Zhou Xiuer's future was tied to Madam Zhou's decision. Once Madam Zhou made up her mind, Xiuer's fate was sealed, regardless of her tears or tantrums; she would have no choice but to return.
Consequently, seeing Madam Zhou's cold expression, Zhou Xiuer's eyes were filled with resentment, as if Madam Zhou was blocking her path to wealth and glory. This made Madam Zhou feel even colder and more reluctant to keep her niece by her side.
Fortunately, Purple Jade, representing Wufu, returned, and Madam Zhou entrusted the entire matter to her to handle.
As for Zhou Xiuer, she was the type to bully the weak and fear the strong. She dared to be unreasonable with Madam Zhou but became as timid as a quail in front of Purple Jade, not daring to make a sound.
Having lived a comfortable life, Zhou Xiuer was unwilling to return to a place like Wozi Village and become a farm girl. Thinking that her father was already a minor official, she demanded to go to Huaan County to join him.
