Doted By The Regent King

Chapter 1671 - 1609: Your Father Is Gone

Your dad is gone!

Those four short words made Zhou Xiuer’s mind explode, and the handkerchief in her hands lightly fell to the ground.

"You say, my dad is gone?" Zhou Xiuer’s lips twitched as she spoke with a wooden face.

"Accept my condolences."

"My dad is gone?" Zhou Xiuer lowered her head and murmured, "My dad is gone."

"Who is gone?" Madam Lu loudly asked at the door.

Did she hear wrong, did this girl really say Xiuxiu’s dad is gone?

Purple Jade looked at them and said, "The news just came from Huaan, Elder Master Zhou has already been taken home by Second Master Zhou for the funeral. As for Zhou Dajun, he disappeared while escaping on the way to exile, and his life or death is now unknown."

Upon hearing this, Madam Lu let out a piercing wail and collapsed to the ground.

Purple Jade sighed and didn’t call for a doctor. She calmly went forward and pinched Madam Lu’s philtrum hard, leaving a red mark with her nails, causing Madam Lu to open her eyes in pain.

"Oh my husband, his father, how could you leave us orphans and widows behind and just go. Ah, I can’t live, I can’t live!" Madam Lu slapped her thighs and cried sharply.

Zhou Xiuer was also crying silently. Though her words were harsh, she hadn’t expected Zhou Xuennian to actually die like this.

She had become a child without a father!

And another thing, her dad was dead, her elder brother ran away, it was inevitable that she, her mother, and Yongyong would also have to return to Wozi Village for the funeral, even if the person was already buried, they still had to go back to mourn.

Otherwise, if their father died and they didn’t go back to the funeral and mourning, it would be the height of disrespect and the world’s saliva would drown her.

Is there no getting away from Wozi Village after all?

Once back for the mourning, when would they be able to come out again?

Zhou Xiuer felt her future was bleak and was completely lost.

...

Madam Lu’s cries were so loud they almost reached the clouds. Madam Zhou was being supported by Qiu Xiang and others, strolling in the garden when suddenly hearing this wailing, she was startled.

"Who is crying?" Madam Zhou stopped her steps. Upon hearing this, Qingqing frowned, this sounded like her sister-in-law Madam Lu’s voice.

Why was she crying like this, someone who didn’t know might think her mother died.

"Let’s go take a look." Madam Zhou turned towards the courtyard where Madam Lu was staying.

Qiu Xiang felt a bit helpless, but had to follow her carefully over there.

Madam Zhou appeared at the courtyard door, and the sharp-eyed Zhou Xiuer saw her first and darted over: "Aunt."

Li Guo quickly stepped in front of Madam Zhou, and Zhou Xiuer directly bumped into her, bouncing back and falling to the ground.

"Aunt." Zhou Xiuer sat on the ground, looked towards Madam Zhou with grievance and despair.

"What happened?" Madam Zhou asked with a frown, letting the old woman beside her step aside.

"Aunt." Zhou Xiuer got up, hugged Madam Zhou’s arm, laid her head on her shoulder and cried, "Aunt, Xiuer has lost her dad, Xiuer has only you, Aunt."

Qiu Xiang on the side twitched her lips, thinking are your mother and brother dead to you?

And Madam Zhou was somewhat stunned, her dad was gone?

"Meiniang, Meiniang, your elder brother is dead." Madam Lu, hair disheveled, ran over and plopped down at her feet crying: "Your brother is dead, he left us orphans and widows and went away. That heartless dead man, he’s so cruel, how do I live from now on? How do we, mother and children, live?"

The mother and daughter cried loudly together, the cries were sharp and loud, making Madam Zhou’s eardrums throb with pain, as if even her stomach hurt along with it.

Zhou Xuennian, he died?
