The Capital's Snacks Are Crunchy

Zhou Wanwan was watching the spectacle with bated breath when Butler Lu rushed over, saying, "Master, something terrible has happened! Our storeroom is gone! It's been emptied!"

The head of the Lu Family turned green and rushed out.

Zhou Wanwan followed along excitedly, saying, "Oh dear! I wonder what happened."

Gu Sinian, who was standing next to her, patted her head and said, "Little fox, let's go take a look together."

The Lu Family patriarch, seeing the empty cellar, turned from green to black. "Where are my treasures from the storeroom?!"

The head steward rushed over, tripping and falling, exclaiming, "Master, something terrible has happened! The back storeroom has also vanished!"

The head of the Lu Family's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, muttering to himself, "Who on earth was it? My life's savings, all gone just like that."

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and really wanted to laugh. He still had his life's fortune? He deserved it.

The head of the Lu Family looked up at Zhou Wanwan and said, "It was you! You must have done it!"

Zhou Wanwan frowned and said:

"Head of the Lu Family, have you lost your mind too? Do you really think a six-year-old child like me could do such a thing?"

Besides, I was in front the whole time.

The head of the Lu Family burst into tears, shouting, "If it wasn't you, then who was it? You are... but..."

"Who? The leader of Black Wind Mountain Stronghold? You're talking nonsense!"

I'm just a farmer in the mountains, not the leader of Black Wind Mountain Stronghold!

"If I were the leader of Black Wind Mountain Stronghold, I would have wiped out your entire Lu Family," Zhou Wanwan said calmly.

The head of the Lu Family was so angry that his nose twisted.

"What did you say? If you're so capable, then let the Black Wind Mountain Stronghold chieftain come and destroy me!"

He's a coward, only good for pulling dirty tricks behind my back. Go ahead and kill me if you dare!

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said:

"I'm not the leader of Black Wind Stronghold, so I can't make these decisions for him."

But I feel worse than being killed for stealing from you.

The head of the Lu Family, holding back tears, said:

"Get out! All of you get out! I'm not seeing anyone anymore."

"There must be the Black Wind Stronghold chief among you people, otherwise how could my things be gone?"

The head of the Lu Family was furious and kicked everyone out.

Some people were still asleep when they were woken up by the servants.

Those people were still groggy when they were woken up:

"What's going on? Did the Lu Family eat breakfast so early?"

I feel like I just fell asleep, how could I have been woken up?

Someone else waved their hand and said, "Patriarch Lu Family, you're being too polite. You're waking us up in the middle of the night for breakfast."

The head of the Lu Family said with red eyes:

"What breakfast? My whole house was raided, where would we get the money for breakfast?"

All of you, go back now!

The head of the Lu Family stopped pretending and directly kicked them out.

Everyone stood at the Lu Family's gate, asking, "What's going on? Has the Lu Family gone mad? Chasing people away in the middle of the night!"

"I heard that the Lu Family was robbed yesterday, and everything in both warehouses was stolen last night."

I heard there are people having affairs in their backyard!

"Is that so? We didn't see the drama. Who was having an affair with whom yesterday?"

Just as someone was about to start gossiping about Shen Zhiyu and Su Zhixia, Zhou Wanwan shouted, "I know, I know! I was there! Shen Zhiyu and Lu Xuening are so loving!"

The ladies and young women immediately erupted in uproar.

Someone jumped to their feet in surprise, their voice trembling. "Is that Miss Lu from the capital? The one known for her impeccable manners and virtuous conduct?"

"How could this be?! She would do something like this?"

"For a noble lady from such a prestigious family to behave in such a shameless manner, how will the Lu Family save face if word gets out?"

Disbelief was written on everyone's face, but their eyes also held a hint of excitement at the spectacle.

Madam Lu's face turned pale instantly, then flushed red, and she trembled with anger.

She suddenly took a step forward, pointed at Zhou Wanwan's nose, and yelled:

Zhou Wanwan! You're talking nonsense!

If you dare to spout nonsense again, if you dare to say another bad word about Xuening, I... I'll tear your mouth apart!

Zhou Wanwan replied loudly:

What? Are you getting angry?

The truth is right in front of us, should we just cover it up and keep others in the dark?

You told Lu Xuening not to do something so shameless! But she did it, so she has to accept it.

Don't throw mud at others.

Madam Lu was so angry she was jumping up and down, but Zhou Wanwan ignored her and turned to leave.

Madam Lu grew increasingly furious and shouted to the guards behind her, "Kill her! Kill that little slut!"

The guards rushed out immediately; they were incredibly fast. It's important to know that the guards in the capital undergo rigorous training.

But as soon as he got to the Old Scholar Tree Old Scholar Tree, he was entangled by it:

"Yo yo yo! Check it out, they've brought us snacks again."

I wonder if the snacks in Beijing taste different?

The Old Ancestor was so happy he rubbed his hands together.

"Come on, let me try some too, hehehe..."

I have to say, the snacks in Beijing are so crunchy and taste amazing. I feel like I've gained so much energy from them.

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Uncle Scholar Tree and the Old Ancestor are now the most powerful in our family. They should be much stronger than the experts on the Earth Ranking, right?"

The Old Scholar Tree sneered:

"Top-ranked experts on the Earth Ranking? That's nothing. I reckon I could rank around fiftieth on the Earth Ranking."

It's a pity there are so few experts on the Earth Ranking. If we could eat a few more, we could climb to the top of the Earth Ranking.

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said, "It is indeed a pity. No, Madam Lu has treated me like this, I have to repay her in some way."

Madam Lu grabbed Lu Xuening, her face ashen, and walked towards the inn not far away without looking back.

Just as I turned the corner, I saw two large carriages parked there, their cargo piled Manman with luggage and trunks.

Madam Lu sneered:

"This Lu Family patriarch is truly useless now! We are, after all, legitimate relatives of the Lu Family, and in terms of seniority, we are his elders."

How dare they treat us like this! Just you wait, I'll settle this score with them sooner or later.

And that Zhou Wanwan! She's such a wild and arrogant brat!

How dare she gossip in public and ruin my Xuening's reputation! Tonight I'll teach her a lesson she won't forget, and I'll make sure she suffers a terrible fate!

Tears streamed down Lu Xuening's face, her voice trembling with sobs. "Mother, what are we going to do now? If word gets out, how can I ever face anyone again?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Lu's anger flared even more:

What else can we do? It's all your fault for being so useless!

You and Shen Zhiyu are getting married soon, are you in such a hurry?

You may be shameless, but I still have my pride! You've completely disgraced the Lu Family!

Lu Xuening cried even harder:

"I never expected... that we'd get caught red-handed tonight!"

Besides, Mother, you asked me to win his heart, what can I do?

Madam Lu pointed at her nose and cursed, "After I kill that Zhou Wanwan to vent my anger, I'll deal with you later!"

She took a deep breath and lowered her voice:

"Don't worry about it, we'll find a way to smooth things over when the time comes."

Then they'll blame everything on Su Zhixia and drag that brat into it too.

I just can't stand how well that girl surnamed Su is doing. Why is it that even though we're neighbors, she gets to find someone so rich?
