Doted By The Regent King

Chapter 1707 - 1645: All Your Misfortune Was My Doing

Madam Wang had never felt such torment and fear as she did now, at this deep, quiet hour of the night, being threatened with a knife, her face already cut and bleeding.

The words spoken by the other party made her tremble with fear deep in her heart.

"What, what do you want to do!" Madam Wang was almost about to cry out.

"You were happy about my mother’s death, weren’t you?" Wufu said calmly, "The thorn in your side finally died, died by your knife, you played the executioner so well, you must be very pleased with yourself."

Madam Wang was taken aback, her eyes darting around, and she said, "I don’t understand what you’re saying, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise, the people in my yard will be here soon."

Wufu chuckled, "You think I came without the slightest advantage? I can sit silently by your bed without being discovered, and I can leave just as quietly. Oh, I also have people stationed outside!"

Madam Wang pursed her lips.

"You haven’t learned your lesson, you haven’t become savvy. Do you think a little country girl like me could just leap into becoming the lofty County Magistrate Ruifu with just fortune?"

"Luck is an illusion, people must rely on their true abilities." Wufu said, the knife picking at her hair, "If I didn’t have skills, do you think I would come looking for you, to reduce you to such a miserable state?"

"Do you think that this year has been a streak of bad luck for you, falling from your noble position to a string of mishaps, quite unlucky, right? That’s because of me!"

Madam Wang widened her eyes: "You..."

"Everything you’ve suffered, I’ve been the one orchestrating it, including the downfall of your family." Wufu’s voice was light and indifferent.

"What!" Madam Wang was utterly shocked.

The downfall of the Wang Family was because of her?

"Surprised? Why have you been so unlucky, why has everything gone wrong? It’s because I took the lead, and you’ve been following my design, leading to your misfortune." Wufu looked at her and said, "Your family’s decline was my design, but it was because you first harbored murderous intent."

Madam Wang found herself unable to speak, her mind buzzing.

"You were too nervous and too self-absorbed, failing to understand your enemy’s depth before desiring to kill. Had you not first sought to hire a killer, I wouldn’t have targeted your family, but you were too self-centered." The sharp blade in Wufu’s hand cut off a section of her hair, "You ruined your family for the sake of Wu Lihong, how foolish!"

"It was you, it was you." Madam Wang’s voice trembled.

Realizing her family’s decline was by this person’s design, Madam Wang felt both shocked and angry, eventually turning to fear.

This happened long ago, before she knew any nobles or became the County Magistrate Ruifu, yet she had already brought down a noble household. What kind of power and resources did she hold then?

Madam Wang, being of noble origin, naturally knew that bringing down a noble required resources and power. However, here was an ordinary country girl who possessed them.

The most terrifying thing for Madam Wang was not the truth itself, but Wufu’s purpose in revealing it. Why would she say it so openly, what did she rely on?

Her frankness showed she wasn’t afraid of anyone finding out, or did she have other assurances?

Right, how can someone be silenced, only the dead can’t speak!

Did she intend to kill her?
