam of murdering her mother. Madam, people from the Yamen have come, they want to take Madam for questioning."

Madam Wang’s mind buzzed, and she sat down on the bed with a thud, finally, it had come.
